 (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more

consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders of Securities of such series may, alternatively, be embodied in and evidenced by the record of Holders of Securities of such series voting in favor thereof,
either in person or by proxies duly appointed in writing, at any meeting of Holders of Securities of such series duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article Fourteen, or a combination of such instruments and any such record.
Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument 

  
 10 

 
or instruments or record or both are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments and any such record (and the action
embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments and so voting at any such meeting. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing
appointing any such agent, or of the holding by any Person of a Security, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 315 of the Trust Indenture Act) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company and any
agent of the Trustee or the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section. The record of any meeting of Holders of Securities shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 1406. 

Without limiting the generality of this Section 104, unless otherwise established in or pursuant to a Board Resolution or set forth
or determined in an Officers’ Certificate, or established in one or more indentures supplemental hereto, pursuant to Section 301, a Holder, including a U.S. Depository that is a Holder of a global Security, may make, give or take, by a
proxy, or proxies, duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders, and a U.S. Depository that is a Holder of a global
Security may provide its proxy or proxies to the beneficial owners of interests in any such global Security through such U.S. Depository’s standing instructions and customary practices. 

The Trustee shall fix a record date, which shall be not more than 30 days prior to the first solicitation of such Holders, for the
purpose of determining the Persons who are beneficial owners of interest in any permanent global Security held by a U.S. Depository entitled under the procedures of such U.S. Depository to make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in
writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders. If such a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date or their duly appointed
proxy or proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to make, give or take such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date. No such
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action shall be valid or effective if made, given or taken more than 90 days after such record date. 

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any reasonable manner which the
Trustee deems sufficient and in accordance with such reasonable rules as the Trustee may determine; and the Trustee may in any instance require further proof with respect to any of the matters referred to in this Section. 

(c) The ownership, principal amount and serial numbers of Registered Securities held by any Person, and the date of the commencement and
the date of termination of holding the same, shall be proved by the Security Register. 
 (d) The ownership, principal amount
and serial numbers of Bearer Securities held by any Person, and the date of the commencement and the date of termination of holding the same, may be proved by the production of such Bearer Securities or by a certificate executed, as depositary, by
any Bank, banker or other depositary reasonably acceptable to the Company, wherever situated, if such certificate shall be deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory, showing 

  
 11 

 
that at the date therein mentioned such Person had on deposit with such depositary, or exhibited to it, the Bearer Securities therein described; or such facts may be proved by the certificate or
affidavit of the Person holding such Bearer Securities, if such certificate or affidavit is deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory. The Trustee and the Company may assume that such ownership of any Bearer Security continues until (1) another
certificate or affidavit bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Bearer Security is produced, or (2) such Bearer Security is produced to the Trustee by some other Person, or (3) such Bearer Security is surrendered in exchange
for a Registered Security, or (4) such Bearer Security is no longer Outstanding. The principal amount and serial numbers of Bearer Securities held by the Person so executing such instrument or writing and the date of the commencement and the
date of termination of holding the same may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient. 
 (e) If the
Company shall solicit from the Holders of any Registered Securities any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company may at their option, by Board Resolutions, fix in advance a record date, which shall
be not more than 30 days prior to the first solicitation of such Holders, for the determination of Holders of Registered Securities entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the
Company shall have no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of Registered
Securities of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Securities have authorized or agreed or consented to such
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the Outstanding Securities shall be computed as of such record date; provided no such authorization, agreement or consent of the Holders of
Registered Securities shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record date. 
 (f) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every
Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done or suffered to be done by the Trustee, any Security Registrar, any Paying Agent or the Company in reliance thereon,
whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

Corporate Trust Office, or 

  
 12 

	(2)	the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed,
first-class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to the attention of its Treasurer at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this Indenture or at any other address previously furnished in writing to a

 Section 106. Notice to Holders; Waiver.

Security affected by such event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such Notice; and 

 

	(2)	such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders of Bearer Securities, if any, if published in an Authorized Newspaper and, if such Securities are then listed on any
stock exchange outside the United States, in an Authorized Newspaper in such city as the Company shall advise the Trustee that such stock exchange so requires, on a Business Day at least twice, the first such publication to be not earlier than the
earliest date and not later than the latest date prescribed for the giving of such notice. 

 In any case where
notice to Holders of Registered Securities is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder of a Registered Security shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect
to other Holders of Registered Securities or the sufficiency of any notice to Holders of Bearer Securities given as provided herein. Any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given or
provided. In the case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall
constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder. 
 In case by reason of the suspension of publication of any
Authorized Newspaper or Authorized Newspapers or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to publish any notice to Holders of Bearer Securities as provided above, then such notification to Holders of Bearer Securities as shall be given
with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute sufficient notice to such Holders for every purpose hereunder. Neither failure to give notice by publication to Holders of Bearer Securities as provided above, nor any defect in any notice so
published, shall affect the sufficiency of any notice mailed to Holders of Registered Securities as provided above. 
 Where
this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by
Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with the duties imposed pursuant to Section 318(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, such imposed duties shall control. 
 Section 109. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. 
 The Article
and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

Indenture, any Security or any Coupon shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 

Section 112. Benefits Of Indenture.

and the Holders of Securities or Coupon, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. 

Section 113. Governing Law. 
 This Indenture, the Securities and the Coupons shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

 Section 114. Legal Holidays.

right to convert these Securities, is not a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, any Security or Coupon other than a provision in any Security or any Coupon that specifically states that
such provision shall apply in lieu of this Section) payment of interest or any Additional Amounts or principal (and premium, if any) or conversion of the Securities need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next
succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity, or the last such day of conversion, and no interest shall accrue on the amount so

set forth in such Officers’ Certificate or in any indenture or indentures supplemental hereto pertaining to such series of Securities. All Securities of any one series need not be issued at the same time and, unless otherwise so provided by the
Company, a series may be reopened for issuances of additional Securities of such series. 
 If any of the terms of the
Securities of any series were established by action taken by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, the Board Resolution shall be delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officers’ Certificate setting forth the terms of such
series. 
 Section 302. Denominations. 
 Unless otherwise established with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 301, the Registered Securities of each series, if any, denominated in Dollars shall be issuable in registered form
without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof, and the Bearer Securities of each series, if any, denominated in Dollars shall be issuable in the denomination of $5,000. Securities not denominated in Dollars shall be
issuable in such denominations as are established with respect to such Securities pursuant to Section 301. 

Section 303. Securities in Foreign Countries 
 Whenever this Indenture provides for (i) any action by, or the determination of any of the rights of, Holders of Securities of any series in which not all of such Securities are denominated in the
same currency, or (ii) any distribution to Holders of Securities, in the absence of any provision to the contrary in the form of Security of any particular series, any amount in respect of any Security denominated in a currency other than
United States dollars shall be treated for any such action or distribution as that amount of United States dollars that could be obtained for such amount on such reasonable basis of exchange and as of the record date with respect to Registered
Securities of such series (if any) for such action, determination of rights or distribution (or, if there shall be no applicable record date, such other date reasonably proximate to the date of such action, determination of rights or distribution)
as the Company may specify in a written notice to the Trustee or, in the absence of such written notice, as the Trustee may determine. 

  
 20 

 Section 304. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. 

The Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, Deputy
Chairman, one of its Vice Chairmen, its Chief Executive Officer, its President or one of its Vice Presidents under its corporate seal reproduced thereon and attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these
officers on the Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto may be manual or facsimile. 
 Securities and Coupons bearing
the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and
delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities. 
 At any time and from time to time
after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series, together with any Coupons appertaining thereto, executed by the Company, to the Trustee for authentication, and, provided that the Board Resolution
or Resolutions and Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture or indentures with respect to such Securities referred to in Section 301 and a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, has been delivered to
the Trustee, the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order and subject to the provisions hereof of such Securities shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. In authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities
under this Indenture in relation to such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Sections 315(a) through 315(b) of the Trust Indenture Act) shall be fully protected in relying upon,

  

	 	(1)	an Opinion of Counsel stating, to the effect 

  

	 	(A)	that the form or forms and terms of such Securities and Coupons, if any, have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

  

	 	(B)	that all conditions precedent to the authentication and delivery of such Securities and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto, have been complied with and that such
Securities, and Coupons, when completed by appropriate insertion and executed and delivered by the Company to the Trustee for authentication pursuant to this Indenture, and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the
manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute legally valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity
or at law) and will entitle the Holders thereof to the benefits of the Indenture; such Opinion of Counsel need express no opinion as to the availability of equitable remedies; 

  
 21 

	 	(C)	that all laws and requirements in respect of the execution and delivery by the Company of such Securities and Coupons, if any, have been complied with; and

  

	 	(D)	as to such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request; and 

  

	 	(2)	an Officers’ Certificate stating that, to the best knowledge of the Persons executing such certificate, no Event of Default with respect to any of the Securities
shall have occurred and be continuing. 

 If all the Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time, it
shall not be necessary to deliver an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate at the time of issuance of each Security, but such opinion and certificate, with appropriate modifications, shall be delivered at or before the time of
issuance of the first Security of such series. 
 The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate or to cause an
Authenticating Agent to authenticate any Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is
not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee or if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal
liability to existing Holders. 
 Each Registered Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. Each Bearer Security
and any temporary Bearer Security in global form shall be dated as of the date specified as contemplated by Section 301. 

No Security or Coupon shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there
appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for in section 202 or 611 executed by or on behalf of the Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers, and such certificate upon any
Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Except as permitted by Section 307 or 308, the Trustee shall not authenticate and deliver any Bearer Security
unless all appurtenant Coupons for interest then matured have been detached and cancelled. 
 Section 305. Temporary
Securities. 
 Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute and deliver to the
Trustee and, upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the manner provided in Section 304, temporary Securities of such series which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any
authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued, in registered form or, if authorized, in bearer form with one or more Coupons or without

  
 22 

 
Coupons and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers of the Company executing such Securities may determine, as conclusively evidenced by
their execution of such Securities. In the case of Securities of any series, such temporary Securities may be in global form. 

Except in the case of temporary Securities in global form, which shall be exchanged in accordance with the provisions thereof, if
temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company shall cause definitive Securities of such series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the temporary Securities of such
series, if any, shall be exchangeable upon request for definitive Securities of such series containing identical terms and provisions upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at an office or agency of the Company maintained for such
purpose pursuant to Section 1002, without charge to any Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series (accompanied by any unmatured Coupons appertaining thereto), the Company shall execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of authorized denominations of the same series containing identical terms and provisions; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no definitive Bearer
Security, except as provided pursuant to Section 301, shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Registered Security; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that a definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Bearer Security
only in compliance with the conditions set forth herein or therein. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to a temporary global Security, until so exchanged the temporary Securities of any series shall in all
respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series. 
 Section 306.
Registration, Transfer and Exchange. 
 With respect to the Registered Securities of each series, if any, the Company shall
cause to be kept, at an office or agency of the Company maintained pursuant to Section 1002, a register (each such register being herein sometimes referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of the Registered Securities of each series and of transfers of the Registered Securities of such series. In the event that the Trustee shall not be the Security
Registrar, it shall have the right to examine the Security Register at all reasonable times. [Seacoast Banking Corporation of Florida, Stuart, Florida] is hereby initially appointed as Security Registrar for each series of Securities. In the event
that [Seacoast Banking Corporation of Florida] shall cease to be Security Registrar with respect to a series of Securities, the Trustee shall have the right to examine the Security Register for such series at all reasonable times. 

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered Security of any series at any office or agency of the Company maintained
for such series pursuant to Section 1002, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Registered Securities of the same series of any
authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding and containing identical terms and provisions. At the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of any series may be exchanged for
other Registered Securities 

  
 23 

 
of the same series containing identical terms and provisions, in any authorized denominations, and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at any
such office or agency. Whenever any Registered Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Registered Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to
receive. 
 If specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to Securities of any series, at the option of the
Holder, Bearer Securities of such series may be exchanged for Registered Securities of such series containing identical terms and provisions, of any authorized denominations and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Bearer Securities to
be exchanged at any such office or agency for such series, with all unmatured Coupons and all matured Coupons in default thereto appertaining. If the Holder of a Bearer Security is unable to produce any such unmatured Coupon or Coupons or matured
Coupon or Coupons in default, such exchange may be effected if the Bearer Securities are accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the Company and the Trustee in an amount equal to the face amount of such missing Coupon or Coupons, or the
surrender of such missing Coupon or Coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there is furnished to them such Security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of
such Security shall surrender to any Paying Agent any such missing Coupon in respect of which such a payment shall have been made, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount of such payment; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, except as otherwise
provided in Section 1002, interest represented by Coupons shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of those Coupons at an office or agency for such series located outside the United States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case a
Bearer Security of any series is surrendered at any such office or agency in exchange for a Registered Security of such series and like tenor after the close of business at such office or agency on (i) any Regular Record Date and before the
opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related date for payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer
Security shall be surrendered without the Coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date or proposed date of payment, as the case may be (or, if such Coupon is so surrendered with such Bearer Security, such Coupon shall be returned to the person so
surrendering the Bearer Security), and interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange
for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such Coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. 
 If specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to Securities of any series, at the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of such series may be exchanged for Bearer Securities upon
such terms and conditions as may be provided pursuant hereto with respect to such series. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange as contemplated by the immediately preceding two paragraphs, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
 Notwithstanding
the foregoing, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, any global Security of any series shall be exchangeable for Securities of such series only if 

  
 24 

 
(i) the Securities Depository is at any time unwilling or unable or ineligible to continue as Securities Depository and a successor depository is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of
the date the Company is so notified in writing, (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order to the effect that such global Security shall be so exchangeable, or (iii) an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing with respect to the Securities. If the beneficial owners of interests in a global Security are entitled to exchange such interests for Securities of such series and of like tenor and principal amount of any authorized form and
denomination, as specified as contemplated by Section 301, then without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee definitive
Securities of that series in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such global Security, executed by the Company. On or after the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, such global Security shall be
surrendered from time to time by the U.S. Depository or such other depository as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto, and in accordance with instructions given to the Trustee and the U.S. Depository or such other depository,
as the case may be (which instructions shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 102 or be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel), as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to the Trustee, as the Company’s
agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or in part, for definitive Securities of the same series without charge. The Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in exchange for each portion of such surrendered global
Security, a like aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor as the portion of such global Security to be exchanged which (unless the Securities of such series are not issuable
both as Bearer Securities and as Registered Securities, in which case the definitive Securities exchanged for the global Security shall be issuable only in the form in which the Securities are issuable, as specified as contemplated by
Section 301) shall be in the form of Bearer Securities or Registered Securities, or any combination thereof, as shall be specified by the beneficial owner thereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such exchanges may occur during a period beginning at
the opening of business 15 days before any selection of Securities of such series to be redeemed and ending on the relevant Redemption Date; and provided, further, that (unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301) no Bearer
Security delivered in exchange for a portion of a global Security shall be mailed or otherwise delivered to any location in the United States. Promptly following any such exchange in part, such global Security shall be returned by the Trustee to
such Depository or the U.S. Depository, as the case may be, or such other Depository or U.S. Depository referred to above in accordance with the instructions of the Company referred to above. If a Registered Security is issued in exchange for any
portion of a global Security after the close of business at the office or agency where such exchange occurs on (i) any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or
(ii) any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, interest will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date
or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of such Registered Security, but will be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, only to the Person to whom interest in respect of such
portion of such global Security is payable in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. 

  
 25 

 All Securities endorsed thereon issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of
Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company evidencing the same debt, and entitling the Holders thereof to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 

Every Registered Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange, redemption or conversion shall (if so
required by the Company or the Security Registrar for such series of Security presented) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and such Security Registrar duly executed by the
Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 
 No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer
or exchange, redemption or conversion 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 of transfer or exchange of Securities,
other than exchanges pursuant to Section 305, 906 or 1107 not involving any transfer. 
 Except as otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 301, the Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the selection for
redemption of Securities of such series under Section 1103 and ending at the close of business on the day of such selection, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Registered Security so selected for redemption in whole or in
part, except in the case of any Security to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed, or (iii) to exchange any Bearer Security so selected for redemption except, to the extent provided with respect to such Security, that such
a Bearer Security may be exchanged for a Registered Security of that series, provided that such Registered Security shall be immediately surrendered for redemption with written instruction for payment consistent with the provisions of this Indenture
or (iv) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security which, in accordance with its terms specified as contemplated by Section 301, has been surrendered for repayment at the option of the Holder, except the portion, if any,
of such Security not to be repaid. 
 Section 307. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. 

If any mutilated Security or a Security with a mutilated Coupon appertaining to it is surrendered to the Trustee, subject to the
provisions of this Section 307, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series containing identical terms and of like principal amount and bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding, with Coupons corresponding to the Coupons, if any, appertaining to the surrendered Security. 

If there be delivered to the Company and to the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Security or Coupon, and (ii) such Security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security or Coupon has been
acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its request the Trustee 

  
 26 

 
shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or in exchange for the Security to which a destroyed, lost or stolen Coupon
appertains with all appurtenant Coupons not destroyed, lost or stolen, a new Security of the same series containing identical terms and of like principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, with Coupons corresponding to
the Coupons, if any, appertaining to such destroyed, lost or stolen Security or to the Security to which such destroyed, lost or stolen Coupon appertains. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 307, in case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or Coupon 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 or Coupon; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and any interest on Bearer Securities shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 1002,
be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, any interest on Bearer Securities shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the Coupons
appertaining thereto. 
 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. 

Every new Security of any series, with its Coupons, if any, issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen
Security and its Coupons, if any, or the destroyed, lost or stolen Coupon shall constitute a separate obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security and its Coupons, if any, or the destroyed, lost or stolen Coupon
shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of that series and their Coupons, if any. 

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 or Coupons. 
 Section 308. Payment of
Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. 
 Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, interest on any
Registered Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered as of the close of business
on the Regular Record Date for such interest. In case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security of such series after the close of business (at an office or agency in a Place of Payment for such series) on
any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business (at such office or agency) on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the Coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date and interest will
not be payable on such Interest Payment Date in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange of such Bearer Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such Coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

  
 27 

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

	 	(1)	The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Registered Securities affected (or their respective Predecessor
Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted
Interest proposed to be paid on each such Registered Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of
such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed payment. Money will be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in
this Clause provided. Thereupon, the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10
days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company shall cause notice of the proposed payment of
such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of such Registered Securities at his address as it appears in the Security Register not less than 10 days prior to such Special
Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names such Registered Securities (or their
respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause (2). In case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered at the office or
agency in a Place of Payment for such series in exchange for a Registered Security of such series after the close of business at such office or agency on any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the
related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the Coupon relating to such proposed date of payment and Defaulted Interest will not be payable on such proposed date of payment in respect of
the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such Coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. 

  
 28 

	 	(2)	The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any Securities exchange on which such
Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Clause, such payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

 At the option of the Company, interest on Registered Securities of any series that bear interest may be paid by
mailing a check to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register. 
 Subject
to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section 306, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and
unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security. 
 Section 309. Persons Deemed Owners. 

Prior to due presentment of a Registered Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or
the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Registered Security is registered as the owner of such Registered Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any), and (subject to Sections 306 and 308) interest
on or any Additional Amounts with respect to, such Registered Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not any payment with respect to such Registered Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the
Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or
the Trustee may treat the bearer of any Bearer Security and the bearer of any Coupon as the absolute owner of such Security or Coupon for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether
or not any payment with respect to such Security or Coupon be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

Section 310. Cancellation. 
 All Securities and Coupons surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the
Trustee or the Security Registrar, be delivered to the Trustee or the Security Registrar, and any such Securities and Coupons and Securities and Coupons surrendered directly to the Trustee or the Security Registrar for any such purpose shall be
promptly cancelled by the Trustee or the Security Registrar, as the case may be. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee or the Security Registrar for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the
Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee or the Security Registrar, as the case may be. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any
Securities 

  
 29 

 
cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture or as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301. All cancelled Securities and Coupons held by
the Trustee or the Security Registrar shall be returned to the Company by the Trustee or the Security Registrar, as the case may be, upon a Company Order. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of all cancelled Securities. 

Section 311. Computation of Interest. 
 Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months. 
 Section 312. CUSIP Numbers. 
 The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to
Holders; PROVIDED that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other
identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

ARTICLE FIVE 
 REMEDIES 
 Section 501. Events of Default. 

“Event of Default”, wherever used herein with respect to Securities of any series, means any one of the following events
(whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or be effected by operation of law pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body)
unless it is either inapplicable to a particular series or is specifically deleted or modified in or pursuant to the supplemental indenture or a Board Resolution establishing such series of Securities or is in the form of Security for such series:

 (1) default is made in the payment of any installment of interest on any Security of that series when such interest or
Additional Amounts shall have become due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days; 
 (2) default is made
in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security of that series at its Maturity; 
 (3) default in the
deposit of any sinking fund payment, when and as due by the terms of a Security of that series; 
 (4) a court having
jurisdiction in the premises shall enter a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company or the Subsidiary Bank in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, and adjudging

 34 

 (5) the Company or the Subsidiary Bank shall commence a voluntary case under any applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or shall consent to the entry of an order for relief in any involuntary case under any such law, or shall consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver,
liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Company or the Subsidiary Bank or for any substantial part of its property, or shall make any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall fail
generally to pay its debts as they become due or shall take any corporate action in furtherance of any of the foregoing; 
 (6)
any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that series. 
 If an Event of Default with respect to
Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series and any related Coupons by such appropriate judicial
proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any
other proper remedy. 
 Section 502. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. 

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing, then the Trustee or the
Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal of all the Securities of that series, or such lesser amount as may be provided for in the Securities of that series, to be due
and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal or such lesser amount shall become immediately due and payable. At any time after such a
declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of not less than a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if 

 

	 	(1)	the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay 

 

	 	(A)	all overdue installments of interest on and any Additional Amounts payable in respect of all Securities of such series, 

 

	 	(B)	the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities of such series which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon
at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such Securities, 

  
 35

provided for in such Securities, and 

  

	 	(D)	all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel as
provided in Section 606 hereof; and 

  

	 	(2)	all Events of Default with respect to Securities of such series, other than the nonpayment of the principal of Securities of that series which has become due solely by
such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513. 

 No such rescission
shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 Section 503. Collection of Indebtedness
and Suits For Enforcement By Trustee. 
 The Company covenants that if 

 

	 	(1)	default is made in the payment of any installment of interest on or any Additional Amounts payable in respect of any Security of that series when such interest or
Additional Amounts shall have become due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or 

  

	 	(2)	default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security of that series at its Maturity, 

the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, the
whole amount then due and payable on such Securities and Coupons for principal (and premium, if any) and interest or Additional Amounts, if any, with interest upon the overdue principal (and premium, if any) and, to the extent that payment of such
interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest or any Additional Amounts, at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, 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. 
 If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so
due and unpaid, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by
law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated. 
 If an Event of Default
with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the 

  
 36 

 
Holders of Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights,
whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or such Securities or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. 

Section 504. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 
 In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other
obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or
otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of any overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, 

 

	 	(1)	to file and prove a claim for the whole amount or such lesser amount as may be provided for in the Securities of such series, of principal (and premium, if any) and
interest and any Additional Amounts owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto and to file such 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 or counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and 

 

	 	(2)	to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized
by each Holder of Securities or Coupons 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 of Securities or Coupons, 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 606. 
 Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder of a Security or Coupon any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or Coupons or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder of a Security or Coupon in any such proceeding.

the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or Coupons or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust,
and any recovery or judgment, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Security and Coupon in
respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

	SECOND:	  	To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securities and Coupons for principal (and premium, if any) and interest or any Additional Amounts payable in respect of
which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the aggregate amounts due and payable on such Securities and Coupons for principal (and premium, if any), interest or
any Additional Amounts, respectively;
		
	THIRD:	  	The balance, if any, to the Company.

 Section 507. Limitation on Suits. 

No Holder of any Security of any series or any related Coupons shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise,
with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless 
  

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

 

	 	(2)	the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute
proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; 

  

	 	(3)	such Holder or Holders have offered indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such
request; 

  
 38 

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

 

	 	(5)	no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series; 

 it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any
right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture or any Security to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other such Holders or Holders of Securities of any other series, or to obtain or to seek
to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all such Holders.

 Section 509. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 

If the Trustee or any Holder of a Security or Coupon has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and
such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case the Company, the Trustee and each such Holder shall, subject to any determination in
such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and each such Holder shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 

Section 510. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 
 Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities or Coupons in the last paragraph of Section 307, no right or remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of a Security or Coupon is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy, to the extent permitted by law, shall be cumulative and in addition to every
other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other
appropriate right or remedy. 

  
 39 

 Section 511. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security or coupon to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of
Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities or Coupons may be
exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders of Securities or Coupons, as the case may be. 
 Section 512. Control By Holders. 
 The Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee
with respect to the Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto, PROVIDED that 
  

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

 

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

 

	 	(3)	such direction is not unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Securities of such series.

 The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such Series and any Coupons appertaining
thereto waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default 
  

	 	(1)	in the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on or Additional Amounts payable in respect of any Security of such series or any Coupons
appertaining thereto, or 

  

	 	(2)	in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of
such series affected. 

 Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising

power as though no such law had been enacted.

The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, and in any coupons shall be
taken as the statements of the Company and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities

Qualification on Form T-l supplied to the Company are true and accurate, subject to the qualifications set forth therein. The Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Securities or the
proceeds thereof. 
 Section 604. May Hold Securities. 

The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other Person that may be an agent of the Trustee or
the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and Coupons and, subject to Sections 310(b) and 311 of the Trust Indenture Act, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would

on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed with the Company. 
 Section 606. Compensation and
Reimbursement. 
 The Company agrees 
  

	 	(1)	to pay to the Trustee from time to time such reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder as shall be mutually agreed upon by the Company and the
Trustee in writing (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust); 

  

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

  

	 	(3)	 to indemnify each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee and its agents for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability, claim, damage

the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on Securities. When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default occurs, the expenses and compensation for
the services of the Trustee are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy law or any similar federal or state law for the relief of debtors. The provisions of this Section 606 shall survive the termination of this
Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. 
 Section 607. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility;
Conflicting Interests. 
 There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation permitted by
Section 310(a) (1) and (5) of the Trust Indenture Act to act as trustee under the Trust Indenture Act and that has a combined capital and surplus (computed in accordance with Section 310(a) (2) of the Trust Indenture Act) of
at least $50,000,000. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article. If the Trustee has or
shall acquire any conflicting interest, as defined in Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, with respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee shall take such action as is required pursuant to said Section 310(b). 

Section 608. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. 

(a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective
until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee pursuant to Section 609. 
 (b) The Trustee may resign at any
time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 609 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30
days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to such series. 

(c) The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered to the Trustee and the Company. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of
removal, the Trustee being removed may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 

  
 44 

	 	(d)	If at any time: 

  

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

  

	 	(2)	the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 607 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder of a
Security, or 

  

	 	(3)	the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any
public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, 

 then, in any such case, (a) the Company, by or pursuant to Board Resolution, may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (b) subject to Section 315(c) of the Trust Indenture
Act any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of any series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee
with respect to all Securities of such series and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees. 
 (e) If the Trustee
shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by or pursuant to Board Resolutions, shall promptly
appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any
time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 609. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the
occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the
retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 609, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such
series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders of Securities and accepted
appointment in the manner required by Section 609, any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 

  
 45 

 (f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with
respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holders of Registered Securities,
if any, of such series as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register and, if Securities of such series are issued as Bearer Securities, by publishing notice of such event once in an Authorized Newspaper in each Place of Payment
located outside the United States. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. 

Section 609. Acceptance of Appointment By Successor. 
 (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and the
retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all
the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company and/or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such
successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder, subject nevertheless to its claim, if
any, provided for in Section 606. 
 (b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor
Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring
Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be
deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in
the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that
nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust, that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered
by any other such Trustee and that no Trustee shall be responsible for any notice given to, or received by, or any act or failure to act on the part of any other Trustee hereunder, and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture
the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein, such retiring Trustee shall with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates
have no further responsibility for the exercise of rights and powers or for the 

  
 46 

 
performance of the duties and obligations vested in the Trustee under this Indenture other than as hereinafter expressly set forth, and each such successor Trustee without any further act, deed
or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the
Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee, to the extent contemplated by such supplemental indenture, the property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with
respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates. 
 (c) Upon
request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or
(b) of this Section, as the case may be. 
 (d) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of
such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article. 
 Section 610. Merger,
Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. 
 Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or
with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the
Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties
hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the
Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities. 

Section 611. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. 
 The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Authenticating Agents, which may be an Affiliate of the Company, with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on
behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of that or those series issued upon original issue or exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 307, and Securities so authenticated shall be
entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee
or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by
an Authenticating Agent. 

  
 47 

 Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and, except as specified as
contemplated by Section 301, shall at all times be a corporation that would be permitted by Section 310(a) (1) and (5) of the Trust Indenture Act to be able to act as a trustee under an indenture qualified under the Trust
Indenture Act, is authorized under applicable law and by its charter to act as such and that has a combined capital and surplus (computed in accordance with Section 310(a) (2) of the Trust Indenture Act) of not less than $50,000,000. If at
any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section. If the Authenticating
Agent has or shall acquire any conflicting interest, as defined in Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, with respect to the Securities of any series, the Authenticating Agent shall take action as is required pursuant to said
Section 310 (b). 
 Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating
Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

 An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and the Company. The Trustee
may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall (i) mail written notice of such
appointment by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of Registered Securities, if any, of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, and
(ii) if Securities of the series are issued as Bearer Securities, publish notice of such appointment at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in the place where such successor Authenticating Agent has its principal office if such office is
located outside the United States. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an
Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section. 
 The Company agrees to pay each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section. 
 The provisions of Sections 309, 603 and 604 shall be applicable to each Authenticating Agent.

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

This is one of the Securities of the series designated herein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture. 

 

							
	Dated:

 If all of the Securities of any series may not be originally issued at one time, and if the Trustee does
not have an office capable of authenticating Securities upon original issuance located in a Place of Payment where the Company wishes to have Securities of such series authenticated upon original issuance, the Trustee, if so requested in writing
(which writing need not comply with Section 102) by the Company, shall appoint in accordance with this Section an Authenticating Agent having an office in a Place of Payment designated by the Company with respect to such series of Securities.

 The Trustee is hereby appointed as an Authenticating Agent.

provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Indenture which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture and which shall not adversely affect the interest of the Holders of Securities of any series or any
related coupons in any material respect; or 

  
 52 

	 	(7)	to add to, delete from or revise the conditions, limitations and restrictions on the authorized amount, terms or purposes of issue, authentication and delivery of
Securities, as herein set forth; or 

  

	 	(8)	to add any additional Events of Default; 

  

	 	(9)	to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of this Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to conform the obligations of the Company and the Trustee under
this Indenture to the obligations imposed on such Persons hereunder pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and rules or regulations of the Commission thereunder; 

 

	 	(10)	to make provisions with respect to the conversion rights of Holders of Convertible Securities pursuant to the requirements of Section 1606; or

such modification, deletion or addition shall become effective only with respect to series of Securities established pursuant to Section 301 after the effective date of such modification, deletion or addition. 

Section 902. Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Holders. 

With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of each series affected by
such supplemental indenture, by Act of said Holders delivered to the Company and the Trustee, the Company, when authorized by Board Resolutions, and the Trustee may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding
any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series under this Indenture; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such
supplemental Indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby, shall 
  

	 	(1)	change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of interest on, any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon
or any Additional Amounts payable in respect thereof, or any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or change the obligation of the Company to pay Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 1004 (except as contemplated by Section 801(1)
and permitted by Section 901(1)), or reduce the amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 502, or change the
Place of Payment, coin or currency in which any Security or any premium or the interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of
redemption, on or after the Redemption Date), or 

  
 53 

	 	(2)	reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, the consent of whose Holders is required for any such supplemental indenture, or

for quorum or voting, or 

  

	 	(3)	modify any of the provisions of this section, or Sections 512, 513 or Section 1007, except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other
provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby. 

 The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purposes of determining the Persons entitled to consent to any indenture supplemental hereto. If a record date is fixed, the
Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such supplemental indenture, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; PROVIDED, that unless such consent
shall have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having been obtained prior to the date which is 90 days after such record date, any such consent previously given shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be
cancelled and of no further effect. 
 A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of
this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall
be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series. 
 It shall not be
necessary for any Act of Holders of Securities under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof. 

Section 903. Execution of Supplemental Indentures. 
 As a condition to executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trust created by this Indenture, the
Trustee shall be provided with, and (subject to Section 315 of the Trust Indenture Act) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this
Indenture and that it complies with the terms of this Indenture. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or
otherwise. 

  
 54 

 Section 904. Effect of Supplemental Indentures. 

Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such

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

Section 907. Subordination Unimpaired. 
 No supplemental indenture entered into under this Article Nine shall modify, directly or indirectly, the provisions of Article Fifteen or the definition of Senior Indebtedness in Section 101 in any
manner that might alter or impair the subordination of the Securities with respect to Senior Indebtedness then outstanding, unless each holder of such Senior Indebtedness has consented thereto in writing. 

ARTICLE TEN 
 COVENANTS 
 Section 1001. Payment of Principal, Premium, If Any,
and Interest. 
 The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of each series of Securities that it will
duly and punctually pay the principal of (and premium, if any), interest on or any Additional Amounts payable in respect of the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of such series of Securities, any Coupons appertaining thereto and
this Indenture. Any interest due on and any Additional Amounts payable in respect of Bearer Securities on or before Maturity, other than Additional Amounts, if any, payable as provided in Section 1004 in respect of principal of (or premium, if
any, on) such a Security, shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the several coupons for such interest installments as are evidenced thereby as they severally mature. 

  
 55 

 Section 1002. Maintenance of Office or Agency. 

The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an office or agency where Securities of such series (but
not Bearer Securities, except as otherwise provided below, unless such Place of Payment is located outside the United States) may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served. If Securities of a series are issuable as Bearer Securities, the Company shall maintain, subject
to any laws or regulations applicable thereto, an office or agency in a Place of Payment for such series which is located outside the United States where Securities of such series and the related Coupons may be presented and surrendered for payment
(including payment of any Additional Amounts payable on Securities of such series pursuant to Section 1004); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the Securities of such series are listed on The Stock Exchange of the United Kingdom and the Republic of
Ireland or the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange located outside the United States and such stock exchange shall so require, the Company will maintain a Paying Agent in London, Luxembourg or any other required city located
outside the United States, as the case may be, so long as the Securities of such series are listed on such exchange. The Company will 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 Corporate
Trust Office of the Trustee, except that Bearer Securities of that series and the related Coupons may be presented and surrendered for payment (including payment of any Additional Amounts payable on Bearer Securities of that series pursuant to
Section 1004) at the place specified for the purpose pursuant to Section 301, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. 

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, no payment of principal, premium or interest on Bearer Securities
shall be made at any office or agency of the Company in the United States or by check mailed to any address in the United States or by transfer to an account maintained with a bank located in the United States; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, payment of
principal of and any premium and interest in U.S. dollars (including Additional Amounts payable in respect thereof) on any Bearer Security may be made at the Corporate Trust Office or any office or agency designated by the Company if (but only if)
payment of the full amount of such principal, premium, interest or Additional Amounts at all offices outside the United States maintained for the purpose by the Company in accordance with this Indenture is illegal or effectively precluded by
exchange controls or other similar restrictions. 
 The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices
or agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner
relieve the Company of their obligation to maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of
any change in the location of any such other office or agency. Unless otherwise 

  
 56 

 
specified as contemplated by Section 301, the Company hereby designates as the Place of Payment for each series the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. Pursuant to Section 301(9) of
this Indenture, the Company may subsequently appoint a place or places where such Securities may be payable. 

Section 1003. Money For Securities Payments to Be Held in Trust. 

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

Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it will, on or prior to each due date of the
principal of (and premium, if any), or interest on, any Securities of that series, deposit with any Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of
the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 

The Company will cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an
instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will: 
  

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

  

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

  

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

 The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same terms as those upon which such
sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. 

  
 57 

 Except as otherwise provided hereby or pursuant hereto, any money deposited with the Trustee
or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest and Additional Amounts on any Security of any series 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 Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security or any Coupon appertaining thereto shall
thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon
cease; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in an Authorized Newspaper in each Place of Payment for such series or
to be mailed to Holders of Registered Securities for such series, or both, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication or mailing nor shall
it be later than two years after such principal (and premium, if any) or interest has become due and payable, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. 

Section 1004. Additional Amounts. 
 If any Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, the Company agrees to pay to the Holder of any such Security of any such series or any Coupon appertaining thereto Additional
Amounts as provided therein. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on, or in respect of, any Security of any series or any related Coupon or the net proceeds
received on the sale or exchange of any Security of any series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided by the terms of such series established hereby or pursuant hereto to the extent that, in
such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to such terms and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding Additional
Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made. 
 Except as otherwise provided herein or pursuant
hereto, if the Securities of a series provide for the Payment of Additional Amounts, at least 10 days prior to the first Interest Payment Date with respect to such series of Securities (or if the Securities of that series shall not bear interest
prior to Maturity, the first day on which a payment of principal (and premium, if any, is made), and at least 10 days prior to each date of payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest if there has been any change with respect to the
matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officers’ Certificate, the Company will furnish the Trustee and the principal Paying Agent or Paying Agents, if other than the Trustee, an Officers’ Certificate instructing the Trustee and such
Paying Agent or Paying Agents whether such payment of principal (and premium, if any) of or interest on the Securities of that series shall be made to Holders of Securities of that series or the Coupons appertaining thereto who are United States
Aliens without withholding for or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge described in the Securities of that series. If any such withholding shall be required, then such Officers’ Certificate shall specify

  
 58 

 
by country the amount, if any, required to be withheld on such payments to such Holders of Securities or Coupons and the Company agrees to pay to the Trustee or such Paying Agent the Additional
Amounts required by this Section. The Company covenants to indemnify the Trustee and any Paying Agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense reasonably incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part arising
out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by any of them in reliance on any Officers’ Certificate furnished pursuant to this Section. 
 Section 1005. Statement As To Compliance; Notice of Certain Defaults. 

(a) The Company will, in addition to the reports required by Section 704(4), deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of
each fiscal year (which on the date hereof ends on December 31), a written statement, which need not comply with Section 102, signed by the Chairman of the Board, a Deputy Chairman, Vice Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer, the President
or a Vice President and by the Chief Financial Officer, the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer of the Company, stating, as to each signer thereof, that 
  

	 	(1)	a review of the activities of the Company during such year and of performance under this Indenture has been made under his supervision, and 

 

	 	(2)	to the best of his knowledge, based on such review, no event has occurred and is continuing which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of
Default, or, if such an event has occurred and is continuing, specifying each such event known to him and the nature and status thereof. 

 (b) The Company shall, so long as any Security of any series is Outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, promptly upon any officer described in clause (a) above becoming aware of any Event of Default or
event which after notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default with respect to such series, an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Event of Default or event and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with
respect thereto. 
 Section 1006. Corporate Existence. 

Subject to Article Eight, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its
corporate existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises and the corporate existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises of the Subsidiary Bank; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such
corporate existence, right or franchise if the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries considered as a whole and that the loss thereof is not
disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders. 

  
 59 

 Section 1007. Calculation of Original Issue Discount. 

The Company shall file with the Trustee promptly at the end of each calendar year (i) a written notice specifying the amount of
original issue discount (including daily rates and accrual periods) accrued on Outstanding Securities as of the end of such year and (ii) such other specific information relating to such original issue discount as may then be relevant under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time. 
 ARTICLE ELEVEN 

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES 
 Section 1101. Applicability of Article. 
 Redemption of Securities of
any series at the option of the Company as permitted or required by the terms of such Securities shall be made in accordance with the terms of such Securities and (except as otherwise provided herein or pursuant hereto) this Article. 

Section 1102. Election To Redeem; Notice To Trustee. 
 The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of the Securities of any series, with the same issue
date, interest rate and Stated Maturity, the Company shall, at least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the
principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed. 
 Section 1103. Selection By Trustee of Securities To Be
Redeemed. 
 If less than all the Securities of any series with the same issue date, interest rate, Stated Maturity and other
terms are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption, by such
method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions of the principal amount of Registered Securities of such series; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such partial redemption shall reduce
the portion of the principal amount of a Registered Security of such series not redeemed to less than the minimum denomination for a Security of such series established herein pursuant hereto. 

If any Convertible Security selected for partial redemption is converted in part before termination of the conversion right with respect
to the portion of the Security so selected, the converted portion of such Security shall be deemed (so far as may be) to be the portion selected for redemption. Securities which have been converted during a selection of Securities to be redeemed
shall be treated by the Trustee as Outstanding for the purpose of such selection. 

  
 60 

 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and the Security Registrar (if other than
itself) in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 
 For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Securities redeemed or to be redeemed
only in part, to the portion of the principal of such Securities which has been or is to be redeemed. 
 Section 1104.
Notice of Redemption. 
 Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 106, not less than 30 nor
more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, unless a shorter period is specified in the Securities to be redeemed, to the Holders of Securities to be redeemed. Failure to give notice by mailing in the manner herein provided to the Holder of any
Registered Securities designated for redemption as a whole or in part, or any defect in the notice to any such Holder, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Securities or portion thereof. 

Any notice that is mailed to the Holder of any Registered Securities in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have
been duly given, whether or not such Holder receives the notice. 
 All notices of redemption shall state: 

 

	 	(1)	the Redemption Date, 

  

	 	(2)	the Redemption Price, 

  

	 	(3)	if less than all outstanding Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the principal amount) of the
particular Securities to be redeemed, 

  

	 	(4)	in case any Registered Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice which relates to such Security shall state that on and after the Redemption Date, upon
surrender of such Security, the Holder of such Security will receive, without charge, a new Registered Security or Registered Securities of authorized denominations for the principal amount thereof remaining unredeemed, 

 

	 	(5)	in the case of Convertible Securities, the Conversion Price then in effect, the date on which the right to convert the principal amount of the Securities or the
portions thereof to be redeemed will terminate and the place or places where such Securities may be surrendered for conversion, 

  

	 	(6)	that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed only, as to Bearer Securities, against tender of
such Security and any Coupons appertaining thereto, and, if applicable, that interest thereon and Additional Amounts, if any, shall cease to accrue on and after said date, 

  
 61 

	 	(7)	the place or places where such Securities, together, in the case of Bearer Securities with all Coupons appertaining thereto, if any, maturing after the Redemption Date,
are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, 

  

	 	(8)	that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case, and 

  

	 	(9)	the CUSIP number, if any. 

 A
notice of redemption published as contemplated by Section 106 need not identify particular Registered Securities to be redeemed. 
 Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the
Company. 
 Section 1105. Deposit of Redemption Price. 

On or prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its
own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on and any
Additional Amounts with respect thereto, all the Securities or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date. 
 If any
Convertible Security or portion thereof called for redemption is converted pursuant to Article Fifteen, any money deposited with the Trustee or so segregated and held in trust for the redemption of such Security or portion thereof shall (subject to
any right of the Holder of the Security on a Regular Record Date preceding such conversion to receive interest) be paid to the Company upon Company Request or, if then held by the Company, shall be discharged from such trust. 

Section 1106. Securities Payable on Redemption Date. 
 Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after
such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest and the Coupons for such interest appertaining to any Bearer Securities so to be redeemed, except
to the extent provided below, shall be void. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, together with all Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto maturing after the Redemption Date, such Security shall be paid
by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest (or any Additional Amounts) to the Redemption Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that installments of interest on Bearer Securities whose Stated

  
 62 

 
Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of coupons for such interest (at an office or agency located outside the United States except
as otherwise provided in Section 1002), and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that installments of interest on Registered Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more
Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the Regular Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 308. 
 If any Bearer Security surrendered for redemption shall not be accompanied by all appurtenant Coupons maturing after the Redemption Date, such Security may be paid after deducting from the Redemption
Price an amount equal to the face amount of all such missing Coupons, or the surrender of such missing Coupon or Coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there be furnished to them such Security or indemnity as they may require to
save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security shall surrender to the Trustee or any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in respect of which a deduction shall have been made from the Redemption Price,
such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount so deducted; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that interest (or any Additional Amounts) represented by Coupons shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of those Coupons at an office or agency
located outside of the United States except as otherwise provided in Section 1002. 
 If any Security called for redemption
shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal (and premium, if any) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security. 

Section 1107. Securities Redeemed in Part. 
 Any Registered Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at any office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose pursuant to Section 1002 (with, if the Company or
the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Registered Security or Securities of the same series, containing identical terms and provisions, of any authorized denomination as requested by
such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered. If a Security in global form is so surrendered, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver to the U.S. Depository or other depository for such Security in global form as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to the Trustee, without service charge, a new Security in global form in a
denomination equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security in global form so surrendered. 

  
 63 

 Section 1108. Conversion Arrangements on Call for Redemption. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, in connection with any redemption of Convertible Securities of any
series, the Company, by an agreement with one or more investment bankers or other purchasers, may arrange for such purchasers to purchase all such Convertible Securities called for redemption (the “Called Securities”) which are either
(i) surrendered for redemption or (ii) not duly surrendered for redemption or conversion prior to the close of business on the Redemption Date, and to convert the same into shares of Common Stock, by the purchasers’ depositing with
the Trustee (acting as Paying Agent with respect to the deposit of such amount and as conversion agent with respect to the conversion of such Called Securities), in trust for the Holders of the Called Securities, on or prior to the Redemption Date
in the manner agreed to by the Company and such purchasers, an amount sufficient to pay the Redemption Price, payable by the Company on redemption of such Called Securities. In connection with any such arrangement for purchase and conversion, the
Trustee as Paying Agent shall pay on or after the Redemption Date such amounts so deposited by the purchasers in exchange for Called Securities surrendered for redemption prior to the close of business on the Redemption Date and for all Called
Securities surrendered after such Redemption Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article Eleven, the obligation of the Company to pay the Redemption Price of such Called Securities shall be satisfied and discharged to
the extent such amount is so paid by such purchasers. However, nothing in this Section 1108 shall in any way relieve the Company of the obligation to pay such Redemption Price on all Called Securities to the extent such amount is not so paid by
said purchasers. For all purposes of this Indenture, any Called Securities surrendered by the Holders for redemption, and any Called Securities not duly surrendered for redemption or conversion prior to the close of business on the Redemption Date,
shall be deemed acquired by such purchasers from such Holders and surrendered by such purchasers for conversion and shall in all respects be deemed to have been converted, all as of immediately prior to the close of business on the Redemption Date,
subject to the deposit by the Purchasers of the above amount as aforesaid. Nothing in this Section 1108 shall in any way limit the right of any Holder of a Security to convert his Security pursuant to the terms of this Indenture and of such
Security at any time prior to the close of business on the Redemption Date applicable thereto. 
 ARTICLE TWELVE

 SINKING FUNDS 
 Section 1201. Applicability of Article. 
 The provisions of this
Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series, except as otherwise permitted or required by any form of Security of such series issued pursuant to this Indenture. 

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 such series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment”. If provided for by the terms
of Securities of any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 1202. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the

 Section 1202. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments With Securities. 

The Company may, in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of such series to be made
pursuant to the terms of such Securities as provided for by the terms of such series (1) deliver Outstanding Securities of such series (other than any of such Securities previously called for redemption or any of such Securities in respect of
which cash shall have been released to the Company), together in the case of any Bearer Securities of such series with all unmatured Coupons appertaining thereto, and (2) apply as a credit Securities of such series which have been redeemed
either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such series of Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, PROVIDED that such series of Securities have
not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking
fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. If as a result of the delivery or credit of Securities of any series in lieu of cash payments pursuant to this Section 1202, the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed in order to
exhaust the aforesaid cash payment shall be less than $100,000, the Trustee need not call Securities of such series for redemption, except upon Company Request, and such cash payment shall be held by the Trustee or a Paying Agent and applied to the
next succeeding sinking fund payment, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall at the request of the Company from time to time pay over and deliver to the Company any cash payment so being held by the Trustee or such Paying
Agent upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of Securities of that series purchased by the Company having an unpaid principal amount equal to the cash payment requested to be released to the Company. 

Section 1203. Redemption of Securities For Sinking Fund. 

Not less than 75 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an
Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion
thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting of Securities of that series pursuant to Section 1202, and the optional amount, if any, to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and will also
deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so credited and not theretofore delivered. If such Officers’ Certificate shall specify an optional amount to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, the Company shall
thereupon be obligated to pay the amount therein specified. Not less than 60 days before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in
Section 1103 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 1104. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be
made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 1106 and 1107.

REPAYMENT AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS 
 Section 1301. Applicability of Article. 
 Securities of any series
which are repayable at the option of the Holders thereof before their Stated Maturity shall be repaid in accordance with the terms of the Securities of such series. The repayment of any principal amount of Securities pursuant to such option of the
Holder to require repayment of Securities before their Stated Maturity, for purposes of Section 310, shall not operate as a payment, redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the Company, at
its option, shall deliver or surrender the same to the Trustee with a directive that such Securities be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article Thirteen, in connection with any repayment of Securities, the
Company may arrange for the purchase of any Securities by an agreement with one or more investment bankers or other purchasers to purchase such Securities by paying to the Holders of such Securities on or before the close of business on the
repayment date an amount not less than the repayment price payable by the Company on repayment of such Securities, and the obligation of the Company to pay the repayment price of such Securities shall be satisfied and discharged to the extent such
payment is so paid by such purchasers.

 ARTICLE FIFTEEN 

SUBORDINATION 
 Section 1501. Securities Subordinated To Senior Indebtedness. 
 The
Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of Securities, by its acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities and the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on and
any Additional Amounts payable in respect thereof is hereby expressly subordinated, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, in right of payment to the prior payment in full of Senior Indebtedness. 

Anything in this Indenture or in the Securities of any series to the contrary notwithstanding, the indebtedness evidenced by the
Securities shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, to all Senior Indebtedness: 
  

	 	(1)	 In the event of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, and any receivership, liquidation, reorganization, arrangement or other similar proceedings
in connection therewith, relative to the Company or to its property, and in the event of any proceedings for voluntary liquidation, dissolution or other winding-up of the Company, whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, then the holders
of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to receive payment in full of all principal, premium and interest on all Senior Indebtedness before the Holders of the Securities are entitled to receive any payment on account of principal, premium, if any,
interest or Additional Amounts upon the Securities, and to that 

  
 69 

	 	
end (but subject to the power of a court of competent jurisdiction to make other equitable provisions reflecting the rights conferred in the Securities upon Senior Indebtedness and the Holders
thereof with respect to the subordinated indebtedness represented by the Securities and the Holders hereof by a lawful plan of reorganization under applicable bankruptcy law) the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to receive for
application in payment thereof any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash or property or securities, which may be payable or deliverable in any such proceedings in respect of the Securities after giving effect to any
concurrent payment or distribution in respect of such Senior Indebtedness, except securities which are subordinate and junior in right of payment to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness then outstanding; 

 

	 	(2)	In the event that any Security of any series is declared or otherwise becomes due and payable before its expressed maturity because of the occurrence of an Event of
Default hereunder (under circumstances when the provisions of the foregoing clause (1) or the following clause (3) shall not be applicable), the holders of Senior Indebtedness outstanding at the time such Security so becomes due and
payable because of such occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder shall, so long as such declaration has not been rescinded and annulled pursuant to Section 502, be entitled to receive payment in full of all principal of, and premium and
interest on, all such Senior Indebtedness before the Holders of the Securities of such series are entitled to receive any payment on account of principal of, premium, if any, or interest and Additional Amounts on the Securities of such series.
However, nothing herein shall prevent the Holders of Securities from seeking any remedy allowed at law or at equity so long as any judgment or decree obtained thereby makes provision for enforcing this clause; and 

 

	 	(3)	In the event that any default shall occur and be continuing with respect to any Senior Indebtedness permitting the holders of such Senior Indebtedness to accelerate the
maturity thereof, if either 

  

	 	(A)	notice of such default, in writing or by telegram, shall have been given to the Company and to the Trustee, provided that judicial proceedings shall be commenced in
respect of such default within 180 days in the case of a default in payment of principal or interest and within 90 days in the case of any other default after the giving of such notice, and provided further that only one such notice shall be given
pursuant to this Section 1601(3) in any twelve months period, or 

  

	 	(B)	 judicial proceedings shall be pending in respect of such default, the Holders of the Securities and the Trustee for their benefit shall not be entitled
to receive any payment on account of principal, premium, if any, or interest and Additional Amounts thereon (including any such payment which would cause such default) unless payment in full of all principal of,

  
 70 

	 	
and premium and interest on, such Senior Indebtedness shall have been made or provided for. The Trustee, forthwith upon receipt of any notice received by it pursuant to this Section 1601(3),
shall, as soon as practicable, send a notice thereof to each Holder of Securities at the time outstanding as the names and addresses of such Holders appear on the Security Register. 

In case despite the foregoing provisions, any payment or distribution shall, in any such event, be paid or delivered to any Holder of the
Securities or to the Trustee for their benefit before all Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for and so paid and delivered to the holders of Senior Indebtedness (or their duly
authorized representatives) until all Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full. 
 The Company shall give written notice
to the Trustee within five days after the occurrence of any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization, arrangement or similar proceeding of the Company within the meaning of this Section 1601. Upon any payment or
distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article Fifteen, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 315(a) through 315(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, and the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to rely upon a
certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors or other liquidating agent making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities, for the purpose of ascertaining the
persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness 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 Fifteen. 
 The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the delivery to it of a
written notice by a person representing himself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee or agent on behalf of such holder) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee or agent on behalf
of any such holder). 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 Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this
Section 1601, the Trustee may request such person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such person, as to the extent to which such person is entitled to participate in
such payment or distribution, and as to other facts pertinent to the rights of such person under this Section 1601, 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 1502. Subrogation. 

Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness to which the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities is in the circumstances
subordinated as provided in Section 1601, the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company applicable
to such Senior Indebtedness until all amounts owing on the Securities shall be paid in full. As between the Company, its creditors other than holders of such Senior Indebtedness, and 

  
 71 

 
the Holders of the Securities, no such payment or distribution made to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness by virtue of this Article Fifteen which otherwise would have been made to the
Holders of the Securities shall be deemed to be a payment by the Company on account of such Senior Indebtedness, it being understood that the provisions of this Article Fifteen are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative
rights of the Holders of the Securities on the one hand, and the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand. 

Section 1503. Obligation Of Company Unconditional. 
 Nothing contained in this Article Fifteen or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities, 
  

	 	(1)	is intended to or shall impair as between its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holders of the Securities, the obligation of the Company
which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of (and premium, if any), interest on, or any Additional Amounts with respect to, the Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in
accordance with their terms, or 

  

	 	(2)	is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities and creditors of the Company other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, or

  

	 	(3)	prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the
rights, if any, under this Article Fifteen of the holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company received upon the exercise of any such Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to

affecting the affairs of the Company is pending or upon a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidating trustee or agent or other person making any payment or distribution, delivered to the
Trustee or to the Holders of the Securities, for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company the amount thereof or
payable thereon, the amount paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article Fifteen. 

 Section 1504. Payment On Securities Permitted. 
 Nothing contained in
this Article Fifteen or elsewhere in this Indenture, or in any of the Securities, shall affect the obligation of the Company to make, or prevent the Company from making payment of the principal of (or premium, if any), interest or any Additional
Amounts on the Securities in accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof, except as otherwise provided in this Article Fifteen.

as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this Article Fifteen and appoints the Trustee his or her attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. 

Section 1506. Knowledge Of Trustee. 
 Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article Fifteen or any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the
making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee, or the taking of any other action by the Trustee, unless and until the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the Company, any Holder of the Securities, any paying agent of the
Company or the holder or representative of any class of Senior Indebtedness. 
 Section 1507. Trustee’s Relation To
Senior Indebtedness. 
 Except as otherwise provided in the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall be entitled to all the
rights set forth in this Article Fifteen with respect to any Senior Indebtedness at the time held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness, and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as
such holder. Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture or in the Securities of any series, nothing in this Article Fifteen shall apply to claims of or payment to the Trustee under or pursuant to Sections 506 and 606. 

With respect to holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants and
obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article Fifteen, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness 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 Indebtedness and the Trustee shall not be liable to any holder of Senior Indebtedness if it shall pay over or deliver to Holders, the Company or any other Person monies or assets to which any holder of
Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article Fifteen or otherwise. 
 With respect to the holders of Senior
Indebtedness, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants or obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article Fifteen and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to holders of Senior Indebtedness

or the Trustee against the Trustee in its individual capacity. 

  
 73 

 Section 1508. Rights Of Holders Of Senior Indebtedness Not Impaired. 

No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce the subordination herein shall at any time or in any way be
prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any non-compliance by the Company with the terms, provisions or covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof any such holder may have or be
otherwise charged with. 
 ARTICLE SIXTEEN 
 CONVERSION 
 Section 1601. Conversion Privilege. 

Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article Fifteen and the terms of the Convertible Securities of the series
proposed to be converted, at the option of the Holder, any Convertible Security or any portion of the principal amount thereof which is $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, may be converted into shares of Common Stock, as said shares shall be
constituted at the Date of Conversion, at the Conversion Price for such Convertible Securities of such series in effect at the Date of Conversion. 
 Section 1602. Manner of Exercise of Convertible Privilege. 
 In order
to exercise the conversion privilege, the Holder of any Convertible Security to be converted shall surrender such Convertible Security to the Company at its office or agency, together with the conversion notice in the form provided on the Securities
(or separate written notice) duly executed, and, if so required by the Company, accompanied by instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company and to the Trustee, duly executed by the Holder or by his duly authorized attorney in
writing. Any Registered Convertible Security so surrendered during the period from the close of business on the Regular Record Date preceding an Interest Payment Date for such Registered Convertible Security to the opening of business on such
Interest Payment Date shall (unless any such Registered Convertible Security or the portion thereof being converted shall have been called for redemption on a Redemption Date during such period, in which event no interest shall be payable with
respect to such Registered Convertible Security or portion thereof, as the case may be, following such Redemption Date) also be accompanied by payment in Clearing House funds or other funds acceptable to the Company of an amount equal to the
interest payable on such Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of such Registered Convertible Security then being converted; provided, however, that no such payment need be made if there shall exist, at the time of conversion, a default in
the payment of interest on the Convertible Securities of such series. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, no adjustment shall be made for interest accrued on any Convertible Security that shall be converted or for dividends on
any shares of Common Stock that shall be delivered upon the conversion of such Convertible Securities. The funds so delivered to such office or agency shall be paid to the Company on or after such Interest Payment Date, unless the

  
 74 

 
Company shall default in the payment of the interest due on such Interest Payment Date, in which event such funds shall be repaid to the Person who delivered the same. As promptly as practicable
after the surrender of any Convertible Security for conversion as aforesaid, the Company shall deliver at said office or agency to such Holder, or on his written order, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares deliverable upon the
conversion of such Convertible Security or portion thereof and a check or cash in respect of any fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise deliverable upon such conversion, all as provided in this Article Fifteen, together with a Convertible
Security or Convertible Securities of the same series in principal amount equal to the unconverted and unredeemed portion, if any, of the Convertible Security so converted in accordance with Section 306 hereof. Such conversion shall be deemed
to have been effected on the date on which such notice shall have been received at said office or agency and such Convertible Security shall have been surrendered as aforesaid, and the Person or Persons in whose name or names any certificate or
certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be deliverable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become on said date the Holder or Holders of record of the shares represented thereby, provided, however, that any such surrender on any date
when the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed shall constitute the Person or Persons in whose name or names the certificates are to be delivered as the record Holder or Holders thereof for all purposes on the next succeeding day on
which such stock transfer books are open, but such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect on the date of such surrender. 
 Section 1603. Cash Adjustment Upon Conversion. 
 The Company shall not
be required to deliver fractions of shares of Common Stock upon conversions of Convertible Securities. If more than one Convertible Security shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares which shall be
deliverable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities so surrendered. If any fractional interest in a share of Common Stock would be deliverable upon the conversion of any Convertible
Security or Securities, the Company shall make an adjustment therefor in cash equal to the current market value of such fractional interest computed to the nearest cent either on the basis of the last reported sale price regular way of the Common
Stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (or, if not listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, then on such other exchange on which the shares of Common Stock are listed as the Company may designate) on the last Business Day prior to the Date of
Conversion or, if there shall not have been a sale on such last Business Day, on the basis of the average of the bid and asked quotations therefor on such exchange on such last Business Day or, if the Common Stock shall not then be listed on any
exchange, at the highest bid quotation in the over-the- counter market on such last Business Day as reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers through NASDAQ, its automated system for reporting quotes, or its successor or such other
generally accepted source of publicly reported bid and asked quotations as the Company may reasonably designate. 

  
 75 

 Section 1604. Conversion Price. 

The Conversion Price applicable to any series of Convertible Securities shall be the initial Conversion Price set forth on the
Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture establishing such series adjusted as provided in this Article Fifteen. 

Section 1605. Adjustment of Conversion Price. 
 The Conversion Price applicable to any series of Convertible Securities shall be adjusted from time to time as follows: 
 (a) In case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while the Securities of any series are outstanding, (i) pay a dividend on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock,
(ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combine its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price for such series in effect immediately prior thereto
shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any Security of such series thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company which he would have owned or have been
entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above, had such Convertible Security of such series been converted immediately prior to the happening of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this subdivision
(a) shall become effective, in the case of a dividend, on the payment date retroactively to immediately after the opening of business on the day following the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend,
subject to the provisions of paragraph (g) of this Section 1605, and shall become effective in the case of a subdivision or combination immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day when such subdivision or
combination, as the case may be, becomes effective. 
 (b) In case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while the
Convertible Securities of any series are outstanding, issue rights or warrants to all holders of its shares of Common Stock entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days of the record date mentioned below) to subscribe for or purchase shares
of Common Stock at a price per share less than the current market price per share of Common Stock (as defined in paragraph (d) below) at such record date, the Conversion Price of any series of Convertible Securities in effect immediately prior
to the issuance of such rights or warrants shall be adjusted as follows: the number of shares of Common Stock into which $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Securities of such series was theretofore convertible shall be multiplied by a fraction,
of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such record date plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase, and of which the denominator shall be
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such record date plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered would purchase at such current market price; and the
Conversion Price for such series of Convertible Securities shall be adjusted by dividing $1,000 by the new number of shares into which $1,000 principal amount of Securities of such series shall be convertible as aforesaid. Such adjustment shall
become effective on the date of such issuance retroactively to immediately after the opening of business on the day following the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, subject to the
provisions of paragraph (g) of this Section 1605. In determining whether any rights or warrants 

  
 76 

 
entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such current market price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares, there shall be
taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors. 

(c) In case the Company shall, at any time from time to time while the Convertible Securities of any series are outstanding, distribute
to all holders of shares of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or securities or assets (excluding cash dividends or cash distributions payable out of consolidated net earnings or retained earnings) or rights or warrants to subscribe for
shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the current market price per share of Common Stock, determined in the manner set forth in paragraph (d) below, but excluding rights or warrants referred to in paragraph (b) above, the
Conversion Price for such series of Convertible Securities in effect immediately prior to such distribution shall be adjusted by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock into which $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Securities of such
series of Convertible Securities was theretofore convertible by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share of Common Stock (as defined in paragraph (d) below) on the record date for such distribution, and of
which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock, less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive) of the portion of such
evidences of indebtedness, securities or assets or of such subscription rights or warrants so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock; and the Conversion Price for such series of Convertible Securities shall be adjusted by dividing
$1,000 by the new number of shares into which $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Securities of such series shall be convertible as aforesaid. Such adjustment shall become effective on the date of such distribution retroactively to immediately
after the opening of business on the day following the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution, subject to the provisions of paragraph (g) of this Section 1605. For the purposes of this
paragraph (c) consolidated net earnings or retained earnings shall be computed by adding thereto all charges against retained earnings on account of dividends paid in shares of Common Stock in respect of which the Conversion Price has been
adjusted, all as determined by Independent Public Accountants, whose determination shall be conclusive. 
 (d) For the purpose
of any computation under paragraphs (b) and (c) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock at any date shall be deemed to be the average of the market values of the shares of Common Stock for the ten consecutive Business
Days immediately preceding the day in question. The market value of the Common Stock for each day shall be determined as provided in Section 1603 hereof. 
 (e) The Company may make such reductions in the Conversion Price for any series of Convertible Securities, in addition to those required by paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section as it
considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights shall not be taxable to the recipients. 
 (f) Except as herein otherwise provided, no adjustment in the Conversion Price for any series of Convertible Securities shall be made by reason of the issuance, in exchange for cash, property or services,
of shares of Common Stock, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, or carrying the right to purchase any of the foregoing. 

  
 77 

 (g) If the Company shall take a record of the holders of its shares of Common Stock for the
purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or any subscription or purchase rights or any distribution and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to shareholders of any such dividend, subscription or purchase rights or distribution,
legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, subscription or purchase rights or distribution, then no adjustment of the Conversion Price for any series of Convertible Securities shall be required by reason of the taking of such record.

 (h) No adjustment in the Conversion Price for any series of Convertible Securities shall be required unless such adjustment
would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in such price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this paragraph (h) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
adjustment. All calculations under this Article Fifteen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. 
 (i) Whenever the Conversion Price for any series of Convertible Securities is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall (i) forthwith place on file at the Principal Office of the Trustee an
Officers’ Certificate showing in detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the Conversion Price after such adjustment and shall exhibit the same from time to time to any Holder of Convertible Securities of such series desiring an
inspection thereof, and (ii) cause a notice stating that such adjustment has been effected and the adjusted Conversion Price to be mailed to the Holders of Registered Convertible Securities of such series at their last addresses as they shall
appear on the Security Register. 
 (j) The Company may delete, modify or vary any of the provisions applicable to conversion of
the Convertible Securities of any series, or may add new provisions applicable thereto, all as may be contained in the Board Resolutions and Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture establishing such series. 

Section 1606. Effect of Reclassifications, Consolidations, Mergers or Sales on Conversion Privilege. 

In case of any reclassification or change of outstanding shares of the class of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible
Securities (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with one or more other
corporations (other than a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change of outstanding shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities), or
in case of the merger of the Company into another corporation, or in case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, the Holder of Convertible Securities then
outstanding shall have the right to convert such Convertible Security into the kind and amount of shares of capital stock or other securities and 

  
 78 

 
property, including cash, receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Convertible
Security might have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance. In any such case the Company, or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall execute with the
Trustee one or more supplemental indentures (which shall conform to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 as in force at the date of the execution of such supplemental indenture) containing provisions to the effect set forth above in this
Section 1606 and providing further for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article Fifteen; and any such adjustment which shall be approved by the Board of Directors and
set forth in such supplemental indenture or supplemental indentures shall be conclusive for all purposes of this Section, and the Trustee shall not be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provision contained in such
supplemental indenture or supplemental indentures relating to either the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or property receivable by Holders of Securities of any series upon the conversion of their Convertible Securities after any such
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance. 
 The above provisions of this Section 1606 shall
similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, consolidations, mergers, sales and conveyances. 

Section 1607. Taxes on Conversions. 
 The issue of stock certificates on conversions of Convertible Securities shall be made without charge to the converting Holder of Convertible Securities for any tax in respect of the issue thereof. The
Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares in any name other than that of the Holder of any Registered Convertible Security converted, and the
Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any such stock certificate unless and until the Person or Persons requesting the issue thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of
the Company that such tax has been paid. 
 Section 1608. Company to Reserve Common Stock. 

The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued shares or its issued shares
held in its treasury, or both, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Securities, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Securities.

 If any shares of Common Stock reserved or to be reserved for the purpose of conversion of Securities hereunder require
registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any Federal or State law before such shares may be validly delivered upon conversion, then the Company covenants that it will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible endeavor
to secure registration or approval, as the case may be. 

  
 79 

 The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock which may be delivered upon conversion
of Convertible Securities shall upon delivery be fully paid and nonassessable by the Company and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue or delivery thereof. 

Section 1609. Disclaimer by Trustee of Responsibility for Certain Matters. 

Neither the Trustee nor any conversion agent shall at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Convertible Securities
of any series to determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Conversion Price for such series, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein
or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same, subject, however, to the provisions of Sections 315(a) through 315(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. Neither the Trustee nor any conversion agent shall be accountable with
respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, or of any securities or property which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Convertible Security; and neither of them makes any
representation with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any conversion agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to make any cash payment or to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock certificates or other
securities or property upon the surrender of any Security for the purpose of conversion or, subject to Sections 315(a) through 315(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, to comply with any of the covenants of the Company contained in this Article Sixteen.

 Section 1610. Company to Give Notice of Certain Events. 

In the event: 
  

	 	(1)	that the Company shall pay any dividend or make any distribution to the holders of shares of Common Stock otherwise than in cash charged against consolidated net
earnings or retained earnings of the Company and its consolidated net earnings or retained earnings of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries or in Common Stock; or 

 

	 	(2)	that the Company shall offer for subscription or purchase, pro rata, to the holders of shares of Common Stock any additional shares of stock of any class or any
securities convertible into or exchangeable for stock of any class; or 

  

	 	(3)	of any reclassification or change in outstanding shares of the class of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Securities (other than a change in par value,
or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or of any merger or consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, another corporation (other than a merger or
consolidation in which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change of outstanding shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities), or of any sale or conveyance to another
corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety; 

  
 80 

 then, and in any one or more of such events, the Company will give to the Trustee and each conversion agent
written notice thereof at least fifteen days prior to (i) the record date fixed with respect to any of the events specified in (1) and (2) above, and (ii) the effective date of any of the events specified in (3) above; and
shall mail promptly a copy of such notice to the Holders of Registered Convertible Securities at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the Security Register. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality
or validity of such dividend, distribution, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. 
 * * * * * 
 This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Indenture to be duly executed as of the day and year first above written.

 81Form of Option Agreement

 Exhibit 10.16 
 EXECUTIVE NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT 
 AGREEMENT by and between SUNSHINE SILVER
MINES CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and             (the “Optionee”). 
 Pursuant to the Sunshine Silver Mines Corporation Long Term Incentive Plan (as it may be further amended from time to time, the “Plan”), the Company desires to grant to the Optionee, and
the Optionee desires to accept from the Company, an option to purchase shares of the common stock of the Company, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. 

NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Optionee agree as follows: 
 1. Grant of Options; Option Price. Effective October 30, 2012 (the “Grant Date”), the Company hereby grants to the Optionee options to purchase
            shares of Common Stock (the “Options”). The Options are intended to be treated as options that are not incentive stock options within the meaning of
Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). 
 There are potential tax consequences
associated with the grant, vesting and exercise of the Options. It is the responsibility of the Optionee to seek independent tax advice with regard to the tax treatment of the Options, the exercise thereof, the disposition of any Common Stock
acquired upon exercise of the Options and any other related matters. 
 2. Option Price. The purchase price for each Option is $13.83,
and upon exercise each Option entitles the holder to acquire one share of Common Stock. The purchase price per Option is not less than the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the Grant Date. 

3. Entitlement to Exercise Option; Term of Option. 
 (a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan,             shares out of the total Options shall become exercisable in accordance with
the following vesting schedule commencing on July 1, 2011 (the “Vesting Start Date”), provided that the Optionee has been in Continuous Service following the Grant Date: 

 

			
	 Vesting Date
	  	 Percent of Options Vested

	 First Anniversary of Vesting Start Date
	  	25%
	 Second Anniversary of Vesting Start Date
	  	25%
	 Third Anniversary of Vesting Start Date
	  	25%
	 Fourth Anniversary of Vesting Start Date
	  	25%

			
	Sunshine Silver Mines Corporation Long Term Incentive Plan	  	NQSO Agreement

  

 (b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, the remaining 150,000 shares of the Options
shall only become exercisable in accordance with the following vesting schedule commencing on December 15, 2011 (the “Second Vesting Start Date”):, provided that the Optionee has been in Continuous Service following the
Grant Date 
  

			
	 Vesting Date
	  	 Percent of Options Vested

	 First Anniversary of Second Vesting Start Date
	  	25%
	 Second Anniversary of Second Vesting Start Date
	  	25%
	 Third Anniversary of Second Vesting Start Date
	  	25%
	 Fourth Anniversary of Second Vesting Start Date
	  	25%

 Except provided in paragraph (c) below, the Options shall become exercisable on the vesting dates shown in the table
above. To the extent that the vesting schedule results in the vesting of any fractional share on a vesting date prior to the final vesting date, the number of shares vested on such vesting date will be rounded up to the nearest whole number.

 Unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Options will expire if and to the extent not exercised on or before the
tenth anniversary of the Grant Date. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company terminates the Optionee’s Continuous Service
without Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement between the Company and the Optionee (the “Employment Agreement”)) or the Optionee terminates his or her employment for Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement), any
Options which remain unvested shall immediately vest and become exercisable. In all other circumstances of termination of the Optionee’s Continuous Service, any Options which are not vested shall be forfeited immediately. 

4. Exercise of Option; Method of Payment. (a) Subject to the requirements of Section 2 of the attached Exercise Notice, vested Options
may be exercised at any time or from time to time prior to their expiry date. To exercise the Option, the Optionee shall deliver to the Company: (i) a written notice specifying the number of Options to be exercised, and (ii) payment in
full of the exercise price, together with the amount, if any, deemed necessary by the Company to enable it to satisfy any federal, state, local or foreign tax or withholding obligations with respect to the exercise of the Options. 

(b) The method of payment for exercising Options may be one or a combination of the following: (i) cash or check payable in clearinghouse funds to
the order of the Company; (ii) if permitted by the Committee, by delivery to the Company of other shares of Common Stock which, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, have been held for more than six (6) months; (iii) if
permitted by the Committee, by a “net exercise” arrangement (as described in the Plan); or (iv) any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Committee. 

  
 2 

			
	Sunshine Silver Mines Corporation Long Term Incentive Plan	  	NQSO Agreement

  

 (c) The Optionee shall deliver the signed Exercise Notice, in the form provided in Exhibit A, as a
condition of exercise of any Options. 
 5. Rights as a Stockholder. No shares of Common Stock will be issued or delivered pursuant to an
exercise of an Option until full payment for such shares has been made and arrangements to satisfy tax withholding requirements have been made to the satisfaction of the Company pursuant to Section 16 of the Plan. The Optionee shall not be
deemed to be, or have any rights as, a stockholder with respect to any shares covered by the Options until a stock certificate for such shares has been issued to the Optionee. Except as otherwise provided herein, no adjustment shall be made for
dividends or distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date of issuance of such stock certificate. 
 6.
Nontransferability of Options. The Options are not assignable or transferable except by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution. The Options are exercisable during the Optionee’s lifetime only by the Optionee or in the
case of Disability (as defined in the Employment Agreement), by the Optionee’s legal guardian. 
 7. Period to
Exercise After Termination of Employment. (a) If the Optionee’s Continuous Service with the Company or any Subsidiary terminates by reason of the Optionee’s termination by the Company without Cause or termination by Optionee for
Good Reason, then, unless sooner terminated under the terms hereof or pursuant to the Plan, unvested Options (except those that vest as provided in Section 3(c)) will terminate immediately and vested Options (including those that vest as
provided in Section 3(c)) will terminate on the 180th
day after the date of the Optionee’s termination of Continuous Service. 
 (b) If the Optionee’s Continuous Service with the Company
or any Subsidiary terminates by reason of the Optionee’s death or Disability, then, unless sooner terminated under the terms hereof or pursuant to the Plan, unvested Options will terminate immediately and vested Options will continue to be
exercisable for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of the Optionee’s death or Disability. 
 (c) If the
Optionee’s Continuous Service terminates by reason of the Optionee’s resignation without Good Reason, then, unless sooner terminated under the terms hereof or pursuant to the Plan, unvested Options will terminate immediately and vested
Options will terminate on the 30th day after such
termination of the Optionee’s Continuous Service. 
 (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the Optionee’s
Continuous Service terminates by reason of the Optionee’s termination for Cause, all vested and unvested Options will immediately cease to be exercisable and will be forfeited. 
 (e) During any period following the termination of the Optionee’s Continuous Service in which the Options remain exercisable and during which the shares of Common Stock are not publicly traded, the
Company may, in its sole discretion cancel such Option by paying the Optionee the difference between (i) the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Options and (ii) the purchase price of the Options, net of
applicable withholding taxes. For this purpose, Fair Market Value will be determined in accordance with Section 3(c)(ii) of the attached Exercise Notice.

 8. Plan Provisions Control. This Agreement is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan,
which are incorporated herein by reference. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the Plan shall govern if and to the extent that there are inconsistencies between the provisions of the Plan and the provisions
of this Agreement. The Optionee acknowledges that the Optionee has received a copy of the Plan prior to the execution of this Agreement. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings set forth in the Plan for such
terms. 
 9. No Rights Conferred. Nothing in this Agreement shall give the Optionee any right to continue in the employ or service of the
Company or any Subsidiary and/or as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors or in any other capacity, or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment or services of the Optionee.

 10. Change of Control; Adjustments. Upon the consummation of a Change of Control, any Option that is not continued, assumed (or
substituted) by the Company (or surviving corporation or ultimate parent corporation in a Change of Control transaction) shall vest and become fully exercisable. All references to the number and class of shares covered by this Agreement, the
exercise price per share of each Option, and other terms in this Agreement may be appropriately adjusted, in the discretion of the Committee, in the event of certain changes in capitalization, as set forth in Section 9 of the Plan. 

11. Securities Law and Other Requirements. Exercise of an Option is subject to compliance with applicable securities and other laws, rules and
regulations, including without limitation as set forth in Section 15 of the Plan, and the Company may defer exercise of an Option to ensure compliance with such laws, rules and regulations.

executors, administrators, successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement may not be assigned or transferred in whole or in part except as provided in the Plan.

(30) calendar days of a party’s request for negotiation, either party may initiate proceedings or arbitration only as provided herein. If any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination or validity
thereof has not been resolved by negotiation, such dispute shall be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the then current rules of JAMS by a single independent and impartial arbitrator who is located in Denver, Colorado. The arbitrator
selected must have an 

  
 4 

			
	Sunshine Silver Mines Corporation Long Term Incentive Plan	  	NQSO Agreement

  

 
expertise in the matter(s) in dispute. Each party shall bear his/her/its own fees and costs; the fees, costs and all administrative expenses of arbitration shall be borne equally by the Company
and the Optionee. The parties understand and agree that the arbitration is subject to the rules of JAMS; that the arbitrator’s decision and award shall be final and binding as to all claims that were, or could have been, raised in arbitration;
and that judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. Any award rendered hereunder may include an award of attorneys’ fees and costs but shall not include punitive damages. The
statute of limitations of the state of New York applicable to the commencement of a lawsuit shall apply to the commencement of an arbitration. 

15. Governing Law; Entire Agreement. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York
(including Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York but otherwise without regard to conflicts of laws principles). The Plan and this Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof and supersede all prior understandings and agreements, written or oral, of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may be amended by the Committee, subject to the Optionee’s consent if
such amendment is not favorable to the Optionee, except that the consent of the Optionee shall not be required for any amendment made pursuant to Section 8 or Section 9 of the Plan. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Agreement as of the date first written above.

 EXHIBIT A 

SUNSHINE SILVER MINES CORPORATION 
 STOCK OPTION AND LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN 
 EXERCISE NOTICE

 This Agreement (“Agreement”) is made as of             ,
by and between Sunshine Silver Mines Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and «Optionee» (“Purchaser”). To the extent any capitalized terms used in this Agreement are not defined, they
shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Company’s Stock Option and Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). 
 1. Exercise of Option. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Purchaser hereby elects to exercise options to purchase
            shares of the Common Stock (the “Shares”) of the Company under and pursuant to the Plan and the Stock Option Agreement granted on
            ,             (the “Option Agreement”). The purchase price for the Shares shall be
$            per Share for a total purchase price of $            . The term “Shares” refers to the purchased
Shares and all securities received in replacement of the Shares or as stock dividends or splits, all securities received in replacement of the Shares in a recapitalization, merger, reorganization, exchange or the like, and all new, substituted or
additional securities or other properties to which Purchaser is entitled by reason of Purchaser’s ownership of the Shares. 

2. Time and Place of Exercise. The purchase and sale of the Shares under this Agreement shall occur at the principal office
of the Company simultaneously with the delivery of this executed Agreement and payment of the exercise price and payment of all applicable taxes in accordance with the provisions of Section 4 of the Option Agreement. Promptly or as soon as
practicable thereafter, if the Shares are certificated, the Company will deliver to Purchaser (or hold in escrow) a certificate representing the Shares to be purchased by Purchaser (which shall be issued in Purchaser’s name or to the order of
Purchaser if the Shares are publicly traded on any stock exchange or over-the-counter market and the Shares have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)). 

3. Limitations on Transfer. In addition to any other limitation on transfer created by applicable securities laws,
Purchaser shall not assign, encumber or dispose of any interest in the Shares except in compliance with the provisions below and applicable securities laws. 
 (a) Private Company. Purchaser acknowledges that the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time following the termination of Purchaser’s Continuous Service for
any reason or after exercise of an Option if the Option is exercised after termination of Purchaser’s Continuous Service for any reason, to repurchase all or part of the Shares (the “Repurchase Right”). The repurchase price
shall be the Fair Market Value of those Shares as of the date the Repurchase Right is exercised. The Fair Market Value per Share will be determined as set forth in Section 3(c)(ii) of this Agreement. 

  
 6 

			
	Sunshine Silver Mines Corporation Long Term Incentive Plan	  	NQSO Agreement

  

 (i) Procedure. The Repurchase Right shall be exercised by
the Company or its assigns by giving Purchaser written notice of the Company’s intention to exercise the Repurchase Right. Upon such notification, Purchaser shall promptly surrender to the Company, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances,
any certificates representing the Shares being purchased, together with a duly executed stock power for the transfer of such Shares to the Company or the Company’s assignee or assignees. Upon the Company’s or its assignee’s receipt of
the certificates from Purchaser, the Company or its assignee or assignees shall, as soon as practicable following the determination of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock being purchased, (1) deliver to Purchaser a check in the
amount of the aggregate Repurchase Price, (2) cancel an amount of Purchaser’s indebtedness to the Company, if any, equal to the Repurchase Price, or (3) by a combination of (1) and (2) so that the combined payment and
cancellation of indebtedness equals the Repurchase Price. Upon delivery of such notice and the payment of the Repurchase Price (by one of the methods specified in the previous sentence), the Company shall become the legal and beneficial owner of the
Shares being repurchased and all rights and interests therein or relating thereto, and the Company shall have the right to retain and transfer to its own name the number of Shares being repurchased by the Company. 

(ii) Assignment of Repurchase Right. Whenever the Company shall have the right to repurchase shares of
Common Stock hereunder, the Company may designate and assign one or more employees, officers, directors or shareholders of the Company or other persons or organizations to exercise all or a part of the Company’s Repurchase Right and purchase
all or a part of such Shares. 
 (b) No Other Transfer Permitted. 

(i) General Rule. Except as otherwise permitted by the Company in writing or pursuant to
Section 3(b)(ii), no Shares held by Purchaser or any transferee of Purchaser may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. 

(ii) Estate Planning Transfers. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan and this Agreement to the
contrary, Purchaser may, with the consent of the Company, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, assign the Shares for bona fide estate planning purposes by Purchaser to his or her issue, or to a trustee or trustees of a trust whose vested
beneficiaries then include any such of Purchaser’s kindred, if (i) the persons who would control the Shares and the proposed arrangements for the control of the Shares are reasonably satisfactory to the Company, including, without
limitation, that any Shares will remain subject to all of the forfeiture and transfer restrictions and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan and (ii) the requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities or blue sky

 (c) Involuntary Transfer. 

(i) Company’s Right to Purchase upon Involuntary Transfer. In the event, at any time after the date of
this Agreement, of any transfer by operation of law or other involuntary transfer (including death or divorce) of all or a portion of the Shares by the record holder thereof, the Company shall have an option to purchase all of the Shares transferred
at the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of transfer. Upon such a transfer, the person acquiring the Shares shall promptly notify the Secretary of the Company of such transfer. The right to purchase such Shares shall be provided to the
Company for a period of thirty (30) days following receipt by the Company of written notice by the person acquiring the Shares. 
 (ii) Price for Involuntary Transfer. With respect to any stock to be transferred pursuant to Sections 3(a) or 3(c)(i), the Fair Market Value per Share shall be a price set by the Board of
Directors of the Company (the “Board”) in good faith using a reasonable valuation method in a reasonable manner in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. The Company shall notify Purchaser or his or her executor of the price
so determined within thirty (30) days after receipt by it of written notice of the transfer or proposed transfer of Shares. The determination of the Fair Market Value per Share by the Board shall be final and binding on all parties. 

(d) Drag Along Right. 
 (i) If the Required Holder (as defined below) approves the sale of the Company, whether by merger, consolidation, sale of outstanding capital stock, sale of all or substantially all of its assets or
otherwise (any of the foregoing, an “Approved Sale”), (1) Purchaser shall consent to, vote for and raise no objections against, and waive dissenters and appraisal rights (if any) with respect to, the Approved Sale, (2) if the
Approved Sale is structured as a sale of stock, Purchaser shall agree to sell and shall be permitted to sell all of Purchaser’s Shares on the terms and conditions approved by the Required Holder, and (3) if the Approved Sale includes the
sale, exchange, redemption, cancellation or other disposition of securities convertible into or exchangeable for capital stock of the Company, or options, warrants or other rights to purchase such capital stock or securities, Purchaser shall sell,
exchange, redeem, agree to cancel or otherwise dispose of such securities or options, warrants or other rights on the terms and conditions approved by the Required Holder. In order to effect the covenant set forth in clause (1) of the
immediately preceding sentence, Purchaser shall be deemed to have granted to the Company with respect to all of Purchaser’s Shares an irrevocable proxy (which is deemed to be coupled with an interest) with respect to any stockholder vote or
action by written consent solely to effect such Approved Sale in compliance with this Section 3(d). Purchaser shall take all necessary and desirable actions in connection with the consummation of an Approved Sale. As used herein, the term
“Required Holder” means, as of any date, any one or more of the Kaplan Parties. 
 (ii) The obligations
of Purchaser with respect to an Approved Sale are subject to the satisfaction of the conditions that: (1) upon the consummation of the Approved Sale, all of the holders of Common Stock shall receive the same form and amount of consideration per
share of Common Stock, or if any holder of Common Stock is given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received in respect of Common Stock, all holders of Common Stock shall be given the same option; and (2) in the case of
a holder of any securities referred to in clause (3) of paragraph (i) above, (I) in 

  
 8 

			
	Sunshine Silver Mines Corporation Long Term Incentive Plan	  	NQSO Agreement

  

 
the event such securities are vested, the holder shall receive in such Approved Sale, unless otherwise provided in the terms of any agreement or instrument governing or evidencing such security,
either (x) the same securities or other property that such holder would have received if such holder had converted, exchanged or exercised such security immediately prior to such Approved Sale (after taking into account the conversion, exchange
or exercise price applying to such security and any applicable tax obligations of the holder in connection with such conversion, exchange or exercise) or (y) a security convertible or exchangeable for, or option, warrant or right to purchase,
capital stock or other securities of a successor entity having substantially equivalent value, or (II) in the case where such securities are not vested, unless otherwise provided in the terms of any agreement or instrument governing or evidencing
such security, such securities shall be cancelled. 
 (iii) Purchaser shall be required to make substantially the
same representations and warranties (but only to the extent that such representations and warranties relate to Purchaser’s ownership of Shares and his or her authority to execute such documents), customary covenants and other agreements, to the
extent reasonably related to the Approved Sale, as the Required Holder has agreed to make in connection with the proposed Approved Sale. Purchaser acknowledges that his or her pro rata share (based upon the number of Shares owned by such holder) of
the aggregate proceeds of an Approved Sale may be reduced by transaction expenses related to such Approved Sale. Purchaser shall be obligated to join on a pro rata basis in any indemnification or other obligations that the Required Holder agrees to
provide in connection with such Approved Sale; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be obligated in connection with such Approved Sale to agree to indemnify or hold harmless any person with respect to (1) the representations and
warranties of any other holder of Common Stock regarding its ownership of Common Stock or (2) an amount in excess of the net proceeds received by Purchaser in connection with such Approved Sale. 

(e) Clawback of Shares on Termination For Cause. Purchaser acknowledges that in the event of termination of
Purchaser’s Continuous Service status for Cause, the Committee shall have authority to effect such procedures and take such actions as are necessary to carry out the legal intent of Section 10 of the Plan, including such procedures and
actions as are required to cause Purchaser to return to the Company Shares purchased under the Option that have been purchased or that vested within six months of the events giving rise to the for-Cause termination of Purchaser’s Continuous
Service status and, if such Shares have been transferred by Purchaser, to remit to the Company the value of such transferred Shares, also as set forth in Section 10 of the Plan. 

(f) Assignment. The right of the Company to purchase any part of the Shares may be assigned in whole or in part to any
stockholder or stockholders of the Company or other persons or organizations. 
 (g) Restrictions Binding on
Transferees. All transferees of Shares or any interest therein will receive and hold such Shares or interest subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Any sale or transfer of the Company’s Shares shall be void unless the provisions
of this Agreement are satisfied. 

  
 9 

			
	Sunshine Silver Mines Corporation Long Term Incentive Plan	  	NQSO Agreement

  

 (h) Termination of Rights Following Initial Public Offering. The right of
repurchase granted by the Company in Section 3(a) above, the restrictions on transfer provided in Section 3(b) above, the option to repurchase the Shares in the event of an involuntary transfer granted the Company by Section 3(c)
above and the drag-along right provided in Section 3(d) above shall terminate upon the first sale of Common Stock of the Company to the general public pursuant to a registration statement filed with and declared effective by the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Securities Act. Upon termination of the rights to repurchase and the right of first refusal described in Sections 3(a), 3(b), 3(c) and 3(d) above, a new certificate or certificates representing the Shares not
repurchased shall be issued, on request, without the legend referred to in Section 6(a)(ii) herein and delivered to Purchaser. 
 4. Taxation Representations. In connection with the purchase of the Shares, Purchaser represents to the Company the following: 

(a) Purchaser understands that Purchaser may suffer adverse tax consequences as a result of Purchaser’s purchase or disposition of
the Shares. Purchaser represents that Purchaser has consulted any tax consultants Purchaser deems advisable in connection with the purchase or disposition of the Shares and that Purchaser is not relying on the Company for any tax advice. 

(b) Purchaser understands that the per share “Exercise Price” for the Options is intended to be at least equal to the fair
market value of the Company’s Common Stock at the date of grant and that the Company has attempted in good faith to make the fair market value determination in compliance with applicable tax law although there can be no certainty that the IRS
will agree. Purchaser understands that if the IRS does not agree and asserts that the fair market value at the time of grant is higher than the Exercise Price, the IRS could seek to impose greater taxes on Purchaser, including, without limitation,
interest and penalties under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. 
 5. Regulation D Representations. Purchaser
hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Company as of the date hereof: 
 (a) Experience;
Status. 
 (i) Purchaser has experience in analyzing and investing in companies like the Company and is
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company and has the capacity to protect its own interests. To the extent necessary, Purchaser has retained, at its own expense, and relied upon, appropriate professional advice
regarding the investment, tax and legal merits and consequences of the Shares, it being understood that the Company has not retained legal or financial advisors on behalf of Purchaser. 

(ii) Purchaser is an Accredited Investor (as such term is used in Rule 501 under the Securities Act), is able to bear the
economic risk of its investment in the Company and has sufficient net worth to sustain a loss of its entire investment in the Company without economic hardship if such loss should occur. The Questionnaire attached hereto as Annex 1 and completed by
Purchaser is true and correct and incorporated herein by reference. 

  
 10 

			
	Sunshine Silver Mines Corporation Long Term Incentive Plan	  	NQSO Agreement

  

 (b) Access to Company Information. 

(i) Purchaser has had an opportunity to discuss the Company’s business, management and financial affairs with the
members of the Company’s management and has had the opportunity to review the Company’s facilities. Purchaser has also had an opportunity to ask questions of the officers of the Company, which questions were answered to its satisfaction.
Purchaser acknowledges that it is familiar with all aspects of the Company’s business. 
 (ii) Purchaser has
received no representations or warranties from the Company, or its employees, affiliates, attorneys, accountants or agents. 
 (iii) Purchaser understands that an investment in the Company involves numerous risks. 
 (c) Investment Purposes; Rule 144. 
 (i) Purchaser is
acquiring the Shares solely for investment for Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof. Purchaser understands that the Shares have not been
registered under the Securities Act or applicable state and other securities laws by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act and applicable state and other securities laws, the availability of which
depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of Purchaser’s representations as expressed herein. Purchaser understands that the Company is relying, in part, upon the representations and
warranties contained in this agreement for the purpose of determining whether this transaction meets the requirements for such exemptions. 
 (ii) Purchaser acknowledges and understands that Purchaser must bear the economic risk of Purchaser’s investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time because the Shares are not transferable
except in very limited circumstances and must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and applicable state and other securities laws or unless an exemption from such registration is available. Purchaser
understands that the Company has not agreed to and does not plan to file a registration statement to register the resale of the Shares and any securities to be received in respect thereof under the Securities Act. 

(iii) Purchaser is aware of the current provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act which permit resale of
securities purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among other things, the availability of certain current public information about the issuer of the securities and the resale occurring not less
than one year after a party has purchased from an issuer or its affiliate and paid the full purchase price for the securities to be sold. Purchaser understands that if the Company otherwise agrees to a transfer of the Shares,

  
 11 

			
	Sunshine Silver Mines Corporation Long Term Incentive Plan	  	NQSO Agreement

  

 
the Company will not transfer and any transfer agent of the Company will be issued stop-transfer instructions with respect to such Shares unless such transfer is subsequently registered under the
Securities Act and applicable state and other securities laws or unless an exemption from such registration is available. 
 6.
Restrictive Legends and Stop-Transfer Orders. 
 (a) Legends. The certificate or certificates
representing the Shares shall bear the following legends (as well as any legends required by applicable state and federal corporate and securities laws): 
 (i) THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH,
THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH TRANSFER MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED OR UNDER ANOTHER EXEMPTION AVAILABLE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. 

(ii) THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF AN AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE STOCKHOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY. 
 (b)
Stop-Transfer Notices. Purchaser agrees that, in order to ensure compliance with the restrictions referred to herein, the Company may issue appropriate “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and
that, if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records. 

(c) Refusal to Transfer. The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold
or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Shares shall have been
so transferred. 
 7. No Employment Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect in any manner whatsoever the
right or power of the Company, or a parent or subsidiary of the Company, to terminate Purchaser’s employment or consulting relationship, for any reason, with or without Cause. 

8. Lock-Up Agreement. In connection with the initial public offering of the Company’s securities and upon request of
the Company or the underwriters managing any underwritten offering of the Company’s securities, Purchaser agrees not to lend, offer, pledge, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to transfer, purchase any option or contract to sell,
grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer, directly or indirectly, any 

  
 12 

			
	Sunshine Silver Mines Corporation Long Term Incentive Plan	  	NQSO Agreement

  

 
securities of the Company owned immediately before the effective date of the registration statement for such offering (other than a sale of any securities of the Company to an underwriter
pursuant to an underwriting agreement if all officers, directors and stockholders of more than five percent of the Company’s outstanding equity securities are subject to the same restrictions) without the prior written consent of the Company or
such underwriters for such period of time (not to exceed 180 days, which period may be extended upon the request of the managing underwriter for an additional period of up to 15 days if the Company issues or proposes to issue an earnings or other
public release within 15 days of the expiration of the 180 day lock-up period) from the effective date of such registration and to execute an agreement as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the underwriters in connection with such
registration and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide, within five business days of a request, such information as may be required by the Company or the underwriters in connection with the completion of the initial public offering
of the Company’s securities. 
 9. Tax Consequences. Purchaser should obtain advice from an appropriate
independent professional adviser with respect to the taxation implications of the grant, issuance, purchase, retention, assignment, release, cancellation, sale or any other disposal of the Shares (each, a “Trigger Event”). Purchaser
should also take advice in respect of the taxation indemnity provisions under Section 10 below. 
 10.
Purchaser’s Taxation Indemnity. 
 (a) To the extent permitted by law, Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify
and keep indemnified the Company and the Company as trustee for and on behalf of any affiliate entity, in respect of any liability or obligation of the Company and/or any affiliate entity to account for income tax or any other taxation provisions
under the laws of Purchaser’s country of citizenship and/or residence to the extent arising from a Trigger Event. 
 (b)
The Company shall not be obliged to allot and issue any of the Shares or any interest in the Shares unless and until Purchaser has paid to the Company such sum as is, in the opinion of the Company, sufficient to indemnify the Company in full against
any liability the Company has for any amount of, or representing, income tax or any other tax arising from a Trigger Event (the “Shares Tax Liability”), or Purchaser has made such other arrangement as in the opinion of the Company
will ensure that the full amount of any Shares Tax Liability will be recovered from Purchaser within such period as the Company may then determine. 
 11. Data Protection. 
 (a) To facilitate the administration of the
Plan and this Agreement, it will be necessary for the Company (or its payroll administrators) to collect, hold and process certain personal information about Purchaser and to transfer this data to certain third parties such as brokers with whom
Purchaser may elect to deposit any share capital under the Plan. Purchaser consents to the Company (or its payroll administrators) collecting, holding and processing Purchaser’s personal data and transferring this data to the Company or any
other third parties insofar as is reasonably necessary to implement, administer and manage the Plan. 

  
 13 

			
	Sunshine Silver Mines Corporation Long Term Incentive Plan	  	NQSO Agreement

  

 (b) Purchaser understands that Purchaser may, at any time, view Purchaser’s
personal data, require any necessary corrections to it or withdraw the consents herein in writing by contacting the Company, but acknowledges that without the use of such data it may not be practicable for the Company to administer Purchaser’s
involvement in the Plan in a timely fashion or at all and this may be detrimental to Purchaser. 
 12.
Miscellaneous. 
 (a) Governing Law. This Agreement and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto
and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York (including Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York but otherwise without
regard to conflicts of Laws principles). 
 (b) Dispute Resolution and Arbitration. The Company and Purchaser
shall attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement promptly by negotiation. If the matter has not been resolved within thirty (30) calendar days of a party’s request for negotiation, either
party may initiate proceedings or arbitration only as provided herein. If any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination or validity thereof has not been resolved by negotiation, such dispute shall be settled by
binding arbitration in accordance with the then current rules of JAMS by a single independent and impartial arbitrator who is located in Denver, Colorado. The arbitrator selected must have an expertise in the matter(s) in dispute. Each party shall
bear his/her/its own fees and costs; the fees, costs and all administrative expenses of arbitration shall be borne equally by the Company and Purchaser. The parties understand and agree that the arbitration is subject to the rules of JAMS; that the
arbitrator’s decision and award shall be final and binding as to all claims that were, or could have been, raised in arbitration; and that judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having competent
jurisdiction. Any award rendered hereunder may include an award of attorneys’ fees and costs but shall not include punitive damages. The statute of limitations of the state of New York applicable to the commencement of a lawsuit shall apply to
the commencement of an arbitration. 
 (c) Entire Agreement; Enforcement of Rights. This Agreement, the Option
Agreement and the Plan set forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter herein and merges all prior discussions between them. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any
rights under this Agreement, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the parties to this Agreement. The failure by either party to enforce any rights under this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any rights of such party.

 (d) Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable
law, the parties agree to renegotiate such provision in good faith. In the event that the parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement for such provision, then (i) such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement,
(ii) the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and (iii) the balance of the Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

 Annex 1 
 QUESTIONNAIRE 
 The undersigned represents and warrants that it comes within each
category marked below, and that for any category marked, it has truthfully set forth the factual basis or reason the undersigned comes within that category. The undersigned agrees to furnish any additional information which Sunshine Silver Mines
Corporation (the “Company”) deems necessary in order to verify the answers set forth below. 
  

	 ̈        (a)	The undersigned is an individual (not a partnership, corporation, etc.) whose individual net worth, or joint net worth with its spouse, presently exceeds $1,000,000.

  

	    	Explanation. In calculating net worth you may include equity in personal property and real estate (other than your primary residence) cash, short-term
investments, stock and securities. Equity in personal property and real estate should be based on the fair market value of such property less debt secured by such property. You must exclude from the calculation the value of your primary residence,

	 ̈        (b)	The undersigned is an individual (not a partnership, corporation, etc.) who had an income in excess of $200,000 in each of the two most recent years, or joint income
with their spouse in excess of $300,000 in each of those years (in each case including foreign income, tax exempt income and full amount of capital gains and loses but excluding any income of other family members and any unrealized capital
appreciation) and has a reasonable expectation of reaching the same income level in the current year. 

  

	 ̈        (c)	The undersigned is a director or executive officer of the Company, which is issuing the Shares. 

 

	 ̈        (d)	The undersigned is not within any of the categories above and is therefore a nonaccredited investor. 

THE UNDERSIGNED IS INFORMED OF THE SIGNIFICANCE TO THE COMPANY OF THE FOREGOING REPRESENTATIONS, AND THEY ARE MADE WITH THE INTENTION THAT THE COMPANY
WILL RELY ON THEM. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed the Questionnaire on
