The Paying Agent shall be responsible for paying sums due on the Notes and arranging on behalf of and at the expense of the Company for notices to be communicated to Holders in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange and facilitate any transfers or exchanges of Notes or beneficial interests in the Global Notes. No transfer may be effected unless the Note is surrendered to the Registrar and either (i) the Registrar reissues the surrendered Note to the Transferee Holder or (ii) the Registrar issues a new Note to the Transferee Holder. The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without prior notice to any Holder of a Note. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing and the Trustee shall notify the Holders of the Notes of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. The Company may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar. The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions hereof that relate to such Agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee and the Agents in writing of the name and address of any such Agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, or fails to give the foregoing notice, the Company shall direct the Trustee to act as such, and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation in accordance with Section 7.6. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if in the Paying Agent’s opinion, acting reasonably, it deems it appropriate to delegate any of its roles, duties or obligations created hereunder or under any other agreement to a third party, the Company hereby acknowledges the potential for, and acquiesces to, such delegation. The Depositary shall be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act. The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company to act as Depositary with respect to each Global Note. Initially, each Global Note shall be issued to the Depositary, registered in the name of Cede & Co., as the nominee of the Depositary, and deposited with the Trustee as custodian for Cede & Co. The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes and to act as custodian with respect to the Global Notes. In the event that Definitive Notes are issued (and no Global Notes remain outstanding) and the Paying Agent informs the Company that it is unable to perform its obligations under this Indenture, the Company shall forthwith appoint an additional agent who shall provide written notice of such to the Trustee. Such additional Agent shall become the Paying Agent hereunder upon written acceptance of the duties and obligations set forth herein. Subject to the payment by the Company to the Paying Agent of any fees, costs, expenses or other obligations owed and outstanding to the Paying Agent, the costs and expenses (including its counsels’ fees and expenses) incurred by the additional Agent in connection with such proceeding shall be paid by the Company. Upon receipt of the identity of the additional Agent, the Paying Agent shall deliver any funds then held hereunder to the additional Agent. Upon its resignation 21

and delivery of any funds, the Agent shall be discharged of and from any and all further obligations arising in connection with this Indenture, but shall continue to enjoy the benefit of Section 7.6. The Paying Agent shall collect all forms from the relevant Depositary that are required to exempt payments under the Notes from United States federal income tax withholding. In connection therewith, the Paying Agent shall provide the Company with a properly completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, and the aforementioned forms shall provide that the Paying Agent is acting in its capacity as intermediary with respect to all payments made under any Notes. SECTION 2.4. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. (a) The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, on the Notes, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or its Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes. (b) The Paying Agent shall hold for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee in writing of any Default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such Default continues, the Trustee may require the Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee for further payment to Holders of the Notes as and when due. The Company at any time may require the Paying Agent to pay all money held by the Paying Agent to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee. If the Company acts the Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes all money held by it the Paying Agent. (c) The Paying Agent shall not be liable for any interest on any money held by it hereunder. SECTION 2.5. Lists of Holders of the Notes. The Registrar shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders of the Notes. If the Paying Agent is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Paying Agent at least three Business Days before each Payment Date and at such other times as the Paying Agent may request in writing a list in such form and as of such date as the Paying Agent may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders of the Notes as of the record date, including the aggregate principal amount of the Notes held by each thereof. SECTION 2.6. Transfer and Exchange. (a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary (but in no event shall such transfer be less than all of a Global Note). Global Notes will be exchanged by the Company for Definitive Notes, subject to any applicable laws, only (i) if the Company delivers to the Trustee notice from the Depositary 22

that the Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue to act as a depositary for the Global Notes and the Company fails to appoint a successor depositary within 90 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary or (ii) upon request of the Holders or the Trustee at the written direction of Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes if there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Notes. In any such case, the Company will notify the Trustee in writing that, upon surrender by the Participants and Indirect Participants of their interests in such Global Note, Definitive Notes will be issued to each Person that such Participants, Indirect Participants and DTC, as applicable, jointly identify as being the beneficial owner of the related Notes. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.7 and 2.10. Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.6 or Sections 2.7 or 2.10, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this Section 2.6. However, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in paragraph (b) or (c) below. (b) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions hereof and the Applicable Procedures. Beneficial interests in the Restricted Global Notes shall be subject to restrictions on transfer comparable to those set forth in this Indenture to the extent required by the Securities Act. Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes also shall require compliance with the applicable subparagraphs below. (i) Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Note. Beneficial interests in any Restricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the same Restricted Global Note in accordance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the Private Placement Legend. Beneficial interests in any Unrestricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note. No written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect the transfers described in this subparagraph (i) unless specifically stated above. (ii) All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. In connection with all transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests that are not subject to Section 2.6(b)(i) above, the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Registrar either: (A) (1) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in another Global Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged; and (2) instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the Participant account to be credited with such increase; or (B) (1) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to cause to be issued a Definitive Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged; and (2) instructions given by the Depositary to the Registrar containing information regarding the Person in whose name such Definitive Note shall be registered to effect the transfer or exchange referred to in (B)(1) above. 23

Upon satisfaction of all of the requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in Global Notes contained in this Indenture and the Notes or otherwise applicable under the Securities Act, the Registrar shall adjust the principal amount of the relevant Global Note(s) pursuant to Section 2.6(i). (iii) Transfer of Beneficial Interests to Another Restricted Global Note. A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Note may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Restricted Global Note if the transfer complies with the requirements of subparagraph (ii) above and the Registrar receives the following: (A) if the transferee will take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note, then the transferor must deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit C hereto, including the certifications in item (1) thereof; and (B) if the transferee will take delivery in the form of an IAI Global Note, then the transferor must deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit C hereto, including the certifications in item (2)(d) thereof. (iv) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in a Restricted Global Note for Beneficial Interests in an Unrestricted Global Note. A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Note may be exchanged by any Holder thereof for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note or transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note if the exchange or transfer complies with the requirements of Section 2.6(b)(ii) above and: (A) such transfer is effected pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act; or (B) the Registrar receives the following: (x) if the holder of such beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note, a certificate from such holder in the form of Exhibit D hereto, including the certifications in item (1)(a) thereof; or (y) if the holder of such beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note proposes to transfer such beneficial interest to a Person who shall take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note, a certificate from such holder in the form of Exhibit C hereto, including the certifications in item (3) thereof; and, in each such case set forth in this subparagraph (B), if the Company so requests or if the Applicable Procedures so require, an Opinion of Counsel in form reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that such exchange or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and that the restrictions on transfer contained herein and in the Private Placement Legend are no longer required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act. If any such transfer is effected pursuant to subparagraph (A) or (B) above at a time when an Unrestricted Global Note has not yet been issued, the Company shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.2, the Trustee shall authenticate one or more Unrestricted Global Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of beneficial interests exchanged or transferred pursuant to subparagraph (A) or (B) above. Beneficial interests in an Unrestricted Global Note cannot be exchanged for, or transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of, a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note. 24

Any Restricted Definitive Note issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall be registered in such name or names and in such authorized denomination or denominations as the holder of such beneficial interest shall instruct the Registrar through instructions from the Depositary and the Participant or Indirect Participant. The Registrar shall deliver such Restricted Definitive Notes to the Persons in whose names such Notes are so registered.

(iv) All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits hereof, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. (v) Neither the Trustee, the Registrar nor the Company shall be required (A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business on a Business Day 1 day before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes and ending at the close of 29

(viii) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.6 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile or electronic mail. (ix) Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Participants or Indirect Participants) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. (x) Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary. (xi) Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility or obligation to any Participant or Indirect Participant or any other Person with respect to the accuracy of the books or records, or the acts or omissions, of the Depositary or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any Participant or Indirect Participant or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under the Notes shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the customary procedures of the Depositary. The Trustee and the Agents may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its Participants or Indirect Participants. SECTION 2.7. Replacement Notes. If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar, or the Company and the Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Company shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements for replacements of Notes are met; provided, however, that the Registrar shall not deliver any Note as a replacement for a Note that has been mutilated or defaced otherwise than against surrender of the same and shall not issue any replacement Note until the Holder has furnished the Registrar with such evidence and indemnity as the Company and/or the Registrar may reasonably require. The Registrar shall cancel each mutilated or defaced Note surrendered to it in respect of which a replacement has been delivered. The Holder must supply indemnity or security sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, the Registrar, any Agent or any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if 30

a Note is replaced. The Company and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their cost and expenses in replacing a Note including amounts to cover any tax, assessment, fee or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto. Every replacement Note is an obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder. SECTION 2.8. Outstanding Notes. The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section 2.8 as not outstanding. If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.7 it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser in due course. If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 3.1, it shall cease to be outstanding and interest on it shall cease to accrue. Subject to Section 2.9 a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company, a Subsidiary of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note. SECTION 2.9. Treasury Notes. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of the Company shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Trust Officer actually knows to be so owned shall be so considered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Notes that are to be acquired by the Company, any Subsidiary or an Affiliate of the Company pursuant to an exchange offer, tender offer or other agreement shall not be deemed to be owned by the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of the Company until legal title to such Notes passes to the Company, such Subsidiary or such Affiliate, as the case may be. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company shall promptly furnish to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate listing and identifying all Notes, if any known by the Company to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company, and the Trustee shall be entitled to accept and rely upon such Officers’ Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all Notes not listed therein are outstanding for the purpose of any determination. SECTION 2.10. Temporary Notes. Until Definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of Definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company and the Trustee consider appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate Definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. Until such exchange, temporary Notes shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as Definitive Notes. SECTION 2.11. Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Registrar for cancellation along with a written order of the Company to cancel the Notes. The Trustee and Paying Agent shall forward to the Registrar any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Registrar shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of all canceled Notes in its customary manner.

SECTION 2.12. Payment of Interest and Defaulted Interest. Interest on any Note that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Payment Date shall be paid by the Paying Agent to the Person in whose name such Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the regular Record Date for such interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.3. Any interest on any Note that is payable, but is not paid when the same becomes due and payable and such nonpayment continues for a period of five days shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and any defaulted interest and (to the extent lawful) interest on such defaulted interest at the rate borne by the Notes (such defaulted interest and interest thereon herein collectively called “Defaulted Interest”) shall be paid by the Company in any lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. The Defaulted Interest shall be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (a) or (b) below: (a) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date (as defined below) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date (not less than 30 days after such notice unless a shorter period shall be acceptable to the Trustee) of the proposed payment (the “Special Interest Payment Date”), and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as provided in this clause. Thereupon the Company shall fix a record (the “Special Record Date”) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be not more than five days and not less than 10 days prior to the Special Interest Payment Date and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of such Special Record Date and, at the written request and in the name and at the expense of the Company, the Trustee shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date and Special Interest Payment Date therefore to be given in the manner provided for in Section 10.1, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Such Defaulted Interest shall be paid on the Special Interest Payment Date of the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (b). (b) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any security exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause (b), such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note. SECTION 2.13. CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. The Company in issuing the Notes may use one or more “CUSIP” and/or “ISIN” numbers (if then generally in use). The Trustee and the Agents shall not be 32

responsible for the use of CUSIP or ISIN numbers, and neither the Trustee nor any Agent makes any representation as to their correctness as printed on any Note or notice to Holders. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Agents in writing of any change in the CUSIP or ISIN numbers. SECTION 2.14. Paying Agent Provisions. The Company shall not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the second Business Day prior to the day on which the Paying Agent is to receive payment, procure that the bank effecting payment for it confirms via fax or tested SWIFT XX000 xxxxxxx xx xxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx xxx payment instructions relating to such payment. Prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day prior to each Payment Date, the Stated Maturity and each payment date relating to a Change of Control Offer, and on the Business Day immediately following any acceleration of the Notes pursuant to Section 6.2, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent in immediately available freely transferable funds money in dollars sufficient to make cash payments, if any, due on such day or date, as the case may be. Subject to actual receipt of such funds as provided by this Section 2.14 by the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent shall make payments on the Notes to the Holders on such day or date, as the case may be, to the Persons and in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Notes. All payments made by the Paying Agent shall be made net of any withholding that is required by applicable law to be made. Backup withholding will apply to payments of interest on the Notes and the proceeds of a sale (including retirement or redemption) of the Notes within the United States or conducted through certain United States-related persons, unless a beneficial owner of a Note qualifies for an exemption and has provided the Depositary with a properly executed IRS Form X-0, X-0XXX-X (or other applicable form). SECTION 2.15. Agents’ Interest. (a) The rights, powers, duties and obligations and actions of each Agent under this Indenture are several and not joint or joint and several. Each Agent shall only be obligated to perform the duties set forth in this Indenture and the Notes and shall have no implied duties. (b) The Agents shall act solely as agents of the Company and in no event shall be agents of the Holders. (c) Any obligation the Agents may have to publish a notice to Holders of Global Notes on behalf of the Company shall have been met upon delivery of the notice to the relevant clearing system. (d) The Company shall provide the Agents with a certified list of authorized signatories. ARTICLE III. Covenants SECTION 3.1. Payment of Notes. (a) The Company shall promptly pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes at the Interest Rate (subject to adjustment if a Step-up Event shall occur) on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes and in this Indenture. Principal, premium, if any, and interest shall be considered paid on the date due if by 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day prior to such date the Trustee or the Paying Agent holds in accordance with this Indenture money sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest then due and the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate specified therefor in the Notes. 33

(b) Any and all payments by or on behalf of the Company hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future Taxes, unless withholding is required by law. If the Company shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to, or in respect of, the Holders (i) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable to each Holder shall be increased by the amount necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.1(b)), such Holder shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Company shall make such deductions, and (iii) the Company shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. (c) In addition, the Company agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Indenture (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”). (d) The Company hereby indemnifies each Holder, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.1) payable or paid by such Holder or in respect of such Holder, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Holder and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Company by a Holder shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (e) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes withheld by the Company in respect of any payment to any Holder, the Company will furnish to the Holder the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof. (f) If a Holder shall become aware that it is entitled to receive a refund in respect of Indemnified Taxes, it shall promptly notify the Company of the availability of such refund and shall, within 30 days after receipt of a request by the Company, apply for such refund. If any Holder receives a refund or claims a credit or other tax benefit as a result of the payment of as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.1 by the Company, then the Holder shall promptly repay to the Company an amount equal to such refund, credit or other tax benefit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. SECTION 3.2. Reports. (a) Reports. Notwithstanding that the Company may not be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall provide to the Trustee and the registered Holders of the Notes, within 15 days of the applicable time periods specified in the relevant forms: 34

(i) all quarterly and annual financial information that would be required to be contained in a filing with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Company were required to file such Forms (but without any requirement to provide separate financial statements of any Subsidiary of the Company), including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and, with respect to the annual information only, a report on the annual financial statements by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm; and (ii) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if the Company were required to file such reports; provided, however, that to the extent such reports described in clauses (i) or (ii) are filed with the SEC and publicly available, such reports shall have been deemed to have been provided to the Holders and no additional copies need to be provided to the Holders; however, copies will still be delivered to the Trustee. In addition, the Company shall furnish or otherwise make available to the Holders and to prospective purchasers of the Notes designated by such Holders, upon request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act to the extent such Notes constitute “restricted securities” within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Company shall maintain a website to which all of the reports and press releases required by this Section 3.2(a) are posted (unless such reports are otherwise filed with the SEC). (b) So long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company will also: (i) within 15 Business Days after providing the annual and quarterly information required pursuant to Section 3.2(a) (or such earlier time as the Company determines), hold a conference call (the “Company Conference Call”) to discuss the results of operations for the relevant reporting period; and (ii) issue a press release to an internationally recognized wire service no fewer than three Business Days prior to the proposed date of the Company Conference Call, announcing the time and date of the Company Conference Call and either including all information necessary to access the call or directing Holders, prospective investors that certify that they are qualified institutional buyers, securities analysts and market makers to contact the appropriate person at the Company to obtain such information. The Company Conference Call may be part of or separate from any earnings or similar conference call relating to the financial results of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as long as such call otherwise meets the requirements of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii). (c) The Company shall furnish or otherwise make available, in the manner and subject to the limitations contained in the immediately succeeding paragraph, to the Holders and to prospective purchasers of the Notes designated by such Holders, true and complete copies of; (1) each Annual Statement and Quarterly Statement of each Insurance Subsidiary, filed with the respective Department, within five days of such filing; (2) the information required to be filed annually with the respective Department by each Insurance Subsidiary relating to such Insurance Subsidiary’s reinsurance program within 10 days of filing such information; (3) the Company’s required annual filing to Demotech, Inc. (“Demotech”) within 10 days of such filing with Demotech; (4) summary information regarding any material changes to the reinsurance program(s) of the Company’s Insurance Subsidiaries to enable Holders to assess the risk from catastrophic and non-catastrophic events within 10 days of implementing such material changes; and (5) such other information about the Company and its Subsidiaries as any of the Holders may reasonably request from time to time. 35

The foregoing information in this Section 3.2(c) shall be furnished or otherwise made available by the Company in electronic format by email or by posting to a password protected website, as determined by the Company, to Holders and prospective purchasers designated by Holders. Delivery of any reports, information and documents to the Trustee, including pursuant to this Section 3.2, is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute actual or constructive notice or knowledge of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants pursuant to Article III (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). SECTION 3.3. Limitation on Indebtedness. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, Incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) unless (a) no Event of Default is continuing and (b) the Debt to Capital Ratio of the Company as of the balance sheet date immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred would have been no greater than 35%, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom) as if the additional Indebtedness and all other Indebtedness incurred since the immediately preceding balance sheet date had been incurred, except to the extent such Indebtedness is used to prepay other Indebtedness and the proceeds therefrom applied as of such day. (b) The provisions of Section 3.3(a) shall not apply to the Incurrence of the following Indebtedness: (i) Indebtedness of the Company evidenced by the Notes, and any exchange notes issued in exchange for such Notes pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement; (ii) any Indebtedness outstanding on the Issue Date and any Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred in respect of such Indebtedness, and any Indebtedness Incurred that is used to redeem the Notes in accordance with the terms hereof; (iii) Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument, including, but not limited to, electronic transfers, wire transfers and commercial card payments drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business (except in the form of committed or uncommitted lines of credit); provided, however, that such Indebtedness is extinguished within 10 Business Days of Incurrence; (iv) Indebtedness owed to banks and other financial institutions Incurred in the ordinary course of business of the Company and its Subsidiaries with such banks or financial institutions that arise in connection with ordinary banking arrangements to provide treasury services or to manage cash balances of the Company and its Subsidiaries; (v) Indebtedness owed by the Company to any Subsidiary or owed by any Subsidiary to the Company or another Subsidiary; (vi) Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary in a total maximum not to exceed $10,000,000 outstanding at any time, provided that on the date any such Indebtedness is incurred, and after giving effect thereto on a pro forma basis, no Default has occurred and is continuing (or would result therefrom), including pro forma compliance with any financial covenant ratios applicable to the Notes; 36

(vii) Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary to the extent that the net proceeds thereof are promptly deposited to defease all of the Notes in accordance with Article VIII, provided that (1) such Indebtedness (x) is subordinate to any Notes not so defeased and (y) has a maturity date subsequent to any Notes not so defeased and (2) unless all of the Notes are defeased, such Indebtedness shall not be issued by any Subsidiary of the Company. (c) For purposes of determining compliance with, and the outstanding principal amount of any particular Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to and in compliance with, this Section 3.3: (i) in the event that Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in Section 3.3(b) or could be Incurred pursuant to Section 3.3(a) the Company, in its sole discretion, may divide and classify such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) on the date of Incurrence and may later reclassify such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this Section 3.3 and only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness once; (ii) Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to, Indebtedness that is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included; (iii) Indebtedness permitted by this Section 3.3 need not be permitted solely by reference to one provision permitting such Indebtedness but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this Section 3.3 permitting such Indebtedness; and (iv) the amount of Indebtedness issued at a price that is less than the principal amount thereof shall be equal to the amount of the liability in respect thereof determined in accordance with GAAP. Accrual of interest, accrual of dividends, the accretion of accreted value or the amortization of debt discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness and the payment of dividends in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock shall not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 3.3. The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date shall be (i) the accreted value thereof in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount or the aggregate principal amount outstanding in the case of Indebtedness issued with interest payable-in-kind, (ii) the principal amount or liquidation preference thereof, together with any interest thereon that is more than five days past due, in the case of any other Indebtedness, (iii) in the case of the guarantee by a specified Person of Indebtedness of another Person, the maximum liability to which the specified Person may be subject upon the occurrence of the contingency giving rise to the obligation and (iv) in the case of Indebtedness of others guaranteed solely by means of a Lien on any asset or property of the Company or any Subsidiary (and not to their other assets or properties generally), the lesser of (x) the Fair Market Value of such asset or property on the date on which such Indebtedness is Incurred and (y) the amount of the Indebtedness so secured. (d) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness; provided that if such Indebtedness is Incurred to Refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such Refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. 37

dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being Refinanced plus the amount of any reasonable premium (including reasonable tender premiums), defeasance costs and any reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of such new Indebtedness. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.3 the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company and its Subsidiaries may Incur pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to Refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being Refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Refinancing Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such Refinancing. SECTION 3.4. Limitation on Restricted Payments. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly: (a) declare or pay any dividend on or in respect of, its Capital Stock or purchase, redeem, retire or otherwise acquire for value any Capital Stock of the Company (other than wholly in exchange for Capital Stock of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock)); or (b) make any payment or other distribution on any other securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that rank junior to or pari passu with the Notes, including on any Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (all such payments and other actions under (a) and (b), a “Restricted PaymentError! Bookmark not defined.”); unless, with respect to either clause (a) or clause (b), at the time of, and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment on a pro forma basis, (i) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or would reasonably be expected to result therefrom); and (ii) the Company’s Debt to Capital Ratio would be less than 35%. SECTION 3.5. Limitation on Liens. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to create, assume, incur or permit to exist any Indebtedness (including any Guarantee of Indebtedness) that is secured by a Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on (a) the Capital Stock of any Significant Subsidiary or (b) the Capital Stock of a Subsidiary that owns, directly or indirectly, the Capital Stock of any of the Significant Subsidiaries, without, in either case, providing that the Notes will be secured equally and ratably with the Indebtedness so secured for so long as such Indebtedness shall be so secured; provided that this limitation shall not apply to (i) Liens on Capital Stock of a Subsidiary existing as of the Issue Date if such Subsidiary shall thereafter become a Significant Subsidiary, or any renewal or extension of such existing Liens, or (ii) Liens on Capital Stock or other securities of Subsidiaries that are not Significant Subsidiaries. SECTION 3.6. Maintenance of Reinsurance Coverage. The Company shall, and shall cause each of its Insurance Subsidiaries to purchase and maintain through to, and including while any Notes are outstanding, reinsurance from reinsurers with a minimum financial strength rating of “A-” by A.M. Best Company or “A-” by Standard and Poor’s, unless such reinsurance limits have been fully collateralized by the applicable reinsurer. Additionally, the Company’s Insurance Subsidiaries shall purchase and maintain through to, and including while any Notes are outstanding, reinsurance coverage on the business each of them has underwritten that satisfies each of the following: 38

(a) such reinsurance coverage shall at least equal that determined to be adequate by the Department with jurisdiction over its business and such other jurisdictions in which it is licensed as an insurer; (b) such reinsurance coverage, with respect to catastrophe coverage for first event losses, shall provide full coverage to a level equal to or greater than a 1:100 probable maximum loss (“PML”) from the occurrence exceedance probability curve projected to September 30th for the current reinsurance treaty year determined by a 50/50 blend of the U.S. hurricane models of AIR Worldwide Corporation (“AIR”) and Risk Management Solutions, Inc. (“RMS”) publicly available at the date of inception of the relevant reinsurance renewal term based on the long-term modeling output and excluding demand and storm surge subject to the maximum retention specified in paragraph (d), provided that the amount of such first event limit shall be based on Florida exposure only, except if the combined PML for the United States and other jurisdictions in which any Insurance Subsidiary writes property business exceeds the PML for the Company’s Florida-only exposure at the 1 in 100 year blended return period by 10% or more, in which case the Company will purchase excess of loss reinsurance to such combined PML (except that the combined PML will exclude states, other than Florida, where the Company purchases separate excess of loss reinsurance coverage up to the 1 in 100 year return period); (c) such reinsurance, with respect to catastrophe coverage for second event losses, shall provide full coverage to a level equal to or greater than a 1:50 PML from the occurrence exceedance probability curve determined by AIR or RMS, using the long-term modeling output and excluding demand and storm surge subject to the maximum retention specified in paragraph (d) below; and (d) the Company’s catastrophe reinsurance program shall have a U.S. dollar maximum retention per catastrophe event, in connection with the 1:100 and 1:50 levels specified in paragraph (b) and (c) above, of no greater than 15% of the Company’s Consolidated Capital at the preceding March 31. SECTION 3.7. Maintenance of Insurance Subsidiaries. The Company shall cause each of its Insurance Subsidiaries to (i) be duly organized and licensed or otherwise eligible to conduct an insurance or a reinsurance business, as the case may be, under the insurance statutes and regulations as applied by the relevant insurance regulatory authorities in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business requires such licensing or eligibility, (ii) have all other necessary authorizations, approvals, orders, consents, certificates, permits, registrations and qualifications of and from all insurance regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses and (iii) comply with all applicable insurance laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Insurance Subsidiaries, except in the case of this clause (iii) where such non-compliance would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken together. SECTION 3.8. Change of Control. (a) If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (in integral multiples of $10,000) of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the then principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Payment Date). 39

(b) Within 15 days following any Change of Control the Company shall mail or electronically deliver a notice (the “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder at the address appearing in the note register, with a copy to the Trustee, stating: (i) that a Change of Control Offer is being made and that such Holder has the right to require the Company to purchase such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of such Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Payment Date) (the “Change of Control Payment”); (ii) the repurchase date (which shall be no earlier than 15 days nor later than 45 days from the date such notice is mailed or delivered) (the “Change of Control Payment Date”); (iii) the procedures determined by the Company, consistent with this Indenture, that a Holder must follow in order to have its Notes repurchased; (iv) that any Notes not tendered will continue to accrue interest in accordance with the terms of the applicable Note and this Indenture; (v) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest on the Change of Control Payment Date; (vi) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Notes delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is unconditionally withdrawing its election to have such Notes purchased; and (vii) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to the then remaining balance of principal amount per Note. (c) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful: (i) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent or tender agent for such Change of Control Offer an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes so tendered; and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company. (d) The Paying Agent or tender agent for such Change of Control Offer shall promptly pay to each Holder of Notes so tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and upon receipt of an Authentication Order the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes 40

surrendered, if any; provided that each such new note will be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000. (e) The Change of Control provisions described above shall be applicable whether or not any other provisions of this Indenture are applicable. (f) The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (i) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer or (ii) a notice of redemption for all of the outstanding Notes has been given pursuant to this Indenture unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the proposed Redemption Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making the Change of Control Offer. (g) The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations thereunder in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a dispute between the Company and any Holders, a Default or an Event of Default, the Company shall make available to the Trustee or any Holder, at the Company’s relevant facilities during normal business hours, upon reasonable notice by the Trustee or any Holder, its books and records and the books and records of any of its Subsidiaries. If a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, promptly upon request therefor, the Company shall provide access to the Trustee, any of its agents or designees or any Holder, to books and records reflecting activity relating to the Notes though the close of business on the immediately preceding Business Day. Any such inspection shall be at the expense of the Company. In addition, at reasonable times during business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, the Company shall make available to the Holders or one or more representatives appointed by such Holders, by teleconference call, members of senior management and the independent auditor of the Company and its Subsidiaries to discuss the business, operations, properties and financial and other condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries as reasonably requested.

The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 30 days after the end of each fiscal quarter of the Company (commencing with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2019) an Officers’ Certificate stating whether or not the signers know of any Default or Event of Default 41

SECTION 3.12 Material Defaults. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries shall not have failed to perform (and not cured within the applicable grace or cure period) any material payment or other obligation that arises under any agreement or instrument that is material to conduct of business of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, except for any obligation disputed by the Company or its Subsidiaries in good faith (provided that the Holders are not materially adversely affected by any such dispute).

(b) Without compliance with Section 4.1(a)(iii): (i) any Subsidiary may consolidate with, merge with or into or to the Company or another Subsidiary so long as no Capital Stock of the Subsidiary is distributed to any Person other than the Company or such other Subsidiary, as applicable, and (ii) the Company may merge with an Affiliate of the Company solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Company in another jurisdiction to realize tax or other benefits, so long as the amount of Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries is not increased thereby; provided that, in the case of a Subsidiary that merges into the Company, the Company shall not be required to comply with the preceding Section 4.1(a)(iv).

Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee of Optional Redemptions. If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to Section 5.1 the Company shall furnish to the Trustee, at least 5 Business Days before notice of redemption is required to be mailed or caused to be mailed to Holders pursuant to Section 5.4 an Officers’ Certificate setting forth (a) the paragraph or subparagraph of such Note and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (b) the Redemption Date (as defined below), (c) the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (d) the redemption price. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee such documentation and records as shall enable the Trustee to select the Notes to be redeemed pursuant to Section 5.3. SECTION 5.3. Selection by Registrar of Notes to Be Redeemed. In the case of any partial redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made, in the case of Global Notes, in accordance with Applicable Procedures, and in the case of definitive notes by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the applicable depository and the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed (as advised by the Company to the Registrar) or, if the Notes are not listed, then on as nearly a pro rata basis as possible or by lot or such other similar method in accordance with the Applicable Procedures (subject to such rounding as may be necessary so that Notes are redeemed in integral multiples of the then remaining balance of principal amount per Note or less if redeemed in part). If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption relating to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note in accordance with Section 5.7. The Registrar shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Notes selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to redemption of Notes shall relate, in the case of any Note redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Note which has been or is to be redeemed. 44

SECTION 5.4. Notice of Redemption. The Company shall mail or cause to be mailed by a recognized international mail carrier or otherwise electronically deliver or cause to be delivered, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to a date fixed for redemption (a “Redemption Date”); provided, however, that redemption notices may be mailed or delivered more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with Article VIII. At the Company’s written request, the Trustee shall give notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least five Business Days before notice of redemption is required to be mailed or caused to be mailed or otherwise electronically deliver or cause to be delivered to Holders pursuant to this Section 5.4 (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to by the Trustee), an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the following paragraph. All notices of redemption shall be prepared by the Company and shall state: (a) the Redemption Date, (b) the redemption price and the amount of accrued interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 5.6 if any, (c) if less than all outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the identification of the particular Notes (or portion thereof) to be redeemed, as well as the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be outstanding after such partial redemption, (d) in case any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice which relates to such Note shall state that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Note, the Holder shall receive, without charge, a new Note or Notes of authorized denominations for the principal amount thereof remaining unredeemed, (e) that on the Redemption Date the redemption price (and accrued interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 5.6) shall become due and payable upon each such Note, or the portion thereof, to be redeemed, and, unless the Company defaults in making the redemption payment, that interest on Notes called for redemption (or the portion thereof) shall cease to accrue on and after said date, (f) the place or places where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price and accrued interest, if any, (g) the name and address of the Paying Agent, (h) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price, (i) the number, and that no representation is made as to the accuracy or correctness of the number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes, and (j) the Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes are to be redeemed. SECTION 5.5. Deposit of Redemption Price. Prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if 45

the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.4) an amount of money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest on, all the Notes which are to be redeemed on that date. SECTION 5.6. Notes Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Notes so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the redemption price therein specified (together with accrued interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date) and such Notes shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Note for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Note shall be paid by the Company at the redemption price, together with accrued interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date (subject to the rights of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Payment Date). If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal (and premium, if any) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by the Notes. If a Redemption Date is on or after a Record Date and on or before the related Payment Date, the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall be paid to the Person in whose name the Note is registered at the close of business on such Record Date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders whose Notes shall be subject to redemption by the Company. SECTION 5.7. Notes Redeemed in Part. Any Note which is to be redeemed only in part (pursuant to the provisions of this Article) shall be surrendered at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.3 (with, if the Company so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder of such Note at the expense of the Company, a new Note or Notes, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Note so surrendered, provided that each such new Note shall be in a minimum principal amount of the Notes not subject to redemption. SECTION 5.8. Special Mandatory Redemption. In the event that the transaction contemplated by that certain Equity Purchase Agreement dated as of February 25, 2019 by and between the Company, 1347 Property Insurance Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, Maison Managers, Inc., a Delaware corporation, Maison Insurance Company, a Louisiana corporation, and Claimcor, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (the “Acquisition Agreement”), is not consummated on or prior to December 31, 2019, or if prior to December 31, 2019 the Acquisition Agreement is terminated, or if the Company otherwise publicly announces that the transaction contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement will not be consummated (the earlier of (i) such date of termination or announcement or (ii) December 31, 2019 is referred to herein as the “Special Mandatory Redemption Trigger Date”), then, except as set forth in a Holder’s related Note Purchase Agreement, the Company shall redeem such Holders’ Notes at a redemption price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes, if any, to but excluding the applicable redemption date. Such redemption shall be effected in accordance with Sections 5.4, 5.5 and 5.6 hereof, except that: (a) the notice provided for in Section 5.4 shall be sent or mailed to such Holder not later than 15 days following the Special Mandatory Redemption Trigger Date and no less than 10 days prior to the date fixed for such redemption by the Company (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Date”), and (b) the Special Mandatory Redemption Date shall be not later than 30 days following the Special Mandatory Redemption Trigger Date. 46

(vii) the occurrence of any of the following events with respect to the Company or a Subsidiary, and, in each case, such event remains undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days: (A) commences a voluntary case or proceeding with respect to itself; (B) is subject to delinquency proceedings or similar regulatory intervention by the applicable Department in connection with the supervision of such Insurance Subsidiaries business; 47

(C) an Insurance Subsidiary fails to maintain minimum capital and surplus as required by the applicable Department with jurisdiction over the Insurance Subsidiary’s business; (D) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case or proceeding; (E) consents to the appointment of a Receiver (as defined below) of it or for substantially all of its property; or (F) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or takes any comparable action under any foreign laws relating to insolvency; (viii) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that: (A) is for relief against the Company or any Subsidiary in an involuntary case; (B) appoints a Receiver of the Company or any Subsidiary for any substantial part of its property; or (C) orders the winding up or liquidation of the Company or any Subsidiary; (ix) failure by the Company or any Subsidiary to pay final and non-appealable judgments aggregating in excess of $1,000,000 (net of any amounts that are covered by insurance, pursuant to which the insurer has not contested coverage), which judgments remain unsatisfied or undischarged for any period of 30 consecutive days during which a stay of enforcement of such judgments shall not be in effect; or (x) breach by the Company in any material respect any representation, warranty or covenant made to the Holders by the Company in the Note Purchase Agreement, and in the case of any such covenant such breach shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after the earlier of (i) written notice to the Company from any Holder of Notes and (ii) the date on which the Board of Directors of the Company obtains actual knowledge of such breach. The foregoing shall constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a default under clauses (iv), (v) or (x) of this Section 6.1(a) shall not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes notify the Company in writing of the default and the Company does not cure such default within the time specified in clause (iv), (v) or (x) of this paragraph after receipt of such notice. Such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a “Notice of Default.” The term “Bankruptcy Law” means Xxxxx 00, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Code, or any similar federal or state law for the relief of debtors. The term “Receiver” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law. 48

SECTION 6.2. Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(a)(i), (ii), (vii) or (viii) with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, by notice in writing to the Company and the Trustee specifying the Event of Default and that it is a “notice,” and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Notes to be due and payable. If an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(i) or (ii) occurs and is continuing, the Holder as to which such Event of Default occurred may make such declaration with respect to such Holder’s Notes. Upon such a declaration, such principal, premium and accrued and unpaid interest due on such Notes shall, subject to Section 6.4, be immediately due and payable. In the event of a declaration of acceleration because an Event of Default set forth in Section 6.1(a)(vi) above has occurred and is continuing, such declaration of acceleration of Notes shall be automatically rescinded and annulled if the default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(vi) shall be remedied or cured by the Company or a Subsidiary or waived by the holders of the relevant Indebtedness within 15 days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto and if (1) the rescission and annulment of the acceleration of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default, except nonpayment of principal, premium or interest on the Notes that became due solely because of the acceleration of such Notes, have been cured or waived. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(a)(vii) or (viii) with respect to the Company occurs and is continuing, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Notes shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. SECTION 6.3. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee, acting at the direction of the Holders of at least a majority of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision relating to the Notes and this Indenture (including sums owed to the Trustee, the Agents, and their agents and counsel). The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding, provided the Trustee provides evidence of the Holders’ direction. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative. SECTION 6.4. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes) by notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences (except a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium or interest on a Note) and rescind any such acceleration and its consequences if (1) rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived; provided, however, that with respect to a Default or Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(i) or (ii), the Holder as to which such Event of Default occurred may waive such Default or Event of Default with respect to such Holder’s Notes. SECTION 6.5. Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Notes. However, the Trustee, as the case may be, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, the Notes, or, subject to Sections 7.1 and 7.2, that the Trustee determines is 49

unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or would involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. Prior to taking any action under this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnity, security and/or prefunding satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses, liabilities and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action. SECTION 6.6. Limitation on Suits. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless: (a) the Holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice stating that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (b) the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes outstanding have made a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; (c) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee security, indemnity and/or prefunding satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense; and (d) the Trustee has not complied with the request within 15 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security and/or indemnity. No Holder may use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder. SECTION 6.7. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on the Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Notes, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. SECTION 6.8. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(a)(i) or (ii) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee, at the written direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amounts of the Notes then outstanding, may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on any unpaid interest to the extent lawful) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.6. SECTION 6.9. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and the Agents (including any claim for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, the Agents and their agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective creditors or properties and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make payments to the Trustee and the Agents and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee and the Agents any amount due it for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, the Agent, their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee and the Agents under Section 7.6. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, the Agents, their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Trustee and the Agents under Section 7.6 out of the estate in any proceeding shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same 50

shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holder may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan or reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in such proceeding. SECTION 6.10. Priorities. The Trustee shall pay out any money or property received by it in the following order: First: to the Trustee and the Agents for amounts due to each of them under Section 7.6; and Second: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, respectively. The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10. At least 15 days before such record date, the Company shall mail to each Holder and the Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount to be paid. SECTION 6.11. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by the Company, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.7 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in outstanding principal amount of the Notes. ARTICLE VII. Trustee SECTION 7.1. Duties of Trustee. (a) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall only exercise any of its rights and powers under this Indenture and the Notes to the extent it has received from the Holders of a majority of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding written direction to do so; and provided further that the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have provided the Trustee indemnity, security and/or prefunding satisfactory to the Trustee in its sole discretion, as applicable, against loss, liability or expense. (b) Subject to subsection (a) above: (i) the Trustee and the Agents undertake to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee or the Agents; and (ii) in the absence of gross negligence or bad faith on its part, each of the Trustee or the Agents may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions 51

expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee under this Indenture and the Notes, as applicable. However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine the form of such certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture and the Notes, as the case may be (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). (c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its grossly negligent action, its own grossly negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that: (i) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.1; (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer or Trust Officers unless it is proved in a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction that the Trustee was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and (iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.5. (d) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may expressly agree in writing with the Company. (e) Money held by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. (f) No provision of this Indenture or the Notes shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. (g) Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 7.1, Section 7.2 and Section 7.6. (h) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless (i) so directed in writing by the Holders of a majority in the principal amount of the outstanding Notes and (ii) such Holders shall have provided to the Trustee, security, prefunding and/or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. SECTION 7.2. Rights of Trustee. (a) The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond or any other paper or documents believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person or Persons. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document. 52

(b) The Trustee may refer any question relating to the ownership of a Note or the adequacy or sufficiency of any evidence supplied in connection with the replacement of a Note to the Company for determination by the Company and rely upon any determination so made. (c) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on an Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. (d) The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent or attorney appointed with due care. (e) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided, however, that the Trustee’s conduct, respectively, does not constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined in a final and non- appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. (f) The Trustee may consult with professional advisors of its selection, and the advice or opinion of any such advisor with respect to matters relating to this Indenture or the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder or thereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of any such advisor. (g) The Trustee may engage or be interested in any financial or other transaction with the Company and/or any of their Affiliates and may act as freely as if it were not appointed under this Indenture. (h) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into any statement, warranty or representation, or the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond or other paper or document made or in connection with this Indenture; moreover, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into (i) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (ii) the occurrence of any default, or the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Indenture or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (iii) the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation. The recitals contained herein and in the Notes, except the Trustee's certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity, sufficiency or adequacy of this Indenture or of the Notes. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Notes or the proceeds thereof. The Trustee shall not be responsible to make any calculation with respect to any matter under this Indenture. The Trustee shall have no duty to monitor or investigate the Company's compliance with or the breach of, or cause to be performed or observed, any representation, warranty or covenant made in this Indenture. (i) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any matter including any Default or Event of Default except any Default or Event of Default of which a Trust Officer shall have received written notification from the Company or Holders at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture. 53

(j) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, punitive, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. (k) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee, the Registrar and each Agent in each of its capacities hereunder. (l) The Trustee may request that the Company deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture. (m) The permissive rights of the Trustee enumerated herein shall not be construed as duties. (n) The Company shall provide prompt written notice to the Trustee of any change to its fiscal year. (o) The Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to the performance, or monitor the compliance of the Company with respect to the covenants contained in Article III (as may be further amended by any supplemental indenture hereto). (p) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety with respect to the performance of its duties or the exercise of its powers under this Indenture. (q) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to do anything which, in its opinion, may be illegal or contrary to applicable law or regulation. SECTION 7.3. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, and may otherwise deal with the Company, the Subsidiaries or their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. In addition, the Trustee shall be permitted to engage in transactions with the Company; provided, however, that if the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest the Trustee must (i) eliminate such conflict within 90 days of acquiring such conflicting interest or (ii) resign. SECTION 7.4. Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the Notes or the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Company in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication or for the use or application of any funds received by any Paying Agent. SECTION 7.5. Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing and is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall cause to be provided to the Company and each Holder a written Notice of Default within 15 days after the Trustee obtains such knowledge. Except in the case of a Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of Trust Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders. 54

SECTION 7.6. Compensation and Indemnity. The Company shall pay to the Trustee and each Agent from time to time such compensation for its services as the parties shall agree in writing from time to time. Neither the Trustee’s compensation nor any Agent’s compensation shall be limited by any law on compensation, including with respect to the Trustee, any law of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee and each Agent upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses properly incurred or made by it, including, but not limited to, costs of collection, costs of preparing and reviewing reports, certificates and other documents, costs of preparation and mailing of notices to Holders and reasonable costs of counsel, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s or any Agent’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Company shall indemnify the Trustee and each Agent or any of their predecessors in each of their capacities hereunder, and each of their officers, directors, employees, counsel and agents, against any and all loss, liability or expense (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the administration of the Notes and this Indenture and the performance of their duties hereunder and thereunder, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture (including this Section 7.6) and the Notes and of defending itself against any claims (whether asserted by any Holder, the Company or otherwise). The Trustee and each Agent shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee or any Agent to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee or Agent may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee or any Agent through its own willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined in a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 7.6, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Notes. The right of the Trustee or an Agent to receive payment of any amounts due under this Section 7.6 shall not be subordinate to any other liability or indebtedness of the Company. The Company’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section and any lien arising hereunder shall survive the discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(a)(vii) or (viii) with respect to the Company, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. The obligation of the Company under this Section 7.6 shall survive satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee or an Agent. SECTION 7.7. Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Company with at least 30 days’ prior written notice. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes the then outstanding may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Company and the Trustee in writing 30 days in advance and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Company may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee in writing 30 days in advance if: (a) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent; (b) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; (c) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting; or 55

(d) the Trustee breaches this Indenture. If the Trustee resigns or is removed by the Company or by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding and such Holders do not reasonably promptly appoint a successor Trustee, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.6. If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the Notes may petition, at the Company’s expense, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.7 the Company’s obligations under Section 7.6 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. SECTION 7.8. Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee. In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture, any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have. SECTION 7.9. Agents. Any Agent may resign, without any liability for doing so, and be discharged from its duties under this Indenture at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice of such resignation to the Trustee and the Company. The Trustee or Company may remove any Agent at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice to any Agent. Upon such notice, a successor Agent shall be appointed by the Company, who shall provide written notice of such to the Trustee. Such successor Agent shall become the Agent hereunder upon the resignation or removal date specified in such notice. If the Company is unable to replace the resigning Agent within 30 days after such notice, the Agent may, in its sole discretion, deliver any funds then held hereunder in its possession to the Trustee (or its designee for such purposes) or may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Agent or for other appropriate relief. The costs and expenses (including its reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Agent in connection with such proceeding shall be paid by the Company. Upon receipt of the identity of the successor Agent, the Agent shall deliver any funds then held hereunder to the successor Agent, less the Agent’s fees, costs and expenses or other obligations owed to the Agent. Upon its resignation and delivery of any funds, the Agent shall be discharged of and from any and all further 56

obligations arising in connection with this Indenture, but shall continue to enjoy the benefit of Section 7.6. ARTICLE VIII. Discharge of Indenture; Defeasance SECTION 8.1. Discharge of Liability on Notes; Defeasance. (a) When (i) (x) the Company delivers to the Registrar all outstanding Notes (other than Notes replaced pursuant to Section 2.7) for cancellation or (y) all outstanding Notes not theretofore delivered to the Registrar for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of making a notice of redemption pursuant to Section 5.4 or otherwise, or will become due and payable within one year or may be called for redemption within one year under arrangements pursuant to Article V and the Company irrevocably deposits or causes to be deposited with the Trustee or another entity designated by the Trustee for such purpose as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders in U.S. dollars, U.S. Government Obligations which mature prior to the Payment Date, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as shall be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on such Notes not theretofore delivered to the Registrar for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to, but excluding, the date of maturity or redemption; (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or shall occur as a result of such deposit (other than a default resulting from borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the grant of any Lien securing such borrowing) and such deposit shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound; (iii) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable on the date of deposit to the Trustee under this Indenture; and (iv) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of such Notes at maturity or the Redemption Date, as the case may be, then this Indenture shall, subject to Section 8.1(c) cease to be of further effect. (b) Subject to Sections 8.1(c) and 8.2 the Company at its option and at any time may terminate (i) all the obligations of the Company under the Notes and this Indenture (“legal defeasance”) or (ii) the obligations of the Company under Sections 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8 and 3.9, and the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant or provision, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or provision or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply with such covenants or provisions shall no longer constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.1(a)(iii), 6.1(a)(iv), 6.1(a)(v), 6.1(a)(vi), 6.1(a)(vii) (only with respect to its Subsidiaries), 6.1(a)(viii) (only with respect to its Subsidiaries) and 6.1(a)(ix) (clause (ii) being referred to as the “covenant defeasance option”) but except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and the Notes shall be unaffected thereby. The Company may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option. If the Company exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. If the Company exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(a)(iii), 6.1(a)(iv), 6.1(a)(v) (only with respect to the covenants subject to such covenant defeasance), 6.1(a)(vi), 6.1(a)(vii) (only with respect to its Subsidiaries), 6.1(a)(viii) (only with respect to its Subsidiaries) or 6.1(a)(ix). 57

Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request of the Company, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those obligations that the Company terminates. (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 8.1(a) and (b), the Company’s obligations in Sections 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.10, 2.12, 3.1, 6.7, 7.1, 7.2, 7.6, 7.7, 8.1(b) (with respect to legal defeasance), 8.3, 8.4, 8.5 and 8.6 shall survive until the Notes have been paid in full. Thereafter, the Company’s obligations in Sections 6.7, 7.6, 8.4 and 8.5 shall survive. SECTION 8.2. Conditions to Defeasance. The Company may exercise its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option only if: (a) the Company shall irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or another entity designated by the Trustee for such purpose, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, U.S. dollars or U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination of U.S. dollars and U.S. Government Obligations, in such amounts as shall be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, or interest and premium, if any, on the outstanding Notes issued hereunder on the Stated Maturity or on the applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular Redemption Date; (b) in the case of legal defeasance, the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, (i) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (ii) since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders shall not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such legal defeasance and shall be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such legal defeasance had not occurred; (c) in the case of covenant defeasance, the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders of the respective outstanding Notes shall not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and shall be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred; (d) such legal defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound; (e) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the grant of any Lien securing such borrowings); (f) the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that, assuming, among other things, no intervening bankruptcy of the Company between the date of deposit and the 91st day following the deposit and assuming that no Holder is an “insider” of the Company under applicable bankruptcy law, after the 91st day following the deposit, the trust funds shall not be subject to the effect of Section 547 of Title 11 of the United States Code; 58

(g) the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Company or others; and (h) the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions), each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the legal defeasance or the covenant defeasance have been complied with. SECTION 8.3. Application of Trust Money. The Trustee, or other entity, as applicable, shall hold in trust money or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to this Article VIII. It shall apply the deposited money and the money from U.S. Government Obligations through the Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes. SECTION 8.4. Repayment to Company. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in this Article VIII that are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect legal defeasance or covenant defeasance, as applicable. Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon written request any money held by them for the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes that remains unclaimed for two years, and, thereafter, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors. SECTION 8.5. Indemnity for U.S. Government Obligations. The Company shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee or other entity, as applicable, against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against deposited U.S. Government Obligations or the principal and interest received on such U.S. Government Obligations. SECTION 8.6. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article VIII by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or Governmental Authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Notes, shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article VIII until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article VIII; provided, however, that, if the Company have made any payment of interest on or principal of any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company, as the case may be, shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. ARTICLE IX. Amendments SECTION 9.1. Without Consent of Holders. This Indenture and the Notes may be amended or supplemented without notice to or consent of any Holder: (a) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency; (b) to comply with Article IV in respect of the assumption by a Successor Company of an obligation of the Company under this Indenture and the Notes; 59

(c) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; (d) to add Guarantees with respect to the Notes; (e) to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Holders, add Events of Default or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Company; (f) to comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with the qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, if applicable; or (g) to provide for the appointment of a successor trustee; provided that the successor trustee is otherwise qualified and eligible to act as such under the terms of this Indenture. After an amendment under this Section 9.1 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section. A consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver under this Indenture by any Holder given in connection with a tender of such Holder’s Note shall not be rendered invalid by such tender. Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Sections 7.2 and 10.2, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. SECTION 9.2. With Consent of Holders. This Indenture and the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes). Any past default or non-compliance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Notes may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes). However, without the written consent of each Holder of an outstanding Note affected thereby, no amendment, supplement or waiver may: (a) reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment; (b) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest on any Note; (c) reduce the principal of or extend the Stated Maturity of any Note; (d) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on the Notes issued hereunder (except a rescission of acceleration of Notes issued hereunder by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes with respect to a nonpayment default and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration); (e) change the time at which any Note may be redeemed in accordance with Article V whether through an amendment or waiver of provisions in the covenants or otherwise; 60

(f) make any Note payable in a currency other than that stated in the Note; (g) impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on such Holder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes; (h) make any change in the amendment provisions in this Section 9.2; or (i) make the Notes subordinated in right of payment to any other obligations. It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or supplement, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. A consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver under this Indenture by any Holder given in connection with a tender of such Holder’s Note shall not be rendered invalid by such tender. SECTION 9.3. Effect of Consents and Waivers. A consent to an amendment, supplement or a waiver by a Holder of a Note shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Note or portion of the Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Note. After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder. An amendment or waiver made pursuant to Section 9.2 shall become effective upon receipt by the Trustee of the requisite number of written consents. The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed (and notice of such date shall have been provided to the Trustee), then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or revoke such consent or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. SECTION 9.4. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. If an amendment changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Note to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Note regarding the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Note shall issue, and upon receipt of an Authentication Order the Registrar shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Note shall not affect the validity of such amendment. SECTION 9.5. Trustee to Sign Amendments. Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Sections 7.2 and 10.2, the Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment, supplement or waiver does not, in the sole determination of the Trustee, adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. In signing any amendment, supplement or waiver pursuant to this Article IX the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Sections 7.1 and 7.2) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by or complies with this Indenture and that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions. 61

Any notice or communication mailed to a Holder shall be mailed to the Holder at the Holder’s address as it appears on the registration books of the Registrar and shall be sufficiently given if so mailed within the time prescribed. Failure to mail a notice or communication to a Holder or any defect in it shall not affect its sufficiency with respect to other Holders.
