W I T N E S E T H

WHEREAS, the Issuer has executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture (the “Original Indenture” and, together with this Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), dated as of October 16, 2020, providing for the issuance of $105,000,000 6.625% Fixed-Rate Reset Junior Subordinated Notes due 2041 (the “Existing Notes”);

WHEREAS, the Issuer has provided an Opinion of Counsel in a form satisfactory to the Trustee, and an Officer’s Certificate confirming that the issuance of New Notes is in accordance with the Indenture, each dated as of the date hereof;

WHEREAS, such New Notes are to become fully fungible with, constitute a single series of securities together with and have the same terms as the Existing Notes;

The Existing Notes and the New Notes shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under the Indenture and the New Notes will be fully fungible with the Existing Notes held through the Rule 144A Global Note(s) from the date of delivery of the New Notes.

3.     GOVERNING LAW. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WILL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE AND THE ADDITIONAL NOTES WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.
