Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action,
only Securities which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Securities so owned
which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the
pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Securities and that the pledgee is not the Company or any other obligor upon the
Securities or any Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor.

Section 1.04     Acts
of Holders; Record Dates.

  

(a)            Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given,
made or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed (either manually
or by electronic transmission which is transmitted through the facilities of the Depositary) by such Holders in person or by agent duly
appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments
are delivered to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments
(and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing
such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient
for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.01) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the
manner provided in this Section.

 

(b)            The
fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such
execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying
that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a
signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof
of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person
executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

 

(c)            The

or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon, whether
or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

 

(e)            The
Company may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to
give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this
Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of Securities of such series, provided that the Company may not set a record date for,
and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or direction
referred to in the next paragraph. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of the
relevant series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders
remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable
Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in
this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously
been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be
cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this Section 1.04(e) shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by
Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly
after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the
proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder of Securities of
the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 1.06.

(i)            The

to join in the giving or making of (i) any notice of an Event of Default, (ii) any declaration of acceleration referred to
in Section 5.02, (iii) any request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 5.07(2) or (iv) any
direction referred to in Section 5.12, in each case with respect to Securities of such series. If any record date is set
pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be
entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record
date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by
Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph
shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously
been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person
be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders
of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after
any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company’s expense, shall cause notice of such record
date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Company in writing and to each Holder of
Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 1.06.

 

(f)            With
respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which sets such record dates may designate any day as the “Expiration
Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective
unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the other party hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Securities of the
relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 1.06, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not
designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to
have initially designated the 90th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change
the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the 90th day
after the applicable record date.

 

(g)            Without
limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Security may do so with
regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant
to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount.

Section 1.05     Notices,
Etc., to Trustee and Company.

  

Any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished
to, or filed with,

 

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

 

(2)            the
Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if

Section 1.06     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 or otherwise in accordance
with the procedures of the Depositary (with a copy to the Trustee), not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the
earliest date (if any), 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, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by
Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance
upon such waiver.

 

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

 

Section 1.07     Conflict
with Trust Indenture Act.

 

If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts
with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act which is required under such Act to be a part of and govern this Indenture, the latter provision
shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act which may be so modified
or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be.

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

 

Section 1.11     Benefits

Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities,
express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, the holders of Senior Indebtedness
subject to Section 14.15, Entitled Persons in respect of Other Financial Obligations and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or
equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE, AND EACH HOLDER
OF A SECURITY BY ITS ACCEPTANCE THEREOF, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT
IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE SECURITIES
OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

 

Section 1.13     Legal
Holidays.

 

In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption
Date or Stated Maturity of any Security or the last date on which a Holder has the right to convert his Securities shall not be a Business
Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Securities (other than a provision
of any Security which specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu of this Section)) payment of interest or principal (and
premium, if any) or conversion of the Securities need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding
Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or at
the Stated Maturity, or on such last day for conversion, provided that no interest shall accrue with respect to such payment for the period

[If applicable, insert - Subject to
and in compliance with the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security is entitled, at his option, at any time on or
after the opening of business on the Initial Conversion Date and on or before the close of business on the Final Conversion Date, or
in case this Security or a portion hereof is called for redemption, then in respect of this Security or such portion hereof until

Redemption Date, to convert this Security (or any portion of the principal amount hereof which is $1,000 or an integral multiple

conversion to the nearest 1/100 of a share) of Common Stock of the Company at the Initial Conversion Price (or at the current

installment of interest (with certain exceptions provided in the Indenture), no payment or adjustment is to be made on conversion
for interest accrued hereon or for dividends on the Common Stock issued on conversion. No fractions of shares or scrip representing
fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but instead of any fractional interest the Company shall pay a cash adjustment as

provides that in case of certain consolidations or mergers to which the Company is a party or the transfer of substantially all of

such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such success Depositary.”

 

(b)            Notwithstanding

Global Security or if at any time the Depositary for the Securities for such series shall no longer be eligible or in good standing under
the Exchange Act, or other applicable statute or regulation, the Company shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to such Global
Security. If a successor Depositary for such Global Security is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives

Global Security will also be exchangeable if there shall have occurred or be continuing an Event of Default or an event which, with the
giving of notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series represented

Depositary. Thereupon the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge, (1) to
each Person specified by such Depositary a new Security or Securities of the same series of like tenor and terms and of any
authorized denominations as requested by such Person or the Depositary in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for

any exchange provided for in any of the preceding four paragraphs, the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver
individual fully registered Securities in authorized denominations. Upon the exchange of a Global Security for individual Securities,
such Global Security shall be cancelled by the Trustee. Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this Section 2.06

furnished to the Trustee pursuant to Section 1.02, and (subject to Section 6.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon,
an Opinion of Counsel stating:

the form of such Securities has been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 2.01, that such form
has been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

 

(2)            if
the terms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 3.01, that such terms

their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability
relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles;

 

    -25-

     

    

 

(4)            that
all laws and requirements in respect of the execution and delivery of such Securities have been complied with; and

 

(5)            that
all conditions precedent under the Indenture relating to the issuance, authentication and delivery of such securities have been complied
with.

 

If such form or terms have been so established,
the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect
the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably
acceptable to the Trustee.

 

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.01
and of the preceding paragraph, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to
deliver the Officers’ Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 3.01 or the Company Order and Opinion of Counsel otherwise
required pursuant to such preceding paragraph at or prior to the authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are
delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued.

 

Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

 

No Security shall be entitled to any benefit
under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication
substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Security
shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by
the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 3.09, for all
purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be
entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

Securities.

 

Pending the preparation of definitive Securities
of any series, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which
are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor
of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other
variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities.

 

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

Section 3.05     Registration;
Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

 

The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate
Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the Company in a Place
of Payment being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee
is hereby appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided.

 

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of
any Security of a series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, the Company shall execute, and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the
same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.

 

At the option of the Holder, Securities of
any series may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate
principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so
surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder
making the exchange is entitled to receive.

 

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

 

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

 

No service charge shall be made for any registration
of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to
Section 3.04, 9.06 or 11.07 not involving any transfer.

 

If the Securities of any series (or of any series
and specified tenor) are to be redeemed in part, the Company shall not be required (A) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange
any Securities of that series (or of that series and specified tenor, as the case may be) during a period beginning at the opening of
business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of any such Securities selected for redemption under Section 11.03
and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (B) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected
for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

 

    -27-

     

    

 

None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent
or the Securities Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the Depositary’s 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 3.06     Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Section 3.07     Payment
of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

 

Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by
Section 3.01 with respect to any series of Securities, interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities)
is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest.

 

    -28-

     

    

 

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

 

(1)            The
Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their
respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such
Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of
Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time
the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such
Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit 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. Thereupon the Company shall fix or cause to be fixed to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee a
Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior
to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed
payment. The Company or the Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of
such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be given to each Holder of Securities of such series in the manner
set forth in Section 1.06, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such
Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons
in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on
such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2).

 

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

 

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

 

Section 3.08     Persons
Deemed Owners.

 

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

 

    -29-

     

    

  

In the case of any convertible Security which is
converted after any Regular Record Date and on or prior to the next succeeding Interest Payment Date (other than any Security whose Maturity
is prior to such Interest Payment Date), interest whose Stated Maturity is on such Interest Payment Date shall be payable on such Interest
Payment Date notwithstanding such conversion, and such interest (whether or not punctually paid or duly provided for) shall be paid to
the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on such Regular
Record Date. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the immediately preceding sentence, in the case of any convertible Security which
is converted, interest whose Stated Maturity is after the date of conversion of such Security shall not be payable.

 

No holder of any beneficial interest in any Global
Security held on such holder’s behalf by a Depositary shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to such Global Security,
and such Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the owner of such Global
Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall impair, as between a Depositary and such holders
of beneficial interests, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of the Depositary as Holder of any
Security.

 

None of the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent
or the Security Registrar shall have any responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner in a Global Security or other Person with
respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any agent member, with respect to any ownership interest
in the Securities or with respect to the delivery to any agent member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of
any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Securities. All notices and
communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under the Securities and this Indenture shall be given
or made only to or upon the order of the registered holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of the Global Security).
The rights of beneficial owners in the Global Security shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the applicable procedures.
The Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Security Registrar shall be entitled to rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information
furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners. The Trustee, the Paying Agent and the
Security Registrar shall be entitled to deal with the Depositary, and any nominee thereof, that is the registered holder of any Global
Security for all purposes of this Indenture relating to such Global Security (including the payment of principal, premium, if any, and
interest and additional amounts, if any, and the giving of instructions or directions by or to the owner or holder of a beneficial ownership
interest in such Global Security) as the sole holder of such Global Security and shall have no obligations to the beneficial owners thereof.

 

    -30-

     

    

 

None of the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent
or the Security Registrar shall have any responsibility or liability for any acts or omissions of the Depository with respect to such
Global Security, for the records of any such Depositary, including records in respect of beneficial ownership interests in respect of
any such Global Security, for any transactions between the Depository and any agent member or between or among the Depositary, any such
agent member and/or any holder or owner of a beneficial interest in such Global Security, or for any transfer or beneficial interests
in any such Global Security.

 

Section 3.09     Cancellation.

 

All Securities surrendered for payment,
redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or conversion or for credit against any sinking fund payment 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 Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have
acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for
cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so
delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any
Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by
the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its customary procedures.

 

Section 3.10     Computation
of Interest.

 

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

 

Section 3.11     CUSIP
Numbers.

 

The Company, in issuing the Securities, may use
 “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notice of redemption
as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers
either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any
defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

 

Section 3.12     Further
Issuances.

 

The Company may from time to time without the consent
of the Holders of Securities of any series affected create and issue further Securities of such series having the same terms and conditions
as the Securities of such series in all respects (or in all respects except for the payment of interest of the Securities of such series
(i) scheduled and paid prior to the date of issuance of the additional Securities of such series or (ii) payable on the first
Interest Payment Date following such issuance) so that such further issues shall be consolidated and form a single series with the outstanding
Securities of any series. Any further Securities forming a single series with the outstanding Securities of any series may be constituted
by the Indenture or any supplement to this Indenture.

thereto, of the principal and any premium and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee. All monies
deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01 (and held by it or the Paying Agent) for the payment of Securities
subsequently converted shall be returned to the Company upon Company Request.

 

Money deposited and held in trust pursuant to this
Section 4.02 shall not be subject to claims of the holders of Senior Indebtedness or Entitled Persons under Article Fourteen.

due and payable either at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or otherwise or (ii) any payment required by any sinking or analogous
fund established with respect to that series;

25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of that series at the time Outstanding; or

 

(6)            any
other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that series.

 

Section 5.02     Acceleration
of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

 

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities
of any series at the time Outstanding occurs, the principal amount of all the Securities of that series (or, if any Securities of that
series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified by the terms
thereof) shall automatically, and without any declaration or other action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, become immediately
due and payable.

 

At any time after such acceleration with respect
to Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee
as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series,
by written notice to the Company and a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, may rescind and annul such acceleration and its consequences
if:

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

 

(A)            all
overdue interest on all Securities of that series,

 

(B)            the
principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities of that series which have become due otherwise than by such acceleration and any

(C)            all
sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its
agents and counsel;

 

and

 

(2)            all
Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities of that series
which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13.

 

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

 

Section 5.03     Collection
of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

 

The Company covenants that, upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default specified in Sections 5.01(3) or (4), the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit
of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal and any premium and interest
at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover
the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its
agents and counsel.

 

If the Company shall fail to pay such amounts forthwith
upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection
of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company
or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of
the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated.

 

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities
of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of
the Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect
and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise
of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

 

Section 5.04     Trustee
May File Proofs of Claim.

 

In case of any judicial proceeding relative
to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or such other obligor or their creditors, the
Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized
under the such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to have claims
of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized (i) to file and
prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (and premium, if any) and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities in
accordance with the terms thereof and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the
claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expense, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its
agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and (ii) to collect and receive any moneys or other
property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee,
liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such
payments to the Trustee and, if the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the
Trustee any amount due to the Trustee for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its
agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07.

 

    -35-

     

    

 

No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed
to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect
of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding; provided, however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for
the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ or other similar committee.

 

Section 5.05     Trustee
May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities.

 

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

 

Section 5.06     Application
of Money Collected.

 

Any money or distributable collected by the Trustee
pursuant to this Article and any money or other distributable in respect of the Company’s obligation under this Indenture after
the occurrence of an Event of Default shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case
of the distribution of such money or distributable on account of principal or any premium or interest, upon presentation of the Securities
and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

 

First: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee
under Section 6.07; and

 

Second: Subject to Article Fourteen, to the
payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and any premium and interest on the Securities in respect of which or for

Holder has previously given written notice to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of that series;

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

 

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

 

(5)            no
direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series; it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders
shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice
the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to
enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Holders.

 

Section 5.08     Unconditional
Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest or to Convert.

 

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture,
the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and any premium
and (subject to Section 3.07) interest on such Security on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the
case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and, if applicable, to convert such Security in accordance with Article Fifteen, to institute
suit for the enforcement of any such payment and right to convert, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

 

Section 5.09     Restoration
of Rights and Remedies.

 

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

Section 5.10     Rights
and Remedies Cumulative.

 

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the
replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 3.06, no right or remedy
herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every
right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder
or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise,
shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

 

Section 5.11     Delay
or Omission Not Waiver.

 

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder
of any Securities to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute
a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee
or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the
case may be.

 

Section 5.12     Control
by Holders.

 

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any
remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Securities of such series,
provided that

 

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

 

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

 

(3)            such
direction is not unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders (it being understood that the Trustee shall not have an affirmative
duty to ascertain whether or not any such direction is unduly prejudicial to any other Holder).

 

Section 5.13     Waiver
of Past Defaults.

 

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

 

(1)            in
the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of such series, or

 

    -38-

     

    

 

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

 

Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease
to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

Section 5.14     Undertaking
for Costs.

 

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

 

Section 5.15     Waiver
of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws.

 

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

Duties and Responsibilities.

 

(a)            Except
during the continuance of an Event of Default,

 

(1)            the
Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied
covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee (it being understood that the permissive
rights of the Trustee shall not be construed as duties); and

 

    -39-

     

    

 

(2)            in
the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the
opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture;
but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof 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.

 

(b)            In
case an Event of Default with respect to Securities of a particular series shall have occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise
with respect to the Securities of such series such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of
care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

 

(c)            No
provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure
to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:

 

(1)            this
Subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of Subsection (a) of this Section;

 

(2)            the
Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the
Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

 

(3)            the

conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under
this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series; and

 

(4)            no
provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, 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.

 

(d)            Whether
or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording
protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section.

 

Section 6.02     Notice
of Defaults.

 

Within 90 days after the occurrence of any default
hereunder actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee shall transmit
by mail to all Holders of Securities of such series, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register or otherwise in accordance
with the procedures of the Depositary, notice of such default hereunder, unless such default shall have been cured or waived; provided,
however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security
of such series or in the payment of any sinking fund installment with respect to Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be protected
in withholding such notice if and so long as the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests
of the Holders of Securities of such series; and provided, further, that in the case of any default of the character specified
in Section 5.01(5) with respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 30 days
after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice
or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series.

Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting,
it may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes
or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may consult with counsel
and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel will be full and complete authorization and protection from liability
in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

 

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

(1)            to
pay to the Trustee (acting in any capacity hereunder) from time to time such compensation as shall be agreed in writing between the Company

Section 6.10     Resignation
and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

 

(a)            No
resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until
the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11.

 

(b)            The
Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If
the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 6.11 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within
30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

 

(c)            The
Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee and to the Company. If the instrument

the Trustee being removed may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

at any time:

 

(1)            the
Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 6.08 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona
fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, or

 

(2)            the
Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.09 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by
any such Holder, or

 

(3)            the
Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its
property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the
purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then, in any such case, (A) the Company by a Board Resolution
may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (B) subject to Section 5.14, any Holder who has been a bona fide
Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or
Trustees.

 

(e)            If
the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause,
with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or
Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed
with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect
to the Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11. If, within one year
after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series
delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment
in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such
series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 6.11,
any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others
similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
of such series.

 

    -45-

     

    

 

(f)            The
Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment
of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series to all Holders of Securities of such series in the manner provided
in Section 1.06. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the
address of its Corporate Trust Office.

 

The
provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Indenture.

 

Section 6.11     Acceptance
of Appointment by Successor.

 

(a)            In
case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and
thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further
act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the
request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges (including fees and
expenses of its agents and counsel), execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights,
powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and
money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company,
the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture
supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall
be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties
of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates,
(2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary
or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that
or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall
add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the
trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute
such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart
from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture
the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee
with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of
the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of fees and expenses of its agents and counsel, duly assign,
transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities
of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates.

 

    -46-

     

    

 

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

successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible
under this Article.

 

Section 6.12     Merger,
Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.

 

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

 

Section 6.13     Preferential
Collection of Claims Against Company.

 

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

transfer, partial conversion or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 3.06, and Securities so authenticated shall be
entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder.
Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate
of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating
Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall
be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States
of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined
capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such Authenticating
Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority,
then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined
capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease
to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and
with the effect specified in this Section.

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

 

An
Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may
at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company.
Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to
be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be
acceptable to the Company and shall give notice of such appointment in the manner provided in Section 1.06 to all Holders of Securities
of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment
hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named
as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

 

The
Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section.

 

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

interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be
discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security 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

compliance the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by Act of such
Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such
waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall

for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate (but subject to compliance with the rules of any securities
exchange on which the securities of such series may be listed) and which may provide for the selection for redemption of a portion of
the principal amount of any Security of such series, provided that the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of any Security shall
be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security. If less than all
the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected
not more than 10 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series and specified tenor
not previously called for redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence.

 

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

 

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

 

Section 11.04     Notice
of Redemption.

 

Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class
mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be

    -58-

     

    

 

All notices of redemption shall identify the Securities
to be redeemed (including CUSIP number) and shall state:

  

(1)            the
Redemption Date,

 

(2)            the
Redemption Price,

 

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

 

(4)            that
on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed and, if applicable, that
interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date (unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued
interest),

 

(5)            the
conversion price, the date on which the right to convert the Securities to be redeemed will terminate and the place or places where such
Securities may be surrendered for conversion,

 

(6)            any
conditions precedent to such redemption in reasonable detail;

 

(7)            the
place or places where each such Security is to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, and

 

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

 

Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed
at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the
expense of the Company provided that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least five Business Days before notice of redemption
is required to be sent or caused to be sent to Holders pursuant to this Section 11.04 (unless a shorter period shall be agreed to
by the Trustee), an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated
in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph in the form of such notice.

 

If any notice of redemption of Securities is subject
to one or more conditions precedent, any such redemption may be rescinded in whole and not in part at any time prior to the close of business
on the Business Day prior to the Redemption Date if the Company delivers an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee describing the
failure of the condition in reasonable detail and rescinding the redemption. The Company shall promptly provide a copy of such Officers’
Certificate to the Holders in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given. At the Company’s written request given
at least three (3) Business Days before such notice is to be sent (or such shorter time as shall be acceptable to the Trustee), the
Trustee shall give such notice in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense.

Section 11.05     Deposit
of Redemption Price.

  

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 10.03) 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 Securities which are to be redeemed on that date other than any convertible
Securities called for redemption on that date which have been converted prior to the date of such deposit.

 

If any convertible Security called for redemption
is converted, any money deposited with the Trustee or with any Paying Agent or so segregated and held in trust for the redemption of such
Security shall (subject to any right of the Holder of such Security or any Predecessor Security to receive interest as provided in the
last paragraph of Section 3.07) be paid to the Company upon Company Request or, if then held by the Company, shall be discharged
from such trust.

 

Section 11.06     Securities
Payable on Redemption Date.

 

Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid,
the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and
from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities
shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be
paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that, unless
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption
Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business
on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.07.

 

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

 

Section 11.07     Securities
Redeemed in Part.

 

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

The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment
provided for by the terms of any Securities 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 such Securities is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment”.
If provided for by the terms of any Securities, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in
Section 12.02. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities as provided for by the terms of such Securities.

 

Section 12.02     Satisfaction
of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.

 

The Company (1) may deliver Outstanding Securities
of a series (other than any previously called for redemption) and (2) may apply as a credit Securities of a series which have been
converted pursuant to Article Fifteen or which have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of
such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, in each
case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to any Securities of such series required to be made
pursuant to the terms of such Securities as and to the extent provided for by the terms of such Securities; provided that the Securities
to be so credited have not been previously so credited. The Securities to be so credited shall be received and credited for such purpose
by the Trustee at the Redemption Price, as specified in the Securities so to be redeemed, for redemption through operation of the sinking
fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.

of Securities for Sinking Fund.

 

Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund
payment date for any Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next
ensuing sinking fund payment for such Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be
satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities pursuant
to Section 12.02 and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Not less than 45 days prior to each such
sinking fund payment date, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified
in Section 11.03 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner
provided in Section 11.04. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and

Section 13.01     Company’s
Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

 

The Company may elect, at its option at any time,
to have Section 13.02 or Section 13.03 applied to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, designated
pursuant to Section 3.01 as being defeasible pursuant to such Section 13.02 or 13.03, in accordance with any applicable requirements
provided pursuant to Section 3.01 and upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article. Any such election shall
be evidenced by a Board Resolution or in another manner specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for such Securities.

 

Section 13.02     Defeasance
and Discharge.

 

Upon the Company’s exercise of its option
(if any) to have this Section applied to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall be deemed
to have been discharged from its obligations, with respect to such Securities as provided in this Section on and after the date the
conditions set forth in Section 13.04 are satisfied (hereinafter called “Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Defeasance
means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such Securities and to have
satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee,
at the expense of the Company, shall execute such instruments reasonably requested by and prepared by the Company acknowledging the same),
subject to the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (1) the rights of Holders of such
Securities to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 13.04 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments
in respect of the principal of and any premium and interest on such Securities when payments are due, (2) the Company’s obligations
with respect to such Securities under Sections 3.04, 3.05, 3.06, 10.02 and 10.03, (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities
of the Trustee hereunder and (4) this Article. Subject to compliance with this Article, the Company may exercise its option (if any)

option (if any) to have this Section applied to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, (1) the
Company shall be released from its obligations under any Section applicable to such Securities that are determined pursuant to
Section 3.01 to be subject to this provision) and (2) the occurrence of any event specified in
Section 5.01(5) (with respect to any Section applicable to such Securities that are determined pursuant to
Section 3.01 to be subject to this provision) shall be deemed not to be or result in an Event of Default (hereinafter called
 “Covenant Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to such Securities, the
Company may omit to comply with (and no Event of Default shall arise out of such non-compliance with) and shall have no liability in
respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such specified Section or Article, whether directly or indirectly
by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or Article or by reason of any reference in any such
Section or Article to any other provision herein or in any other document, but the remainder of this Indenture and such
Securities shall be unaffected thereby.

shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (x) the Company has received from, or there has been published
by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (y) since the date of this instrument, there has been a change in the applicable Federal
income tax law, in either case (x) or (y) to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders
of such Securities will not recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, Defeasance and discharge
to be effected with respect to such Securities and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at
the same times as would be the case if such deposit, Defeasance and discharge were not to occur.

the event of an election to have Section 13.03 apply to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, the Company
shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such Securities will not recognize gain or
loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and Covenant Defeasance to be effected with respect to such Securities

Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that neither such Securities nor any other Securities
of the same series, if then listed on any securities exchange, will be delisted as a result of such deposit.

ending on the day following the expiration of the longest preference period applicable to the Company in respect of such deposit (it being
understood that the condition in this clause (B) is a condition subsequent and shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration
of such period).

 

(6)            Such
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture
Act (assuming all Securities are in default within the meaning of such Act).

 

(7)            Such
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other agreement or
instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound.

(9)            The

Section 13.05     Deposited
Money and U.S. Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Miscellaneous Provisions.

 

Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph
of Section 10.03, all money, U.S. Government Obligations and Foreign Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited
with the Trustee or other qualifying trustee (solely for purposes of this Section and Section 13.06, the Trustee and any such
other trustee are referred to collectively as the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 13.04 in respect of any Securities shall
be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment,
either directly or through any such Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine,
to the Holders of such Securities, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal and any premium and interest, but
money so held in trust need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. Money, U.S. Government Obligations
and Foreign Government Obligations so held in trust shall not be subject to the provisions of Article Fourteen.

 

The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee
against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations or the Foreign Government Obligations
deposited pursuant to Section 13.04 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other
charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of Outstanding Securities.

 

Anything in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or U.S. Government Obligations or the
Foreign Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 13.04 with respect to any Securities which, in the opinion of a
nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are
in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect the Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as the case
may be, with respect to such Securities.

 

Section 13.06     Reinstatement.

 

If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to
apply any money in accordance with this Article with respect to any Securities by reason of any order or judgment of any court or
governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the obligations under this Indenture and
such Securities from which the Company has been discharged or released pursuant to Section 13.02 or 13.03 shall be revived and reinstated
as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article with respect to such Securities, until such time as the Trustee or Paying
Agent is permitted to apply all money held in trust pursuant to Section 13.05 with respect to such Securities in accordance with
this Article; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of principal of or any premium or interest on any such Security
following such reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights (if any) of the Holders of such Securities
to receive such payment from the money so held in trust.

ARTICLE Fourteen

SUBORDINATION OF SECURITIES

 

Section 14.01     Securities
Subordinate to Senior Indebtedness.

 

The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder
of a Security, by his acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in
this Article, the indebtedness represented by the Securities and the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on
each and all of the Securities are hereby expressly made subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all
Senior Indebtedness and, to the extent set forth in Section 14.15, of all Other Financial Obligations.

 

Section 14.02     Payment
Over of Proceeds Upon Dissolution, Etc.

 

In the event of (a) any insolvency or bankruptcy
case or proceeding, or any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar case or proceeding in connection therewith, relative
to the Company or to its creditors, as such, or to its assets, or (b) any liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the Company,
whether voluntary or involuntary and whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, or (c) any assignment for the benefit of
creditors or any other marshaling of assets and liabilities of the Company, then and in any such event the holders of Senior Indebtedness
shall be entitled to receive payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on or in respect of all Senior Indebtedness, or provision
shall be made for such payment in money or money’s worth, before the Holders of the Securities are entitled to receive any payment
on account of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on the Securities, and to that end the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall
be entitled to receive, for application to the payment thereof, any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash,
property or securities, including any such payment or distribution which may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any
other indebtedness of the Company being subordinated to the payment of the Securities, which may be payable or deliverable in respect
of the Securities in any such case, proceeding, dissolution, liquidation or other winding up or event.

 

In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Section, the Trustee or the Holder of any Security shall have received any payment or distribution of assets of the
Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, including any such payment or distribution which may be payable
or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of the Company being subordinated to the payment of the Securities,
before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full or payment thereof provided for, and if such fact shall, at or prior to the time of such
payment or distribution, have been made known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or, as the case may be, such Holder, then and in
such event such payment or distribution shall (to the extent in its possession, in the case of the Trustee) be paid over or delivered
forthwith to the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee, agent or other Person making payment or distribution
of assets of the Company for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all
Senior Indebtedness in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior Indebtedness.

 

    -66-

     

    

 

For purposes of this Article only, 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 which are subordinated
in right of payment to all Senior Indebtedness which may at the time be outstanding to substantially the same extent as, or to a greater
extent than, the Securities are so subordinated as provided in this Article. The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the
Company into, another Person or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company following the conveyance or transfer of its properties and
assets substantially as an entirety to another Person upon the terms and conditions set forth in Article Eight shall not be deemed
a dissolution, winding up, liquidation, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors or marshaling of assets and liabilities
of the Company for the purposes of this Section if the Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or
the Person which acquires by conveyance or transfer such properties and assets substantially as an entirety, as the case may be, shall,
as a part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, comply with the conditions set forth in Article Eight.

 

Section 14.03     Prior
Payment to Senior Indebtedness Upon Acceleration of Securities.

 

In the event that any Securities are declared
due and payable before their Stated Maturity, then and in such event the holders of Senior Indebtedness outstanding at the time such
Securities become so due and payable shall be entitled to receive payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on or in
respect of all Senior Indebtedness or provision shall be made for such payment in money or money’s worth, before the Holders
of the Securities are entitled to receive any payment (including any payment which may be payable by reason of the payment of any
other indebtedness of the Company being subordinated to the payment of the Securities) by the Company on account of the principal of
(or premium, if any) or interest on the Securities or on account of the purchase or other acquisition of Securities; provided,
however, that nothing in this Section shall prevent the satisfaction of any sinking fund payment in accordance with
Article Twelve by delivering and crediting pursuant to Section 12.02 Securities which have been acquired (upon redemption
or otherwise) prior to such declaration of acceleration.

 

In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Company shall make any payment to the Trustee or the Holder of any Security prohibited by the foregoing provisions of this Section,
and if such fact shall, at or prior to the time of such payment, have been made known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or, as the
case may be, such Holder, then and in such event such (to the extent in its possession, in the case of the Trustee) payment shall be paid
over and delivered forthwith to the Company.

 

The provisions of this Section shall not apply
to any payment with respect to which Section 14.02 would be applicable.

 

    -67-

     

    

 

Section 14.04     No
Payment When Senior Indebtedness in Default.

 

(a)            In
the event and during the continuation of any default in the payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Senior Indebtedness
beyond any applicable grace period with respect thereto, or in the event that any event of default with respect to any Senior Indebtedness
shall have occurred and be continuing permitting the holders of such Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee on behalf of the holders thereof)
to declare such Senior Indebtedness due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable, unless
and until such event of default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist and such acceleration shall have been rescinded
or annulled, or (b) in the event any judicial proceeding shall be pending with respect to any such default in payment or event of
default, then no payment (including any payment which may be payable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of the Company
being subordinated to the payment of the Securities) shall be made by the Company on account of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest
on the Securities or on account of the purchase or other acquisition of Securities; provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall
prevent the satisfaction of any sinking fund payment in accordance with Article Twelve by delivering and crediting pursuant to Section 12.02
Securities which have been acquired (upon redemption or otherwise) prior to such default in payment or event of default.

 

In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Company shall make any payment to the Trustee or the Holder of any Security prohibited by the foregoing provisions of this Section,
and if such fact shall, at or prior to the time of such payment, have been made known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or, as the
case may be, such Holder, then and in such event such payment shall (to the extent in its possession, in the case of the Trustee) be paid
over and delivered forthwith to the Company.

 

The provisions of this Section shall not apply
to any payment with respect to which Section 14.02 would be applicable.

 

Section 14.05     Payment
Permitted in Certain Situations.

 

Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere
in this Indenture or in any of the Securities shall prevent (a) the Company, at any time except during the pendency of any case,
proceeding, dissolution, liquidation or other winding up, assignment for the benefit of creditors or other marshaling of assets and liabilities
of the Company referred to in Section 14.02 or under the conditions described in Section 14.03 or 14.04, from making payments
at any time of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities or (b) the application by the Trustee of any money
deposited with it hereunder to the payment of or on account of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of
any series or the retention of such payment by the Holder, if, at the time of such application by the Trustee, it did not have actual
knowledge that such payment would have been prohibited by the provisions of this Article.

 

Section 14.06     Subrogation
to Rights of Holders of Senior Indebtedness.

 

Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness,
the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated to the extent of the payments or distributions made to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness
pursuant to the provisions of this Article to the rights of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness to receive payments and distributions
of cash, property and securities applicable to the Senior Indebtedness until the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the
Securities shall be paid in full. For purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness
of any cash, property or securities to which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions
of this Article, and no payments over pursuant to the provisions of this Article to the holders of Senior Indebtedness by Holders
of the Securities or the Trustee, shall, as among the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holders
of the Securities, be deemed to be a payment or distribution by the Company to or on account of the Senior Indebtedness.

Section 14.07     Provisions
Solely to Define Relative Rights.

 

The provisions
of this Article are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities on
the one hand and the holders of Senior Indebtedness (and, in the case of Section 14.15, Entitled Persons in respect of Other
Financial Obligations) on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities
is intended to or shall (a) impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness and other
than Entitled Persons in respect of Other Financial Obligations and the Holders of the Securities, the obligation of the Company,
which is absolute and unconditional (and which, subject to the rights under this Article of the holders of Senior Indebtedness
and Entitled Persons in respect of Other Financial Obligations, is intended to rank equally with all other general obligations of
the Company), to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities as and
when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms; or (b) affect the relative rights against the
Company of the Holders of the Securities and creditors of the Company other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness and Entitled
Persons in respect of Other Financial Obligations; or (c) prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security from exercising all
remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this
Article of the holders of Senior Indebtedness and under Section 14.15 of Entitled Persons in respect of Other Financial
Obligations, to receive cash, property and securities otherwise payable or deliverable to the Trustee or such Holder.

 

Section 14.08     Trustee
to Effectuate Subordination.

 

Each Holder of a Security by his acceptance thereof
authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination
provided in this Article and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

 

Section 14.09     No
Waiver of Subordination Provisions.

 

No right of any present or future holder of any
Senior Indebtedness to enforce subordination as herein provided 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 non-compliance by the
Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof any such holder may have or be
otherwise charged with.

 

    -69-

     

    

 

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

 

Section 14.10     Notice
to Trustee.

 

The Company shall give prompt written notice to
a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of any fact known to the Company which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee
in respect of the Securities.

 

Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Article or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts
which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities, unless and until a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the Company or a holder of Senior Indebtedness or from any
trustee therefor or from any Entitled Persons in respect of Other Financial Obligations; and, prior to the receipt of any such
written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.01, 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 at least three 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 (and premium, if any) or interest on any security) then
notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such money and to apply
the same to the purpose for which such money was received and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be
received by it within three Business Days prior to such date.

 

Subject to the provisions of Section 6.01,
the Trustee shall be entitled to 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 therefor) or an Entitled Person in respect of Other Financial Obligations to establish that such notice has
been given by a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee therefor) or an Entitled Person in respect of Other Financial Obligations.
In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a
holder of Senior Indebtedness or an Entitled Person in respect of Other Financial Obligations to participate in any payment or distribution
pursuant to this Article, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to
the amount of Senior Indebtedness or other Financial Obligations 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.

Section 14.11     Reliance
on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating Agent.

 

Upon
any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.01,
and the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in
which such insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution, winding up or similar case or proceeding is
pending, or a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee for the benefit of creditors,
agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, delivered to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities,
for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of Senior Indebtedness
and other indebtedness of the Company and the Entitled Persons in respect of Other Financial Obligations, the amount thereof or payable
thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article.

 

Section 14.12     Trustee
Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Indebtedness or Entitled Persons.

 

The
Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or Entitled Persons in respect of Other
Financial Obligations and shall not be liable to any such holders or creditors if it shall in good faith mistakenly pay over or distribute
to Holders of Securities or to the Company or to any other Person cash, property or securities to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness
or Entitled Persons in respect of Other Financial Obligations shall be entitled by virtue of this Article or otherwise.

 

Section 14.13     Rights
of Trustee as Holder of Senior Indebtedness or Entitled Person; Preservation of Trustee’s Rights.

 

The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be
entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article with respect to any Senior Indebtedness which may at any time be held by it
and with respect to any Other Financial Obligations owed to the Trustee as an Entitled Person, to the same extent as any other holder
of Senior Indebtedness or Entitled Person in respect of Other Financial Obligations, as the case may be, and nothing in this Indenture
shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder or Entitled Person.

 

Nothing in this Article shall apply to claims
of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 6.07.

 

    -71-

     

    

 

Section 14.14     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 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 in addition to or in place of the Trustee;
provided, however, that this Section 14.14 shall not apply to the Company or any Affiliate of the Company if it or such Affiliate
acts as Paying Agent.

 

Section 14.15     Securities
to Rank Pari Passu with All Other Securities; Payment of Proceeds in Certain Cases.

 

(a)            Subject
to the provisions of this Section and to any provisions established or determined with respect to Securities of any series pursuant
to Section 3.01, the Securities shall rank pari passu in right of payment with all other Securities.

 

(b)            Upon
the occurrence of any of the events specified in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of the first paragraph of Section 14.02, the
provisions of that Section shall be given effect to determine the amount of cash, property or securities which may be payable or
deliverable as between the holders of Senior Indebtedness, on the one hand, and the Holders of Securities, on the other hand.

 

(c)            If,
after giving effect to the provisions of Section 14.02 and Section 14.06, any amount of cash, property or securities shall
be available for payment or distribution in respect of the Securities (“Excess Proceeds”), and any Entitled
Persons in respect of Other Financial Obligations shall not have received payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on or
in respect of such Other Financial Obligations (and provision shall not have been made for such payment in money or money’s
worth), then such Excess Proceeds shall first be applied (ratably with any amount of cash, property or securities available for
payment or distribution in respect of any other indebtedness of the Company that by its express terms provides for the payment over
of amounts corresponding to Excess Proceeds to Entitled Persons in respect of Other Financial Obligations) to pay or provide for the
payment of the Other Financial Obligations remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all Other Financial Obligations in full,
after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for Entitled Persons in respect of Other Financial Obligations.
Any Excess Proceeds remaining after the payment (or provision for payment) in full of all Other Financial Obligations shall be
available for payment or distribution in respect of the Securities.

 

(d)            In
the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of subsection (c) of this Section, after the occurrence of any of the events
specified in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of the first paragraph of Section 14.02, the Trustee or Holder of any Security shall
have received any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities,
before Senior Indebtedness and all Other Financial Obligations are paid in full or payment thereof duly provided for, and if such fact
shall, at or prior to the time of such payment or distribution, have been made known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or, as the
case may be, such Holder, then and in such event, subject to any obligation that the Trustee or such Holder may have pursuant to Section 14.02,
such payment or distribution shall (to the extent in its possession, in the case of the Trustee) be paid over or delivered forthwith to
the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee, agent or other Person making payment or distribution of
assets of the Company for payment in accordance with subsection (c).

 

    -72-

     

    

 

(e)            Subject
to the payment in full of all Other Financial Obligations, the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated (equally and ratably
with the holders of all indebtedness of the Company that by its express terms provides for the payment over of amounts corresponding
to Excess Proceeds to Entitled Persons in respect of Other Financial Obligations and is entitled to like rights of subrogation) to
the extent of the payments or distributions made to Entitled Persons in respect of Other Financial Obligations pursuant to
subsection (c) or (d) of this Section to the rights of the Entitled Persons in respect of Other Financial Obligations
to receive payments and distributions of cash, property and securities applicable to the Other Financial Obligations until the
principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities shall be paid in full. For purposes of such subrogation, no
payments or distributions to Entitled Persons in respect of Other Financial Obligations of any cash, property or securities to which
Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Section, and no payments over pursuant
to the provisions of this Section to Entitled Persons in respect of Other Financial Obligations by Holders of Securities or the
Trustee, shall, as among the Company, its creditors other than Entitled Persons in respect of Other Financial Obligations and the
Holders of Securities be deemed to be a payment or distribution by the Company to or on account of the Other Financial
Obligations.

 

(f)            The
provisions of subsections (c), (d) and (e) of this Section are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the
relative rights of the Holders of the Securities, on the one hand, and the Entitled Persons in respect of Other Financial Obligations,
on the other hand, after giving effect to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness, as provided in this Article. Nothing contained
in subsections (c), (d) and (e) of this Section is intended to or shall affect the relative rights against the Company
of the Holders of the Securities and creditors of the Company other than Entitled Persons in respect of Other Financial Obligations.

 

Section 14.16     Certain
Conversions Deemed Payment.

 

For
purposes of this Article only, the issuance and delivery of junior securities upon conversion of Securities in accordance
with Article Fifteen shall not be deemed to constitute a payment or distribution on account of the purchase or other acquisition
of Securities, and (2) the payment, issuance or delivery of cash, property or securities (other than junior securities) upon conversion
of a security shall be deemed to constitute payment on account of the principal of such Securities. For purposes of this Section, the
term “junior securities” means (a) shares of any stock of any class of the Company and (b) securities of the Company
which are subordinated in right of payment to all Senior Indebtedness and Other Financial Obligations which may be outstanding at the
time of issuance or delivery of such securities to substantially the same extent as, or to a greater extent than, the Securities are so
subordinated as provided in this Article. Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is
intended to or shall impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holders of the Securities,
the right, which is absolute and unconditional, of the Holder of any convertible Security to convert such Security in accordance with
Article Fifteen.

ARTICLE Fifteen

CONVERSION OF SECURITIES

 

Section 15.01     Applicability
of Article.

 

The
Company may elect, at its option at any time, to have Section 15.02 applied to any Securities or any series of Securities,
as the case may be, designated pursuant to Section 3.01 as being convertible into Common Stock of the Company pursuant to such Section 15.02,
in accordance with any applicable requirements provided pursuant to Section 3.01 and upon compliance with the conditions set forth
below in this Article. Any such election shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution or in another manner specified as contemplated by Section 3.01
for such Securities.

 

Section 15.02     Conversion
Privilege and Conversion Price.

 

Subject to and upon compliance with the
provisions of this Article, at the option of the Holder thereof, any Security or any portion of the principal amount thereof which
is an integral multiple of the authorized denomination thereof may be converted at the principal amount thereof, or of such portion
thereof, into fully paid and nonassessable shares (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest 1/100 of a share) of Common Stock
of the Company, at the conversion price for Securities of such series, determined as hereinafter provided, in effect at the time of
conversion. Such conversion right shall commence at the opening of business on the Initial Conversion Date and expire at the close
of business on the Final Conversion Date. In case a Security or portion thereof is called for redemption, such conversion right in
respect of the Security or portion so called shall expire at the close of business on the Redemption Date, unless the Company
defaults in making the payment due upon redemption.

 

The price at which shares of Common Stock shall
be delivered upon conversion of Securities of a series (herein called the “conversion price” for Securities of such series)
shall be initially the Initial Conversion Price for Securities of such series per share of Common Stock. The conversion price shall be
adjusted in certain instances as provided in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (g) of Section 15.05.

 

Section 15.03     Exercise
of Conversion Privilege.

 

In order to exercise the conversion privilege,
the Holder of any Security to be converted shall surrender such Security, duly endorsed or assigned to the Company or in blank, at any
office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose pursuant to Section 10.02, accompanied by written notice to the Company
at such office or agency that the Holder elects to convert such Security or, if less than the entire principal amount thereof is to be
converted, the portion thereof to be converted. Securities surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on
any Regular Record Date next preceding any Interest Payment Date to the opening of business on such Interest Payment Date shall (except
in the case of Securities or portions thereof which have been called for redemption on a Redemption Date within such period) be accompanied
by payment in legal tender or other funds acceptable to the Company of an amount equal to the interest payable on such Interest Payment
Date on the principal amount of Securities being surrendered for conversion. Except as provided in the preceding sentence and subject
to the last paragraph of Section 3.07, no payment or adjustment shall be made upon any conversion on account of any interest accrued
on the Securities surrendered for conversion or on account of any dividends on the Common Stock issued upon conversion.

 

    -74-

     

    

 

Securities shall be deemed to have been
converted immediately prior to the close of business on the day of surrender of such Securities for conversion in accordance with
the foregoing provisions, and at such time the rights of the Holders of such Securities as Holders shall cease, and the Person or
Persons entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or
holders of such Common Stock at such time. As promptly as practicable on or after the conversion date, the Company shall issue and
shall deliver at such office or agency a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion, together with payment in lieu of any fraction of a share, as provided in Section 15.04. In the case of any Security
of a series which is converted in part only, upon such conversion the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Security or Securities of such series of authorized
denominations in aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the principal amount of such Security.

 

Section 15.04     Fractions
of Shares.

 

No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued
upon conversion of Securities. If more than one Security of a series shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder,
the number of full shares which shall be issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount
of the Securities of such series (or specified portions thereof) so surrendered. Instead of any fractional share of Common Stock which
would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any Security or Securities (or specified portion thereof), the Company shall pay a cash
adjustment in respect of such fraction in an amount equal (computed to the nearest cent) to the same fraction of the market price per
share of Common Stock (as determined by the Board of Directors or in any manner prescribed by the Board of Directors) at the close of
business on the day of conversion.

 

Section 15.05     Adjustment
of Conversion Price.

 

(a)            In
case at any time after the date of establishment of the Initial Conversion Price with respect to Securities of a series the Company shall
pay or make a dividend or other distribution in shares of Common Stock on any class of capital stock of the Company, the conversion price
in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such conversion price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall
be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to
become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. For the purposes
of this paragraph, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company.
The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.

 

    -75-

     

    

 

(b)            In
case at any time after the date of establishment of the Initial Conversion Price with respect to Securities of a series the Company
shall issue rights or warrants to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock
at a price per share less than the current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) of this Section) of
the Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the conversion
price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination shall be reduced by
multiplying such conversion price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at
the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the
offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current
market price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the
dated fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase, such reduction
to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. For the
purposes of this subsection (b), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the
treasury of the Company. The Company will not issue any rights or warrants in respect of shares of Common Stock held in the treasury
of the Company.

 

(c)            In
case at any time after the date of establishment of the Initial Conversion Price with respect to Securities of a series outstanding shares
of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the conversion price in effect at the opening of
business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and, conversely,
in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the conversion price
in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately
increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following
the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.

 

(d)            In
case at any time after the date of establishment of the Initial Conversion Price with respect to Securities of a series the Company shall,
by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities,
but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in subsection (b) of this Section, any dividend or distribution paid in cash out
of the retained earnings of the Company and any dividend or distribution referred to in subsection (a) of this Section), the conversion
price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior
to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of
which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) of this Section) of the
Common Stock on the date fixed for such determination less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose
determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution filed with the Trustee) of the portion of assets or evidences of
indebtedness so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such current market price per share of
the Common Stock, such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed
for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.

 

    -76-

     

    

 

(e)            The
reclassification of Common Stock into securities other than Common Stock (other than any reclassification upon a consolidation or
merger to which Section 15.02 applies) shall be deemed to involve (a) a distribution of such securities other than Common
Stock to all holders of Common Stock (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be “the date fixed
for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution” and “the date fixed for such
determination” within the meaning of subsection (d) of this Section), and (b) a subdivision or combination, as the
case may be, of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such reclassification into the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately thereafter (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be
 “the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective” or “the day upon which such combination becomes
effective”, as the case may be, and “the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective” within
the meaning of subsection (c) of this Section).

 

(f)            For
the purpose of any computation under subsections (b) and (d) of this Section, the current market price per share of Common Stock
on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily closing prices for the 30 consecutive Business Days selected by the Company
commencing not less than 30 nor more than 45 Business Days before the day in question. The closing price for each day shall be the last
reported sales price regular way or, in case no such reported sale takes place on such day, the average of the reported closing bid and
asked prices regular way, in either case, on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock are listed or admitted
to trading or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the average of the closing
bid and asked prices in the over-the-counter market as furnished by any New York Stock Exchange member firm selected from time to time
by the Company for that purpose.

 

(g)            The
Company may make such reductions in the conversion price, in addition to those required by subsections (a), (b), (c) and (d) of
this Section, as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or
stock rights shall not be taxable to the recipients.

 

Section 15.06     Notice
of Adjustments of Conversion Price.

 

Whenever the conversion price is adjusted as herein
provided:

 

(1)            the
Company shall compute the adjusted conversion price in accordance with Section 15.05 and shall prepare a certificate signed by the
Treasurer of the Company setting forth the adjusted conversion price and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment
is based, and such certificate shall forthwith be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of Securities
pursuant to Section 10.02; and

 

    -77-

     

    

 

(2)            a
notice stating that the conversion price has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted conversion price shall forthwith be required,
and as soon as practicable after it is required, such notice shall be mailed by the Company to all Holders at their respective last addresses
as they shall appear in the Security Register or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary (with a copy to the Trustee).

 

Section 15.07     Notice
of Certain Corporate Action.

 

In case at any time after 20 Business Days preceding
the Initial Conversion Date:

 

(1)            the
Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock payable otherwise than in cash out of its retained earnings;
or

 

(2)            the
Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of its Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares
of capital stock of any class or of any other rights; or

 

(3)            of
any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding shares of Common Stock),
or of any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Company is required,
or of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or

 

(4)            of
the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; then the Company shall cause to be filed at each office

at their respective last addresses as they shall appear in the Security Register or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of the

to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken

and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock
for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation
or winding up.

to Reserve Common Stock.

Section 15.09     Taxes
on Conversions.

 

The Company will pay any and all taxes that may
be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of Securities pursuant hereto. The Company shall
not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares
of Common Stock in a name other than that of the Holder of the Security or Securities to be converted, and no such issue or delivery shall
be made unless and until the Person requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax, or has established to the
satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

 

Section 15.10     Covenant
as to Common Stock.

 

The Company covenants that all shares of Common
Stock which may be issued upon conversion of Securities will upon issue be fully paid and nonassessable and, except as provided in Section 15.09,
the Company will pay all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

 

Section 15.11     Cancellation
of Converted Securities.

 

All Securities delivered for conversion shall be
delivered to the Trustee to be cancelled by or at the direction of the Trustee, which shall dispose of the same as provided in Section 3.09.

 

Section 15.12     Provisions
in Case of Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets.

 

In case of any consolidation of the Company
with, or merger of the Company into, any other Person, any merger of another Person into the Company (other than a merger which does
not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company) or
any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the Person formed by such consolidation or resulting
from such merger or which acquires such assets, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver to the Trustee in accordance with
Section 9.01(9) a supplemental indenture providing that the Holder of each Security then outstanding shall have the right
thereafter, during the period such Security shall be convertible as specified in Section 15.02, to convert such Security only
into the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by a
holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which such Security might have been converted immediately prior
to such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer, assuming such holder of Common Stock of the Company (i) is not a Person with
which the Company consolidated or into which the Company merged or which merged into the Company or to which such sale or transfer
was made, as the case may be (“constituent Person”), or an Affiliate of a constituent Person and (ii) failed to
exercise his rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such
consolidation, merger, sale or transfer (provided that if the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon
such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer is not the same for each share of Common Stock of the Company held immediately prior to
such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by others than a constituent Person or an Affiliate thereof and in respect of which
such rights of election shall not have been exercised (“non-electing share”), then for the purpose of this
Section the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer
by each non-electing share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the non-electing
shares), and assuming, if such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer is prior to the Initial Conversion Date, that the Securities
were convertible at the time of such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer at the initial conversion price specified in
Section 15.02 as adjusted from the date of establishment of the Initial Conversion Price with respect to Securities of a series
to such time pursuant to subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (g) of Section 15.05. Such supplemental indenture shall
provide for adjustments which, for events subsequent to the effective date of such supplemental indenture, shall be as nearly
equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article. The above provisions of this Section shall
similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or transfers.

 

    -79-

     

    

 

Section 15.13     Responsibility
of Trustee.

 

The
Trustee shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of a Security to make or cause to be made any adjustment
of the conversion price, or to determine the price of Common Stock or any other security, whether any facts exist which may require any
such calculation with respect to, or adjustment, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustment when made, or with respect
to any method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. The Trustee shall not
be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock or of any securities or property
which may at any time be issued or delivered upon conversion of any Security; and the Trustee makes no representation with respect thereto.
The Trustee shall not be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock
certificates or other securities or property upon surrender of any Security for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the
covenants of the Company contained in this Article Fifteen. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee
shall not be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered into
pursuant to Section 5.12 relating either to the kind or amount of
shares of stock or securities or property (including cash) receivable by Holders upon the conversion of their Securities after any event
referred to in such Section 5.12 or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Section 6.01,
may accept (without any independent investigation) as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected
in conclusively relying upon, the Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel (which the Company shall be obligated to file with
the Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any other agent acting
under this Indenture (other than the Company, if acting in such capacity) shall have any obligation to make any calculation or to determine
whether the Securities may be surrendered for conversion pursuant to this Indenture, or to notify the Company or the Depositary or any
of the Holders if the Securities have become convertible pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

 

This instrument may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one
and the same instrument. All notices, approvals, consents, requests and any communications hereunder must be in writing (provided that
any such communication sent to Trustee hereunder must be in the form of a document that is signed manually or by way of a digital signature
provided by DocuSign (or such other digital signature provider as specified in writing to Trustee by the authorized representative), in
English. Company agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of using digital signatures and electronic methods to submit communications
to Trustee, including without limitation the risk of Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse
by third parties.

Trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”), under the Base Indenture (as hereinafter defined).

 

RECITALS

 

WHEREAS,
the Company and the Trustee have heretofore executed and delivered the Indenture, dated as of January 24, 2022 (the “Base
Indenture” and, as hereby supplemented and amended, the “Indenture”), providing for the establishment from
time to time of one or more series (each, a “Series”) of securities evidencing indebtedness of the Company (hereinafter
called the “Securities”), and the issuance by the Company from time to time of Securities under the Indenture;

 

WHEREAS,
Section 9.01(7) of the Base Indenture provides that the Company and the Trustee may enter into an indenture supplemental
to the Base Indenture to establish a Series of Securities thereunder and the form and terms, provisions and conditions of Securities
of such Series of Securities as permitted by Section 2.01 and Section 3.01 of the Base Indenture;

 

WHEREAS,
pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Base Indenture, the Company desires to establish a new Series of Securities under the
Indenture to be known as its “3.50% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes Due 2032” (the “2032 Series”)
and to establish and set the form and terms, provisions and conditions of the notes of the 2032 Series (the “Notes”),
as provided in this First Supplemental Indenture and to provide for the initial issuance of Notes of the 2032 Series in the aggregate
principal amount of $150,000,000; and

 

WHEREAS,
the Company has requested that the Trustee execute and deliver this First Supplemental Indenture; and the Company confirms all requirements
necessary to make this First Supplemental Indenture a valid, binding and enforceable instrument in accordance with its terms, and to make
the Notes, when executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with this Indenture, the valid, binding
and enforceable obligations of the Company, have been satisfied; and the execution and delivery of this First Supplemental Indenture has
been duly authorized in all respects.

 

NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE 1

 

DEFINITIONS

 

Section 1.01.
Relation to Base Indenture. This First Supplemental Indenture constitutes an integral part of, and amends and supplements,
the Base Indenture as set forth herein.

 

Section 1.02.
Definition of Terms. For all purposes of this First Supplemental Indenture:

 

(a) Capitalized terms
used herein without definition shall have the meanings set forth in the Base Indenture, provided that if the definition
of a capitalized term defined in this First Supplemental Indenture conflicts with the definition of that capitalized term in the Base
Indenture, the definition of that capitalized term in this First Supplemental Indenture shall control for purposes of this First Supplemental
Indenture and the Notes;

 

(b) a term defined anywhere
in this First Supplemental Indenture has the same meaning throughout this First Supplemental Indenture;

 

    1

     

    

 

(c) the singular includes
the plural and vice versa;

 

(d) headings are for
convenience of reference only and do not affect interpretation;

 

(e) unless otherwise
specified or unless the context requires otherwise, (i) all references in this First Supplemental Indenture to Sections refer to
the corresponding Sections of this First Supplemental Indenture and (ii) the terms “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder”
and any other word of similar import refer to this First Supplemental Indenture; and

 

(f) for purposes of this
First Supplemental Indenture and the Notes, the following terms have the meanings given to them in this Section 1.02:

 

“2032
Series” shall have the meaning set forth in the Recitals.

 

“Authenticating
Agent” means any Person authorized by the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.14 of the Base Indenture to act on behalf
of the Trustee to authenticate the Notes.

 

“Base
Indenture” shall have the meaning set forth in the Recitals.

 

“Benchmark”
means, initially, Three-Month Term SOFR; provided that, if the Calculation Agent determines on or prior to the Reference
Time for any Floating Rate Interest Period that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred
with respect to Three-Month Term SOFR or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement
for such Floating Rate Interest Period and any subsequent Floating Rate Interest Periods.

 

“Benchmark
Replacement” means the Interpolated Benchmark with respect to the then-current Benchmark, plus the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment
for such Benchmark; provided that if (a) the Calculation Agent cannot determine the Interpolated Benchmark as of the
Benchmark Replacement Date or (b) the then-current Benchmark is Three-Month Term SOFR and a Benchmark Transition Event and its related
Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to Three-Month Term SOFR (in which event no Interpolated Benchmark with respect
to Three-Month Term SOFR shall be determined), then “Benchmark Replacement” means the first alternative set forth in
the order below that can be determined by the Calculation Agent as of the Benchmark Replacement Date:

 

(1) Compounded SOFR;

 

(2) the sum of: (a) the
alternate rate that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark
for the applicable Corresponding Tenor and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

 

(3) the sum of: (a) the
ISDA Fallback Rate and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; and

 

(4) the sum of: (a) the
alternate rate that has been selected by the Calculation Agent as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding
Tenor, giving due consideration to any industry-accepted rate as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for Dollar-denominated floating
rate securities at such time, and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

 

In the event the Calculation
Agent on any determination date for an Interest Payment Date is required, but is unable, to determine Three-Month Term SOFR or other applicable
Benchmark in accordance with at least one of the procedures described herein, and the Company does not make a determination of Three-Month
SOFR in the Company’s sole discretion, Three-Month Term SOFR or other applicable Benchmark will be Three-Month Term SOFR or other
applicable Benchmark as determined on the previous interest determination date.

 

    2

     

    

 

“Benchmark
Replacement Adjustment” means the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Calculation Agent
as of the Benchmark Replacement Date:

 

(1) the spread adjustment,
or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero), that has been selected
or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement;

 

(2) if the applicable
Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is equivalent to the ISDA Fallback Rate, then the ISDA Fallback Adjustment; and

 

(3) the spread adjustment
(which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Calculation Agent giving due consideration to any industry-accepted
spread adjustment or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of the then-current Benchmark with
the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for Dollar-denominated floating rate securities at such time.

 

“Benchmark
Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative, or operational
changes (including, without limitation, changes to the definition of “Floating Rate Interest Period,” timing and frequency
of determining rates with respect to each Floating Rate Interest Period and making payments of interest, rounding of amounts or tenors,
and other administrative matters) that the Calculation Agent determines may be appropriate to reflect the adoption of such Benchmark Replacement
in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Calculation Agent determines that adoption of any portion of such
market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Calculation Agent determines that no market practice for use of the Benchmark
Replacement exists, in such other manner as the Calculation Agent determines is reasonably necessary).

 

“Benchmark
Replacement Date” means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

 

(1) in the case of clause
(1) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the relevant Reference Time in respect of any determination;

 

(2) in the case of clause
(2) or (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of the date of the public statement or publication
of information referenced therein and the date on which the administrator of the Benchmark permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide
the Benchmark; or

 

(3) in the case of clause
(4) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date of the public statement or publication of information
referenced therein.

 

For
the avoidance of doubt, if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference
Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such
determination.

 

    3

     

    

 

“Benchmark
Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

 

(1) if the Benchmark
is Three-Month Term SOFR, (a) the Relevant Governmental Body has not selected or recommended a forward-looking term rate for a tenor
of three months based on SOFR, (b) the development of a forward-looking term rate for a tenor of three months based on SOFR that
has been recommended or selected by the Relevant Governmental Body is not complete or (c) the Company determines that the use of
a forward-looking rate for a tenor of three months based on SOFR is not administratively feasible;

 

(2) a public
statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of the Benchmark announcing that such administrator has
ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark, permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or
publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark;

 

(3) a public statement
or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark, the central bank for the currency of
the Benchmark, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Benchmark, a resolution authority with jurisdiction
over the administrator for the Benchmark or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator
for the Benchmark, which states that the administrator of the Benchmark has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark permanently
or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to
provide the Benchmark; or

 

(4) a public statement
or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark announcing that the Benchmark is no
longer representative.

 

“Business
Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions
or trust companies in the City of New York, New York or any Place of Payment are authorized or obligated by law, regulation, or executive

“Calculation
Agent” means the Person appointed by the Company prior to the commencement of the Floating Rate Period (which may include the

Agent.

 

“Company”
shall have the meaning set forth in the Preamble unless and until a successor entity shall have become such pursuant to the applicable
provisions of this Indenture, and thereafter “Company” shall mean such successor entity.

 

“Compounded
SOFR” means the compounded average of SOFRs for the applicable Corresponding Tenor, with the rate, or methodology for this rate,
and conventions for this rate being established by the Calculation Agent in accordance with:

 

(1) the rate, or methodology
for this rate, and conventions for this rate selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for determining Compounded SOFR;
provided that:

 

(2) if, and to the extent
that, the Calculation Agent determines that Compounded SOFR cannot be determined in accordance with clause (1) above, then the rate,
or methodology for this rate, and conventions for this rate that have been selected by the Calculation Agent giving due consideration
to any industry-accepted market practice for Dollar-denominated floating rate securities at such time.

 

    4

     

    

 

For
the avoidance of doubt, the calculation of Compounded SOFR shall exclude the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment and the spread specified
in the definition thereof.

other obligations relating to letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances and similar obligations;

 

(7) obligations under
various hedging arrangements and agreements, including interest rate and currency hedging agreements and swap and nonswap forward agreements;

 

(8) all of the Company’s
obligations issued or assumed as the deferred purchase price of property or services, but excluding trade accounts payable and accrued
liabilities arising in the ordinary course of business; and

 

    7

     

    

 

(9) deferrals, renewals
or extensions of any of the indebtedness or obligations described in the clauses above.

 

However,
 “Senior Indebtedness” excludes:

 

(1) any indebtedness,
obligation or liability referred to in the definition of Senior Indebtedness above as to which, in the instrument creating, governing
or evidencing that indebtedness, obligation or liability, it is expressly provided that such indebtedness, obligation or liability is
not senior in right of payment to, is junior in right of payment to, or ranks equally in right of payment with, other specified types
of indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of the Company, which other specified types of indebtedness, obligations and liabilities
of the Company include the Notes;

 

(2) any indebtedness,
obligation or liability that is subordinated to other of the Company’s indebtedness, obligations or liabilities to substantially
the same extent as or to a greater extent than the Notes are subordinated;

 

(3) all obligations to

(4) the Notes and any
other securities issued pursuant to the Indenture, the Existing Subordinated Notes outstanding on the date of execution of this First
Supplemental Indenture and, unless expressly provided in the terms thereof, any of the Company’s indebtedness to the Company’s
subsidiaries.

 

As
used above, the term “purchase-money obligations” means indebtedness, obligations evidenced by a note, debenture, bond
or other instrument, whether or not secured by a lien or other security interest, issued to evidence the obligation to pay or a guarantee
of the payment of, and any deferred obligation for the payment of, the purchase price of property but excluding indebtedness or obligations
for which recourse is limited to the property purchased, issued or assumed as all or a part of the consideration for the acquisition of
property or services, whether by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, but does not include any trade accounts payable.

 

Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Federal Reserve Board (or other competent regulatory agency or authority) promulgates any rule or issues any
interpretation that defines general creditor(s), the main purpose of which is to establish criteria for determining whether the subordinated
debt of a bank holding company is to be included in its capital, then the term “general creditors” as used in this
definition of “Senior Indebtedness” in this First Supplemental Indenture will have the meaning as described in that rule or
interpretation.

 

“SOFR”
means the secured overnight financing rate published by the FRBNY, as the administrator of the Benchmark (or any successor administrator),
on the FRBNY’s Website.

 

“Tax
Event” shall mean the receipt by the Company of an opinion of Independent Tax Counsel to the effect that:

 

(1) an amendment to or
change (including any announced prospective amendment or change) in any law, treaty, statute or code, or any regulation thereunder, of
the United States or any of its political subdivisions or taxing authorities;

 

(2) a judicial decision,
administrative action, official administrative pronouncement, ruling, regulatory procedure, regulation, notice or announcement, including
any notice or announcement of intent to adopt or promulgate any ruling, regulatory procedure or regulation (any of the foregoing, an “administrative
or judicial action”);

 

    8

     

    

 

(3) an amendment to or
change in any official position with respect to, or any interpretation of, an administrative or judicial action or a law or regulation
of the United States that differs from the previously generally accepted position or interpretation; or

 

(4) a threatened challenge
asserted in writing in connection with an audit of the Company’s federal income tax returns or positions or a similar audit of any
of its Subsidiaries, or a publicly known threatened challenge asserted in writing against any other taxpayer that has raised capital through
the issuance of securities that are substantially similar to the Notes,

 

in
each case, occurring or becoming publicly known on or after the date of original issuance of the Notes, has resulted in more than an insubstantial
increase in the risk that the interest paid by the Company on the Notes is not, or within 90 days of receipt of such opinion of Independent
Tax Counsel, will not be, deductible by the Company, in whole or in part, for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

“Term
SOFR” means the forward-looking term rate for the applicable Corresponding Tenor based on SOFR that has been selected or recommended
by the Relevant Governmental Body.

 

“Term
SOFR Administrator” means any entity designated by the Relevant Governmental Body as the administrator of Term SOFR (or any
successor administrator).

 

“Three-Month
Term SOFR” means the rate for Term SOFR for a tenor of three months that is published by the Term SOFR Administrator at the
Reference Time for any Floating Rate Interest Period, as determined by the Calculation Agent after giving effect to the Three-Month Term
SOFR Conventions. All percentages used in or resulting from any calculation of Three-Month Term SOFR shall be rounded, if necessary, to
the nearest one-hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with 0.000005% rounded up to 0.00001%.

 

“Three-Month
Term SOFR Conventions” means any determination, decision, or election with respect to any technical, administrative, or operational
matter (including with respect to the manner and timing of the publication of Three-Month Term SOFR, or changes to the definition of “Floating
Rate Interest Period,” timing and frequency of determining Three-Month Term SOFR with respect to each Floating Rate Interest Period
and making payments of interest, rounding of amounts or tenors, and other administrative matters) that the Calculation Agent determines
may be appropriate to reflect the use of Three-Month Term SOFR as the Benchmark in a manner substantially consistent with market practice
(or, if the Calculation Agent determines that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the
Calculation Agent determines that no market practice for the use of Three-Month Term SOFR exists, in such other manner as the Calculation
Agent determines is reasonably necessary).

 

“Tier
2 Capital Event” shall mean the receipt by the Company of an opinion of Independent Bank Regulatory Counsel to the effect that,
as a result of (a) any amendment to, or change (including any announced prospective change) in, the laws or any regulations thereunder
of the United States or any rules, guidelines or policies of an applicable regulatory authority for the Company or (b) any official
administrative pronouncement or judicial decision interpreting or applying such laws or regulations, which amendment or change is effective
or which pronouncement or decision is announced on or after the date of original issuance of the Notes, the Notes do not constitute, or
within 90 days of the date of such opinion will not constitute, Tier 2 capital (or its then equivalent if the Company were subject to
such capital requirement) for purposes of capital adequacy guidelines of the Federal Reserve Board (or any successor regulatory authority
with jurisdiction over bank holding companies), as then in effect and applicable to the Company.

 

“Trustee”
shall have the meaning set forth in the Preamble.

 

“U.S.

ARTICLE 2

 

ESTABLISHMENT OF THE
2032 SERIES

 

AND GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE NOTES

 

Section 2.01.
Establishment of the Series of the Notes and Designation.

 

(a) There is hereby authorized
and established a Series of Securities designated as the “3.50% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes Due 2032,”
which Series of Securities is unsecured, subordinated to the Senior Indebtedness of the Company as provided herein and unlimited
in the aggregate principal amount that may be issued. The Notes initially issued pursuant to the terms of the Indenture shall be in an
aggregate principal amount of $150,000,000, which amount shall be set forth in a Company Order pursuant to Article Two of
the Base Indenture, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver said Notes in accordance with such Company Order and the
Indenture, including Section 2.06 of the Base Indenture. The Securities that are a part of such Series of Securities
shall be in the form and have the terms, provisions and conditions as set forth in the Base Indenture, this First Supplemental Indenture
and the Notes in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT A.

 

(b) The Company may,
from time to time, without notice to, or the consent of, the holders of the Notes, issue additional Securities ranking equally with the
Notes and identical to the Notes issued on the date hereof in all respects (except for the issue date, the offering price, the payment
of interest accruing prior to the issue date of such additional Securities and the first payment of interest following the issue date
of such additional Securities) in order that such additional Securities may be consolidated and form a single series with the Notes and
have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Notes. However, any additional Securities of the series of which the
Notes are a part that are issued and are not fungible with the outstanding Notes of such series for United States federal income tax purposes
will be issued under one or more separate CUSIP numbers and ISIN numbers. No limit exists on the aggregate principal amount of the additional
Securities of this series that the Company may issue in the future.

 

Section 2.02.
Maturity. The date upon which the Notes shall become due and payable at final maturity, together with any accrued and unpaid
interest then owing, is February 1, 2032 (the “Maturity Date”).

 

Section 2.03.
Form, Payment and Appointment. Except as provided in Section 2.06 of the Base Indenture, the Notes will be issued
only in book-entry form, will be represented by one or more Global Notes (as defined below) registered in the name of or held by The Depository
Trust Company (and any successor organization thereto) (“DTC”) or its nominee. Principal or the redemption price, if
any, of a Note shall be payable to the Person in whose name that Note is registered on the Maturity Date or Redemption Date, as the case
may be, provided that the redemption price, if any, principal of and interest on the Notes represented by one or more Global
Notes registered in the name of or held by DTC or its nominee will be payable in immediately available funds to DTC or its nominee, as
the case may be, as the registered holder of such Global Notes. The principal of any certificated Notes will be payable at the Place of
Payment set forth below.

 

The
Notes shall have such other terms as are set forth in the form thereof attached hereto as EXHIBIT A, which is incorporated
herein and made a part hereof.

 

The
Security Registrar, Authenticating Agent, and Paying Agent for the Notes shall initially be the Trustee. The Company will appoint a Person
to act as the Calculation Agent as provided under the definition of Calculation Agent and Section 2.05.

 

The
Place of Payment for the Notes shall be an office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose, which shall initially be the Corporate
Trust Office of the Trustee.

 

The
Notes will be issued and may be transferred only in minimum denominations of $1,000 or any amount in excess thereof that is an integral
multiple of $1,000. The Company will pay principal of and interest on the Notes in U.S. Dollars.

 

Section 2.04.
Global Note. The Notes shall be issued initially in the form of one or more fully registered global notes (each such global
note, a “Global Note”) registered in the name of DTC or its nominee and deposited with DTC or its designated custodian
or such other Depositary as any Authorized Officer of the Company may from time to time designate. Unless and until a Global Note is exchanged
for definitive certificated Notes, such Global Note may be transferred, in whole but not in part, and any payments on the Notes shall
be made, only to DTC or a nominee of DTC, or to a successor Depositary selected or approved by the Company or to a nominee of such successor
Depositary as provided in the Indenture.

 

    10

     

    

 

Section 2.05.
Interest.

 

(a) From and including
January 24, 2022, to, but excluding, February 1, 2027 (unless redeemed prior to such date pursuant to Section 3.02
hereof) (the “Fixed Rate Period”), the Notes will bear interest at a rate of 3.50% per year. During the Fixed Rate
Period, interest on the Notes will accrue from and including January 24, 2022, and will be payable semiannually in arrears on February 1
and August 1 of each year during the Fixed Rate Period, commencing on August 1, 2022 (each such date, a “Fixed Period
Interest Payment Date”). The interest payable on the Notes on any Fixed Period Interest Payment Date will be paid to the holder
in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on the 15th calendar day (whether or not a Business Day) immediately preceding
the Fixed Period Interest Payment Date.

 

(b) From and including
February 1, 2027, to, but excluding, the Maturity Date (unless redeemed prior to such date pursuant to Section 3.01 or
Section 3.02 hereof) (the “Floating Rate Period”), the Notes will bear interest at a floating rate per
year equal to the Benchmark plus 204 basis points. During the Floating Rate Period, interest on the Notes will accrue from and including
February 1, 2027 and will be payable quarterly in arrears on February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1 of each
year, commencing on May 1, 2027 (each such date, a “Floating Period Interest Payment Date” and, together with
a Fixed Period Interest Payment Date, an “Interest Payment Date”). The interest payable on the Notes on any Floating
Period Interest Payment Date will, except as noted in the immediately succeeding sentence, be paid to the holder in whose name a Note
is registered at the close of business on the 15th calendar day (whether or not a Business Day) immediately preceding the Floating Period
Interest Payment Date. However, interest that the Company pays on the Maturity Date will be paid to the Person to whom the principal will
be payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Benchmark is less than zero, then the Benchmark shall be deemed to be zero. The Calculation
Agent will provide the Company, the Trustee and the Paying Agent with written notice of the interest rate in effect on the Notes promptly
after the Reference Time (or such other date of determination for the applicable Benchmark) for each Floating Rate Interest Period.

 

(c) During the Fixed
Rate Period, interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. During the Floating Rate Period,
interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. Dollar amounts resulting from those calculations
will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded upward.

 

    11

     

    

 

 

(d) If any Fixed
Period Interest Payment Date for the Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the Company will postpone the interest or
principal payment to the next succeeding Business Day, but the payments made on such dates will be treated as being made on the date
that the payment was first due and the holders of the Notes will not be entitled to any further interest, principal or other
payments with respect to such postponements. If any Floating Period Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date falls on a day that
is not a Business Day, the Company will postpone the interest payment or the payment of principal and interest at the Maturity Date
to the next succeeding Business Day (and, with respect to the Maturity Date, no additional interest will accrue on the amount
payable for the period from and after the Maturity Date) unless, with respect to a Floating Period Interest Payment Date only, such
day falls in the next calendar month, in which case the Floating Period Interest Payment Date will instead be the immediately
preceding day that is a Business Day, and interest will accrue to, but excluding, such Floating Period Interest Payment Date as so
adjusted.

 

(e) The Company shall
appoint a Calculation Agent prior to the commencement of the Floating Rate Period. The Company will act as the initial Calculation Agent.
Absent manifest error, the Calculation Agent’s determination of the interest rate for any Floating Rate Interest Period will be
binding and conclusive upon the holders of the Notes (including, for the avoidance of doubt, each beneficial owner), the Company (if the
Company is not also the Calculation Agent) and the Trustee. The Trustee shall have no duty to confirm or verify any such calculation.
By its acquisition of the Notes, each holder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, each beneficial owner) acknowledges, accepts, consents
to and agrees to be bound by the Calculation Agent’s determination of the interest rate for each Floating Rate Interest Period,
including the Calculation Agent’s determination of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, Benchmark Replacement Date, Benchmark
Replacement, Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, and Benchmark Transition Event, including as may occur without any prior notice from the
Company or the Calculation Agent and without the need for the Company or the Calculation Agent to obtain any further consent from any
holder of the Notes. The Calculation Agent’s determination of any interest rate, and its calculation of interest payments, for any
Floating Rate Interest Period, will be maintained on file at the Calculation Agent’s principal offices, and will be made available
by the Company to any holder of the Notes upon request, and the Calculation Agent will provide the Company, the Trustee and the Paying
Agent with written notice of the interest rate in effect on the Notes promptly after the Reference Time (or such other date of determination
for the applicable Benchmark).

 

(f) The Calculation Agent
shall have all the rights, protections and indemnities afforded to the Trustee under the Indenture. The Company may remove the Calculation
Agent at any time. If the Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to act as Calculation Agent or is removed by the Company, the Company
shall promptly appoint a replacement Calculation Agent. Neither the Trustee nor Paying Agent shall be under any duty to succeed to, assume
or otherwise perform, any duties of the Calculation Agent, or to appoint a successor or replacement in the event of the Calculation Agent’s
resignation or removal or to replace the Calculation Agent in the event of a default, breach or failure of performance on the part of
the Calculation Agent with respect to the Calculation Agent’s duties and obligations under the Indenture. For the avoidance of doubt,
if at any time there is no Calculation Agent appointed by the Company, then the Company shall be the Calculation Agent.

 

(g) Effect of Benchmark
Transition Event.

 

(1) If the Calculation
Agent determines that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred on or prior to the Reference
Time in respect of any Floating Rate Interest Period during the Floating Rate Period, then the Benchmark Replacement will replace the
then-current Benchmark for all purposes relating to the Notes during such Floating Rate Interest Period and all remaining Floating Rate
Interest Periods. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Calculation Agent will have the right to make
Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time.

 

    12

     

    

 

 

(2) Notwithstanding anything
set forth in Section 2.05(b) above, if the Calculation Agent determines on or prior to the relevant Reference Time that
a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to Three-Month Term SOFR, then the
provisions set forth in this Section 2.05(g) will thereafter apply to all determinations of the Benchmark used to calculate
the interest rate on the Notes for each Floating Rate Interest Period.

 

(3) The Company and
the Calculation Agent are expressly authorized to make certain determinations, decisions, and elections under the terms of the
Notes, including with respect to the use of Three-Month Term SOFR as the Benchmark for the Floating Rate Period and under this Section 2.05(g).
Any determination, decision, or election that may be made by the Company or by the Calculation Agent under the terms of the Notes,
including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate, or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event,
circumstance, or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection (A) will be conclusive and
binding on the holders of the Notes, the Company (if the Company is not also making the decision) and the Trustee absent manifest
error, (B) if made by the Company as Calculation Agent, will be made in the Company’s sole discretion, (C) if made
by a Calculation Agent other than the Company, will be made after consultation with the Company, and the Calculation Agent will not
make any such determination, decision, or election to which the Company reasonably objects and (D) notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes, shall become effective without consent from the holders of the Notes or the Trustee or
any other party. If the Calculation Agent fails to make any determination, decision, or election that it is required to make under
the terms of the Notes, then the Company will make such determination, decision, or election on the same basis as described above.
In connection with such determination, decision, or election, the Company shall be treated as the Calculation Agent for all purposes
hereunder.

 

(4) The Company (or the
Calculation Agent) shall notify the Trustee in writing (i) upon the occurrence of the Benchmark Transition Event or the Benchmark
Replacement Date, and (ii) of any Benchmark Replacements, Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes after a Benchmark Transition Event.

 

(5) Neither the Trustee
nor Paying Agent (i) shall be under any obligation (A) to monitor, determine or verify the unavailability or cessation of Three-Month
Term SOFR (or other applicable Benchmark), or whether or when there has occurred, or to give notice to any other transaction party of
the occurrence of, any Benchmark Transition Event or Benchmark Replacement Date, (B) to select, determine or designate any Benchmark
Replacement, or other successor or replacement benchmark index, or whether any conditions to the designation of such a rate have been
satisfied, or (C) to select, determine or designate any Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, or other modifier to any replacement or
successor index, or (D) to determine whether or what Three-Month Term SOFR Conventions or Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes
are necessary or advisable, if any, in connection with any of the foregoing, and in each such case under clauses (A) through (D) above
shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon the selection, determination, and/or calculation thereof as provided by the Company or its
Calculation Agent, as applicable, and (ii) shall be liable for any inability, failure or delay on its part to perform any of its
duties set forth in the Indenture as a result of the unavailability of Three-Month Term SOFR (or other applicable Benchmark) and absence
of a designated replacement Benchmark, including as a result of any inability, delay, error or inaccuracy on the part of any other transaction
party, including without limitation the Calculation Agent, in providing any direction, instruction, notice or information required or
contemplated by the terms of the Indenture and reasonably required for the performance of such duties. The Trustee shall be entitled to
rely conclusively on all notices from the Company or the Calculation Agent regarding any Benchmark or Benchmark Replacement, including,
without limitation, in regards to Three-Month Term SOFR Conventions, a Benchmark Transition Event, Benchmark Replacement Date, and Benchmark
Replacement Conforming Changes. The Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for the actions or omissions of the Calculation Agent,
or any failure or delay in the performance of the Calculation Agent’s duties or obligations, nor shall it be under any obligation
to monitor or oversee the performance of the Calculation Agent. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determination
made, and any instruction, notice, Officers’ Certificate or other instruction or information provided by the Calculation Agent without
independent verification, investigation or inquiry of any kind.

 

    13

     

    

 

(6) If the then-current
Benchmark is Three-Month Term SOFR, the Calculation Agent will have the right to establish the Three-Month Term SOFR Conventions, and
if any of the foregoing provisions concerning the calculation of the interest rate and interest payments during the Floating Rate Period
are inconsistent with any of the Three-Month Term SOFR Conventions determined by the Calculation Agent, then the relevant Three-Month
Term SOFR Conventions will apply. Furthermore, if the Calculation Agent determines that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark
Replacement Date have occurred with respect to the Three-Month Term SOFR at any time when any of the Notes are outstanding, then the foregoing
provisions concerning the calculation of the interest rate and interest payments during the Floating Rate Period will be modified in accordance
with this Section 2.05(g).

 

Section 2.06.
Subordination.

 

(a) The Company, for
itself, its successors and assigns, covenants and agrees, and each holder of Notes by the holder’s acceptance thereof, likewise
covenants and agrees, that the payment of the principal of and interest on each and all of the Notes is and will be expressly subordinated
in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, subject to clause (j) of this Section 2.06,
to the extent and in the manner described in this Section 2.06 and Section 14.01 of the Base Indenture. The Company
shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the incurrence of Senior Indebtedness as well as the representative for such Senior
Indebtedness.

 

(b) In the event of the
insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation or other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Company (subject to the power
of a court of competent jurisdiction to make other equitable provision reflecting the rights conferred upon the Senior Indebtedness and
the holders thereof with respect to the Notes and the holders thereof by a lawful plan of reorganization under applicable bankruptcy law):

 

(i) the holders of all
Senior Indebtedness shall first be entitled to receive payment in full in accordance with the terms of such Senior Indebtedness of the
principal thereof and premium, if any, and interest due thereon (including interest accruing subsequent to the commencement of any proceeding
for the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law now or hereafter in effect)
before the holders of the Notes are entitled to receive any payment upon the principal of or interest on indebtedness evidenced by the
Notes;

 

(ii) any payment or distribution
of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the holders of the Notes would be
entitled except for the provisions of Section 14.01 of the Base Indenture and this Section 2.06, including any
such payment or distribution that may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of the Company being
subordinated to the payment of the Notes, shall be paid by the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution,
whether a bankruptcy trustee, a receiver or liquidating trustee or otherwise, directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their
representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of such
Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, in accordance with the priorities then existing among holders of Senior Indebtedness for payment
of the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest (including interest accruing
subsequent to the commencement of any proceeding for the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company under any applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency or similar law now or hereafter in effect) on the Senior Indebtedness held or represented by each, to the extent necessary
to make payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any other concurrent payment or distribution
to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness; it being understood that if the holders of the Notes shall fail to file a proper claim in
the form required by any proceeding referred to in this subparagraph (ii) prior to 30 days before the expiration of the time
to file such claim or claims, then the holders of Senior Indebtedness are hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim or claims for
and on behalf of the holders of the Notes, in the form required in any such proceeding; and

 

    14

     

    

 

(iii) in the event that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property
or securities, including any such payment or distribution that may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness
of the Company being subordinate to the payment of the Notes shall be received by the Trustee or holders of the Notes before all Senior
Indebtedness is paid in full, such payment or distribution shall be paid over to the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee,
custodian, assignee, agent or other Person making payment of assets of the Company for all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid until
all such Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders
of such Senior Indebtedness.

 

Subject
to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, the holders of the Notes shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of
Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company applicable to the Senior
Indebtedness until the principal of and interest on the Notes shall be paid in full and no such payments or distributions to holders
of such Senior Indebtedness to which the holders of the Notes would be entitled except for the provisions of Section 14.01
of the Base Indenture and this Section 2.06, of cash, property or securities otherwise distributable to the holders of
Senior Indebtedness shall, as between the Company, its creditors, other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the holders of
the Notes, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of the Senior Indebtedness. It is understood that the
provisions of this Section 2.06 are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the holders of
the Notes, on the one hand, and the holders of Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand. Upon any payment or distribution of assets of
the Company referred to in this Section 2.06, the Trustee and the holders of the Notes shall be entitled to rely upon
any order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which such proceeding for the insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership,
liquidation or other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Company is pending or upon a certificate of the liquidating
trustee or agent or other Person making any distribution to the Trustee or to the holders of the Notes for the purpose of
ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness
of the Company, the amount hereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts
pertinent thereto or to this Section 2.06. In the absence of any such liquidating trustee, agent or other Person, the
Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon a written notice by a Person representing itself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a
trustee or representative on behalf of such holder) as evidence that such Person is a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or is such a
trustee or representative). 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 Section 2.06, and no implied covenants or
obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be read into this Section 2.06 against the Trustee.
The Trustee, however, shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness by reason of the execution
of the Base Indenture, this First Supplemental Indenture, or any other supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to Section 3.01
or Article Nine of the Base Indenture, and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall mistakenly pay over or
distribute to or on behalf of holders of the Notes or the Company monies or assets to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness shall
be entitled by virtue of this Section 2.06.

 

(c) In the event and
during the continuation of any default in the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any Senior Indebtedness, beyond
any applicable grace period, or if any event of default with respect to any Senior Indebtedness shall have occurred and be continuing,
or would occur as a result of the payment referred to hereinafter, permitting the holders of such Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee on
behalf of the holders thereof) to accelerate the maturity thereof, then, unless and until such default or event of default shall have
been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist, no payment or principal of or interest on the Notes, shall be made by the Company.
The Trustee shall have no independent responsibility to determine whether such events exist that would prohibit a payment on the Notes
and may rely solely on the Company or a written notice from the representative for Senior Indebtedness with respect to any such determinations.

 

    15

     

    

 

(d) Nothing contained
in the Base Indenture, this First Supplemental Indenture, any other supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to Section 3.01
or Article Nine of the Base Indenture, or in any of the Notes shall: (i) impair, as between the Company, its creditors,
other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and holders of the Notes, the obligations of the Company, which are unconditional and absolute,
to make, or prevent the Company from making, at any time except as provided in clauses (b), (c), or (j) of this
Section 2.06, payments of principal of, or interest (including interest accruing subsequent to the commencement of any proceeding
for the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar law now or hereafter in effect)
on, the Notes, as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Notes; (ii) affect the relative
rights of the Holders of the Notes and creditors of the Company other than the holders of the Senior Indebtedness; (iii) except as
otherwise expressly provided in the Base Indenture, this First Supplemental Indenture and the Notes with respect to the limitation on
the rights of the Trustee and the holders of Notes, to accelerate the maturity of the Notes and pursue remedies upon such an acceleration,
prevent the holder of any Notes or the Trustee from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default thereunder,
subject to the rights, if any, under this Section 2.06 of the holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property
or securities of the Company received upon the exercise of such remedy; or (iv) prevent the application by the Trustee or any Paying
Agent of any monies deposited with it hereunder to the payment of or on account of the principal of, or interest on, the Notes or prevent
the receipt by the Trustee or any Paying Agent of such monies, if, prior to the third Business Day prior to such deposit, the Trustee
or such Paying Agent did not have written notice of any event prohibiting the making of such deposit by the Company.

 

(e) Each holder by his
acceptance of any Notes authorizes and expressly directs the Trustee on such holder’s behalf to take such action as may be necessary
or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in the Indenture, and appoints the Trustee such holder’s attorney-in-fact
for such purposes, including, in the event of any termination, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company (whether in bankruptcy,
insolvency, receivership, reorganization or similar proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors by the Company, a marshalling
of the assets and liabilities of the Company) tending toward the liquidation of the property and assets of the Company, the filing of
a claim for the unpaid balance of the Notes in the form required in those proceedings.

 

The
Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any fact known to the Company that would prohibit the Company from making any
payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Notes pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.06 or Section 14.10
of the Base Indenture. The Trustee shall not be charged with the knowledge of the existence of any default or event of default with respect
to any Senior Indebtedness or of any other facts that would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee unless and until a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received notice in writing at its Corporate Trust Office to that effect signed by an Officer
of the Company, or by a holder of Senior Indebtedness or a trustee or agent thereof; and prior to the receipt of any such written notice,
the Trustee shall, subject to Article Six of the Base Indenture, be entitled to assume that no such facts exist; provided
that, if the Trustee shall not have received the notice provided for in this Section 2.06 at least two Business Days prior
to the date upon which, by the terms of the Indenture, any monies shall become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation,
the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note), then, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Trustee shall have
full power and authority to receive any monies from the Company and to apply the same to the purpose for which they were received, and
shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary that may be received by it on or after such prior date except for an acceleration
of the Notes prior to such application. The foregoing shall not apply if the Paying Agent is the Company. The Trustee shall be entitled
to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing himself or itself to be a holder of any Senior Indebtedness
(or a trustee on behalf of, or agent of, such holder) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of such Senior Indebtedness
or a trustee or agent on behalf of any such holder. In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that any evidence is required
with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this
Section 2.06 or Article 16 of the Base Indenture, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, 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 Section 2.06
or Article Fourteen of the Base Indenture and, if such evidence is not furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee may defer any
payment to such Person pending such evidence being furnished to the Trustee or a judicial determination that such Person has the right
to receive such payment.

 

    16

     

    

 

(f) Notwithstanding the
provisions of this Section 2.06 or any other provisions of the Indenture, neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall be
charged with knowledge of the existence of any Senior Indebtedness or of any event that would prohibit the making of any payment or moneys
to or by the Trustee or such Paying Agent, unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall have received
written notice thereof from the Company or from the holder of any Senior Indebtedness or from the representative of any such holder.

 

(g) The Trustee shall
be entitled to all of the rights set forth in this Section 2.06 in respect of any Senior Indebtedness at any time held by
it in its individual capacity to the extent set forth in Section 14.13 of the Base Indenture.

 

(h) The failure to make
a payment pursuant to the Notes by reason of any provision in this Section 2.06 shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence
of a default or any Event of Default.

 

(i) Nothing contained
in this Section 2.06 shall apply to the claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 6.07
of the Base Indenture.

 

(j) The
subordination provisions in this Section 2.06 or Article Fourteen of the Base Indenture do not apply to
amounts due to the Trustee in its capacity as such pursuant to other sections of the Indenture, including Section 6.07 of
the Base Indenture. Similarly, the Trustee shall be entitled to exercise its charging lien granted pursuant to Section 6.07
of the Base Indenture on any funds received before applicable of the subordination provisions of this Section 2.06.

 

Section 2.07.
Events of Default; Acceleration. All of the Events of Default set forth in Section 5.01 of the Base Indenture will
apply with respect to the Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, because the Company will treat the Notes as Tier 2 capital (or its then
equivalent if the Company were subject to such capital requirement) for purposes of capital adequacy guidelines of the Federal Reserve
Board as then in effect and applicable to the Company, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default other than an Event of Default set forth
in Section 5.01(1) or Section 5.01(2) of the Base Indenture, neither the Trustee nor the holders of
the Notes may accelerate the maturity of the Notes and make the principal of, and any accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes, immediately
due and payable. Solely with respect to the Notes, and not for the purposes of any other Securities, Section 5.01(1) and
Section 5.01(2) of the Base Indenture shall be replaced in their entirety with the following:

 

“(1)     a
court having jurisdiction in the premises shall enter a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case under
any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee,
custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Company or for any substantial part of the property of the Company, or ordering
the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs and such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive
days;

 

(2)            the
Company shall commence a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or
shall consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, or shall consent to the appointment of or
taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Company or for any
substantial part of the property of the Company, or shall make any general assignment for the benefit of creditors;”

 

    17

     

    

 

Section 2.08.
No Sinking Fund. The Notes are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.

 

Section 2.09.
No Conversion or Exchange Rights. The Notes shall not be convertible into or exchangeable for any equity securities, other
securities or other assets of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company.

 

Section 2.10.
Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance. Article Thirteen of the Base Indenture shall apply to the Notes.

 

ARTICLE 3

 

REDEMPTION OF THE NOTES

 

Section 3.01.
Optional Redemption. The Notes shall not be redeemable prior to February 1, 2027, except as provided in Section 3.02.
The Company may redeem the Notes, at its sole option, beginning with the Interest Payment Date of February 1, 2027 and on any Interest
Payment Date thereafter, in whole or in part, from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes
to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, and any such redemption may be subject to the
satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent set forth in the applicable notice of redemption (an “Optional Redemption”).
No such Optional Redemption of the Notes by the Company prior to the Maturity Date shall be made without the prior approval of the Federal
Reserve Board, to the extent that such approval is then required under the rules of the Federal Reserve Board. The Notes are not
subject to repayment at the option of the holders of Notes.

 

Section 3.02.
Redemption of Special Events. Other than in the case of an Optional Redemption, the Notes may not be redeemed by the
Company prior to the Maturity Date, except the Company may, at its sole option, redeem the Notes at any time before the Maturity
Date in whole, but not in part, upon or after the occurrence of a Tax Event, a Tier 2 Capital Event or if the Company is required to
register as an investment company pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.), as amended. Any such
redemption of the Notes will be at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus
accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, and any such redemption may be subject to the satisfaction of
one or more conditions precedent set forth in the applicable notice of redemption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of
interest on any Notes that are due and payable on Interest Payment Dates falling on or prior to the applicable Redemption Date will
be payable on such Interest Payment Dates to the holders of the Notes at the close of business on the relevant record dates
specified in Sections 2.05(a) and (b) above in accordance with the Notes and this Indenture. No such
redemption of the Notes by the Company prior to the Maturity Date shall be made without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve
Board, to the extent that such approval is then required under the rules of the Federal Reserve Board.

 

    18

     

    

 

Section 3.03.
Notice to Trustee. If the Company elects to redeem the Notes pursuant to the redemption provisions of Section 3.01
or Section 3.02, at least 15 days prior to the Redemption Date (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to in writing by the
Trustee) but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate
setting forth (i) the applicable section of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the Redemption
Date, (iii) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed, (iv) the redemption price and (v) a Board Resolution.

 

Section 3.04.
Partial Redemption. In the case of a redemption pursuant to Section 3.01, if less than all of the Notes are to
be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed will be selected in accordance with the rules of the Depositary (or, in the case of any certificated
Notes, by lot, on a pro rata basis or in such other manner the Trustee deems fair and appropriate unless otherwise required by law). The
Trustee shall promptly notify in writing the Company of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Notes selected for partial
redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in minimum amounts of $1,000 or
integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; no Notes of a principal amount of $1,000 or less shall be redeemed in part, except that
if all of the Notes of a holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such holder, even if not equal to $1,000
or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, shall be redeemed. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this
Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.

 

Section 3.05.
Notice to Holders. In the case of any redemption, at least 15 days but no more than 60 days before the Redemption Date, the
Company shall send in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary, or if the Notes are not then global Securities the
Company shall mail, or cause to be mailed, a notice of redemption by first-class mail to each holder of Notes to be redeemed at such holder’s
registered address appearing on the register (with a copy to the Trustee). The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed (including
the CUSIP and/or ISIN numbers thereof, if any) and shall state:

 

(a) the Redemption Date;

 

(b) the principal amount
of the Notes that are being redeemed;

 

(c) each Place of Payment;

 

(d) the redemption price
and accrued interest to the Redemption Date that is payable pursuant to Section 11.04 of the Base Indenture;

 

(e) if fewer than all
outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the portion of the principal amount of such Notes to be redeemed and that, after the Redemption
Date and upon surrender of such Notes, if applicable, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be
issued;

 

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

 

(g) that Notes called
for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;

 

    19

     

    

 

(h) that unless the Company
defaults in making the redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date;

 

(i) if such notice is
conditioned upon the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such conditions precedent;

 

(j) the applicable section
of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and

 

(k) that no representation
is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP and/or ISIN numbers, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes.

 

The
Company may state in the notice of redemption that another Person may make payment of the redemption price and perform its obligations
with respect to redemption or purchase.

 

At
the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense; provided,
that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least five Business Days prior to the requested date of delivery (or such shorter
period as is satisfactory to the Trustee), a Company Request requesting that the Trustee give such notice and attaching a copy of such
notice, which shall set forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in this Article 3. If any condition
precedent to a redemption has not been satisfied, the Company will provide written notice to the Trustee not less than two Business Days
prior to the Redemption Date that such condition precedent has not been satisfied, that the notice of redemption is rescinded or delayed
and that the redemption subject to the satisfaction of such condition precedent shall not occur or shall be delayed (or that such condition
precedent is waived and such redemption shall occur or shall be delayed). The Trustee shall promptly send a copy of such notice to the
holders of the Notes.

U.S. DOLLARS (or such other amount as set forth in the Schedule of Increases or Decreases in the Note attached hereto) on February 1,
2032 (such date, the “Maturity Date”), unless redeemed prior to such Maturity Date, and to pay interest thereon as
set forth below:

 

    A-1

     

    

 

From and including January 24,
2022, to, but excluding, February 1, 2027 (unless redeemed prior to such date pursuant to Section 3.02 of the First Supplemental
Indenture (as defined herein)) (the “Fixed Rate Period”), this note (this “Note”) will bear interest
at a rate of 3.50% per year. During the Fixed Rate Period, interest on the Note will accrue from and including January 24, 2022,

that the Company pays on the Maturity Date will be paid to the Person to whom the principal will be payable.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if the Benchmark is less than zero, then the Benchmark shall be deemed to be zero.

on the Note will be payable by wire transfer in immediately available funds in U.S. Dollars at an office or agency of the Company maintained

the Company, the Trustee and the Persons in whose names Notes are registered on the Security Register from time to time and of the terms
upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee manually signs the
certificate of authentication on this Note. The terms, conditions and provisions of the Notes are those stated in the Indenture, those
made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act, and those set forth in this Note. To the extent that the terms, conditions
and provisions of this Note modify, supplement or are inconsistent with those of the Indenture, then the terms, conditions and other provisions
of the Indenture shall govern to the extent such terms, conditions and other provisions of this Note are not inconsistent with the terms,
conditions and provisions made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act.

 

All capitalized terms
used in this Note and not defined herein that are defined in the Base Indenture or the First Supplemental Indenture shall have the meanings
assigned to them in the Base Indenture or the First Supplemental Indenture. If any capitalized term used in this Note and defined herein
is also defined in the Base Indenture or the First Supplemental Indenture, in the event of any conflict in the meanings ascribed to such
capitalized term, the definition of the capitalized term in this Note shall control. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts
with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

 

The indebtedness of the
Company evidenced by the Notes, including the principal thereof and interest thereon, is, to the extent and in the manner set forth in
the First Supplemental Indenture, subordinate and junior in right of payment to obligations of the Company constituting the Senior Indebtedness
(as defined in the First Supplemental Indenture) on the terms and subject to the terms and conditions as provided and set forth in Section 2.06
of the First Supplemental Indenture and shall rank pari passu in right of payment with all other Notes and with all other unsecured
subordinated indebtedness of the Company issued under the Indenture and not by its terms subordinate and junior in right of payment to
the promissory notes, bonds, debentures or other evidences of indebtedness of a type that includes the Notes. Each holder by his acceptance
of this Note, agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions of the Indenture and authorizes and expressly directs the Trustee on such
holder’s behalf to take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in the Indenture.

 

During the Fixed Rate
Period, interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. During the Floating Rate Period,
interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. Dollar amounts resulting from those calculations
will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded upward.

 

If any Fixed Period Interest
Payment Date for the Note or the date for the payment of principal for the Note occurring during the Fixed Rate Period falls on a day
that is not a Business Day, the Company will postpone the interest or principal payment to the next succeeding Business Day, but the payments
made on such dates will be treated as being made on the date that the payment was first due and the holder of the Note will not be entitled
to any further interest, principal or other payments with respect to such postponements. If any Floating Period Interest Payment Date
or the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the Company will postpone the interest payment or the payment of principal
and interest at the Maturity Date to the next succeeding Business Day (and, with respect to the Maturity Date, no additional interest
will accrue on the amount payable for the period from and after the Maturity Date), unless, with respect to a Floating Period Interest
Payment Date only, such day falls in the next calendar month, in which case the Floating Period Interest Payment Date will instead be
the immediately preceding day that is a Business Day, and interest will accrue to, but excluding, such Floating Period Interest Payment
Date as so adjusted.

The Notes are intended
to be treated as Tier 2 capital (or its then equivalent if the Company were subject to such capital requirement) for purposes of capital
adequacy guidelines of the Federal Reserve Board as then in effect and applicable to the Company. If an Event of Default with respect
to Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal and any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes shall only become due and payable
in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Article Five of the Base Indenture and Section 2.07 of
the First Supplemental Indenture. Accordingly, the holder of this Note has no right to accelerate the maturity of this Note in the
event the Company fails to pay the principal of or interest on any of the Notes or fails to perform any other obligations under the Notes
or in the Indenture that are applicable to the Notes.

 

The Notes may be redeemed
by the Company as set forth in the Indenture.

 

The Notes are not entitled
to the benefit of any sinking fund. The Notes shall not be convertible into or exchangeable for any equity securities, other securities
or other assets of the Company or any Subsidiary.

 

Article Thirteen
of the Base Indenture shall be applicable to the Notes.

 

The Notes are issuable
and may be transferred only in fully registered form without coupons, in minimum denominations of $1,000 or any amount in excess thereof
that is an integral multiple of $1,000.

 

The Company and the Trustee
and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes,
whether or not this Note is overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

No reference herein to
the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute
and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest (if any) on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency,
herein prescribed.

 

[This Security is
a global note, represented by one or more permanent global certificates registered in the name of the nominee of The Depository Trust
Company (each a “Global Note” and collectively, the “Global Notes”). Accordingly, unless and until
it is exchanged in whole or in part for individual certificates evidencing the Notes represented hereby, this Security may not be transferred
except as a whole by DTC to a nominee of DTC or by a nominee of DTC or by DTC or any nominee to a successor Depositary or any nominee
of such successor. Ownership of beneficial interests in this Security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected
only through, records maintained by the applicable Depositary or its nominee (with respect to interest of Persons that have accounts with
the Depositary (“Participants”) and the records of Participants (with respect to interests of Persons other than Participants)).
Beneficial interests in Notes owned by Persons that hold through Participants will be evidenced only by, and transfers of such beneficial
interests with such Participants will be effected only through, records maintained by such Participants. Except as provided below, owners
of beneficial interests in this Security will not be entitled to have any individual certificates and will not be considered the owners
or holders thereof under the Indenture.

 

    A-5

     

    

 

Except in the limited
circumstances set forth in Section 3.05 of the Base Indenture, Participants and owners of beneficial interests in the Global
Notes will not be entitled to receive Securities in definitive form and will not be considered holders of Notes. None of the Company,
the Trustee or the Paying Agent will be liable for any delay by the Depositary, its nominee or any direct or indirect Participant in identifying
the beneficial owners of the related Notes. The Company and the Paying Agent may conclusively rely on, and will be protected in relying
on, instructions from the Depositary or its nominee for all purposes, including with respect to the registration and delivery, and the
respective principal amounts, of the Notes to be issued.

 

Except as provided
in Section 3.05 of the Base Indenture, beneficial owners of Global Notes will not be entitled to receive physical delivery
of Notes in definitive form and no Global Note will be exchangeable except for another Global Note of like denomination and tenor to be
registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee. Accordingly, each Person owning a beneficial interest in a Global Note must rely
on the procedures of the Depositary and, if such Person is not a Participant, on the procedures of the Participant through which such
Person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder under the Notes.

 

The laws of some jurisdictions
may require that purchasers of securities take physical delivery of those securities in definitive form. Accordingly, the ability to transfer
interests in the Notes represented by a Global Note to those Persons may be limited. In addition, because the Depositary can act only
on behalf of its Participants, who in turn act on behalf of Persons who hold interests through Participants, the ability of a Person having
an interest in Notes represented by a Global Note to pledge or transfer such interest to Persons that do not participate in the Depositary’s
system, or otherwise to take actions in respect of such interest, may be affected by the lack of a physical definitive security in respect
of such interest. None of the Company, the Trustee, the 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 Notes by the Depositary, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing
any records of the Depositary relating to the Notes.]1

 

U.S. Bank National
Association, will act as the Company’s Paying Agent with respect to the Notes through its offices presently located at U.S.
Bank National Association, 633 West Fifth Street, 24th Floor, Los Angeles, CA 90071, Attention: B. Scarbrough (First Foundation Base
Indenture). The Company may at any time rescind the designation of a Paying Agent, appoint a successor Paying Agent, or approve a
change in the office through which any Paying Agent acts.

 

Customary abbreviations
may be used in the name of a holder of a Note or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties),
JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to
Minors Act).

 

Pursuant to a recommendation
promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused the CUSIP number for the Series of
Securities of which the Notes are a part to be printed on the Notes as a convenience to the holders of the Notes. No representation is
made as to the accuracy of such numbers as printed on the Notes and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed
hereon.

 

THIS NOTE SHALL BE
DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND FOR ALL PURPOSES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
