 1 

 (e) the words “hereby”, “herein”, “hereof and
“hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Indenture as a whole and not to any particular Article, Section or other subdivision; 
 (f) a reference to the singular includes the plural and vice versa; and

 “Administrative Trustee” means, with respect to the Trust, a Person identified as an “Administrative Trustee” in the Trust Agreement, solely in its capacity as Administrative
Trustee of the Trust under the Trust Agreement and not in its individual capacity, or its successor in interest in such capacity, or any successor Administrative Trustee appointed as therein provided. 

“Additional Interest” means the interest, if any, that shall accrue on any amounts payable on the Securities, the
payment of which has not been made on the applicable Interest Payment Date and which shall accrue at the rate per annum specified or determined as specified in such Security. 
 “Additional Tax Sums” has the meaning specified in Section 10.5. 
 “Additional Taxes” means taxes, duties or other governmental charges imposed on the Trust as a result of a Tax Event (which, for the sake of clarity, does not include amounts required to

“Affiliate” of any specified Person means any other Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under
direct or indirect common control with such specified Person. For the purposes of this definition, “control,” when used with respect to any specified Person, means the power to direct the management and policies of such Person, directly or
indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise; and the terms “controlling” and “controlled” have meanings correlative to the foregoing. 

“Applicable Depository Procedures” means, with respect to any transfer or transaction involving a Global Security or
beneficial interest therein, the rules and procedures of the Depositary for such Security, in each case to the extent applicable to such transaction and as in effect from time to time.

then equivalent) for purposes of the capital adequacy guidelines of the Federal Reserve or other “appropriate Federal banking agency” as such term is defined in 12 U.S.C. 1813(q), which amendment, change or prospective change becomes
effective or would become effective, as the case may be, on or after the date of issuance of the Securities; provided, however, that the inability of the Company to treat all or any portion of the principal amount of the Securities as Tier 1
Capital shall not constitute the basis for a Capital Disqualification Event if such inability results from the Company having such Securities outstanding in an amount that for any reason is in excess of the amount which may now or hereafter qualify
for treatment as Tier 1 Capital under applicable capital adequacy guidelines.

Officers’ Certificate, Opinion of Counsel or other document or instrument, a clerical, typographical or other inadvertent or unintentional error or omission shall be discovered therein, a new document or instrument may be substituted therefor

been executed and/or delivered as of the date or dates required with respect to the document or instrument for which it is substituted. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Securities issued under the authority of such defective
document or instrument shall nevertheless be the valid obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits of this Indenture equally and ratably with all other Outstanding Securities. 

SECTION 1.4. Acts of Holders. 
 (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given to or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more
instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent thereof duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments
(including any appointment of an agent) is or are delivered to 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 

  
 11 

 
appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this
Section 1.4.

by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by the certificate of any 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 or
her the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a Person acting in other than his or her individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his or her authority. The fact and date of the execution by
any Person of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner that the Trustee deems sufficient and in accordance with such reasonable rules as the Trustee may determine.

 (c) The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Securities Register. 

(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Security shall bind every
future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in
reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security. 
 (e) Without limiting the foregoing, a
Holder entitled 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. 
 (f) Except as set forth in paragraph (g) of this
Section 1.4, the Company may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities 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. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities 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 (as defined below)
by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities 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 canceled and of no effect). 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 in the manner set forth in Section 1.6. 

(g) The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities entitled to join in
the giving or making of (i) any Notice of Default, (ii) any declaration of acceleration or rescission or annulment thereof referred to in Section 5.2, (iii) any request to institute proceedings referred to in
Section 5.7(b) or (iv) any 

  
 12 

 
direction referred to in Section 5.12. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities 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 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 canceled and of no effect). 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 in the manner set forth in
Section 1.6. 
 (h) With respect to any record date set pursuant to paragraph (f) or
(g) of this Section 1.4, the party hereto that sets such record date 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 in the manner set forth in Section 1.6. 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 1.4, the party hereto that set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the ninetieth
(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 one hundred and eightieth (180th) day after the applicable record date. 

SECTION 1.5. Notices, Etc. to Trustee and Company. 
 Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver, Act of Holders, or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with:

 (a) the Trustee by any Holder, any holder of Preferred Securities or the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose
hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or 
 (b) the
Company by the Trustee, any Holder or any holder of Preferred Securities shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed, first class, postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at One Center Court, Franklin, North

 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 to the address of such Holder as it

  
 13 

 
appears in the Securities Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. If, by reason of the suspension of or
irregularities in regular mail service or for any other reason, it shall be impossible or impracticable to mail notice of any event to Holders when said notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of
giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient 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.

The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction of this
Indenture.

Company shall not assign its obligations hereunder. 
 SECTION 1.9. Separability Clause. 

If any provision in this Indenture or in the 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, and there shall be deemed substituted for the provision at issue a valid, legal and enforceable provision as similar as possible to the provision at
issue.

 Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors and assigns, the holders of Senior Debt, the Holders of the
Securities and, to the extent expressly provided in Sections 5.2, 5.8, 5.9, 5.11, 5.13, 9.2 and 10.7. the holders of Preferred Securities, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim
under this Indenture. 
 SECTION 1.11. Governing Law. 

This Indenture and the rights and obligations of each of the Holders, the Company and the Trustee shall be construed and enforced in

 Security Forms 
 SECTION 2.1. Form of Security.

MACON BANCORP 

Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Note due 2034 
  

			
	 No.
                    
	  	$                    

 Macon Bancorp, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of North Carolina (hereinafter called
the “Company,” which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to
                     , or registered assigns, the principal sum of $
                 Dollars [if the Security is a Global Security, then insert— or such other principal amount represented hereby as may be
set forth in the records of the Securities Registrar hereinafter referred to in accordance with the Indenture] on March 30, 2034. The Company further promises to pay interest on said principal sum from December 30,2003, or from the most
recent Interest Payment Date to which 

  
 15 

 
interest has been paid or duly provided for, quarterly (subject to deferral as set forth herein) in arrears on March 30th, June 30th, September 30th and December 30th of each year, commencing on March 30, 2004, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding
Business Day (and no interest shall accrue in respect of the amounts whose payment is so delayed for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date until such next succeeding Business Day), except that, if such Business Day falls in the next
succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case, with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, at a variable rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to LIBOR plus
2.80%, together with Additional Tax Sums, if any, as provided in Section 10.5 of the Indenture, until the principal hereof is paid or duly provided for or made available for payment; provided, that any overdue principal, premium
or Additional Tax Sums and any overdue installment of interest shall bear Additional Interest (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable) at a variable rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to LIBOR plus 2.80%,
compounded quarterly, from the dates such amounts are due until they are paid or made available for payment, and such interest shall be payable on demand. 
 The amount of interest payable shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in the relevant interest period. The amount of
interest payable for any full interest period shall be computed by dividing the applicable rate per annum by four. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall, as provided in the Indenture,
be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest installment. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for
shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date
for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities not less than ten (10) days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not
inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. 

So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall have the right, at any time and from time to time during
the term of this Security, to defer the payment of interest on this Security for a period of up to twenty (20) consecutive quarterly interest payment periods (each such period, an “Extension Period”), during which
Extension Period(s), no interest shall be due and payable (except any Additional Tax Sums that may be due and payable). No Extension Period shall end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date, and no Extension Period shall extend beyond the
Stated Maturity of the principal of this Security. No interest shall be due and payable during an Extension Period (except any Additional Tax Sums that may be due and payable), except at the end thereof, but each installment of interest that would
otherwise have been due and payable during such Extension Period shall bear Additional Interest (to the extent payment of such interest would be legally enforceable) at a variable rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to LIBOR plus 2.80%,
compounded quarterly, from the dates on which amounts would have otherwise been due and payable until paid or made available for payment. At the end of any such Extension Period, the Company shall pay all interest then accrued and unpaid on this
Security, together with such Additional Interest. Prior to the 

  
 16 

 
termination of any such Extension Period, the Company may further defer the payment of interest; provided, that (i) all such previous and further extensions comprising such Extension
Period do not exceed twenty (20) quarterly interest payment periods, (ii) no Extension Period shall end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date and (iii) no Extension Period shall extend beyond the Stated Maturity of the
principal of this Security. Upon the termination of any such Extension Period and upon the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest and any Additional Interest then due on any Interest Payment Date, the Company may elect to begin a new Extension
Period; provided, that (i) such Extension Period does not exceed twenty (20) quarterly interest payment periods, (ii) no Extension Period shall end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date and (iii) no Extension
Period shall extend beyond the Stated Maturity of the principal of this Security. The Company shall give the Holder of this Security and the Trustee written notice of its election to begin any such Extension Period at least one Business Day prior to
the next succeeding Interest Payment Date on which interest on this Security would be payable but for such deferral or, so long as this Security is held by the Trust, at least one Business Day prior to the earlier of (i) the next succeeding
date on which Distributions on the Preferred Securities of Macon Capital Trust I would be payable but for such deferral and (ii) the date on which the Property Trustee of such Trust is required to give notice to any securities exchange or other
applicable self-regulatory organization or to holders of such Preferred Securities of the record date for the payment of such Distributions. 
 During any such Extension Period, the Company shall not, and shall not allow any Affiliate of the Company to, (i) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or
make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of the Company’s capital stock or any Affiliate’s capital stock (other than payments of dividends or distributions to the Company), (ii) make any payment of principal of or any interest
or premium on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company that rank pari passu in all respects with or junior in interest to this Security (other than (a) repurchases, redemptions or
other acquisitions of shares of capital stock of the Company in connection with (1) any employment contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of any one or more employees, officers, directors or consultants,
(2) a dividend reinvestment or stockholder stock purchase plan or (3) the issuance of capital stock of the Company (or securities convertible into or exercisable for such capital stock) as consideration in an acquisition transaction
entered into prior to the applicable Extension Period, (b) as a result of an exchange or conversion of any class or series of the Company’s capital stock (or any capital stock of a Subsidiary of the Company) for any class or series of the
Company’s capital stock or of any class or series of the Company’s indebtedness for any class or series of the Company’s capital stock, (c) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of the Company’s capital stock
pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such capital stock or the security being converted or exchanged, (d) any declaration of a dividend in connection with any Rights Plan, the issuance of rights, stock or other property under
any Rights Plan, or the redemption or repurchase of rights pursuant thereto or (e) any dividend in the form of stock, warrants, options or other rights where the dividend stock or the stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants, options or
other rights is the same stock as that on which the dividend is being paid or ranks pari passu with or junior to such stock). 
 Payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Security shall be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender

  
 17 

 
for payment of public and private debts. Payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest due at the Maturity of this Security shall be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained
for that purpose in the Place of Payment upon surrender of such Securities to the Paying Agent, and payments of interest shall be made, subject to such surrender where applicable, by wire transfer at such place and to such account at a banking
institution in the United States as may be designated in writing to the Paying Agent at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date for payment by the Person entitled thereto unless proper written transfer instructions have not been received
by the relevant record date, in which case such payments shall be made by check mailed to the address of such Person as such address shall appear in the Security Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the holder of this Security is the
Property Trustee, the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest (including any overdue installment of interest and Additional Tax Sums, if any) on this Security will be made at such place and to such account as may be designated
by the Property Trustee. 
 The indebtedness evidenced by this Security is, to the extent provided in the Indenture, subordinate
and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt, and this Security is issued subject to the provisions of the Indenture with respect thereto. Each Holder of this Security, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and
shall be bound by such provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee on his or her behalf to take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination so provided and (c) appoints the Trustee his or her attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. Each Holder hereof, by his or her acceptance hereof, waives all notice of the acceptance of the subordination provisions
contained herein and in the Indenture by each holder of Senior Debt, whether now outstanding or hereafter incurred, and waives reliance by each such holder upon said provisions. 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled
to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. 
 This Security is one of a duly authorized issue
of securities of the Company (the “Securities”) issued under the Junior Subordinated Indenture, dated as of December 30, 2003 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company
Americas, as Trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the
respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee, the holders of Senior Debt and the Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and
delivered. 
 All terms used in this Security that are defined in the Indenture or in the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement,
dated as of December 30, 2003 (as modified, amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Trust Agreement”), relating to Macon Capital Trust I (the “Trust”), among the Company, as Depositor, the
Trustees named therein and the Holders from time to time of the Trust Securities issued pursuant thereto, shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture or the Trust Agreement, as the case may be. 

The Company may, on any Interest Payment Date, at its option, upon not less than thirty (30) days’ nor more than sixty
(60) days’ written notice to the Holders of the Securities (unless a 

  
 18 

 
shorter notice period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) on or after March 30, 2009 and subject to the terms and conditions of Article XI of the Indenture, redeem this Security in
whole at any time or in part from time to time at a Redemption Price equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount hereof, together, in the case of any such redemption, with accrued interest, including any Additional Interest, to
but excluding the date fixed for redemption; provided, that the Company shall have received the prior approval of the Federal Reserve if then required. 
 In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Special Event, the Company may, at its option, upon not less than thirty (30) days’ nor more than sixty (60) days’
written notice to the Holders of the Securities (unless a shorter notice period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), redeem this Security, in whole but not in part, subject to the terms and conditions of Article XI of the Indenture at a
Redemption Price equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount hereof, together, in the case of any such redemption, with accrued interest, including any Additional Interest, to but excluding the date fixed for redemption;
provided, that the Company shall have received the prior approval of the Federal Reserve if then required. 
 In the
event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. If less than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the
particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than sixty (60) days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee from the Outstanding Securities not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair
and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of a portion of the principal amount of any Security. 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the Trustee at any time to enter into a supplemental
indenture or indentures for the purpose of modifying in any manner the rights and obligations of the Company and of the Holders of the Securities, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the
Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any
Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. 

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 any premium and interest, including any Additional Interest, on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the
Securities Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company and the Securities Registrar and duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s 

  
 19 

 
attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities, of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees. 
 The Securities are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum
denominations of $100,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities and
of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 
 No service charge
shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 

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

The Company and, by its acceptance of this Security or a beneficial interest therein, the Holder of, and any Person that acquires a
beneficial interest in, this Security agree that, for United States federal, state and local tax purposes, it is intended that this Security constitute indebtedness. 
 This Security shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of laws provisions (other than Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law). 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has
caused this instrument to be duly executed.

ARTICLE III 
 The
Securities 
 SECTION 3.1. Payment of Principal and Interest. 

(a) The unpaid principal amount of the Securities shall bear interest at a variable rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to LIBOR plus
2.80% until paid or duly provided for, such interest to accrue from the Original Issue Date or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, and any overdue principal, premium or Additional Tax Sums
and any overdue installment of interest shall bear Additional Interest (to the extent payment of such interest would be legally enforceable) at a variable rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to LIBOR plus 2.80% from the dates such amounts are due
until they are paid or funds for the payment thereof are made available for payment. 
 (b) Interest and Additional Interest on
any Security that 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, except that interest and any Additional Interest payable on the Stated Maturity (or any date of principal repayment upon early maturity) of the principal of a Security or on a Redemption Date shall be paid to
the Person to whom principal is paid. The initial payment of interest on any Security that is issued between a Regular Record Date and the related Interest Payment Date shall be payable as provided in such Security. 

(c) Any interest on any Security that is due and payable, but is not timely paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for
Securities (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered 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 paragraph (i) or (ii) below: 
 (i) The
Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted
Interest (a “Special Record Date”), which shall be fixed in the following manner. At least thirty (30) days prior to the date of the proposed payment, the Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of
Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the 

  
 24 

 
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. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the
payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be not more than fifteen (15) days and not less than ten (10) days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than ten (10) days after the receipt by the Trustee of the
notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special
Record Date therefor to be mailed, first class, postage prepaid, to each Holder of a Security at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Securities Register not less than ten (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 (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered on
such Special Record Date; or 
 (ii) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful
manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities may be listed and, upon such notice as may be required by such exchange (or by the Trustee if the Securities are not listed), if, after notice given by
the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 
 (d) Payments of interest on the Securities shall include interest accrued to but excluding the respective Interest Payment Dates. Interest payments for the Securities shall be computed and paid on the
basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in the relevant interest period. 
 (e) Payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities shall be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of
public and private debts. Payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest due at the Maturity of such Securities shall be made at the Place of Payment upon surrender of such Securities to the Paying Agent and payments of interest shall be made
subject to such surrender where applicable, by wire transfer at such place and to such account at a banking institution in the United States as may be designated in writing to the Paying Agent at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date
for payment by the Person entitled thereto unless proper written transfer instructions have not been received by the relevant record date, in which case such payments shall be made by check mailed to the address of such Person as such address shall
appear in the Security Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the holder of the Security is the Property Trustee, the payment of the principal of (and premium if any) and interest (including any overdue installment of interest and
Additional Tax Sums, if any) on the Security will be made at such place and to such account as may be designated by the Property Trustee. 

  
 25 

 (f) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.1, each Security
delivered under this Indenture upon 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, that were carried by such other Security. 

SECTION 3.2. Denominations. 
 The Securities shall be in registered form without coupons and shall be issuable in minimum denominations of $100,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

SECTION 3.3. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. 

(a) At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities in an
aggregate principal amount (including all then Outstanding Securities) not in excess of $14,433,000 executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and
the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. In authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall
be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon: 
 (i) a copy of any Board Resolution
relating thereto; and 
 (ii) an Opinion of Counsel stating that such Securities, when authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, 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. 
 (b) The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its Vice Chairman of the Board, its President or one of its Vice Presidents. The signature of any of these
officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile. Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any
of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities. 
 (c) 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 the manual signature of one of its authorized officers, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated
and delivered hereunder. 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 3.8, 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. 

  
 26 

 (d) Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 

SECTION 3.4. Global Securities. 
 (a) Upon the election of the Holder after the Original Issue Date, which election need not be in writing, the Securities owned by such Holder shall be issued in the form of one or more Global Securities
registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee. Each Global Security issued under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary designated by the Company for such Global Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such
Depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture. 
 (b) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities registered, and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may
be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof unless (i) such Depositary advises the Trustee and the Company in writing that such Depositary is no longer willing or able to
properly discharge its responsibilities as Depositary with respect to such Global Security, and no qualified successor is appointed by the Company within ninety (90) days of receipt by the Company of such notice, (ii) such Depositary
ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and no successor is appointed by the Company within ninety (90) days after obtaining knowledge of such event, (iii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company
Order stating that the Company elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depositary or (iv) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or
(iv) above, the Trustee shall notify the Depositary and instruct the Depositary to notify all owners of beneficial interests in such Global Security of the occurrence of such event and of the availability of Securities to such owners of
beneficial interests requesting the same. Upon the issuance of such Securities and the registration in the Securities Register of such Securities in the names of the Holders of the beneficial interests therein, the Trustees shall recognize such
holders of beneficial interests as Holders. 
 (c) If any Global Security is to be exchanged for other Securities or canceled in
part, or if another Security is to be exchanged in whole or in part for a beneficial interest in any Global Security, then either (i) such Global Security shall be so surrendered for exchange or cancellation as provided in this Article
III or (ii) the principal amount thereof shall be reduced or increased by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged or canceled, or equal to the principal amount of such other Security to be so exchanged for a beneficial
interest therein, as the case may be, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Securities Registrar, whereupon the Trustee, in accordance with the Applicable Depository Procedures, shall instruct the Depositary or its
authorized representative to make a corresponding adjustment to its records. Upon any such surrender or adjustment of a Global Security by the Depositary, accompanied by registration instructions, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver any Securities issuable in exchange for such Global Security (or any portion thereof) in accordance with the instructions of the Depositary. The Trustee shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and
may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, such instructions. 

  
 27 

 (d) Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in
exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security, unless such Security is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such
Global Security or a nominee thereof. 
 (e) Securities distributed to holders of Book-Entry Preferred Securities (as defined in
the applicable Trust Agreement) upon the dissolution of the Trust shall be distributed in the form of one or more Global Securities registered in the name of a Depositary or its nominee, and deposited with the Securities Registrar, as custodian for
such Depositary, or with such Depositary, for credit by the Depositary to the respective accounts of the beneficial owners of the Securities represented thereby (or such other accounts as they may direct). Securities distributed to holders of
Preferred Securities other than Book-Entry Preferred Securities upon the dissolution of the Trust shall not be issued in the form of a Global Security or any other form intended to facilitate book-entry trading in beneficial interests in such
Securities. 
 (f) The Depositary or its nominee, as the registered owner of a Global Security, shall be the Holder of such
Global Security for all purposes under this Indenture and the Securities, and owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security shall hold such interests pursuant to the Applicable Depository Procedures. Accordingly, any such owner’s
beneficial interest in a Global Security shall be shown only on, and the transfer of such interest shall be effected only through, records maintained by the Depositary or its nominee or its Depositary Participants. The Securities Registrar and the
Trustee shall be entitled to deal with the Depositary for all purposes of this Indenture relating to a Global Security (including the payment of principal and interest thereon and the giving of instructions or directions by owners of beneficial
interests therein and the giving of notices) as the sole Holder of the Security and shall have no obligations to the owners of beneficial interests therein. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Registrar shall have any liability in respect of any
transfers effected by the Depositary. 
 (g) The rights of owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security shall be
exercised only through the Depositary and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such owners and the Depositary and/or its Depositary Participants. 

(h) No holder of any beneficial interest in any Global Security held on its 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. None of the Company, the
Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security or maintaining, supervising or
reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification,
proxy or other authorization furnished by a Depositary or 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 (or its nominee) as
Holder of any Security. 

  
 28 

 SECTION 3.5. Registration, Transfer and Exchange Generally. 

(a) The Trustee shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the “Securities Register”) in which the
registrar and transfer agent with respect to the Securities (the “Securities Registrar”), subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers and exchanges of
Securities. The Trustee shall at all times also be the Securities Registrar. The provisions of Article VI shall apply to the Trustee in its role as Securities Registrar. 

(b) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security at the offices or agencies of the Company designated for that purpose 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 any authorized denominations of like tenor and aggregate principal amount. 

(c) At the option of the Holder, Securities may be exchanged for other Securities of any authorized denominations, 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
that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
 (d) All Securities issued upon any 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 transfer or exchange. 

(e) Every Security presented or surrendered for transfer or 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 Securities Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. 

(f) No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any 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 transfer or exchange of Securities. 
 (g) Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be required pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.5 to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security during a period beginning
at the opening of business fifteen (15) days before the day of selection for redemption of Securities pursuant to Article XI and ending at the close of business on the day of mailing of the notice of redemption or (ii) to register
the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any such Security to be redeemed in part, any portion thereof not to be redeemed. 

(h) The Company shall designate an office or offices or agency or agencies where Securities may be surrendered for registration or
transfer or exchange. The Company initially designates the Corporate Trust Office as its office and agency for such purposes. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee and to the Holders of any change in the location of any such
office or agency. 

  
 29 

 SECTION 3.6. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. 

(a) If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee together with such security or indemnity as may be required by the Company or
the Trustee to save each of them harmless, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of like tenor and aggregate principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding. 
 (b) If there shall be delivered to the Company and to 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 harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a
bonafide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its written request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of like tenor and aggregate principal amount as such
destroyed, lost or stolen Security, and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
 (c) If 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. 
 (d) Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section 3.6, 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. 
 (e) Every new
Security issued pursuant to this Section 3.6 in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the mutilated, 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 duly issued hereunder. 

(f) The provisions of this Section 3.6 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 3.7. Persons Deemed
Owners. 
 The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall treat the Person in whose name any
Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and any interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or
the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 SECTION 3.8. Cancellation. 

All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be
delivered to the Trustee, and any such 

  
 30 

 
Securities and Securities surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such purpose shall be promptly canceled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any
Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder that the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in
exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section 3.8, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Securities shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its customary practices and the Trustee
shall deliver to the Company a certificate of such disposition. 
 SECTION 3.9. Deferrals of Interest Payment Dates.

 (a) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall have the right, at any time and from
time to time during the term of the Security, to defer the payment of interest on the Securities for a period of up to twenty (20) consecutive quarterly interest payment periods (each such period, an “Extension Period”),
during which Extension Period(s), the Company shall have the right to make no payments or partial payments of interest on any Interest Payment Date (except any Additional Tax Sums that otherwise may be due and payable). No Extension Period shall
end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date and no Extension Period shall extend beyond the Stated Maturity of the principal of the Securities. No interest shall be due and payable during an Extension Period, except at the end thereof, but
each installment of interest that would otherwise have been due and payable during such Extension Period shall bear Additional Interest (to the extent payment of such interest would be legally enforceable) at a variable rate per annum, reset
quarterly, equal to LIBOR plus 2.80%, compounded quarterly, from the dates on which amounts would have otherwise been due and payable until paid or until funds for the payment thereof have been made available for payment. At the end of any such
Extension Period, the Company shall pay all interest then accrued and unpaid on the Securities together with such Additional Interest. Prior to the termination of any such Extension Period, the Company may extend such Extension Period and further
defer the payment of interest; provided, that (i) all such previous and further extensions comprising such Extension Period do not exceed twenty (20) quarterly interest payment periods, (ii) no Extension Period shall end on a
date other than an Interest Payment Date and (iii) no Extension Period shall extend beyond the Stated Maturity of the principal of the Securities. Upon the termination of any such Extension Period and upon the payment of all accrued and unpaid
interest and any Additional Interest then due on any Interest Payment Date, the Company may elect to begin a new Extension Period; provided, that (i) such Extension Period does not exceed twenty (20) quarterly interest payment
periods, (ii) no Extension Period shall end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date and (iii) no Extension Period shall extend beyond the Stated Maturity of the principal of the Securities. The Company shall give the Holders of the
Securities and the Trustee written notice of its election to begin any such Extension Period at least one Business Day prior to the next succeeding Interest Payment Date on which interest on the Securities would be payable but for such deferral or,
so long as any Securities are held by the Trust, at least one Business Day prior to the earlier of (i) the next succeeding date on which Distributions on the Preferred Securities of such Trust would be payable but for such deferral and
(ii) the date on which the Property Trustee of such Trust is required to give notice to any securities exchange or other applicable self-regulatory organization or to holders of such Preferred Securities of the record date for the payment of
such Distributions. 

  
 31 

 (b) In connection with any such Extension Period, the Company shall be subject to the
restrictions set forth in Section 10.6(a). 
 SECTION 3.10. Right of Set-Off. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall have the right to set off any payment it is otherwise required to make
in respect of any Security to the extent the Company has theretofore made, or is concurrently on the date of such payment making, a payment under the Guarantee Agreement relating to such Security or to a holder of Preferred Securities pursuant to an
action undertaken under Section 5.8 of this Indenture. 
 SECTION 3.11. Agreed Tax Treatment. 

Each Security issued hereunder shall provide that the Company and, by its acceptance or acquisition of a Security or a beneficial
interest therein, the Holder of, and any Person that acquires a direct or indirect beneficial interest in, such Security, intend and agree to treat such Security as indebtedness of the Company for United States Federal, state and local tax purposes
and to treat the Preferred Securities (including but not limited to all payments and proceeds with respect to the Preferred Securities) as an undivided beneficial ownership interest in the Securities (and payments and proceeds therefrom,
respectively) for United States Federal, state and local tax purposes. The provisions of this Indenture shall be interpreted to further this intention and agreement of the parties. 

SECTION 3.12. CUSIP Numbers. 
 The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption and other similar
or related materials as a convenience to Holders; provided, that any such notice or other materials 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 redemption or other materials and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.

deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for such purpose (x) an amount in the currency or currencies in which the Securities are payable, (y) Government Obligations which through the scheduled payment
of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than the due date of any payment, money in an amount or (z) a combination thereof, in each case sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally
recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for

obligations of the Company to any Authenticating Agent under Section 6.11 and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (a)(ii) of this Section 4.1, the obligations of the Trustee under
Section 4.2 and Section 10.2(e) shall survive. 

  
 33 

 SECTION 4.2. Application of Trust Money. 

Subject to the provisions of Section 10.2(e), all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.1 shall
be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this Indenture, to the payment in accordance with Section 3.1, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting
as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal and any premium and interest (including any Additional Interest) for the payment of which such money or obligations have been deposited with or
received by the Trustee. Moneys held by the Trustee under this Section 4.2 shall not be subject to the claims of holders of Senior Debt under Article XII. 
 ARTICLE V

 “Event of Default” means, wherever used herein with respect to the Securities, any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be

outstanding Preferred Securities or (3) certain mergers, consolidations or amalgamations, each as and to the extent permitted by the Trust Agreement. 
 SECTION 5.2. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. 
 (a) If
an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than twenty five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities may declare the principal amount of all
the Securities to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), provided, that if, upon an Event of Default, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than twenty five percent
(25%) in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities fail to declare the principal of all the Outstanding Securities to be immediately due and payable, the holders of at least twenty five percent (25%) in aggregate Liquidation Amount
(as defined in the Trust Agreement) of the Preferred Securities then outstanding shall have the right to make such declaration by a notice in writing to the Property Trustee, the Company and the Trustee; and upon any such declaration the principal
amount of and the accrued interest (including any Additional Interest) on all the Securities shall become immediately due and payable.

hereinafter provided in this Article V, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, by written notice to the Indenture Trustee, or the Holders of a majority in aggregate liquidation amount of the
Preferred Securities, by written notice to the Property Trustee, the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

Trust Agreement) of the Preferred Securities then outstanding shall also have the right to rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences by written notice to the Property Trustee, the Company and the Trustee, subject to the satisfaction of
the conditions set forth in paragraph (b) of this Section 5.2. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 SECTION 5.3. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. 
 (a) The Company covenants that if: 
 (i) default is made in the
payment of any installment of interest (including any Additional Interest) on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of thirty (30) days, or 

(ii) default is made in the payment of the principal of and any premium on any Security at the Maturity thereof,

 the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, 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 (including any Additional Interest) and, in addition thereto, all amounts owing the Trustee under Section 6.6. 

(b) If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust,
may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect
the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities, wherever situated. 
 (c) If an Event of Default with respect to Securities occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the

  
 36 

 
Holders of Securities 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 5.4. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 
 In case of any
receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or similar judicial proceeding relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), its property or its creditors, the Trustee
shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized hereunder in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee
shall be authorized 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, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to first pay to the Trustee any amount due it
for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts owing the Trustee, any predecessor Trustee and other Persons under Section 6.6. 

SECTION 5.5. Trustee May Enforce Claim 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,
subject to Article XII and after provision for the payment of all the amounts owing the Trustee, any predecessor Trustee and other Persons under Section 6.6. be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect
of which such judgment has been recovered. 
 SECTION 5.6. Application of Money Collected. 

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

Article XII, to the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securities for principal and any premium and interest (including any Additional Interest) in 

  
 37 

 
respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities for
principal and any premium and interest (including any Additional Interest), respectively; and 
 FOURTH: The balance, if any, to
the Person or Persons entitled thereto. 
 SECTION 5.7. Limitation on Suits. 

Subject to Section 5.8, no Holder of any Securities shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise,
with respect to this Indenture or for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar official) or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: 

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

 (b) the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall have made
written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; 
 (c) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; 

(d) the Trustee after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding for sixty
(60) days; and 
 (e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such sixty (60)-day period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities; 

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 itself of,
any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of Securities, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture,
except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all such Holders. 
 SECTION 5.8. Unconditional
Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest; Direct Action by Holders of Preferred Securities. 

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 on such Security at its Maturity and payment of interest (including any Additional Interest) on such Security when due and payable and to institute suit for the enforcement of any
such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. Any registered holder of the Preferred Securities shall have the right, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 5. 1(a) or
Section 5.1(b), to institute a suit directly against the Company for enforcement of payment to such holder of principal of and any premium and interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities having a principal amount equal
to 

  
 38 

 
the aggregate Liquidation Amount (as defined in the Trust Agreement) of the Preferred Securities held by such holder. 
 SECTION 5.9. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 
 If the Trustee, any
Holder or any holder of Preferred Securities 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,
such Holder or such holder of Preferred Securities, then and in every such case the Company, the Trustee, such Holders and such holder of Preferred Securities shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and
respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee, such Holder and such holder of Preferred Securities shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 

SECTION 5.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 
 Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.6(f), no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or 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, any Holder of any Securities or any holder of any Preferred Security 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 V or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders and the right and remedy given to the holders of Preferred Securities by Section 5.8 may be exercised from time to
time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee, the Holders or the holders of Preferred Securities, as the case may be. 
 SECTION 5.12. Control by Holders. 
 The Holders of not less than a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities 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;
provided, that: 
 (a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, 

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

(c) subject to the provisions of Section 6.2, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow such direction if a
Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee shall, in good faith, 

  
 39 

 
reasonably determine that the proceeding so directed would be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders not joining in any such direction or would involve the Trustee in personal liability. 

SECTION 5.13. Waiver of Past Defaults. 
 (a) The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities and the holders of a majority in aggregate Liquidation Amount (as defined in the Trust Agreement) of
the Preferred Securities may waive any past Event of Default hereunder and its consequences except an Event of Default: 
 (i) in the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest (including any Additional Interest) on any Security (unless such Event of Default has been cured and the Company has paid to or deposited
with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all installments of interest (including any Additional Interest) due and past due and all principal of and any premium on all Securities due otherwise than by acceleration), or 

(ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that under Article IX cannot be modified or amended without the
consent of each Holder of any Outstanding Security. 
 (b) Any such waiver shall be deemed to be on behalf of the Holders of all
the Securities or, in the case of a waiver by holders of Preferred Securities issued by such Trust, by all holders of Preferred Securities. 
 (c) Upon any such waiver, such Event of 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 Event of 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 his or her 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 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 and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having
due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 5.14 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group
of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than ten percent (10%) in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or any premium on the
Security after the Stated Maturity or any interest (including any Additional Interest) on any Security after it is due and payable. 
 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, 

  
 40 

 
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. 
 ARTICLE VI 

The Trustee 

SECTION 6.1. Corporate Trustee Required. 
 There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities. The Trustee shall be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof,
authorized to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state authority and having an office within the United States. If such corporation
publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of such supervising or examining authority, then, for the purposes of this Section 6.1, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation 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 the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.1, it shall
resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article VI. 
 SECTION 6.2. Certain
Duties and Responsibilities. 
 (a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default: 

(i) 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; and 
 (ii) in the
absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements
of this Indenture; provided, that in the case of any such certificates or opinions that 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 substantially conform on their face to the requirements of this Indenture. 
 (b) If an Event of Default
known to the Trustee has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall, prior to the receipt of directions, if any, from the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, exercise such of the rights and
powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. 

  
 41 

 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, 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 it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such
funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 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 6.2. To the extent that, at law or in equity, the Trustee has duties and liabilities relating to the Holders, the Trustee shall not be liable to any Holder for the
Trustee’s good faith reliance on the provisions of this Indenture. The provisions of this Indenture, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of the Trustee otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Company
and the Holders to replace such other duties and liabilities of the Trustee. 
 (d) No provisions of this Indenture shall be
construed to relieve the Trustee from liability with respect to matters that are within the authority of the Trustee under this Indenture for its own negligent action, negligent failure to act or willful misconduct, except that: 

(i) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error or judgment made in good faith by an authorized officer of the Trustee,
unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; 
 (ii) the Trustee
shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities relating to the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee under this Indenture; and 

(iii) the Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise
agreed with the Company and money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

occurrence of any default actually known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall give the Holders notice of such default unless such default shall have been cured or waived; provided, that except in the case of a default in the payment of the
principal of or any premium or interest on any Securities, the Trustee shall by fully protected in withholding the notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers
of the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interest of holders of Securities; and provided, that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 5.1 (c), no such notice to
Holders shall be given until at least thirty (30) days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section 6.3, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become,

assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

successor of the Trustee hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided, that such Person shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article VI.
In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation or as otherwise provided above in this Section 6.9 to such authenticating
Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated, and in case any Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor
Trustee or in the name of such successor Trustee, and in all cases the certificate of authentication shall have the full force which it is provided anywhere in the Securities or in this Indenture that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.

 SECTION 6.10. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities. 

The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the

the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the Company of the Securities or the proceeds thereof. 
 SECTION 6.11. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. 
 (a) The Trustee may
appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to the Securities, which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial
redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 3.6, 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 

  
 47 

 
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, or of any State or Territory 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 6.11 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 6.11, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section 6.11. 

(b) Any Person into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent shall be the successor
Authenticating Agent hereunder, provided such Person shall be otherwise eligible under this Section 6.11, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent. 

(c) 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 6.11, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent eligible under the provisions of this Section 6.11, which shall
be acceptable to the Company, and shall give notice of such appointment to all Holders. 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. 
 (d) The Company agrees to pay to each
Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section 6.11 in such amounts as the Company and the Authenticating Agent shall agree from time to time. 

(e) If an appointment of an Authenticating Agent is made pursuant to this Section 6.11, the Securities may have endorsed
thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form:

(b) Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents, it will, prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on each due date of the
principal of or any premium or interest (including any Additional Interest) on any Securities, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held as provided in the Trust Indenture Act and (unless such Paying Agent
is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its failure so to act. 
 (c) The Company will cause each Paying
Agent for the Securities other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 10.2, that such Paying Agent will
(i) comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent and (ii) during the continuance of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities) in the making of any payment in respect
of the Securities, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in respect of the Securities. 
 (d) The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the
Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to
the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. 
 (e) Any money
deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company in trust for the payment of the principal of and any premium or interest (including any Additional Interest) on any Security and remaining unclaimed for two years after such
principal and any premium or interest has become due and payable shall (unless otherwise required by mandatory provision of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property law) be paid on Company Request to the Company, or (if then held by the
Company) shall (unless otherwise required by mandatory provision of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property law) 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 liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, that the Trustee or such
Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business

  
 54 

 
Day and of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than
thirty (30) days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. 
 SECTION 10.3. Statement as to Compliance. 
 The Company shall deliver to
the Trustee, within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof, an Officers’ Certificate covering the preceding fiscal year, stating whether or not to the knowledge of
the signers thereof the Company is in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder), and if the Company
shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge. 
 SECTION
10.4. Calculation Agent. 
 (a) The Company hereby agrees that for so long as any of the Securities remain Outstanding,
there will at all times be an agent appointed to calculate LIBOR in respect of each Interest Payment Date in accordance with the terms of Schedule A (the “Calculation Agent”). The Company has initially appointed the
Trustee as Calculation Agent for purposes of determining LIBOR for each Interest Payment Date. The Calculation Agent may be removed by the Company at any time. So long as the Property Trustee holds any of the Securities, the Calculation Agent shall
be the Property Trustee. If the Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to act as such or is removed by the Company, the Company will promptly appoint as a replacement Calculation Agent the London office of a leading bank which is engaged in
transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the international Eurodollar market and which does not control or is not controlled by or under common control with the Company or its Affiliates. The Calculation Agent may not resign its duties without a
successor having been duly appointed. 
 (b) The Calculation Agent shall be required to agree that, as soon as possible after
11:00 a.m. (London time) on each LIBOR Determination Date (as defined in Schedule A), but in no event later than 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the Business Day immediately following each LIBOR Determination Date, the Calculation Agent will
calculate the interest rate (rounded to the nearest cent, with half a cent being rounded upwards) for the related Interest Payment Date, and will communicate such rate and amount to the Company, the Trustee, each Paying Agent and the Depositary. The
Calculation Agent will also specify to the Company the quotations upon which the foregoing rates and amounts are based and, in any event, the Calculation Agent shall notify the Company before 5:00 p.m. (London time) on each LIBOR Determination Date
that either: (i) it has determined or is in the process of determining the foregoing rates and amounts or (ii) it has not determined and is not in the process of determining the foregoing rates and amounts, together with its reasons
therefor. The Calculation Agent’s determination of the foregoing rates and amounts for any Interest Payment Date will (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding upon all parties. For the sole purpose of calculating the interest
rate for the Securities, “Business Day” shall be defined as any day on which dealings in deposits in Dollars are transacted in the London interbank market. 

  
 55 

 SECTION 10.5. Additional Tax Sums. 

So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if (a) the Trust is the Holder of all of the Outstanding Securities
and (b) a Tax Event described in clause (i) or (iii) in the definition of Tax Event in Section 1.1 hereof has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall pay to the Trust (and its permitted successors or assigns under
the related Trust Agreement) for so long as the Trust (or its permitted successor or assignee) is the registered holder of the Outstanding Securities, such amounts as may be necessary in order that the amount of Distributions (including any
Additional Interest Amount (as defined in the Trust Agreement)) then due and payable by the Trust on the Preferred Securities and Common Securities that at any time remain outstanding in accordance with the terms thereof shall not be reduced as a
result of any Additional Taxes arising from such Tax Event (additional such amounts payable by the Company to the Trust, the “Additional Tax Sums”). Whenever in this Indenture or the Securities there is a reference in any
context to the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payments of the Additional Tax Sums provided for in this Section 10.5 to the extent that, in such context,
Additional Tax Sums are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10.5 and express mention of the payment of Additional Tax Sums (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be
construed as excluding Additional Tax Sums in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made; provided, that the deferral of the payment of interest pursuant to Section 3.9 on the Securities shall not defer the
payment of any Additional Tax Sums that may be due and payable. 
 SECTION 10.6. Additional Covenants. 

(a) The Company covenants and agrees with each Holder of Securities that if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or
the Company shall have given notice of its election to begin an Extension Period with respect to the Securities and shall not have rescinded such notice, or such Extension Period, or any extension thereof, shall be continuing, it shall not, and
shall not allow any Affiliate of the Company to, (i) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any shares of the Company’s capital stock or its
Affiliates’ capital stock (other than payments of dividends or distributions to the Company), or (ii) make any payment of principal of or any interest or premium on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities of the Company that
rank pari passu in all respects with or junior in interest to the Securities (other than (A) repurchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of shares of capital stock of the Company in connection with any employment contract, benefit
plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of any one or more employees, officers, directors or consultants, in connection with a dividend reinvestment or stockholder stock purchase plan or in connection with the issuance of capital
stock of the Company (or securities convertible into or exercisable for such capital stock) as consideration in an acquisition transaction entered into prior to the applicable Extension Period, (B) as a result of an exchange or conversion of
any class or series of the Company’s capital stock (or any capital stock of a Subsidiary of the Company) for any class or series of the Company’s capital stock or of any class or series of the Company’s indebtedness for any class or
series of the Company’s capital stock, (C) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of the Company’s capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such capital stock or the security being converted or
exchanged, (D) any declaration of a dividend in connection 

  
 56 

 
with any Rights Plan, the issuance of rights, stock or other property under any Rights Plan or the redemption or repurchase of rights pursuant thereto, or (E) any dividend in the form of
stock, warrants, options or other rights where the dividend stock or the stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants, options or other rights is the same stock as that on which the dividend is being paid or ranks pari passu with or junior
to such stock). 
 (b) The Company also covenants with each Holder of Securities (i) to hold, directly or indirectly, one
hundred percent (100%) of the Common Securities of the Trust, provided, that any permitted successor of the Company hereunder may succeed to the Company’s ownership of such Common Securities, (ii) as holder of such
Common Securities, not to voluntarily dissolve, wind-up or liquidate the Trust other than (A) in connection with a distribution of the Securities to the holders of the Preferred Securities in liquidation
of the Trust or (B) in connection with certain mergers, consolidations or amalgamations permitted by the Trust Agreement and (iii) to use its reasonable commercial efforts, consistent with the terms and provisions of the Trust Agreement,
to cause the Trust to continue to be taxable as a grantor trust and not as a corporation for United States Federal income tax purposes. 
 SECTION 10.7. Waiver of Covenants. 
 The Company may omit in any particular
instance to comply with any covenant or condition contained in Section 10.6 if, before or after the time for such compliance, the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall, by Act of
such Holders, and at least a majority of the aggregate Liquidation Amount (as defined in the Trust Agreement) of the Preferred Securities then outstanding, by consent of such holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive
compliance with such covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company in respect of
any such covenant or condition shall remain in full force and effect. 
 SECTION 10.8. Treatment of Securities.

 The Company will treat the Securities as indebtedness, and the amounts payable in respect of the principal amount of such
Securities as interest, for all U.S. federal income tax purposes. All payments in respect of the Securities will be made free and clear of U.S. withholding tax to any beneficial owner thereof that has provided an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any substitute or successor form) establishing its non-U.S. status for U.S. federal income tax purposes. 

ARTICLE XI 

Redemption of Securities 
 SECTION 11.1. Optional Redemption. 
 The Company may, at its option, on any
Interest Payment Date, on or after March 30, 2009, redeem the Securities in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a Redemption Price equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount thereof (or of the redeemed
portion thereof, as applicable), together, in the case of any such redemption, with accrued 

  
 57 

 
interest, including any Additional Interest, to but excluding the date fixed for redemption; provided, that the Company shall have received the prior approval of the Federal Reserve with
respect to such redemption if then required. 
 SECTION 11.2. Special Event Redemption. 

Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Special Event, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Securities, in whole but

redemption; provided, that the Company shall have received the prior approval of the Federal Reserve with respect to such redemption if then required. 
 SECTION 11.3. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. 
 The election of the
Company to redeem any Securities, in whole or in part, shall be evidenced by or pursuant to a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company, the Company shall, not less than forty five (45) days and not more than
seventy five (75) days prior to the Redemption Date (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee and the Property Trustee under the Trust Agreement in writing of such date and of the principal amount of the
Securities to be redeemed and provide the additional information required to be included in the notice or notices contemplated by Section 11.5. In the case of any redemption of Securities, in whole or in part, (a) prior to the
expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in this Indenture or the Securities or (b) pursuant to an election of the Company which is subject to a condition specified in this Indenture or the Securities, the Company shall furnish
the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel evidencing compliance with such restriction or condition. 
 SECTION 11.4. Selection of Securities to be Redeemed. 
 (a) If less
than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than sixty (60) days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee from the Outstanding Securities not previously called for
redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of a portion of the principal amount of any or each Security, 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. 
 (b) The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to
be redeemed. For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the
principal amount of such Security that has been or is to be redeemed. 
 (c) The provisions of paragraphs (a) and
(b) of this Section 11.4 shall not apply with respect to any redemption affecting only a single Security, whether such Security is to be 

  
 58 

 
redeemed in whole or in part. In the case of any such redemption in part, the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of the Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be
less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security. 
 SECTION 11.5. Notice of Redemption. 

(a) Notice of redemption shall be given not later than the thirtieth (30th) day, and not earlier than the sixtieth (60th) day,
prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, in whole or in part (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Property Trustee under the related Trust Agreement). 

(b) With respect to Securities to be redeemed, in whole or in part, each notice of redemption shall state: 

(i) the Redemption Date; 
 (ii) the Redemption Price or, if the Redemption Price cannot be calculated prior to the time the notice is required to be sent, the estimate of the Redemption Price, as calculated by the Company, together
with a statement that it is an estimate and that the actual Redemption Price will be calculated on the fifth Business Day prior to the Redemption Date (and if an estimate is provided, a further notice shall be sent of the actual Redemption Price on
the date that such Redemption Price is calculated); 
 (iii) if less than all Outstanding Securities are to be
redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the respective principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed; 
 (iv) that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security or portion thereof, and that any interest (including any Additional Interest) on such Security or
such portion, as the case may be, shall cease to accrue on and after said date; and 
 (v) the place or places
where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price. 
 (c) Notice of redemption of Securities to be
redeemed, in whole or in part, 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 and shall be irrevocable. The notice if mailed in the manner
provided above shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, a failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Security designated for
redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Security. 

SECTION 11.6. Deposit of Redemption Price. 
 Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Redemption Date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in Section 11.5, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with one

 59 

 
Company will segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.2) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and any accrued interest (including any Additional
Interest) on, all the Securities (or portions thereof) that are to be redeemed on that date. 
 SECTION 11.7. Payment of
Securities Called for Redemption. 
 (a) If any notice of redemption has been given as provided in Section 11.5,
the Securities or portion of Securities with respect to which such notice has been given shall become due and payable on the date and at the place or places stated in such notice at the applicable Redemption Price, together with accrued interest
(including any Additional Interest) to the Redemption Date. On presentation and surrender of such Securities at a Place of Payment specified in such notice, the Securities or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Company
at the applicable Redemption Price, together with accrued interest (including any Additional Interest) to the Redemption Date. 

(b) Upon presentation of any Security redeemed in part only, 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 authorized denominations, in aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security so presented and having the same Original Issue Date, Stated
Maturity and terms. 
 (c) If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the
principal of and any premium on such Security shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security. 
 ARTICLE XII 
 Subordination of Securities 

SECTION 12.1. Securities Subordinate to Senior Debt. 
 The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of a Security, by its acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Article
XII, the payment of the principal of and any premium and interest (including any Additional 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 Debt. 
 SECTION 12.2. No Payment When Senior Debt in Default; Payment Over of Proceeds Upon Dissolution, Etc.

 (a) In the event and during the continuation of any default by the Company in the payment of any principal of or any premium
or interest on any Senior Debt (following any grace period, if applicable) when the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or at a date fixed for prepayment or by declaration of acceleration or otherwise, then, upon written notice of such
default to the Company by the holders of such Senior Debt or any trustee therefor, unless and until such default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist, no direct or indirect payment (in cash, property, securities, by set-off or otherwise) shall be made or agreed to be made on account of the principal of or any premium or interest (including any Additional 

  
 60 

 
Interest) on any of the Securities, or in respect of any redemption, repayment, retirement, purchase or other acquisition of any of the Securities. 

(b) In the event of a bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceeding described in clause (d) or (e) of the definition of Event of
Default (each such event, if any, herein sometimes referred to as a “Proceeding”), all Senior Debt (including any interest thereon accruing after the commencement of any such proceedings) shall first be paid in full before
any payment or distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any Holder of any of the Securities on account thereof. Any payment or distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property (other than securities of
the Company or any other entity provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment the payment of which is subordinate, at least to the extent provided in these subordination provisions with respect to the indebtedness evidenced by the
Securities, to the payment of all Senior Debt at the time outstanding and to any securities issued in respect thereof under any such plan of reorganization or readjustment), which would otherwise (but for these subordination provisions) be payable
or deliverable in respect of the Securities shall be paid or delivered directly to the holders of Senior Debt in accordance with the priorities then existing among such holders until all Senior Debt (including any interest thereon accruing after the
commencement of any Proceeding) shall have been paid in full. 
 (c) In the event of any Proceeding, after payment in full of
all sums owing with respect to Senior Debt, the Holders of the Securities, together with the holders of any obligations of the Company ranking on a parity with the Securities, shall be entitled to be paid from the remaining assets of the Company the
amounts at the time due and owing on account of unpaid principal of and any premium and interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities and such other obligations before any payment or other distribution, whether in cash, property or
otherwise, shall be made on account of any capital stock of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company or any obligations of the Company, or any Affiliate of the Company, ranking junior to the Securities and such other obligations. If,
notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of any character or any security, whether in cash, securities or other property (other than securities of the Company or any other entity provided for by a plan of reorganization or
readjustment the payment of which is subordinate, at least to the extent provided in these subordination provisions with respect to the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities, to the payment of all Senior Debt at the time outstanding and to any
securities issued in respect thereof under any such plan of reorganization or readjustment) shall be received by the Trustee or any Holder in contravention of any of the terms hereof and before all Senior Debt shall have been paid in full, such
payment or distribution or security shall be received in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered and transferred to, the holders of the Senior Debt at the time outstanding in accordance with the priorities then existing among
such holders for application to the payment of all Senior Debt remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all such Senior Debt (including any interest thereon accruing after the commencement of any Proceeding) in full. In the event of the
failure of the Trustee or any Holder to endorse or assign any such payment, distribution or security, each holder of Senior Debt is hereby irrevocably authorized to endorse or assign the same. 

(d) The Trustee and the Holders, at the expense of the Company, shall take such reasonable action (including the delivery of this
Indenture to an agent for any holders of Senior Debt or consent to the filing of a financing statement with respect hereto) as may, in the opinion 

  
 61 

 
of counsel designated by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Senior Debt at the time outstanding, be necessary or appropriate to assure the effectiveness of the subordination
effected by these provisions. 
 (e) The provisions of this Section 12.2 shall not impair any rights, interests,
remedies or powers of any secured creditor of the Company in respect of any security interest the creation of which is not prohibited by the provisions of this Indenture. 
 (f) The securing of any obligations of the Company, otherwise ranking on a parity with the Securities or ranking junior to the Securities, shall not be deemed to prevent such obligations from
constituting, respectively, obligations ranking on a parity with the Securities or ranking junior to the Securities. 
 SECTION
12.3. Payment Permitted If No Default. 
 Nothing contained in this Article XII or elsewhere in this Indenture or
in any of the Securities shall prevent (a) the Company, at any time, except during the pendency of the conditions described in paragraph (a) of Section 12.2 or of any Proceeding referred to in Section 12.2, from
making payments at any time of principal of and any premium or interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities or (b) the application by the Trustee of any moneys deposited with it hereunder to the payment of or on account of the
principal of and any premium or interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities or the retention of such payment by the Holders, if, at the time of such application by the Trustee, it did not have knowledge (in accordance with
Section 12.8) that such payment would have been prohibited by the provisions of this Article XII, except as provided in Section 12.8. 
 SECTION 12.4. Subrogation to Rights of Holders of Senior Debt. 
 Subject to
the payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on all Senior Debt, or the provision for such payment in cash or cash equivalents or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt, the Holders of the Securities shall be
subrogated to the extent of the payments or distributions made to the holders of such Senior Debt pursuant to the provisions of this Article XII (equally and ratably with the holders of all indebtedness of the Company that by its express
terms is subordinated to Senior Debt of the Company to substantially the same extent as the Securities are subordinated to the Senior Debt and is entitled to like rights of subrogation by reason of any payments or distributions made to holders of
such Senior Debt) to the rights of the holders of such Senior Debt to receive payments and distributions of cash, property and securities applicable to the Senior Debt until the principal of and any premium and interest (including any Additional
Interest) on the Securities shall be paid in full. For purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior Debt 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 XII, and no payments made pursuant to the provisions of this Article XII to the holders of Senior Debt by Holders of the Securities or the Trustee, shall, as among the Company, its
creditors other than holders of Senior Debt, and the Holders of the Securities, be deemed to be a payment or distribution by the Company to or on account of the Senior Debt. 

  
 62 

 SECTION 12.5. Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights. 

The provisions of this Article XII 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 Debt on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Article XII or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall (a) impair, as between the Company and the
Holders of the Securities, the obligations of the Company, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of and any premium and interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities as and when
the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, (b) affect the relative rights against the Company of the Holders of the Securities and creditors of the Company other than their rights in relation to the holders of Senior
Debt or (c) prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security (or to the extent expressly provided herein, the holder of any Preferred Security) from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this
Indenture, including filing and voting claims in any Proceeding, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article XII of the holders of Senior Debt to receive cash, property and securities otherwise payable or deliverable to the Trustee or
such Holder. 
 SECTION 12.6. Trustee to Effectuate Subordination. 

Each Holder of a Security by his or her acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on his or her behalf to take such action as
may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or effectuate the subordination provided in this Article XII and appoints the Trustee his or her attorney-in-fact
for any and all such purposes. 
 SECTION 12.7. No Waiver of Subordination Provisions. 

(a) No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Debt 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 noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture,
regardless of any knowledge thereof that any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with. 
 (b) Without in any way
limiting the generality of paragraph (a) of this Section 12.7, the holders of Senior Debt may, at any time and from to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities, without incurring
responsibility to such Holders of the Securities and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article XII or the obligations hereunder of such Holders of the Securities to the holders of Senior Debt, 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 Debt, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner Senior Debt or any instrument evidencing the same or any
agreement under which Senior Debt is outstanding, (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior Debt, (iii) release any Person liable in any manner for the payment of
Senior Debt and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Company and any other Person. 

  
 63 

 SECTION 12.8. Notice to Trustee. 

(a) The Company shall give prompt written notice to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of any fact known to the Company that would
prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article XII or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the
existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment 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 Debt or from any trustee, agent or representative therefor; provided, that if the Trustee shall not have received the notice provided for in this Section 12.8 at least two Business Days prior to the date upon which by the
terms hereof any monies may become payable for any purpose (including, the payment of the principal of and any premium on or interest (including any Additional Interest) on any Security), then, anything herein contained to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such monies 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 within two
Business Days prior to such date. 
 (b) The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a
Person representing himself or herself to be a holder of Senior Debt (or a trustee, agent, representative or attorney-in-fact therefor) to establish that such notice has
been given by a holder of Senior Debt (or a trustee, agent, representative or attorney-in-fact therefor). In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that
further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Debt to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article XII, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Debt held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under
this Article XII, 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 12.9. Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating Agent. 

Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article XII, the Trustee and the Holders of the
Securities shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any order or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such 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 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 the Senior Debt and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article XII.

 SECTION 12.10. Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Debt. 

The Trustee, in its capacity as trustee under this Indenture, shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt
and shall not be liable to any such holders if it 

  
 64 

 
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 Debt shall be
entitled by virtue of this Article XII or otherwise. 
 SECTION 12.11. Rights of Trustee as Holder of Senior Debt;
Preservation of Trustee’s Rights. 
 The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set

 SECTION 12.12. Article Applicable to Paying Agents. 

If 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 XII 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 XII in addition to or in place of the Trustee; provided, that Sections 12.8 and 12.11 shall not apply to the Company or any Affiliate of the Company if the Company or such Affiliate
acts as Paying Agent. 
 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.

 Schedule A 
 DETERMINATION OF LIBOR 
 With respect to the Securities, the London interbank
offered rate (“LIBOR”) shall be determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the following provisions (in each case rounded to the nearest .000001%): 
 (1) On the second LIBOR Business Day (as defined below) prior to an Interest Payment Date (except, with respect to the first interest payment period, on December 26, 2003) (each such day, a
“LIBOR Determination Date”), LIBOR for any given security shall, for the following interest payment period, equal the rate, as obtained by the Calculation Agent from Bloomberg Financial Markets Commodities News, for three-month
Eurodollar deposits that appears on Dow Jones Telerate Page 3750 (as defined in the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. 1991 Interest Rate and Currency Exchange Definitions), or such other page as may replace such Page 3750, as of
11:00 a.m. (London time) on such LIBOR Determination Date. 
 (2) If, on any LIBOR Determination Date, such rate does not appear on Dow Jones
Telerate Page 3750 or such other page as may replace such Page 3750, the Calculation Agent shall determine the arithmetic mean of the offered quotations of the Reference Banks (as defined below) to leading banks in the London interbank market for
three-month Eurodollar deposits in an amount determined by the Calculation Agent by reference to requests for quotations as of approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the LIBOR Determination Date made by the Calculation Agent to the Reference
Banks. If, on any LIBOR Determination Date, at least two of the Reference Banks provide such quotations, LIBOR shall equal such arithmetic mean of such quotations. If, on any LIBOR Determination Date, only one or none of the Reference Banks provide
such quotations, LIBOR shall be deemed to be the arithmetic mean of the offered quotations that leading banks in the City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting on the relevant LIBOR Determination Date for three-month Eurodollar
deposits in an amount determined by the Calculation Agent by reference to the principal London offices of leading banks in the London interbank market; provided that, if the Calculation Agent is required but is unable to determine a rate in
accordance with at least one of the procedures provided above, LIBOR shall be LIBOR as determined on the previous LIBOR Determination Date. 

(3) As used herein: “Reference Banks” means four major banks in the London interbank market selected by the Calculation Agent; and
“LIBOR Business Day” means a day on which commercial banks are open for business (including dealings in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in London.

	  	 CONSENT ORDER

      FDIC-12-058b

 The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) is the appropriate Federal banking agency for
Macon Bank, Franklin, North Carolina (“Bank”), under 12 U.S.C. § 1813(q). 
 The Bank, by and through its duly elected and
acting Board of Directors (“Board”), has executed a “Stipulation to the Issuance of a Consent Order” (“STIPULATION”), dated March 26, 2012, that is accepted by the FDIC and the North Carolina Commissioner of Banks
(“Commissioner”). With the STIPULATION, the Bank has consented, without admitting or denying any charges of unsafe or unsound banking practices or violations of law or regulation relating to weakness in capital, asset quality, management,
earnings, liquidity, and sensitivity to market risk, to the issuance of this Consent Order (“ORDER”) by the FDIC and the Commissioner. The Commissioner may issue an ORDER pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. § 54C-76(a) (2005). 

Having determined that the requirements for issuance of an order under 12 U.S.C. § 1818(b) and N.C. Gen. Stat. § 54C-76(a)
(2005) have been satisfied, the FDIC and the Commissioner hereby order that: 

 BOARD OF DIRECTORS 

1. (a) As of the effective date of this ORDER, the Board shall increase its participation in the affairs of the Bank, assuming full responsibility for the
approval of sound policies and objectives and for the supervision of all of the Bank’s activities, consistent with the role and expertise commonly expected for directors of banks of comparable size. This participation shall include meetings to
be held no less frequently than monthly at which, at a minimum, the following areas shall be reviewed and approved: reports of income and expenses; new, overdue, renewal, insider, charged off, and recovered loans; investment activity; adoption or
modification of operating policies; individual committee reports; audit reports; internal control reviews including management’s responses; and compliance with this ORDER. Board meeting minutes shall document these reviews and approvals,
including the names of any dissenting directors. 
 (b) Within 30 days from the effective date of this ORDER, the Board shall establish a
Board committee (“Directors’ Committee”), consisting of at least five members, to oversee the Bank’s compliance with this ORDER. At least three of the members of such committee shall be directors not employed in any capacity by
the Bank other than as a director. The Directors’ Committee shall formulate and review monthly reports detailing the Bank’s actions with respect to compliance with this ORDER. The Directors’ Committee shall present a report to the
Board at each regularly scheduled Board meeting, and such report shall detail the Bank’s adherence to this ORDER. Such report shall be recorded in the appropriate Board meeting minutes and shall be retained in the Bank’s records.
Establishment of this committee does not in any way diminish the responsibility of the entire Board to ensure compliance with the provisions of this ORDER. 

  
 2 

 (c) Within 30 days from the effective date of this ORDER, the Board shall designate a
directors’ committee to review and approve loans of 1,000,000 or more, with such committee being structured so that a majority of its members are directors who are not actively involved in the Bank’s lending activities. 

MANAGEMENT 
 2. (a) Within 90 days
from the effective date of this ORDER, the Bank shall have and retain qualified management with the qualifications and experience commensurate with assigned duties and responsibilities at the Bank. Each member of management shall be provided
appropriate written authority from the Board to implement the provisions of this ORDER. At a minimum, management shall include the following: 

(i) A chief executive officer with proven ability in managing a bank of comparable size and in effectively implementing lending, investment and
operating policies in accordance with safe and sound banking practices; 
 (ii) A senior lending officer with a significant amount of
appropriate lending, collection, and loan supervision experience, and experience in upgrading a low quality loan portfolio; and 
 (iii) A
chief financial officer with a significant amount of appropriate experience in managing the operations of a bank of similar size and complexity in accordance with sound banking practices. 

  
 3 

 (b) The qualifications of management shall be assessed on its ability to: 

(i) Comply with the requirements of this ORDER; 

(ii) Operate the Bank in a safe and sound manner; 

(iii) Comply with applicable laws and regulations; and 

(iv) Restore all aspects of the Bank to a safe and sound condition, including, but not limited to, asset quality, capital adequacy, earnings,
management effectiveness, risk management, liquidity and sensitivity to market risk. 
 (c) During the life of this ORDER, the Bank shall
notify the Regional Director of the FDIC’s Atlanta Regional Office (“Regional Director”) and the Commissioner (collectively, “Supervisory Authorities”), in writing, of the resignation or termination of any of the Bank’s
directors or senior executive officers. Prior to the addition of any individual to the Board or the employment of any individual as a senior executive officer, the Bank shall comply with the requirements of section 32 of the Act, 12 U.S.C. §
1831i, 12 C.F.R. §§ 303.100-303.104, and any State requirement for prior notification and approval. If the Supervisory Authorities issue a notice of disapproval pursuant to 12 U.S.C. § 1831i, with respect to the proposed individual,
then such individual may not be added to the Board or employed by the Bank. 
 (d) Within 60 days from the effective date of this ORDER, the
Bank shall develop and approve a written analysis and assessment of the Bank’s management and staffing needs (“Management Plan”) for the purpose of providing qualified management for the Bank. The Management Plan shall include, at a
minimum: 
 (i) Identification of both the type and number of officer positions needed to properly manage and supervise the affairs of the
Bank; 

  
 4 

 (ii) Identification and establishment of such Bank committees as are needed to provide guidance
and oversight to active management; 
 (iii) Written evaluations of all senior executive officers to determine whether such individuals
possess the ability, experience and other qualifications required to perform present and anticipated duties, including, but not limited to, adherence to the Bank’s established policies and practices, restoration of the Bank to a safe and sound
condition, and maintenance of the Bank in a safe and sound condition thereafter; 
 (iv) A plan to recruit and hire any additional or
replacement personnel with the requisite ability, experience and other qualifications to fill those officer or staff member positions consistent with the needs identified in the Management Plan; and 

(v) An organizational chart. 
 (e)
Such Management Plan and its implementation shall be satisfactory to the Supervisory Authorities at the initial review and at subsequent examinations and/or visitations. 

CAPITAL 
 3. (a) Within 90 days
from the effective date of this ORDER, the Bank shall have Tier 1 Capital in such amount as to equal or exceed 8 percent of its Total Assets, and shall have Total Risk-Based Capital in such an amount as to equal or exceed 11 percent of the
Bank’s total risk-weighted assets. 

  
 5 

 (b) During the life of this ORDER, the Bank shall maintain a Leverage Capital Ratio of at least 8
percent and a Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio of at least 11 percent as those capital ratios are defined in 12 C.F.R. § 325. 
 (c) The
level of Tier 1 Capital to be maintained during the life of this ORDER pursuant to this paragraph shall be in addition to a fully funded allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”), the adequacy of which shall be satisfactory to the
Supervisory Authorities as determined at subsequent examinations and/or visitations. 
 (d) Within 60 days from the effective date of this
ORDER, the Bank shall submit to the Supervisory Authorities a written capital plan. Such capital plan shall detail the steps that the Bank shall take to achieve and maintain the capital requirements set forth in this ORDER. In developing the capital
plan, the Bank shall take into consideration: 
 (i) The volume of the Bank’s adversely classified assets; 

(ii) The nature and level of the Bank’s asset concentrations; 

(iii) The adequacy of the Bank’s ALLL;

(e) In addition, the capital plan must include a contingency plan in the event that the Bank has failed to: 

(i) Maintain the minimum capital ratios required by this paragraph; 

  
 6 

 (ii) Submit an acceptable capital plan as required by this paragraph; or 

(iii) Implement or adhere to a capital plan to which the Supervisory Authorities has taken no written objection pursuant to this paragraph.

 (f) The contingency plan shall include a plan to sell or merge the Bank. The Bank shall implement the contingency plan upon written notice
from the Supervisory Authorities. 
 (g) If any such capital ratios are less than the percentages required by this ORDER, as determined as of
the date of any Consolidated Report of Condition and Income or at an examination by the FDIC or the Commissioner, the Bank shall, within 30 days from receipt of a written notice of the capital deficiency from Supervisory Authorities, present to the
Supervisory Authorities a plan to increase the Bank’s Tier 1 Capital or to take other measures to bring all the capital ratios to the percentages required by this ORDER. After the Supervisory Authorities respond to the plan, the Board shall
implement the plan, including any modifications and/or amendments requested by the Supervisory Authorities. 
 (h) Any increase in Tier 1
Capital necessary to meet the requirements of this ORDER may be accomplished by the following: 
 (i) Sale of common stock; 

(ii) Sale of noncumulative perpetual preferred stock; 

(iii) Direct contribution of cash by the Board, shareholders, and/or parent holding company; 

(iv) Any combination of the above means; or 

(v) Any other means acceptable to the Supervisory Authorities. 

  
 7 

 (i) No increase in Tier 1 Capital that is necessary to meet the requirements of this ORDER may be
accomplished through a deduction from the Bank’s ALLL. 
 (j) If all or part of any necessary increase in Tier 1 Capital required by
this ORDER is accomplished by the sale of new securities, the Board shall take all necessary steps to implement a plan for the sale of such additional securities, including the voting of any shares owned or proxies held or controlled by them in
favor of the plan. Should the implementation of the plan involve a public distribution of the Bank’s securities (including a distribution limited only to the Bank’s existing shareholders), the Bank shall prepare offering materials fully
describing the securities being offered, including an accurate description of the financial condition of the Bank and the circumstances giving rise to the offering, and any other material disclosures necessary to comply with applicable federal
securities laws. Prior to the implementation of the plan and, in any event, not less than 15 days prior to the dissemination of such materials, the plan and any materials used in the sale of the securities shall be submitted to the FDIC, Division of
Risk Management Supervision, Accounting and Securities Disclosure Section, 550 17th Street, N.W., Room MB-5073, Washington, D.C. 20429 and to the North Carolina Office of the Commissioner of Banks, 4309 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina
27699, for review. Any changes requested to be made in the plan or materials by the FDIC shall be made prior to the dissemination of the plan and materials. If the increase in Tier 1 Capital is provided by the sale of noncumulative perpetual
preferred stock, then all terms and conditions of the issue, including but not limited to those terms and conditions relative to interest rate and convertibility factor, shall be presented to the Supervisory Authorities for prior approval. 

  
 8 

 (k) In complying with the provisions of the Capital paragraph of this ORDER, if all or part of
any necessary increase in Tier 1 Capital required by this ORDER is accomplished by the sale of securities, the Bank shall provide written notice of any material events to any subscriber and/or purchaser of the Bank’s securities until closing of
the offering and disbursement of funds to the Bank from escrow. A material event is an occurrence that would likely be viewed by a reasonable investor as directly affecting the decision to purchase, or not to purchase, the Bank’s securities
through an offering. The written notice required by this paragraph shall be furnished within 10 days from the date a material event was planned or occurred, whichever is earlier, and shall be furnished to every subscriber and/or purchaser of the
Bank’s securities who received or was tendered the Bank’s original offering information. 
 CLASSIFIED ASSET REDUCTION

 4. (a) Within 60 days from the effective date of this ORDER, the Bank shall submit a written plan to the Supervisory Authorities to reduce the
remaining assets classified “Doubtful” and “Substandard” in the Report of Examination dated November 14, 2011 (“Report”) or any future regulatory examination report. The plan shall address each asset so classified
with a balance of $350,000 or greater and provide the following: 
 (i) The name under which the asset is carried on the books of the Bank;

 (ii) Type of asset; 
 (iii)
Actions to be taken in order to reduce the classified asset; and 
 (iv) Timeframes for accomplishing the proposed actions. 

  
 9 

 (b) The plan shall also include, at a minimum: 

(i) A review of the financial position of each such borrower, including the source of repayment, repayment ability, and alternate repayment
sources; and 
 (ii) An evaluation of the available collateral for each such credit, including possible actions to improve the Bank’s
collateral position. 
 (c) In addition, the Bank’s plan shall contain a schedule detailing the projected reduction of total classified
assets on a quarterly basis. Further, the plan shall require the submission of monthly progress reports to the Board and mandate a review by the Board. 

(d) The Bank shall present the plan to the Supervisory Authorities for review. Within 30 days from the Supervisory Authorities’ response,
the plan, including any requested modifications or amendments, shall be adopted by the Board and the approval shall be recorded in the Board minutes. The Bank shall then immediately implement the plan. 

(e) For purposes of the plan, the reduction of adversely classified assets as of the Report shall be detailed using quarterly targets expressed
as a percentage of the Bank’s Tier 1 Capital plus the Bank’s ALLL and may be accomplished by: 
 (i) Charge-off; 

(ii) Collection; 
 (iii)
Sufficient improvement in the quality of adversely classified assets so as to warrant removing any adverse classification, as determined by the FDIC or the State; and/or 

(iv) Increase in the Bank’s Tier 1 Capital. 

  
 10 

 CHARGE-OFF LOSS AND DOUBTFUL 

5.(a) Within 10 days from the effective date of this ORDER, the Bank shall eliminate from its books, by charge-off or collection, all assets or portions of
assets classified “Loss” in the Report that have not been previously collected or charged-off. If an asset is classified “Doubtful”, the Bank may, in the alternative, charge-off the amount that is considered uncollectible in
accordance with the Bank’s written analysis of loan or lease impairment. Such analysis shall be accomplished in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council’s
(“FFIEC”) Instructions for Preparation of Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income (FFIEC 031 and 041), http://www.ffiec.gov/, Interagency Statements of Policy on the ALLL, and other applicable regulatory guidance that addresses
the adequacy of the Bank’s ALLL. Elimination of any of these assets through proceeds of other loans made by the Bank is not considered collection for purposes of this paragraph. 

(b) Additionally, while this ORDER remains in effect, the Bank shall, within 30 days from the receipt of any official Report of Examination of
the Bank from the FDIC or the Commissioner, eliminate from its books, by collection, charge-off, or other proper entry, the remaining balance of any asset classified “Loss” and fifty percent (50%) of those assets classified
“Doubtful” unless otherwise approved in writing by the Supervisory Authorities. 
 CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT 

6. (a) Within 90 days from the effective date of this ORDER, the Bank shall perform a risk segmentation analysis and develop a plan with respect to the
concentrations of credit listed on the Concentrations page(s) of the Report. The analysis and plan should incorporate applicable guidance set forth in Guidance on Concentrations in Commercial Real Estate Lending, Sound

  
 11 

 
Risk Management Practices, FIL-104-2006 (Dec. 12, 2006). Concentrations should be identified by product type, geographic distribution, underlying collateral, or other asset groups which
are considered economically related, and in the aggregate represent a large portion of the Bank’s Tier 1 Capital and reserve for ALLL. A copy of this analysis and plan shall be provided to the Supervisory Authorities. The plan and its
implementation shall be in a form and manner acceptable to the Supervisory Authorities at the initial review and at subsequent examinations and/or visitations. 

(b) Within 90 days from the effective date of this ORDER, the Bank shall develop and submit for review a written plan for systematically
reducing and monitoring the Bank’s Commercial Real Estate (“CRE”) Loans concentration of credit identified in the Report to an amount which is commensurate with the Bank’s business strategy, management expertise, size, and
location (“Concentration Reduction Plan”). 
 (c) The Concentration Reduction Plan shall comply with applicable guidance referenced
in Guidance on Concentrations in Commercial Real Estate Lending, Sound Risk Management Practices, FIL-104-2006 (Dec. 12, 2006), and Managing Commercial Real Estate Concentrations in a Challenging Environment, FIL-22-2008 (Mar. 17, 2008). The
Concentration Reduction Plan shall include, but not be limited to: 
 (i) Dollar levels and percent of total capital to which the Bank shall
reduce each concentration; 
 (ii) Timeframes for achieving the reduction in dollar levels in response to the paragraph above; 

(iii) Provisions for controlling and monitoring of CRE, including plans to address the rationale for CRE levels as they relate to growth and
capital targets, segmentation, and testing of the CRE portfolio to detect and limit concentrations with similar risk characteristics; and 

  
 12 

 (iv) Provisions for the submission of monthly written progress reports to the Board for review
and notation in minutes of the Board meetings. 
 (d) The Concentration Reduction Plan shall be submitted to the Supervisory Authorities for
non-objection or comment. Within 30 days from receipt of non-objection or any comments from the Supervisory Authorities, and after incorporation and adoption of all comments, the Board shall approve the Concentration Reduction Plan, which approval
shall be recorded in the Board meeting minutes. Thereafter, the Bank shall implement and fully comply with the Concentration Reduction Plan. 

LENDING 
 7. Within 90 days from
the effective date of this ORDER, the Board shall review, revise, adopt, and submit to the Supervisory Authorities its written lending and collection policy to provide effective guidance and control over the Bank’s lending and credit
administration functions, which implementation shall include the resolution of those exceptions enumerated in the Report. The written policy shall include specific guidelines for concentrations of credit, placing loans on nonaccrual status,
limitations on interest reserves and deferred payment plans, procedures to ensure that the Bank performs appropriate underwriting prior to purchasing loan participations, and provisions which establish a written policy governing the Bank’s
Other Assets. In addition, the Bank shall obtain adequate and current documentation for all loans in the Bank’s loan portfolio. Such policy and its implementation shall be in a form and manner acceptable to the Supervisory Authorities at the
initial review and at subsequent examinations and/or visitations.

additional credit shall be approved by a majority of the Board or a designated committee thereof, who shall certify in writing that:

certification shall be retained in the borrower’s credit file.

at least once each calendar quarter. Said review shall be completed in time to properly report the ALLL in the quarterly Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income. The review shall focus on the results of the Bank’s internal loan review,
