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.

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 in
Section 1.4(h)) 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.

institute proceedings referred to in Section 5.7(b) or (iv) any 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. 

  
 - 12 -

 (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 eightieth (180th) day after the applicable record date.

prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event to the address of such Holder as it appears in the Securities Register, not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any), 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 

  
 - 13 -

 
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.

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.

claim under this Indenture.

delayed for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be, until such next succeeding Business Day) except that, if such Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar year, such

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 fixed rate equal to 7.90% per 

  
 - 15 -

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, if any, and
any overdue installment of interest shall bear Additional Interest at a fixed rate equal to 7.90% per annum during the Fixed Rate Period and thereafter at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 5.50% per annum (to the extent that the payment

 The amount of interest payable for any Interest Period 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. 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

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 or automated quotation system on which the Securities may be listed,
traded or quoted and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange or automated quotation system, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

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, payment of principal of, 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, her or its behalf to take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination so provided and (c) appoints the Trustee his, her or its attorney-in-fact for any and
all such purposes. Each Holder hereof, by his, 

  
 - 16 -

 
her or its 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. 
 [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY] 
 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 March 12, 2012 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and Wells Fargo Delaware Trust Company,
National Association, 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 the Securities, the holders of Senior Debt and the holders of the Preferred 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 March 12, 2012 (as modified, amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Trust Agreement”), relating to the GW Capital Trust IV (the “Trust”)
among the Company, as Depositor and the Trustees named therein, shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture or the Trust Agreement, as the case may be. In case of any conflict or inconsistency between (x) the provisions of this
Security and (y) the provisions of the Indenture or the Trust Agreement, the provisions of the Indenture or the Trust Agreement, as the case may be, shall govern and be controlling. 

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 shorter notice period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) on or after July 30, 2012 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, through but excluding the date fixed as the Redemption Date. 
 In addition, prior to
July 30, 2012, 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 and subject to the terms and conditions of Article XI of the Indenture, at a Redemption Price equal to one hundred seven
and one-half percent (107.5%) of the principal amount hereof, together, in the case of any such redemption, with accrued interest, including any Additional Interest, through but excluding the date fixed as the Redemption Date. 

  
 - 17 -

 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, if any, and interest, including any Additional Interest (to the extent legally enforceable), 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 restricted to transfers to the Company and its Affiliates and to “Qualified Purchasers” (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended), and 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 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

 ARTICLE III 
 THE SECURITIES 
 SECTION 3.1. Payment of
Principal and Interest. 
 (a) The unpaid principal amount of the Securities shall bear interest from March 12, 2012, at
a fixed rate equal to 7.90% per annum to but excluding through the Interest Payment Date on July 30, 2012 and thereafter at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 5.50% per annum until paid or duly provided for, such interest to accrue
from and including the Original Issue Date or from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for and any overdue principal, premium, if any, or Additional Tax Sums and any overdue
installment of interest shall bear Additional Interest at a fixed rate equal to 7.90% per annum to but excluding the Interest Payment Date on July 30, 2012 and thereafter at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 5.50% per annum,
compounded quarterly from and including the dates such amounts are due to but excluding the dates such amounts 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 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 

  
 - 23 -

 
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 or automated quotation system on which the
Securities may be listed, traded or quoted and, upon such notice as may be required by such exchange or automated quotation system (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. The amount of interest payable for any Interest Period 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 Securities is the Property
Trustee, the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including any overdue installment of interest and Additional Tax Sums, if any) on the Securities will be made at such place and to such account as may be designated by the Property
Trustee. 
 (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 One Hundred Thousand Dollars
($100,000) and any integral multiple of One Thousand Dollars ($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 Twenty Eight Million Nine Hundred Ninety-Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($28,995,000) 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: (1) 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, and the Indenture constitutes, valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, each enforceable in accordance with its
terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles; (2) the Securities have been
duly authorized and executed by the Company and have been delivered to the Trustee for authentication in accordance with this Indenture; (3) the Securities are not required to be registered under the Securities Act; and (4) the Indenture
is not required to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act. 
 (b) The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company
by its Chairman of the Board, its Vice Chairman of the Board, its Chief Executive Officer, 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 signatories, 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 

  
 - 25 -

 
Company shall have delivered 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. 
 (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 registered
Securities, 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 in this Section 3.4(b), 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. The Trustee may conclusively rely, and be protected in relying, upon the written identification of the owners
of beneficial interests furnished by the Depositary, and shall not be liable for any delay resulting from a delay by the Depositary. 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 Trustee 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 (x) the portion
thereof to be so exchanged or canceled, or (y) 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 Depositary Procedures, shall instruct the Depositary or its authorized representative to make a corresponding adjustment 

  
 - 26 -

 
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, upon receipt of a Company
Order, 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. 
 (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 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 Depositary 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, 

  
 - 27 -

 
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. 

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) Subject to compliance with Section 2.2(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, upon receipt of a Company Order, 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, upon receipt of a Company Order, 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: (i) 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. 

  
 - 28 -

 (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. 
 (i) The Securities may only be transferred to the Company, an
Affiliate of the Company or a “Qualified Purchaser” as such term is defined in Section 2(a)(51) of the Investment Company Act. 
 (j) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Registrar shall be responsible for ascertaining whether any transfer hereunder complies with the registration provisions of or any exemptions from the Securities
Act, applicable state securities laws or the applicable laws of any other jurisdiction, ERISA, the Code or the Investment Company Act; provided, that if a certificate is specifically required by the express terms of this Section 3.5 to be
delivered to the Trustee or the Securities Registrar by a Holder or transferee of a Security, the Trustee and the Securities Registrar shall be under a duty to receive and examine the same to determine whether or not the certificate substantially
conforms on its face to the requirements of this Indenture and shall promptly notify the party delivering the same if such certificate does not comply with such terms. 
 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 the Company and the Trustee harmless, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, upon
receipt of a Company Order, 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 the Trustee (i) evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of
any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by it to save each of the Company and the Trustee harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona
fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and, upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and 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. 

  
 - 29 -

 (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 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 retained or 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. Reserved. 

SECTION 3.10. Reserved. 
 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 any other Trust property) (and payments and proceeds therefrom, respectively) for United

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.

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.

 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:

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;

 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, if any, and Interest; Direct Action by Holders of Preferred

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. 

  
 - 37 -

 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.

(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, 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 or the holders of not less than a
majority in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities then outstanding may waive any past Event of Default hereunder and its consequences except an Event of Default: 

(i) in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest (including any Additional Interest) on any
Outstanding Security (unless such Event of Default has been cured and the Company has paid to or deposited with the Trustee a sum 

  
 - 38 -

 
sufficient to pay all installments of interest (including any Additional Interest) due and past due and all principal of and premium, if any, on all Outstanding 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 Outstanding 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; provided, however, 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 premium, if any, 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, 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 or national banking association 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 Fifty Million
Dollars ($50,000,000), subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and having an office within the United States. If such entity 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 entity 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. 

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 (or, if applicable, from the
holders of at least a majority in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities then outstanding), 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. 
 (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 

  
 - 40 -

 
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 or any holder of Preferred Securities 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 and the holders of Preferred Securities 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 grossly negligent action, grossly 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 grossly 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 (or such other percentage as may be required by the terms hereof) (or, as the case may be,
the holders of a majority in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities then outstanding) 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 in writing 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. 
 (e) If at any time the Trustee hereunder is not the same Person as the Property Trustee under the Trust Agreement: 
 (i) whenever a reference is made herein to the dissolution, termination or liquidation of the Trust, the Trustee shall be entitled to assume that no such dissolution, termination or liquidation has
occurred so long as the Securities are or continue to be registered in the name of such Property Trustee, and the Trustee shall be charged with notice or knowledge of such dissolution, termination or liquidation only upon written notice thereof
given to the Trustee by the Depositor under the Trust Agreement; and 
 (ii) the Trustee shall not be charged
with notice or knowledge that any Person is a holder of Preferred Securities or Common Securities issued by the Trust or whether any group of holders of Preferred Securities constitutes any specified percentage of all outstanding Preferred
Securities for any purpose under this Indenture, unless and until the Trustee is furnished with a list of holders by such Property Trustee and the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities then outstanding. The Trustee may
conclusively rely and shall be protected in relying on such list. 

  
 - 41 -

 (f) Notwithstanding Section 1.10, the Trustee shall not, and shall not be
deemed to, owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of any of the Trust Securities issued by the Trust and shall not be liable to any such holder (other than for the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Trustee) if the Trustee in good faith
(i) pays over or distributes to a registered Holder of the Securities or to the Company or to any other Person, cash, property or securities to which such holders of such Trust Securities shall be entitled or (ii) takes any action or omits
to take any action at the request of the Holder of such Securities. Nothing in this paragraph shall affect the obligation of any other such Person to hold such payment for the benefit of, and to pay such amount over to, such holders of Preferred
Securities or Common Securities or their representatives. 
 SECTION 6.3. Notice of Defaults. 

Within ninety (90) days after the 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 be 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, further, 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, an Event of Default. 
 SECTION 6.4. Certain Rights of Trustee. 
 Subject to the provisions of
Section 6.2: 
 (a) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from
acting in good faith and in accordance with the terms hereof upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note or other paper or document believed by it to be
genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; 
 (b) if (i) in performing its duties under
this Indenture the Trustee is required to decide between alternative courses of action, (ii) in construing any of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee finds ambiguous or inconsistent with any other provisions contained herein or
(iii) the Trustee is unsure of the application of any provision of this Indenture, then, except as to any matter as to which the Holders are entitled to decide under the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee shall deliver a notice to the Company

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.

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 Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a

having a combined capital and surplus of not less than Fifty Million Dollars ($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, that 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. 

  
 - 47 -

 (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

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

  
 - 54 -

 
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. 
 (d) Any money
deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of and any premium or interest (including accrued interest and any Additional Interest) on any Security and remaining unclaimed for two (2) 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 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 twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company
ending after the date hereof, an Officers’ Certificate (substantially in the form of Exhibit B) covering the preceding calendar 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. The delivery requirements of this Section 10.3 may be satisfied by compliance with Section 8.16(a) of the Trust Agreement. 

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 Property 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 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 three (3) month Eurodollar deposits in the

  
 - 55 -

 
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 (the interest payment shall be 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, the Property Trustee (if the Property Trustee is not the Calculation Agent), 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. 
 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 specified in Section 1.1 has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall pay to the Trust (and its permitted successors or assigns under
the 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, any premium 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 
 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, it shall not (i) declare or pay any 

  
 - 56 -

 
dividends or distributions on, including in the form of warrants, options, reimbursements or other rights, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of the
Equity Interests of the Company, or (ii) vote in favor of or permit or otherwise allow any of its Subsidiaries to declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, including in the form of warrants, options, reimbursements or other rights, or
redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to or otherwise retire, any preferred Equity Interests of such Subsidiaries or other Equity Interests entitling the holders thereof to a stated rate of return (for the avoidance of
doubt, whether such preferred Equity Interests are perpetual or otherwise), other than dividends or distributions solely to the Company or its Subsidiaries or (iii) make any payment of principal of or any interest or premium, if any, 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 Equity Interests 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 Equity Interests
purchase plan or in connection with the issuance of Equity Interests in the Company (or securities convertible into or exercisable for such Equity Interests) as consideration in an acquisition transaction entered into prior to the date of the
applicable Event of Default, (B) as a result of an exchange, conversion, reclassification or combination of any class or series of the Company’s Equity Interests (or any Equity Interests in a Subsidiary of the Company) for, of or with any
class or series of the Company’s Equity Interests or of any class or series of the Company’s indebtedness for any class or series of the Company’s Equity Interests, (C) the purchase of fractional interests in the Equity Interests
of the Company pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such Equity Interests or the security being converted or exchanged, (D) any declaration of a dividend in connection with any Rights Plan, the issuance of rights, Equity
Interests or other property under any Rights Plan or the redemption or repurchase of rights pursuant thereto or (E) any dividend in the form of Equity Interests, warrants, options or other rights where the dividend Equity Interest or the Equity
Interest issuable upon exercise of such warrants, options or other rights is the same Equity Interest as that on which the dividend is being paid or ranks pari passu with or junior to such Equity Interest). 

(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 Sections 10.5
and 10.6 if, before or after the time for such compliance, the 

  
 - 57 -

 
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 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 of the Company, and the amounts, other than payments of principal, payable in respect of the principal amount of such Securities as interest, for all
U.S. federal income tax purposes unless otherwise required by law. 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-9
or W-8BEN (or any substitute or successor form) establishing its U.S. or non-U.S. status for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or any other applicable form establishing a complete exemption from U.S. withholding tax unless otherwise required by law.

 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 is 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, premium, if any, 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 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 specified in Section 5.1 (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 

  
 - 61 -

 
Securities and such other obligations before any payment or other distribution, whether in cash, property or otherwise, shall be made on account of any Equity Interests or any obligations of the
Company ranking junior to the Securities and such other obligations. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of any character on 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 of counsel designated by the holders of a majority in aggregate 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.

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, premium,
if any, 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, premium, if any, 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. 

  
 - 62 -

 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. 
 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, her or its acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on his, her or its 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, her or its attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. 

  
 - 63 -

 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. 
 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, herself or itself 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 

  
 - 64 -

 
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 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 forth in this Article XII with respect to any Senior Debt that may at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Debt, and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such
holder.

 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 occurring after the expiration of the Fixed Rate Period (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 (3)-month Eurodollar deposits that
appears on Dow Jones Telerate Page 3750 (as defined in the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. 2000 Interest Rate and Currency Exchange Definitions, as the same may be amended from time to time), or such other page as may replace
such Page 3750 (as any such replacement may be amended from time to time), 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 (3)-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 (3)-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
or adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis set forth above (due to changes arising in the interbank Eurocurrency market or otherwise), then the Securities shall not bear interest in respect of
LIBOR but shall instead bear interest with reference to a floating rate equal to the Base Rate (as defined below). 
 (3) As used herein:
“Reference Banks” means four (4) major banks in the London interbank market selected by the Calculation Agent; “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; the “Base Rate” on any day shall equal the greater of the arithmetic mean of (i) the “prime rate” for dollar denominated loans quoted by leading
banks in the City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent and (ii) the Federal Funds Rate (as defined below) plus 0.50% per annum; and the “Federal Funds Rate” on any day equals the rate per annum equal to the
weighted average (rounded upwards to the nearest 0.000001) of the rate on overnight federal funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System only arranged by federal funds brokers, as published as of such day by the Federal Reserve Bank
of New York.

 4. Representations and Warranties of the Company and the
Trust. The Company and the Trust jointly and severally represent and warrant, as of the Closing Date, to, and agrees with Kodiak, as holder of the Original Preferred Securities and with the Holders of the New Preferred Securities, as
follows: 
 (a) The Company (i) is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of Delaware, (ii) is in good
standing under such laws and (iii) has full power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Operative Documents. 
 (b) The Company is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act. Without characterizing the Original Preferred Securities or any of the Kodiak Transferred Rights as a
“security” within the meaning of applicable securities laws, it is not acquiring the Original Preferred Securities or the Kodiak Transferred Rights with a view towards the sale or distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act.

 (c) The Trust has been duly created and is validly existing in good standing as a statutory trust under the Delaware
Statutory Trust Act, 12 Del. C. § 3801, et seq. (the “Statutory Trust Act”) with all requisite power and authority to own property and to conduct the business it transacts and proposes to transact and to enter into
and perform its obligations under the Operative Documents to which it is a party. The Trust is duly qualified to transact business as a foreign entity and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is necessary, except
where the failure to so qualify or be in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect. The Trust is not a party to or otherwise bound by any agreement other than the Operative Documents. The Trust is and will be, under current law,
classified for federal income tax purposes as a grantor trust and not as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation. 
 (d) The Company (i) has no current intention to initiate any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings and (i) has not entered into the Operative Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or
defraud any creditor. None of the New Preferred Securities, the New Indenture or the Exchange is or may be subject to any Impairment. 
 (e) It (i) is a sophisticated entity with respect to the Exchange, (ii) has sufficient knowledge and experience, and has made investments of a similar nature, so as to be

  
 - 8 -

 
aware of the risks and uncertainties inherent in the Exchange and (iii) has independently and without reliance upon Kodiak, any Holder of the New Preferred Securities, Kodiak CDO Management
LLC or the New Indenture Trustee or any of their affiliates, and based on such information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement, except that it has relied upon Kodiak’s express
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement. Each of the Company and the Trust acknowledges that none of Kodiak, any Holders of the New Preferred Securities, Kodiak CDO Management LLC or the New Indenture Trustee or any
of their affiliates has given it any investment advice, credit information or opinion on whether the Exchange is prudent. 
 (f)
It has not engaged any broker, finder or other entity acting under the authority of it or any of its affiliates that is entitled to any broker’s commission or other fee in connection with the transaction for which Kodiak, any Holder, New
Indenture Trustee or any of their affiliates could be responsible. 
 (g) No interest in the Kodiak Transferred Rights is being
acquired by or on behalf of an entity that is, or at any time while the Kodiak Transferred Rights are held thereby will be, one or more Benefit Plans. 
 (h) Neither the Company nor the Trust, nor any of their “Affiliates” (as defined in Rule 501(b) of Regulation D (“Regulation D”) under the Securities Act), nor any person
acting on its or their behalf, has, directly or indirectly, made offers or sales of any security, or solicited offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would require the registration of the New Preferred Securities under the Securities
Act. 
 (i) Neither the Company nor the Trust, nor any of their Affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has
engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D) in connection with any offer or sale of the New Preferred Securities. 
 (j) The New Preferred Securities (i) are not and have not been listed on a national securities exchange registered under Section 6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”), or quoted on a U.S. automated inter-dealer quotation system and (ii) are not of an open-end investment company, unit investment trust or face-amount certificate company that is, or is required to be, registered
under Section 8 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), and the New Preferred Securities otherwise satisfies the eligibility requirements of Rule 144A(d)(3) promulgated pursuant to
the Securities Act (“Rule 144A(d)(3)”). 
 (k) Neither the Company nor the Trust, nor any of their
Affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged, or will engage, in any “directed selling efforts” within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act with respect to the New Preferred Securities.

 - 9 -

 (m) Each of this Agreement and the New Indenture and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated herein and therein have been duly authorized by the Company and the Trust and, on the Closing Date, will have been duly executed and delivered by the Company and the Trust, and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by
Kodiak and/or the New Indenture Trustee, as applicable, will be a legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except that the enforcement thereof is subject to applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity and the discretion of the court before which any
proceeding to enforce the Agreement and/or the New Indenture may be brought (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) including, without limitation, principles that (a) include a requirement that
a creditor act with reasonableness and in good faith and deal fairly with its debtors, (b) limit a creditor’s right to accelerate maturity of a debt upon the occurrence of a default deemed immaterial, or (c) might render certain
waivers unenforceable (including, without limitation, the remedy of specific performance or injunctive relief); and (d) federal and state securities laws and the public policies underlying such laws (collectively, the “Enforceability
Exceptions”). 
 (n) The New Preferred Securities have been duly authorized by the Trust and, when issued and delivered
to the Holder named therein on the Closing Date and, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and will represent undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust entitled to the benefits of the 2012 Trust Agreement. The issuance
of the New Preferred Securities is not subject to any preemptive or other similar rights. The Common Securities have been duly authorized by the Trust and will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and will represent undivided beneficial
interests in the assets of the Trust entitled to the benefits of the 2012 Trust Agreement. On the Closing Date, all of the issued and outstanding Common Securities will be directly owned by the Company free and clear of any Lien. 

(o) Neither the issue of the New Preferred Securities and exchange of the New Preferred Securities for the Original Preferred Securities,
nor the execution and delivery of and compliance with the Operative Documents by the Company or the Trust, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein or therein, (i) will conflict with or constitute a violation or breach of
(x) the 2012 Trust Agreement or the charter or bylaws or similar organizational documents of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company or (y) any applicable law, statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ or decree of
any government, governmental authority, agency or instrumentality or court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Trust or the Company or any of their Significant Subsidiaries or their respective properties or assets (collectively, the
“Governmental Entities”) (excluding any anti-fraud laws) (ii) will conflict with or constitute a violation or breach of, or a default or Repayment Event (as defined below) under, or result in the creation or imposition of any
pledge, security interest, claim, lien or other encumbrance of any kind (each, a “Lien”) upon any property or assets of the Company, the Trust or any of their Significant Subsidiaries pursuant to any contract, indenture, mortgage,
loan agreement, note, lease or other agreement or instrument to which (A) the Company, the 

  
 - 10 -

 
Trust or any of their Significant Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of them may be bound, or (B) to which any of the property or assets of any of them is subject, or any
judgment, order or decree of any court, Governmental Entity or arbitrator, except, in the case of clause (i)(y) or this clause (ii), for such conflicts, breaches, violations, defaults, Repayment Events or Liens which (X) would not, singly or in
the aggregate, be reasonably expected to adversely affect the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents and (Y) would not, singly or in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or
(iii) will require the consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or Governmental Entity. As used herein, a “Repayment Event” means any event or condition which gives the holder of any note, debenture or other
evidence of indebtedness (or any person acting on such holder’s behalf) the right to require the repurchase, redemption or repayment of all or a portion of such indebtedness by the Company, the Trust or any of their Significant Subsidiaries
prior to its scheduled maturity. 
 (p) The Company has all requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its
properties and assets and conduct the business it transacts and proposes to transact, and is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the nature of its activities requires such qualification, except
where the failure of the Company to be so qualified would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(q) The 2012 Trust Agreement has been duly authorized by the Company and, on the Closing Date specified in Section 2(b) hereof, will
have been duly executed and delivered by the Company and the Administrative Trustees of the Trust, and assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the 2012 Property Trustee and the 2012 Delaware Trustee, will be a legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Company and the Administrative Trustees, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to Enforceability Exceptions. Each of the Administrative Trustees of the Trust is an employee of the Company and has been duly
authorized by the Company to execute and deliver the 2012 Trust Agreement and other documents and agreements related to the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 (r) Intentionally omitted. 
 (s) The Junior Subordinated Notes have been duly
authorized by the Company and, on the Closing Date, will have been duly executed and delivered to the New Indenture Trustee for authentication in accordance with the Indenture and, when authenticated in the manner provided for in the New Indenture
and delivered to the Trust in accordance with the Junior Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and between the Company and the Trust (the “Junior Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement”), will
constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits of the Indenture, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject to Enforceability Exceptions. 

(t) Neither the Company nor any of its Significant Subsidiaries is (i) in violation of its respective charter or by-laws or similar
organizational documents or (ii) in default in the performance or observance of any obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained in any contract, indenture, mortgage, loan agreement, note, lease or other agreement or instrument to
which the Company or any such Significant Subsidiary is a party or by which it or 

  
 - 11 -

 
any of them may be bound or to which any of the property or assets of any of them is subject, except, in the case of clause (ii), where such violation or default would not, singly or in the
aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (u) There is no action, suit or proceeding before or by any Governmental Entity,
arbitrator or court, domestic or foreign, now pending or, to the knowledge of the Company after due inquiry, threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, except for such actions, suits or proceedings that, if
would not, singly or in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to adversely affect the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents or have a Material Adverse Effect; and the aggregate of all pending legal or governmental
proceedings to which the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries is a party or of which any of their respective properties or assets is subject, including ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, are not reasonably expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (v) Intentionally omitted. 

(w) Intentionally omitted. 
 (x) Intentionally omitted. 
 (y) Since the date of the latest Annual Report, there
has not been (A) any Material Adverse Change or (B) any dividend or distribution of any kind declared, paid or made by the Company on any class of its Equity Interests. 

(z) The documents of the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with the Exchange Act, from and
including the commencement of the fiscal year covered by the Company’s most recent Annual Report, at the time they were or hereafter are filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively, the “1934 Act
Reports”), complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder (the “1934 Act Regulations”),
and, as of the date of the Company’s most recent Annual Report do not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 
 (aa) Intentionally omitted. 

(bb) No filing with, or authorization, approval, consent, license, order, registration, qualification or decree of, any Governmental
Entity, other than those that have been made or obtained, is necessary or required for the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Operative Documents or the consummation by the Trust and the Company of the transactions contemplated
by the Operative Documents. 
 (cc) Intentionally omitted. 

(dd) Intentionally omitted. 

  
 13

Company for United States federal income Tax purposes and there are no rulemaking or similar proceedings before the United States Internal Revenue Service or comparable federal, state, local or foreign government bodies which involve or affect the
Company or any Significant Subsidiary, which, if the subject of an action unfavorable to the Company or any Significant Subsidiary, could result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (ff) Intentionally omitted. 
 (gg) Intentionally omitted. 

(hh) Intentionally omitted. 
 (ii) The information provided by the Company and the Trust pursuant to the Operative Documents does not, as of the date hereof, and will not as of the Closing Date, contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 
 5. Representations and Warranties of Kodiak. Kodiak, for itself, represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Company and the Trust as follows: 

(a) It is a company duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized with
all requisite (i) power and authority to execute, deliver and perform under the Operative Documents to which it is a party, to make the representations and warranties specified herein and therein and to consummate the transactions contemplated
in the Operative Documents. 
 (b) This Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein has been duly
authorized by it and, on the Closing Date, will have been duly executed and delivered by it and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company and the New Indenture Trustee of the Operative Documents to which each is a party,
will be a legal, valid and binding obligation of Kodiak, enforceable against Kodiak in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of
equity. 
 (c) No filing with, or authorization, approval, consent, license, order registration, qualification or decree of, any
Governmental Entity or any other Person, other than those that have been made or obtained, is necessary or required for the performance by Kodiak of its obligations under this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated herein.

 (d) It is a “Qualified Purchaser” as such term is defined in Section 2(a)(51) of the Investment Company Act.

 (e) Kodiak is the legal and beneficial owner of the Original Preferred Securities and the related Kodiak Transferred Rights
and shall deliver the Original Preferred Securities free and clear of any Lien created by Kodiak. 

  
 - 13 -

 (f) There is no action, suit or proceeding before or by any Governmental Entity, arbitrator
or court, domestic or foreign, now pending or, to its knowledge, threatened against or affecting it, except for such actions, suits or proceedings that, if adversely determined, would not, singly or in the aggregate, adversely affect the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents. 
 (g) The outstanding principal amount of the
Original Preferred Securities is the face amount as set forth in such Original Preferred Securities. 
 (h) It is aware that the
New Preferred Securities have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to “U.S. persons” (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act) except in
accordance with Rule 903 of Regulation S under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. 
 (i) It is an “accredited investor,” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act. Without characterizing the New Preferred Securities as a
“security” within the meaning of applicable securities laws, it has not made any offers to sell, or solicitations of any offers to buy, all or any portion of the New Preferred Securities in violation of any applicable securities laws.

 (j) Neither it nor any of its Affiliates, nor any person acting on its or its Affiliate’s behalf has engaged, or will
engage, any form of “general solicitation or general advertising” (within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act) in connection with any offer or sale of the New Preferred Securities. 

(k) It understands and acknowledges that (i) no public market exists for the New Preferred Securities and that it is unlikely that a
public market will ever exist for the New Preferred Securities, (ii) it is acquiring the New Preferred Securities for its own account, for investment and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in
violation of the Securities Act or other applicable securities laws, subject to any requirement of law that the disposition of its property be at all times within its control and subject to its ability to resell such New Preferred Securities
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption therefrom or in a transaction not subject thereto, and it agrees to the legends and transfer restrictions applicable to the New Preferred Securities
contained in the 2012 Trust Agreement, and (iii) it has had the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers and request additional information from, the Company and is aware that it may be required to bear the economic risk of an
investment in the New Preferred Securities. 
 (l) It has not engaged any broker, finder or other entity acting under its
authority that is entitled to any broker’s commission or other fee in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of transactions contemplated in this Agreement and the New Indenture for which the Company could be responsible.

 (m) It (i) is a sophisticated entity with respect to the Exchange, (ii) has such knowledge and experience, and has
made investments of a similar nature, so as to be aware of 

  
 - 14 -

 
the risks and uncertainties inherent in the Exchange and (iii) has independently and without reliance upon the Company or any of their affiliates, and based on such information as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement, except that it has relied upon the Company’s express representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in the Operative Documents and the other documents
delivered by the Company in connection therewith. 
 (n) Neither the execution and delivery of and compliance with the Operative
Documents by Kodiak to which it is a party, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein or therein, (i) will conflict with or constitute a violation or breach of (x) the charter or bylaws or similar organizational
documents of Kodiak or (y) any applicable law, statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ or decree of any Governmental Entity having jurisdiction over Kodiak or its properties or assets or (ii) will require the consent, approval,
authorization or order of any court or Governmental Entity. 
 Except as expressly stated in this Agreement, Kodiak makes no
representations or warranties, express or implied, with respect to the Exchange, the Kodiak Transferred Rights, the Original Preferred Securities, the Existing Indenture, the New Preferred Securities or any other matter. 

6. Covenants and Agreements of the Company and the Trust. The Company and the Trust jointly and severally agree with Kodiak
and the Holders as follows: 
 (a) The Company and the Trust will arrange for the qualification of the New Preferred Securities
for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Holders of the New Preferred Securities may designate and will maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the sale of the New Preferred Securities. The Company or the Trust, as
the case may be, will promptly advise the Holders of the New Preferred Securities of the receipt by the Company or the Trust, as the case may be, of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the New Preferred Securities
for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. 
 (b) Neither the Company nor
the Trust will, nor will either of them permit any of their Affiliates or any person acting on its or their behalf to, directly or indirectly, make offers or sales of any security, or solicit offers to buy any security, under circumstances that
would require the registration of the New Preferred Securities under the Securities Act. 
 (c) Neither the Company nor the
Trust will, nor will either of them permit any of their Affiliates or any person acting on its or their behalf to, engage in (i) any form of “general solicitation or general advertising” (within the meaning of Regulation D), or
(ii) any “directed selling efforts” within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act, in connection with any offer or sale of the New Preferred Securities. 

(d) So long as the New Preferred Securities are outstanding, (i) the New Preferred Securities shall not be listed on a national
securities exchange registered under Section 6 of the Exchange Act or quoted in a U.S. automated inter-dealer quotation system and (ii) the Company shall not be an open-end investment company, unit investment trust or
face-

  
 - 15 -

 
amount certificate company that is, or is required to be, registered under Section 8 of the Investment Company Act, and, the New Preferred Securities shall otherwise satisfy the eligibility
requirements of Rule 144A(d)(3). 
 (e) So long as the New Preferred Securities are outstanding, each of the Company and
the Trust shall furnish to (i) the Holders of the New Preferred Securities, (ii) Kodiak CDO Management LLC and (iii) any beneficial owner of the New Preferred Securities reasonably identified to the Company, a duly completed and
executed certificate in the form attached hereto as Annex D, including the financial statements referenced in such Annex, which certificate and financial statements shall be so furnished by the Company and the Trust not later than
forty-five (45) days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year of the Company and not later than ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company. 

(f) Each of the Company and the Trust will, during any period in which it is not subject to and in compliance with Section 13 or
15(d) of the Exchange Act, or it is not exempt from such reporting requirements pursuant to and in compliance with Rule 12g3-2(b) under the Exchange Act, provide to each Holder of the New Preferred Securities, upon the request of such Holder,
any information required to be provided by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. If the Company and the Trust are required to register under the Exchange Act, such reports filed in compliance with Rule 12g3-2(b) shall be sufficient
information as required above. This covenant is intended to be for the benefit of the Holders of the New Preferred Securities and shall be effective so long as the New Preferred Securities are outstanding. 

(g) Neither the Company nor the Trust will, until one hundred eighty (180) days following the Closing Date, without the
Holders’ or their assignees’ prior written consent in their sole discretion, offer, sell, contract to sell, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, (i) any New Preferred Securities or other
securities substantially similar to the New Preferred Securities other than as expressly contemplated by the 2012 Trust Agreement, if at all, or (ii) any other securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, the New Preferred
Securities or other securities substantially similar to the New Preferred Securities or (ii) any preferred securities. 

(h) Neither the Company nor the Trust will identify any of the Indemnified Parties (as defined below) in a press release or any other
public statement without the prior written consent of such Indemnified Party, provided, that each Indemnified Party hereby consents to the filing of a disclosure on Form 8-K on the Closing Date which identifies some or all of the Indemnified
Parties. 
 7. Payment of Expenses. In addition to the obligations agreed to by the Company under
Section 2(b)(vii) herein, the Company agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incident to the performance of the obligations of the Company and the Trust under this Agreement, whether or not the transactions contemplated herein
are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, including all costs and expenses incident to (i) the authorization and issuance of the Securities and any taxes payable in connection therewith; (ii) the fees and expenses of counsel,
accountants and any other experts or advisors retained by the Company or the Trust and (iv) the fees and all reasonable expenses of the 2007 Property Trustee, the 2012 

  
 - 16 -

 
Property Trustee, the 2007 Delaware Trustee, the 2012 Delaware Trustee, New Indenture Trustee, the Existing Indenture Trustee and any other trustee or paying agent appointed under the Operative
Documents, including the fees and disbursements of counsel for such trustees. The fees of the New Indenture Trustee (excluding fees and disbursements of counsel) shall not exceed the amounts set forth in that certain Fee Agreement dated as of the
date hereof between the Company and the New Indenture Trustee, executed in connection with this Agreement and the New Indenture. In addition to the forgoing the Company shall also pay the fees and all costs and expenses, including, without
limitation, attorneys’ fees, incurred by Kodiak, the CDO Trustee, and Kodiak CDO Management LLC in connection with the transactions contemplated herein and in the New Indenture, whether or not the transactions contemplated herein are
consummated or this Agreement is terminated. 
 8. Indemnification. (a) The Sellers agree, jointly and
severally, to indemnify and hold harmless Wells Fargo, the Holders, Kodiak, Kodiak CDO Management LLC, and their respective affiliates and their successors and assigns (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), each person, if any,
who controls any of the Indemnified Parties within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and the Indemnified Parties’ respective directors, officers, employees and agents against any and all losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, joint or several, to which the Indemnified Parties may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages
or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based on (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any information or documents provided by or on behalf of the Company and/or the
Trust to the Indemnified Parties, (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated or necessary to make the statements contained in any information provided by the Company and/or the Trust to the Indemnified
Parties, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (iii) the breach or alleged breach of any representation, warranty, or agreement of the Company and/or the Trust contained herein, and agrees to reimburse
each such Indemnified Party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Parties in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. This indemnity agreement will
be in addition to any liability that the Sellers may otherwise have. 
 (b) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party under
this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of
the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve the indemnifying party from liability under paragraph (a) above unless and to the extent that such failure results in the forfeiture by the
indemnifying party of material rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any Indemnified Party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) above. The
Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to appoint counsel to represent the Indemnified Parties in any action for which indemnification is sought and to primarily direct the defense of any such action. An indemnifying party may participate at its own
expense in the defense of any such action; provided, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the Indemnified Party) also be counsel to the Indemnified Party. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be
liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in 

  
 - 17 -

 
addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all Indemnified Parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction
arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, unless an Indemnified Party elects to engage separate counsel because such Indemnified Party reasonably believes that a conflict of interest might result. An indemnifying party will not,
without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought
hereunder (whether or not the Indemnified Parties are actual or potential parties to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liability
arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding. 
 9. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The
respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company and the Trust and/or its trustees or officers set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will survive
the Exchange. The provisions of Sections 7 and 8 shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement. 
 10.
Amendments. This Agreement may not be modified, amended, altered or supplemented, except upon the execution and delivery of a written agreement by each of the parties hereto. 

11. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and effective only on receipt, and will be mailed, delivered
by hand or courier or sent by facsimile and confirmed or by any other reasonable means of communication, including by electronic mail, to the relevant party at its address specified in Exhibit A. 

12. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their
respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person other than the parties hereto and the affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and
controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof and their successors, assigns, heirs and legal representatives, any right or obligation hereunder. None of the rights or obligations of the Company or the Trust under this Agreement may
be assigned, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without Kodiak’s prior written consent. The rights and obligations of Kodiak under this Agreement may be assigned by Kodiak without the Company’s or the Trust’s consent; provided,
that the assignee assumes the obligations of Kodiak under this Agreement. 
 13. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT
WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REFERENCE TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW). 

14. Submission to Jurisdiction. ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO OR WITH RESPECT TO OR ARISING
OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN OR REMOVED TO THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, OR OF THE 

  
 - 18 -

 
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK (IN EACH CASE SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN). BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY ACCEPTS, FOR ITSELF AND
IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS (AND COURTS OF APPEALS THEREFROM) FOR LEGAL PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. 

15. Counterparts and Facsimile. This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties hereto in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties hereto by facsimile.

prior written or oral and all contemporaneous oral agreements, understandings and negotiations with respect to the subject matter hereof.
