Securities of any one Series need not be issued at the same time and may be issued from time to time, consistent with the terms of this
Indenture, if so provided by or pursuant to the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officer’s Certificate referred
to above.

 

Section 2.3.        
Execution and Authentication.

 

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

 

If
an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Security is authenticated, the Security shall
nevertheless be valid.

 

A
Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent. The signature shall
be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture.

 

The
Trustee shall at any time, and from time to time, authenticate Securities for original issue in the principal amount provided in the Board
Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officer’s Certificate, upon receipt by the Trustee of a Company Order. Each Security
shall be dated the date of its authentication.

 

The
aggregate principal amount of Securities of any Series outstanding at any time may not exceed any limit upon the maximum principal amount
for such Series set forth in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to
Section 2.2, except as provided in Section 2.8.

 

Prior
to the issuance of Securities of any Series, the Trustee shall have received and (subject to Section 7.2) shall be fully protected
in relying on: (a) the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officer’s Certificate establishing the form of the
Securities of that Series or of Securities within that Series and the terms of the Securities of that Series or of Securities within
that Series, (b) an Officer’s Certificate complying with Sections 10.4 and 10.5, and (c) an Opinion of Counsel complying with
Sections 10.4 and 10.5.

 

    8

     

    

 

The
Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities of such Series: (a) if the Trustee, being advised by
counsel, determines that such action may not be taken lawfully; or (b) if the Trustee in good faith determines that such action may expose
the Trustee to personal liability.

 

The
Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities. An authenticating agent may authenticate
Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by
such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company.

 

Section 2.4.        
Registrar, Paying Agent and Notice Agent.

 

The
Company shall maintain, with respect to each Series of Securities, at the place or places specified with respect to such Series pursuant
to Section 2.2, an office or agency where Securities of such Series may be presented or surrendered for payment (“Paying Agent”),
where Securities of such Series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange (“Registrar”) and where
notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of such Series and this Indenture may be delivered (“Notice
Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register with respect to each Series of Securities and to their transfer and exchange. The
Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the name and address, and any change in the name or address, of each Registrar,
Paying Agent or Notice Agent. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required Registrar, Paying Agent or Notice Agent
or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the name and address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made
or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations,
surrenders, notices and demands; provided, however, that any appointment of the Trustee as the Notice Agent shall exclude
the appointment of the Trustee or any office of the Trustee as an agent to receive the service of legal process on the Company.

 

The
Company may also from time to time designate one or more co-registrars, additional paying agents or additional notice agents and may from
time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve
the Company of its obligations to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent and Notice Agent in each place so specified pursuant to Section 2.2
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 name or address of any such co-registrar, additional paying agent or additional notice agent. The
term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar; the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying
agent; and the term “Notice Agent” includes any additional notice agent. The Company or any of its Affiliates may serve
as Registrar or Paying Agent.

 

The
Company hereby appoints the Trustee the initial Registrar, Paying Agent and Notice Agent for each Series unless another Registrar,
Paying Agent or Notice Agent, as the case may be, is appointed prior to the time Securities of that Series are first issued. The
rights, powers, duties, obligations and actions of each Agent under this Indenture are several and not joint or joint and several,
and the Agents shall only be obliged to perform those duties expressly set out in this Indenture and shall have no implied
duties.

 

    9

     

    

 

Section 2.5.        
Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

 

The
Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust, for the benefit
of Holders of any Series of Securities or the Trustee, all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest
on the Series of Securities and will notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While any
such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may
require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the
Company or a Subsidiary of the Company) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company acts
as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of Holders of any Series of Securities all money
held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding with respect to the Company, the Trustee shall serve
as Paying Agent for the Securities. For the avoidance of doubt, a Paying Agent and the Trustee shall be held harmless and have no liability
with respect to payments or disbursements (including to the Holders) until they have confirmed receipt of funds sufficient to make the
relevant payment. No money held by an Agent needs to be segregated except as is required by law.

 

Section 2.6.        
Holder Lists.

 

If
it is serving as Registrar, the Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available
to it of the names and addresses of Holders of each Series of Securities and shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee
is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least ten days before each interest payment date and at such other times
as the Trustee may request in writing a list, in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and
addresses of Holders of each Series of Securities.

 

Every
Holder, by receiving and holding Securities, agrees with the Company and the Trustee that neither the Company nor the Trustee or any agent
of either of them shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Holders
in accordance with TIA § 312, regardless of the source from which such information was derived, and that the Trustee shall not
be held accountable by reason of mailing any material pursuant to a request made under TIA § 312(b).

 

    10

     

    

 

Section 2.7.        
Transfer and Exchange.

 

Where
Securities of a Series are presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer or to exchange them
for an equal principal amount of Securities of the same Series, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange if
its requirements for such transactions are met. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Trustee shall authenticate
Securities at the Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange (except as
otherwise expressly permitted herein), but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar
governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable upon
exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.11, 3.6 or 9.6).

 

Neither
the Company nor the Registrar shall be required (a) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any Series for the period
beginning at the opening of business 15 days immediately preceding the sending of a notice of redemption of Securities of that Series
selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day such notice is sent, (b) to register the transfer of or exchange
Securities of any Series selected, called or being called for redemption as a whole or the portion being redeemed of any such Securities
selected, called or being called for redemption in part or (c) to register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any Series between
a record date and payment date for such Series of Securities.

 

Section 2.8.        
Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

 

If
any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange
therefor a new Security of the same Series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

 

If
there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security
and (ii) such security or indemnity bond as may be required by each of them to hold itself and any of its agents harmless, then, in the
absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute
and upon receipt of a Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost
or stolen Security, a new Security of the same Series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding.

 

In
case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion
may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security.

 

Upon
the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected
therewith.

 

Every
new Security of any Series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original
additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable
by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of
that Series duly issued hereunder.

 

The
provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement
or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.

 

    11

     

    

 

Section 2.9.        
Outstanding Securities.

 

The
Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered
to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest on a Global Security effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions
hereof and those described in this Section as not outstanding.

 

If
a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.8, it ceases to be outstanding until the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the
replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser.

 

If
the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) holds on the Maturity of Securities
of a Series money sufficient to pay such Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities of the Series cease
to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

 

The
Company may purchase or otherwise acquire the Securities, whether by open market purchases, negotiated transactions or otherwise. A Security
does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Security (but see Section 2.10 below).

 

In
determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Securities have given any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, the principal amount of a Discount Security that shall be deemed to be outstanding for
such purposes shall be the amount of the principal thereof that would be due and payable as of the date of such determination upon a declaration
of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.2.

 

Section 2.10.    
Treasury Securities.

 

In
determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities of a Series have concurred in any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent or waiver, Securities of a Series owned by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company shall be disregarded,
except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent or waiver only Securities of a Series that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned shall be
so disregarded.

 

Section 2.11.    
Temporary Securities.

 

Until
definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities upon a
Company Order. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the
Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee upon
receipt of a Company Order shall authenticate definitive Securities of the same Series and date of maturity in exchange for
temporary Securities. Until so exchanged, temporary securities shall have the same rights under this Indenture as the definitive
Securities.

 

    12

     

    

 

Section 2.12.    
Cancellation.

 

The
Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee
any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Securities surrendered
for transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall destroy such canceled Securities (subject to the record retention
requirements of the Exchange Act and the Trustee) and deliver a certificate of such cancellation to the Company upon written request of
the Company. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

 

Section 2.13.    
Defaulted Interest.

 

If
the Company defaults in a payment of interest on a Series of Securities, it shall pay the defaulted interest, plus, to the extent permitted
by law, any interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the persons who are Holders of the Series on a subsequent special record date.
The Company shall fix the record date and payment date. At least ten days before the special record date, the Company shall send to the
Trustee and to each Holder of the Series a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of interest to
be paid. The Company may pay defaulted interest in any other lawful manner.

 

Section 2.14.    
Global Securities.

 

2.14.1.         
Terms of Securities. A Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer’s Certificate shall establish
whether the Securities of a Series shall be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities and the Depositary
for such Global Security or Securities.

 

2.14.2.         
Transfer and Exchange. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in Section 2.7 of the Indenture and in addition
thereto, any Global Security shall be exchangeable pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Indenture for Securities registered in the names of
Holders other than the Depositary for such Security or its nominee only if (i) such Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling
or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or if at any time such Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered
under the Exchange Act, and, in either case, the Company fails to appoint a successor Depositary registered as a clearing agency under
the Exchange Act within 90 days of such event or (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate
to the effect that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable. Any Global Security that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence
shall be exchangeable for Securities registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct in writing in an aggregate principal amount
equal to the principal amount of the Global Security with like tenor and terms.

 

Except
as provided in this Section 2.14.2, a Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary with respect to
such Global Security to a nominee of such Depositary, by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such
Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such a successor Depositary.

 

    13

     

    

 

None
of the Trustee or any Agent shall have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions
on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Security (including
any transfers between or among Depositary participants, members or beneficial owners in any Global Security) other than to require delivery
of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by
the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

 

None
of the Trustee or any Agent shall have any responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Security, a member of, or
a participant in the Depositary or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any
participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in any Security or with respect to the delivery to any participant,
member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of optional redemption) or the
payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Security.

 

2.14.3.         
Legends. Any Global Security issued hereunder shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

 

“THIS
SECURITY IS A GLOBAL SECURITY WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE INDENTURE HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AND IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF THE DEPOSITARY
OR A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY. THIS SECURITY IS EXCHANGEABLE FOR SECURITIES REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A PERSON OTHER THAN THE DEPOSITARY
OR ITS NOMINEE ONLY IN THE LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED IN THE INDENTURE, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITARY
TO A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY, BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY THE DEPOSITARY
OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY.”

 

In
addition, so long as the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) is the Depositary, each Global Security registered in the name of
DTC or its nominee shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

 

“UNLESS
THIS GLOBAL SECURITY IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY, A NEW YORK CORPORATION
(“DTC”), TO THE COMPANY OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY GLOBAL SECURITY ISSUED
IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY
PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER,
PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE
 & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.”

 

    14

     

    

 

2.14.4.         
Acts of Holders. The Depositary, as a Holder, may appoint agents and otherwise authorize participants to give or take any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action which a Holder is entitled to give or take under the
Indenture.

 

2.14.5.         
Payments. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Indenture, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section
2.2, payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on any Global Security shall be made to the Holder thereof.

 

2.14.6.         
Agent Members. The registered Holder of a Security will be treated as the owner of such Security for all purposes and only
registered Holders shall have rights under this Indenture and the Securities. Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent
Members”) and persons who hold beneficial interests in a Global Security through an Agent Member shall have no rights under
this Indenture with respect to any Global Security held on their behalf by the Depositary. The Depositary may be treated by the Company,
the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and any agent of the foregoing as the absolute owner of the Global Securities for all purposes
whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar or any
agent of the foregoing from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair,
as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of such Depositary governing the exercise of the
rights of a Holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Security.

 

Section 2.15.    
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 elements of identification printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected
by any defect in or omission of such numbers.

 

ARTICLE
III.

REDEMPTION

 

Section 3.1.        
Notice to Trustee.

 

The
Company may, with respect to any Series of Securities, reserve the right to redeem and pay the Series of Securities or may covenant
to redeem and pay the Series of Securities or any part thereof prior to the Stated Maturity thereof at such time and on such terms
as provided for in such Securities. If a Series of Securities is redeemable and the Company wants or is obligated to redeem prior to
the Stated Maturity thereof all or part of the Series of Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, it shall notify the
Trustee in writing of the redemption date and the principal amount of the Series of Securities to be redeemed. The Company shall
give the notice at least 15 days before the redemption date (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to the Trustee).

 

    15

     

    

 

Section 3.2.        
Selection of Securities to be Redeemed.

 

Unless
otherwise indicated for a particular Series by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer’s Certificate,
if less than all the Securities of a Series are to be redeemed, the Securities of the Series to be redeemed will be selected as follows:
(a) if the Securities are in the form of Global Securities, in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary, (b) if the Securities
are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if
any, on which the Securities are listed or (c) if not otherwise provided for under clause (a) or (b) in the manner that the Trustee deems
fair and appropriate, including by lot or other method, unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange requirements, subject,
in the case of Global Securities, to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. The Securities to be redeemed shall be selected
from Securities of the Series outstanding not previously called for redemption. Portions of the principal of Securities of the Series
that have denominations larger than $1,000 may be selected for redemption. Securities of the Series and portions of them it selected for
redemption shall be in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 or, with respect to Securities of any Series issuable in other denominations
pursuant to Section 2.2.10, the minimum principal denomination for each Series and the authorized integral multiples thereof. Provisions
of this Indenture that apply to Securities of a Series called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities of that Series called
for redemption. Neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall be liable for any selection made by it in accordance with this paragraph
(including the procedures of the Depositary).

 

Section 3.3.        
Notice of Redemption.

 

Unless
otherwise indicated for a particular Series by Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer’s Certificate, at
least 15 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company shall send or cause to be sent by first-class mail or electronically,
in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed.

 

The
notice shall identify the Securities of the Series to be redeemed and shall state:

 

(a)           
the redemption date;

 

(b)           
the redemption price;

 

(c)           
the name and address of the Paying Agent;

 

(d)           
if any Securities are being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Securities to be redeemed and that, after
the redemption date and upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion
of the original Security shall be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Security;

 

    16

     

    

 

(e)           
 that Securities of the Series called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;

 

(f)            
that interest on Securities of the Series called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date unless the Company
defaults in the deposit of the redemption price;

 

(g)           
the “CUSIP” number, if any; and

 

(h)           
any other information as may be required by the terms of the particular Series or the Securities of a Series being redeemed.

 

At
the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense, provided,
however, that the Company has delivered to the Trustee, at least 10 days (unless a shorter time shall be acceptable to the Trustee) prior
to the notice date, an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be
stated in such notice and the form of such notice.

 

Section 3.4.        
Effect of Notice of Redemption.

 

Once
notice of redemption is sent as provided in Section 3.3, Securities of a Series called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption
date and at the redemption price. Except as otherwise provided in the supplemental indenture, Board Resolution or Officer’s Certificate
for a Series, a notice of redemption may not be conditional. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the
redemption price plus accrued interest to the redemption date.

 

Section 3.5.        
Deposit of Redemption Price.

 

On
or before 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent money sufficient to
pay the redemption price of and accrued interest, if any, on all Securities to be redeemed on that date.

 

Section 3.6.        
Securities Redeemed in Part.

 

Upon
surrender of a Security that is redeemed in part, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder a new Security of the same Series and
the same maturity equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered.

Section 4.1.

Indenture. On or before 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the applicable payment date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying

Section 4.2.        
SEC Reports.

 

To
the extent any Securities of a Series are outstanding, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 15 days after it files them with
the SEC copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing
as the SEC may by rules and regulations prescribe) which the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d)
of the Exchange Act. The Company also shall comply with the other provisions of TIA § 314(a). Reports, information and documents
filed with the SEC via the EDGAR system will be deemed to be delivered to the Trustee as of the time of such filing via EDGAR for purposes
of this Section 4.2.

 

Delivery
of reports, information and documents to the Trustee under this Section 4.2 is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s
receipt of the foregoing shall not constitute constructive or actual notice of any information contained therein or determinable from
information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of the covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is
entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates). All such reports, information or documents referred to in this Section
4.2 that the Company files with the SEC via the SEC’s EDGAR system shall be deemed to be filed with the Trustee and transmitted
to Holders at the time such reports, information or documents are filed via the EDGAR system (or any successor system).

 

Section 4.3.        
Compliance Certificate.

 

To
the extent any Securities of a Series are outstanding, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each
fiscal year of the Company, an Officer’s Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries
during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officer with a view to determining whether the Company
has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to such Officer signing such
certificate, that to the best of his/her knowledge the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained
in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions hereof (or, if
a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which the Officer may have knowledge).

 

Section 4.4.        
Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.

 

The
Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead or in any manner
whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time
hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture or the Securities; and the Company (to the
extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not, by
resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit
the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

The
Company shall not consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its properties and
assets to, any person (a “successor person”) unless:

 

(a)           
the Company is the surviving entity or the successor person (if other than the Company) is a corporation, partnership, trust or
other entity organized and validly existing under the laws of any U.S. domestic jurisdiction and expressly assumes by supplemental indenture
the Company’s obligations on the Securities and under this Indenture; and

 

(b)           
immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no Default or Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing.

 

The
Company shall deliver to the Trustee prior to the consummation of the proposed transaction an Officer’s Certificate to the foregoing
effect and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the proposed transaction and any supplemental indenture comply with this Indenture.

 

Notwithstanding
the above, any Subsidiary of the Company may consolidate with, merge into or transfer all or part of its properties to the Company. Neither
an Officer’s Certificate nor an Opinion of Counsel shall be required to be delivered in connection therewith.

 

Section 5.2.        
Successor Corporation Substituted.

 

Upon
any consolidation or merger, or any sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company
in accordance with Section 5.1, the successor corporation formed by such consolidation or into or with which the Company is merged or
to which such sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right
and power of, the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor person has been named as the Company herein;
provided, however, that the predecessor Company in the case of a sale, conveyance or other disposition (other than a lease)
shall be released from all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Securities.

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

 

Section 6.1.        
Events of Default.

 

“Event
of Default,” wherever used herein with respect to Securities of any Series, means any one of the following events, unless
in the establishing Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officer’s Certificate it is provided that such Series shall
not have the benefit of said Event of Default:

 

(a)           
default in the payment of any interest on any Security of that Series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such
default for a period of 30 days (unless the entire amount of such payment is deposited by the Company with the Trustee or with a Paying
Agent prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the 30th day of such period);

 

(b)           
default in the payment of principal of any Security of that Series at its Maturity;

 

(c)

to paragraph (a) or (b) above or pursuant to a covenant or warranty that has been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of
a Series of Securities other than that Series), which default continues uncured for a period of 60 days after there has been given, by
registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal
amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied
and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder;

 

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

 

(i)                
commences a voluntary case,

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(v)              
generally is unable to pay its debts as the same become due;

 

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

 

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

 

(ii)             
appoints a Custodian of the Company or for all or substantially all of its property, or

 

(iii)

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

 

    20

     

    

 

(f)            
 any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that Series, which is specified in a Board Resolution, a supplemental
indenture hereto or an Officer’s Certificate, in accordance with Section 2.2.18.

 

The
term “Bankruptcy Law” means title 11, U.S. Code or any similar Federal or State law for the relief of debtors. The
term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

 

The
Company will provide the Trustee written notice of any Default or Event of Default within 30 days of becoming aware of the occurrence
of such Default or Event of Default, which notice will describe in reasonable detail the status of such Default or Event of Default and
what action the Company is taking or proposes to take in respect thereof.

 

Section 6.2.        
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 (other than an Event of
Default referred to in Section 6.1(d) or (e)) then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount
of the outstanding Securities of that Series may declare the principal amount (or, if any Securities of that Series are Discount Securities,
such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such Securities) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any,
on all of 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 Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) and accrued and unpaid interest, if any,
shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(d) or (e) shall occur, the principal amount
(or specified amount) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding Securities shall ipso facto become and be
immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

 

At
any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to 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 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 all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that Series, other than the non-payment of the principal and
interest, if any, of Securities of that Series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived
as provided in Section 6.13.

 

No
such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

Section 6.3.        
Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

 

The
Company covenants that if:

 

(a)           
default is made in the payment of any interest on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues
for a period of 30 days,

 

    21

     

    

 

(b)           
 default is made in the payment of principal of any Security at the Maturity thereof, or

 

(c)           
default is made in the deposit of any sinking fund payment, if any, when and as due by the terms of a Security,

 

then, the
Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and
payable on such Securities for principal and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest
on any overdue principal and any overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto,
such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the compensation, reasonable 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, 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 deemed 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 any Securities of any Series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee, subject to Article VII hereof,
may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such Series 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 6.4.        
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 overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,

 

(a)           
to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities 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
compensation, reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such
judicial proceeding, and

 

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

 

    22

     

    

 

and any custodian,
receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly
to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the compensation, reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee,
its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7.

 

Nothing
herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan
of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize
the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

 

Section 6.5.        
Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities.

 

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

 

Section 6.6.        
Application of Money Collected.

 

Any
money or property collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed
by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money or property on account of principal or interest, upon presentation of the
Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

 

First:To
the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7; and

 

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

 

Third:To
the Company.

 

Section 6.7.        
Limitation on Suits.

 

No
Holder of any Security of any Series 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

 

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

 

    23

     

    

 

(b)           
 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;

 

(c)           
such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses
and liabilities which might be incurred by the Trustee in compliance with such request;

 

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

 

(e)           
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 that Series;

 

it being understood,
intended and expressly covenanted by the Holder of every Security with every other Holder and the Trustee 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 to affect, disturb
or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such
Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all
such Holders of the applicable Series.

 

Section 6.8.        
Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal and Interest.

 

Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive
payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on such Security on the Maturity of such Security, including the Stated Maturity expressed
in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the redemption date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment,
and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

 

Section 6.9.        
Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

 

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

 

Section 6.10.    
Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

 

Except
as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in Section 2.8,
no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right
or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and
remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or
remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not, to the extent permitted by law, prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any
other appropriate right or remedy.

 

    24

     

    

 

Section 6.11.    
Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

 

No
delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities 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 may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed
expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

 

Section 6.12.    
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, provided that

 

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

 

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

 

(c)           
subject to the provisions of Section 7.1, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee
in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal
liability, and

 

(d)           
prior to taking any action as directed under this Section 6.12, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnity satisfactory to it against
the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

 

Section 6.13.    
Waiver of Past Defaults.

 

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, by written notice to the Trustee and the Company, waive any past Default hereunder with respect to such
Series and its consequences, except a Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security of such Series (provided,
however, that the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series may rescind an acceleration and
its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration). Upon any such waiver, such Default shall
cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but
no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

    25

     

    

 

Section 6.14.    
Undertaking for Costs.

 

All
parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court
may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the
Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to
pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees,
against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant;
but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any
suit instituted by any Holder or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities
of any Series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security
on or after the Maturity of such Security, including the Stated Maturity expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on
the redemption date).

Section 7.1.        
Duties of Trustee.

 

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

 

(b)           
Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

 

(i)                
The Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants
or obligations will be read into this Indenture against the Trustee.

 

(ii)             
In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness
of the opinions expressed therein, upon Officer’s Certificates or Opinions of Counsel furnished to the Trustee and conforming to
the requirements of this Indenture; however, in the case of any such Officer’s Certificates or Opinions of Counsel which
by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine such Officer’s Certificates
and Opinions of Counsel to determine whether or not they conform to the form requirements of this Indenture.

 

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

This paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section.

 

    26

The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it with respect to Securities
of any Series in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities
of such Series relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising
any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such Series in accordance with Section
6.12.

Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraph (a), (b) and (c) of this Section.

(f)            
The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company.
Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

 

(g)           
No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if adequate indemnity against such risk is not assured
to the Trustee in its satisfaction.

 

(h)           
The Paying Agent, the Notice Agent, the Registrar, any authenticating agent and the Trustee when acting in any other capacity hereunder

facsimile form) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person. The Trustee need not investigate
any fact or matter stated in the document.

 

(b)           
Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both.

its rights or powers.

The Trustee may consult with counsel and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization
and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

 

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

 

(g)           
The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,

paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it
may see fit.

 

(h)           
The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has
actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by a Responsible Officer at
the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Securities generally or the Securities of a particular Series
and this Indenture.

 

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

 

(j)             
The permissive right of the Trustee to take the actions permitted by this Indenture shall not be construed as an obligation or
duty to do so.

 

(k)           
The Trustee will not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the execution of this Indenture or otherwise.

 

Section 7.3.        
Individual Rights of Trustee.

 

The
Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company
or an Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights.
The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11.

 

    28

     

    

 

Section 7.4.

Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities. The Trustee shall not be accountable
for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Securities and shall not be responsible for any statement in the Securities other
than its certificate of authentication.

 

Section 7.5.        
Notice of Defaults.

 

If
a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Securities of any Series and if it is known to a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall send to each Holder of the Securities of that Series notice of a Default or Event of Default
within 90 days after it occurs or, if later, after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has knowledge of such Default or Event of Default.
Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Security of any Series, the Trustee
may withhold the notice if and so long as its corporate trust committee or a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines
that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders of that Series. The Trustee will not be deemed to have notice or be charged
with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless written notice thereof has been received by a Responsible Officer, and such notice
references the applicable Series of Securities and this Indenture and states on its face that a Default or Event of Default has occurred.

 

Section 7.6.        
Reports by Trustee to Holders.

 

Within
60 days after each anniversary of the date of this Indenture, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders, as their names and addresses
appear on the register kept by the Registrar, a brief report dated as of such anniversary date, in accordance with, and to the extent
required under, TIA § 313.

 

A
copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders of any Series shall be filed with the SEC and each national securities exchange

are listed on any national securities exchange.

Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time compensation for its services as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time
agree upon in writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust.
The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it. Such expenses shall include
the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

 

The
Company shall indemnify each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee (including for the cost of defending itself) against any
cost, expense or liability, including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee)
incurred by it except as set forth in the next paragraph in the performance of its duties under this Indenture as Trustee or Agent.
The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the
Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder, unless and to the extent that the Company is materially
prejudiced thereby. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate
counsel, and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement
made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. This indemnification shall apply to officers, directors,
employees, shareholders and agents of the Trustee.

 

    29

     

    

 

The
Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee or by any officer, director,
employee, shareholder or agent of the Trustee through willful misconduct or negligence, as determined by a final decision of a court of
competent jurisdiction.

 

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

 

When
the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(d) or (e) occurs, the expenses and
the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

 

The
provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

 

Section 7.8.        
Replacement of Trustee.

 

A
resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s
acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section.

 

The
Trustee may resign with respect to the Securities of one or more Series by so notifying the Company at least 30 days prior to the date
of the proposed resignation. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any Series may remove the Trustee with
respect to that Series by so notifying the Trustee and the Company. The Company may remove the Trustee with respect to Securities of one
or more Series if:

 

(a)           
the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;

 

(b)           
the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy
Law;

 

(c)           
a Custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

 

(d)           
the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

 

If
the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint
a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
then outstanding Securities may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

 

    30

     

    

 

If
a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any one or more Series does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee
resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Securities of
the applicable Series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

 

A
successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Immediately after
that, the retiring Trustee shall transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee subject to the lien provided for
in Section 7.7, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the
rights, powers and duties of the Trustee with respect to each Series of Securities for which it is acting as Trustee under this Indenture.
A successor Trustee shall send a notice of its succession to each Holder of each such Series. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee
pursuant to this Section 7.8, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.7 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring
Trustee with respect to expenses and liabilities incurred by it for actions taken or omitted to be taken in accordance with its rights,
powers and duties under this Indenture prior to such replacement.

 

Section 7.9.        
Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc.

 

Any
organization or entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any organization or
entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any organization or entity succeeding
to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided
such organization or entity shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under Section 7.10, without the execution or filing of any paper
or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

 

Section 7.10.    
Eligibility; Disqualification.

 

This
Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA § 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee shall always have
a combined capital and surplus of at least $25,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee
shall comply with TIA § 310(b).

 

Section 7.11.    
Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

 

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

amount in cash, sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants or investment bank expressed
in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge each installment of principal of and interest, on and

on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit, defeasance and
discharge had not occurred;

 

    34

     

    

 

(h)           
the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company
with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other creditors of the Company; and

 

(i)             
the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all

Section 8.4.        
Covenant Defeasance.

 

Unless
this Section 8.4 is otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.2 to be inapplicable to Securities of any Series, the Company may omit to

and, unless otherwise specified therein, any additional covenants specified in a supplemental indenture for such Series of Securities
or a Board Resolution or an Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2 (and the failure to comply with any such covenants
shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to such Series under Section 6.1) and the occurrence of any event specified
in a supplemental indenture for such Series of Securities or a Board Resolution or an Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to
Section 2.2 and designated as an Event of Default shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default hereunder, with respect to the Securities
of such Series, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities will be unaffected thereby; provided
that the following conditions shall have been satisfied:

 

(a)

Dollars, cash in Dollars and/or U.S. Government Obligations or (ii) in the case of Securities of such Series denominated in a Foreign
Currency (other than a composite currency), money and/or Foreign Government Obligations, which through the payment of interest and principal
in respect thereof in accordance with their terms, will provide (and without reinvestment and assuming no tax liability will be imposed
on such Trustee), not later than one day before the due date of any payment of money, an amount in cash, sufficient, in the opinion of
a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants or investment bank expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge each installment of principal (including mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments)
of and interest on all the Securities of such Series on the dates such installments of principal or interest are due;

or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound;

 

    35

     

    

 

(c)

of such deposit;

 

(d)           
the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the
Holders of the Securities of such Series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit
and covenant defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would
have been the case if such deposit and covenant defeasance had not occurred;

the payment of principal and interest that remains unclaimed for two years. After that, Holders entitled to the money must look to the
Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another person.

 

Section 8.6.        
Reinstatement.

 

If
the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money deposited with respect to Securities of any Series in accordance with Section
8.1 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining
or otherwise prohibiting such application, the obligations of the Company under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such
Series and under the Securities of such Series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.1
until such time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.1; provided,
however, that if the Company has made any payment of principal of or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any
Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities
to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent after payment in full to the
Holders.

to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one

administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee; or

 

(k)           
to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA.

 

Section 9.2.        
With Consent of Holders.

 

Subject
to Section 9.3, the Company and the Trustee may enter into a supplemental indenture with the written consent of the Holders of at least
a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of each Series affected by such supplemental indenture (including consents
obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Securities of such Series), for the purpose of adding any provisions
to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in
any manner the rights of the Holders of each such Series. Except as provided in Section 6.13, and subject to Section 9.3, the Holders
of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series by notice to the Trustee (including consents obtained
in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Securities of such Series) may waive compliance by the Company with any provision
of this Indenture or the Securities with respect to such Series.

 

It
shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Securities under this Section 9.2 to approve the particular form of any
proposed supplemental indenture or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. After a
supplemental indenture or waiver under this section becomes effective, the Company shall send to the Holders of Securities affected
thereby, a notice briefly describing the supplemental indenture or waiver. Any failure by the Company to send such notice, or any
defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver.

 

    37

     

    

 

Section 9.3.        
Limitations.

 

Without
the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver may not:

 

(a)           
reduce the principal amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

 

(b)           
reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest (including default interest) on any Security;

reduce the principal amount of Discount Securities payable upon acceleration of the maturity thereof;

 

(e)           
waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or interest, if any, on any Security (except a rescission
of acceleration of the Securities of any Series by the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities
of such Series and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

 

(f)            
make the principal of or interest, if any, on any Security payable in any currency other than that stated in the Security;

 

(g)           
make any change in Sections 6.8, 6.13 or 9.3 (this sentence); or

waive a redemption payment with respect to any Security, provided that such redemption is made at the Company’s option.

 

Section 9.4.        
Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

 

Every
amendment to this Indenture or the Securities of one or more Series shall be set forth in a supplemental indenture hereto that complies
with the TIA as then in effect.

 

Section 9.5.        
Revocation and Effect of Consents.

 

Until
an amendment is set forth in a supplemental indenture or a waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Security is a continuing
consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting
Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may
revoke the consent as to his Security or portion of a Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date of the
supplemental indenture or the date the waiver becomes effective.

 

    38

     

    

 

Any
amendment or waiver once effective shall bind every Holder of each Series affected by such amendment or waiver unless it is of the type
described in any of clauses (a) through (h) of Section 9.3. In that case, the amendment or waiver shall bind each Holder of a Security
who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting
Holder’s Security.

 

The
Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their consent
or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then
notwithstanding the second immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated
proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or take any such action,
whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120
days after such record date.

 

Section 9.6.        
Notation on or Exchange of Securities.

 

The
Company or the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, place an appropriate notation about an amendment or waiver on any Security
of any Series thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for Securities of that Series may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate
upon receipt of a Company Order in accordance with Section 2.3 new Securities of that Series that reflect the amendment or waiver.

 

Section 9.7.        
Trustee Protected.

 

In
executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby
of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, upon request, an Officer’s Certificate and/or
an Opinion of Counsel complying with Sections 10.4 and 10.5 and (subject to Section 7.1) shall be fully protected in relying upon such
Officer’s Certificate and/or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall sign all supplemental indentures upon delivery of such an Officer’s
Certificate or Opinion of Counsel or both, except that the Trustee need not sign any supplemental indenture that adversely affects its
rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture.

to a Holder of any Series or any defect in it shall not affect its sufficiency with respect to other Holders of that or any other Series.

a notice or communication is sent or published in the manner provided above, within the time prescribed, it is duly given, whether or
not the Holder receives it.

 

If
the Company sends a notice or communication to Holders, it shall send a copy to the Trustee and each Agent at the same time.

The
Trustee shall not have any duty to confirm that the person sending any notice, instruction or other communication by electronic transmission

signatures believed by the Trustee to comply with the ESIGN Act of 2000 or other applicable law (including electronic images of handwritten
signatures and digital signatures provided by DocuSign, Orbit, Adobe Sign or any other digital signature provider acceptable to the Trustee)
shall be deemed original signatures for all purposes. The Company assumes all risks arising out of the use of electronic signatures and
electronic methods to send communications to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on an unauthorized
communication, and the risk of interception or misuse by third parties.

 

Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Indenture or any Security, where this Indenture or any Security provides for notice of any event (including
any notice of redemption) to a Holder of a Global Security (whether by mail or otherwise), such notice shall be sufficiently given to
the Depositary for such Security (or its designee) pursuant to the customary procedures of such Depositary.

Securities in a Foreign Currency.

 

Unless
otherwise specified in a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section
2.2 of this Indenture with respect to a particular Series of Securities, whenever for purposes of this Indenture any action may be taken
by the Holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of Securities of all Series or all Series affected by a particular
action at the time outstanding and, at such time, there are outstanding Securities of any Series which are denominated in more than one

action shall be determined by converting any such other currency into a currency that is designated upon issuance of any particular Series
of Securities. Unless otherwise specified in a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer’s Certificate delivered
pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Indenture with respect to a particular Series of Securities, such conversion shall be at the spot rate

judgment in any court it is necessary to convert the sum due in respect of the principal of or interest or other amount on the
Securities of any Series (the “Required Currency”) into a currency in which a judgment will be rendered (the
 “Judgment Currency”), the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking
procedures the Trustee could purchase in the City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the day on which
final unappealable judgment is entered, unless such day is not a New York Banking Day, then the rate of exchange used shall be the
rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in the City of New York the Required Currency
with the Judgment Currency on the New York Banking Day preceding the day on which final unappealable judgment is entered and (b) its
obligations under this Indenture to make payments in the Required Currency (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender,
any recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or not entered in accordance with subsection (a)), in any currency other than the
Required Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt, by the payee, of the full
amount of the Required Currency expressed to be payable in respect of such payments, (ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or
additional cause of action for the purpose of recovering in the Required Currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt
shall fall short of the full amount of the Required Currency so expressed to be payable, and (iii) shall not be affected by judgment
being obtained for any other sum due under this Indenture. For purposes of the foregoing, “New York Banking Day”
means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday in the City of New York on which banking institutions are authorized or
required by law, regulation or executive order to close.

of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents,
acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes, pandemics, epidemics or other public health

services, it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable best efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking
industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

 

Section 10.18.        
U.S.A. Patriot Act.

parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with Section 326 of the U.S.A. Patriot Act, the Trustee is required to obtain, verify and

ARTICLE
XI.

SINKING FUNDS

 

Section 11.1.      
Applicability of Article.

 

The
provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of the Securities of a Series if so provided by
the terms of such Securities pursuant to Section 2.2, 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 the Securities of any Series is herein referred to as a “mandatory
sinking fund payment” and any other 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 11.2. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of
Securities of any Series as provided for by the terms of the Securities of such Series.

 

    45

     

    

 

Section 11.2.      
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 any Series to be made
pursuant to the terms of such Securities (1) deliver outstanding Securities of such Series to which such sinking fund payment is
applicable (other than any of such Securities previously called for mandatory sinking fund redemption) and (2) apply as credit
Securities of such Series to which such sinking fund payment is applicable and which have been repurchased by the Company or
redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Series of Securities (except pursuant to any mandatory
sinking fund) or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments or other optional redemptions pursuant to the
terms of such Securities, provided that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received by
the Trustee, together with an Officer’s Certificate with respect thereto, not later than 15 days prior to the date on which
the Trustee begins the process of selecting Securities for redemption and shall be credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the
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 in lieu of cash payments pursuant to this
Section 11.2, 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 receipt of a Company Order
that such action be taken, 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 from time to time upon receipt of
a Company Order 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 required to be released to the Company.

 

Section 11.3.    
Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.

 

Not
less than 45 days (unless otherwise indicated in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officer’s Certificate in
respect of a particular Series of Securities) prior to each sinking fund payment date for any Series of Securities, the Company will deliver
to the Trustee an Officer’s 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 11.2, and the optional amount,
if any, to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and the Company shall thereupon be obligated to pay the
amount therein specified. Not less than 30 days (unless otherwise indicated in the Board Resolution, Officer’s Certificate or supplemental
indenture in respect of a particular Series of Securities) before each such sinking fund payment date the Securities to be redeemed upon
such sinking fund payment date will be selected in the manner specified in Section 3.2, and the Company shall send or cause to be sent
a notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in and in accordance
with Section 3.3. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner
stated in Sections 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6.

SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE

 

This
Separation Agreement and General Release (“Agreement”) is entered into by and between First Foundation Bank,
a California banking corporation (the “Employer”), on the one hand, and David DePillo (the “Employee”),
on the other hand, with reference to the following facts:

2020 (as amended, the “Employment Agreement”); and

 

WHEREAS,
the Employee’s employment with the Employer will terminate effective as of November 7,

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the promises and mutual covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which

2.            Consideration.
In consideration of the promises and releases made herein, if the Employee timely signs, returns
and does not revoke this Agreement, and any period of revocation expires, all occurring within thirty (30) days after the Separation Date,

4.            Good
Faith Dispute. The parties agree that there is a good faith dispute between the parties as to whether the Employee is owed any payments,

and the Employee is willing to compromise and resolve all such claims by accepting the consideration under the terms of this Agreement.

6.            Older
Worker’s Benefit Protections Act. This Agreement constitutes a knowing and voluntary waiver of any and all rights or claims
the Employee has or may have under the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act, as amended by the Older Workers’ Benefit Protection
Act of 1990, 29 U.S.C. §§ 621, et seq. This Section and this Agreement are written in a manner calculated to be understood
by the Employee. The Employee is advised in writing to consult with an attorney before signing this Agreement. The Employee has up to
21 days in which to consider signing this Agreement. If the Employee decides not to use all 21 days, the Employee knowingly and voluntarily,
and without inducement by the Employer, waives any claims that the Employee was not given the 21-day period or did not use the entire
21 days to consider this Agreement. The Employer has not made any representations or threats to withdraw or alter the terms of this Agreement
prior to the expiration of the 21 day period, or offered to provide different terms to the Employee if the Employee signs this Agreement
prior to the expiration of the 21-day period. The Employee may revoke this Agreement at any time within the 7-day period following the
date the Employee signs this Agreement by providing written notice of revocation to be delivered by overnight courier to the Employer
at the following address:

 

First Foundation Bank

18101 Von Karman Avenue, Suite 750

Irvine, CA 92612

Attention: Chief Executive Officer

 

If the Employee does not revoke this Agreement
within the 7-day revocation period, this Agreement will become effective on the 8th day after the Employee signs and dates this Agreement,
initials each page of it, and returns an original executed Agreement to the Employer (the “Effective Date”).

 

7.            Waiver
of Civil Code Section 1542. The Employee understands that the foregoing releases shall be effective as a full and final accord
and satisfaction and general release of all claims, whether known or unknown, against the Employer and the other Released Parties. The
Employee acknowledges that the Employee has been advised of and fully waives, Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California
which provides as follows:

 

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

 

The Employee is aware that
the Employee may hereafter discover claims or facts in addition to or different from those the Employee now knows or believes to exist
with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement which if the Employee had known, may have affected the Employee’s decision
to sign this Agreement; however, the Employee hereby settles and releases all of the claims which the Employee has or may have against
the Employer and the other Released Parties including arising out of such additional or different facts.

 

8.            No
Transferred Claims. The Employee represents and warrants to the Employer that he has not heretofore assigned or transferred to any
person not a party to this Agreement any released matter or any part or portion thereof.

 

    -4-

     

    

 

9.            Final
Pay. In accordance with California law, the Employee has received or will receive his final paycheck, any accrued but unused paid
