The Bonds may be issued in book-entry form, uncertificated form, or certificated form. Except for Bonds held by a Depositary through a global note, Bonds will only be certificated at the Series’ discretion. In the event the Bonds are issued in certificated form, the Bonds and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. The Bonds may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such legends or endorsements printed, lithographed or engraved thereon as the Series may deem appropriate and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, or as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any stock exchange on which the Bonds may be listed, or to conform to usage. The terms and conditions contained in the Bonds shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and, to the extent applicable, the Series and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Bond conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

Section 2.02 Denominations, Provisions for Payment, Maturity.

(a) The Bonds shall be issuable as registered Bonds and in the denominations of One Thousand U.S. dollars ($1,000) or any integral multiple thereof. The Bonds shall bear interest from the date of issuance at the rate prescribed on the Bond, payable quarterly in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. Interest payable shall be calculated using the Interest Accrual Period immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date. Each Bond shall be dated the date of its authentication by the Trustee. Interest on the Bonds shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The interest installment on any Bond that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name said Bond (or one or more Predecessor Bonds) is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such interest installment. In the event that any Bond is called for redemption and the redemption date is subsequent to a Record Date with respect to any Interest Payment Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date, interest on such Bond will be paid upon presentation and surrender of such Bond to the Paying Agent of such Bond as provided in Section 3.03. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.02, for Bonds held in global form, payment of principal and any interest on the Bonds shall be made to a Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the sole registered owner and holder of the Bonds for all purposes under this Indenture.

(b) Any interest on any Bond that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered holder on the relevant Record Date by virtue of having been such holder; and such Defaulted Interest shall be paid by the Series, at its election, as provided in clause (1) or clause (2) below:

(1) The Series may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on Bonds to the Persons in whose names such Bonds (or their respective Predecessor Bonds) are registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner: the Series shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each such Bond and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Series shall deposit with the paying agent an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall not be more than 15 nor less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Series of such special record date and, in the name and at the expense of the Series, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each Bondholder at his or her address as it appears in the Bond Register (as hereinafter defined), not less than 10 days prior to such special record date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names such Bonds (or their respective Predecessor Bonds) are registered on such special record date.

(2) The Series may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on any Bonds in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Bonds may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Series to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Bond delivered under this Indenture upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Bond shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, that were carried by such other Bond.

(c) No more than 180 days prior to a Maturity Date for any Bond, the Series will send to each holder of such a Bond as of its Maturity Record Date a Notice of Maturity (via first class U.S. mail, facsimile or electronic transmission). The Notice of Maturity will notify the holder of the Bond’s pending maturity and that the automatic renewal provision described in subsection (d) will take effect, unless:

(1) The Series states in the Notice of Maturity that it will not allow the holder to renew the Bond, in which case the Series shall pay the holder all outstanding principal, accrued but unpaid interest and any other amounts owed under the terms of such Bond on the Maturity Date, subject to the Series’ ability to extend the Maturity Date for an additional twelve months in its sole and absolute discretion by providing written notice of such extension after the Repayment Election and at least 60 days prior to the Maturity Date; or

(2) the holder sends to the Series, at least 150 days prior to the Maturity Date, a Repayment Election for the payment of all outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest due on the Bond as of the Maturity Date; provided, however, that the holder of a global note may elect to receive payment of outstanding principal, accrued but unpaid interest and any other amounts owed under the terms of such Bond respecting less than all principal represented by such global note.

If a Notice of Maturity states the automatic renewal provisions set forth in clause (d) will apply, then the Series shall also include the then-current applicable offering statement or prospectus, if any, together with a statement urging the holder to review such documentation prior to any renewal. Upon receipt of a Notice of Maturity, the holder of a maturing Bond may in its discretion send to the Series a Repayment Election; provided that such Repayment Election must be sent to the Series no later than 150 days prior to the Maturity Date. If the Series receives a Repayment Election on or prior to the 150^th day before the Maturity Date, the Series will pay all outstanding principal, accrued but unpaid interest and any other amounts owed under the terms of such Bond (through the Maturity Date) no later than Maturity Date, subject to the Series’ ability to extend the maturity date for an additional twelve months in its sole and absolute discretion by providing written notice of such extension after the Repayment Election and at least 60 days prior to the Maturity Date; provided that if the Series shall have previously paid interest to the holder for any period after the Maturity Date, then such interest shall be deducted from such payment.

(d) If the Notice of Maturity was sent to the Holders in accordance with Section 2.02(c) and a Holder of a maturing Bond has not delivered a Repayment Election for repayment of the Bond on or prior to the 150^th day before the Maturity Date, and the Series did not notify the holder of its intention to repay the Bond in the Notice of Maturity, then such maturing Bond shall be extended automatically for an additional term as indicated on the Bond and shall be deemed to be renewed by the holder and the Series as of the Maturity Date of such maturing Bond. Provided the Series timely sends the Notice of Maturity to the Holders in accordance with Section 2.02(c), a maturing Bond will thereafter continue to renew as described herein absent a subsequent Redemption Notice by the Series, a Repurchase Request by the Bondholder, or an indication by the Series that it will repay and not allow the Bond to be renewed in any subsequent Notice of Maturity. Interest on the renewed Bond shall accrue from the Maturity Date of the maturing Bond. Such renewed Bond will be deemed to have the identical terms and provisions of the maturing Bond, including provisions relating to payment.

(e) To the extent the Series fails to timely send the Notice of Maturity to Holders in accordance with Section 2.02(c), the Bond will mature on the Maturity Date set forth in the Bond and no renewal or other extension of the Maturity Date shall occur.

(f) The above Sections 2.02(c), 2.02(d) and 2.02(e) shall govern redemption or maturity of Bonds at maturity notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in Article III of this Indenture.

Section 2.03 Execution and Authentication.

If the Bonds are certificated, the Bonds shall be signed on behalf of the Series by an authorized signatory. Signatures may be in the form of a manual or facsimile signature. The Series may use the facsimile signature of any Person who shall have been an authorized signatory, notwithstanding the fact that at the time the Bonds shall be authenticated and delivered or disposed of such Person shall have ceased to be an authorized signatory of the Series. The Bonds may contain such notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. A Bond shall not be valid until authenticated manually by an authorized signatory of the Trustee, or by an Authenticating Agent. Such signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Bond so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Series may deliver Bonds executed by the Series to the Trustee for authentication, together with a written order of the Series for the authentication and delivery of such Bonds, signed by an authorized signatory of the Series and the Trustee in accordance with such written order shall authenticate and deliver such Bonds.

Prior to the issuance of the Bonds, in accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Bonds and any Bonds to be issued thereafter, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive (i) an Opinion of Counsel to the Issuer stating that (a) the Series is permitted by law to enter into this Indenture, (b) the form and terms of the Bonds have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture, the Regulation A Offering Statement on Form 1-A, initially filed with the SEC on June 6, 2018, as amended, the Exchange Circular which is a part of the Form 1-U relating to the Bonds covered by this Indenture, all SEC requirements, and other applicable laws and regulations, and (3) that all Bonds, when issued by the Series and if applicable, authenticated by the Trustee will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Series enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to any Bankruptcy Law or other insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (ii) a Manager’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to the issuance of the Bonds have been complied with and that, to the best of the knowledge of the signers of such Manager’s Certificate, no Event of Default with respect to any of the Bonds shall have occurred and be continuing. The Trustee may conclusively rely upon the Opinion of Counsel and Manager’s Certificate in authenticating the Bonds and accepting the responsibility under this Indenture. The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Bonds if the issue of such Bonds pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Bonds and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner that is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

Section 2.04 Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

7

(a) Bonds may be exchanged upon presentation thereof at the office or agency of the Bond Registrar (as defined herein), or such other location designated by the Series, for other Bonds of authorized denominations, and for a like aggregate principal amount, upon payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in relation thereto, all as provided in this Section. In respect of any Bonds so surrendered for exchange, the Series shall execute, the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in exchange therefor the Bond or Bonds that the Bondholder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive, bearing numbers not contemporaneously outstanding.

(b) The Series shall keep, or cause to be kept, at its office or agency designated for such purpose a register or registers (herein referred to as the “Bond Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Bond Registrar shall register the Bonds and the transfers of Bonds as in this Article provided and which at all reasonable times shall be open for inspection by the Trustee. The registrar for the purpose of registering Bonds and transfer of Bonds as herein provided shall be appointed as authorized by an authorized signatory of the Series (the “Bond Registrar”). The initial Bond Registrar for Bonds held in global form by DTC or its nominee and for Bonds in any other name is Direct Transfer LLC. Upon surrender for transfer of any Bond at the office of the Bond Registrar together with all documentation required by law or reasonable requested by the Bond Registrar, the Series shall execute, the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Bond as the Bond presented for a like aggregate principal amount. All Bonds presented or surrendered for exchange or registration of transfer, as provided in this Section, shall be accompanied (if so required by the Series or the Bond Registrar) by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Series or the Bond Registrar, duly executed by the registered holder or by such holder’s duly authorized attorney in writing.

(c) No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Bonds, but the Series may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in relation thereto, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.04, Section 3.03(b) and Section 9.04 not involving any transfer. The Series shall not be required (i) to issue, exchange or register the transfer of any Bonds during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of less than all the Outstanding Bonds and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, nor (ii) to register the transfer or exchange any Bonds called for redemption.

(d) The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Bonds represented by global notes will be effected through the respective Depositary, in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary:

Upon satisfaction of all of the requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in Bonds represented by global notes contained in this Indenture or otherwise applicable under the Securities Act, the Depositary shall adjust the principal amount of the relevant Bond(s) pursuant to Section 2.04(e).

(e) At any time prior to cancellation of a Bond, if any beneficial interest in a Bond represented by a global note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Bond, the Depositary as registered holder of such Bond will direct the Trustee to reduce the principal amount represented by such Bond by the Depositary accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Bond by the Trustee or by the respective Depositary to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Bond, Depositary as registered holder of such bond will provide written direction to increase such other Bond accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Bond by the Trustee or by the respective Depositary to reflect such increase. The Trustee may conclusively rely upon any written direction received from the Depositary as registered holders of the Bonds received in accordance with this Section.

Section 2.05 [Intentionally Deleted]

Section 2.06 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Bonds.

In case any certificated Bond shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Series (subject to the next succeeding sentence) shall execute, and upon the Series’ request the Trustee (subject as aforesaid) shall authenticate and deliver, a new Bond bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Bond, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Bond so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substituted Bond shall furnish to the Series and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Series and the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of the applicant’s Bond and of the ownership thereof. The Trustee may authenticate any such substituted Bond and deliver the same upon the written request or authorization of any officer of the Series. Upon the issuance of any substituted Bond, the Series may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. In case any Bond that has matured or is about to mature shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Series may, instead of issuing a substitute Bond, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Bond) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Series, Paying Agent, Bond Registrar and the Trustee such security or indemnity as they may require to save them harmless, and, in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to the satisfaction of the Series and the Trustee and the Paying Agent and Bond Registrar of the destruction, loss or theft of such Bond and of the ownership thereof. Every replacement Bond issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Series whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bond shall be found at any time, or be enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Bonds duly issued hereunder. All Bonds shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bonds, and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) any and all other rights or remedies, notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.

Section 2.07 Cancellation.

All Bonds surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption, exchange or registration of transfer shall, if surrendered to the Series or any Paying Agent, be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be cancelled by it, and no Bonds shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly required or permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. In the absence of such request the Trustee may dispose of canceled Bonds in accordance with its standard procedures and deliver a certificate of disposition to the Series. If the Series shall otherwise acquire any of the Bonds, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Bonds unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.08 Benefits of Indenture.

Nothing in this Indenture or in the Bonds, express or implied, shall give or be construed to give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and the holders of the Bonds any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Indenture, or under any covenant, condition or provision herein contained; all such covenants, conditions and provisions being for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and of the holders of the Bonds.

Section 2.09 Authenticating Agent.

So long as any of the Bonds remain Outstanding there may be an Authenticating Agent for any or all Bonds which the Trustee shall have the right to appoint. Said Authenticating Agent shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Bonds issued upon exchange, transfer or partial redemption thereof, and Bonds so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Series and shall be a corporation that has a combined capital and surplus, as most recently reported or determined by it, sufficient under the laws of any jurisdiction under which it is organized or in which it is doing business to conduct a trust business, and that is otherwise authorized under such laws to conduct such business and is subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authorities. If at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with these provisions, it shall resign immediately. Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Series. The Trustee may at any time (and upon request by the Series shall) terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Series. Upon resignation, termination or cessation of eligibility of any Authenticating Agent, the Trustee may appoint an eligible successor Authenticating Agent acceptable to the Series. Any successor Authenticating Agent, upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder, shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent pursuant hereto.

Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided that such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

Section 2.10 Global Form of Bonds

If the Series issues the Bonds in global form, the Series may issue a Bond only to a Depositary. A Depositary may transfer a Bond only to its nominee or to a successor Depositary. A Bond shall represent the amount of the securities specified therein. A Bond may have variations that the Depositary requires or that the Series considers appropriate for such a security.

Prior to due presentment of the Bond(s) for registration of transfer, the Series, the Trustee and any agent of the Series or the Trustee may treat the person in whose name such Bond(s) is registered as the owner of such Bonds for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Bond(s) and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Bond(s) be overdue, and neither the Series, the Trustee nor any agent of the Series or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

9

Beneficial owners of part or all of a Bond are subject to the rules of the Depositary as in effect from time to time. the Series, the Trustee and any agent of the Series or Trustee shall not be responsible for any acts or omissions of a Depositary, for any Depositary records of beneficial ownership interests or for any transactions between the Depositary and beneficial owners.

Section 2.11 Book-Entry Registration

Except for certificated Bonds or bonds held in global form with a Depositary, the Bond Registrar for uncertificated Bonds shall maintain a book-entry registration and transfer system through the establishment and maintenance of the Bond Register for the benefit of Bondholders as the sole method of recording the ownership and transfer of ownership interests in such Bonds. The registered owners established by the Bond Registrar in connection with the purchase or transfer of the Bonds shall be deemed to be the Bondholders of the Bonds outstanding for all purposes under this Indenture. The Series (or its duly authorized Agent) shall promptly notify the Bond Registrar of the acceptance of a subscriber’s purchase of a Bond and, upon receipt of such notice, the Bond Registrar shall establish an account for such Bond by recording a credit to its book-entry registration and transfer system to the account of the related Bondholder for the principal amount of such Bond owned by such Bondholder and issue a confirmation to the Bondholder, with a copy being delivered to the Trustee, on behalf of the Series. The Bond Registrar shall make appropriate credit and debit entries within each account to record all of the applicable actions under this Indenture that relate to the ownership of the related Bonds and issue confirmations to the related Bondholders as set forth herein, with copies being delivered to the Trustee, on behalf of the Series. For example, the total amount of any principal or interest due and payable to the Bondholders of the accounts maintained by the Bond Registrar as provided in this Indenture shall be credited to such accounts by the Bond Registrar within the time frames provided in this Indenture, and the amount of any payments of principal and/or interest distributed to the Bondholders of the accounts as provided in this Indenture shall be debited to such accounts by the Bond Registrar. The Trustee may review the book-entry registration and transfer system as it deems necessary to ensure the Bond Registrar’s compliance with the terms of the Indenture.

Section 2.12 CUSIP Numbers

The Series may obtain and use one or more CUSIP numbers for the Bonds (if then generally in use) and may also obtain and use different CUSIP numbers for Bonds of the same class or series that have different issuance dates, Maturity Dates or interest rates. If CUSIP numbers are so obtained, the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption or purchase as a convenience to Bondholders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Bonds or as contained in any notice of a redemption or purchase, and any such redemption or purchase shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Series will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

ARTICLE III

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

Section 3.01 Redemption

Except as otherwise set forth in the Bonds, the Bonds may be redeemed, in whole or from time to time in part, subject to the conditions and at the redemption prices set forth in this Article III and on the Bonds, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. If the Series elects to redeem Bonds pursuant to this Article III, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of the redemption date, the redemption price and the principal amount of Bonds to be redeemed. The Series shall give notice of redemption to the Trustee and Paying Agent not less than twenty-five (25) days and not more than sixty (60) days before the redemption date, together with such documentation and records as shall enable the Trustee to select the Bonds by lot to be redeemed. If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs while any Bonds remain outstanding, the Series shall make an offer to each Bondholder to repurchase all or any amount of each Bondholder’s Bonds at the redemption price set forth on the Bond.

Section 3.02 Notice of Redemption.

(a) In case the Series shall desire to exercise such right to redeem all or, as the case may be, a portion of the Bonds in accordance with the right reserved so to do, the Series shall, or shall cause the Paying Agent to, give notice of such redemption to holders of the Bonds to be redeemed by mailing, first class postage prepaid, a notice of such redemption not less than fifteen (15) days and not more than sixty (60) days before the date fixed for redemption to such holders at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the Bond Registers unless a shorter period is specified in the Bonds to be redeemed. Any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the registered holder receives the notice. In any case, failure duly to give such notice to the holder of any Bond designated for redemption in whole or in part, or any defect in the notice, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Bonds. In the case of any redemption of Bonds prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Bonds or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Series shall furnish the Trustee with a Manager’s Certificate evidencing compliance with any such restriction. Each such notice of redemption shall specify the date fixed for redemption and the redemption price at which Bonds are to be redeemed, and shall state that payment of the redemption price of such Bonds to be redeemed will be made at the office or agency of the Series in the City of Charlotte, North Carolina or the office of the Paying Agent, or such other location designated by the Series, upon presentation and surrender of such Bonds to the Paying Agent of such Bonds, that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in said notice, that from and after said date interest will cease to accrue, and the CUSIP number of the Bonds and state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in the notice or printed on the Bonds. If less than all the Bonds are to be redeemed, the notice to the holders of Bonds to be redeemed in whole or in part shall specify the particular Bonds to be so redeemed. In case any Bond is to be redeemed in part only, the notice that relates to such Bond shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that on and after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Bond to the Paying Agent of such Bond, a new Bond or Bonds in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued.

10

(b) If less than all the Bonds are to be redeemed, the Series shall give the Trustee and the Paying Agent at least twenty-five (25) days’ notice (unless a shorter period is satisfactory to the Trustee) in advance of the date fixed for redemption as to the aggregate principal amount of Bonds to be redeemed, and thereupon the Paying Agent shall select by lot that may provide for the selection of a portion or portions (equal to one thousand U.S. dollars ($1,000) or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of such Bonds of a denomination larger than $1,000, the Bonds to be redeemed and shall thereafter promptly notify the Series in writing of the numbers of the Bonds to be redeemed, in whole or in part. The Series may, if and whenever it shall so elect, by delivery of instructions signed on its behalf by an authorized signatory of the Series, instruct the Trustee or the Paying Agent to call all or any part of the Bonds for redemption and to give notice of redemption in the manner set forth in this Section, such notice to be in the name of the Series or its own name as the Trustee or such Paying Agent as it may deem advisable provided nothing herein shall obligate the Trustee or any Paying Agent to provide notices of redemption to holders of Bonds for which it is not also the Paying Agent and Bond Registrar. In any case in which notice of redemption is to be given by the Trustee or any such paying agent, the Series shall deliver or cause to be delivered to, or permit to remain with, the Trustee or such Paying Agent, as the case may be, such Bond Register, transfer books or other records, or suitable copies or extracts therefrom, sufficient to enable the Trustee or such Paying Agent to give any notice by mail that may be required under the provisions of this Section.

Section 3.03 Payment Upon Redemption

(a) If the giving of notice of redemption shall have been completed as above provided, the Bonds or portions of Bonds to be redeemed specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption and interest on such Bonds or portions of Bonds shall cease to accrue on and after the date fixed for redemption, unless the Series shall default in the payment of such redemption price and accrued interest with respect to any such Bond or portion thereof. On presentation and surrender of such Bonds on or after the date fixed for redemption at the place of payment specified in the notice, said Bonds shall be paid and redeemed at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption (but if the date fixed for redemption is an Interest Payment Date, the interest installment payable on such date shall be payable to the registered holder at the close of business on the applicable Record Date pursuant to Section 2.02).

(b) Upon presentation of any Bond that is to be redeemed in part only, the Series shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and the office or agency where the Bond is presented shall deliver to the holder thereof, at the expense of the Series, a new Bond of authorized denominations in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Bond so presented.

Section 3.04 Redemption upon Death or Disability or Bankruptcy

(a) Subject to subsection (b) below, within 45 days of the death, Total Permanent Disability or Bankruptcy of a holder who is a natural person or a Person who beneficially holds Bonds represented by a global note (a “Holder Redemption Event”), the estate of such Person, such Person, or legal representative of such Person may require the Series to repurchase, in whole but not in part, the Bonds held or beneficially held by such Person (including Bonds of such Person held or beneficially held in his or her individual retirement accounts), as the case may be, by delivering to the Series a written notice (“Repurchase Request”) requesting such Bonds be redeemed; provided, however, that in the case of a Repurchase Request by a Person who beneficially holds represented by a global note, such Repurchase Request shall be valid only if delivered through the Depositary, in its capacity as the registered holder of the global note with respect to which such beneficial holder holds his or her beneficial interest in a Bond.

11

Any Repurchase Request shall specify the particular Holder Redemption Event giving rise to the right of the holder or beneficial holder to have his or her Securities or beneficial interest in a global note repurchased by the Series. If a Bond or beneficial interest in a global note is held jointly by natural persons who are legally married, then a Repurchase Request may be made by (i) the surviving holder or beneficial holder upon the occurrence of a Holder Redemption Event arising by virtue of a death, or (ii) the disabled or bankrupt holder or beneficial holder (or a legal representative) upon the occurrence of a Holder Redemption Event arising by virtue of a Total Permanent Disability or Bankruptcy. In the event a Bond or beneficial interest in a global note is held together by two or more natural persons that are not legally married (regardless of whether held as joint tenants, co-tenants or otherwise), neither of these persons shall have the right to request that the Series repurchase such Bond or beneficial interest in a global note unless a Holder Redemption Event has occurred for all such co-holders or co-beneficial holders of such Bond. A holder or beneficial holder that is not an individual natural person does not have the right to request repurchase under this Section.

(b) Upon receipt of a Repurchase Request under subsection (a) above, the Series shall designate a date for the repurchase of such Bond (the “Repurchase Date”) and give written notice to the Trustee and Paying Agent of such Repurchase Date, which date shall not be later than the 15th day of the month next following the month in which the Series receives facts or certifications establishing to the reasonable satisfaction of the Series the occurrence of a Holder Redemption Event. On the Repurchase Date, the Series shall pay to the holder, or the estate of the holder the redemption price of $900 per Bond plus accrued but unpaid interest, in accordance with the terms of the Bond being repurchased. No interest shall accrue on a Bond to be repurchased under this Section for any period of time on or after the Repurchase Date for such Bond, provided that the Series or the paying agent has timely tendered the applicable redemption price to the applicable party.

ARTICLE IV

COVENANTS

Section 4.01 Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest.

The Series will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of (and premium, if any), interest and any other amounts due on the Bonds at the time and place and in the manner provided herein and established with respect to such Bonds.

Section 4.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency.

So long as the Bonds remain Outstanding, the Series agrees to maintain an office or agency in the City of Charlotte, North Carolina, or such other location designated by the Series, and at such other location or locations as may be designated as provided in this Section 4.02, where (i) Bonds may be presented for payment, (ii) Bonds may be presented as herein above authorized for registration of transfer and exchange, and (iii) notices and demands to or upon the Series in respect of the Bonds and this Indenture may be given or served, such designation to continue with respect to such office or agency until the Series shall, by written notice signed by an authorized signatory of the Series and delivered to the Trustee, designate some other office or agency in the City of Charlotte, North Carolina for such purposes or any of them.

The Series may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Bonds may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Series of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the City of Charlotte, North Carolina, or such other location designated by the Series for such purposes. The Series will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

Section 4.03 Paying Agents.

(a) The Series hereby appoints the Direct Transfer as the paying agent. If the Series shall appoint one or more paying agents for the Bonds, other than the Trustee or Direct Transfer, the Series will cause each such paying agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section:

(1) that it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Bonds (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Series or by any other obligor of such Bonds) in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto;

(2) that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Series (or by any other obligor of such Bonds) to make any payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Bonds when the same shall be due and payable;

(3) that it will, at any time during the continuance of any failure referred to in the preceding paragraph (a)(2) above, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such paying agent; and

(4) that it will perform all other duties of paying agent as set forth in this Indenture.

12

(b) If the Series shall act as its own paying agent with respect to the Bonds, it will on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on Bonds, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay such principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of such action, or any failure (by it or any other obligor on such Bonds) to take such action. Whenever the Series shall have one or more paying agents, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest, deposit with the paying agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and (unless such paying agent is the Trustee) the Series will promptly notify the Trustee of this action or failure so to act.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary,

(1) the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section is subject to the provisions of Section 11.05, and

(2) the Series may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or direct any paying agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Series or such paying agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same terms and conditions as those upon which such sums were held by the Series or such paying agent; and, upon such payment by any paying agent to the Trustee, such paying agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

Section 4.04 Appointment to Fill Vacancy in Office of Trustee.

The Series, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 7.11, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder.

Section 4.05 Compliance with Consolidation Provisions.

The Series will not, while any of the Bonds remain Outstanding, consolidate with or merge into any other Person, in either case where the Series is not the survivor of such transaction, or sell, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of its property as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to any other Person unless the provisions of Article X hereof are complied with.

Section 4.06 Payment of Taxes and Other Claims.

The Series will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent: (i) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon us or upon our income, profits or the Series Assets; and (ii) all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a Lien upon any Series Asset; provided, however, that we will not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings or for which we have set apart and maintain an adequate reserve.

Section 4.07 Further Assurances; Recording

14

(1) the Series defaults in the payment of any installment of interest upon any of the Bonds as and when the same shall become due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 60 days; provided, however, that a valid extension of an interest payment period by the Series in accordance with the terms of any indenture supplemental hereto shall not constitute a default in the payment of interest for this purpose;

(2) the Series defaults in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any of the Bonds as and when the same shall become due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 60 days, whether at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or otherwise; provided, however, that a valid extension of the maturity of such Bonds in accordance with the terms of any indenture supplemental hereto shall not constitute a default in the payment of principal or premium, if any;

(3) the Series fails to observe or perform any other of its covenants or agreements contained in this Indenture for a period of 120 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder, shall have been given to the Series by the Trustee, by registered or certified mail, or to the Series and the Trustee by the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding;

(4) the Series pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law

(7) the Series ceases conducting its business (including, for this purpose, the business conducted by or through any direct or indirect Subsidiaries) or liquidates all or substantially all of its assets (meaning, for this purpose, all or substantially all of the combined assets of the Series and its direct and indirect Subsidiaries).

(b) In each and every such case, unless the principal of all the Bonds shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding hereunder, by notice in writing to the Series (and to the Trustee if given by such Bondholders), may declare the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Bonds to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable.

(c) At any time after the principal of the Bonds shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding hereunder, by written notice to the Series and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

(1) the Series has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all the Bonds and the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any and all Bonds that shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest upon such principal and premium, if any, and, to the extent that such payment is enforceable under applicable law, upon overdue installments of interest, at the rate per annum expressed in the Bonds to the date of such payment or deposit) and the amount payable to the Trustee under Section 7.07, and

(2) any and all Events of Default under the Indenture, other than the nonpayment of principal on Bonds that shall not have become due by their terms, shall have been remedied or waived as provided in Section 6.06.

No such rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

15

(d) In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right with respect to Bonds under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such rescission or annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceedings, the Series and the Trustee shall be restored respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Series and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken.

Section 6.02 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

(a) The Series covenants that

(1) in case it shall default in the payment of any installment of interest on any of the Bonds, as and when the same shall have become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a period of 60 days, or

(2) in case it shall default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any of the Bonds when the same shall have become due and payable, whether upon maturity or upon redemption, and such default shall have continued for a period of 60 days, then, upon demand of the Trustee or the Bondholders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds, the Series will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the holders of the Bonds, the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable on all such Bonds for principal (and premium, if any) or interest, or both, as the case may be, with interest upon the overdue principal (and premium, if any) and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) upon overdue installments of interest at the rate per annum expressed in the Bonds; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, and the amount payable to the Trustee under Section 7.07.

(b) If the Series shall fail to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due, including but not limited to exercising its rights under any Collateral Documents, and unpaid and may prosecute any such action or proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Series or other obligor upon the Bonds and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Series or other obligor upon the Bonds, wherever situated. In addition to any action or proceeding at law or in equity, the Trustee shall have the right to cause the Series to cause the sale of all the Series Assets and may collect the moneys received from such sales, following the payment of any indebtedness and any fees, costs or expenses of such sales.

(c) In case of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, readjustment, arrangement, composition or judicial proceedings affecting the Series, or its creditors or property, the Trustee shall have power to intervene in such proceedings and take any action therein that may be permitted by the court and shall (except as may be otherwise provided by law) be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other papers and documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and of the holders of Bonds allowed for the entire amount due and payable by the Series under the Indenture at the date of institution of such proceedings and for any additional amount that may become due and payable by the Series after such date, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim, and to distribute the same after the deduction of the amount payable to the Trustee under Section 7.07; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby authorized by each of the holders of Bonds to make such payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to such Bondholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it under Section 7.07.

(d) All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the terms established with respect to the Bonds, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of such Bonds, or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for payment to the Trustee of any amounts due under Section 7.07, be for the ratable benefit of the holders of the Bonds. In case of an Event of Default hereunder, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Bondholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Bonds or the rights of any holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Bondholder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.03 Application of Moneys Collected.

(1) such holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof specifying such Event of Default, as hereinbefore provided;

(2) the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as trustee hereunder;

(3) such holder or holders shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby;

For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Bondholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

Section 6.05 Rights and Remedies Cumulative; Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

(a) All powers and remedies given by this Article to the Trustee or to the Bondholders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the holders of the Bonds, by judicial proceedings, execution upon the Collateral Documents, or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture or otherwise established with respect to such Bonds.

(b) No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any holder of any of the Bonds to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or on acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.04, every power and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or the Bondholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Bondholders.

The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding, determined in accordance with Section 8.01, shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee; provided, however, that such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee or its counsel, determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding affected thereby, determined in accordance with Section 8.01, may on behalf of the holders of all of the Bonds waive any past default in the performance of any of the covenants contained herein and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any of the Bonds as and when the same shall become due by the terms of such Bonds otherwise than by acceleration (unless such default has been cured and a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest and principal and any premium has been deposited with the Trustee (in accordance with Section 6.01(c)) or in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article IX cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each Outstanding Bond affected. Upon any such waiver, the default covered thereby shall be deemed to be cured for all purposes of this Indenture and the Series, the Trustee and the holders of the Bonds shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering or omitting to take any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a Manager’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee and such certificate, in the absence of gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof.

Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Series shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of an authorized signatory of the Series, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the mailing of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, or any Bondholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Bond or Bonds for at least six months may on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.

(b) In case at any time any one of the following shall occur:

(1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section 7.09 after written request therefor by the Series or by any Bondholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Bond or Bonds for at least six months; or

21

(2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.10 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Series or by any such Bondholder; or

Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.

(c) The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Series and may appoint a successor Trustee with the consent of the Series.

(d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee with respect to the Bonds pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 7.12.

Section 7.12 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

(a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor trustee with respect to all Bonds, every such successor trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Series and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Series or the successor trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights, powers, and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

(b) Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Series shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly

vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section.

(c) No successor trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article.

(d) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section, the Series shall transmit notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Bondholders, as their names and addresses appear upon the Bond Register. If the Series fails to transmit such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be transmitted at the expense of the Series.

Section 7.13 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.

Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 7.09 and eligible under the provisions of Section 7.10, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In case any Bonds shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Bonds so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Bonds.

ARTICLE VIII

CONCERNING THE BONDHOLDERS

Section 8.01 Evidence of Action by Bondholders.

22

Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the holders of a majority or specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action the holders of such majority or specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by such holders in Person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing. If the Series shall solicit from the Bondholders any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, the Series may, at its option, as evidenced by a Manager’s Certificate, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Bondholders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, but the Series shall have no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action may be given before or after the record date, but only the Bondholders of record at the close of business on the record date shall be deemed to be Bondholders for the purposes of determining whether Bondholders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Bonds have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, and for that purpose the Outstanding Bonds shall be computed as of the record date; provided, however, that no such authorization, agreement or consent by such Bondholders on the record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record date.

Section 8.02 Proof of Execution by Bondholders.

Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Bondholder (such proof will not require notarization) or his agent or proxy and proof of the holding by any Person of any of the Bonds shall be sufficient if made in the following manner:

(a) The fact and date of the execution by any such Person of any instrument may be proved in any reasonable manner acceptable to the Trustee.

(b) The ownership of Bonds shall be proved by the Bond Register of such Bonds or by a certificate of the Bond Registrar thereof.

(c) The Trustee may require such additional proof of any matter referred to in this Section as it shall deem necessary.

Section 8.03 Who May be Deemed Owners.

Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of any Bond, the Series, the Trustee, any paying agent and any Bond Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name such Bond shall be registered upon the books of the Series as the absolute owner of such Bond (whether or not such Bond shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing thereon made by anyone other than the Bond Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 2.02) interest on such Bond and for all other purposes; and neither the Series nor the Trustee nor any paying agent nor any Bond Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

Section 8.04 Certain Bonds Owned by Company Disregarded.

In determining whether the holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Bonds have concurred in any direction, consent of waiver under this Indenture, the Bonds that are owned by the Series or any other obligor or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under common control with the Series or any other obligor shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination, except that for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver, only Bonds that the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. The Bonds so owned that have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding for the purposes of this Section, if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Bonds and that the pledgee is not a Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Series or any such other obligor. In case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee.

Section 8.05 Actions Binding on Future Bondholders.

At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 8.01, of the taking of any action by the holders of the majority or percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any holder of a Bond that is shown by the evidence to be included in the Bonds the holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee, and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 8.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Bond. Except as aforesaid any such action taken by the holder of any Bond shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders and owners of such Bond, and of any Bond issued in exchange therefor, on registration of transfer thereof or in place thereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Bond. Any action taken by the holders of the majority or percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds specified in this Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Series, the Trustee and the holders of all the Bonds.

This Certificate is governed by that certain indenture by and between UMB Bank, N.A. (the “Trustee”) and the Series, dated as of _____________, 2024 (the “Indenture”), as amended or supplemented from time to time, relating to the offer of $46,857,000 in the aggregate of Series C Bonds and Series C Bonds of the Series. Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

SECTION 1. Interest. The Series promises to pay interest on the principal amount of the Series C Bonds at 9.5% per annum from the date of issuance, until July 1, 2028 (the “Maturity Date”), in each case, subject: (x) to the Series’ ability to extend the Maturity Date for an additional twelve months in its sole and absolute discretion by providing written notice of such extension after the Repayment Election and at least 60 days prior to the Maturity Date and (y) any renewal of the Series C Bonds as prescribed in the Indenture. Any such renewal of a Series C Bond will be for a term of five years. The Series will pay interest due on the Series C Bonds on the Interest Payment Dates. Interest on the Series C Bonds will accrue from the most recent date interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance. The Series shall pay interest on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand to the extent lawful at the interest rate applicable to the Series C Bonds; it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

SECTION 2. Method of Payment. The Series will pay interest on the Series C Bonds to the Persons who are registered holders of Series C Bonds at the close of business on Record Date, even if such Series C Bonds are canceled after such Record Date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.02 of the Indenture with respect to Defaulted Interest. The Series C Bonds will be issued in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Series shall pay principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Series C Bonds in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts (“U.S. Legal Tender”). Principal, premium, if any, interest any other amounts due on the Series C Bonds will be payable at the office or agency of the Series maintained for such purpose except that, at the option of the Series, the payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the holders of Series C Bonds at their respective addresses set forth in the Bond Register. Until otherwise designated by the Series, the Series’ office or agency will be the office of the Trustee maintained for such purpose.

SECTION 3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, Direct Transfer will act as paying agent and registrar. The Series may change the paying agent or registrar without notice to the holders of Series C Bonds. Except as provided in the Indenture, the Series or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

SECTION 4. Indenture. The Series issued the Series C Bonds under the Indenture. The terms of the Series C Bonds include those stated in the Indenture for a complete description of the terms of the Series C Bonds. The Series C Bonds are subject to all such terms, and holders of Series C Bonds are referred to the Indenture. To the extent any provision of this Certificate conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

SECTION 5. Redemption at Option of the Series. The Series may redeem the Series C Bonds, in whole or in part, without penalty within 18 months of the Maturity Date. If the Series C Bonds are renewed for an additional term, the Series may redeem the Series C Bonds at any time during such renewal period. Any redemption of a Series C Bond will be at a price equal to the then outstanding principal on the Series C Bonds being redeemed, plus any accrued but unpaid interest on such Bonds. If the Series plans to redeem the Series C Bonds, the Series will give notice of redemption not less than fifteen (15) days nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any redemption date to each such holder’s address appearing in the bond register maintained by the bond registrar appointed by the Series. In the event the Series elects to redeem less than all of the Series C Bonds, the particular Series C Bonds to be redeemed will be selected by the Trustee by lot by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate. Except as set forth in this Section 5, or pursuant to Article III of the Indenture, the Series C Bonds may not be redeemed by the Series.

SECTION 6. Redemption at Option of Holder.

(a) Beginning on July 1, 2027 and continuing through the Maturity Date, the holders of the Series C Bonds will have the right to cause the Series to redeem all or any portion of the holder’s Series C Bonds. To effect a redemption, the applicable holder (the “Redeeming Holder”) must submit a written request to the Series at its principal place of business, with a copy to the Trustee, for the redemption of all or a portion of its Series C Bonds (the “Redemption Request”). The Series will have 120 days from the date such Redemption Request is provided to redeem the Series C Bonds at a price per Bond equal to $800 plus any accrued but unpaid interest. All redemptions under this Section 6 will be subject to and limited by the Annual Cap (as defined below). No further redemptions will be permitted under this Section 6 in a calendar year if the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Series C Bonds previously redeemed during such calendar year pursuant to this Section 6 or Section 3.04 of the Indenture meets or exceeds the Annual Cap. Interest will accrue on any Series C Bond redeemed hereunder until the actual date of redemption of such Bond, which date shall be not later than 120 days following the Series’ actual receipt of the applicable Redemption Request (the “Redemption Date”). Redemptions will be effected by payment of the applicable Redemption Price (as defined below) on the Redemption Date, as further described below. Any Series C Bond not accepted for redemption will continue to be outstanding and accrue interest pursuant to its terms.

(b) For purposes of this Section 6, the capitalized terms set forth below shall have the definitions herein ascribed to them:

(1) “Annual Cap” shall mean for any calendar year an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the outstanding principal amount of Series C Bonds as of January 1 of such calendar year.

(2) “Redemption Price” shall mean, per Series C Bond, $800 plus any accrued but unpaid interest.

(c) No later than ten (10) business days following its receipt of a Redemption Request, the Series shall mail a notice to the Redeeming Holder notifying such holder whether its Series C Bonds are to be redeemed. The notice shall state that it is a notice of redemption, identify the Series C Bonds to be liquidated and shall state:

(1) the Redemption Date;

(2) the name and address of the Paying Agent; and

(3) that if the Series C Bonds to be redeemed have been issued in certificated form (other than in respect of a global certificate issued to a Depositary), such certificate(s) must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price.

(d) No later than the day before the Redemption Date, the Series shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Series or any Affiliate is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all Series C Bond to be redeemed on that date. Unless the Series shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price on the Series C Bonds to be redeemed, Interest on such Series C Bonds shall cease to accrue after the Redemption Date.

(e) Except as set forth in this Section 6 and Section 7 below, and Section 3.04 of the Indenture, the Series shall not be required to make mandatory redemptions with respect to the Series C Bonds.

SECTION 7. Repurchase at Option of Holder.

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event, and subject to certain conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Series will be required to offer to purchase all of the outstanding Series C Bonds. The Series must offer to repurchase the Series C Bonds at a price that is equal to all accrued and unpaid interest, to but not including the date on which the Series C Bonds are redeemed, plus (i) 1.02 times the then outstanding principal amount of the Series C Bonds if such Series C Bonds are at least three years from the Maturity Date; (ii) 1.015 times the then outstanding principal amount of the Series C Bonds if such Series C Bonds are at least two years, but no more than three years, from the Maturity Date; (iii) 1.01 times the then outstanding principal amount of the Series C Bonds if such Series C Bonds are at least one year, but no more than two years, from the Maturity Date; and (iv) the then outstanding principal amount of the Series C Bonds if no more than one year from the Maturity Date.

2

(b) The Series will repurchase any Series C Bonds pursuant to Section 3.04 of the Indenture at a price that is equal to all accrued and unpaid interest, to but not including the date on which each Series C Bond is redeemed, plus $900 per Series C Bond.

SECTION 8. Denominations, Transfer Exchange. The Series C Bonds are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Series C Bonds may be registered and Series C Bonds may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Bond Registrar and the Trustee may require a holder of Series C Bonds, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents, and the Series may require a holder of Series C Bonds to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Series and the Bond Registrar are not required to transfer or exchange any Series C Bonds selected for redemption. Also, the Series and the Bond Registrar are not required to transfer or exchange any Series C Bonds for a period of 15 days before a selection of Series C Bonds to be redeemed.

SECTION 9. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered holder of Series C Bonds may be treated as its owner for all purposes.

SECTION 10. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Any existing Default or compliance with any provision may be waived with the consent of the holders of a majority of the Series C Bonds then outstanding. Without notice to or consent of any holder of Series C Bonds, the parties thereto may amend or supplement the Indenture and the Series C Bonds as provided in the Indenture.

SECTION 11. Defaults and Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of not less than a majority of the then outstanding Series C Bonds may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on the Series C Bonds to be due and payable immediately in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.01 of the Indenture. Holders of Series C Bonds may not enforce the Indenture or the Series C Bonds except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations in the Indenture, holders of a majority of the then outstanding Series C Bonds may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from holders of Series C Bonds notice of any continuing Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their best interest in accordance with Section 7.02 of the Indenture. The holders of a majority of the Series C Bonds then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the holders of all of the Series C Bonds waive any existing Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a Default in the payment of principal of, or interest on, any Series C Bond as specified in Section 6.01(a)(1) and (2) of the Indenture.

SECTION 12. Restrictive Covenants. The Indenture contains certain covenants as set forth in Article IV of the Indenture.

SECTION 13. No Recourse Against Others. No recourse for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any of the Series C Bonds or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Series in the Indenture, or in any of the Series C Bonds or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, employee or controlling person of the Series or of any successor Person thereof. Each Holder, by accepting the Series C Bonds, waives and releases all such liability. Such waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Series C Bonds.

SECTION 14. Authentication. This Certificate shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a holder of Series C Bonds or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entirety), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Series has caused the CUSIP and ISIN numbers to be printed on this Certificate and the Trustee may use the CUSIP or ISIN numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to holders of Series C Bonds.
