  SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

  This SEVERANCE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), effective as of May 3, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), is made by and between AIRGAIN, INC. (the “Company”), and Ali Sadri(“Employee”).  

  WHEREAS, Employee is employed by the Company pursuant to that certain offer letter dated April 19, 2021 (the “Offer Letter”).

  WHEREAS, the Company desires to offer Employee certain severance benefits in the event of a Qualifying Termination (as defined below) on the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement. 

  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is mutually acknowledged, the Company and Employee (individually a “Party” and together the “Parties”) agree as follows:

  1.AGREEMENT

  a.Effective Date.

  This Agreement shall be effective on the Effective Date.  

  b.At-will Employment. 

  Employee’s employment relationship with the Company under the Offer Letter and this Agreement (“Employment”) is at-will, terminable at any time and for any reason by either the Company or Employee. While certain sections of this Agreement describe events that could occur at a particular time in the future, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a guarantee of employment of any length.

  c.Termination of Employment.

  		a.	Accrued Obligations. In the event of Employee’s termination of employment for any reason, the Company shall pay Employee the following: (i) all accrued and unpaid Base Salary, if any is due, through the date of termination and any vacation which is accrued but unused as of such date; and (ii) Employee’s business expenses that are reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement and Company policies, but which have not been reimbursed by the Company as of the date of termination (collectively, the “Accrued Obligations”).  

  b.“Qualifying Termination.”  In the event of Employee’s Qualifying Termination (as defined below), subject to Employee’s execution and non-revocation of a full and final Release (as defined in Section 9 below) and Employee’s continued compliance with the Employee Proprietary Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement (as defined 

  1

   

  |US-DOCS\123468534.2||

  

    

  below), Employee shall be entitled to:

  i.the Accrued Obligations; plus 

  ii.severance pay in an amount equal to (i) twelve (12) months’ of Employee’s base salary as in effect immediately prior to the date of termination, plus (ii) an amount equal to Employee’s target annual bonus for the calendar year during which the date of termination occurs, prorated for such portion of the calendar year during which such termination occurs that has elapsed through the date of termination, payable in a lump sum on the date that is sixty (60) days following the date of termination; plus

   

  iii.for the period beginning on the date of Employee’s termination of employment and ending on the date which is twelve (12) full months following the date of Employee’s termination of employment (or, if earlier, the date on which the applicable continuation period under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”) expires) (the “COBRA Coverage Period”), the Company shall arrange to provide Employee and his eligible dependents who were covered under the Company’s health insurance plans as of the date of Employee’s termination of employment with health (including medical and dental) insurance benefits substantially similar to those provided to Employee and his dependents immediately prior to the date of such termination.  If the Company is not reasonably able to continue health insurance benefits coverage under the Company’s insurance plans, the Company shall provide substantially equivalent coverage under other third-party insurance sources.  If any of the Company’s health benefits are self-funded as of the date of Employee’s termination of employment, or if the Company cannot provide the foregoing benefits in a manner that is exempt from or otherwise compliant with applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), instead of providing continued health insurance benefits as set forth above, the Company shall instead pay to Employee an amount equal to the monthly premium payment for Employee and his eligible dependents who were covered under the Company’s health plans as of the date of Employee’s termination of employment (calculated by reference to the premium as of the date of termination) as currently taxable compensation in substantially equal monthly installments over the COBRA Coverage Period (or the remaining portion thereof); plus

  iv.such number of Employee’s Equity Awards (as defined below) as would have vested during the twelve (12) months following the date of Employee’s termination of employment had Employee remained continuously in service during such period shall become vested and/or exercisable effective as of the date of termination.  

  c.	Other Terminations.  If Employee’s employment is terminated for any reason other than Employee’s Qualifying Termination, Employee shall not be eligible for severance payments, or any continuation of benefits (other than as required by law), or any other compensation pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, as a result of such termination, other than the Accrued Obligations.

  d.Definitions.

  |US-DOCS\123468534.2||

  

    

  a.For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” is defined as the Company’s good faith determination of: (i) Employee’s material breach of this Agreement or the Employee Proprietary Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement; (ii) Employee’s continued substantial and material failure or refusal to perform according to, or to comply with, the policies, procedures or practices established by the Company; (iii) the appropriation (or attempted appropriation) of a material business opportunity of the Company, including attempting to secure or securing any personal profit in connection with any transaction entered into on behalf of the Company; (iv) the misappropriation (or attempted appropriation) of any of the Company’s funds or property of any kind; (v) willful gross misconduct; or (vi) Employee’s conviction of a felony involving moral turpitude that is likely to inflict or has inflicted material injury on the business of the Company; provided, however, that except for Cause being the result of item (vi) above, the Company shall provide written notice to Employee, which notice specifically identifies the nature of the alleged Cause claimed by the Company with enough specificity for Employee to be able to cure, and Employee shall thereafter have fifteen (15) days to cure the purported ground(s) for Cause.

  b.For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” means and includes each of the following:

  i.	A transaction or series of transactions (other than an offering of the Company's common stock to the general public through a registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or a transaction or series of transactions that meets the requirements of clauses (x) and (y) of subsection (iii) below) whereby any “person” or related “group” of “persons” (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (other than the Company, any of its subsidiaries, an employee benefit plan maintained by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or a “person” that, prior to such transaction, directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Company) directly or indirectly acquires beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of securities of the Company possessing more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of the Company’s securities outstanding immediately after such acquisition; or

  ii.	During any period of two consecutive years, individuals who, at the beginning of such period, constitute the Board together with any new director(s) (other than a director designated by a person who shall have entered into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described in subsections (i) or (iii)) whose election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the two (2)-year period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof; or

  iii.	The consummation by the Company (whether directly involving the Company or indirectly involving the Company through one or more intermediaries) of (A) a merger, consolidation, reorganization, or business combination or (B) a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets in any single transaction or series of related transactions or (C) the acquisition of assets or stock of another entity, in each case other than a transaction:

  	3	

   

   

  |US-DOCS\123468534.2||

  

    

  x.	which results in the Company’s voting securities outstanding immediately before the transaction continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the Company or the person that, as a result of the transaction, controls, directly or indirectly, the Company or owns, directly or indirectly, all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or otherwise succeeds to the business of the Company (the Company or such person, the “Successor Entity”)) directly or indirectly, at least a majority of the combined voting power of the Successor Entity’s outstanding voting securities immediately after the transaction, and

  y.	after which no person or group beneficially owns voting securities representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the Successor Entity; provided, however, that no person or group shall be treated for purposes of this clause (y) as beneficially owning fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the Successor Entity solely as a result of the voting power held in the Company prior to the consummation of the transaction.

  In addition, if a Change in Control constitutes a payment event with respect to any payment under this Agreement which provides for the deferral of compensation and is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the transaction or event described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) with respect to such payment must also constitute a “change in control event,” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5) to the extent required by Section 409A of the Code.

  		c.	For purposes of this Agreement, “Equity Awards” means all stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and such other awards granted pursuant to the Company's stock option and equity incentive award plans or agreements and any shares of stock issued upon exercise thereof.

  d.Definition of “Good Reason.”  For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” and “Resignation for Good Reason” are defined as the occurrence of one of the following events without Employee’s written consent within twelve (12) months following a Change in Control:

  i.a material reduction in Employee’s authority, duties or responsibilities relative to Employee’s authority, duties or responsibilities in effect immediately prior to such reduction;

  ii.a material reduction by the Company in Employee’s base salary relative to Employee’s base salary in effect immediately prior to such reduction (and the Parties agree that a reduction of ten percent (10%) or more will be considered material for purposes of this clause (ii)), other than a general reduction in the base salaries of similarly situated employees of the Company; 

  iii.a material change in the geographic location at which Employee must perform his duties (and the Company and Employee agree that any requirement that Employee be based at any place outside a 25-mile radius of his or her place of employment as of the Effective Date, except for reasonably required travel on the Company's or any successor's or affiliate's business that is not materially greater than such travel requirements prior to the Effective Date, 

  	4	

   

   

  |US-DOCS\123468534.2||

  

    

  shall be considered a material change); or

  iv.the Company’s material breach of this Agreement; 

  provided, however, that Employee must provide written notice to the Company of the condition that could constitute a “Good Reason” event within ninety (90) days of the initial existence of such condition and such condition must not have been remedied by the Company within thirty (30) days (the “Cure Period”) of such written notice.  Employee’s Resignation for Good Reason must occur within six (6) months following the initial existence of such condition.

  		e.	For purposes of this Agreement, a “Qualifying Termination” occurs if (i) Employee’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (and other than as a result of Employee’s death or disability) at any time, or (ii) within twelve (12) months following a “Change in Control,” Employee terminates his employment pursuant to a Resignation for Good Reason.  

  e.Release.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, no amount shall be paid or benefit provided pursuant to Section 3 (other than the Accrued Obligations) unless, on or prior to the sixtieth (60th) day following the date of Employee’s termination of employment, an effective general release of claims agreement (the “Release”) in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1 has been executed by Employee and remains effective on such date and any applicable revocation period thereunder has expired.

  f.Notices.  Any reports, notices or other communications required or permitted to be given by either Party hereto, shall be given in writing by personal delivery, overnight courier service, or by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed to the Company at its principal executive offices and to Employee at his most recent address on the Company's payroll records.

  g.General Provisions.

  a.Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof.  Employee and the Company agree that any litigation regarding this Agreement shall be conducted in San Diego, California. Employee and the Company hereby consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of California and the United States District Court for the Southern District of California.

  b.Assignment; Assumption by Successor.  The rights of the Company under this Agreement may, without the consent of Employee, be assigned by the Company, in its sole and unfettered discretion, to any person, firm, corporation or other business entity which at any time, whether by purchase, merger or otherwise, directly or indirectly, acquires all or substantially all of the assets or business of the Company.  The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company expressly to assume and to agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to 

  	5	

   

   

  |US-DOCS\123468534.2||

  

    

  perform it if no such succession had taken place; provided, however, that no such assumption shall relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder.  As used in this Agreement, the “Company” shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of law or otherwise.

  c.No Waiver of Breach. The failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any such provision, nor prevent a Party thereafter from enforcing the provision or any other provision of this Agreement. The rights granted the Parties are cumulative, and the election of one shall not constitute a waiver of such Party’s right to assert all other legal and equitable remedies available under the circumstances.

  d.Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if any provision shall be held to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remainder of the provisions, or enforceable parts of this Agreement, shall not be affected.

  e.Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Offer Letter and the Employee Proprietary Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement executed by Employee in connection with his employment with the Company (the “Employee Proprietary Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement”) constitute the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all prior and contemporaneous negotiations, agreements and understandings between the Parties, whether oral or written.

  f.Modifications and Waivers. No modification or waiver of this Agreement shall be valid unless in writing, signed by the Party against whom such modification or waiver is sought to be enforced.

  g.Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or supplemented only by a writing signed by both of the Parties hereto.

  h.Duplicate Counterparts; Facsimile. This Agreement may be executed in duplicate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original; provided, however, such counterparts shall together constitute only one agreement. Facsimile signatures or signatures sent via electronic mail shall be as effective as original signatures.

  i.Interpretation. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

  j.Non-transferability of Interest.  None of the rights of Employee to receive any form of compensation payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be assignable or transferable except through a testamentary disposition or by the laws of descent and distribution upon the death of Employee.  Any attempted assignment, transfer, conveyance, or other disposition (other than as aforesaid) of any interest in the rights of Employee to receive any form of compensation to be made by the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall be void.

  |US-DOCS\123468534.2||

  

    

  k.Construction.  The language in all parts of this Agreement shall in all cases be construed simply, according to its fair meaning, and not strictly for or against any of the parties hereto.  Without limitation, there shall be no presumption against any party on the ground that such party was responsible for drafting this Agreement or any part thereof.

  l.Section 409A.  

  i.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no payment or benefit to be paid or provided to Employee upon his termination of employment, if any, pursuant to this Agreement that, when considered together with any other payments or benefits, are considered deferred compensation under Section 409A (together, the “Deferred Payments”) will be paid or otherwise provided until Employee has a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A.  Similarly, no amounts payable to Employee, if any, pursuant to this Agreement that otherwise would be exempt from Section 409A pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) will be payable until Employee has a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A.

  ii.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Employee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of Employee’s termination of employment (other than due to death), then the Deferred Payments that are payable within the first six (6) months following Employee’s separation from service, will become payable on the first payroll date that occurs on or after the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of Employee’s separation from service.  All subsequent Deferred Payments, if any, will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Employee dies following Employee’s separation from service, but prior to the six (6) month anniversary of the separation from service, then any payments delayed in accordance with this paragraph will be payable in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable after the date of Employee’s death and all other Deferred Payments will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit.  Each payment and benefit payable under this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations.

  iii.Any amount paid under this Agreement that satisfies the requirements of the “short-term deferral” rule set forth in Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations will not constitute a Deferred Payment for purposes of clauses (i) and (ii) above.

  iv.Any amount paid under this Agreement that qualifies as a payment made as a result of an involuntary separation from service pursuant to Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations that does not exceed the limits set forth therein will not constitute a Deferred Payment for purposes of clauses (i) and (ii) above. 

  v.This Agreement is intended to be written, administered, interpreted and construed in a manner such that no payment or benefits provided under the Agreement become subject to (A) the gross income inclusion set forth within Code Section 409A(a)(1)(A) or (B) the interest and additional tax set forth within Code Section 409A(a)(1)(B) (together, referred to herein as the “Section 409A Penalties”), including, where appropriate, the 

  	7	

   

   

  |US-DOCS\123468534.2||

  

    

  construction of defined terms to have meanings that would not cause the imposition of Section 409A Penalties.  In no event shall the Company be required to provide a tax gross-up payment to Employee or otherwise reimburse Employee with respect to Section 409A Penalties.   The Company and Employee agree to work together in good faith to consider amendments to this Agreement and to take such reasonable actions which are necessary, appropriate or desirable to avoid imposition of any Section 409A Penalties on Employee.

  vi.Any reimbursement of expenses or in-kind benefits payable under this Agreement shall be made in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv) and shall be paid on or before the last day of Employee’s taxable year following the taxable year in which Employee incurred the expenses.  The amount of expenses reimbursed or in-kind benefits payable in one year shall not affect the amount eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits payable in any other taxable year of Employee’s, and Employee’s right to reimbursement for such amounts shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit.

  m.Whistleblower Provision. Nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit Employee from communicating directly with, cooperating with, or providing information to, any government regulator, including, but not limited to, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, or the U.S. Department of Justice. Employee acknowledges that the Company has provided Employee with the following notice of immunity rights in compliance with the requirements of the Defend Trade Secrets Act: (i) Employee shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of proprietary information of the Company that is made in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official or to an attorney solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, (ii) Employee shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of proprietary information of the Company that is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal and (iii) if Employee files a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, Employee may disclose the proprietary information to my attorney and use the proprietary information in the court proceeding, if Employee files any document containing the proprietary information under seal, and does not disclose the proprietary information, except pursuant to court order.

  (b)	EMPLOYEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT he HAS BEEN ADVISED OF AND IS FAMILIAR WITH THE PROVISIONS OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542, WHICH PROVIDES AS FOLLOWS:

   

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

   

  BEING AWARE OF SAID CODE SECTION, EMPLOYEE HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHTS he MAY HAVE THEREUNDER, AS WELL AS UNDER ANY OTHER STATUTES OR COMMON LAW PRINCIPLES OF SIMILAR EFFECT.

   

  [Note:  Clauses (c), (d) and (e) apply only if Employee is age 40 or older at time of termination]

   

  		(c)	Employee acknowledges that this Release was presented to him on the date indicated above and that Employee is entitled to have twenty-one (21) days’ time in which to consider it.  Employee further acknowledges that the Company has advised him that he is waiving his rights under the ADEA, and that Employee should consult with an attorney of his choice before signing this Release, and Employee has had sufficient time to consider the terms of this Release.  Employee represents and acknowledges that if Employee executes this Release before twenty-one (21) days have elapsed, Employee does so knowingly, voluntarily, and upon the advice and with the approval of Employee’s legal counsel (if any), and that Employee voluntarily waives any remaining consideration period.

  		 

  (d)  	Employee understands that after executing this Release, Employee has the right to revoke it within seven (7) days after his execution of it.  Employee understands that this Release will not become effective and enforceable unless the seven (7) day revocation period passes and Employee does not revoke the Release in writing.

Employee also understands that any revocation of this Release must be made in writing and delivered to the Company at its principal place of business within the seven (7) day period.

  		 

  (e)  	Employee understands that this Release shall become effective, irrevocable, and binding upon Employee on the eighth (8th) day after his execution of it, so long as Employee has not revoked it within the time period and in the manner specified in clause (d) above.  

  		 

  (f)	Employee further understands that Employee will not be given any severance benefits under the Agreement unless this Release is effective on or before the date that is sixty (60) days following the date of Employee’s termination of employment.

   

  	2.	No Assignment.  Employee represents and warrants to the Company Releasees that there has been no assignment or other transfer of any interest in any Claim that Employee may have against the Company Releasees.  Employee agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the 

  3

   

  |US-DOCS\123468534.2||

  

   

   

  Company Releasees from any liability, claims, demands, damages, costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees incurred as a result of any such assignment or transfer from Employee.

   

  3.	Whistleblower Provision. Nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit Employee from communicating directly with, cooperating with, or providing information to, any government regulator, including, but not limited to, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, or the U.S. Department of Justice. Employee acknowledges that the Company has provided Employee with the following notice of immunity rights in compliance with the requirements of the Defend Trade Secrets Act: (i) Employee shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of proprietary information of the Company that is made in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official or to an attorney solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, (ii) Employee shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of proprietary information of the Company that is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal and (iii) if Employee files a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, Employee may disclose the proprietary information to my attorney and use the proprietary information in the court proceeding, if Employee files any document containing the proprietary information under seal, and does not disclose the proprietary information, except pursuant to court order.

   

  4.	Severability.  In the event any provision of this Release is found to be unenforceable by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to allow enforceability of the provision as so limited, it being intended that the parties shall receive the benefit contemplated herein to the fullest extent permitted by law.  If a deemed modification is not satisfactory in the judgment of such arbitrator or court, the unenforceable provision shall be deemed deleted, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby. 

   

  5.	Interpretation; Construction.  The headings set forth in this Release are for convenience only and shall not be used in interpreting this Agreement.  This Release has been drafted by legal counsel representing the Company, but Employee has participated in the negotiation of its terms.  Furthermore, Employee acknowledges that Employee has had an opportunity to review and revise the Release and have it reviewed by legal counsel, if desired, and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Release.  Either party’s failure to enforce any provision of this Release shall not in any way be construed as a waiver of any such provision, or prevent that party thereafter from enforcing each and every other provision of this Release.

   

  6.	Governing Law; Venue.  This Release shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof.  Employee and the Company agree that any litigation regarding this Release  shall be conducted in San Diego, California.

OR BY THE DEPOSITARY OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY.”

 

(d) Each Depositary designated pursuant to
Section 3.01 must, at the time of its designation and at all times while it serves as Depositary, be a clearing agency registered
under the Exchange Act and any other applicable statute or regulation.

 

(e) The Trustee shall have the right to decline
to authenticate and deliver any Subordinated Debt Security under this Section if the Trustee, upon the advice of counsel, determines
that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee, by a committee of Responsible Officers, shall determine in good faith that
the authentication and delivery of such Subordinated Debt Security would be unjustly prejudicial to Holders of Outstanding Subordinated
Debt Securities or affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Subordinated Debt Securities and this Indenture
or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

 

(f) Each Subordinated Debt Security shall
be dated the date of its authentication, unless otherwise provided by the terms established and contemplated by Section 3.01.

 

(g) No Subordinated Debt Security shall be
entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Subordinated Debt
Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual or facsimile
signature of one of its authorized signatories, and such certificate upon any Subordinated Debt Security shall be conclusive evidence,
and the only evidence, that such Subordinated Debt Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture.

 

(h) [Reserved].

Section 3.04. Temporary Subordinated
Debt Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Subordinated Debt Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and
upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Subordinated Debt Securities which are printed,
lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the
definitive Subordinated Debt Securities in lieu of which they are issued, in registered form and with such appropriate insertions,
omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Subordinated Debt Securities may determine, as
evidenced by their execution of such Subordinated Debt Securities. In the case of Subordinated Debt Securities of any series, such
temporary Subordinated Debt Securities may be in global form, representing all of the Outstanding Subordinated Debt Securities of
such series.

 

If temporary Subordinated Debt Securities of any
series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Subordinated Debt Securities of such series to be prepared without unreasonable delay.
After the preparation of definitive Subordinated Debt Securities of such series, the temporary Subordinated Debt Securities of such series
shall be exchangeable for definitive Subordinated Debt Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Subordinated Debt Securities
of such series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for such series without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender
for cancellation of any one or more temporary Subordinated Debt Securities of any series, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Subordinated Debt Securities of such series in any
authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Subordinated Debt Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled
to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Subordinated Debt Securities of such series.

 

Section 3.05. Registration, Transfer and
Exchange. The Company shall cause to be kept a register (herein sometimes referred to as the “Security Register”)
in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall register, and will register the transfer of, Subordinated
Debt Securities. Separate registers may be kept for separate series of Subordinated Debt Securities. Unless and until otherwise determined
by the Company, the Security Register shall be kept at the office or agency of the Company maintained pursuant to Section 5.02, which
office or agency is hereby appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Subordinated Debt Securities and
registering the transfer of Subordinated Debt Securities as herein provided. At all reasonable times the Security Register shall be open
for inspection by the Trustee during normal business hours.

 

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of
any Subordinated Debt Security of any series at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose, the Company shall execute,
and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order to do so, shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, a like aggregate principal amount of one or more new Subordinated Debt Securities of the same series in any authorized denominations.

 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section 3.05, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Subordinated Debt Securities in definitive registered
form, a Global Security representing all or a portion of the Subordinated Debt Securities of a series may not be transferred except
as a whole by the Depositary for such series to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary
or another nominee of such Depositary or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary for such series or a
nominee of such successor Depositary.

 

    18

     

    

 

At the option of the Holder, Subordinated Debt
Securities of any series (except a Global Security) may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of other Subordinated Debt
Securities of the same series in any authorized denominations upon surrender of the Subordinated Debt Securities to be exchanged at such
office or agency. Whenever any Subordinated Debt Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute and the Trustee
shall, upon receipt of a Company Order to do so, authenticate and deliver the Subordinated Debt Securities which the Holder making the
exchange is entitled to receive, bearing numbers not contemporaneously outstanding.

 

If at any time the Depositary for the Subordinated
Debt Securities of a series notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Subordinated Debt Securities
of such series or if at any time the Depositary for the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series shall no longer be eligible under
Section 3.03(d), the Company shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series.
If a successor Depositary for the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the
Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company’s election pursuant to Section 3.01(x) shall
no longer be effective with respect to the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series and the Company will execute, and the Trustee,
upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Subordinated Debt Securities of such series, will authenticate
and deliver, Subordinated Debt Securities of such series in definitive registered form without coupons, in any authorized denominations,
in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing such series, in exchange
for such Global Security or Securities.

 

The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion
determine that the Subordinated Debt Securities of any series issued in the form of one or more Global Securities shall no longer be represented
by a Global Security or Securities. In such event the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication
and delivery of definitive Subordinated Debt Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver, Subordinated Debt Securities of
such series in definitive registered form without coupons, in any authorized denominations, in an aggregate principal amount equal to
the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing such series, in exchange for such Global Security or Securities.

 

If specified by the Company pursuant to Section 3.01
with respect to a series of Subordinated Debt Securities, the Depositary for such series of Subordinated Debt Securities may surrender
a Global Security for such series of Subordinated Debt Securities in exchange in whole or in part for Subordinated Debt Securities of
such series in definitive registered form on such terms as are acceptable to the Company and such Depositary. Thereupon, the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order to do so, authenticate and deliver, without service charge,

 

    19

     

    

 

(i) to the Person specified by
such Depositary a new Subordinated Debt Security or Securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination as requested by such
Person, in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial interest in the Global Security;
and

 

(ii) to such Depositary a new
Global Security in a denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Global Security and
the aggregate principal amount of Subordinated Debt Securities authenticated and delivered pursuant to Clause (i) above.

 

Upon the exchange of a Global Security for Subordinated
Debt Securities in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, such Global Security shall be cancelled by
the Trustee. Subordinated Debt Securities in definitive registered form without coupons issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant
to this Section 3.05 shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global Security,
pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver
such Subordinated Debt Securities to or as directed by the Persons in whose names such Subordinated Debt Securities are so registered.

 

All Subordinated Debt Securities issued upon any
transfer or exchange of Subordinated Debt Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled
to the same benefits under the Indenture, as the Subordinated Debt Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

 

Every Subordinated Debt Security presented or
surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company, the Security Registrar or the Trustee)
be duly endorsed by the appropriate persons and be accompanied by reasonable assurances that the endorsements are genuine and effective,
or shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Security Registrar and the Trustee,
duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and such other documentation as the Company, the Security
Registrar or the Trustee may reasonably require.

 

No service charge shall be made for any transfer
or exchange of Subordinated Debt Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Subordinated Debt Securities, other than exchanges pursuant
to Section 3.04, 4.06 or 13.05 not involving any transfer.

 

The Company shall not be required
(i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Subordinated Debt Security of any particular series during a period
beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Subordinated Debt Securities
of such series selected for redemption under Section 4.02 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or
(ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Subordinated Debt Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part,
except the unredeemed portion of any Subordinated Debt Security being redeemed in part.

 

    20

     

    

 

Section 3.06. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost
and Stolen Subordinated Debt Securities. If (i) any mutilated Subordinated Debt Security is surrendered to the Trustee or (ii) the
Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the ownership of and the destruction, loss or theft of any Subordinated
Debt Security, and there is delivered to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold each
of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Subordinated
Debt Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon receipt of a Company Order to do so, the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Subordinated Debt
Security, a new Subordinated Debt Security of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

 

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

 

Upon the issuance of any new Subordinated Debt
Security under this Section 3.06, 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 Company and the Trustee)
connected therewith.

 

Every new Subordinated Debt Security of any series
issued pursuant to this Section 3.06 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Subordinated Debt Security shall constitute an original
additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Subordinated Debt 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 Subordinated Debt Securities of such series duly issued hereunder.

 

The provisions of this Section 3.06 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 Subordinated Debt Securities.

 

Section 3.07. Payment of Interest; Interest
Rights Preserved. Interest on any Subordinated Debt Security which is payable and is punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest
Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Subordinated Debt Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered
at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest. At the option of the Company, payment of interest on any Subordinated
Debt Security may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register
or, if so specified in the manner contemplated by Section 3.01, by wire transfer to an account designated by such Person in writing
to the Trustee.

 

    21

     

    

 

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

 

(i) The Company may elect to
make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Subordinated Debt Securities (or their respective
Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest,
which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest
proposed to be paid on each Subordinated Debt Security of such series, the date of the proposed payment and the Special Record Date
therefor, which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than
10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. At the same time, the Company shall deposit with the
Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make
arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be
held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Clause provided. Unless the Trustee is
acting as the Security Registrar, promptly after such Special Record Date the Company shall furnish the Trustee a list, or shall
make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee with respect thereto, of the names and addresses of, and principal amounts of
Subordinated Debt Securities held by, the Holders appearing on the Security Register at the close of business on such Special Record
Date. In the name and at the expense of the Company, the Trustee shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted
Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Subordinated Debt
Securities of such series at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record
Date.

 

Notice of the proposed payment of such
Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the
Persons in whose names the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered on
such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause (ii).

 

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

 

    22

     

    

 

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.07,
each Subordinated Debt Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration or transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other
Subordinated Debt Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Subordinated
Debt Security.

 

Section 3.08. Persons Deemed Owners.
Prior to due presentment of a Subordinated Debt Security for registration or transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company
or the Trustee may treat the Person whose name such Subordinated Debt Security is registered as the owner of such Subordinated Debt Security
for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 3.07) interest on such Subordinated
Debt Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Subordinated Debt Security shall be overdue, and neither the
Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent
or the Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account
of beneficial ownership interests in a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial
ownership interests.

 

Section 3.09. Cancellation. All Subordinated
Debt Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration, transfer or exchange or for credit against any payment in respect of
a sinking or analogous fund, shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly
cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Subordinated Debt Securities previously authenticated
and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Subordinated Debt Securities so delivered
shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. Acquisition by the Company of any Subordinated Debt Security shall not operate as a redemption
or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Subordinated Debt Securities unless and until the same is delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation. No Subordinated Debt Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Subordinated Debt Securities
cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted in this Indenture. All cancelled Subordinated Debt Securities held
by the Trustee may be disposed of, and the Trustee shall certify to the Company upon its request therefor any disposal thereof, unless,
by a Company Order, the Company shall direct that cancelled Subordinated Debt Securities be returned to it.

 

Section 3.10. Computation of Interest.
Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Subordinated Debt Securities of any series, interest on the Subordinated
Debt Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

 

    23

     

    

 

Section 3.11. Cusip and ISIN Numbers.
The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” and/or “ISIN” numbers (if then generally in use), and the
Trustee shall use CUSIP or ISIN numbers, as the case may be, in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders and no representation
shall be made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption, exchange
or conversion. The Company will promptly notify, and in any event within 10 Business Days, the Trustee of any initial CUSIP and/or ISIN
numbers and of any changes in the CUSIP and/or ISIN numbers.

 

Section 3.12. Payment in Currencies.
(a) Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Subordinated Debt Securities of any series shall be made
in the currency or currencies specified pursuant to Section 3.01; provided that, if so specified in the manner provided in
Section 3.01, the Holder of a Subordinated Debt Security of such series may elect to receive such payment in any one of (i) Dollars
and (ii) any other currency acceptable to the Trustee designated for such purpose pursuant to Section 3.01. A Holder may make
such election by delivering to the Trustee a written notice thereof, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A or in
such other form as may be acceptable to the Trustee, not later than the close of business on the Regular or Special Record Date immediately
preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or the fifteenth day immediately preceding Maturity, as the case may be, with respect to
Subordinated Debt Securities of such series. Such election shall remain in effect with respect to such Holder until such Holder delivers
to the Trustee a written notice substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A or in such other form as may be acceptable
to the Trustee specifying a change in the currency in which such payment is to be made; provided that any such notice must be delivered
to the Trustee not later than the close of business on the Regular or Special Record Date immediately preceding the next Interest Payment
Date or the fifteenth day immediately preceding Maturity, as the case may be, with respect to Subordinated Debt Securities of such series
in order to be effective for the payment to be made thereon; and provided further that no such change in currency may be made with
respect to payments to be made on any Subordinated Debt Security with respect to which notice of redemption has been given by the Company
pursuant to Section 4.02.

 

(b) Except as otherwise specified in
the manner contemplated by Section 3.01, the Trustee shall deliver to the Company, not later than the fourth Business Day
following each Regular or Special Record Date with respect to an Interest Payment Date or the tenth Business Day immediately
preceding Maturity, as the case may be, with respect to a series of Subordinated Debt Securities, a written notice specifying, in
the currency in which such series of Subordinated Debt Securities is denominated, the aggregate amount of the principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest on such series of Subordinated Debt Securities to be paid on such payment date. If payments in respect
of such series of Subordinated Debt Securities are designated to be made in a currency other than the currency in which such series
of Subordinated Debt Securities is denominated or if at least one Holder has made the election referred to in
Subsection (a) above with respect to such series of Subordinated Debt Securities, then the written notice referred to in
the preceding sentence shall also specify, in each currency in which payment in respect of such series of Subordinated Debt
Securities is to be made pursuant to said Subsection (a), the amount of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such
series of Subordinated Debt Securities to be paid in such currency on such payment date.

 

    24

     

    

 

(c) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee,
not later than the eighth Business Day following each Regular or Special Record Date or the tenth day immediately preceding Maturity,
as the case may be, with respect to a series of Subordinated Debt Securities, an Exchange Rate Officer’s Certificate in respect
of the Dollar or Foreign Currency payments to be made on such payment date in respect of such Subordinated Debt Securities. Except as
otherwise specified in the manner contemplated by Section 3.01, the amount receivable by Holders of a series of Subordinated Debt
Securities who have elected payment in a currency other than the currency in which such series of Subordinated Debt Securities is denominated
as provided in Subsection (a) above shall be determined by the Company on the basis of the applicable Exchange Rate.

 

(d) If the Foreign Currency in which a series
of Subordinated Debt Securities is denominated ceases to be used both by the government of the country that issued such currency and for
the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then, with respect to each date
for the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such series of Subordinated Debt Securities occurring after the
final date on which such Foreign Currency was so used, all payments with respect to the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series shall
be made in Dollars. If payment is to be made in Dollars to the Holders of any such series of Subordinated Debt Securities pursuant to
the provisions of the preceding sentence, then the amount to be paid in Dollars on a payment date by the Company to the Trustee and by
the Trustee or any Paying Agent to Holders shall be determined by the Trustee as of the Regular or Special Record Date immediately preceding
the applicable Interest Payment Date or the fifteenth day immediately preceding Maturity, as the case may be, with respect to Subordinated
Debt Securities of such series, and shall be equal to the sum obtained by translating the specified Foreign Currency into Dollars at the
applicable Exchange Rate on the last Record Date on which such Foreign Currency was so used in either fashion; provided that payment
to a Holder of a Subordinated Debt Security of such series shall be made in a different Foreign Currency if that holder has properly elected
or properly elects payment in such Foreign Currency as provided for by Subsection (a) above.

 

If a Holder of a Subordinated Debt Security denominated
in a composite currency has elected payment in a specified Foreign Currency as provided for by Subsection (a) above and such Foreign
Currency ceases to be used both by the government of the country that issued such currency and for the settlement of transactions by
public institutions of or within the international banking community, such Holder shall, subject to Subsection (d)(i) below,
receive payment in such composite currency; provided that such payment to such Holder shall be made in a different Foreign Currency
or in Dollars if that Holder has properly elected or properly elects payments in such Foreign Currency or in Dollars as provided for
by Subsection (a) above.

 

    25

     

    

 

(i) If any composite currency
in which a Subordinated Debt Security is denominated or payable ceases to be used for the purposes for which it was established, then,
with respect to each date for the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on a series of Subordinated Debt Securities
denominated or payable in such composite currency, as the case may be, occurring after the last date on which such composite currency
was so used (the “Conversion Date”), all payments in respect of the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series shall be made
in Dollars; provided that payment to a Holder of a Subordinated Debt Security of such series shall be made in a Foreign Currency
if that Holder has properly elected or properly elects payment in such Foreign Currency as provided for by Subsection (a) above.

 

If payment in respect of Subordinated Debt Securities
of a series denominated in any composite currency is to be made in Dollars pursuant to the provisions of the preceding paragraph, then
the amount to be paid in Dollars on a payment date by the Company to the Trustee and by the Trustee or any Paying Agent to Holders shall
be determined by the Trustee as of the Regular or Special Record Date immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or the
fifteenth day immediately preceding Maturity, as the case may be, with respect to Subordinated Debt Securities of such series, and shall
be equal to the sum of the amounts obtained by translating each Component of such composite currency into Dollars at the applicable Exchange
Rate for such Component on such Record Date or fifteenth day, as the case may be, multiplied by the number of units of such composite
currency that would have been so paid had such composite currency not ceased to be so used. If payment is to be made in a Foreign Currency
to a Holder of a Subordinated Debt Security of such series pursuant to the preceding paragraph, then the amount to be paid in such Foreign
Currency on a payment date by the Company to the Trustee and by the Trustee or any Paying Agent to such Holder shall be determined by
the Trustee as of such Record Date or fifteenth day, as the case may be, and shall be determined by (A) translating each Component
of such composite currency into Dollars at the applicable Exchange Rate for such Component on such Record Date or fifteenth day, as the
case may be, and (B) translating the sum in Dollars so obtained into such Foreign Currency at the applicable Exchange Rate for such
Foreign Currency on such Record Date or fifteenth day, as the case may be.

 

All decisions and determinations of the Trustee
regarding the translation of Foreign Currency into Dollars or the translation of any composite currency into Dollars or the translation
of Dollars into Foreign Currency pursuant to this Subsection (d) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes
and irrevocably binding upon the Company and all Holders of the Subordinated Debt Securities.

 

If a Foreign Currency in which a series of
Subordinated Debt Securities is denominated or in which payments in respect of Subordinated Debt Securities of such series may be
made ceases to be used both by the government of the country that issued such currency and for the settlement of transactions by
public institutions of or within the international banking community, the Company, in the event that it learns thereof (without any
duty to investigate), will immediately give notice thereof to the Trustee (and the Trustee promptly thereafter will give notice to
the relevant Holders in the manner provided in Section 15.05) specifying the last date on which such Foreign Currency was so
used in either fashion. In the event any composite currency in which a Subordinated Debt Security is denominated or payable ceases
to be used for the purposes for which it was established, the Company, upon learning thereof, will immediately give notice thereof
to the Trustee (and the Trustee promptly thereafter will give notice to the relevant Holders in the manner provided in
Section 15.05) specifying the Conversion Date with respect to such composite currency and the Components of such composite
currency on such Conversion Date. In the event of any subsequent change in any such Component, the Company, upon learning thereof,
will give notice to the Trustee similarly. The Trustee shall be fully justified and protected in relying and acting upon the
information so received by it from the Company and shall not otherwise have any duty or obligation to determine such information
independently.

ARTICLE 4

Redemption
of Subordinated Debt Securities; Sinking Fund

 

Section 4.01. Applicability of Right of
Redemption. Redemption of Subordinated Debt Securities (other than pursuant to a sinking fund or analogous provision) permitted by
the terms of any series of Subordinated Debt Securities shall be made in accordance with such terms and the applicable provisions of this
Article; provided, however, that if any such terms of a series of Subordinated Debt Securities shall conflict with any provision
of this Article, the terms of such series shall govern. In addition, the Company may purchase, acquire or otherwise hold Subordinated
Debt Securities.

 

Section 4.02. Notice of Redemption.
If the Company shall elect to redeem the Subordinated Debt Securities of any series in whole or in part as aforesaid, it shall fix a date
for redemption and give notice of its election so to redeem by mailing written notice, postage prepaid, at least 15 days but not more
than 30 days before the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Subordinated Debt Securities to be redeemed as a whole or in part. Any notice
which shall be mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder
shall receive such notice. Failure to mail such notice, or any defect in the notice mailed, to the Holder of any Subordinated Debt Security
designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Subordinated
Debt Security.

 

Each notice of redemption shall state:

 

(i) such election to redeem on
the part of the Company;

 

(ii) the Redemption Date;

 

(iii) the Place or Places of Payment
where such Subordinated Debt Securities may be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and any accrued interest;

 

    27

     

    

 

(iv) the Redemption Price, or
if the Redemption Price is not then ascertainable, the manner of calculation thereof;

 

(v) that the Subordinated Debt
Securities designated in such notice for redemption are required to be presented on or after such Redemption Date and at such Place or
Places of Payment and that interest to the Redemption Date on the Subordinated Debt Securities called for redemption will be paid as specified
in said notice and shall cease to accrue thereon on such date;

 

(vi) if less than all Outstanding
Subordinated Debt Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the notice shall also identify (and, in the case of partial redemption, state
the principal amounts of) the particular Subordinated Debt Securities that are to be redeemed.

 

(vii) in case of partial redemption,
the notice shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that on and after the date fixed for
redemption, upon surrender of such Subordinated Debt Security, a new Subordinated Debt Security of the same series in aggregate principal
amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued; and

 

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

 

(ix) the CUSIP Number and, if
applicable, the ISIN Number of the Subordinated Debt Securities being redeemed.

 

Any notice of redemption of Subordinated Debt
Securities at the option of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee in the name and
at the expense of the Company.

 

Section 4.03. Selection of Subordinated
Debt Securities on Partial Redemption. Except as otherwise specified in the manner contemplated by Section 3.01 for the Subordinated
Debt Securities of any series, if the Company shall at any time elect to redeem less than all the Subordinated Debt Securities of such
series then Outstanding, it shall notify the Trustee of the principal amount of Subordinated Debt Securities to be redeemed before the
mailing of the notice of redemption pursuant to Section 4.02, and thereupon the Trustee shall select, in such manner as the Trustee
shall deem appropriate and fair and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination
for Subordinated Debt Securities of such series or any integral multiple thereof that is also an authorized denomination, but in no event
shall such portion be less than $1,000) of the principal amount of Subordinated Debt Securities of such series of a denomination larger
than the minimum authorized denomination for Subordinated Debt Securities of such series.

 

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company
in writing of the Subordinated Debt Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Subordinated Debt Security selected for
partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

 

    28

     

    

 

For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the
context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Subordinated Debt Securities shall relate, in the case of any
Subordinated Debt Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Subordinated Debt Security
that has been or is to be redeemed.

 

Section 4.04. Deposit of Redemption Price.
On or prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as
its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 5.03) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption
Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Subordinated Debt Securities
or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date, in the currency or currencies in which such Redemption Price shall be paid.

 

Section 4.05. Subordinated Debt Securities
Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Subordinated Debt Securities so to be redeemed
shall, on the Redemption Date specified in such notice, become due and payable at the applicable Redemption Price, together with interest
accrued thereon to such Redemption Date, and from and after such Redemption Date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such
Redemption Price or any such accrued interest), interest on such Subordinated Debt Securities shall cease to accrue. Upon surrender of
such Subordinated Debt Securities for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Subordinated Debt Securities shall be paid by the
Company at the applicable Redemption Price, together with interest accrued to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that installments
of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Subordinated Debt Securities,
or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of
Section 3.07.

 

If any Subordinated Debt Security called for redemption
shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal thereof and premium, if any, thereon shall, until paid, bear
interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in such Subordinated Debt Security.

 

Section 4.06. Subordinated Debt Securities
Redeemed in Part. Any Subordinated Debt Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor
(with, if the Company, the Security Registrar or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company, the Security Registrar and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized
in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Subordinated Debt Security
without service charge, a new Subordinated Debt Security or Subordinated Debt Securities of the same series, in any authorized denomination
as requested by such Holder, in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of
the Subordinated Debt Security so surrendered, except that if a Global Security is so surrendered, the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Depositary for such Global Security, without service charge, a new Global Security or Securities
in a denomination equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Global Security so surrendered.

 

    29

     

    

 

Section 4.07. Applicability of Sinking
Fund. Redemption of Subordinated Debt Securities permitted or required pursuant to a sinking fund for the retirement of Subordinated
Debt Securities of a series shall be made in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Article, except as otherwise specified
in the manner contemplated by Section 3.01 for Subordinated Debt Securities of such series.

 

The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment
provided for by the terms of Subordinated Debt Securities of any series is herein referred to as a “Mandatory Sinking Fund Payment”,
and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Subordinated Debt Securities of any series is herein referred
to as an “Optional Sinking Fund Payment”. The cash amount of any Mandatory Sinking Fund Payment shall be subject to reduction
as provided in Section 4.08.

 

Section 4.08. Mandatory and Optional Sinking
Funds. In lieu of making all or any part of any Mandatory Sinking Fund Payment with respect to any series of Subordinated Debt Securities
in cash, the Company may at its option (a) deliver to the Trustee Subordinated Debt Securities of such series therefore purchased
or otherwise acquired (except upon redemption pursuant to the mandatory sinking fund) by the Company or receive credit for Subordinated
Debt Securities of such series (not previously so credited) theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired (except as aforesaid) by the Company
and delivered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to Section 3.09, (b) receive credit for Optional Sinking Fund Payments
(not previously so credited) made pursuant to this Section 4.08, or (c) receive credit for Subordinated Debt Securities of such
series (not previously so credited) redeemed by the Company through any optional redemption provision contained in the terms of such series.
Subordinated Debt Securities so delivered or credited shall be received or credited by the Trustee at the sinking fund redemption price
specified in such Subordinated Debt Securities.

 

On or before the 45th day next preceding
each sinking fund payment date for any series, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate
(a) specifying the portion of the Mandatory Sinking Fund Payment to be satisfied by credit of Subordinated Debt Securities of
such series, (b) stating that none of the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series has theretofore been so credited,
(c) stating whether or not the Company intends to exercise its right to make an Optional Sinking Fund Payment with respect to
such series and, if so, specifying the amount of such Optional Sinking Fund Payment which the Company intends to pay on or before
the next succeeding sinking fund payment date and (d) specifying such sinking fund payment date. Any Subordinated Debt
Securities of such series to be credited and required to be delivered to the Trustee in order for the Company to be entitled to
credit therefor as aforesaid which have not theretofore been delivered to the Trustee shall be delivered for cancellation pursuant
to Section 3.09 to the Trustee with such written statement (or reasonably promptly thereafter if acceptable to the Trustee).
Such written statement shall be irrevocable and upon its receipt by the Trustee the Company shall become unconditionally obligated
to make all the cash payments or payments therein referred to, if any, on or before the next succeeding sinking fund payment date.
Failure of the Company, on or before any such 45th day, to deliver such written statement and Subordinated Debt Securities specified
in this paragraph, if any, shall not constitute a default but shall constitute, on and as of such date, the irrevocable election of
the Company (i) that the Mandatory Sinking Fund Payment for such series due on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date
shall be paid entirely in cash without the option to deliver or credit Subordinated Debt Securities of such series in respect
thereof and (ii) that the Company will make no Optional Sinking Fund Payment with respect to such series as provided in this
Section 4.08.

 

    30

     

    

 

Section 4.09. Application of Sinking
Fund Payments. If a Mandatory Sinking Fund Payment or Optional Sinking Fund Payment made in cash with respect to a particular
series of Subordinated Debt Securities, plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payments made in cash with respect to
such series, shall exceed $50,000 (or a lesser sum if the Company shall so request), such funds shall be applied by the Trustee on
the sinking fund payment date provided for in the terms of a particular series of Subordinated Debt Securities next following the
date of such payment, unless the date of such payment shall be a sinking fund payment date, in which case such payment shall be
applied on such sinking fund payment date, to a redemption of Subordinated Debt Securities of such series at the Redemption Price
specified therein. Not less than 45 days (unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) before each such sinking
fund payment date, the Trustee shall select, in the manner provided in Section 4.03, for redemption on such sinking fund
payment date, a sufficient principal amount of Subordinated Debt Securities of such series to absorb said funds, as nearly as may
be, and shall, at the expense and in the name of the Company, thereupon cause notice of the redemption of such Subordinated Debt
Securities to be given in substantially the manner provided in Section 4.02 for the redemption of Subordinated Debt Securities
in part at the option of the Company, except that the notice of redemption shall also state that such Subordinated Debt Securities
are being redeemed for the sinking fund. Any sinking fund moneys not so applied by the Trustee to the redemption of Subordinated
Debt Securities of such series shall be added to the next sinking fund payment received in funds by the Trustee and, together with
such payment, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.09. Any and all sinking fund moneys held by
the Trustee on the last sinking fund payment date with respect to Subordinated Debt Securities of such series, and not held for the
payment or redemption of particular Subordinated Debt Securities of such series, shall be applied by the Trustee to the payment of
the principal of the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series at Maturity.

 

On or prior to each sinking fund payment date,
the Company shall pay to the Trustee a sum equal to all interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption on Subordinated Debt Securities
to be redeemed on such sinking fund payment date pursuant to this Section 4.09.

 

The Trustee shall not redeem any Subordinated
Debt Securities of a series with sinking fund moneys or mail any notice of redemption of Subordinated Debt Securities of such series
by operation of the sinking fund during the continuance of any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default occurring as a consequence
of this paragraph) of which the Trustee has actual knowledge, except that if the notice of redemption of any Subordinated Debt Securities
of such series shall theretofore have been mailed in accordance with the provisions hereof, the Trustee shall redeem such Subordinated
Debt Securities if cash sufficient for the purpose shall be deposited with the Trustee in accordance with the terms of this Article 4.
Except as aforesaid, any moneys in the sinking fund at the time any such Event of Default shall occur and any moneys thereafter paid
into the sinking fund shall, during the continuation of such Event of Default, be held as security for the payment of all the Subordinated
Debt Securities of such series; provided, however, that in case such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived as provided
herein, such moneys shall thereafter be applied on the next sinking fund payment date on which such moneys are required to be applied
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.09.

 

    31

     

    

 

ARTICLE 5

Covenants

 

Section 5.01. Payment of Principal and
Interest. The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of Subordinated Debt Securities that it will duly and punctually
pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series in accordance with the terms
of the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series and this Indenture.

  

The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal
of a Subordinated Debt Security of any series at the rate of interest prescribed therefor in such Subordinated Debt Security and, to the
extent lawful, it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate.

 

At the option of the Company, payment of principal
(and premium, if any) and interest on the Subordinated Debt Securities may be made either by wire transfer or (subject to collection)
by check mailed to the address of such person entitled thereto at such address as shall appear in the Securities Register; provided
that, in connection with payment by wire transfer, the Paying Agent shall have received appropriate wire transfer instructions at least
five (5) Business Days prior to the applicable payment date.

 

Section 5.02. Maintenance of Offices or
Agencies. As long as any of the Subordinated Debt Securities shall remain outstanding, the Company will maintain or will cause to
be maintained, in each Place of Payment for any series of Subordinated Debt Securities, one or more offices or agencies where Subordinated
Debt Securities of such series may be presented or surrendered for payment, exchange and registration of transfer as provided in this
Indenture and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of this Indenture and of the Subordinated Debt Securities of
such series may be served. The Company will give written notice to the Trustee of the location of any such office or agency and of any
change in the location thereof. In case the Company shall fail to maintain any such office or agency or to give such notice of its location
or of any change in the location thereof, presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Trustee. The Company hereby initially appoints the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as its office or agency for all
the above purposes.

 

    32

     

    

 

Section 5.03. Money for Subordinated Debt
Security; Payments to be Held in Trust. If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of
Subordinated Debt Securities, then, on or before each date on which the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any of the Subordinated
Debt Securities of that series shall become payable, by their terms or as a result of the calling thereof for redemption, the Company
will set apart and segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay such principal
(and premium, if any) or interest which shall have become so payable until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed
of as herein provided, and will notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act and of any failure by any other obligor upon the
Subordinated Debt Securities of that series to make any such payment.

 

If the Company shall appoint and at the time have
a Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any series of Subordinated Debt Securities, then,
on or before the date on which the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any of the Subordinated Debt Securities of that series
shall become payable as aforesaid, the Company will pay to such Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal (and premium, if any)
or interest, to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company
will notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

 

If such Paying Agent shall be other than the Trustee,
the Company will cause such Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with
the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 5.03, (i) that such Paying Agent shall hold all sums held by it for the
payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Subordinated Debt Securities of that series in trust for the benefit
of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided; (ii) that
such Paying Agent shall give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company or any other obligor upon the Subordinated Debt Securities
of that series in the making of any payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Subordinated Debt Securities
of that series when the same shall have become due and payable; and (iii) that such Paying Agent shall, at any time during the continuance
of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by it.

 

Anything in this Section 5.03 to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any
other reason, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held in trust by it or by any Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) as required
by this Section 5.03, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company
or such Paying Agent.

 

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any
Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any
Subordinated Debt Securities of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium, if any) or
interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be
discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Subordinated Debt Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor,
look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust
money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease.

 

    33

     

    

 

Section 5.04. Corporate Existence.
Subject to Article 8, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect
its corporate existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required
to preserve any such right or franchise if the Board of Directors or senior management of the Company shall determine that the preservation
thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material
respect to the Holders.

 

Section 5.05. Annual Statement Concerning
Compliance With Covenants. The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, a written
statement signed by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, the Treasurer or
any Assistant Treasurer of the Company, stating that:

 

(a) a review of the activities of the Company
during such year with regard to its compliance with this Indenture has been made under such director or officer’s supervision; and

 

(b) to the best of such director or officer’s
knowledge , based on such review, the Company has fulfilled all its obligations under this Indenture throughout such year, or, if there
has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status
thereof.

 

Section 5.06. Compliance With Covenants
and Conditions May Be Waived By Holders of Subordinated Debt Securities. Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Company or any Subsidiary may fail or omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in
this Article 5 or in a supplemental indenture with respect to any series of Subordinated Debt Securities if the Company shall have
obtained and filed with the Trustee, before or after the time for such compliance, evidence (as provided in Article 7) of the consent
of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series at the time Outstanding,
either waiving such compliance in such instance or generally waiving compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver
shall extend to or affect any obligation not waived by the terms of such waiver or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

Section 5.07. Change of Control.

 

If a Change of Control Triggering Event
occurs, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Subordinated Debt Securities, Holders of Subordinated Debt
Securities will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of
$1,000 in excess thereof) of their Securities pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control
Offer”). In the Change of Control Offer, the Company shall offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal
amount of Subordinated Debt Securities repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Subordinated Debt Securities
repurchased, to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of
Control Triggering Event, or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of
the Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to Holders of Subordinated Debt Securities describing the transaction or
transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the Subordinated
Debt Securities on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the
date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the procedures described herein
and in such notice. The notice shall, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to
purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the payment date specified in the notice.
The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and
regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Subordinated
Debt Securities as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or
regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions herein, the Company shall be required to comply with the applicable
securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions
herein by virtue of such conflicts.

 

    34

     

    

 

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company
shall, to the extent lawful, (i) accept for payment all Subordinated Debt Securities or portions of Subordinated Debt Securities
properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; (ii) deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control
Payment in respect of all Subordinated Debt Securities or portions of Subordinated Debt Securities properly tendered; and (iii) deliver
or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Subordinated Debt Securities properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate
stating the aggregate principal amount of Subordinated Debt Securities or portions of Subordinated Debt Securities being purchased.

means the Subordinated Debt Securities are rated below an Investment Grade Rating by both of the Rating Agencies (as defined below) on
any date from the date of the public notice of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period
following public notice of the occurrence of the Change of Control (which 60-day period shall be extended so long as the rating of the
Securities is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies); provided that a Below
Investment Grade Rating Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in
respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Below Investment Grade Rating Event for purposes of the definition
of Change of Control Triggering Event) if the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise
apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the trustee in writing at the Company’s request that the reduction was
the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable
Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of the Below Investment Grade Rating
Event).

 

    35

     

    

 

“Change of Control” means the
occurrence of any of the following: (1) the direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way
of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the

Act) other than the Company or one of its subsidiaries; (2) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any
merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the

voting stock; or (3) the first day on which a majority of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors are not Continuing
Directors (as defined below). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control if (1) the
Company becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of a holding company that has agreed to be bound by the terms of the Securities and (2) the
Holders of the voting stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the Holders of
the Company’s voting stock immediately prior to that transaction.

 

“Change of Control Triggering Event”
means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event.

 

“Continuing Directors” means,
as of any date of determination, any member of the Board of Directors of the Company who (1) was a member of such Board of Directors
on the date of original issuance of the Securities; or (2) was nominated for election or elected to such Board of Directors with
the approval of a majority of the Continuing Directors who were members of such Board of Directors at the time of such nomination or election
(either by a specific vote or by approval of the Company’s proxy statement in which such member was named as a nominee for election
as a director, without objection to such nomination).

 

“Investment Grade Rating” means
a rating equal to or higher than Baa3 (or the equivalent) by Moody’s and BBB- (or the equivalent) by S&P, and the equivalent
investment grade credit rating from any replacement rating agency or rating agencies selected by the Company.

Investors Service, Inc.

 

“Rating Agencies” means
(1) each of Moody’s and S&P; and (2) if either Moody’s or S&P ceases to rate the Securities or fails
to make a rating of the Securities publicly available for reasons outside of the Company’s control, a “nationally
recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Rule 15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(F) under the Exchange Act,
selected by the Company (as certified by a Board Resolution) as a replacement agency for Moody’s or S&P, or both of them,
as the case may be.

 

“S&P” means Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of McGraw-Hill
Financial, Inc.

(a) the failure of the Company to pay any
installment of interest on any Subordinated Debt Security of such series, when and as the same shall become due and payable, which failure
shall have continued unremedied for a period of 30 days or, if interest deferral is applicable to such series pursuant to Section 3.01,
failure to pay in full the interest accrued on any Subordinated Debt Securities of such series when such interest becomes due and payable
upon the conclusion of an interest deferral period having the maximum permitted length specified pursuant to Section 3.01 and continuance
of that failure for a period of 30 days thereafter;

 

(b) the failure of the Company to pay the

maturity as therein expressed, by call for redemption (otherwise than pursuant to a sinking fund), by declaration of acceleration as authorized
by this Indenture or otherwise;

 

(c) the failure of the Company to pay a sinking
fund installment, if any, when and as the same shall become due and payable by the terms of a Subordinated Debt Security of such series,
which failure shall have continued unremedied for a period of 30 days;

substantially all of its property, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the Company’s affairs, and such decree or order
shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 90 consecutive days;

 

    37

Section 6.02. Acceleration of Maturity
on Default; Waiver. If any one or more Events of Default shall happen with respect to Subordinated Debt Securities of any series
at the time Outstanding, then, and in each and every such case, during the continuance of any such Event of Default, the Trustee or the
Holders of 25% or more in aggregate principal amount of the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series then Outstanding may, and upon
the written request of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of such Subordinated Debt Securities then Outstanding
the Trustee shall, declare the principal amount (or, if the Subordinated Debt Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities,
such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) of and all accrued but unpaid interest (if any)
on all the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series then Outstanding, if not then due and payable, to be due and payable, and upon
any such declaration the same shall become and be immediately due and payable, anything contained in this Indenture or in the Subordinated
Debt Securities of such series to the contrary notwithstanding; provided that no Event of Default with respect to Subordinated
Debt Securities of a series, except with respect to an Event of Default under Subsections (e) and (f) of Section 6.01,
shall constitute an Event of Default with respect to Subordinated Debt Securities of any other series. The foregoing provision, however,
is subject to the condition that, if at any time after the principal amount (or specified amount) of and all accrued but unpaid interest
(if any) on all the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series shall have been so declared to be due and payable, all arrears of interest,
if any, upon all the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series (with interest, to the extent that interest thereon shall be legally
enforceable, on any overdue installment of interest at the rate borne by the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series) and all amounts
owed to the Trustee and any predecessor trustee hereunder under Section 10.01(a) and all other sums payable under this Indenture
(except the principal of the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series which would not be due and payable were it not for such declaration),
shall be paid by the Company, and every other default and Event of Default under this Indenture shall have been cured to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series then Outstanding,
or provision deemed by such Holders to be adequate therefor shall have been made, then and in every such case the Holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series then Outstanding may, on behalf of the Holders of all
the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series, waive the Event of Default by reason of which the principal of the Subordinated Debt
Securities of such series shall have been so declared to be due and payable and may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences;
but no such waiver, recission or annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent
thereon. Any declaration by the Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.02 shall be by written notice to the Company, and any declaration
or waiver by the Holders of Subordinated Debt Securities of any series pursuant to this Section 6.02 shall be by written notice
to the Company and the Trustee.

 

    38

     

    

 

Section 6.03. Collection of Amounts Due
and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. If the Company shall fail for a period of 30 days to pay any installment of interest on the
Subordinated Debt Securities of any series, or shall fail to pay the principal of and premium, if any, on any of the Subordinated Debt
Securities of such series when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity, or by call for redemption (otherwise
than pursuant to a sinking fund), by declaration as authorized by this Indenture or otherwise, or shall fail for a period of 30 days to
make any sinking fund payment as to a series of Subordinated Debt Securities, then, upon demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay to
the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series then Outstanding the whole amount which
then shall have become due and payable on all the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series, with interest to the date of payment on
the overdue principal (and premium, if any) and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law on overdue
installments of interest at the same rate as the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities)
specified in the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series) on the overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the Subordinated
Debt Securities of such series, and all amounts owed to the Trustee and any predecessor trustee hereunder under Section 10.01(a).

 

Until such demand is made by the Trustee, the
Company may pay the principal of and interest on the Subordinated Debt Securities of any series to the Holders, whether or not the principal
of, and interest on, the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series be overdue.

 

In case the Company fails forthwith to pay
such amounts upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to
institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such
action or proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Company or any other
obligor upon the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series, and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable out of the
property of the Company or any other obligor upon the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series, wherever situated, in the manner
provided by law. Every recovery of judgment in any such action or other proceeding, subject to the payment to the Trustee of all
amounts owed to the Trustee and any predecessor trustee hereunder under Section 10.01(a), shall be for the ratable benefit of
the Holders of such series of Subordinated Debt Securities which shall be the subject of such action or proceeding. All rights of
action upon or under any of the Subordinated Debt Securities or this Indenture may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession
of any of the Subordinated Debt Securities and without the production of any thereof at any trial or any proceeding relative
thereto.

Section 6.04. Trustee Appointed
Attorney-in-Fact for Holders to File Claims. The Trustee is hereby appointed, and each and every Holder, by receiving and
holding Subordinated Debt Securities, shall be conclusively deemed to have appointed the Trustee, the true and lawful
attorney-in-fact of such Holder, with authority to make or file (whether or not the Company shall be in default in respect of the
payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any of the Subordinated Debt Securities), in its own name and as
trustee of an express trust or otherwise as it shall deem advisable, in any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Subordinated Debt Securities or to
their respective creditors or property, any and all claims, proofs of claim, proofs of debt, petitions, consents, other papers and
documents and amendments of any thereof, as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and any
predecessor trustee hereunder and of the Holders allowed in any such proceeding and to collect and receive any moneys or other
property payable or deliverable on any such claim, and to execute and deliver any and all other papers and documents and to do and
perform any and all other acts and things, as it may deem necessary or advisable in order to enforce in any such proceeding any of
the claims of the Trustee and any predecessor trustee hereunder and any of the Holders, and any receiver, assignee, trustee,
custodian or debtor in any such proceeding is hereby authorized, and each and every holder, by receiving and holding Subordinated
Debt Securities, shall be conclusively deemed to have authorized any such receiver, assignee, trustee, custodian or debtor to make
any such payment or delivery only to or on the order of the Trustee, and to pay to the Trustee any amount due it and any predecessor
trustee hereunder under Section 10.01(a); provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize
or empower the Trustee to consent to or accept or adopt, on behalf of any Holder, any plan of reorganization or readjustment of the
Company affecting the Subordinated Debt Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize or empower the Trustee to
vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

 

Section 6.05. Application of Moneys Collected
by Trustee. Any moneys collected by the Trustee with respect to a series of Subordinated Debt Securities under this Article 6
shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in the case of the distribution of such moneys
on account of principal (and premium, if any) or interest, upon presentation of the Subordinated Debt 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 to the
Trustee and any predecessor trustee hereunder under Section 10.01(a);

 

Second: In case the principal of the Outstanding
Subordinated Debt Securities of such series shall not have become due and be unpaid, to the payment of interest on the Subordinated
Debt Securities of such series, in the order of the Maturity of the installments of such interest, with interest (to the extent that
such interest is legally enforceable and has been collected by the Trustee) upon the overdue installments of interest at the rate borne
by such Subordinated Debt Securities, such payments to be made ratably to the Persons entitled thereto;

 

    40

     

    

 

Third: In case the principal of the Outstanding
Subordinated Debt Securities of such series shall have become due and payable, by declaration or otherwise, to the payment of the whole
amount then owing and unpaid upon the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, with
interest on the overdue principal (and premium, if any) and (to the extent that such interest is legally enforceable and has been collected
by the Trustee) upon overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series, and in case
such moneys shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amounts so due and unpaid upon the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series,
then to the payment of such principal (and premium, if any) and interest without preference or priority of principal and premium, if any,
over interest, or of interest over principal and premium, if any, or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest,
or of any Subordinated Debt Security of such series over any other Subordinated Debt Security of such series, ratably according to the
aggregate amounts of such principal (and premium, if any) and accrued and unpaid interest. The Holders of each series of Subordinated
Debt Securities denominated in any composite currency or a Foreign Currency shall be entitled to receive a ratable portion of the amount
determined by the Trustee by converting the principal amount Outstanding of such series of Subordinated Debt Securities and matured but
unpaid interest on such series of Subordinated Debt Securities in the currency in which such series of Subordinated Debt Securities is
denominated into Dollars at the applicable Exchange Rate as of the date of declaration of acceleration of the Maturity of the Subordinated
Debt Securities (or, if there is no such Exchange Rate as of such date for the reasons specified in Section 3.12(d)(i), such Exchange
Rate on the date specified in such Section).

 

Any surplus then remaining shall be paid to the
Company or to such other Persons as shall be entitled to receive it.

 

Section 6.06. Holders
May Direct Proceedings and Waive Defaults. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Subordinated Debt 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 hereunder, or of exercising any trust or power hereby conferred upon the Trustee with
respect to the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series; provided, however, that, subject to the provisions of
Section 10.01 and 10.02, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, being advised
by counsel, determines that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken or would be unduly prejudicial to Holders not joining
in such direction or would involve the Trustee in personal liability. The Trustee may take any other action which is not
inconsistent with such direction.

 

Prior to any declaration accelerating the Maturity
of the Subordinated Debt Securities of any series, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Subordinated
Debt Securities of such series may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series waive any past
default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any)
or interest on any Subordinated Debt Security of such series. Upon any such waiver the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Subordinated
Debt Securities of such series shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively, but no such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any default or Event of
Default hereunder shall have been waived as permitted by this Section 6.06, said default or Event of Default shall for all purposes
of the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series and this Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing.

 

    41

     

    

 

 

Section 6.07. Limitations on Right of
Holders to Institute Proceedings. No Holder of any Subordinated Debt Security of any series shall have any right to institute an action,
suit or proceeding at law or in equity with respect to this Indenture, or for the execution of any trust hereunder or for the appointment
of a receiver or for any other remedy hereunder, in each case with respect to an Event of Default with respect to such series of Subordinated
Debt Securities, unless (i) such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of the occurrence and continuation
of one or more Events of Default with respect to such series of Subordinated Debt Securities; (ii) the Holders of 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Subordinated Debt Securities of such series shall have requested the Trustee in writing to take action
in respect of the matter complained of; and (iii) unless such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee security and indemnity
satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby and the Trustee, for 60 days after receipt
of such notification, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding,
and such notification, request and offer of indemnity are hereby declared in every such case to be conditions precedent to any such action,
suit or proceeding by any Holder of any Subordinated Debt Security of such series, it being understood and intended that no one or more
of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by his or their action to enforce any right hereunder, except in the manner
herein provided, and that every action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity shall be instituted, had and maintained in the manner herein
provided and for the equal benefit of all Holders of the Outstanding Subordinated Debt Securities of such series; provided, however,
that nothing contained in this Indenture or in the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series shall affect or impair the obligation of
the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 3.07) interest
on the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series to the respective Holders of such Subordinated Debt Securities at the Stated Maturity
or Maturities expressed in such Subordinated Debt Securities, or affect or impair the right, which is also absolute and unconditional,
of such Holders to institute suit to enforce any such payment.

 

Section 6.08. Assessment of Costs and
Attorneys’ Fees in Legal Proceedings. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Subordinated Debt Security
by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any action, suit or proceeding
for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any action, suit or proceeding against the Trustee for any action
taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such action, suit or proceeding of an undertaking to pay the costs
of such action, suit or proceeding, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’
fees, against any party litigant in such action, suit or proceeding, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or
defenses made by such party litigant; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 6.08 shall not apply to any
action, suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee, to any action, suit or proceeding instituted by any one or more Holders holding
in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Subordinated Debt Securities of any series, or to any action, suit
or proceeding instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any
of the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series, on or after the respective Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Subordinated
Debt Securities (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

 

    42

     

    

 

Section 6.09. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.
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
rights or remedy or remedies, and each and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and shall be in
addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise.

 

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any
Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be
construed to be a waiver of any such default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein, and every right and remedy given by this
Article 6 to the Trustee and to the Holders, respectively, 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.

 

In case the Trustee or any Holder shall have proceeded
to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and the proceedings for the enforcement thereof shall have been discontinued or abandoned
because of waiver or for any other reason or shall have been adjudicated adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every
such case the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder,
and thereafter all rights, remedies and powers of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken,
except as to any matters so waived or adjudicated.

 

ARTICLE 7

Actions
by Holders

 

Section 7.01. Actions by Holders.
Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the Holders of a specified percentage or a majority in aggregate principal amount of Outstanding
Subordinated Debt Securities of any series may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice,
consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), such action may be taken by (a) a meeting of the Holders in accordance with
Article 8 or (b) by any instrument or instruments of a substantially similar tenor executed and delivered by the requisite number
of Holders in accordance with the provisions of this Article 7.

 

    43

     

    

 

Section 7.02. Instruments. In order
to be effective to take any action under this Article 7, an instrument shall (a) be in writing, (b) express the action
to be taken, (c) be executed by or on behalf of a Holder who is such (i) if such instruments have been requested by the Company
or the Trustee pursuant to a written notice mailed to all Holders of the affected series, on the date such notice is mailed or (ii) in
any other case, on the date the first instrument expressing such action is delivered to the Trustee, and (d) indicate the principal
amount of Subordinated Debt Securities to which the instrument relates. Each such instrument must be duly acknowledged or witnessed. If
such instrument is executed by a Person other than the Holder, then such instrument shall include, or be accompanied by proof acceptable
to the Trustee of, such Person’s authority to execute the instrument.

 

The ownership of Subordinated Debt Securities
shall be proved by the Security Register. The Trustee may accept such other proof or may require such additional proof of any other matter
referred to in this Section 7.02 as it shall reasonably deem appropriate or necessary.

 

Section 7.03. Determining Principal Amount
of Outstanding Subordinated Debt Securities. In determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Subordinated
Debt Securities have given any authorization, demand, direction, request, notice, waiver or consent or taken any other action under this
Indenture, Subordinated Debt Securities owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Debt Securities or any Affiliate
of the Company or such other obligor shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding, except that for the purpose of determining
whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such authorization, demand, direction, request, notice, waiver, consent or action,
only Subordinated Debt Securities which the Trustee knows are so owned shall be disregarded. Subordinated Debt Securities so owned which
have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding for the purposes of this Section 7.03 if the pledgee shall establish
to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to vote such Subordinated Debt Securities and that the pledgee is not the
Company or any other obligor upon the Subordinated Debt Securities or any Affiliate of the Company or such other obligor. In case of a
dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee.

 

For purposes of determining the principal amount
of Outstanding Subordinated Debt Securities of any series the Holders of which are required, requested or permitted to give any request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or take any other action under this Indenture, (i) each Original Issue
Discount Security shall be deemed to have the principal amount determined by the Trustee that could be declared to be due and payable
pursuant to the terms of such Original Issue Discount Security as of a date fixed by the Trustee and (ii) each Subordinated Debt
Security denominated in a Foreign Currency or composite currency shall be deemed to have the principal amount determined by the Trustee
by translating the principal amount of such Subordinated Debt Security in the currency in which such Subordinated Debt Security is denominated
into Dollars at the applicable Exchange Rate as of a date fixed by the Trustee.

 

    44

     

    

 

Upon receipt of instruments representing the Holders
of a sufficient amount of Subordinated Debt Securities to take the action stated thereon, the Trustee shall promptly tabulate such instruments
and deliver a report thereof to the Company.

 

Section 7.04. Revocation by Holders of
Consents to Action. At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 7.01, of the taking
of any action by the Holders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Subordinated Debt Securities of any series, any Holder of a Subordinated
Debt Security that is shown by the evidence to be included among the Subordinated Debt Securities whose Holders consented to such action
may, by filing written notice with the Trustee and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 7.02, revoke such action so far as
concerns such Subordinated Debt Security. Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by the Holder of any Subordinated Debt Security shall
be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of the same Subordinated Debt Security and the Holder of every
Subordinated Debt Security issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, irrespective of whether or not
any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Subordinated Debt Security or any Subordinated Debt Security issued in exchange or substitution
therefor.

 

ARTICLE 8

Successor
Corporation

 

Section 8.01. Company May Not Consolidate, etc.,
Except Under Certain Conditions. The Company covenants that it will not merge or consolidate with any other Person or sell, convey,
transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to any other Person, unless (i) either the Company shall
be the continuing corporation, or the successor Person (if other than the Company) shall be a corporation or a limited liability company
organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof or the District of Columbia and such corporation
or limited liability company, as the case may be, shall expressly assume the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and premium,
if any, and interest, if any, on all the Subordinated Debt Securities according to their tenor, and the due and punctual performance and
observance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Company by supplemental indenture in form satisfactory
to the Trustee, executed and delivered to the Trustee by such corporation or limited liability company, as the case may be, and (ii) the
Company or such successor corporation or limited liability company, as the case may be, shall not, immediately after such merger or consolidation,
or such sale, conveyance, transfer or other disposition, be in default in the performance of any such covenant or condition. In the event
of any such merger, consolidation, sale, conveyance (other than by way of lease), transfer or other disposition, the predecessor company
may be dissolved, wound up and liquidated at any time thereafter.

 

    45

     

    

 

Section 8.02. Successor Corporation or
Limited Liability Company to be Substituted. Subject to compliance with Section 8.01, nothing contained in this Indenture or
in the Subordinated Debt Securities shall be deemed to prevent the consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation,
or the merger into the Company of any other corporation, or the sale or lease by the Company of its property and assets as, or substantially
as, an entirety, or otherwise.

 

In case of any such merger, consolidation,
sale, conveyance (other than by way of lease), transfer or other disposition, and upon any such assumption by the successor
corporation or limited liability company, such successor corporation or limited liability company shall succeed to and be
substituted for the Company, with the same effect as if it had been named herein as the Company, and the Company shall be relieved
of any further obligation under this Indenture and under the Subordinated Debt Securities. Such successor corporation or limited
liability company thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of Bath & Body
Works, Inc., any or all of the Securities issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and
delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such successor corporation or limited liability company, instead of the Company,
and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall
deliver any Subordinated Debt Securities which previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers of the Company to the
Trustee for authentication, and any Subordinated Debt Securities which such successor corporation or limited liability company
thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All the Subordinated Debt Securities so issued
shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Subordinated Debt Securities theretofore or
thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Subordinated Debt Securities had been issued
at the date of the execution hereof.

 

In case of any such merger, consolidation, sale,
conveyance, transfer or other disposition, such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the Subordinated
Debt Securities thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate.

 

Section 8.03. Documents to be Given to
the Trustee. The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Article 10, shall be provided with an Officers’ Certificate and
an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or other disposition complies
with the provisions of this Article 8.

 

ARTICLE 9

Section 9.01. Reports by Trustee.

 

(a) The Trustee shall transmit to Holders
such reports concerning the Trustee and its actions under this Indenture as may be required pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act at the
times and in the manner provided pursuant thereto. If required by Section 313(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall,
within sixty days after each May 15 following the date of the initial issuance of Securities under this Indenture deliver to Holders
a brief report, dated as of such May 15, which complies with the provisions of such

Section 313(a).

 

    46

     

    

 

(b) A copy of each such report shall, at
the time of such transmission to Holders, be filed by the Trustee with each stock exchange, if any, upon which the Securities are listed,
with the Commission and with the Company. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing when the Securities are listed on any
stock exchange and of any delisting thereof.

 

Section 9.02. Reports by the Company.

 

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

 

(b) Additional Information to Be Filed
with Trustee and Commission. The Company will file with the Trustee and the Commission, in accordance with rules and
regulations prescribed by the Commission, such additional information, documents and reports with respect to compliance by the

in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 901(c), such summaries of any information, documents and reports required to
be filed by the Company pursuant to the provisions of Subsections (a) and (b) above as may be required by rules and regulations
prescribed from time to time by the Commission.

 

(d) Delivery of such reports, information
and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive
notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance
with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

 

    47

     

    

 

Section 9.03. Holders’ Lists.

 

(a) Names and Addresses of Holders. The Company
covenants and agrees that it will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee with respect to the Subordinated Debt Securities of
each series for which it acts as Trustee:

 

(i) at least semi-annually, within
15 days after each Regular Record Date with respect to such Subordinated Debt Securities, a list in such form as the Trustee may reasonably
require of the names and addresses of the Holders of such Subordinated Debt Securities, as of such Regular Record Date; and

 

(ii) at such other times as the
Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after receipt by the Company of any such request, a list of similar form and content as
of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such list is furnished; provided, however, that so long as the Trustee shall
be the Security Registrar, no such list need be furnished.

 

(b) Trustee to Preserve Information. The
Trustee will preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, all information as to the names and addresses of Holders so
furnished or caused to be furnished to it by the Company or received by it in its capacity as Paying Agent or Security Registrar. The
Trustee may (1) destroy any information furnished to it as provided in Subsection (a) above upon receipt of new similar information
so furnished to it; and (2) destroy any information received by it as Paying Agent or Security Registrar, but not until 45 days after
a subsequent interest payment shall have been made.

 

(c) Trustee to Furnish Certain Information
to Holders on Request. Promptly after receipt by the Trustee of a written application by any three or more Holders (hereinafter referred
to as the “applicants”) stating that such applicants desire to communicate with other Holders with respect to their
rights under this Indenture or under the Subordinated Debt Securities, and accompanied by a copy of the form of proxy or other communication
which such applicants propose to transmit, and by reasonable proof that each such applicant has owned a Subordinated Debt Security for
a period of at least six months preceding the date of such application, the Trustee shall, at its election, either

 

(i) afford to such applicants
access to all information furnished to, or received by, and preserved by, the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.03;
or

 

(ii) inform such applicants as
to the approximate number of Holders according to the most recent information so furnished to, or received by, and preserved by, the Trustee,
and as to the approximate cost of mailing to such Holders the form of proxy or other communication, if any, specified in such application.

 

    48

     

    

 

If the Trustee shall elect not to afford to
such applicants access to such information, the Trustee shall, upon the written request of such applicants, mail to each Holder
whose name and address are contained in the information so furnished to, or received by, and preserved by, the Trustee, a copy of
the form of proxy or other communication which is specified in such request, with reasonable promptness after a tender to the
Trustee of the material to be mailed and of payment, or provision for the payment, of the reasonable expenses of such mailing,
unless, within five days after such tender, the Trustee shall mail to such applicants and file with the Commission, together with a
copy of the material to be mailed, a written statement to the effect that, in the opinion of the Trustee, such mailing would be
contrary to the best interests of the Holders or would be in violation of applicable law. Such written statement shall specify the
basis of such opinion. If the Commission, after opportunity for a hearing upon the objections specified in the written statement so
filed, shall enter an order refusing to sustain any of the objections specified in the written statement so filed, or if, after the
entry of an order sustaining one or more of such objections, the Commission shall find, after notice and opportunity for hearing,
that all objections so sustained have been met, and shall enter an order so declaring, the Trustee shall mail copies of such
material to all such Holders with reasonable promptness after the entry of such order and the renewal of such tender; otherwise the
Trustee shall be relieved of any obligation or duty to such applicants respecting their application.

 

Each and every Holder of a Subordinated Debt Security,
by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Company and the Trustee that none of the Company, 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 the provisions of this Subsection (c), 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 this Subsection (c).

 

ARTICLE 10

Concerning
The Trustee

  

Section 10.01. Acceptance of Trusts Upon
Specified Conditions. The Trustee accepts the trusts created by this Indenture upon the terms and conditions hereof, including the
following, to all of which the parties hereto and the Holders from time to time of the Subordinated Debt Securities agree:

 

(a) Trustee Entitled to Compensation and
Expenses; Indemnification. The Trustee shall be entitled to such compensation as is agreed upon in writing for all services rendered
by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express
trust), and the Company agrees to pay such compensation, and all other reasonable expenses (including the fees and expenses of Trustee’s
counsel), disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee hereunder, promptly on demand from time to time as such services
shall be rendered and as such expenses shall be incurred. The Company also agrees to indemnify each of the Trustee and any predecessor
trustee hereunder for, and to hold it or them harmless against, any loss, liability, claim, damage, cost or expense incurred without
its or their own negligence or willful misconduct, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust
or trusts hereunder and the performance of its or their duties, as well as the costs and expenses of defending itself or themselves against
any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its or their powers or duties hereunder. As security
for the performance of the obligations of the Company under this Subsection (a), the Trustee shall have a lien therefor on any moneys
held by the Trustee hereunder prior to any rights therein of the Holders. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Indenture to the contrary,
the obligations of the Company to indemnify the Trustee under this Section 10.01(a) shall survive any satisfaction and discharge
under Article 11.

with such advice.

 

(e) Trustee May Rely Upon Certificate

mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by, and whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable
that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, offering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee may rely upon, an Officers’
Certificate (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed).

liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Company.

 

(h) Action at Request of or with Consent
of Holder Binding on Future Holders. Any action taken by the Trustee pursuant to any provision hereof at the request or with the consent
of any Person who at the time is the Holder of any Subordinated Debt Security shall be conclusive and binding in respect of any such Subordinated
Debt Security upon all future Holders thereof or of any Subordinated Debt Security or Securities that may be issued for or in lieu thereof
in whole or in part, whether or not such Subordinated Debt Security shall have noted thereon the fact that such request or consent had
been made or given.

 

(i) Trustee May Rely on Instruments
Believed by It to Be Genuine. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.02, the Trustee may rely conclusively and shall be fully protected
in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent,

of this Indenture, unless one or more Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs,
expenses and liabilities that may be incurred by it therein or thereby.

 

(k) Trustee Not Liable for Action Taken or
Omitted in Good Faith. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.02, the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted

Indenture.

 

(l) Trustee Not Bound to Make
Investigation. Subject to the provisions of the first paragraph of Section 10.02, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any
investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture or other paper or document (including mathematical calculations therein).

 

(m) Trustee Not Deemed to Have Knowledge
of Default. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.02, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of any default
or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless the Holders of not less than 25%
of the Outstanding Subordinated Debt Securities of any series notify the Trustee in writing thereof.

 

    51

     

    

 

(n) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible
or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit)
irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

 

(o) The rights, privileges, protections,
immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be
enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

 

Section 10.02. Duties of Trustee in Case
of Default. If one or more Events of Default with respect to the Subordinated Debt Securities of any series shall have happened, then,
during the continuance thereof, the Trustee shall, with respect to the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series, exercise such of the
rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and shall use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person
would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

 

None of the provisions of this Indenture shall
be construed as relieving the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful
misconduct, except that, anything contained in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding:

 

(a) When No Default Subsisting. Unless and
until an Event of Default with respect to the Subordinated Debt Securities of any series shall have happened, which at the time is continuing,

 

(i) the Trustee undertakes to
perform such duties and only such duties with respect to the Subordinated Debt Securities of that series as are specifically set out in
this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee, whose duties and obligations
shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture; and

 

(ii) the Trustee may conclusively
rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, in the absence of bad faith on the part
of the Trustee, upon certificates and opinions furnished to it pursuant to the express provisions of this Indenture; but in the case of
any such certificates or opinions which, by the provisions of this Indenture, are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee,
the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but
need not investigate mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein);

 

(b) Trustee Not Liable for Error of Judgment
Made in Good Faith by Responsible Officer. The Trustee shall not be liable to any Holder or to any other Person for error of judgment
made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining
the pertinent facts; and

  

    52

     

    

 

(c) Trustee Not Liable for Certain Action
or Non-Action at Direction of Holders of Majority of Subordinated Debt Securities. The Trustee shall not be liable to any Holder or to
any other Person with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith, in accordance with the direction of Holders
given as provided in Section 6.06, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to
it or exercising any trust or power conferred upon it by this Indenture.

 

None of the provisions of this Indenture shall
be construed as requiring the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to incur any personal financial liability in the performance
of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its right or remedies, if there shall be reasonable grounds for believing
that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

 

Section 10.03. Notice to Holders of Defaults.
Within 90 days after the occurrence thereof, the Trustee shall give to the Holders of the Subordinated Debt Securities of a series, as
provided in Section 901(c), notice of each default with respect to the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series known to the Trustee,
unless such default shall have been cured before the giving of such notice (the term “default” for the purposes of this Section 10.03
being hereby defined to be the events specified in Section 6.01, which are, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become,
Events of Default as defined in said Section); but, unless such default be the failure to pay the principal of (or premium, if any) or
interest on any of the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series when and as the same shall become due and payable, or to make any sinking
fund payment as to Subordinated Debt Securities of the same series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice, if and
so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in
good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Subordinated Debt Securities of such
series.

 

Section 10.04. Resignation of Trustee
and Notice Thereof. The Trustee, or any successor to it hereafter appointed, may at any time resign and be discharged of the trusts
hereby created with respect to any one or more or all series of Subordinated Debt Securities by giving to the Company notice in writing
and by mailing notice thereof to the Holders of the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series at their addresses as the same shall then
appear in the Security Register. Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Trustee and the acceptance of
such appointment by such successor Trustee. Any Trustee hereunder may be removed with respect to any series of Subordinated Debt Securities
at any time by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Subordinated Debt Securities of such series,
acting pursuant to the provisions of Article 7 or Article 8.

 

Upon its resignation or removal, any Trustee shall
be entitled to the payment of reasonable compensation for the services rendered hereunder by such Trustee and to the payment of all reasonable
expenses incurred hereunder and all moneys then due to it hereunder. The Trustee’s rights to indemnification provided in Section 10.01(a) shall
survive its resignation or removal.

 

    53

     

    

 

Section 10.05. Qualifications of Trustee.
There shall at all times be a Trustee under this Indenture, and such Trustee shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business
under the laws of the United States or of any State, which is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and is subject
to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority and which has a combined capital and surplus of not less than $10,000,000.
For the purposes of this Section 10.05, the combined capital and surplus of any such Trustee shall be deemed to be the combined capital
and surplus as set forth in the most recent report of its condition published by such Trustee; provided that such reports are published
at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of a Federal or State supervising or examining authority. If such Trustee or
any successor shall at any time cease to have the qualifications prescribed in this Section 10.05, it shall promptly resign as Trustee
hereunder.

 

Section 10.06. Disqualification of Trustee
by Reason of Conflicting Interest.

 

(a) Trustee to Resign. If the Trustee has
or shall acquire any conflicting interest, as the term “conflicting interest” is defined in the Trust Indenture Act of 1939,
with respect to the Subordinated Debt Securities of any series, the Trustee shall, within 90 days after ascertaining that it has such
conflicting interest, either eliminate such conflicting interest or resign with respect to the Subordinated Debt Securities of that series,
such resignation to become effective upon the appointment of a successor Trustee and the acceptance by such successor Trustee of such
appointment. If the Trustee shall resign, the Company shall take prompt steps to have a successor appointed in the manner provided in
Section 10.07.

 

(b) Notice to Holders of Failure to Resign.
In the event that the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Subsection (a) above, the Trustee shall, within ten days
after the expiration of such 90 day period, transmit notice of its failure in that regard to the Holders as provided in Section 901(c).

 

(c) Right of Holders to Petition for Removal
of Trustee. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.07, any Holder of a Subordinated Debt Security of any series, who has been a bona
fide Holder of a Subordinated Debt Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly
situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to the Subordinated Debt Securities
of that series and the appointment of a successor Trustee, if the Trustee shall fail, after written request therefor by such Holder, to
comply with the provisions of Subsection (a) above.

 

    54

     

    

 

Section 10.07. Appointment of
Successor Trustee. In case at any time the Trustee shall resign, or shall be removed (unless the Trustee shall be removed as
provided in Subsection (c) of Section 10.06, in which event the vacancy shall be filled as provided in said Subsection),
or shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or if a receiver of the Trustee or of its
property shall be appointed, or if any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property of affairs for
the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation with respect to the Subordinated Debt Securities of one or more series, a
successor Trustee with respect to the Subordinated Debt Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such
successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Subordinated Debt Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at
any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Subordinated Debt Securities of any series) may be appointed by the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Subordinated Debt Securities of that or those series, by an
instrument or instruments in writing signed in duplicate by such Holders and filed, one original thereof with the Company and the
other with the successor Trustee; but, until a successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Holders of Subordinated Debt
Securities of that or those series as herein authorized, the Company by Board Resolution, or, in case all or substantially all the
assets of the Company shall be in the possession of one or more custodians or receivers lawfully appointed, or of trustees in
bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings (including a trustee or trustees appointed under the provisions of the Federal bankruptcy
laws, as now or hereafter constituted), or of assignees for the benefit of creditors, such receivers, custodians, trustees or
assignees, as the case may be, by an instrument in writing, shall appoint a successor Trustee with respect to the Subordinated Debt
Securities of such series. Subject to the provisions of Sections 10.04, 10.05 and 10.06, upon the appointment as aforesaid of a
successor Trustee with respect to the Subordinated Debt Securities of any series, the Trustee with respect of the Subordinated Debt
Securities of such series shall cease to be Trustee hereunder. After any such appointment (other than by the Holders of Subordinated
Debt Securities of that or those series) the person making such appointment shall forthwith cause notice thereof to be mailed to the
Holders of Subordinated Debt Securities of such series at their addresses as the same shall then appear on the Security Register;
but any successor Trustee with respect to the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series so appointed shall immediately and without
further act, be superseded by a successor Trustee appointed by the Holders of Subordinated Debt Securities of such series in the
manner above prescribed, if such appointment be made prior to the expiration of one year from the date of the mailing of such notice
by the Company, or by such receivers, trustees or assignees.

 

If any Trustee with respect to the Subordinated
Debt Securities of one or more series shall resign because of conflict of interest as provided in Section 10.06(a) and a successor
Trustee shall not have been appointed by the Company or by the Holders of the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series or, if any successor
Trustee so appointed shall not have accepted its appointment within 30 days after such appointment shall have been made, the resigning
Trustee may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. If in any other case a successor
Trustee shall not be appointed pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.07 within three months after such appointment
might have been made hereunder, the Holder of any Subordinated Debt Security of the applicable series or any retiring Trustee may apply
to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Trustee. Such court may thereupon, in any such case, after such notice,
if any, as such court may deem proper, appoint a successor Trustee.

 

    55

     

    

 

Any successor Trustee appointed hereunder
with respect to the Subordinated Debt Securities of one or more series shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor
Trustee and to the Company, or to the receivers, trustees, assignees or court appointing it, as the case may be, an instrument
accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
become vested with all the authority, rights, powers, trusts, immunities, duties and obligations with respect to such series of such
predecessor Trustee with like effect as if originally named as Trustee hereunder, and such predecessor Trustee, upon payment of its
charges and disbursements then unpaid, shall thereupon become obligated to pay over, and such successor Trustee shall be entitled to
receive, all moneys and properties held by such predecessor Trustee as Trustee hereunder. Nevertheless, on the written request of
the Company or of the successor Trustee or of the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Subordinated Debt Securities of such series, such predecessor Trustee, upon payment of its said charges and disbursements, shall
execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee upon the trusts herein expressed all the rights, powers and
trusts of such predecessor Trustee and shall assign, transfer and deliver to the successor Trustee all moneys and properties held by
such predecessor Trustee; and, upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall make, execute, acknowledge and deliver
any and all instruments in writing for more fully and effectually vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such
authority, rights, powers, trusts, immunities, duties and obligations.

 

Section 10.08. Merger, Conversion or Consolidation
of Trustee or Transfer of its Corporate Trust Business; Authentication of Subordinated Debt Securities by Successor Trustee. Any corporation
into which the Trustee or any successor to it in the trusts created by this Indenture shall be merged or converted, or any corporation
with which it or any successor to it shall be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation
to which the Trustee or any such successor to it shall be a party, or any corporation to which the Trustee or any successor to it shall
sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor Trustee under
this Indenture without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

 

In case at the time such successor to the Trustee
shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture with respect to one or more series of Subordinated Debt Securities, any of such
Subordinated Debt Securities shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate
of authentication of any predecessor Trustee, and deliver such Subordinated Debt Securities so authenticated; and in case at that time
any of the Subordinated Debt Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Subordinated
Debt Securities either in the name of any predecessor Trustee hereunder or in the name of the successor Trustee; and in all such cases
such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Subordinated Debt Securities or in this Indenture provided
that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.

 

Section 10.09. Trustee May Rely
on Officers’ Certificate. Subject to Section 10.02, and subject to the provisions of Section 15.02 with respect to
the certificates required thereby, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary
or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence
in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed
to be conclusively proved and established by an Officers’ Certificate with respect thereto delivered to the Trustee, and such Officers’
Certificate, in the absence of negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for
any action taken, suffered to be taken or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof.

Section 11.01. Discharge of Indenture
Upon Payment of Subordinated Debt Securities. If and when the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on all the Outstanding
Subordinated Debt Securities of any series and all other sums due hereunder (other than any Securities of such series which shall have
been destroyed, lost or stolen and which shall have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.06) shall have been fully paid,
this Indenture shall cease and terminate, and, upon receipt of a Company Request accompanied by the Officers’ Certificate and Opinion
of Counsel required by Section 15.02, and upon proof being given to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee that all the Subordinated
Debt Securities have been paid or satisfied, and upon payment of the costs, charges and expenses incurred or to be incurred by the Trustee
in relation thereto or in carrying out the provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee shall cancel this Indenture and execute and deliver
to the Company such instruments as shall be requisite to evidence the satisfaction hereof.

 

If at any time no Subordinated Debt
Securities have been issued and authenticated or if all previously issued and authenticated Subordinated Debt Securities of any
series have been cancelled or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (other than any Securities of such series which shall have
been destroyed, lost or stolen and which shall have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.06), upon receipt of a
Company Request accompanied by the Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel required by Section 15.02, and upon
payment of the costs, charges and expenses incurred or to be incurred by the Trustee in relation thereto or in carrying out the
provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee shall cancel this Indenture and execute and deliver to the Company such instruments as
shall be requisite to evidence the satisfaction hereof.

 

Section 11.02. Discharge of
Indenture Upon Deposit of Moneys. If, at the Maturity of the Subordinated Debt Securities of any series, the Company shall
deposit with the Trustee, in trust for the benefit of the Holders thereof, Cash or Government Obligations, maturing as to principal
and interest in such amounts and at such times as will insure the availability of cash sufficient (in case Government Obligations
have been so deposited, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written
certification thereof delivered to the Trustee) to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on all of the Outstanding
Subordinated Debt Securities of such series (other than any Securities of such series which shall have  been destroyed, lost or
stolen and which shall have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.06), and shall pay all costs, charges and expenses
incurred or to be incurred by the Trustee in relation thereto or in carrying out the provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee, upon
receipt of a Company Request accompanied by the Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel required by Section 15.02,
shall cancel and satisfy this Indenture with respect to the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series. The Trustee shall apply the
moneys so deposited to the payment to the Holders of the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series of all sums due thereon for
principal (and premium, if any) and interest.

 

    57

     

    

 

Section 11.03. Discharge of Certain Indebtedness
Upon Deposit of Moneys. If this Section 11.03 is specified in the manner contemplated by Section 3.01 to be applicable to
Subordinated Debt Securities of any series, the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness on all Outstanding
Subordinated Debt Securities of such series if the Company shall (a) deposit with the Trustee, in trust for the benefit of the Holders
thereof, (1) Cash or Government Obligations, maturing as to principal and interest in such amounts and at such times as will insure
the availability of cash sufficient (in case Government Obligations have been so deposited, in the opinion of a nationally recognized
firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee) to pay or (2) such
amount of Government Obligations as will or will together with the income thereon, without consideration of any reinvestment thereof,
be sufficient to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series, as such payments
shall become due from time to time, and (b) pay or make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for paying all costs, charges and
expenses incurred by the Trustee in relation thereto or in carrying out the provisions of this Indenture in relation thereto, then this
Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to Subordinated Debt Securities of such series (except as to (i) rights
of registration of transfer, substitution and exchange of Subordinated Debt Securities of such series, (ii) rights of Holders to
receive payments of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series as such payments
shall become due from time to time and other rights, duties and obligations of Holders as beneficiaries hereof with respect to the amounts
so deposited with the Trustee, (iii) provisions, if any, applicable to such series relating to optional redemption and Mandatory
and Optional Sinking Fund Payments and (iv) the rights, obligations and immunities of the Trustee hereunder (for which purposes the
Subordinated Debt Securities of such series shall be deemed Outstanding)), and the Company shall have no further obligations or liability
with respect to any Subordinated Debt Securities of such series.

 

In any such case the Trustee, upon receipt of
a Company Request accompanied by the Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel required by Section 15.02, shall execute
and deliver to the Company such instruments as shall be requisite to evidence the satisfaction thereof with respect to Subordinated Debt
Securities of such series. The Trustee shall apply the amounts so deposited and the proceeds thereof to the payment to the Holders of
the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series of all sums due thereon for principal (and premium, if any) and interest.

 

    58

     

    

 

Section 11.04. Termination of
Certain Obligations Upon Deposit of Moneys. If this Section 11.04 is specified in the manner contemplated by
Section 3.01 to be applicable to Subordinated Debt Securities of any series, the Company’s obligations on all
Subordinated Debt Securities of such series shall be deemed to be terminated on the 91st day after the Company deposits with the
Trustee, in trust for the benefit of the Holders thereof, (a) funds sufficient to pay, or (b) such amount of Government
Obligations as will or will together with the income thereon, without consideration of any reinvestment thereof, be sufficient to
pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on all of the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series, as such payments
shall become due from time to time; provided, however, that no Event of Default under Section 6.01(d) or
6.01(e) or event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such an Event of Default, shall have occurred
and be continuing on such date; and provided further that such termination shall not relieve the Company of its obligations
under the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series and this Indenture to pay when due the principal of (and premium, if any) and
interest on the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series if not paid (or considered paid) when due from the funds and Government
Obligations (and the income thereon) so deposited. Notwithstanding the termination of any obligations of the Company in accordance
with this Section 11.04, the Company’s rights and obligations under Sections 3.05, 3.06, 5.01, 5.02, 5.03, 9.03, 10.01,
10.04, 11.05 and 11.06, and provisions, if any, applicable to such series relating to optional redemption and Mandatory and Optional
Sinking Fund Payments, shall survive until the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series are no longer Outstanding. Thereafter the
Company’s rights and obligations under Sections 10.01, 11.05 and 11.06 shall survive.

 

After a deposit as provided herein, the Trustee,
upon receipt of a Company Request, shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture
with respect to Subordinated Debt Securities of a particular series except for those surviving obligations specified above. The Trustee
shall apply the amounts so deposited and the proceeds thereof to the payment to the Holders of the Subordinated Debt Securities of such
series of all sums due thereon for principal (and premium, if any) and interest.

 

Section 11.05. Certain Deposits With the
Trustee To Be Held in Escrow. Any deposits with the Trustee referred to in Section 11.03 or 11.04 shall be irrevocable (except
to the extent provided in Section 11.06) and shall be made under the terms of an escrow trust agreement in form and substance satisfactory
to the Trustee. If any Outstanding Subordinated Debt Securities of a series are to be redeemed prior to their Stated Maturity, whether
pursuant to any optional redemption provisions or in accordance with any Mandatory or Optional Sinking Fund Payments, the applicable escrow
trust agreement shall provide therefor, and the Company shall make such arrangements as are satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving
of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company. The agreement shall provide that, upon satisfaction
of any Mandatory Sinking Fund Payments, whether by deposit of funds, application of proceeds of deposited Government Obligations or, if
permitted, by delivery of Subordinated Debt Securities, the Trustee shall pay or deliver over to the Company as excess funds pursuant
to Section 11.06 all funds or obligations then held under the agreement and allocable to the Mandatory Sinking Fund Payments so satisfied.

 

    59

     

    

 

If Subordinated Debt Securities of a series with
respect to which such deposits are made may be subject to later redemption at the option of the Company or pursuant to Optional Sinking
Fund Payments, the applicable escrow trust agreement may, at the option of the Company, provide therefor. In the case of an optional redemption
in whole or in part, such agreement shall require the Company to deposit with the Trustee on or before the date on which notice of redemption
is given funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of the Subordinated Debt Securities to be redeemed together with all unpaid interest
thereon to the Redemption Date. Upon such deposit of funds, the Trustee shall pay or deliver over to the Company as excess funds pursuant
to Section 11.06 all funds or obligations then held under such agreement and allocable to the Subordinated Debt Securities to be
redeemed. In the case of exercise of optional Sinking Fund Payment rights by the Company, such agreement may, at the option of the Company,
provide that upon deposit by the Company with the Trustee of funds pursuant to such exercise the Trustee shall pay or deliver over to
the Company as excess funds pursuant to Section 11.06 all funds or obligations then held under such agreement for such series and
allocable to the Subordinated Debt Securities to be redeemed.

 

Section 11.06. Repayment to Company.
The Trustee and any Paying Agent shall promptly pay or return to the Company upon Company Request any money or Government Obligations
held by them at any time that are not required for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Subordinated
Debt Securities of any series for which money or Government Obligations have been deposited, including any such money or Government Obligations
held by the Trustee under any escrow trust agreement entered into pursuant to Section 11.05.

 

The provisions of the last paragraph of Section 5.03
shall apply to any money held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent under this Article that remains unclaimed for two years after the
Maturity of any series of Subordinated Debt Securities for which money or Government Obligations have been deposited pursuant to Article 11.

 

Section 11.07. Reinstatement. If
the Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any money and/or Government Obligations deposited in trust in accordance with
Section 11.03 or 11.04 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 (including any such order or judgment requiring the
payment of such money and/or Government Obligations to the Company), the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the
Subordinated Debt Securities shall be revived and reinstated as of such date, until such time as the Trustee or such Paying Agent is
permitted to apply all such money and/or Government Obligations in accordance with Section 11.03 or 11.04, as the case may be; provided,
however, that if the Company has made any payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Subordinated Debt
Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be entitled to receive the aggregate amount of such
payments from the Trustee or such Paying Agent as excess funds pursuant to Section 11.06. In the event that for any reason the
Trustee or such Paying Agent is unable to pay any such amount pursuant to Section 11.06, the Company shall be subrogated to the
rights of the Holders of such Subordinated Debt Securities to receive such payments from the money and/or Government Obligations
held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent pursuant to Section 11.05.

 

    60

     

    

 

Section 11.08. Indemnity for Government
Obligations. The Company shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against
the deposited Government Obligations or the principal or interest received on such Obligations other than any amount payable by or on
behalf of the Holders.

 

Section 11.09. Deposits of Foreign Currencies.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article Eleven, if the Subordinated Debt Securities of any series are payable in
a Foreign Currency, the coin or currency or currency unit or the nature of the government obligations to be deposited with the Trustee
under the foregoing provisions of this Article 11 shall be as set forth in the Officers’ Certificate or established in the
supplemental indenture under which the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series are issued.

Immunity
of Incorporators, Stockholders, Officers and Directors

 

Section 12.01. Liability Solely Corporate.
No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Subordinated Debt Security or for
any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof or of the indebtedness represented thereby, or upon any obligation, covenant or
agreement of this Indenture, against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company
or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitutional
provision, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and
understood that this Indenture and the Subordinated Debt Securities are solely corporate obligations, and that no personal liability whatsoever
shall attach to, or be incurred by, any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company
or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or any successor corporation, because of the incurring of the
indebtedness hereby authorized or under or by reason of any of the obligations, covenants, promises or agreements contained in this Indenture
or in any of the Subordinated Debt Securities or to be implied herefrom or therefrom, and that all liability, if any, of that character
against every such incorporator, stockholder, officer and director is, by the acceptance of the Subordinated Debt Securities and as a
condition of, and as part of the consideration for, the execution of this Indenture and the issue of the Subordinated Debt Securities,
expressly waived and released.

ARTICLE 13

Supplemental
Indentures

 

Section 13.01. Without Consent of Holders,
Company and Trustee May Enter Into Supplemental Indentures for Specified Purposes. The Company and the Trustee, at any time and
from time to time, may enter into one or more indentures supplemental hereto, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, for any one or more
or all of the following purposes:

 

(a) to add to the covenants and
agreements of the Company, to be observed thereafter and during the period, if any, in such supplemental indenture or indentures
expressed, and to add Events of Default, in each case for the protection or benefit of the Holders of all or any series of the
Subordinated Debt Securities (and if such covenants, agreements and Events of Default are to be for the benefit of fewer than all
series of Debt Securities, stating that such covenants, agreements and Events of Default are expressly being included for the
benefit of such series as shall be identified therein) provided, that in respect of any such additional covenant,
restriction, condition or provision such supplemental indenture may provide for a particular period of grace after default (which
period may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of other defaults) or may provide for an immediate enforcement upon
such an Event of Default or may limit the remedies available to the Trustee upon such an Event of Default or may limit the right of
the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series to waive such an Event of
Default;

 

(b) to evidence and provide for the acceptance
of appointment hereunder by a successor trustee with respect to the Subordinated Debt Securities of one or more series or to add to or
change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder
by more than one trustee, pursuant to the requirements of Section 10.07;

 

(c) to evidence the succession of another
corporation to the Company, or successive successions, and the assumption by a successor, transferee or lessee corporation of the covenants
and obligations of the Company contained in the Subordinated Debt Securities of one or more series and in this Indenture or any supplemental
indenture;

 

(d) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or
supplement any provision contained herein or in any indenture supplemental hereto which may be defective or inconsistent with any other
provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture, or to make any other provision in regard to matters or questions arising
under this Indenture which the Board of Directors may deem necessary or desirable and which shall not materially adversely affect the
interests of the Holders of the Subordinated Debt Securities; provided, however, that any amendment made solely to conform the
provisions of this Indenture to the description of the Securities of a series contained in the prospectus or other offering document pursuant
to which such Subordinated Debt Securities were sold will not be deemed to adversely affect the interests of the Holders of such Subordinated
Debt Securities;

 

(e) to prohibit the authentication and delivery
of additional series of Subordinated Debt Securities;

 

    62

     

    

 

(f) to establish the forms and terms of the
Subordinated Debt Securities of any series as permitted in Sections 2.01, 2.02 and 3.01 and to delete or modify any covenants or Events
of Default with respect to such Subordinated Debt Securities, or to authorize the issuance of additional Subordinated Debt Securities
of a series previously authorized or to add to the conditions, limitations or restrictions on the authorized amount, terms or purposes
of issue, authentication or delivery of the Subordinated Debt Securities of any series, as herein set forth, or other conditions, limitations
or restrictions thereafter to be observed;

 

(g) to add guarantees with respect to the
Subordinated Debt Securities of any series or to secure the Subordinated Debt Securities of any series;

 

(h) to evidence and provide for the acceptance
of appointment hereunder by a successor trustee with respect to the Subordinated Debt Securities of one or more series and to add to or
change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder
by more than one trustee, pursuant to the requirements of Section 10.07; and

 

(i) to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions
of this Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture
Act.

 

Subject to the provisions of Section 13.03,
the Trustee is authorized to join with the Company in the execution of any such supplemental indenture, to make the further agreements
and stipulations which may be therein contained and to accept the conveyance, transfer, assignment, mortgage or pledge of any property
or assets thereunder.

 

Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions
of this Section 13.01 may be executed by the Company and the Trustee without the consent of the Holders of any of the Outstanding
Subordinated Debt Securities, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 13.02.

 

Section 13.02. Modification of Indenture
by Supplemental Indenture with Consent of Holders. With the consent (evidenced as provided in Article 7) of the Holders of not
less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Subordinated Debt Securities at the time Outstanding which are affected by such
indenture supplemental hereto (each series voting as a class), the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution and the Trustee may,
from time to time and at any time, enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions
to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in
any manner the rights of the Holders of the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series to be affected; provided, however, that
no such supplemental indenture shall:

 

(a) change the Stated Maturity of principal
of, or any installment of principal of or interest on (except for any deferral of interest permitted pursuant to Section 3.01) any
Subordinated Debt Security;

 

    63

     

    

 

(b) reduce the rate or extend the time of
payment of interest, if any, on any Subordinated Debt Security, or alter the manner of calculation of interest payable on any Subordinated
Debt Security (except for any deferral of interest permitted pursuant to Section 3.01 or as part of any remarketing of the Subordinated
Debt Securities of any series, or any interest rate reset with respect thereto, in each case in accordance with the terms thereof);

 

(c) reduce the amount of the principal or
premium, if any, on any Subordinated Debt Security;

 

(d) make the principal thereof or interest
or premium thereon payable in any coin or currency other than that provided in the Subordinated Debt Securities;

 

(e) reduce the percentage in principal amount
of Subordinated Debt Securities of any series, the Holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture or any
waiver of any past default or Event of Default;

 

(f) impair the right to institute suit for
the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Maturity thereof as provided in Section 6.02;

 

(g) modify any provision of Section 6.06,
13.02 or Section 5.06 (except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of the Indenture cannot
be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Security so affected); or

 

(h) modify, without the written consent of
the Trustee, the rights, duties or immunities of the Trustee.

 

without, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (a) through
(h), the consent of the Holder of each Security so affected. A supplemental indenture that changes or eliminates any covenant or other
provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Subordinated
Debt Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Subordinated Debt Securities of such series with respect of such provision,
shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Subordinated Debt Securities of any other series.

 

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the
Holders under this Section 13.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient
if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.

 

Promptly after the execution by the Company and
the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Section 13.02, the Company shall mail a notice, setting
forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture, to the Holders of Subordinated Debt Securities of each series affected
thereby at their addresses as they shall then appear in the Security Register. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any
defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

 

    64

     

    

 

Section 13.03. Trustee to Join in Execution
of Supplemental Indenture. Upon receipt of a Company Request accompanied by:

 

(a) a supplemental indenture duly executed
on behalf of the Company;

 

(b) a copy of a Board Resolution, certified
by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company, authorizing the execution of said supplemental indenture;

 

(c) an Opinion of Counsel and an Officer’s
Certificate, each stating that said supplemental indenture complies with, and that the execution thereof is authorized or permitted by,
the provisions of this Indenture; and

 

(d) if said supplemental indenture shall
be executed pursuant to Section 13.02, evidence (as provided in Article 7) of the consent thereto of the Holders required to
consent thereto as in Section 13.02 provided,

 

then the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of said
supplemental indenture unless said supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture
or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into said supplemental indenture.

 

Section 13.04. Effect of Supplemental
Indenture. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article 13, this Indenture shall
be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, the respective
rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of
the Subordinated Debt Securities of any series affected, as the case may be, shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder
subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall
be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.

 

Section 13.05. Matters Provided for in
Supplemental Indenture May Be Noted on Subordinated Debt Securities, or New Subordinated Debt Securities Appropriately Modified May Be
Issued in Exchange for Outstanding Subordinated Debt Securities. Subordinated Debt Securities of any series authenticated and delivered
after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article 13 may bear a notation in a form approved
by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company or the Trustee shall so determine, new Subordinated
Debt Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Board of Directors, to any modification
of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may be prepared by the Company, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered
in exchange for the Subordinated Debt Securities of such series then Outstanding in equal aggregate principal amounts, and such exchange
shall be made without cost to the Holders of such Subordinated Debt Securities.

 

    65

     

    

 

Section 13.06. Supplemental Indentures
to Conform to Trust Indenture Act. Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to the provisions of this Article 13 shall
conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act.

 

ARTICLE 14

Subordination

 

Section 14.01. Agreement to Subordinate.

 

(a) The Company covenants and agrees, and
each Holder of Subordinated Debt Securities of each series issued hereunder by such Holder’s acceptance thereof likewise covenants
and agrees, that (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Subordinated Debt Securities of any series) all
Subordinated Debt Securities shall be issued subject to the provisions of this Article 14 and each Holder of a Subordinated Debt
Security, whether upon original issue or upon transfer or assignment thereof, accepts and agrees to be bound by such provisions.

 

(b) The payment by the Company of the principal
of (and premium, if any), and interest on, the Subordinated Debt Securities issued hereunder shall, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter
set forth, be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company, whether
outstanding at the date of this Indenture or thereafter incurred.

 

(c) No provision of this article shall prevent
the occurrence of any default or Event of Default or Enforcement Event hereunder.

 

Section 14.02. Default On Senior Indebtedness.

 

(a) No direct or indirect payment by or on
behalf of the Company of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Subordinated Debt Securities (other than in Permitted Junior
Securities), whether pursuant to the terms of the Subordinated Debt Securities or upon acceleration, by way of repurchase, redemption,
defeasance or otherwise, will be made if, at the time of such payment, there exists a default in the payment when due of all or any portion
of the obligations under or in respect of any Senior Indebtedness, whether at maturity, on account of mandatory redemption or prepayment,
acceleration or otherwise, and such default shall not have been cured or waived or the benefits of this Section 14.02(a) waived
by or on behalf of the holders of Senior Indebtedness.

 

(b) In addition, during the continuance
of any non-payment event of default with respect to any Designated Senior Indebtedness pursuant to which the maturity thereof may be
accelerated, and upon receipt by the Trustee of written notice (a “Payment Blockage Notice”) from a holder or holders
of such Designated Senior Indebtedness or the trustee or agent acting on behalf of such Designated Senior Indebtedness, then, unless
and until such event of default has been cured or waived or has ceased to exist or such Designated Senior Indebtedness has been discharged
or repaid in full in cash, or the requisite holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness have otherwise agreed in writing, (a) no
payment of any kind or character with respect to any principal of, premium or interest on or distribution will be made by or on behalf
of the Company on account of or with respect to the Subordinated Debt Securities (other than in Permitted Junior Securities) and (b) the
Company may not acquire any Subordinated Debt Securities for cash, property or otherwise, during a period (a “Payment Blockage
Period”) commencing on the date of receipt of such Payment Blockage Notice by the Trustee and ending 179 days thereafter.

 

    66

     

    

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
(x) in no event will a Payment Blockage Period extend beyond 179 days from the date the Payment Blockage Notice in respect thereof
was given and (y) not more than one Payment Blockage Period may be commenced with respect to the Subordinated Debt Securities during
any period of 360 consecutive days. No event of default that existed or was continuing on the date of commencement of any Payment Blockage
Period with respect to the Designated Senior Indebtedness initiating such Payment Blockage Period may be, or be made, the basis for the
commencement of any other Payment Blockage Period by the holder or holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness or the trustee or agent
acting on behalf of such Designated Senior Indebtedness, whether or not within a period of 360 consecutive days, unless such default or
event of default has been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days.

 

(c) In the event that, notwithstanding
the foregoing, any payment shall be received by the Trustee when such payment is prohibited by Section 14.02(a) or
Section 14.02(b) such payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the
holders of Senior Indebtedness or their respective representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to
which any instruments evidencing such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, as
calculated by the Company, to the extent necessary to pay such Senior Indebtedness in full, in cash, after giving effect to any
concurrent payment or distribution to or for the benefit of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, before any payment or
distribution is made to the Holders or to the Trustee.

 

Section 14.03. Liquidation; Dissolution; Bankruptcy.

 

(a) Upon any distribution of assets of the
Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to creditors upon any total or partial dissolution, winding-up,
liquidation or reorganization of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, assignment for the benefit of creditors or marshalling
of the Company’s assets, or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceedings, whether voluntary or involuntary,
all principal, premium, if any, and interest due or to become due to all Senior Indebtedness of the Company shall first be paid in full
in cash, or such payment duly provided for to the satisfaction of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, before the Holders are entitled
to receive or retain any payment; and upon any such dissolution or winding-up or liquidation or reorganization, any payment by the Company,
or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character whether in cash, property or securities, which the Holders or the Trustee
would be entitled to receive from the Company, except for the provisions of this Article, shall be paid by the Company or by any receiver,
trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, or by the Holders or by the Trustee
under this Indenture if received by them or it, directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company or their respective representatives,
or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing such Senior Indebtedness may have been
issued, as their respective interests may appear, as calculated by the Company, to the extent necessary to pay such Senior Indebtedness
in full in cash, or to cause such payment to be duly provided for to the satisfaction of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, after
giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the benefit of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, before any
payment or distribution is made to the Holders or to the Trustee.

 

    67

     

    

 

(b) In the event that, notwithstanding Section 14.03(a),
any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, prohibited by
Section 14.03(a), shall be received by the Trustee before all Senior Indebtedness of the Company is paid in full, or provision is
made for such payment in money in accordance with its terms, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and
shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders of such Senior Indebtedness or their respective representatives, or to the trustee or
trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective
interests may appear, as calculated by the Company, to the extent necessary to pay such Senior Indebtedness in full, in cash, after giving
effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the benefit of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, before any payment
or distribution is made to the Holders or to the Trustee.

 

(c) For purposes of this Article 14,
the words “cash, property or securities” shall not be deemed to include shares of stock of the Company as reorganized or readjusted,
or securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment, the payment of which is
subordinated at least to the extent provided in this Article with respect to the Subordinated Debt Securities to the payment of all
Senior Indebtedness of the Company that may at the time be outstanding; provided, however, that (i) such Senior Indebtedness
is assumed by the new corporation, if any, resulting from any such reorganization or readjustment, and (ii) the rights of the holders
of such Senior Indebtedness are not, without the consent of such holders, altered by such reorganization or readjustment. The consolidation
of the Company with, or the merger of the Company into, another corporation or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company following
the conveyance or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, to another corporation or limited liability company
upon the terms and conditions provided for in Article 8 of this Indenture shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding-up, liquidation
or reorganization for the purposes of this Section 14.03 if such other corporation or limited liability company shall, as part of
such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, comply with the conditions stated in Article 14 of this Indenture. Nothing in
Section 14.02 or in this Section 14.03 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 10.01(a) of
this Indenture.

 

    68

     

    

 

(d) If the Trustee or any Holder of
Subordinated Debt Securities does not file a proper claim or proof of debt in the form required in any proceeding referred to above
prior to 30 days before the expiration of the time to file such claim in such proceeding, then the holder of any Senior Indebtedness
is hereby authorized, and has the right, to file an appropriate claim or claims for or on behalf of such Holder of Subordinated Debt
Securities.

 

Section 14.04. Subrogation.

 

(a) Subject to the payment in full of all
Senior Indebtedness of the Company then outstanding, the rights of the Holders shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of such
Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company applicable to such Senior Indebtedness
until the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Subordinated Debt Securities shall be paid in full; and, for the purposes
of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness of any cash, property or securities to which
the Holders or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article 14, and no payment over pursuant to the provisions
of this Article 14 to or for the benefit of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness by Holders or the Trustee, shall, as between
the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the Holders, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or
on account of such Senior Indebtedness. It is understood that the provisions of this Article 14 are and are intended solely for the
purposes of defining the relative rights of the Holders, on the one hand, and the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand.

 

(b) Nothing contained in this Article 14
or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Subordinated Debt Securities is intended to or shall impair, as between the Company, its creditors
other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the Holders, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to
pay to the Holders the principal of (premium, if any) and interest on the Subordinated Debt Securities as and when the same shall become
due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holders and creditors of
the Company other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Trustee or any Holder of Subordinated
Debt Securities from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights,
if any, under this Article of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company received
upon the exercise of any such remedy.

 

(c) Upon any payment or distribution of assets
of the Company referred to in this Article 14, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 10.01 of this Indenture, and
the Holders shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such
dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending, or a certificate of the receiver, trustee in bankruptcy,
liquidation trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or the Holders, for the purposes
of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of
the Company the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto
or to this article.

 

    69

     

    

 

Section 14.05. Trustee to Effectuate Subordination.
Each Holder of Subordinated Debt Securities by such Holder’s acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on such Holder’s
behalf, if so directed by the Company to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided
in this Article 14 and appoints the Trustee such Holder’s attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

 

Section 14.06. Notice by the Company.

 

(a) The Company shall give prompt written
notice to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of any fact known to the Company that would prohibit the making of any payment of monies
to or by the Trustee in respect of the Subordinated Debt Securities pursuant to the provisions of this Article 14.

 

Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Article 14 or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any
facts that would prohibit the making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee in respect of the Subordinated Debt Securities
pursuant to the provisions of this Article 14, unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received
written notice thereof from the Company or a Holder or holders of Senior Indebtedness or from any representative or trustee
therefor; and before the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 10.01 of this
Indenture, shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided, however, that if the Trustee shall not
have received the notice provided for in this Section 14.06 at least two Business Days prior to the date upon which by the
terms hereof any money may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of or
interest on any Subordinated Debt Security), then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have
full power and authority to receive such money and to apply the same to the purposes for which such money was received, and shall
not be affected by any notice to the contrary that may be received by it within two Business Days prior to such date.

 

(b) The Trustee, subject to the provisions
of Section 10.01 of this Indenture, shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person
representing himself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee or representative on behalf of such holder), to establish that
such notice has been given by a holder of such Senior Indebtedness or a trustee or representative on behalf of any such holder or holders.
In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a
holder of such Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 14, the Trustee may request
such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of such Senior Indebtedness held by such
Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the
rights of such Person under this Article and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person
pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment.

 

    70

     

    

 

Section 14.07. Rights of the Trustee; Holders of
Senior Indebtedness.

 

(a) The Trustee in its individual capacity
shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article 14 in respect of any Senior Indebtedness at any time held by it, to
the same extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness, and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights
as such holder.

 

(b) With respect to the holders of Senior
Indebtedness, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants and obligations as are specifically set forth
in this Article 14 and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness shall be read
into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness
and, subject to the provisions of Section 10.01 of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be liable to any holder of such Senior Indebtedness
if it shall pay over or deliver to Holders, the Company or any other Person money or assets to which any holder of such Senior Indebtedness
shall be entitled by virtue of this Article 14 or otherwise.

 

Section 14.08. Subordination May Not Be Impaired.

 

(a) No right of any present or future holder
of any Senior Indebtedness of the Company to enforce subordination provided in this Article 14 shall at any time in any way be prejudiced
or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder,
or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof
that any such holder may have or otherwise be charged with.

 

(b) Without in any way limiting the generality
of the foregoing paragraph, the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent
of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders, without incurring responsibility to the Holders and without impairing or releasing the subordination
provided in this Article 14 or the obligations hereunder of the Holders to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, do any one or
more of the following: (a) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, such
Senior Indebtedness, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner such Senior Indebtedness or any instrument evidencing the same or
any agreement under which such Senior Indebtedness is outstanding; (b) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property
pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing such Senior Indebtedness; (c) release any Person liable in any manner for the collection
of such Senior Indebtedness; and (d) exercise or refrain from exercising or waive any rights against the Company and any other Person.

 

(c) Each present and future holder of Senior
Indebtedness shall be entitled to the benefit of the provisions of this Article notwithstanding that such holder is not a party to
this Indenture.

Section 14.09. Article Applicable
to Paying Agents. In case at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company and be then
acting hereunder, the term “Trustee” as used in this Article 14 shall in such case (unless the context otherwise requires)
be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying
Agent were named in this Article 14 in addition to or in place of the Trustee; provided, however, that this Section 14.09
shall not apply to the Company or any Affiliate of the Company if it or such Affiliate acts as Paying Agent.

 

Section 14.10. Defeasance of this Article.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, payments from cash or the proceeds of U.S. Government Obligations held in trust
under Article 11 hereof by the Trustee and which were deposited in accordance with the terms of Article 11 hereof and not in
violation of Section 14.02 hereof for the payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Subordinated Debt Securities
shall not be subordinated to the prior payment of any Senior Indebtedness or subject to the restrictions set forth in this Article, and
none of the Holders or the Trustee shall be obligated to pay over any such amount to the Company or any holder of Senior Indebtedness
or any representative or trustee therefor or any other creditor of the Company.

 

Section 14.11. Subordination Language
to be Included in Subordinated Debt Securities. Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.01, each Subordinated
Debt Security shall contain a subordination provision which will be substantially in the following form:

 

“The Subordinated Debt Securities of this
series are subordinated in right of payment, in the manner and to the extent set forth in the Indenture, to the prior payment in full
of all Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the Indenture, or as set forth in one or more indentures supplemental hereto, in or pursuant
to a Board Resolution in accordance with Section 3.01 of the Indenture or in this Subordinated Debt Security). Each Holder by accepting
a Subordinated Debt Security of this series agrees to such subordination and authorizes the Trustee to give it effect.”

 

ARTICLE 15

Provisions
of General Application

 

Section 15.01. Benefits of Indenture.
Nothing in this Indenture or in the Subordinated Debt Securities, express or implied, is intended, or shall be construed, to confer upon,
or to give to, any Person other than the parties hereto and their successors and the Holders of Subordinated Debt Securities any right,
remedy or claim under or by reason of this Indenture or any covenant, condition, stipulation, promise or agreement hereof or herein, and
all covenants, conditions, stipulations, promises and agreements hereof and herein shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the
parties hereto and their successors and of the Holders of the Subordinated Debt Securities.

 

    72

     

    

 

Section 15.02. Evidence of Compliance
with Conditions Precedent; Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee. As evidence of compliance with the conditions precedent provided
for in this Indenture (including any covenants, compliance with which constitutes a condition precedent) which relate to the satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture or to any other action to be taken by the Trustee upon Company Order or Request, the Company will furnish
to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate, stating that such conditions precedent have been complied with, and an Opinion of Counsel
stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such conditions precedent have been complied with.

 

Each certificate or opinion with respect to compliance
with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture shall include (1) a statement that each individual making such certificate
or opinion has read such condition or covenant; (2) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation
upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based; (3) a statement that, in the opinion of
each such individual, he has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him to express an informed opinion as to
whether or not such condition or covenant has been complied with; and (4) a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of each
such individual, such condition or covenant has been complied with.

 

In any case where several matters are
required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be
certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but
one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters,
and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

 

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

 

Where any Person is required to make, give or
execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they
may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

 

    73

     

    

 

Notwithstanding any provision of this
Indenture authorizing the Trustee conclusively to rely upon any certificates or opinions, the Trustee before granting any
application by the Company or taking or refraining from taking any other action in reliance thereon, may require any further
evidence or make any further investigation as to the facts or matters stated therein which it may, in good faith, deem reasonable in
the circumstances, and in connection therewith the Trustee may examine or cause to be examined the pertinent books, records and
premises of the Company or of any Subsidiary; and the Trustee shall, in any such case, require such further evidence or make such
further investigation as may be requested by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Subordinated Debt Securities then
Outstanding; provided that, if payment to the Trustee of the costs, expenses and liabilities likely to be incurred by it in
making such investigation is not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture,
the Trustee before making such investigation may require reasonable indemnity against such costs, expenses or liabilities. Any
further evidence that may be requested by the Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this paragraph shall be furnished by the
Company at its own expense, and any cost, expenses and liabilities incurred by the Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this
paragraph shall be paid by the Company, or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be repaid by the Company, upon demand, with interest at
the lowest rate borne by the Subordinated Debt Securities of any series, but in no event less than 5%, and, until such repayment,
shall be secured by a lien on any moneys held by the Trustee hereunder prior to any rights therein of the Holders of Subordinated
Debt Securities.

 

Section 15.03. Conflict with Trust Indenture
Act. If any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision included in this Indenture which is
required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall control.

 

Section 15.04. Notices, etc., to
Trustee and Company. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or action of Holders or other document
provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,

 

(i) the Trustee by any Holder
or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee
at its Corporate Trust Office, or

 

79

 

(ii) the Company by the Trustee
or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed,
first-class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at Two Limited Parkway, Columbus, Ohio 43230, attention: Chief Financial Officer,
or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company. Any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent or waiver addressed as provided in this Subsection (ii) and given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, shall be
conclusively presumed given when mailed.

 

Section 15.05. Notice to Holders; Waiver.
Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly
provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at his address as it appears
in the Security Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice.
In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed,
to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for
notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders
shall be with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such
waiver.

 

    74

     

    

 

If, in the event of suspension of regular mail
service or for any other reason, it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the
approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

 

Section 15.06. Effect of Headings and
Table of Contents. The Article, Section and Subsection headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and
shall not affect the construction hereof.

 

Section 15.07. Successors and Assigns.
All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Company shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

 

Section 15.08. Separability Clause.
In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Subordinated Debt Securities shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 

Section 15.09. Governing Law. This
Indenture and the Subordinated Debt Securities shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

 

Section 15.10. Legal Holidays. In
any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any Subordinated Debt Security shall not be a Business
Day at any Place of Payment for such Subordinated Debt Security, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the
Subordinated Debt Securities) payments of principal (and premium, if any) and interest need not be made at such Place of Payment on such
date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest
Payment Date or Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity, and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Interest Payment
Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be, to the date of such payment.

 

Section 15.11. Execution in Counterparts.
This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all
such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

 

Section 15.12. Waiver of Jury Trial.
EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES OR THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 

    75

     

    

 

Section 15.13. Force Majeure. In no
event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out
of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents,
acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions
of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts
which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.
