Insurance Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee (the “Trustee”). 
 RECITALS OF THE COMPANY 
 WHEREAS, the Company and the Trustee
executed and delivered an Indenture, dated as of March 20, 2013 (the “Base Indenture,” as supplemented by this First Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), to provide for the issuance by the Company from time to time of
Securities to be issued in one or more series as provided in the Base Indenture; 
 WHEREAS, Section 9.1 of the Base
Indenture provides, among other things, that the Company and the Trustee may enter into indentures supplemental to the Base Indenture, without the consent of any Holders of Securities, to establish the form of any Security, as permitted by
Section 2.1 of the Base Indenture, and to provide for the issuance of the Debentures (as defined below), as permitted by Section 3.1 of the Base Indenture, and to set forth the terms thereof; 

WHEREAS, the Company desires to execute this First Supplemental Indenture pursuant to Section 2.1 of the Base Indenture to

 WHEREAS, all things necessary have been done by the Company to make this First Supplemental Indenture, when executed and delivered by the Company, a valid supplement to the Indenture; and

 WHEREAS, all things necessary have been done by the Company to make the Debentures, when executed by the Company and
authenticated and delivered in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, the valid obligations of the Company; 
 NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises stated herein and the purchase of the Debentures by the Holders thereof, the Company and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and proportionate benefit of the respective Holders from
time to time of the Debentures as follows: 

 ARTICLE 1 
 APPLICATION OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE 
 Section 1.01. Application of First Supplemental Indenture. Notwithstanding any other provision of this First Supplemental Indenture, all provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture are
expressly and solely for the benefit of the Holders of the Debentures and any such provisions shall not be deemed to apply to any other Securities issued under the Indenture and shall not be deemed to amend, modify or supplement the Base Indenture
for any purpose other than with respect to the Debentures. Unless otherwise expressly specified, references in this First Supplemental Indenture to specific Article numbers or Section numbers refer to Articles and Sections contained in this First
Supplemental Indenture as they amend or supplement the Base Indenture, and not the Base Indenture or any other document. 

ARTICLE 2 

DEFINITIONS 
 Section 2.01. Terms Defined in the Indenture. For purposes of this First Supplemental Indenture, all capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such
terms in the Base Indenture, as amended hereby. 
 Section 2.02. Additional Definitions. For the benefit of the
Holders of the Debentures, Section 1.1 of the Base Indenture shall be amended by adding the following new definitions:

“Base Indenture” has the meaning specified in the recitals hereto. 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by an Independent Investment
Banker as having an actual or interpolated maturity that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing a new issue of corporate debt securities maturing on March 30, 2018.

 “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (1) the average of four Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Trustee obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of

“Global Debenture” has the meaning specified in 3.01(c). 

  
 2 

 “Indebtedness for Money Borrowed” shall mean (i) any obligation of, or any
obligation guaranteed by, the Company for which the Company is responsible or liable as obligor or otherwise including principal, premium and interest (whether accruing before or after filing of any petition in bankruptcy or any similar proceedings
by or against the Company and whether or not allowed as a claim in bankruptcy or similar proceedings) for (A) indebtedness for money borrowed, (B) indebtedness evidenced by securities, bonds, debentures, notes or other similar written
instruments, (C) any deferred obligation for the payment of the purchase price or conditional sale obligation of property or assets acquired other than in the ordinary course of business, (D) all obligations for the reimbursement of any
letter of credit, banker’s acceptance, security purchase facility or similar credit transaction, (E) all obligations under “keep-well” agreements required by insurance regulators or (F) any obligation referred to in

contracts, commodity contracts (including future or options contracts), swap agreements, cap agreements, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements and similar arrangements, whether outstanding on March 27, 2013 or thereafter created, assumed
or incurred. 
 “Indebtedness Ranking Junior to the Debentures” shall mean any Indebtedness for Money Borrowed,
whether outstanding on March 27, 2013 or thereafter created, assumed or incurred, which specifically by its terms ranks junior to and not equally with or prior to the Debentures (and any other Indebtedness Ranking on a Parity with the
Debentures) in right of payment upon any dissolution or winding-up or liquidation or reorganization or similar events of the Company. The securing of any Indebtedness for Money Borrowed, otherwise constituting Indebtedness Ranking Junior to the
Debentures, shall not be deemed to prevent such Indebtedness for Money Borrowed from constituting Indebtedness Ranking Junior to the Debentures. 
 “Indebtedness Ranking on a Parity with the Debentures” shall mean (a) the 8.207% Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures Due February 3, 2027 issued by the Company and

or winding-up or liquidation or reorganization or similar events of the Company. The securing of any Indebtedness for Money Borrowed, otherwise constituting Indebtedness Ranking on a Parity with the Debentures, shall not be deemed to prevent such
Indebtedness for Money Borrowed from constituting Indebtedness Ranking on a Parity with the Debentures. 
 “Independent
Investment Banker” means one of Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, and their successors, appointed by the Trustee after consultation with the Company

 3

compounded interest on such deferred amounts) and all other accrued interest on the Debentures. 
 “Rating Agency
Event” means that any nationally recognized statistical rating organization within the meaning of Section 3(a)(62) under the Exchange Act that then publishes a rating for the Company (a “rating agency”) amends, clarifies or
changes the criteria it uses to assign equity credit to securities such as the Debentures, which amendment, clarification or change results in (a) the shortening of the length of time the Debentures are assigned a particular level of equity
credit by that rating agency as compared to the length of time the Debentures would have been assigned that level of equity credit by that rating agency or its predecessor on the initial issuance of the Debentures; or (b) the lowering of the
equity credit (including up to a lesser amount) assigned to the Debentures by that rating agency compared to the equity credit assigned by that rating agency or its predecessor on the initial issuance of the Debentures. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith
Incorporated and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, and their respective successors and one other primary U.S. government securities dealer (each, a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), specified by the Company; provided that (1) if any of
Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, or their respective successors or any Primary Treasury Dealer specified by the Company shall cease to be a Primary Treasury
Dealer, the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer and (2) if the Company fails to select a substitute within a reasonable period of time, then the substitute will be a Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Trustee
after consultation with the Company. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to a Reference
Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed, in each case, as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in
writing to the Independent Investment Banker by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date. 

  
 4 

 “Senior Indebtedness” shall mean all Indebtedness for Money Borrowed, whether
outstanding on March 27, 2013 or thereafter created, assumed or incurred, except Indebtedness Ranking on a Parity with the Debentures or Indebtedness Ranking Junior to the Debentures, and any deferrals, renewals or extension of such Senior
Indebtedness. 
 “Tax Event” means that the Company will have received an opinion of counsel, rendered by a law firm
of nationally recognized standing that is experienced in such matters, stating that, as a result of any: 
 (a) amendment to, or
change in (including any promulgation, enactment, execution or modification of) the laws (or any regulations under those laws) of the United States or any political subdivision thereof or therein affecting taxation; 

(b) official administrative pronouncement (including a private letter ruling, technical advice memorandum or similar pronouncement) or

writing against any taxpayer that has raised capital through the issuance of securities that are substantially similar to the Debentures,

becomes publicly known on or after March 27, 2013, there is more than an insubstantial increase in the risk that interest accruable or payable by the Company on the Debentures is not, or will not be, deductible by the Company in whole or in
part, for United States federal income tax purposes. 
 “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date,
the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated maturity (on a day count basis) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal
amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date.

 5 

 
dated the date of its authentication. The Debentures and any beneficial interest in the Debentures shall be in minimum denominations of $25 and multiples of $25 in excess thereof. 

(b) The terms and notations contained in the Debentures shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of the Indenture, and the
Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this First Supplemental Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. 
 (c) The Debentures shall be issued initially in the form of fully registered Global Securities (the “Global Debentures”), which shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Debentures
represented thereby with The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York (the “Depositary”) and registered in the name of Cede & Co., the Depositary’s nominee, duly executed by the Company, authenticated by the Trustee.

 Section 3.02. Execution and Authentication. The Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with
this Section 3.02, authenticate and deliver a Global Debenture representing the Initial Debentures that shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary and shall be delivered by the Trustee to the Depositary
or pursuant to the Depositary’s instructions. 
 Section 3.03. Paying Agent. The Company initially appoints the
Trustee as Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Debentures and the office of the Trustee at U.S. Bank National Association, One Federal Street, 3rd Floor, Boston, Massachusetts 02110, Attention:
Corporate Trust Services, Reference # Hanover 2013, be and hereby is, designated as the Place of Payment where the Debentures may be presented for payment. 
 Section 3.04. Terms of the Debentures. The following terms relating to the Debentures are hereby established: 
 (a) Title. The Debentures shall constitute a series of Securities having the title “6.35% Subordinated Debentures due 2053”. 

(b) Principal Amount. The aggregate principal amount of the Debentures that may be initially authenticated and delivered under the
Indenture (the “Initial Debentures”) shall be $175,000,000 (except for Debentures authenticated and delivered upon registration of, transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Debentures pursuant to Sections 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 9.6 or
11.7 of the Base Indenture). The Company may from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of Debentures, issue additional Debentures (in any such case “Additional Debentures”) having the same ranking and the same interest rate,
Maturity and other terms as the Initial Debentures (other than the public offering price and date of issuance and, under certain circumstances, the date from which interest thereon will begin to accrue), provided, however, that no Additional
Debentures may be issued unless the Additional Debentures are fungible with the Debentures for U.S. federal income tax purposes or issued with a different CUSIP. Any Additional Debentures together with the Initial Debentures shall constitute a
single series 

  
 6 

 
of Securities for all purposes under the Indenture, including waivers, amendments and redemptions, and all references to the Debentures shall include the Initial Debentures and any Additional
Debentures unless the context otherwise requires. 
 (c) Maturity Date. The entire outstanding principal amount of the
Debentures shall be payable on March 30, 2053. 
 (d) Interest Rate. The rate at which the Debentures shall bear
interest shall be 6.35% per annum; the date from which interest shall accrue on the Debentures shall be March 27, 2013, or the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or provided for; the Interest Payment Dates
for the Debentures shall be March 30, June 30, September 30 and December 30 of each year, beginning June 30, 2013; the interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date,
will be paid, in immediately available funds, to the Persons in whose names the Debenture (or predecessor Debenture) is registered (which shall initially be the Depositary) at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which
shall be March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. However, interest paid on the Maturity Date or a Redemption Date
will be payable to the Person to whom the principal will be payable. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. For so long as the Debentures are represented in global form by one or more Global
Securities, all payments of principal (and premium, if any) and interest shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of the Global Debenture representing
such Debentures. In the event that definitive Debentures shall have been issued, all payments of principal (and premium, if any) and interest shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts of the registered Holders
thereof; provided, that the Company may elect to make such payments at the office of the Paying Agent in One Federal Street, 3rd Floor, Boston, Massachusetts 02110, Attention: Corporate Trust Services, Reference # Hanover 2013; and provided further,
that the Company may at its option pay interest by check to the registered address of each Holder of a definitive Debenture. 

(e) Sinking Fund. The Debentures are not subject to any sinking fund. 

Section 3.05. Option to Defer Interest Payments. (a) So long as no Event of Default with respect to the Debentures has
occurred and is continuing, the Company shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to defer the payment of interest on the Debentures for one or more Optional Deferral Periods of up to five consecutive years, provided that no
Optional Deferral Period shall extend beyond March 30, 2053, any earlier accelerated maturity date arising from an Event of Default or any other earlier redemption of the Debentures. 

(b) During any Optional Deferral Period, interest shall continue to accrue on the Debentures, and deferred interest payments shall accrue
additional interest at the then applicable interest rate on the Debentures, compounded quarterly as of each Interest Payment Date to the extent permitted by applicable law. No interest otherwise due during

  
 7 

 
an Optional Deferral Period shall be due and payable on the Debentures until the end of such Optional Deferral Period except upon an acceleration or redemption of the Debentures during such
deferral period. 
 (c) At the end of any Optional Deferral Period, the Company shall pay all deferred interest (including
compounded interest thereon) on the Debentures to the Persons in whose names the Debentures are registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date with respect to the Interest Payment Date at the end of such Optional Deferral Period.

 (d) At the end of five years following the commencement of any Optional Deferral Period, the Company shall pay all accrued
and unpaid deferred interest, including compounded interest thereon, and the Company’s failure to pay all such accrued and unpaid deferred interest, including compounded interest thereon, for a period of 30 days after the conclusion of such
five-year period shall result in an Event of Default giving rise to a right of acceleration. If, at the end of any Optional Deferral Period, the Company shall have paid all deferred interest due on the Debentures, including compounded interest, the
Company may again defer interest payments on the Debentures pursuant to this Section 3.05. 
 (e) The Company shall give
written notice of its election to commence or continue any Optional Deferral Period to the Trustee and the Holders of the Debentures at least one Business Day and not more than 60 Business Days before the next Interest Payment Date. In addition, the
Company’s failure to pay interest on the Debentures on any Interest Payment Date will itself constitute the commencement of an Optional Deferral Period unless the Company pays such interest within five Business Days after any such Interest
Payment Date, whether or not the Company provides a notice of deferral. 
 Section 3.06. Redemption at the Option of the
Company. The provisions of Article 11 of the Base Indenture, as supplemented by the provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture, shall apply to the Debentures. 
 (a) The Company may redeem the Debentures in increments of $25 principal amount: 
 (i) in whole at any time or in part from time to time on or after March 30, 2018, at a Redemption Price equal to their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest (including compounded
interest, if any) to, but excluding, the Redemption Date; provided that if the Debentures are not redeemed in whole, at least $25 million aggregate principal amount of the Debentures must remain Outstanding after giving effect to such
redemption; 
 (ii) in whole, but not in part, at any time prior to March 30, 2018, within 90 days of the
occurrence of a Tax Event, at a Redemption Price equal to their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest (including compounded interest, if any) to, but excluding, the Redemption Date; or 

(iii) in whole, but not in part, at any time prior to March 30, 2018, within 90 days of the occurrence of a Rating
Agency Event, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (a) 100% of their principal amount or (b) the present value of a payment on March 30, 2018 in an amount equal to their outstanding principal amount and scheduled payments of
interest that would have accrued on the Debentures to be redeemed from the Redemption Date to March 30, 2018, discounted to the Redemption Date on a quarterly basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury
Rate plus 50 basis points, in each case, plus any accrued and unpaid interest (including compounded interest, if any) to but excluding the Redemption Date. 

  
 8

 ARTICLE 4 
 SUBORDINATION 
 Section 4.01. Agreement to Subordinate.
The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of Debentures issued under the Indenture likewise covenants and agrees, that the Debentures shall be issued subject to the provisions of this Article 4; and each Holder of a Debenture, whether upon
original issue or upon transfer or assignment thereof, accepts and agrees to be bound by such provisions. 
 The payment by the
Company of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Debentures shall, to the extent and in the manner set forth in this Article 4, be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness,
whether outstanding at the date of this First Supplemental Indenture or thereafter incurred. 
 No provision of this Article 4
shall prevent the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Debentures or any event, act or condition that with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Debentures. 

Section 4.02. Default on Senior Indebtedness. Unless Section 4.03 shall be applicable, in the event and during the
continuation of any default by the Company in the payment of principal, premium, interest or any other payment due on any Senior Indebtedness, or in the event that the maturity of any Senior Indebtedness has been or would be permitted upon notice or
the passage of time to be accelerated because of a default, then, unless and until such event of default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist and such acceleration shall have been rescinded or annulled, then no payment or
distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, properties or securities shall be made by the Company with respect to the principal (including redemption payments) of or premium, if any, or interest on the Debentures or on account of the
purchase or other acquisition of Debentures by the Company or any Subsidiary, in each case unless and until all amounts due or to become due on such Senior Indebtedness are paid in full in cash or other consideration satisfactory to the holders of
such Senior Indebtedness. 
 In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment shall be received by the Trustee or a
holder of any Debenture when such payment is prohibited by the preceding paragraph of this Section 4.02, such payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their
respective representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, but only to the extent that the holders of the Senior
Indebtedness (or their representative or representatives or a trustee) notify the Trustee in writing, within 90 days of such payment. 
 Section 4.03. Prior Payment to Senior Indebtedness Upon Acceleration of Debentures. In the event that any Debentures are declared due and payable before their Stated Maturity, then no payment
or distribution of any kind or character, whether in 

  
 11 

 
cash, properties or securities shall be made by the Company on account of the principal (including redemption payments) of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Debentures or on account of the
purchase or other acquisition of Debentures by the Company or any Subsidiary, until all amounts due on or in respect of Senior Indebtedness outstanding at the time of such acceleration shall have been paid in full to the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness in cash or other consideration satisfactory to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, or provision shall have been made for such payment. 
 In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment shall be received by the Trustee or the Holder of any Debenture prohibited by the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.03, such payment
shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their respective representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any of such Senior
Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, but only to the extent that the holders of the Senior Indebtedness (or their representative or representatives or a trustee) notify the Trustee in writing, within 90 days
of such payment. 
 The provisions of this Section shall not apply to any payment with respect to which Section 4.04 would
be applicable. 
 Section 4.04. Liquidation; Dissolution; Bankruptcy. In the case of the pendency of any
receivership, insolvency, dissolution, winding-up, liquidation, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshaling of assets or liabilities of the Company or other similar judicial proceeding relative to the Company,
whether voluntary or involuntary or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other proceedings (each such event, if any herein sometimes referred to as a “Proceeding”), then the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to receive
payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on such Senior Indebtedness, or provision shall be made for such payment in cash or cash equivalents or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, before the Holders
of the Debentures are entitled to receive or retain any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (including any payment or distribution which may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of
any other debt of the Company subordinated to the payment of the Debentures, such payment or distribution being hereinafter referred to as a “Junior Subordinated Payment”), on account of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on the
Debentures or on account of the purchase or other acquisition of Debentures by the Company or any Subsidiary, and to that end the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to receive, for application to the payment thereof, any payment or
distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, including any Junior Subordinated Payment, which may be payable or deliverable in respect of the Debentures in any such Proceeding. 

In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, the Trustee or the Holders of any Debenture shall have
received any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, including any Junior Subordinated Payment, before all amounts due or to become due on

  
 12 

 
all Senior Indebtedness are paid in full or payment thereof is provided for in cash or cash equivalents or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and if such
fact shall, at or prior to the time of such payment or distribution, have been made actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or, as the case may be, such Holder, then in such event such payment or distribution shall be paid over or
delivered forthwith to the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee, agent or other Person making payment or distribution of assets of the Company for application to the payment of all amounts due or to become due on
all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all amounts due or to become due on all Senior Indebtedness in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior Indebtedness.

 For purposes of this Article 4, the words “cash, property or securities” shall not be deemed (so long as the effect
of any exclusion employing this definition is not to cause the Debentures to be treated in any Proceeding as a part of the same class of claims as the Senior Indebtedness or any class of claims pari passu with, or senior to the Senior Indebtedness)
to include shares of stock of the Company as reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment, the payment of which is subordinated at least to the extent
provided in this Article 4 with respect to the Debentures to the payment of Senior Indebtedness that may at the time be outstanding, provided that (i) such Senior Indebtedness is assumed by the new corporation, if any, resulting from any
such reorganization or readjustment, and (ii) the rights of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness are not, without the consent of such holders, altered by such reorganization or readjustment. The consolidation of the Company with, or the
merger of the Company into, another Person or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company following the sale, conveyance, transfer or lease of its property as an entirety, or substantially as an entirety, to another Person upon the terms and
conditions provided for in Article VIII of the Base Indenture shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization for the purposes of this Section 4.04 if such other Person shall, as a part of such consolidation,
merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease, comply with the conditions stated in Article VIII of the Base Indenture. 

Section 4.05. Subrogation. Subject to the payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on all Senior Indebtedness to
the extent provided herein or the provision for such payment in cash or cash equivalents or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the rights of the Holders of the Debentures shall be subrogated to the rights of
the holders of such Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions made to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness pursuant to the provisions of this Article 4 (equally and ratably with the holders of all Indebtedness of the Company which
by its express terms is subordinated to Senior Indebtedness of the Company to substantially the same extent as the Debentures are subordinated to the Senior Indebtedness and is entitled to like rights of subrogation by reason of payments or
distributions made to holders of such Senior Indebtedness) to the rights of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness to receive payments and distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company, as the case may be, applicable to such Senior
Indebtedness until the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Debentures shall be paid in 

  
 13 

 
full; and, for the purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness of any cash, property or securities to which the Holders of the Debentures
or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article 4, and no payment over pursuant to the provisions of this Article 4 to or for the benefit of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness by Holders of the Debentures or the
Trustee, shall, as between the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, and the Holders of the Debentures, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of such Senior Indebtedness. It is
understood that the provisions of this Article 4 are and are intended solely for the purposes of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Debentures, on the one hand, and the holders of such Senior Indebtedness on the other hand.

 Nothing contained in this Article 4 or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Debentures is intended to or shall impair, as
between the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, and the Holders of the Debentures, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the Debentures the
principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Debentures as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holders of the Debentures and creditors
of the Company, as the case may be, other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, as the case may be, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Trustee or the holder of any Debenture from exercising all remedies otherwise
permitted by applicable law upon default under the Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article 4 of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company, as the case may be, received upon
the exercise of any such remedy. 
 Section 4.06. Trustee to Effectuate Subordination. Each Holder of the Debentures
by such Holder’s acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on such Holder’s behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this Article 4 and appoints the Trustee such
Holder’s attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. 
 Section 4.07. Notice by the Company. The Company
shall give prompt written notice to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of any fact known to the Company that would prohibit the making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee in respect of the Debentures pursuant to the provisions of this
Article 4. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 4 or any other provision of the Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment of monies to or by the
Trustee in respect of the Debentures pursuant to the provisions of this Article 4, unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the Company or a holder or holders of Senior Indebtedness or
from any trustee therefor; and before the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Article 4 of this Indenture, shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided that if the
Trustee shall not have received the notice provided for in this Section 4.07 at least two Business Days prior to the date (i) upon which by the terms hereof any money may become payable for

  
 14 

 
any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Debenture), or (ii) moneys and/or U.S. Government Obligations are
deposited in trust pursuant to Article XIII of the Base Indenture then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such money and U.S. Government Obligations and to apply the
same to the purposes 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. 

The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Article VI of the Base Indenture, shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the delivery to it
of a written notice by a Person representing himself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Company (or a trustee or representative on behalf of such holder) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of such Senior Indebtedness
or a trustee or representative on behalf of any such holder or holders. In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of such Senior Indebtedness to
participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 4, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of such Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent
to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article 4, 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. 
 Upon any payment or distribution of
assets of the Company referred to in this Article 4, the Trustee and the Holders of the Debentures shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership,
liquidation, reorganization, dissolution, winding up or similar case or proceeding is pending, or a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, custodian, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other person
making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of the Debentures, for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of Senior Indebtedness and other
indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 4. 

Section 4.08. Rights of the Trustee; Holders of Senior Indebtedness. The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled
to all the rights set forth in this Article 4 in respect of any Senior Indebtedness at any time held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness, and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights
as such holder. 
 With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such
of its covenants and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article 4, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not
be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness and, subject to the provisions of Article VI of the Base Indenture, the Trustee shall not be 

  
 15 

 
liable to any holder of Senior Indebtedness if it shall pay over or deliver to Holders of the Debentures, the Company or any other Person money or assets to which any holder of Senior
Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article 4 or otherwise. 
 Nothing in this Article 4 shall apply to claims of,
or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 6.7 of the Base Indenture. 
 Section 4.09. Subordination
May Not Be Impaired. No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company
or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of the Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof that any such holder may have or otherwise be
charged with. 
 Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, the holders of Senior Indebtedness may,
at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders of the Debentures, without incurring responsibility to the Holders of the Debentures and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in
this Article 4 or the obligations hereunder of the Holders of the Debentures to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, 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, such Senior Indebtedness, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner such Senior Indebtedness or
any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which such Senior Indebtedness is outstanding; 
 (ii)
sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing such Senior Indebtedness; 
 (iii) release any Person liable in any manner for the collection of such Senior Indebtedness; and 
 (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Company and any other Person. 
 Section 4.10. Article Applicable to Paying Agents. In case at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company and then be acting hereunder, the term
“Trustee” as used in this Article 4 shall in such case (unless the context otherwise requires) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meanings as fully and for all intents and purposes as if such Paying
Agent were named in this article in addition to or in place of the Trustee. 
 Section 4.11. Ranking Relative to 2027
Debentures. The Debentures rank equally with and not prior to the Company’s 8.207% Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures Due February 3, 2027.
