ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS

Section 1.1 Definition of Terms.

Unless otherwise provided herein or unless the context otherwise requires:

(a) a term defined in the Base Indenture has the same meaning when used in this Fourth Supplemental Indenture;

(b) a term defined anywhere in this Fourth Supplemental Indenture has the same meaning throughout;

(d) headings are for convenience of reference only and do not affect interpretation;

(e) if any provision of the Applicable Supervisory Regulations referred to in this Fourth Supplemental Indenture or in the Subordinated Notes in connection with any requirements applying to the Guarantor and/or the Insurance Group is amended or replaced so that there is no corresponding provision in the amended or replacement measures, (i) if the requirement concerned is entirely dependent on the existence of such a corresponding provision, the requirement shall cease to apply and (ii) if the requirement concerned is partially dependent on the existence of such a corresponding provision, the requirement shall be deemed modified so that all parts of that requirement solely dependent on that provision shall cease to apply; provided, in each case, that Holders of the Subordinated Notes are not adversely affected thereby; and

(f) the following terms have the meanings given to them in this Section 1.1(f):

“Additional Amounts” has the meaning set forth in Section 2.11(a).

“Additional Amounts Event” means, with respect to the Subordinated Notes, if an opinion of a recognized independent tax counsel has been delivered to the Trustee stating that the Company or the Guarantor has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts on the Subordinated Notes as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws (or any rules or regulations thereunder) of any Taxing Jurisdiction, or as a result of any change in or amendment to an official interpretation or application of any such laws, rules or regulations by any legislative body, court, governmental agency or regulatory authority (including the enactment of any legislation and the publication

of any judicial decisions or regulatory determination), which change or amendment becomes effective on or after the Issue Date and that obligation cannot be avoided by the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, taking such reasonable measures it (acting in good faith) deems appropriate.

“Applicable EURIBOR Rate” means the interest rate determined as follows:

(1) On the Interest Determination Date, the Calculation Agent will determine the Applicable EURIBOR Rate which shall be the rate for deposits in euros having a maturity of three months commencing on the Interest Determination Date that appears on the Reuters Screen EURIBOR01 Page as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date. “Reuters Screen EURIBOR01 Page” means the display designated on page “EURIBOR01” on Reuters (or such other page of Reuters as may replace the EURIBOR01 page or of an equivalent service or any successor service for the purpose of displaying euro-zone interbank offered rates for euro-denominated deposits of major banks). If the Applicable EURIBOR Rate on such Interest Determination Date does not appear on the Reuters Screen EURIBOR01 Page, the Applicable EURIBOR Rate will be determined as set forth in (2) below.

(2) With respect to an Interest Determination Date for which the Applicable EURIBOR Rate does not appear on the Reuters Screen EURIBOR01 Page as set forth in (1) above, the Applicable EURIBOR Rate will be determined on the basis of the rates at which deposits in euro are offered by four major banks in the euro-zone interbank market selected by the Company (the “Reference Banks”) at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date to prime banks in the euro-zone interbank market having a maturity of three months, and in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than €1,000,000 that is representative for a single transaction in such market at such time. The Calculation Agent, upon direction from the Company, will request the principal euro-zone office of each of such Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, the Applicable EURIBOR Rate on such Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean (rounded upwards) of such quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, the Applicable EURIBOR Rate on such Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean (rounded upwards) of the rates quoted by three major banks in the euro-zone selected by the Company at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date for loans in euro to leading European banks, having a maturity of three months, and in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than €1,000,000 that is representative for a single transaction in such market at such time; provided, however, that if the banks so selected as aforesaid by the Company are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the relevant Floating Interest Rate for such Floating Rate Interest Period will be the Floating Interest Rate in effect on such Interest Determination Date.

During any Floating Rate Interest Period, the amount of interest for each day that the Subordinated Notes are outstanding (the “Daily Interest Amount”) will be calculated by dividing the Floating Interest Rate in effect for such day by 360 and multiplying the result by the principal amount of the Subordinated Notes. The amount of interest to be paid on the Subordinated Notes for any Floating Rate Interest Period will be calculated by adding the Daily Interest Amounts for each day in such Floating Rate Interest Period.

The Floating Interest Rate and amount of interest to be paid on the Subordinated Notes for each Floating Rate Interest Period will be determined by the Calculation Agent. The Calculation Agent will, upon the request of any Holder of the Subordinated Notes, provide the interest rate then in effect during any Floating Rate Interest Period with respect to the Subordinated Notes, and shall notify the Company of the Floating Interest Rate for each such Floating Rate Interest Period on the relevant Interest Determination Date. All calculations made by the Calculation Agent shall in the absence of manifest error be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Company and the Holders of the Subordinated Notes. So long as the Applicable EURIBOR Rate is required to be determined with respect to the Subordinated Notes, there will at all times be a Calculation Agent. In the event that any then acting Calculation Agent shall be unable or unwilling to act, or that such Calculation Agent shall fail to duly establish the Applicable EURIBOR Rate for any Floating Rate Interest Period, or that the Company proposes to remove such Calculation Agent, the Company shall appoint itself or another Person which is a bank, trust company, investment banking firm or other financial institution to act as the Calculation Agent.

ARTICLE II

CREATION OF THE SUBORDINATED NOTES

Section 2.1 Designation of Series.

Pursuant to the terms hereof and Sections 2.01 and 3.01 of the Base Indenture, the Company hereby creates a new series of its Securities designated as the Subordinated Notes and such Subordinated Notes shall be deemed “Securities” for all purposes under the Indenture. The Subordinated Notes shall exclude any other form of capital instrument which may be considered either “Tier 1-ancillary capital”, “Tier 1-basic capital”, “Tier-2 basic capital”, “Tier-3 basic capital” and “Tier 3-ancillary capital” as those terms are set out in the Applicable Supervisory Regulations (or, if the Applicable Supervisory Regulations do not refer to such terms, the nearest corresponding concepts (if any) under the Applicable Supervisory Regulations).

Section 2.2 Form of Subordinated Notes.

The Subordinated Notes shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto, which is incorporated herein and made part hereof.

Section 2.3 Payment of Interest.

(a) The Subordinated Notes will bear interest from the Issue Date or from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, as the case may be, to, but excluding, the Initial Par Redemption Date or earlier redemption of the Subordinated Notes as provided in this Fourth Supplemental Indenture, as the case may be, at the rate of 3.25% per annum payable annually in arrears on the Fixed Interest Payment Date, commencing on June 29, 2018, to the Persons in whose names the Subordinated Notes were registered at the close of business on the preceding June 14 (the “Fixed Interest Payment Record Date”), subject to deferral in accordance with Sections 2.3(d) and 2.3(e).

(b) Following the Initial Par Redemption Date, the Subordinated Notes will bear interest from the Initial Par Redemption Date or from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, as the case may be, to, but excluding, the Final Maturity Date or earlier redemption of the Subordinated Notes as provided in this Fourth Supplemental Indenture, as the case may be, at the Floating Interest Rate, payable quarterly in arrears on each Floating Interest Payment Date to the Persons in whose name the Subordinated Notes were registered at the close of business on the applicable Floating Interest Payment Record Date, subject to deferral in accordance with Sections 2.3(d) and 2.3(e). On the Final Maturity Date or earlier date of redemption, the Company will pay accrued and unpaid interest from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or provided for. If the

Final Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of interest and principal will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no interest will accrue for the period from and after the Final Maturity Date.

(c) Prior to the Initial Par Redemption Date, interest on the Subordinated Notes will be calculated on the basis of a day-count fraction equal to the actual number of days in the Interest Period divided by the actual number of days from and including the last date on which interest was paid on the Subordinated Notes (or the Issue Date if no interest has been paid on the Subordinated Notes) to but excluding the next scheduled Interest Payment Date, as the case may be. From the Initial Par Redemption Date, interest on the Subordinated Note will be calculable on the basis of a day-count fraction equal to the actual number of days elapsed in the relevant Interest Period divided by 360.

(d) So long as no Event of Default or Mandatory Deferral Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company may defer interest payments on the Subordinated Notes, from time to time, for one or more periods (each, an “Optional Deferral Period”). Any such accrued interest, the payment of which is so deferred, so long as such interest remains unpaid, will constitute Arrears of Interest on the Subordinated Notes and will be subject to Section 2.4. Prior to an Optional Deferral Period, the Company shall provide to the Trustee an Officerss Certificate identifying the beginning of the Optional Deferral Period and shall notify the Holders of the Subordinated Notes at least five Business Days before the first Interest Payment Date during the Optional Deferral Period. The Company may pay at any time all or any portion of the interest accrued to that point during an Optional Deferral Period and upon payment by the Company in full of all interest accrued during an Optional Deferral Period, the Optional Deferral Period shall be deemed to terminate.

(e) If, as of any Interest Payment Date, a Mandatory Deferral Event has occurred and is continuing or would occur if payment of interest accrued on the Subordinated Notes were made on such Interest Payment Date, the Company shall be required to defer payment of all (and not less than all) of the interest accrued on the Subordinated Notes as of such Interest Payment Date (a “Mandatory Deferral Period”). Any such accrued interest, the payment of which is so deferred, so long as such interest remains unpaid, will constitute Arrears of Interest on the Subordinated Notes and will be subject to Section 2.4. Prior to a Mandatory Deferral Period, the Company shall provide to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate identifying the beginning of the Mandatory Deferral Period and shall notify the Holders of the Subordinated Notes at least five Business Days before the first Interest Payment Date during the Mandatory Deferral Period unless the Mandatory Deferral Event occurs within such five Business Day period, in which case the Company shall so notify the Holders promptly following the occurrence of such Mandatory Deferral Event.

Section 2.4 Arrears of Interest.

(a) Any interest in respect of the Subordinated Notes not paid on an Interest Payment Date, together with any interest in respect of the Subordinated Notes not paid on an earlier Interest Payment Date will, so long as the same remains unpaid, constitute “Arrears of Interest” in respect of the Subordinated Notes. Arrears of Interest shall not themselves bear interest. Arrears of Interest on the Subordinated Notes shall remain payable for so long as it remains unpaid. Any reference in the Indenture or a Subordinated Note to principal, premium or interest in respect of the Subordinated Notes, any redemption amount and any other amounts in the nature of principal shall be deemed also to refer to any Arrears of Interest applicable to the Subordinated Notes that may be payable under the Indenture, and the express mention of the payment of Arrears of Interest applicable to the Subordinated Notes (if applicable) in any provision hereof shall not be construed as excluding Arrears of Interest applicable to the Subordinated Notes in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.

(b) So long as no Event of Default or Mandatory Deferral Event shall have occurred and be continuing, at the Company’s option, Arrears of Interest on the Subordinated Notes may be paid in whole or in part to the Persons in whose names the Subordinated Notes are registered as of the close of business on the 15th calendar day (whether or not such date is a Business Day) immediately preceding the date on which payment of such Arrears of Interest is to be made, at any time upon the expiration of not more than 15 nor less than 5 Business Days’ written notice to the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Holders of the Subordinated Notes to such effect (which written notice shall specify the amount of such Arrears of Interest).

(c) If not previously paid, Arrears of Interest with respect to the Subordinated Notes shall become due and payable, and shall be paid in whole (and not in part), on the earliest of:

(i) so long as no Event of Default or Mandatory Deferral Event has occurred and is continuing, the next Interest Payment Date for the Subordinated Notes that does not occur during an Optional Deferral Period; or

(ii) the Redemption Date of the Subordinated Notes in accordance with Article III; or

(iii) the date on which a Winding-Up occurs; or

(iv) the Final Maturity Date for the Subordinated Notes;

provided, that in the event of there being Arrears of Interest on the Final Maturity Date, such Arrears of Interest shall be paid before any repayment of principal.

Section 2.5 Initial Amount of Subordinated Notes.

(a) The Subordinated Notes initially will be issued in the aggregate principal amount of €500,000,000 and may, upon execution of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture, be executed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee for authentication, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver said Subordinated Notes in accordance with a Company Order.

Article X of the Base Indenture shall apply to the Subordinated Notes. The Subordinated Notes shall be entitled to the benefit of each of the covenants set forth in Article X of the Base Indenture and the following additional covenants:

(a) Additional Amounts Applicable to the Subordinated Notes. All amounts payable (whether in respect of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect of the Subordinated Notes (including payments under the related Guarantee) will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, levies, assessments or governmental charges (including interest, penalties and any liabilities with respect thereto) of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of any Taxing Jurisdiction, unless the withholding or deduction of such taxes, duties, levies, assessments or governmental charges is required by law. In that event, the Company or the Guarantor will pay, or cause to be paid, such additional amounts on the Subordinated Notes as may be necessary in order that the net amounts receivable by a Holder of the Subordinated Notes after such withholding or deduction (including any withholding or deduction from such payment of additional amounts) shall equal the respective amounts that would have been receivable by such Holder of the Subordinated Notes had no such withholding or deduction been required (“Additional Amounts”), except that no such Additional Amounts shall be payable on the Subordinated Notes in relation to any payment (including a payment made in connection with a redemption) in respect of any of the Subordinated Notes:

(i) to a Holder or a beneficial owner that would be able to avoid such withholding or deduction by complying with such Holder or beneficial owner’s statutory requirements or by making a declaration of non-residence or similar claim for exemption (including a claim under an applicable double taxation treaty) but, in either case, fails to do so, or is liable for such taxes, duties, levies, assessments or governmental charges in respect of such Subordinated Note by reason of such Holder or beneficial owner having some connection with (including, without limitation, being a citizen of, being incorporated or engaged in a trade or business in, or having a residence or principal place of business in) the Taxing Jurisdiction, other than (A) the mere holding of such Subordinated Note; (B) the receipt of principal, interest or other amount in respect of such Subordinated Note; or (C) the mere enforcement of rights with respect to such Subordinated Note;

(ii) presented for payment more than 30 days after the Relevant Date, except to the extent that the relevant Holder would have been entitled to such Additional Amounts on presenting the same for payment on or before the expiration of such period of 30 days;

(iii) to a fiduciary, a partnership or person who is not the beneficial owner of such Subordinated Note, if and to the extent that, as a result of an applicable tax treaty, no Additional Amounts would have been payable had the beneficiary, partner or beneficial owner owned such Subordinated Note directly;

(iv) on account of any inheritance, gift, estate, personal property, stamp, sales or transfer or similar taxes, duties, levies, assessments or similar governmental charges;

(v) on account of any taxes, duties, levies, assessments or governmental charges that are payable otherwise than by withholding from payments in respect of such Subordinated Note;

(vi) any taxes that are withheld or deducted pursuant to sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, any current or future regulations thereunder, official interpretations thereof, or agreements (including any intergovernmental agreement or any laws, rules or practices implementing such intergovernmental agreement) entered into in connection therewith; or

(vii) any combination of items (i) through (vi) above.

In the event that payments in respect of the Subordinated Notes are subject to withholding or deduction for or on account of any taxes, the Company or the Guarantor will (i) make any required withholding or deduction and (ii) remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction in accordance with applicable law. The Company and the Guarantor will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain certified copies of tax receipts evidencing the payment of any taxes so deducted or withheld from each relevant Taxing Jurisdiction imposing such taxes and will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide or make available such certified copies (or other documentary evidence establishing the payment of such taxes) to each Holder.

Any reference in the Indenture or a Subordinated Note to principal, premium or interest in respect of the Subordinated Notes, any redemption amount and any other amounts in the nature of principal shall be deemed also to refer to any Additional Amounts applicable to the Subordinated Notes that may be payable under the Indenture, and the express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts applicable to the Subordinated Notes (if applicable) in any provision hereof shall not be construed as excluding Additional Amounts applicable to the Subordinated Notes in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.

Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to the Indenture, if the Subordinated Notes require the payment of Additional Amounts, at least 30 days prior to each date on which any payments under or with respect to the Subordinated Notes are due and payable (unless such obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises shortly before or after the 30th day prior to such date, in which case it shall be promptly thereafter) the Company or its designee shall furnish to the Trustee, the Registrar and the Paying Agent an Officers’ Certificate stating the fact that such Additional Amounts will be payable, the amounts so payable, and any other information to enable the Trustee or such Paying Agent to pay such Additional Amounts to Holders on the payment date.

The Company or the Guarantor will pay any present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise in any jurisdiction from the execution, delivery or registration of the Subordinated Notes or any other document or instrument referred to therein (other than a transfer of the Subordinated Notes) or the receipt of any payments with respect to the Subordinated Notes, excluding any such taxes, charges or similar levies imposed by any jurisdiction outside the Taxing Jurisdictions in which a Paying Agent is located, other than those resulting from, or required to be paid in connection with, the enforcement of the Subordinated Notes, the Indenture or any other such document or instrument following the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Subordinated Notes, as applicable.

(b) Limitation on Restricted Payments During Optional Deferral Period. During any Optional Deferral Period, the Guarantor and the Company shall not, and shall cause their respective majority-owned subsidiaries not to (A) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any shares of the Guarantor’s outstanding equity securities or (B) make any payment of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, or repay, purchase or redeem any of the Guarantor’s or the Company’s indebtedness that ranks equal or junior in right of payment with the Subordinated Notes, provided that the restrictions set forth in (A) and (B) above shall not apply to:

(i) any dividend or other distribution on the equity securities of the Guarantor in other equity securities of the Guarantor or warrants, options or rights to acquire equity securities of the Guarantor and any cash payments in lieu of fractional securities issued in connection therewith;

(ii) any exchange, redemption or conversion of any class or series of equity securities of the Guarantor for or to any class or series of equity securities of the Guarantor;

(iii) any exchange, redemption, repayment, repurchase or conversion of any of the Company’s or the Guarantor’s indebtedness that ranks equal or junior in right of payment with the Subordinated Notes for (i) any class or series of equity securities of the Guarantor, the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries, (ii) warrants, options or rights to acquire equity securities of the Guarantor, the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries, or (iii) evidences of indebtedness or other obligations of the Company or the Guarantor that have the same ranking as the indebtedness being exchanged, redeemed, repaid or repurchased;

(v) repurchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of equity securities of the Guarantor pursuant to any employment contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of the current or former employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Guarantor, the Company or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates.

Section 2.12 Satisfaction and Discharge; Defeasance.

Article IV of the Base Indenture shall apply to the Subordinated Notes and the related Guarantee; provided that all references to “any debt securities of any series denominated in U.S. dollars” shall be replaced by “any debt securities of any series denominated in euros” and “U.S. Government Obligations” shall be replaced by “Federal Republic of Germany Obligations”; provided further that any applicable Conditions to Redemption shall be satisfied (i) in the case of a discharge of the Subordinated Notes, at the time of such discharge, and (ii) in the case of a defeasance of the Subordinated Notes, at the time of the deposit of cash or Federal Republic of Germany Obligations.

Article IX of the Base Indenture shall apply to the Subordinated Notes and the related Guarantee; provided that any amendment or modification to the Indenture or the Subordinated Notes shall require the prior consent of the BMA, if such consent is then required, and any amendment or modification made or purported to be made without such consent shall be void.

Section 2.14 No Rights of Set-off.

The Subordinated Notes shall not in any way give rise to any rights of set-off, recoupments or counterclaims against any claims and obligations of the Company, the Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries in the Insurance Group to any Person in whose names the Subordinated Notes are registered or any creditor of the Company, the Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries in the Insurance Group.

Section 2.15 Deferral of Distributions in the Event of Regulatory Breach.

For so long as the Guarantor or the Insurance Group is in breach of any applicable Solvency Capital Requirement, there shall be no distributions nor payments made pursuant to the Subordinated Notes, and such payments shall be deferred until such time as the applicable breach is rectified.

Section 2.16 Variation and Substitution of the Subordinated Notes.

(a) If a Specified Event occurs, the Company may, as an alternative to redemption of the Subordinated Notes, at any time, without the consent of any Holder, vary any term or condition of the Subordinated Notes or substitute all (but not less than all) of the Subordinated Notes for other Subordinated Notes, so that the varied Subordinated Notes or the substituted Subordinated Notes, as the case may be, become Qualifying Equivalent Securities.

The right of acceleration only applies upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 4.1(b). Any failure to pay principal of the Subordinated Notes when due as a result of any of the applicable Conditions to Redemption not being satisfied shall not constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture or the Subordinated Notes.

(d) Within 90 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder with respect to the Subordinated Notes or the failure of the Company or the Guarantor to comply with any term or condition under the Subordinated Notes or the Indenture with respect to the Subordinated Notes, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Subordinated Notes, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, notice of such Event of Default or such failure to comply that is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee. The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.1(d) replace the provisions of Section 6.02 of the Base Indenture.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Article IV to the contrary, the Trustee may, at its discretion and without further notice, institute such proceedings or take such steps or actions against the Company or the Guarantor as it may think fit to enforce any term or condition binding on the Company or the Guarantor under the of Subordinated Notes or the Indenture with respect to the Subordinated Notes (other than any payment obligation of the Company or the Guarantor under or arising from the Subordinated Notes or the Indenture with respect to the Subordinated Notes, including any payment of damages awarded for breach of any obligations thereunder) but in no event shall the Company or the Guarantor, by virtue of the institution of any such proceedings or the taking of such steps or actions, be obliged to pay any sum or sums, in cash or otherwise, sooner than the same would otherwise have been payable by it under the terms of the Subordinated Notes. Nothing in this Section 4.1(e) shall, however, (i) prevent the Trustee from proving in any Winding-Up or administration of the Company or the Guarantor and/or claiming in any liquidation of the Company or the Guarantor in respect of any payment obligation of the Company or the Guarantor, in each case where such payment obligation arises from the Subordinated Notes or the Indenture (including, without limitation, payment of any principal, interest (including Arrears of Interest) and any Additional Amounts in respect of the Subordinated Notes or any payment of damages awarded for breach of any obligations under the Subordinated Notes or the Indenture with respect to the Subordinated Notes), or (ii) impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, or interest (including Arrears of Interest) and any Additional Amounts on such Holder’s Subordinated 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 Subordinated Notes.

ARTICLE V

SUBORDINATION OF THE GUARANTEE

Pursuant to Section 11.01(a) of the Base Indenture, the provisions of this Article V and Article XI of the Base Indenture shall apply to the provisions of the Subordinated Notes.

Section 5.1 Agreement to Subordinate.

(a) The Guarantor covenants and agrees, and each Holder of Subordinated Notes, by such Holder’s acceptance thereof likewise covenants and agrees, that the Guarantee of the Subordinated Notes shall be subject to the provisions of this Article V; and each Holder of the Subordinated Notes whether upon original issue or upon transfer or assignment thereof, accepts and agrees to be bound by such provisions.

(b) The payment by the Guarantor of its obligations under the applicable Guarantee shall, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, whether outstanding at the date of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture or thereafter incurred.

(c) No provision of this Article V shall prevent the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Indenture or have any effect on the rights of the Holders of Subordinated Notes or the Trustee to make a demand for payment on the Guarantor pursuant to this article.

Section 5.2 Default on Guarantor Senior Indebtedness.

(a) No direct or indirect payment by or on behalf of the Guarantor in respect of the Guarantee of Subordinated Notes, whether pursuant to the terms of the applicable Guarantee or upon acceleration, by way of repurchase, redemption, defeasance or otherwise of the Subordinated Notes, will be made if, at the time of such payment, there exists a default in the payment when due of all or any portion of the obligations under or in respect of any Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, whether at maturity, on account of mandatory redemption or prepayment, acceleration or otherwise, and such default shall not have been cured or waived or the benefits of this sentence waived by or on of the holders of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness.

(b) In addition, during the continuance of any non-payment default or non-payment event of default with respect to any Guarantor Senior Indebtedness pursuant to which the maturity thereof may be accelerated, and upon receipt by the Trustee of written notice (a “Guarantor Payment Blockage Notice”) from a holder or holders of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness or the trustee or agent acting on behalf of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, then, unless and until such default or event of default has been cured or waived or has ceased to exist or such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness has been discharged or repaid in full in cash, or the requisite holders of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness have otherwise agreed in writing, no payment of any kind or character with respect to any principal of or interest on or distribution with respect to the Subordinated Notes will be made by or on behalf of the Guarantor on account of or with respect to the applicable Guarantee, during a period (a “Guarantor Payment Blockage Period”) commencing on the date of receipt of such Guarantor Payment Blockage Notice by the Trustee and ending 179 days thereafter.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) in no event will a Guarantor Payment Blockage Period extend beyond 179 days from the date the Guarantor Payment Blockage Notice in respect thereof was given and (y) there must be 180 days in any 360-day period during which no Guarantor Payment Blockage Period is in effect. Not more than one Guarantor Payment Blockage Period may be commenced with respect to the Guarantee of Subordinated Notes during any period of 360 consecutive days.

(c) Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Guarantor referred to in this article, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.01 of the Base Indenture, and the Holders of the Subordinated Notes shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending, or a certificate of the receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidation trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or the Holders of the Subordinated Notes, for the purposes of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Guarantor the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this article.

Section 5.6 Notice by the Company.

(a) The Guarantor shall give prompt written notice to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of any fact known to the Guarantor that would prohibit the making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee in respect of the Guarantee of the Subordinated Notes pursuant to the provisions of this article. Notwithstanding the provisions of this article or any other provision of the Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee in respect of the applicable Guarantee pursuant to the provisions of this article, unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the Guarantor or a Holder of the Subordinated Notes or holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness or from any representative or trustee therefor; and before the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.01 of the Base Indenture, shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided, however, that if the Trustee shall not have received the notice provided for in this Section 5.6 at least two Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any money may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of or interest on any Subordinated Note), then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such money and to apply the same to the purposes for which such money was received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary that may be received by it within two Business Days prior to such date.

(b) The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.01 of the Base Indenture, shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing himself to be a holder of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee or representative on behalf of such holder), to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness or a trustee or representative on behalf of any such holder or holders. In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this article, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this article and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment.

Section 5.7 Rights of the Trustee; Holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness.

(a) The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article V in respect of any Guarantor Senior Indebtedness at any time held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.

(b) With respect to the holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article V and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness shall be read into the Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.01 of the Base Indenture, the Trustee shall not be liable to any holder of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness if it shall pay over or deliver to Holders of the Subordinated Notes, the Guarantor or any other Person money or assets to which any holder of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this article or otherwise.

Section 5.8 Subordination May Not be Impaired.

(a) No right of any present or future holder of any Guarantor Senior Indebtedness to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Guarantor or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any

noncompliance by the Guarantor with the terms, provisions and covenants of the Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof that any such holder may have or otherwise be charged with.

(b) Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, the holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders of Subordinated Notes, without incurring responsibility to the Holders of the Subordinated Notes and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this article or the obligations hereunder of the Holders of the Subordinated Notes to the holders of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, do any one or more of the following: (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness is outstanding; (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness; (iii) release any Person liable in any manner for the collection of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising or waive any rights against the Guarantor and any other Person.

Section 5.9 Article Applicable to Paying Agents.

(a) In case at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company and be then acting under the Indenture, the term “Trustee” as used in this article shall in such case (unless the context otherwise requires) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in this article in addition to or in place of the Trustee; provided, however, that this Section 5.9 shall not apply to the Guarantor or any Affiliate of the Guarantor if it or such Affiliate acts as Paying Agent.

Section 5.10 Defeasance of This Article.

(a) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, payments from cash or the proceeds of Federal Republic of Germany Obligations held in trust under Article IV of the Base Indenture (as amended by Section 2.12 of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture) by the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) and which were deposited in accordance with the terms of Article IV of the Base Indenture and not in violation of Section 5.2 hereof for the payment of principal of and interest on the Subordinated Notes shall not be subordinated to the prior payment of any Guarantor Senior Indebtedness or subject to the restrictions set forth in this article, and none of the Holders of the Subordinated Notes shall be obligated to pay over any such amount to the Guarantor or any holder of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness or any other creditor of the Guarantor.

Each Holder by accepting a Subordinated Note agrees to such subordination and authorizes the Trustee to give it effect.”

Section 5.12. Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness and shall not be liable to any such holders if the Trustee shall in good faith mistakenly pay over or distribute to Holders of Subordinated Notes or to the Guarantor or to any other Person cash, property or securities to which any holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article V or otherwise. With respect to the holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants or obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article V and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness shall be read into the Indenture against the Trustee.

FIXED TO FLOATING RATE SUBORDINATED NOTES DUE 2047

XLIT Ltd., an exempted company duly incorporated and existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company,” which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to USB Nominees (UK) Limited, as nominee of Elavon Financial Services DAC, as common depositary for Clearstream Banking, société anonyme and Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., or their registered assigns the principal sum of euros (€ ), as such amount may be increased or decreased as set forth on the Schedule of Increases or Decreases in the Global Note annexed hereto, on June 29, 2047 (such date is hereinafter referred to as the “Scheduled Maturity Date”), and to pay interest thereon (including Arrears of Interest), from June 29, 2017, or from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, at the interest rates set forth in the Indenture to, but excluding, the relevant Interest Payment Date (as defined below), until the Final Maturity Date or earlier redemption.

Interest on this Subordinated Note initially shall be payable annually in arrears on June 29 of each year, commencing on to, but excluding, the Initial Par Redemption Date or earlier redemption. Following the Initial Par Redemption Date, interest on this Subordinated Note shall be payable quarterly in arrears on March 29, June 29, September 29 and December 29 of each year to, but excluding, the Final Maturity Date or earlier date of redemption. On the Final Maturity Date or earlier date of redemption, the Company will pay accrued and unpaid interest from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or provided for. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Subordinated Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Fixed Interest Payment Record Date or Floating Rate Interest Payment Record Date, as applicable, for such interest. The payment of interest on this Subordinated Note is subject to deferral in accordance with Sections 2.3(d) and 2.3(e) of the Indenture.

If, as of the Scheduled Maturity Date, the Conditions to Redemption have not been satisfied, final redemption of this Subordinated Note shall be deferred until the Final Maturity Date, pursuant to the redemption provisions.

Principal of and the interest on this Subordinated Note will be payable at the Corporate Trust Office; provided, however, that if a Holder has given wire transfer instructions to the Company and the Paying Agent and Security Registrar at least ten Business Days prior to the applicable payment date, principal of and the interest on this Subordinated Note will be payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified in such instructions.

Prior to the Initial Par Redemption Date, interest on this Subordinated Note will be calculated on the basis of a day-count fraction equal to the actual number of days in the Interest Period divided by the actual number of days from and including the last date on which interest was paid on the Subordinated Notes (or the Issue Date if no interest has been paid on the Subordinated Notes) to but excluding the next scheduled Interest Payment Date, as the case may be. From the Initial Par Redemption Date, interest on this Subordinated Note will be calculable on the basis of a day-count fraction equal to the actual number of days elapsed in the relevant Interest Period divided by 360.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Subordinated Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if fully set forth at this place.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by the manual signature of one of its authorized signatories, this Subordinated Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

The Subordinated Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons, in denominations of €100,000 and any integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Subordinated Notes so issued are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Subordinated Notes of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

Beginning on June 29, 2022 and ending on the Initial Par Redemption Date, and provided that the applicable Conditions to Redemption have been satisfied and will continue to be satisfied if the optional redemption payment were made on the Subordinated Notes, the Subordinated Notes may be redeemed, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the Company’s option, at a Redemption Price equal to accrued and unpaid interest (including Arrears of Interest) on the principal amount of Subordinated Notes being redeemed to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, and any Additional Amounts thereon, plus the greater of: (A) 100% of the principal amount of the Subordinated Notes to be redeemed, and (B) the sum of the Remaining Scheduled Payments, discounted to the Redemption Date on an annual basis at a rate equal to the sum of the Comparable Bond Rate plus 50 basis points.

Beginning on the Initial Par Redemption Date, and provided that the applicable Conditions to Redemption have been satisfied and will continue to be satisfied if the optional redemption payment were made on the Subordinated Notes, the Subordinated Notes may be redeemed, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the Company’s option, at a Redemption Price equal to accrued and unpaid interest (including Arrears of Interest) on the principal amount of Subordinated Notes being redeemed to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, and any Additional Amounts thereon, plus 100% of the principal amount of the Subordinated Notes to be redeemed.

At any time after the Issue Date, and provided that the applicable Conditions to Redemption have been satisfied and will continue to be satisfied after the redemption payment is made, the Subordinated Notes may be redeemed, in whole but not in part, at the Company’s option, if 80% or more in aggregate principal amount of the Subordinated Notes issued on the Issue Date (excluding any Subordinated Notes redeemed pursuant to Section 3.2(a) of the Fourth Supplemental Indenture) have been redeemed or purchased and cancelled at the time of such election, at a Redemption Price equal to accrued and unpaid interest (including Arrears of Interest) on the principal amount of Subordinated Notes being redeemed to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, and any Additional Amounts thereon, plus 100% of the principal amount of the Subordinated Notes to be redeemed.

The Subordinated Notes may be redeemed at the Company’s option and sole discretion, in whole but not in part, within 90 days following the occurrence of a Specified Event; provided that, at the time of such Specified

Event Redemption, the applicable Conditions to Redemption are satisfied and will continue to be satisfied after the redemption payment is made and, if not so satisfied, such Specified Event Redemption will be deferred until such time as the Conditions to Redemption are satisfied. The Subordinated Notes will be redeemed at a Redemption Price equal to the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest (including Arrears of Interest) on the Subordinated Notes being redeemed to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, and any Additional Amounts thereon.

If a Specified Event occurs, the Company may, as an alternative to redemption of the Subordinated notes, at any time, without the consent of any Holder, vary any term or condition of the Subordinated Notes or substitute all (but not less than all) of the Subordinated Notes for other Subordinated Notes, so that the varied Subordinated Notes or the substituted Subordinated Notes, as the case may be, become Qualifying Equivalent Securities.

No sinking fund is provided for the Subordinated Notes.

The Subordinated Notes and related Guarantee are subordinated in right of payment, in the manner and to the extent set forth in the Indenture, to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness or Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, as applicable. Each Holder by accepting a Subordinated Note agrees to such subordination and authorizes the Trustee to give it effect.

By purchasing the Subordinated Notes, each Holder is deemed to agree and acknowledge that the Subordinated Notes and the related Guarantee shall be subordinated to the claims of all Senior Creditors on the terms and to the minimum extent necessary under BMA regulatory requirements as in effect on the date hereof so as to permit the Subordinated Notes to qualify as Tier 2 Capital of the Guarantor or the Insurance Group. The subordination provisions above shall be given effect prior to (a) with respect to the Subordinated Notes, the application of the subordination provisions of Article XIV of the Base Indenture and (b) with respect to the Guarantee, the application of the subordination provisions of Article V of the Fourth Supplemental Indenture and Article XI of the Base Indenture.

In the case of an Event of Default described in Section 4.1(b) of the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, the entire principal amount of the Subordinated Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest (including Arrears of Interest) and any Additional Amounts thereon, will automatically become due and payable without any declaration or other action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. The right of acceleration only applies upon the occurrence of an Event of Default as described in Section 4.1(b) of the Fourth Supplemental Indenture. Any failure to pay principal of the Subordinated Notes when due as a result of any of the applicable Conditions to Redemption not being satisfied shall not constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture or the Subordinated Notes.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the Guarantor and the rights of the Holders of the Subordinated Notes at any time by the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee with the written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Subordinated Notes at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains, with certain exceptions as therein provided, provisions permitting Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Subordinated Notes at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Subordinated Notes, to waive compliance by the Company and the Guarantor with certain provisions of the Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Subordinated Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Subordinated Note and of any Subordinated Note issued in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Subordinated Note or such other Subordinated Note. Any amendment or modification to the Indenture or the Subordinated Notes shall require the prior consent of the BMA, if such consent is then required under the Group Supervision Rules and any amendment or modification made or purported to be made without such consent shall be void. The Company and the Guarantor, when authorized by Board Resolutions, and the Trustee, at any time and from time to time, may amend or supplement certain provisions relating to the BMA, without the consent of any Holder to the extent

determined reasonably necessary to comply with, or satisfy, regulations or requirements of the BMA relating to the Subordinated Notes, as determined by the senior management of the Issuer in good faith.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Subordinated Note shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless (i) such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default, (ii) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Subordinated Notes that are Outstanding shall have made a written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it, (iii) the Trustee shall have failed to institute any such proceeding for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, and (iv) the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Subordinated Notes that are Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such written request during such 60-day period. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by any Holder of this Subordinated Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

This Subordinated Note is entitled to the benefit of the Guarantee set forth in Article XI of the Base Indenture.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Subordinated Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Subordinated Note at the times, places and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Subordinated Note is registrable on the Security Register upon surrender of this Subordinated Note for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at such other office or agency of the Company as may be designated by it for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York (which shall initially be an office or agency of the Trustee), or at such other offices or agencies as the Company may designate, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Subordinated Notes, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees by the Security Registrar. No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to recover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
