THE NOTES

SECTION 301. TITLE AND TERMS.

The Notes shall be known and designated as the “5.250% Fixed-to-Fixed Rate Subordinated Notes due 2082” of the Company. The entire unpaid principal amount of each Note shall become due and payable to the Holder thereof on March 15, 2082 (the “Maturity Date”). Interest will accrue on the aggregate unpaid principal amount of each Note from, and including, February 11, 2022 to, but excluding, the Initial Interest Rate Reset Date at a rate of interest equal to 5.250% per annum. During each Interest Rate Reset Period, the Notes will accrue interest at a rate of interest per annum equal to the 5-Year Treasury Rate as of the most recent Interest Rate Calculation Date plus, (i) for the period from, and including, the Initial Interest Rate Reset Date to, but excluding, March 15, 2032, 3.590%, (ii) for the period from, and including, March 15, 2032 to, but excluding, March 15, 2047, 3.840% and (iii) for the period from, and including, March 15, 2047 to but excluding, the Maturity Date, 4.590%. The 5-Year Treasury Rate for computing interest on the outstanding Notes from and after the Initial Interest Rate Reset Date will initially be based on such rate as of the first Business Day prior to the Initial Interest Rate Reset Date and it will be reset on the fifth anniversary of the Initial Interest Rate Reset Date and, thereafter, on each subsequent date that is the fifth anniversary of

the immediately preceding date on which such rate is reset, based on the 5-Year Treasury Rate as of the first Business Day prior to each such fifth anniversary (each of the Initial Interest Rate Reset Date and each date thereafter that such rate is so reset, an “Interest Rate Reset Date”; and the Business Day prior to each Interest Rate Reset Date, an “Interest Rate Calculation Date”).

Interest shall accrue on the aggregate unpaid principal amount of each Note at the aforementioned rate(s), as applicable, from February 11, 2022 or, if interest has been paid or duly provided for, the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for. The Company has the right to defer interest payments pursuant to Section 303. Subject to the Deferral Right provided therein, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes shall be payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 in each year (each an Interest Payment Date for purposes of this Supplemental Indenture) (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, and no further interest will accrue in respect of such postponement), in equal installments, until the principal thereof is paid or duly provided for. Interest on the Notes shall be payable in arrears. The Record Date for the interest payable on any Interest Payment Date shall be March 1 or September 1, as applicable, immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date (such date, the “Record Date”). Except for the compounding of Deferred Interest provided for in Section 303, no interest shall accrue on any overdue installments of interest. No interest on the Notes will accrue or be payable after the Conversion Time. Interest on the Notes will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months and, for any period shorter than six months, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed per 30-day month. For the purposes of disclosure under the Interest Act (Canada), and without affecting the interest payable on the Notes, the yearly rate of interest to which any rate of interest payable under the Notes, which is to be calculated on any basis other than a full calendar year, is equivalent may be determined by multiplying the rate by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the calendar year in which the period for which interest at such rate is payable and the denominator of which is the number of days comprising such other basis.

An unlimited aggregate principal amount of the Notes may be authenticated and delivered under this Supplemental Indenture (of which U.S. $750,000,000 is being issued, authenticated and delivered on the date hereof), including Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Section 204, 205, 206, 207, 208, 806, 1008 or 1009 of the Indenture. Additional Notes ranking pari passu with the Securities issued on the date hereof may be created and issued under the Indenture from time to time by the Company without notice to or consent of the Holders, subject to the Company complying with any applicable provision of the Indenture. Any Additional Notes created and issued shall have the same terms and conditions as the Notes at the time outstanding, except for their date of issue, and, if applicable, the first Interest Payment Date, and shall be consolidated with and form a single Series with the Notes at the time outstanding for all purposes under the Indenture, including with respect to waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase; provided that, if any such Additional Notes are not fungible with the

Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional Notes will have a separate CUSIP, ISIN or other identifying number.

The Notes shall be unsecured, subordinated obligations of the Company. The payment of principal and interest on the Notes is subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all present and future Senior Indebtedness to the extent and in the manner provided in Article Seven.

The Notes shall be denominated in, and all principal of, and interest and premium (if any) on, the Notes shall be payable in U.S. dollars. Any payment of Additional Amounts hereunder shall also be payable in U.S. dollars.

The Notes may be redeemed at the option of the Company at the prices, at the times and on such other terms and conditions as are specified in Article Four hereof. The Company shall not be obligated to redeem, purchase or repay the Notes pursuant to any sinking fund or analogous provisions or at the option of a Holder of the Notes.

The Notes shall be subject to the covenants (and the related definitions) set forth in Articles Seven and Nine of the Indenture and, except as otherwise provided herein, to any other covenant in the Indenture, and to the defeasance and discharge provisions set forth in Article Three of the Indenture.

SECTION 302. DENOMINATIONS.

The Notes shall be issuable only in fully registered form without coupons and in denominations of U.S.$2,000 or integral multiples of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof.

SECTION 303. DEFERRAL RIGHT.

So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company may elect, at its sole option, at any date other than an Interest Payment Date, to defer the interest payable on the Notes (the “Deferral Right”) on one or more occasions for up to five consecutive years (a “Deferral Period”). Any such election by the Company to defer the payment of interest will not constitute an Event of Default, a Default or any other breach under the Indenture and the Notes. Any installment of interest whose payment is deferred pursuant to the Deferral Right provided for in this Section 303 (“Deferred Interest”) will accrue, compounding on each subsequent Interest Payment Date, until paid. A Deferral Period terminates on any Interest Payment Date where the Company pays all accrued and unpaid interest subject to such Deferral Period on the Notes on such date. No Deferral Period may extend beyond the Maturity Date and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes as of the Maturity Date, if any, will be due and payable on the Maturity Date. There shall be no limit on the number of Deferral Periods that may occur. The Company will give the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes notice of its election to commence or continue a Deferral Period at least 10 but not more than 60 days prior to the next Interest Payment Date. The Trustee shall not be responsible for calculating the amount of any Deferred Interest.

SECTION 304. CALCULATION AGENT.

The Company shall appoint a Calculation Agent on or prior to Interest Rate Calculation Date applicable to the Initial Interest Rate Reset Date; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to appoint a Calculation Agent if the Company has elected to redeem all of the outstanding Notes as of the Initial Interest Rate Reset Date; provided, further, that, if the Company has so elected but does not redeem all of the outstanding Notes on the Initial Interest Rate Reset Date, the Company shall appoint a Calculation Agent not later than the Business Day immediately following the Initial Interest Rate Reset Date. The Company or its Affiliates may assume the duties of the Calculation Agent.

The Calculation Agent will determine the applicable interest rate for each Interest Rate Reset Period as of the applicable Interest Rate Calculation Date. Promptly upon such determination, the Calculation Agent, if other than the Company or an Affiliate of the Company, will notify the Company of the applicable interest rate for the relevant Interest Rate Reset Period and, provided the Trustee is not the Calculation Agent, the Company will then promptly notify the Trustee of such interest rate. The Calculation Agent’s determination of any interest rate and its calculation of the amount of interest for any Interest Rate Reset Period beginning on or after the Initial Interest Rate Reset Date will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error, may be made in the Calculation Agent’s sole discretion and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the documentation relating to the Notes, will become effective without consent from any other Person or entity. Such determination of any interest rate and calculation of the amount of interest will be on file at the Company’s principal offices and will be made available to any Holder upon request.

If the 5-Year Treasury Rate cannot be determined pursuant to the method described above, the Calculation Agent, after consulting such sources as it deems comparable to any of the foregoing calculations, or any such source as it deems reasonable from which to estimate the 5-Year Treasury Rate, will determine the 5-Year Treasury Rate in its sole discretion, provided that if the Calculation Agent determines there is an industry-accepted successor 5-Year Treasury Rate, then the Calculation Agent will use such successor rate. If the Calculation Agent has determined a substitute or successor base rate in accordance with the foregoing, the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion may determine the business day convention, the definition of Business Day and the Interest Rate Calculation Date to be used and any other relevant methodology for calculating such substitute or successor base rate, including any adjustment factor needed to make such substitute or successor base rate comparable to the 5-Year Treasury Rate, in a manner that is consistent with industry-accepted practices for such substitute or successor base rate.

(b) to exchange such Definitive Notes for an equal principal amount of Definitive Notes of other authorized denominations,

SECTION 306. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF A DEFINITIVE NOTE FOR A BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN A GLOBAL NOTE.

A Definitive Note may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Note except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below. Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Definitive Note, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar, together with:

(a) certification (in the form set forth on the reverse side of the Note) that such Definitive Note is being transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration (i) in accordance with an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (ii) in accordance with Rule 144A, (iii) in accordance with Rule 904 of Regulation S, (iv) to an Institutional Accredited Investor, that is not a QIB and that is purchasing for its own account or for the account of another Institutional Accredited Investor for investment purposes and not with a view to or for offer or sale in connection with any distribution in violation of the Securities Act, in each case in a minimum principal amount of Notes of $250,000, or (v) in reliance upon another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act (other than pursuant to Rule 144), and in each case in a transaction that is exempt from, or not subject to, the Canadian Prospectus Requirement, and if the Company or the Trustee so requests in connection with transfers described in clauses (iii), (iv) or (v), an Opinion of Counsel or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to it as to the compliance with the restrictions set forth in the applicable legend set forth in Section 202; and

(b) written instructions directing the Trustee to make, or to direct the Custodian to make, an adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Global Note to reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Notes represented by the Global Note, such instructions to contain information regarding the Depositary account to be credited with such increase,

the Trustee shall cancel such Definitive Note and cause, or direct the Custodian to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Custodian, the aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by the Global Note to be increased by the aggregate principal amount of the Definitive Note to be exchanged and shall credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Note equal to the principal amount of the Definitive Note so canceled. If no Global Notes are then outstanding, the Company may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon receipt of a Company Order of the Company in the form of an Officer’s Certificate, a new Global Note in the appropriate principal amount.

SECTION 307. TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE OF GLOBAL NOTES.

(a) The transfer and exchange of Global Notes or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the Indenture (including applicable restrictions on transfer, if any) and the procedures of the Depositary therefor. A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Note shall deliver to the Security Registrar a written order given in accordance with the

Depositary’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account of such Depositary to be credited with a beneficial interest in such Global Note or another Global Note, and such account shall be credited in accordance with such order with a beneficial interest in the applicable Global Note, and the account of the Person making the transfer shall be debited by an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Global Note being transferred. Transfers by an owner of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note to a transferee who takes delivery of such interest through a Regulation S Global Note, whether before or after the expiration of the Restricted Period, shall be made only upon receipt by the Trustee of a certification in the form provided on the reverse side of the Notes from the transferor to the effect that such transfer is being made in accordance with Rule 904 of Regulation S (and, if such transfer is to a Person in Canada or to or for the benefit of a resident of Canada, exempt from, or not subject to, the Canadian Prospectus Requirement), or an Opinion of Counsel or other evidence of exemption reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

(b) If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one Global Note to a beneficial interest in another Global Note, the Security Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Note to which such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interest to be so transferred, and the Security Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a corresponding decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note from which such interest is being transferred. If the Company or the Trustee so requests in connection with transfer of a beneficial interest in one Global Note to a beneficial interest in another Global Note, other than a transfer to a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note, such request for transfer shall be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company or the Trustee, as applicable, as to the compliance with the restrictions set forth in the applicable legend set forth in Section 202.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Supplemental Indenture (other than Section 305), a Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole and not in part by the Depositary to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor of such Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

SECTION 308. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF REGULATION S GLOBAL NOTE.

being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (iii) in an offshore transaction in accordance with Regulation S, (iv) pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided by Rule 144 (if applicable) under the Securities Act or (v) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, in each case in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States and, if such sale, pledge or transfer is to a Person in Canada or to or for the benefit of a resident of Canada, that sale, pledge or transfer, as applicable, is exempt from, or not subject to, the Canadian Prospectus Requirement. Prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, transfers by an owner of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note to a transferee who takes delivery of such interest through the Rule 144A Global Note shall be made only in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and upon receipt by the Trustee of a written certification from the transferor of the beneficial interest in the form provided on the reverse of the Note to the effect that such transfer is being made to a person whom the transferor reasonably believes is a QIB within the meaning of Rule 144A in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A and, if such transfer is to a Person in Canada or to or for the benefit of a resident of Canada, exempt from, or not subject to, the Canadian Prospectus Requirement.

(b) Upon the expiration of the Restricted Period, beneficial ownership interests in the Regulation S Global Note shall be transferable in accordance with applicable law and the other terms of the Indenture.

SECTION 309. CANCELLATION OR ADJUSTMENT OF GLOBAL NOTE.

At such time as all beneficial interests in a Global Note have either been exchanged for Definitive Notes, transferred, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, such Global Note shall be returned by the Depositary to the Trustee for cancellation or retained and canceled by the Trustee. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for Definitive Notes, transferred in exchange for an interest in another Global Note, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced and an adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the Trustee (if it is then the Custodian for such Global Note) with respect to such Global Note, by the Trustee or Custodian, to reflect such reduction.

SECTION 310. OBLIGATIONS WITH RESPECT TO TRANSFERS AND EXCHANGES OF NOTES.

(a) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, shall authenticate, Definitive Notes and Global Notes at the Security Registrar’s request.

(b) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange (except as otherwise expressly permitted in the Indenture), but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax, assessments, or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes, assessments or similar governmental charge payable upon transfers or exchanges pursuant to Sections 205 and 1008 of the Base Indenture).

(c) Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Note, the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Security Registrar may deem and treat the person in whose name a Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Security Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(d) All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of the Indenture shall evidence the same debt and shall be entitled to the same benefits under the Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

(e) The Security Registrar and the Trustee may request such evidence as may be reasonably requested by them to determine the identity and signatures of the transferor and the transferee.

SECTION 311. NO OBLIGATION OF THE TRUSTEE.

(a) The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Note, a member of, or a participant in the Depositary (“Agent Members”) or any other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or their respective nominees 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, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption or repurchase) 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 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 applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners.

(b) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under the Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in

any Note (including any transfers between or among Depositary participants, members or beneficial owners in any Global Note) 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 the Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

SECTION 312. NON-COMPLIANT TRANSFERS NULL AND VOID.

Any purported transfer of a Note, or any interest therein, to a purchaser or transferee that does not comply with the requirements specified in this Article Three shall be of no force and effect and shall be null and void ab initio.

SECTION 313. DEFINITIVE NOTES.

(a) A Global Note deposited with the Depositary or Custodian pursuant to Section 201 may be transferred to the beneficial owners thereof in the form of Definitive Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Note, in exchange for such Global Note, only if such transfer complies with this Article Three and (1) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a Depositary for such Global Note or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act or otherwise ceases to be eligible as a depositary and, in each case, a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice or after the Company becomes aware of such cessation, or (2) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Security Registrar has received a request from the Depositary or (3) the Company, in its sole discretion and subject to the procedures of the Depositary, notifies the Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of Definitive Notes under the Indenture. In addition, any Affiliate of the Company that is a beneficial owner of all or part of a Global Note may have such Affiliate’s beneficial interest transferred to such Affiliate in the form of a Definitive Note, by providing a written request to the Company and the Trustee and such Opinions of Counsel, certificates or other information as may be required by the Indenture or the Company or the Trustee.

(b) Any Global Note that is transferable to the beneficial owners thereof pursuant to this Section 313 shall be surrendered by the Depositary to the Trustee, to be so transferred, in whole or from time to time in part, without charge, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Any portion of a Global Note transferred pursuant to this Section 313 shall be executed, authenticated and delivered only in denominations of U.S.$2,000 or any integral multiples of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof, registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct.

ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

SECTION 502. OTHER PREFERRED SHARES.

For so long as the Conversion Preferred Shares issuable upon the Automatic Conversion are issuable and the Notes are outstanding:

(a) the Company will not issue any Preferred Shares which, in the event of insolvency or winding-up of the Company, would rank in right of payment in priority to the Conversion Preferred Shares (but for, greater certainty, the Company may issue Preferred Shares which, in the event of insolvency or winding up of the Company, would rank pari passu in right of payment in priority with the Conversion Preferred Shares);

(b) the Company will not issue other Preferred Shares if, following such issuance, the Conversion Preferred Shares issuable upon an Automatic Conversion could not be issued as a result of the restriction in the Company’s Articles with regards to the aggregate number of Preferred Shares which may be outstanding; and

ARTICLE SIX

AUTOMATIC CONVERSION

SECTION 601. AUTOMATIC CONVERSION.

(a) Upon an Automatic Conversion Event, as of the Conversion Time and without the consent of any Holders, the Notes shall be automatically converted into fully paid and non-assessable Conversion Preferred Shares, with a stated issue price and redemption value of U.S.$1,000 per share, as provided in this Section 601 (the “Automatic Conversion”). Each Note that is outstanding immediately prior to the Conversion Time (as defined below) shall be

automatically converted into (i) one Conversion Preferred Share for each U.S.$1,000 principal amount of such Note and (ii) such number of Conversion Preferred Shares (including fractional shares, where applicable) calculated by dividing the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on each U.S.$1,000 principal amount of such Note as of the date immediately prior to the date of the Automatic Conversion by U.S.$1,000. The Automatic Conversion shall occur upon an Automatic Conversion Event (the “Conversion Time”). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no interest on the Notes will accrue or be payable after the Conversion Time.

(b) At the Conversion Time all of the Notes shall be deemed to be immediately and automatically surrendered and cancelled without need for further action by the Holders who shall thereupon automatically cease to be Holders thereof and all rights of any such Holder as a debtholder of the Company shall automatically cease, provided, however, that certificated Notes, if any, shall be surrendered by the Holder to the Trustee for cancellation prior to the distribution of the Conversion Preferred Shares issuable to such Holder thereunder pursuant to an Automatic Conversion. For the avoidance of doubt, any Notes purchased or redeemed by the Company prior to the Conversion Time shall be deemed not to be outstanding, and shall not be subject to the Automatic Conversion.

(c) The Automatic Conversion shall be mandatory and binding upon both the Company and all Holders notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, including, without limitation: (a) the existence or prior occurrence of an Event of Default; (b) any prior action to or in furtherance of redeeming, exchanging or converting the Notes pursuant to the other terms and conditions of this Supplemental Indenture or the Indenture; and (c) any delay in or impediment to the issuance or delivery of the Conversion Preferred Shares to the Holders.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Trustee shall not have any responsibility to determine if and when an Automatic Conversion Event has occurred or for any calculations required to be made in connection with an Automatic Conversion. The Company shall provide written notification of the occurrence of an Automatic Conversion Event upon which the Trustee shall be able to conclusively rely. The Company shall make all the calculations required to be made pursuant to an Automatic Conversion. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or value of any securities or assets delivered by the Company pursuant to any Automatic Conversion and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any failure by Company to comply with the provisions of this Article Six.

(e) Upon receipt by the Holders of all of the Conversion Preferred Shares from the Company to which the Holders are entitled pursuant to this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be required to take any further directions from Holders of the Notes. In connection with an Automatic Conversion, the Trustee shall carry out such other acts and duties, and provide such other services, as may reasonably be requested by the Company; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have no

obligations with respect to the delivery of Conversion Preferred Shares to former Holders of the Notes, nor shall the Trustee be obligated to hold the Conversion Preferred Shares on behalf of such former Holders of the Notes, upon an Automatic Conversion Event.

SECTION 602. RIGHT NOT TO DELIVER THE CONVERSION PREFERRED SHARES.

Upon an Automatic Conversion of the Notes, the Company reserves the right not to issue some or all, as applicable, of the Conversion Preferred Shares to any Ineligible Persons. In such circumstances, the Company will hold all Conversion Preferred Shares that would otherwise be delivered to Ineligible Persons, as agent for such Ineligible Persons, and will attempt to facilitate the sale of such Conversion Preferred Shares through a registered dealer retained by the Company for the purpose of effecting the sale of such Conversion Preferred Shares (to parties other than the Company, its Affiliates or other Ineligible Persons) on behalf of such Ineligible Persons. Such sales, if any, may be made at any time and any price. The Company will not be subject to any liability for failing to sell Conversion Preferred Shares on behalf of any such Ineligible Persons or at any particular price on any particular day. The net proceeds received by the Company from the sale of any such Conversion Preferred Shares will be divided among the Ineligible Persons in proportion to the number of Conversion Preferred Shares that would otherwise have been delivered to them, after deducting the costs of sale and applicable taxes, if any. The Company will make payment of the aggregate net proceeds to the Depositary (if the Notes are then held in its book-entry only system) or to the Security Registrar and transfer agent (in all other cases) for distribution to such Ineligible Persons in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures or otherwise.

As a precondition to the delivery of any certificate representing, or other evidence of an interest in, any Conversion Preferred Shares or related rights following an Automatic Conversion, the Company may obtain from any Holder, persons holding the Notes represented by such Holder or any beneficial owner of the Notes a declaration, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, confirming that such Holder, person holding the Notes represented by such Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes is not, and does not represent, an Ineligible Person.

(b) Upon payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article, the Trustee and the Holders shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which any such dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization proceeding affecting the affairs of the Company is pending or upon a certificate of the Custodian or other person making any payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders, for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article.

SECTION 705. EFFECTUATION OF SUBORDINATION BY TRUSTEE; WAIVER OF CONFLICTS.

Officer’s Certificate providing that such Persons are entitled to all the rights and benefits of this Article as Senior Creditors and for such other matters, such as an agreement not to amend the provisions of this Article and the definitions used herein without the consent of such Senior Creditors, as the Senior Creditors may reasonably request. Such agreement shall be conclusive evidence that the indebtedness specified therein is Senior Indebtedness; however, nothing herein shall impair the rights of any Senior Creditor who has not entered into such an agreement.

The Company and each Holder (by its acceptance thereof) acknowledge that the Trustee acts, and may in the future act, as trustee with respect to Senior Indebtedness and hereby waive any material conflict that may arise from such appointment. Notwithstanding anything else in this Supplemental Indenture or the Indenture (including, but not limited to, Article Four of the Indenture), the Holders may not direct the Trustee to take any action to enforce the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on the Notes unless and until the Company has been fully released and discharged from its obligations under the Senior Indebtedness by the Senior Creditors.

SECTION 708. RIGHTS OF SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS NOT IMPAIRED.

(a) No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce the subordination herein shall at any time or in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with.

SECTION 709. ARTICLE APPLICABLE TO PAYING AGENTS.

In case at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term Trustee as used in this Article shall in such case (unless the context shall require otherwise) 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 Section 706 and Section 707 of this Supplemental Indenture shall not apply to the Company if it acts as its own Paying Agent.
