 REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT 

THIS REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of July 18, 2013 by and between TRI POINTE
HOMES, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), and U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, d/b/a Housing Capital Company (“Lender”). 
 WHEREAS, the parties hereto are entering into this Agreement to, among other things, make available to Borrower a secured revolving credit facility all on the terms and conditions contained herein.

 NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I 
 DEFINITIONS 
 Section 1.1 Definitions. 

In addition to terms defined elsewhere herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings for the purposes of this Agreement:

 “Account” shall mean a deposit account maintained by Borrower with California Bank & Trust
as designated by Borrower to Lender in writing into which Advances shall be deposited, or such replacement account as Borrower may designate to Lender in writing from time to time. 

“Actual Cost” means (a) the Home Cost for Sold Homes, Models and Spec Homes, and (b) the Lot Cost for
Finished Lots, Lots Under Development and Entitled Land. 
 “Advance” means an advance
made by Lender to Borrower pursuant to Section 2.1(a). 
 “Affiliate” means as to any
Person: (a) any other Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with such Person; (b) any other Person directly or indirectly owning or holding ten percent (10%) or more of any Equity Interest
in such Person; or (c) any other Person where ten percent (10%) or more of such other Person’s voting stock or other Equity Interest is directly or indirectly owned or held by such Person. For purposes of this definition,
“control” (including with correlative meanings, the terms “controlling”, “controlled by” and “under common control with”) means the possession directly or indirectly of the power to direct or
cause the direction of the management and policies of a Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities or by contract or otherwise. In no event shall Lender be deemed to be an Affiliate of Borrower. 

“Aggregate Borrowing Base Value” means an amount equal to the sum of the Borrowing Base Values for all Borrowing
Base Properties; provided, however, that the Aggregate Borrowing Base Value shall be adjusted as follows: 
 (a)
no amount shall be contributed to the Aggregate Borrowing Base Value by Unentitled Land; and 

  
 1 

 (b) (i) during the initial twelve (12) month period after the Effective Date, the
aggregate amount contributed to the Aggregate Borrowing Base Value by Entitled Land, Lots Under Development and Finished Lots shall not at any time exceed sixty percent (60%) of the aggregate Borrowing Base Values for all Borrowing Base
Properties, and (ii) from and after the end of the initial twelve (12) month period after the Effective Date, the aggregate amount contributed to the Aggregate Borrowing Base Value by Entitled Land, Lots Under Development and Finished Lots
shall not at any time exceed fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate Borrowing Base Values for all Borrowing Base Properties; and 
 (c) to the extent the aggregate number of Spec Homes in any Project (except a Condominium Project) exceeds the Maximum Spec Home Limit for such Project, then any Borrowing Base Value attributable to such
excess shall be excluded from the Aggregate Borrowing Base Value; and 
 (d) to the extent the aggregate number of Spec Homes in
any Condominium Project, exceeds the Maximum Condominium Spec Home Limit applicable to such Condominium Project, then any Borrowing Base Value attributable to such excess shall be excluded from the Aggregate Borrowing Base Value; and 

(e) to the extent the aggregate number of Spec Homes and Sold Homes in any Project (except a Condominium Project) exceeds the Maximum
Total Home Limit for such Project, then any Borrowing Base Value attributable to such excess shall be excluded from the Aggregate Borrowing Base Value; and 
 (f) to the extent the aggregate number of Spec Homes and Sold Homes in any Condominium Project, exceeds the Maximum Total Condominium Home Limit applicable to such Condominium Project, then any Borrowing
Base Value attributable to such excess shall be excluded from the Aggregate Borrowing Base Value. 
 For the avoidance of doubt,
if there are, for example, twenty (20) Spec Homes in a Project (which is not a Condominium Project) and the Maximum Spec Home Limit applicable to such Project is ten (10), then to be in compliance with subsection (c) above, only ten
(10) of such Spec Homes shall be included in the Aggregate Borrowing Base Value. The same concept applies to subsections (d), (e) and (f), respectively. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, if there are Spec Homes and/or Sold Homes in excess of the limitations set forth in subsections (c), (d), (e) and (f) above (the “Excess
Homes”), for purposes of this definition of Aggregate Borrowing Base Value only, such Excess Homes shall be deemed re-classified as Finished Lots. Therefore, subject to the limitations set forth in subsection (b) above, the value
of such Excess Homes shall not be eliminated entirely from the Aggregate Borrowing Base Value but rather the Borrowing Base Value attributable to such Excess Homes shall be calculated as if such Excess Homes were classified as Finished Lots. 

 The exclusion from time to time of any Borrowing Base Value from the calculation of Aggregate Borrowing Base Value
pursuant to any subsection above shall not mean that the subject Borrowing Base Property (or any portion thereof) shall be excluded from the Collateral. 
 “Agreement Date” means the date as of which this Agreement is dated. 

  
 2 

 “Applicable Law” means all applicable provisions of constitutions,
statutes, rules, regulations, orders and decrees of all Governmental Authorities. 
 “Applicable
Rate” means, on any day of determination, a per annum rate equal to the sum of the Base Rate then in effect, plus the then applicable margin, as determined by Lender by reference to the chart below: 

 

			
	Leverage Ratio	  	Applicable Margin
	£ 0.5:1.0	  	250 basis points
	> 0.5:1.0, but £ 1.0:1.0	  	275 basis points
	> 1.0:1.0, but £ 1.25:1.0	  	325 basis points
	> 1.25:1.0	  	370 basis points

 “Appraisal” means, with respect to any Project, an M.A.I. appraisal commissioned
by and addressed to Lender (acceptable to Lender as to form, substance and appraisal date), prepared by a professional appraiser acceptable to Lender, having at least the minimum qualifications required under Applicable Law governing Lender,
including without limitation, FIRREA, and determining market value as follows: 
  

			
	Eligible Property Type	  	Appraisal Basis
	Sold Homes	  	aggregate retail value
	Spec Homes	  	aggregate retail value
	Models	  	aggregate retail value
	Finished Lots	  	finished bulk value
	Lots Under Development	  	finished bulk value
	Entitled Land	  	finished bulk value

 “Appraised Value” means, with respect to any Project, the applicable as completed
market value of such Project as reflected in the most recent Appraisal of such Project; provided, however, Lender shall have the right to review such Appraisal for errors and request revisions to such Appraisal to correct such errors, which review
shall be conducted prior to acceptance of such Appraisal by Lender. 
 “Authorized
Signatories” means, collectively, all of the authorized agents listed on Schedule 1.1(a) or such additional authorized agents as Borrower shall designate in writing to Lender.  

“Base Rate” means the one-month LIBOR rate quoted by USB from Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page, or any successor
thereto, which shall be that one-month LIBOR rate in effect and reset each Business Day, adjusted for any reserve requirement and any subsequent costs 

  
 3 

 
arising from a change in government regulation, such rate rounded up to the nearest one-sixteenth percent. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if on any date for determining the
one-month LIBOR rate, Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error) that (a) because of circumstances affecting the Money Markets, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the
one-month LIBOR rate, or (b) it is unlawful to maintain any advance of the Loan at a rate based on the one-month LIBOR rate, Lender shall promptly give to Borrower telephonic notice (confirmed as soon as practicable in writing) of the nature
and effect of such circumstances and/or illegality. After receipt of such notice and during the existence of such circumstances and/or illegality, the interest rate applicable to the outstanding principal balance shall be determined based upon
an alternate index selected by Lender, in its sole discretion, reasonably comparable to that of one-month LIBOR, intended to generate a return substantially the same as that generated by the one-month LIBOR rate, and all references in the Loan
Documents to the Base Rate shall be deemed to be references to such alternate index while such rate is in effect. Lender’s internal records of applicable interest rates shall be determinative in the absence of manifest error. Each change
in the Base Rate shall become effective without prior notice to Borrower automatically as of the opening of business on the date of such change in the Base Rate. 
 “Bonding Obligations” means the potential monetary liability of a Person with respect to completion bonds, letters of credit or other similar instruments that are required by
insurance companies that issue completion bonds, cities, counties, the California Department of Real Estate, sellers of Land or other Governmental Authorities in connection with the development of Land, the creation of residential communities and
the construction of subdivisions of Homes, the terms of which shall be normal and customary for similar developments. 
 “Borrower” has the meaning set forth in the introductory paragraph hereof and shall include Borrower’s successors and permitted assigns. 

“Borrowing Base” means, at any time, all Borrowing Base Properties. 

“Borrowing Base Property” means each Eligible Property, and “Borrowing Base Properties”
means all Eligible Properties included in calculations of the Aggregate Borrowing Base Value pursuant to Section 4.1, which as of the Effective Date shall include all Projects listed on Schedule 4.1(a). A Project shall cease to be
a Borrowing Base Property if (a) at any time such Project shall cease to be an Eligible Property, or (b) Lender shall cease to hold a valid and perfected first priority Lien in such Project; provided, however, that Lender shall only be
obligated to reconvey the lien encumbering any such Project in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.1, Section 4.2, Section 4.3, or Section 4.4. 

“Borrowing Base Report” means a report prepared from time to time by Borrower in accordance with the provisions
of this Agreement which details (a) the then Borrowing Base Properties, (b) the Appraised Value and Borrowing Base Value for each such Borrowing Base Property, (c) the Aggregate Borrowing Base Value, and (d) the then Maximum
Availability, all in the form as set forth on Exhibit C hereto, which report is certified by Borrower as being accurate and complete pursuant to a certificate in the form attached on Exhibit C hereto. 

  
 4 

 “Borrowing Base Value” means, for each Eligible Property, the least
of the following amounts based upon the applicable Eligible Property type: 
  

													
	 Eligible Property Type
	  	Borrowing Base Value
(the Lesser of in
$$)	 
	 	  	Appraised Value1	 	 	Actual Costs	 	 	Costs as set forth
in Project Budget	 
	 Sold Homes
	  	 	80	% 	 	 	90	% 	 	 	90	% 
	 Spec Homes
	  	 	75	% 	 	 	90	% 	 	 	90	% 
	 Models
	  	 	80	% 	 	 	90	% 	 	 	90	% 
	 Finished Lots

	 Lots Under Development
	  	 	70	% 	 	 	80	% 	 	 	80	% 
	 Entitled Land

	 Unentitled Land
	  	 	0	% 	 	 	0	% 	 	 	0	% 

 An Eligible Property shall be deemed moved from one Eligible Property type to another Eligible Property
type upon Lender’s receipt of a Borrowing Base Report which identifies such re-classification from one Eligible Property type to another Eligible Property type; provided, however, if, at any time after such re-classification, Lender, in its
reasonable discretion, determines that such Eligible Property should not have been re-classified from one Eligible Property type to another Eligible Property type, Lender may, in its reasonable discretion, reclassify such Eligible Property to its
former Eligible Property type in which case Borrower shall immediately comply with the provisions of Section 2.4(b)(ii), if applicable. No Finished Lot shall be reclassified as a Sold Home if the anticipated delivery date of such Home is
after the Maturity Date. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (a) the Borrowing Base Value of each
Finished Lot shall be automatically reduced by Ten Percent (10%) on the date that is eighteen (18) months after such Finished Lot was first included in the calculation of the Borrowing Base as a Finished Lot, (b) the Borrowing Base
Value of each Spec Home and each Sold Home shall be automatically reduced by Ten Percent (10%) on the date that is twelve (12) months after such Spec Home or Sold Home was first included in the calculation of the Borrowing Base (whether as
a Spec Home or a Sold Home), (c) the Borrowing Base Value of each Model Home shall be automatically reduced by Ten Percent (10%) on the date that is twenty-four (24) months after such Model Home was first included in the calculation
of the Borrowing Base, and (d) to the extent Borrower commences vertical construction of any Home on a Lot within ninety (90) days prior to the then existing Maturity Date, there shall be no increase in the Borrowing Base Value to the
applicable Lot (or any re-classification thereof as a Sold Home, Spec Home or Model, as the case may be, for purposes of the calculation of the Borrowing Base) unless and until the Maturity Date is extended in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the Loan Documents. 
  
  

	1 	In the case of Sold Homes, Spec Homes, Models and Lots Under Development, there shall be deducted from the Appraised Value the development costs, if any, necessary to
complete the same. Also, notwithstanding the chart above, the Borrowing Base Value for each Sold Home, Spec Home and Model in a Condominium Project shall not exceed $999,000, and the Borrowing Base Value for each Sold Home, Spec Home and Model in a
Project which is not a Condominium Project shall not exceed $1,500,000. 

	2 	No construction costs shall be included in the calculation of Actual Costs. 

  
 5

Mitchell shall cease, for any reason whatsoever, to be responsible for the day to day operations of Borrower, and (b) one or more replacement executives reasonably acceptable to Lender fail to assume responsibility for the day to day operations
of Borrower within thirty (30) days after the last of Douglas F. Bauer, Michael D. Grubbs and Thomas J. Mitchell cease being responsible for such day to day operations. 

“Closing” means, with respect to the sale of any Home or Lot, when title to the applicable Home or Lot passes to
a third-party purchaser and Borrower receives full payment in cash of the Net Sales Proceeds.  

“Collateral” means any real or personal property directly or indirectly securing any of the Obligations or any
other obligation of a Person under or in respect of any Loan Document to which it is a party, pursuant to a Security Document. 
 “Commitment Amount” means One Hundred Twenty Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($125,000,000.00), as such amount may be reduced from time to time pursuant to Section
2.8. 
 “Completion” means, for each Home in the Borrowing Base and for each Lot Under
Development, that all lot development improvements on such Lot Under Development and construction on such Home in the Borrowing Base has been completed, as reasonably approved by Lender, and paid for in full, free of all mechanics’ liens and

 ARTICLE II 
 CREDIT FACILITY 
 Section 2.1 Revolving Advances.

 (a) Revolving Advances Generally. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, during the period from the Effective
Date to but excluding the Maturity Date, Lender agrees to make Advances to Borrower in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to, but not to exceed, the Maximum Availability. Lender shall have no obligations to make any Advance
to the extent that after the making of such Advance, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Advances would exceed the Maximum Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow
Advances hereunder. 
 (b) Requesting Advances. With respect to each Advance hereunder, Borrower shall give Lender notice
pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing of each borrowing of Advances. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be delivered to Lender before 12:00 p.m. on the date three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of such borrowing. Each Notice of Borrowing
shall be irrevocable once given and binding on Borrower. Unless otherwise approved by Lender in its sole discretion in each instance, Borrower may only submit one Notice of Borrowing in any calendar week. 

(c) Disbursements of Loan Proceeds. 
 (i) Lender shall disburse Loan proceeds pursuant to the Notices of Borrowing received by Lender. If Lender determines that the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.2 for such Advance
are satisfied, Lender will make the proceeds of such Advance available to Borrower no later than 12:00 p.m. on the date and at the account specified by Borrower in such Notice of Borrowing. Unless directed otherwise by Borrower, Lender shall
directly deposit proceeds of each Advance directly into Borrower’s Account. 
 (ii) Disbursements of the
Loan with respect to each Project shall be made on a percentage of completion basis in accordance with the final approved Project Budget for such Project (i.e., if the work on such Project is 25% complete, then up to 25% of the costs set forth in
the Project Budget for such Project shall be included in the calculation of the Borrowing Base Value for such Project), all as determined by Lender based on periodic inspections of such Project. In no event shall Lender have any obligation to
include any Project costs in the Borrowing Base Value of a Project in excess of the then current percentage of completion of the work on such Project, as determined by Lender based on periodic inspections of such Project. Each Notice of Borrowing
shall be accompanied (if required by Lender) by invoices and lien releases satisfactory to Lender, including partial lien releases executed by each contractor and subcontractor who has received any payment for work performed, a detailed disbursement
schedule for each Project, and all other documents and information reasonably required by Lender. 

  
 21 

 Section 2.2 Rates and Payment of Interest; Late Fees; Post-Default
Rate. 
 (a) Rates. Borrower promises to pay to Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance made
by Lender for the period from and including the date of the making of such Advance to but excluding the date such Advance shall be paid in full, at the Applicable Rate (as in effect from time to time). Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the
continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall pay to Lender interest at the Post-Default Rate on the outstanding principal amount of any Advance made by Lender and on any other amount payable by Borrower hereunder or under the Note to or for
the account of Lender (including without limitation, accrued but unpaid interest to the extent permitted under Applicable Law). 

(b) Payment of Interest. All accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal amount of each Advance shall be payable
(i) monthly in arrears beginning on September 1, 2013, and on the same date of each consecutive month thereafter, and (ii) on any date on which the principal balance of such Advance is due and payable in full (whether at maturity, due
to acceleration or otherwise). Interest payable at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand. All determinations by Lender of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower for all purposes, absent
manifest error. 
 (c) Late Fees. Borrower acknowledges that late payment to Lender will cause Lender to incur costs not
contemplated by this Agreement. Such costs include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges. Therefore, if Borrower fails to pay (whether by direct debit or otherwise) within fifteen (15) days of the date when due any sum due and
payable hereunder through the Maturity Date (other than payment of the entire outstanding balance of the Loan on the Maturity Date or any acceleration of the outstanding Advances), a late charge of four percent (4%) of any such principal
payment, interest or other charge due hereunder shall be charged by Lender and paid by Borrower for the purpose of defraying the expense incident to handling such delinquent payment. Borrower and Lender agree that this late charge represents a
reasonable sum considering all of the circumstances existing on the date hereof and represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Lender will incur by reason of late payment. Borrower and Lender further agree that proof of actual
damages would be costly and inconvenient. Acceptance of any late charge shall not constitute a waiver of the default with respect to the overdue installment, and shall not prevent Lender from exercising any of the other rights available hereunder or
any other Loan Document. Such late charge shall be paid without prejudice to any other rights of Lender. 

  
 22 

 (d) Yield Protection. If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any
law or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law), or any change in the interpretation, promulgation, implementation or administration thereof by any governmental
or quasi-governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof including, notwithstanding the foregoing, all requests, rules, guidelines or directives in connection with Dodd-Frank Wall
Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued, or compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency:

 (i) subjects Lender to any Taxes, or changes the basis of taxation of payments to Lender in respect of the
Loan or Lender’s commitment to lend under this Agreement, or 
 (ii) imposes or increases or deems
applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by Lender, or 

(iii) imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to Lender of making, funding or maintaining
the Loan or reduces any amount receivable by Lender in connection with the Loan or Lender’s commitment to lend under this Agreement, or requires Lender to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of the Loan by an amount deemed
material by Lender, 
 and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making or maintaining the Loan or to reduce
the return received by Lender, as the case may be, in connection with the Loan, then, within thirty (30) days of demand by Lender, Borrower shall pay Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender for such increased cost or
reduction in amount received. 
 (e) Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. If Lender determines the amount of capital
required or expected to be maintained by Lender, or any corporation controlling Lender is increased as a result of a Change (defined below), then, within thirty (30) days of demand by Lender, Borrower shall pay Lender the amount necessary to
compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital which Lender determines is attributable to this Agreement (after taking into account Lender’s policies as to capital adequacy).
“Change” means (i) any change after the date of this Agreement in the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines (defined below) or (ii) any adoption of or change in any other law, governmental or quasi-governmental rule,
regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation, or directive (whether or not having the force of law) or in the interpretation, promulgation, implementation or administration thereof after the date of this Agreement which affects the amount of
capital required or expected to be maintained by Lender or any corporation controlling Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of this Agreement, all requests, rules, guidelines or directives in connection with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street
Reform and Consumer Protection Act shall be deemed to be a Change regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on
Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States financial regulatory authorities shall be deemed to be a Change regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented.
“Risk-Based Capital Guidelines” means (i) the risk-based capital guidelines in effect in the United States on the date of this Agreement, including transition rules, and (ii) the corresponding capital regulations
promulgated by regulatory authorities outside the United States including transition rules, and any amendments to such regulations adopted prior to the date of this Agreement.

outstanding under the Loan; provided, however, that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then such payment(s) received by Lender may be applied to the Obligations in such manner and priority as Lender may determine in its sole
discretion. 
 (c) Instructions for Payment of Principal, Interest and Fees. All payments of principal, interest and Fees

the term of the Loan by submitting a request for an extension to Lender (an “Extension Request”) by no earlier than one-hundred eighty (180) days and no later than forty-five (45) days prior to the then existing
Maturity Date. Borrower may revoke such Extension Request at any time at least forty-five (45) days prior to the then existing Maturity Date; provided, however, Borrower shall reimburse Lender for all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in
connection with such Extension Request. The right of Borrower to obtain an extension of the term of the Loan as provided in this Section shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent on or prior to the then existing

financial and business projections, budgets, pro forma data and forecasts concerning Borrower delivered to Lender prior to the then existing Maturity Date that has had or could be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; 

(d) Overadvance. On the date the Extension Request is submitted and on the then existing Maturity Date, Borrower shall be in

Request;

prior to the effective date of any reduction of the Commitment Amount shall be refunded. 
 ARTICLE III 

PAYMENTS, FEES AND OTHER GENERAL PROVISIONS 
 Section 3.1 Payments. 
 Except to the extent otherwise provided
herein, all payments of principal, interest and other amounts to be made by Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to Lender, not
later than 11:00 a.m. on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). If the due date of any payment under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall be payable for the period of such extension. 

Section 3.2 Fees. 
 (a) Loan Fee. Borrower agrees to pay to Lender upon the closing of the Loan a loan fee in an amount equal to Six Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($625,000), which loan fee shall be
non-refundable and fully earned when paid. 

  
 26 

 (b) Unused Facility Fee. Commencing as of the quarterly period ending
on June 30, 2014 and until the Maturity Date, following the end of each subsequent September, December, March and June until all of the Obligations have been repaid in full and Lender’s obligation to lend under the Loan Documents has
terminated (each, a “Facility Fee Test Date”), Lender shall calculate and report to Borrower the average daily principal balance of all Advances as determined for the three (3) month period ending on such Facility Fee
Test Date. For purposes of this subsection, the “average daily principal balance” means the sum of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan reported on each day during the three (3) month period ending on each Facility Fee Test
Date, as determined by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion, divided by the total number of days in such three (3) month period. Following each Facility Fee Test Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender a fee accruing at the rate of
three-twentieths of one percent (0.15%) per annum upon an amount equal to the Pro Rata Commitment Amount for such three (3) month period, minus the average daily principal balance outstanding during such three (3) month period; provided,
however, that, if, the average daily principal balance during such three (3) month period exceeds the amount that is thirty-five percent (35%) of the Pro Rata Commitment Amount for such three (3) month period, then no unused fee will
be due for such three (3) month period. Any unused fee payable under this subsection shall be payable by Borrower within five (5) Business Days of Lender’s calculation thereof and notice to Borrower of same. As used herein
“Pro Rata Commitment Amount” means, for each three (3) month measuring period, an amount equal to (a) the sum of the Commitment Amount outstanding on each day during such
three (3) month period, divided by (b) the total number of days during such three (3) month period. For example, if the Commitment Amount was $125,000,000 for 75 days out of a 90-day measuring period and $115,000,000 for 15 days out
of a 90-day measuring period, the Pro Rata Commitment Amount would be $123,333,333.33 (($9,375,000,000 (i.e., $125,000,000 X 75) + $1,725,000,000 (i.e., $115,000,000 X 15)) / 90). 

(c) Extension Fee. If the Maturity Date is extended pursuant to Section 2.6, Borrower shall pay to Lender an extension
fee with respect to each such extension period in an amount equal to (i) one-eighth of one percent (0.1250%), multiplied by (ii) the Commitment Amount in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of such extension, which extension fee
shall be due and payable as and when contemplated by Section 2.6 above and shall be non-refundable and fully earned when paid. 
 Section 3.3 Computations. 
 Unless otherwise expressly set forth
herein, any accrued interest on the Loan, any Fees or other Obligations due hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed. 

Section 3.4 Usury. 
 In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable on the Advances or other Obligations exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by Applicable Law and, if any such payment is paid by Borrower or
received by Lender, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless Borrower shall notify Lender in writing that Borrower elects to have such excess sum returned to it forthwith. It is the express intent of the parties
hereto that Borrower not pay and Lender not receive, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully paid by Borrower under Applicable Law. 

  
 27 

 Section 3.5 Agreement Regarding Interest and Charges.

 The parties hereto hereby agree and stipulate that the only charge imposed upon Borrower for the use of money in connection
with this Agreement is and shall be the interest specifically described in Section 2.2(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto further agree and stipulate that all agency fees, syndication fees, facility fees, letter of
credit fees, underwriting fees, default charges, late charges, funding or “breakage” charges, increased cost charges, attorneys’ fees and reimbursement for costs and expenses paid by Lender to third parties or for damages incurred by
Lender, are charges made to compensate Lender for underwriting or administrative services and costs or losses performed or incurred, and to be performed or incurred, by Lender in connection with this Agreement and shall under no circumstances be
deemed to be charges for the use of money. All charges other than charges for the use of money shall be fully earned and nonrefundable when due. 
 Section 3.6 Statements of Account. 
 Lender will account to Borrower
monthly with a statement of Advances, accrued interest and Fees, charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such account rendered by Lender shall be deemed conclusive upon Borrower absent manifest error.
The failure of Lender to deliver such a statement of accounts shall not relieve or discharge Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder. 
 Section 3.7 Taxes. 
 All payments by Borrower of principal of, and
interest on, the Advances and all other Obligations shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future excise, stamp or other taxes, fees, duties, levies, imposts, charges, deductions, withholdings or other charges of
any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, but excluding (i) franchise taxes, and (ii) any taxes imposed on or measured by Lender’s assets, net income, receipts or branch profits. 

Section 3.8 Funds Transfer Disbursements. 

(a) Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to disburse the proceeds of any Advance as requested by any Authorized Signatory pursuant to a
completed Transfer Statement in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto to the account designated thereon. Borrower agrees to be bound by any transfer request: (i) authorized or transmitted by Borrower; or, (ii) made in
Borrower’s name and accepted by Lender in good faith and in compliance with these transfer instructions, even if not properly authorized by Borrower. Borrower further agrees and acknowledges that Lender may rely solely on any lender routing
number or identifying lender account number or name provided by Borrower to effect a wire or funds transfer even if the information provided by Borrower identifies a different lender or account holder than named by Borrower. Lender is not obligated
or required in any way to take any actions to detect errors in information provided by Borrower. 

  
 28 

 (b) If Lender takes any actions in an attempt to detect errors in the transmission or
content of transfer requests or takes any actions in an attempt to detect unauthorized funds transfer requests, Borrower agrees that no matter how many times Lender takes these actions Lender will not in any situation be liable for failing to take
or correctly perform these actions in the future and such actions shall not become any part of the transfer disbursement procedures authorized under this provision, the Loan Documents, or any agreement between Lender and Borrower. Borrower agrees to
notify Lender of any errors in the transfer of any funds or of any unauthorized or improperly authorized transfer requests within fourteen (14) days after Lender’s confirmation to Borrower of such transfer. Lender will, in its sole
discretion, determine the funds transfer system and the means by which each transfer will be made. 
 (c) Lender may delay or
refuse to accept a funds transfer request if the transfer would: (i) violate the terms of this authorization; (ii) require use of a lender unacceptable to Lender or prohibited by any Governmental Authority; (iii) cause Lender to
violate any Federal Reserve or other regulatory risk control program or guideline, or (iv) otherwise cause Lender to violate any Applicable Law or regulation. 
 (d) Lender shall not be liable to Borrower or any other parties for (i) errors, acts or failures to act of others, including other entities, lenders, communications carriers or clearinghouses,
through which Borrower’s transfers may be made or information received or transmitted, and no such entity shall be deemed an agent of Lender, (ii) any loss, liability or delay caused by fires, earthquakes, wars, civil disturbances, power
surges or failures, acts of government, labor disputes, failures in communications networks, legal constraints or other events beyond Lender’s control, or (iii) any special, consequential, indirect or punitive damages, whether or not
(A) any claim for these damages is based on tort or contract or (B) Lender or Borrower knew or should have known the likelihood of these damages in any situation. Lender makes no retranslations or warranties with respect to the foregoing
or otherwise other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement.

 (a) No Default or Event of Default exists or will exist immediately after giving effect to such Bulk Sale and after giving effect to the resulting reduction in the Aggregate Borrowing Base Value (and
Borrower’s delivery of a request in accordance with this Section 4.2 shall be deemed to be a representation by Borrower that the foregoing statement is true and correct); 

(b) Borrower shall have delivered to Lender an updated interim Borrowing Base Report confirming to the satisfaction of Lender that the

Borrowing Base Property which shall remain encumbered by the Security Documents; and 
 (f) Lender shall have received any and
all sums then due and owing under the Loan Documents (including pursuant to subsection (c) above), together with all escrow, closing and recording costs, the costs of preparing and delivering such partial reconveyance(s) or release(s) and the

Section 2.4(b)(ii) after giving effect to each such requested reconveyance, and (ii) on a monthly basis after Lender’s receipt of the monthly Borrowing Base Report, issue partial reconveyances from the lien of the applicable
Security Documents of the affected Eligible Property; provided, however, that prior to or simultaneously with each such partial reconveyance all of the following conditions shall be satisfied:

(e) Lender shall have received evidence satisfactory to Lender that any tax, bond or assessment, including, without limitation, under the
Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, which constitutes a lien against such Borrowing Base Property has been properly allocated between the portion of such Borrowing Base Property to be reconveyed and the portion of such Borrowing Base
Property which shall remain encumbered by the Security Documents; and 
 (f) In addition to the requirements set forth in
Section 4.3(a)-(e) above, with respect any requested release of a Model, either (i) another Home of the same plan type shall have been designated, furnished and equipped as an alternate Model, all as reasonably acceptable to

conditions set forth in Section 4.3(a)-(e) above shall have been satisfied with respect to such reconveyance, and (2) not more than ten (10) days after such partial reconveyance, the applicable Street or the Common Area,
as the case may be, shall be conveyed by Borrower to such Governmental Authority or homeowners association.

correct); 
 (b) Borrower shall have delivered to Lender an updated interim Borrowing Base Report confirming to the satisfaction

 35 

 (b) Lender may at any time or from time to time obtain, at Lender’s sole cost and
expense, interim Appraisals updating and revising prior Appraisals with respect to the Borrowing Base Properties; provided; however, that, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall not use an updated

Section 8.2, or on an interim basis in accordance with Sections 4.2, or 4.3. Any change (based on an updated Appraisal or otherwise) in the Borrowing Base Value of a Borrowing Base Property shall become effective as of the

 (o) Environmental Laws. 

(i) In the ordinary course of business and from time to time Borrower conducts reviews of the effect of Environmental Laws
on its business, operations and properties, including without limitation, the Properties, in the course of which Borrower identifies and evaluates associated liabilities and costs (including, without limitation, determining whether any capital or
operating expenditures are required for clean-up or closure of properties presently or previously owned, determining whether any capital or operating expenditures are required to achieve or maintain compliance in all material respects with
Environmental Laws or required as a condition of any Governmental Approval, any contract, or any related constraints on operating activities, determining whether any costs or liabilities exist in connection with off-site disposal of wastes or
Hazardous Materials, and determining whether any actual or potential liabilities to third parties, including employees, and any related costs and expenses exist). 

(ii) To Borrower’s knowledge after due inquiry, except as disclosed in any Site Assessment delivered to Lender prior
to the acceptance of any applicable Project as a Borrowing Base Property, Borrower is in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws and has obtained all Governmental Approvals which are required under Environmental Laws and is in compliance
with all terms and conditions of such Governmental Approvals, where with respect to each of the foregoing the failure to obtain or to comply with could be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(iii) Borrower is not aware of, nor has it received notice of, except as disclosed in any Site Assessment delivered to
Lender prior to the acceptance of any applicable Project as a Borrowing Base Property, any past or present events, conditions, circumstances, activities, practices, incidents, actions, or plans which, with respect to Borrower, may unreasonably
interfere with or prevent compliance or continued compliance with Environmental Laws, or may give rise to any common-law or legal liability, based on or related to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal,
transport, or handling or the emission, discharge, release or threatened release into the environment, of any Hazardous Materials; and to Borrower’s knowledge after due inquiry, (A) there is no civil, criminal, or administrative action,
suit, demand, claim, hearing, notice, or demand letter, notice of violation, investigation, or proceeding pending or threatened, against or in relation to any current or prior Borrowing Base Property relating in any way to Environmental Laws, and
(B) without limitation of the representations made pursuant to clause (A) above, there is no civil, criminal, or 

  
 42 

 
administrative action, suit, demand, claim, hearing, notice, or demand letter, notice of violation, investigation, or proceeding pending or threatened, against Borrower relating in any way to
Environmental Laws which could be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (iv) To Borrower’s
knowledge after due inquiry, except as disclosed in any Site Assessment delivered to Lender prior to the acceptance of any applicable Project as a Borrowing Base Property, none of the Borrowing Base Properties has a Mold Condition. 

As used in this Section 6.1(o), “due inquiry” means the examination or investigation of facts required as a result of
some suspicion that such set of facts are no longer true. For example, in Section 6.1(o)(iv), Borrower represents that “to Borrower’s knowledge after due inquiry, none of the Borrowing Base Properties has a Mold
Condition.” In accordance with Section 5.2, as a condition precedent to each Advance, Borrower must assure Lender that such representation is still correct. The phrase “due inquiry” does not obligate the Borrower to
reexamine each Borrowing Base Property for a Mold Condition each time an Advance is requested; rather the phrase “due inquiry” obligates the Borrower to reexamine a Borrowing Base Property for a Mold Condition if Borrower has some reason
to believe that a Mold Condition may exist on such Borrowing Base Property. 
 (p) Investment Company; Public Utility Holding
Company. Borrower is not (i) an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or (ii) subject to any other
Applicable Law which purports to regulate or restrict its ability to borrow money or obtain other extensions of credit or to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or to perform its obligations under any Loan Document.

 (q) Margin Stock. Borrower is not engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of
extending credit for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. 

(r) Affiliate Transactions. Except as permitted by Section 9.4, Borrower is not a party to or bound by any agreement
or arrangement (whether oral or written) with any Affiliate. 
 (s) Intellectual Property. Borrower owns or has the right
to use, under valid license agreements or otherwise, all patents, licenses, franchises, trademarks, trademark rights, trade names, trade name rights, trade secrets and copyrights (collectively, “Intellectual Property”)
necessary to the conduct of its businesses, without known conflict with any patent, license, franchise, trademark, trade secret, trade name, copyright, or other proprietary right of any other Person. All such Intellectual Property is fully protected
and/or duly and properly registered, filed or issued in the appropriate office and jurisdictions for such registrations, filing or issuances. No material claim has been asserted by any Person with respect to the use of any such Intellectual
Property, or challenging or questioning the validity or effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property. 

  
 43 

 (t) Business. Borrower is engaged primarily and predominantly in the business of
acquiring, developing and constructing residential Homes, together with related business activities and investments incidental thereto. 
 (u) Broker’s Fees. No broker’s or finder’s fee, commission or similar compensation will be payable with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. No other similar fees or
commissions will be payable by Borrower for any other services rendered to Borrower ancillary to the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 (v) Accuracy and Completeness of Information. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, all written information, reports and other papers and data furnished to Lender by, on behalf of, or at the
direction of, Borrower were, at the time the same were so furnished, complete and correct to the extent necessary to give the recipient a true and accurate knowledge of the subject matter in all material respects, or, in the case of financial
statements, present fairly, in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved, the financial position of the Persons involved as at the date thereof and the results of operations for such periods. No document furnished or
written statement made to Lender pursuant to, or in connection with the negotiation, preparation or execution of, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents contains or will contain any untrue statement of a fact material to the
creditworthiness of Borrower or omits or will omit to state a fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading. 
 (w) Collateral. Each Borrowing Base Property satisfies all requirements under the Loan Documents for being an Eligible Property. 

(x) Options to Acquire; Restrictions on Development. None of the Borrowing Base Properties are subject to any right of first
refusal, right of first offer or other options to purchase except as set forth on Schedule 6.1(x) attached hereto or as otherwise provided to Lender in connection with Borrower’s request to add an additional Project to the Borrowing Base
pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Other than the Permitted Liens and any other standard and customary development agreements entered into in the ordinary course of the Borrower’s business or standard and
customary conditions and restrictions of record affecting the applicable Project (including any disposition and development agreements) which do not, taken individually, have an economic impact on the development of the applicable Project as
contemplated in the materials submitted by Borrower to Lender prior to the Agreement Date, none of the Properties is subject to any agreement restricting or limiting its development except as set forth on such Schedule 6.1(x). 

(y) Restrictions. Borrower is familiar with all restrictions that affect each Project and the construction of the improvements
thereon and the contemplated use thereof. Borrower has obtained, or will be able to obtain, all permits, Governmental Approvals, consents and other authorization necessary under the restrictions for such construction and use, and such construction
and use will comply with the restrictions. There is no violation or asserted violation of any zoning, use or other recorded restrictions concerning any of the Projects or the existing or contemplated use thereof.

 All statements contained in any certificate, financial statement or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of Borrower to
Lender pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (including, but not limited to, any such statement made in or in connection with any amendment thereto or any statement contained in any certificate,
financial statement or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of Borrower prior to the Agreement Date and delivered to Lender in connection with closing the transactions contemplated hereby) shall constitute representations and warranties made
by Borrower under this Agreement. All representations and warranties made under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to be made at and as of the Agreement Date, the Effective Date and at and as of the date of each Advance,
except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and accurate on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in
factual circumstances specifically permitted hereunder. All such representations and warranties shall survive the effectiveness of this Agreement, the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of the Advances.

 Borrower shall, while any obligation of
Borrower under any Loan Document remains outstanding, at Borrower’s sole expense, maintain the following policies of insurance in form and substance satisfactory to Lender. Capitalized terms used in this Section shall have the same meaning as

either (a) cause such bonded stop notice to be fully satisfied or withdrawn, or (b) deposit with Lender an amount acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion (provided that such amount shall not exceed equal to one hundred fifty percent
(150%) of the amount of such bonded stop notice), which amount shall be held by Lender in an account with USB (the “Borrower’s Deposit Account”) as additional security for the Obligations. Borrower agrees that it
shall include any and all interest and earnings on any such deposit as its income, and shall be the owner of all funds on deposit in such Borrower’s Deposit Account for federal and applicable state and local tax purposes. Lender shall have the
exclusive right to manage and control all funds in the Borrower’s Deposit Account, but Lender shall have no fiduciary duty with respect to such funds. In the event that litigation is commenced against Lender in connection with any such bonded
stop notice, Lender shall provide prompt written notice thereof to Borrower and, in connection with any answer filed by Lender in any such action, Lender may advance funds on deposit in the Borrower’s Deposit Account to the claimant under such
bonded stop notice in an amount 

  
 50 

 
reasonably necessary to satisfy such bonded stop notice in full. Any account fees and charges may be deducted from the balance, if any, in the Borrower’s Deposit Account. Borrower grants to
Lender a security interest in the Borrower’s Deposit Account and all such deposited funds hereafter deposited to such deposit account, and any proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations. Such security interest shall be governed by the
Uniform Commercial Code of the State of California, and Lender shall have available to it all of the rights and remedies available to a secured party thereunder. The Borrower’s Deposit Account may be established and held in such name or names
as Lender shall deem appropriate, including in the name of Lender. Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints Lender and any officer or agent of Lender its true and lawful attorneys-in-fact with full power of substitution to open the Borrower’s
Deposit Account and to do any and every act that Borrower might do on its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Section 7.19. To the extent permitted by law, Borrower hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause
to be done by virtue hereof. It is understood and agreed that this power of attorney, which shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest, cannot be revoked. In the event that any bonded stop notice with respect to which Borrower has
deposited funds into the Borrower’s Deposit Account in accordance with this Section 7.19 is withdrawn or satisfied in full (and Lender shall have received evidence thereof reasonably satisfactory to Lender), then, so long as no
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall return to Borrower any remaining funds deposited into the Borrower’s Deposit Account with respect to such bonded stop notice promptly after Borrower’s written request
therefor. 
 Section 7.20 Financial Covenants.

BY LENDER OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION. 
 (e) BORROWER AGREES THAT ALL OF ITS
PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER SHALL BE ABSOLUTE AND UNCONDITIONAL, AND FOR THE PURPOSES OF MAKING PAYMENTS HEREUNDER, BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO ASSERT ANY SETOFF, COUNTERCLAIM OR CROSS-CLAIM. 

  
 63 

 (f) THE FOREGOING WAIVERS HAVE BEEN MADE WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL

(d) Information to Assignee, Etc. Lender may furnish any information concerning Borrower and its properties in the possession of
Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants), provided that all such information shall only be shared pursuant to a confidentiality agreement, signed by the recipient of such information,
which requires that such recipient take commercially customary and reasonable precautions to maintain the confidentiality of all such non-public information (subject to customary exceptions). In connection with such negotiation, execution and
delivery, Borrower authorizes Lender to communicate all information and documentation related to the Loan (whether to Borrower or to any participant, assignee, legal counsel, appraiser or other necessary party) directly by e-mail, fax, or other
electronic means used to transmit information. 
 Section 11.7 Amendments. 

No amendment, waiver or consent unless in writing and signed by Lender, shall affect the rights or duties of Lender under this Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents. No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon and any amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
specific purpose set forth therein. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. Any Event of Default occurring hereunder shall
continue to exist until such time as such Event of Default is waived in writing in accordance with the terms of this Section, notwithstanding any attempted cure or other action by Borrower subsequent to the occurrence of such Event of Default.
Except as otherwise explicitly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, no notice to or demand upon Borrower shall entitle Borrower to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 

Section 11.8 Nonliability of Lender. 

The relationship between Borrower, on the one hand, and Lender, on the other hand, shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Lender
shall have no fiduciary responsibilities to Borrower and no provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, and no course of dealing between or among any of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty owing by
Lender to Borrower. Lender does not undertake, and expressly disclaims, any responsibility to Borrower to review or inform Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of Borrower’s business or operations. 

Section 11.9 Tax Reporting. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in any other written or oral understanding or agreement to which the parties hereto are parties or by which they are bound,

  
 66 

 
the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (a) any obligations of confidentiality contained herein and therein do not apply and have not applied from the commencement of discussions
between the parties to the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (and any related transactions or arrangements), and (b) each party (and each of its employees, representatives, or other agents)
may disclose to any and all parties as required, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that
are provided to such party relating to such tax treatment and tax structure, all within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.6011-4; provided, however, that each party recognizes that the privilege each has to maintain, in its sole
discretion, the confidentiality of a communication relating to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, including a confidential communication with its attorney or a confidential communication with a federally authorized tax practitioner
under Section 7525 of the Internal Revenue Code, is not intended to be affected by the foregoing. 

Section 11.10 Indemnification. 
 (a) Borrower shall and hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender, any Affiliate of Lender and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, agents, employees and counsel (each
referred to herein as an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all actual losses, costs, claims, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, judgments or expenses of every kind and nature (including, without limitation,
amounts paid in settlement, court costs and the fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding or any advice rendered in connection therewith) incurred by an Indemnified Party in
connection with, arising out of, or by reason of, any suit, cause of action, claim, arbitration, investigation or settlement, consent decree or other proceeding (the foregoing referred to herein as an “Indemnity Proceeding”)
which is in any way related directly or indirectly to: (i) this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated thereby; (ii) the making of any Advances; (iii) any actual or proposed use by Borrower of the
proceeds of the Advances; (iv) Lender’s entering into this Agreement; (v) the fact that Lender has established the credit facility evidenced hereby in favor of Borrower; (vi) the fact that Lender is a creditor of Borrower and has
or is alleged to have information regarding the financial condition, strategic plans or business operations of Borrower; (vii) the fact that Lender is a material creditor of Borrower and is alleged to influence directly or indirectly the
business decisions or affairs of Borrower or its financial condition; (viii) the exercise of any right or remedy Lender may have under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents including, but not limited to, the foreclosure upon, or seizure
of, any Collateral or the exercise of any other rights of a secured party; (ix) any violation or non-compliance by Borrower of any Applicable Law (including any Environmental Law) including, but not limited to, any Indemnity Proceeding
commenced by (A) the Internal Revenue Service or state taxing authority or (B) any Governmental Authority or other Person under any Environmental Law, including any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by a Governmental Authority or other Person
seeking remedial or other action to cause Borrower (or its properties) (or Lender as successor-in-interest to Borrower) to be in compliance with such Environmental Laws; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to
indemnify any Indemnified Party for any acts or omissions of such Indemnified party in connection with matters described in this clause (a) that constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the foregoing 

  
 67 

 
indemnification obligations shall not apply to any acts or events that first occur subsequent to the date Lender acquires title to the Properties by foreclosure (as evidenced by the recordation
of a trustee’s deed or order of judicial foreclosure in the applicable public records) or acceptance of a deed in lieu thereof unless such acts or events are caused by Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower. 

(b) The Borrower’s indemnification obligations under this Section shall apply to all Indemnity Proceedings arising out of, or
related to, the foregoing whether or not an Indemnified Party is a named party in such Indemnity Proceeding. In this connection, this indemnification shall cover all costs and expenses of any Indemnified Party in connection with any deposition of
any Indemnified Party or compliance with any subpoena (including any subpoena requesting the production of documents). This indemnification shall, among other things, apply to any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by other creditors of Borrower, any
account debtor of Borrower or by any Governmental Authority. 
 (c) This indemnification shall apply to any Indemnity Proceeding
arising during the pendency of any bankruptcy proceeding filed by or against Borrower. 
 (d) All out-of-pocket fees and
expenses of, and all amounts paid to third-persons by, an Indemnified Party shall be advanced by Borrower at the request of such Indemnified Party notwithstanding any claim or assertion by Borrower that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to
indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by such Indemnified Party that such Indemnified Party will reimburse Borrower if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party is not
so entitled to indemnification hereunder. 
 (e) An Indemnified Party may conduct its own investigation and defense of, and may
formulate its own strategy with respect to, any Indemnity Proceeding covered by this Section and, as provided above, all costs and expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed by Borrower. No action taken by legal counsel chosen
by an Indemnified Party in investigating or defending against any such Indemnity Proceeding shall vitiate or in any way impair the obligations and duties of Borrower hereunder to indemnify and hold harmless each such Indemnified Party; provided,
however, that (i) if Borrower is required to indemnify an Indemnified Party pursuant hereto and (ii) Borrower has provided evidence reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party that Borrower has the financial wherewithal to reimburse
such Indemnified Party for any amount paid by such Indemnified Party with respect to such Indemnity Proceeding, such Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any such Indemnity Proceeding without the prior written consent of Borrower (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 
 (f) If and to the extent that the obligations of Borrower hereunder
are unenforceable for any reason, Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under Applicable Law. 

Section 11.11 Termination; Survival. 

At such time as (a) Lender’s commitment to lend under the Loan Documents has been terminated and Lender is no longer obligated
under this Agreement to make any Advances, and 

  
 68 

 
(b) all Obligations (other than obligations which survive as provided in the following sentence) have been paid and satisfied in full, this Agreement shall terminate. The indemnities to which
Lender is entitled under the provisions of Section 3.8, Section 11.2, Section 11.7 and Section 11.10 and any other provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the provisions of
Section 11.5, shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect Lender (i) notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, or of the other Loan Documents, against events arising after such termination as well as before
and (ii) if applicable, at all times after Lender ceases to be a party to this Agreement with respect to all matters and events existing on or prior to the date Lender ceased to be a party to this Agreement. 

Section 11.12 Severability of Provisions. 

Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

Section 11.13 GOVERNING LAW. 
 THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE. 

Section 11.14 Counterparts. 
 This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed
and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. 
 Section 11.15 Independence of Covenants. 
 All covenants hereunder
shall be given in any jurisdiction independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be otherwise within the limitations of, another
covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists. 
 Section 11.16 Limitation of Liability. 
 Neither Lender, nor any
Affiliate, officer, director, employee, attorney, or agent of Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, or
consequential damages suffered or incurred by Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents. Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue Lender or any of Lender’s Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents for punitive damages in respect of any claim in connection with, arising out of,
or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or financed hereby. 

  
 69 

 Section 11.17 Entire Agreement. 

This Agreement, the Note, and the other Loan Documents referred to herein embody the final, entire agreement among the parties hereto and
supersede any and all prior commitments, agreements, representations, and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and may not be contradicted or varied by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or
subsequent oral agreements or discussions of the parties hereto. There are no oral agreements among the parties hereto. 
 Section 11.18 Construction. 
 Lender and Borrower each acknowledge
that it has had the benefit of legal counsel of its own choice and has been afforded an opportunity to review this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with its legal counsel and that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed
as if jointly drafted by Lender and Borrower. 
 Section 11.19 Compliance with Anti-Terrorism Laws.

 (a) Notice. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law
requires Lender to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. This means that Lender will ask for Borrower’s name, Tax ID number, address, and other information, as applicable, including identifying
documents that will allow Lender to properly identify Borrower. 
 (b) Representations and Warranties. Borrower
represents and warrants as follows: 
 (i) Borrower is not in violation of any laws relating to terrorism or
money laundering, including, but not limited to, Executive Order No. 13224 on Terrorist Financing, effective September 24, 2001 (the “Executive Order”) and the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools

 70

Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation (the
“Depository”), to the Company or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange, or payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized

 CITIGROUP INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”, which term includes any successor Person
under the Indenture), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of $500,000,000 on July 25, 2016 and to pay interest thereon from and including July 25, 2013 or from the
most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually, on January 25 and July 25 of each year, commencing January 25, 2014 at the rate of 1.700% per annum, until the principal
hereof is paid or made available for payment. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the
close of business on the Record Date for such interest, which shall be the Business Day immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date. 

 Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be
payable to the holder on such Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on a subsequent Record Date, such subsequent Record Date to be not less than five days prior to the date of
payment of such defaulted interest, notice whereof shall be given to holders of Notes of this series not less than 15 days prior to such subsequent Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements
of any securities exchange on which the Notes of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. 

Interest hereon will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. 

If either an Interest Payment Date or the Maturity of the Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date or
Maturity will be the next succeeding Business Day. If a date for payment of interest or principal on the Notes falls on a day that is not a business day in the place of payment, such payment will be made on the next succeeding business day in such
place of payment as if made on the date the payment was due. No interest will accrue on any amounts payable for the period from and after the due date for payment of such principal or interest. 

For these purposes, “Business Day” means any day which is a day on which commercial banks settle payments and are open for
general business in The City of New York. 
 Payment of the principal of and interest on this Note will be made at the office or
agency of the Trustee maintained for that purpose in The City of New York. 
 Reference is hereby made to the further provisions
of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. 
 Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee or by an authenticating agent on behalf of the Trustee by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit
under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

 This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company (the
“Notes”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under the Indenture, dated as of March 15, 1987 (as amended and supplemented to date, the “Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, formerly
known as The Bank of New York, as Trustee (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 and the holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series designated
on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal to $1,500,000,000. 
 If an event of default (as defined in the
Indenture) with respect to Notes of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Note upon compliance by the Company with
certain conditions set forth in Sections 11.03 and 11.04 thereof, which provisions apply to this Note. 

The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, without the consent of the holders of the
Securities, to establish, among other things, the form and terms of any series of Securities issuable thereunder by one or more supplemental indentures, and, with the consent of the holders of not less than 66 2/3% in aggregate principal amount of Securities at the time outstanding which are affected thereby, to modify the Indenture or any supplemental indenture or the rights of the holders of Securities of such
series to be affected, provided that no such modification will (i) extend the fixed maturity of any Securities, reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, reduce the principal amount thereof or the premium, if any,
thereon, reduce the amount of the principal of Original Issue Discount Securities payable on any date, change the currency in which Securities are payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the
maturity thereof, without the consent of the holder of each Security so affected, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities of any series the consent of the holders of which is required for any such modification without the consent
of the holders of all Securities of such series then outstanding, or (iii) modify, without the written consent of the Trustee, the rights, duties or immunities of the Trustee. 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the
Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 
 This Note is a Global Security registered in the name of a nominee of the Depository. This Note is exchangeable for Notes registered in the name of a person other than the Depository or its nominee only
in the limited circumstances hereinafter described. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for definitive Notes in certificated form, this Note may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository
or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository. 

  
 R-1

 The Notes represented by this Global Security are exchangeable for definitive Notes in
certificated form of like tenor as such Notes in denominations of $1,000 and whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof only if (i) the Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for the Notes or
(ii) the Depository ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or (iii) the Company in its sole discretion decides to allow the Notes to be exchanged for definitive Notes in registered
form. Any Notes that are exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence are exchangeable for certificated Notes issuable in authorized denominations and registered in such names as the Depository shall direct. As provided in the Indenture and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of definitive Notes in certificated form is registrable in the register maintained by the Company in The City of New York for such purpose, upon surrender of the definitive Note for
registration of transfer at the office or agency of the registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the registrar duly executed by, the holder thereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. Subject to the
foregoing, this Note is not exchangeable, except for a Global Security or Global Securities of this issue of the same principal amount to be registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee. 

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
 Prior to due presentment of this
Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither
the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 The Company will pay additional
amounts (“Additional Amounts”) to the beneficial owner of any Note that is a non-United States person in order to ensure that every net payment on such Note will not be less, due to payment of U.S.
withholding tax, than the amount then due and payable. For this purpose, a “net payment” on a Note means a payment by the Company or a paying agent, including payment of principal and interest, after deduction for any present or future
tax, assessment or other governmental charge of the United States. These Additional Amounts will constitute additional interest on the Note. 
 The Company will not be required to pay Additional Amounts, however, in any of the circumstances described in items (1) through (14) below. 

  
 R-2

	 	(1)	Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld
solely by reason of the beneficial owner: 

  

	 	(a)	having a relationship with the United States as a citizen, resident or otherwise; 

 

	 	(b)	having had such a relationship in the past or 

  

	 	(c)	being considered as having had such a relationship. 

  

	 	(2)	Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld
solely by reason of the beneficial owner: 

  

	 	(a)	being treated as present in or engaged in a trade or business in the United States; 

 

	 	(b)	being treated as having been present in or engaged in a trade or business in the United States in the past or 

 

	 	(c)	having or having had a permanent establishment in the United States. 

  

	 	(3)	Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld in
whole or in part by reason of the beneficial owner being or having been any of the following (as such terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended): 

 

	 	(a)	personal holding company; 

  

	 	(b)	foreign personal holding company; 

  

	 	(c)	foreign private foundation or other foreign tax-exempt organization; 

  

	 	(d)	passive foreign investment company; 

  

	 	(e)	controlled foreign corporation or 

  

	 	(f)	corporation which has accumulated earnings to avoid United States federal income tax. 

 

	 	(4)	Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld
solely by reason of the beneficial owner owning or having owned, actually or constructively, 10 percent or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company entitled to vote or by reason of the beneficial owner being a
bank that has invested in a Note as an extension of credit in the ordinary course of its trade or business. 

 For purposes of
items (1) through (4) above, “beneficial owner” means a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the holder if the holder is an estate, trust, partnership, limited liability company, corporation or other entity,
or a person holding a power over an estate or trust administered by a fiduciary holder. 

  
 R-3

	 	(5)	Additional Amounts will not be payable to any beneficial owner of a Note that is a: 

 

	 	(a)	fiduciary; 

  

	 	(b)	partnership; 

  

	 	(c)	limited liability company or 

  

	 	(d)	other fiscally transparent entity 

or that is not the sole beneficial owner of the Note, or any portion of the Note. However, this exception to the obligation to pay
Additional Amounts will only apply to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor in relation to the fiduciary, or a beneficial owner or member of the partnership, limited liability company or other fiscally transparent entity, would not have been
entitled to the payment of an Additional Amount had the beneficiary, settlor, beneficial owner or member received directly its beneficial or distributive share of the payment. 

 

	 	(6)	Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld
solely by reason of the failure of the beneficial owner or any other person to comply with applicable certification, identification, documentation or other information reporting requirements. This exception to the obligation to pay Additional
Amounts will only apply if compliance with such reporting requirements is required by statute or regulation of the United States or by an applicable income tax treaty to which the United States is a party as a precondition to exemption from such
tax, assessment or other governmental charge. 

  

	 	(7)	Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is collected or imposed by
any method other than by withholding from a payment on a Note by the Company or a paying agent. 

  

	 	(8)	Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld by
reason of a change in law, regulation, or administrative or judicial interpretation that becomes effective more than 15 days after the payment becomes due or is duly provided for, whichever occurs later. 

 

	 	(9)	Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld by
reason of the presentation by the beneficial owner of a Note for payment more than 30 days after the date on which such payment becomes due or is duly provided for, whichever occurs later. 

  
 R-4

	 	(10)	Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any: 

 

	 	(a)	estate tax; 

  

	 	(b)	inheritance tax; 

  

	 	(c)	gift tax; 

  

	 	(d)	sales tax; 

  

	 	(e)	excise tax; 

  

	 	(f)	transfer tax; 

  

	 	(g)	wealth tax; 

  

	 	(h)	personal property tax or 

  

	 	(i)	any similar tax, assessment, withholding, deduction or other governmental charge. 

 

	 	(11)	Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any
paying agent from a payment of principal or interest on a Note if such payment can be made without such withholding by any other paying agent. 

  

	 	(12)	Additional amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is required to be made
pursuant to any European Union directive on the taxation of savings income or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced to conform to, any such directive. 

 

	 	(13)	Additional amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any withholding, deduction, tax, duty assessment or other governmental charge
that would not have been imposed but for a failure by the holder or beneficial owner of a Note (or any financial institution through which the holder or beneficial owner holds the Note or through which payment on the Note is made) to take any action
(including entering into an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service, or a governmental authority of another jurisdiction if the holder is entitled to the benefits of an intergovernmental agreement between that jurisdiction and the United States)
or to comply with any applicable certification, documentation, information or other reporting requirement or agreement concerning accounts maintained by the holder or beneficial owner (or any such financial institution), or concerning ownership of
the holder or beneficial owner, or any substantially similar requirement or agreement. 

  

	 	(14)	Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any combination of items (1) through (13) above.

 Except as specifically provided herein, the Company will not be required to make any payment of any tax,
assessment or other governmental charge imposed by any government or a political subdivision or taxing authority of such government. 

  
 R-5

 As used in this Note, “United States person” means: 

 

	 	(a)	any individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States; 

  

	 	(b)	any corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States; 

 

	 	(c)	any estate if the income of such estate falls within the federal income tax jurisdiction of the United States regardless of the source of such income and

  

	 	(d)	any trust if a United States court is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and one or more United States persons have the authority to control
all of the substantial decisions of the trust. 

 Additionally,
“non-United States person” means a person who is not a United States person, and “United States” means the states of the United States of America and the District of Columbia, but excluding
its territories and its possessions. 
 Except as provided below, the Notes may not be redeemed prior to maturity. 

 

	 	(1)	The Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes if: 

  

	 	(a)	the Company becomes or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as described above; 

 

	 	(b)	the obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises as a result of any change in the laws, regulations or rulings of the United States, or an official position regarding
the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change is announced or becomes effective on or after July 18, 2013 and 

  

	 	(c)	the Company determines, in its business judgment, that the obligation to pay such Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by the use of reasonable measures available to
it, other than substituting the obligor under the Notes or taking any action that would entail a material cost to the Company. 

  

	 	(2)	The Company may also redeem the Notes, at its option, if: 

  

	 	(a)	any act is taken by a taxing authority of the United States on or after July 18, 2013, whether or not such act is taken in relation to the Company or any
affiliate, that results in a substantial probability that the Company will or may be required to pay Additional Amounts as described above; 

  

	 	(b)	the Company determines, in its business judgment, that the obligation to pay such Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by the use of reasonable measures available to
it, other than substituting the obligor under the Notes or taking any action that would entail a material cost to the Company and 

  

	 	(c)	the Company receives an opinion of independent counsel to the effect that an act taken by a taxing authority of the United States results in a substantial probability
that the Company will or may be required to pay the Additional Amounts described under above, and delivers to the Trustee a certificate, signed by a duly authorized officer, stating that based on such opinion the Company is entitled to redeem the
Notes pursuant to their terms. 

  
 R-6

 Any redemption of the Notes as set forth in clauses (1) or (2) above shall be in whole, and not in
part, and will be made at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes Outstanding plus accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption. Holders shall be given not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior notice by
the Trustee of the date fixed for such redemption. 
 All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have
the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. The Notes are governed by the laws of the State of New York.
