Execution and Authentication. Any two Authorized Persons shall execute the Securities (other than coupons) for the Company by manual, facsimile or electronic (including, without limitation, DocuSign and AdobeSign and other similar applications) signature in the name and on behalf of the Company. If an Authorized Person whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Security is authenticated, the Security shall nevertheless be valid.

The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture.

5.       Counterparts. This Third Supplemental Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts and all of said counterparts executed and delivered each as an original shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity of this Third Supplemental Indenture.
