The Notes

SECTION 2.1. Designation and Principal Amount. There is hereby authorized and established a series of Securities under the Indenture, designated as “6.20% Fixed-to-Floating Subordinated Notes — Series 2019-A due July 1, 2079”, which is not limited in aggregate principal amount. The aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be initially issued shall be limited to $350,000,000. The Issuer may from time to time issue additional Notes hereunder in accordance with Section 3.3 of the Original Indenture.

SECTION 2.2. Terms of Notes. (a) The Notes shall be dated as of the Issue Date, regardless of their actual date of issue, and shall mature on the Maturity Date.

(b) From the Issue Date to, but excluding, July 1, 2024, the Notes will bear interest at the rate of 6.20% per annum, payable in arrears in equal quarterly payments on each Interest Payment Date with the first payment on July 1, 2019. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the initial interest payment payable on July 1, 2019, will be $0.1636 per $25.00 principal amount of the Notes. From July 1, 2024 and on every Interest Reset Date of each year during which the Notes are outstanding thereafter until July 1, 2079, the interest rate on the Notes will be reset as follows: (i) starting on July 1, 2024, on every Interest Reset Date, until July 1, 2029, the interest rate on the Notes will be reset at an interest rate per annum equal to the three month LIBOR plus 4.01%, payable in arrears, with the first payment at such rate being on October 1, 2024; (ii) starting on July 1, 2029, on every Interest Reset Date, until July 1, 2049, the interest rate on the Notes will be reset at an interest rate per annum equal to the three month LIBOR plus 4.26%, payable in arrears, with the first payment at such rate being on October 1, 2029; and (iii) starting on July 1, 2049, on every Interest Reset Date, until July 1, 2079, the interest rate on the Notes will be reset at an interest rate per annum equal to the three month LIBOR plus 5.01%, payable in arrears, with the first payment at such rate being on October 1, 2049. Subject to Article 5, interest as aforesaid shall be payable after as well as before default, with interest on overdue interest, in like money, at the same rates and on the same dates.

-7-

(c) Interest for each Interest Period from the Issue Date to, but excluding, July 1, 2024, will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Interest for each Interest Period from July 1, 2024 to the Maturity Date will be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed during the applicable Interest Period and a 360-day year. For the purposes of disclosure under the Interest Act (Canada), and without affecting the interest payable on the Notes, whenever the interest rate on the Notes is to be calculated on the basis of a period of less than a calendar year, the yearly interest rate equivalent for such interest rate will be the interest rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the relevant calendar year and divided by 360.

(d) For the period from the Issue Date to July 1, 2024, if any Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the Interest Payment Date will be postponed until the next Business Day, and no further interest or other sums will accrue in respect of such postponement. For the period from July 1, 2024 to the Maturity Date, if an Interest Payment Date, other than a redemption date or the Maturity Date, falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day, except that if that Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, the Interest Payment Date will be the immediately preceding Business Day (in each case, resulting in a corresponding adjustment to the number of days in the applicable interest period). Also, if a redemption date or the Maturity Date of the Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment and principal will be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no interest on such payment will accrue for the period from and after the redemption date or the Maturity Date, if applicable.

(e) Interest payments will be made to Holders in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on March 15, June 15, September 15, December 15 (in each case, whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, immediately preceding the relevant floating-rate Interest Payment Date.

SECTION 2.3. Form of Notes. (a) Subject to Section 3.6 of the Original Indenture, the Notes shall be issued only as fully registered global Notes in minimum denominations of $25.00 and integral multiples of $25.00 in excess thereof.

(b) The Notes and the certificate of the U.S. Trustee endorsed thereon shall be in the English language and shall be substantially in the form set out in Exhibit A hereto, with such appropriate additions, deletions, substitutions and variations as the Trustees may approve and shall bear such distinguishing letters and numbers as the Trustees may approve, such approval of the Trustees to be conclusively evidenced by its certification of the Notes.

(c) The Notes may be engraved, printed or lithographed, or partly in one form and partly in another, as the Issuer may determine.

SECTION 2.4. Registrar and Transfer Agent, Paying Agent and Calculation Agent. The Issuer hereby appoints the U.S. Trustee as the U.S. registrar and U.S. transfer agent and U.S. paying agent of the Notes and the U.S. Trustee hereby accepts such appointment. The Issuer hereby appoints the Canadian Trustee as the Canadian transfer agent and Canadian paying agent of the Notes and the Canadian Trustee hereby accepts such appointment.

The Issuer shall make such withholding or deduction and remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant authority as and when required under applicable law.

-9-

(b) Additional Amounts shall not be paid for any applicable Taxes if the holder is a fiduciary, partnership, limited liability company or person other than the sole beneficial owner of that payment to the extent that such payment would be required to be included in the income under the laws of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, a partner or member of that partnership or limited liability company or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to such Additional Amounts had that beneficiary, settlor, partner, member or beneficial owner been the holder thereof.

(c) Whenever in the Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, (i) the payment of principal or premium, (ii) purchase prices in connection with a purchase of Notes, (iii) interest, or (iv) any other amount payable on or with respect to the Notes, such reference shall be deemed to include payment of any Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, such Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.

(d) The Issuer will pay any present or future stamp, court, documentary or similar Taxes that arise in any taxing jurisdiction from the execution, delivery, enforcement or registration of the Notes, the Indenture, or any other document or instrument required in relation thereof, and the Issuer agrees to indemnify the holders for any such Taxes paid by such holders.

(d) Notice of redemption shall be irrevocable and on the Redemption Date, the Notes subject to redemption shall become due and payable at the Redemption Price, and from and after such date (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Notes shall cease to bear interest.

SECTION 3.6. Purchase of the Notes for Cancellation.

(a) Subject to Section 5.3, the Issuer may purchase all or any of the Notes in the open market (which may include purchases from or through an investment dealer or a firm holding membership on or that is a participant of a recognized stock exchange) or by invitation for tenders or by private contract and, in each case, at any price, payable in cash. Notes purchased by the Issuer shall be delivered to the U.S. Trustee for cancellation and shall not be reissued.

SECTION 3.7. Applicability of Certain Redemption Provisions in Original Indenture. Sections 11.3, 11.5 and 11.6 of the Original Indenture shall be applicable to the Notes.

ARTICLE 4

Automatic Conversion

SECTION 4.1. Automatic Conversion. Upon an Automatic Conversion Event, as of the Conversion Time all Notes, including accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be automatically converted (the “Automatic Conversion”), without the consent of the Holders, into a newly issued series of fully paid Conversion Preferred Shares with a stated issue price of $25.00 per share, for each $25.00 principal amount of Notes, together with such number of Conversion Preferred Shares (including fractional shares, where applicable) calculated by dividing the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on each $25.00 principal amount of Notes from the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date to, but excluding, the date of the Automatic Conversion Event by $25.00. The Automatic Conversion shall occur upon an Automatic Conversion Event (the “Conversion Time”). At the Conversion Time all 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 Issuer shall automatically cease. For greater certainty, any Notes purchased or redeemed by the Issuer prior to the Conversion Time shall be deemed not to be outstanding, and shall not be subject to the Automatic Conversion.

-12-

SECTION 4.2. Right Not to Deliver the Conversion Preferred Shares. Upon an Automatic Conversion of the Notes, the Issuer reserves the right not to issue some or all, as applicable, of the Conversion Preferred Shares to Ineligible Persons. In such circumstances, the Issuer 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 shares through a registered broker or dealer retained by the Issuer for the purpose of effecting the sale (to parties other than the Issuer, its affiliates or other Ineligible Persons) on behalf of such Ineligible Persons of such Conversion Preferred Shares. Such sales, if any, may be made at any time and any price. The Issuer 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 Issuer 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 any applicable Taxes or withholding on account of Taxes, if any. The Issuer will make payment of the aggregate net proceeds to DTC (if the Notes are then held in the book-entry only system) or to the registrar and transfer agent (in all other cases) for distribution to such Ineligible Persons in accordance with the Applicable Procedures or otherwise.

SECTION 4.3. As a precondition to the delivery of any certificate or other evidence of issuance representing any Conversion Preferred Shares or related rights following an Automatic Conversion, the Issuer may require a Holder (and persons holding Notes represented by such Holder) to deliver a declaration, in form and substance satisfactory to the Issuer, confirming compliance with any applicable regulatory requirements to establish that such Holder is not, and does not represent, an Ineligible Person.

ARTICLE 5

Deferral Right

SECTION 5.1. Deferral Right. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Issuer may elect, at its sole option, at any date other than an Interest Payment Date, to defer the interest payable on the Notes on one or more occasions for up to five consecutive years (a “Deferral Period”). Such deferral will not constitute an Event of Default or any other breach under the Indenture and the Notes. Deferred interest will accrue, compounding on each subsequent Interest Payment Date, until paid. A Deferral Period terminates on any Interest Payment Date on which the Issuer pays all accrued and unpaid interest on such date. No Deferral Period may extend beyond the Maturity Date.

-13-

The Issuer will give the Holders of the Notes written notice of its election to commence a Deferral Period at least 10 and not more than 60 days before the first applicable Interest Payment Date. After the commencement of a Deferral Period, the Issuer will give the Holders of the Notes written notice of its election to continue or terminate, as applicable, such Deferral Period, at least 10 and not more than 60 days before each subsequent Interest Payment Date until the termination of such Deferral Period.

SECTION 5.2. No Limit. There shall be no limit on the number of Deferral Periods that may occur pursuant to Section 5.1.

SECTION 5.3. Dividend Stopper Undertaking. Unless the Issuer has paid all accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes, the Issuer will not:

(i) declare any dividend on the Dividend Restricted Shares or pay any interest on any Parity Notes (other than stock dividends on Dividend Restricted Shares);

(ii) redeem, purchase or otherwise retire any Dividend Restricted Shares or Parity Notes (except (i) with respect to Dividend Restricted Shares, out of the net cash proceeds of a substantially concurrent issue of Dividend Restricted Shares or (ii) pursuant to any purchase obligation, sinking fund, retraction privilege or mandatory redemption provisions attaching to any series of Dividend Restricted Shares); or

(iii) make any payment to holders of any of the Dividend Restricted Shares or any Parity Notes in respect of dividends not declared or paid on such Dividend Restricted Shares or interest not paid on such Parity Notes, respectively.

ARTICLE 6

Subordination

SECTION 6.1. Notes Subordinated to Senior Indebtedness. (a) Pursuant to and in accordance with Article 14 of the Original Indenture, the Notes shall be subordinated to the extent provided in this Article 6 of the Second Supplemental Indenture. The Issuer covenants and agrees, and each Holder of Notes, by the acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that the indebtedness represented by the Notes and the payment of the principal of and interest on each and all of the Notes is hereby expressly subordinated, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all present and future Senior Indebtedness.

(b) In the event (i) of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings or any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceedings in respect of the Issuer or a substantial part of its property, or of any proceedings for liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the Issuer, whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, or (ii) subject to the provisions of Section 6.2 that (A) a default shall have occurred with respect to the payment of principal of or interest on or other monetary amounts due and payable on any Senior Indebtedness, or (B) there shall have occurred an event of default (other than a default in the payment of principal or interest or other monetary amounts due and payable) in respect of any Senior Indebtedness, as defined therein or in the instrument under which the same is outstanding, permitting the holder or holders thereof to accelerate the maturity thereof (with notice or lapse of time, or both), and such event of default shall have continued beyond the period of grace, if any, in respect thereof, and, in the cases of subclauses (A) and (B) of this clause (ii), such default or Event of Default shall not have been cured or waived or shall not have ceased to exist, or (iii) that the principal of and accrued interest on the Notes shall have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 5.2 of the Original Indenture and such declaration shall not have been rescinded and annulled as provided therein, then:

-14-

(1) The holders of all Senior Indebtedness shall first be entitled to receive payment of the full amount due thereon, or provision shall be made for such payment in money or money’s worth, before the Holders of any of the Notes are entitled to receive a payment on account of the principal of or interest on the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes, including, without limitation, any payments made pursuant to Article 3;

(2) Any payment by, or distribution of assets of, the Issuer of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the Holders of any of the Notes or the Trustees would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article shall be paid or delivered by the person making such payment or distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver, receiver and manager or liquidating trustee or otherwise, directly to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of such Senior Indebtedness held or represented by each, to the extent necessary to make payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution (or provision therefor) to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, before any payment or distribution is made to the holders of the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes or to the Trustees under this instrument; and

(3) In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment by, or distribution of assets of, the Issuer of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, in respect of principal of or interest on the Notes or in connection with any repurchase by the Issuer of the Notes, shall be received by the Trustees or the Holders of any of the Notes before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, or provision made for such payment in money or money’s worth, such payment or distribution in respect of principal of or interest on the Notes or in connection with any repurchase by the Issuer of the Notes shall be paid over to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, ratably as aforesaid, for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid until all such Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution (or provision therefor) to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.

-15-

SECTION 6.2. Disputes with Holders of Certain Senior Indebtedness. Any failure by the Issuer to make any payment on or perform any other obligation under Senior Indebtedness, other than any indebtedness incurred by the Issuer or assumed or guaranteed, directly or indirectly, by the Issuer for money borrowed (or any deferral, renewal, extension or refunding thereof) or any indebtedness or obligation as to which the provisions of this Section shall have been waived by the Issuer in the instrument or instruments by which the Issuer incurred, assumed, guaranteed or otherwise created such indebtedness or obligation, shall not be deemed a default or event of default under Section 6.1(b)(ii) if (1) the Issuer shall be disputing its obligation to make such payment or perform such obligation and (2) either (i) no final judgment relating to such dispute shall have been issued against the Issuer which is in full force and effect and is not subject to further review, including a judgment that has become final by reason of the expiration of the time within which a party may seek further appeal or review, and (ii) in the event of a judgment that is subject to further review or appeal has been issued, the Issuer shall in good faith be prosecuting an appeal or other proceeding for review and a stay of execution shall have been obtained pending such appeal or review.

SECTION 6.3. Subrogation. Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, the Holders of the Notes shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with the holders of all obligations of the Issuer which by their express terms are subordinated to Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer to the same extent as the Notes are subordinated and which are entitled to like rights of subrogation) to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Issuer applicable to the Senior Indebtedness until all amounts owing on the Notes shall be paid in full, and as between the Issuer, its creditors other than holders of such Senior Indebtedness and the Holders, no such payment or distribution made to the holders of Senior Indebtedness by virtue of this Article that otherwise would have been made to the Holders shall be deemed to be a payment by the Issuer on account of such Senior Indebtedness, it being understood that the provisions of this Article are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders, on the one hand, and the holders of Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand.

SECTION 6.4. Obligation of Issuer Unconditional. (a) Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Notes is intended to or shall impair, as among the Issuer, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holders, the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders the principal of and interest on the Notes as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holders and creditors of the Issuer other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Trustees or any Holder from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article of the holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the Issuer received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

(b) Upon payment or distribution of assets of the Issuer referred to in this Article, the Trustees 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 Issuer is pending or upon a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, receiver and manager, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidating trustee or agent or other person making any payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustees 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 Issuer, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article.

-16-

SECTION 6.5. Payments on Notes Permitted. Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Notes shall affect the obligations of the Issuer to make, or prevent the Issuer from making, payment of the principal of or interest on the Notes in accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof, except as otherwise provided in this Article.

SECTION 6.6. Effectuation of Subordination by Trustees. Each Holder of Notes, by its acceptance thereof, authorizes and directs the Trustees on its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this Article and appoints each Trustee its attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

SECTION 6.7. Knowledge of Trustees. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article or any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustees shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment of moneys to or by a Trustee, or the taking of any other action by a Trustee, unless and until such Trustee shall have received written notice thereof mailed or delivered to such Trustee from the Issuer, any Holder, any paying agent or the holder or representative of any class of Senior Indebtedness; provided that if at least three Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any such moneys may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal or interest on any Note) a Trustee shall not have received with respect to such moneys the notice provided for in this Section, then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, such Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such moneys and to apply the same to the purpose for which they were received and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary that may be received by it within three Business Days prior to or on or after such date.

SECTION 6.8. Trustees May Hold Senior Indebtedness. Each Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article with respect to any Senior Indebtedness at the time held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness, and nothing in the Original Indenture or elsewhere in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.

SECTION 6.9. Rights of Holders 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 Issuer or by any noncompliance by the Issuer with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with.

SECTION 6.10. Article Applicable to Paying Agents. In case at any time any paying agent other than a Trustee shall have been appointed by the Issuer and be then acting hereunder, the term “Trustee” as used in this Article shall in such case (unless the context shall require not 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 applicable Trustee; provided, however, that Sections 6.7 and 6.8 shall not apply to the Issuer if it acts as its own paying agent.

SECTION 6.11. Trustee; Compensation Not Prejudiced. Nothing in this Article shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.7 of the Original Indenture.

ISIN: US0158578080

ALGONQUIN POWER & UTILITIES CORP. (the “Issuer”) for value received hereby acknowledges itself indebted and promises to pay to the registered holder hereof (the “Holder”) on July 1, 2079, or on such earlier date as the principal amount hereof may become due in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture hereinafter mentioned, the principal sum of $[●] in lawful money of the United States on presentation and surrender of this Note (as defined below) at the principal office of the U.S. Trustee in the City of New York, New York or such other location as it may designate from time to time, and to pay interest on the principal amount hereof from and including the date hereof, or from and including the last Interest Payment Date (as defined in the Indenture) to which interest shall have been paid or made available for payment on the outstanding Notes, whichever is later, at the rate of 6.20% per annum, payable in arrears, in equal quarterly payments on January 1, April 1, July 1, October 1 in each year (or the next following Business Day if such date is not a Business Day) from May 23, 2019 to, but excluding, July 1, 2024. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the initial interest payment payable on July 1, 2019, will be $0.1636 per $25.00 principal amount of the Notes. From July 1, 2024, and on every Interest Reset Date (as defined in the Indenture) during which the Notes are outstanding thereafter until the Maturity Date, the interest payable on the Notes will be reset as follows: (i) starting on July 1, 2024, on every Interest Reset Date, until July 1, 2029, the interest rate on the Notes will be reset at an interest rate per annum equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 4.01%, payable in arrears, with the first payment at such rate being on October 1, 2024; and (ii) starting on July 1, 2029, on every Interest Reset Date, until July 1, 2049, the interest rate on the Notes will be reset at an interest rate per annum equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 4.26%, payable in arrears, with the first payment at such rate being on October 1, 2029; and (iii) starting on July 1, 2049, on every Interest Reset Date, until the Maturity Date, the interest rate on the Notes will be reset at an interest rate per annum equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 5.01%, payable in arrears, with the first payment at such rate being on October 1, 2049. Subject to Article 5 of the second supplemental indenture referred to below, interest as aforesaid shall be payable after as well as before default, with interest on overdue interest at the same rates and on the same dates.

This Note is one of the 6.20% Fixed-to-Floating Subordinated Notes due July 1, 2079 (the “Notes”) of the Issuer issued or issuable under the provisions of an indenture made as of October 17, 2018, between the Issuer, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as the U.S. Trustee, the U.S. Registrar, the U.S. Paying Agent and the U.S. Transfer Agent (the “U.S. Trustee”), and AST Trust Company (Canada), as the Canadian Trustee, the Canadian Registrar and the Canadian Transfer Agent (the “Canadian Trustee”), as supplemented by the second supplemental indenture dated as of May 23, 2019, between the Issuer, the U.S. Trustee and the Canadian Trustee (which indenture as so supplemented is herein referred to as the “Indenture”). The Notes issuable under the Indenture are unlimited in principal amount. Reference is hereby expressly made to the Indenture for a description of the terms and conditions upon which the Notes are or are to be issued and held and the rights, remedies and obligations of the holders of the Notes, of the Issuer and of the Trustees in respect thereof, all to the same effect as if the provisions of the Indenture were herein set forth, to all of which provisions the Holder by acceptance hereof acknowledges and assents.

So long as no Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) has occurred and is continuing, the Issuer may elect, at its sole option, at any date other than an Interest Payment Date, to defer the interest payable on the Notes on one or more occasions for up to five consecutive years (a “Deferral Period”). There shall be no limit on the number of Deferral Periods that may occur. Such deferral will not constitute an Event of Default or any other breach under the Indenture and the Notes. Deferred interest will accrue, compounding on each subsequent Interest Payment Date, until paid. A Deferral Period terminates on any Interest Payment Date on which the Issuer pays all accrued and unpaid interest on such date. No Deferral Period may extend beyond the Maturity Date.

The Notes are issuable only as fully registered global Notes in minimum denominations of $25.00 and integral multiples of $25.00 in excess thereof. Upon compliance with the provisions of the Indenture, the Notes of any denomination may be exchanged for an equal aggregate principal amount of the Notes in any other authorized denomination or denominations. The Notes are direct obligations of the Issuer but are not secured by any mortgage, pledge, hypothec or other charge.

-2-

The indebtedness evidenced by this Note and by all other Notes now or hereafter certified and delivered under the Indenture is subordinated and subject in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Indenture, to the prior payment in full of all present and future Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the Indenture), whether outstanding at the date of the Indenture or thereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed.

The right is reserved to the Issuer to purchase or redeem the Notes for cancellation, and in certain circumstances the Issuer will be required to redeem the Notes, in all cases in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.

The Notes will be automatically converted into Conversion Preferred Shares (as defined in the Indenture) upon an Automatic Conversion Event (as defined in the Indenture), in the manner, with the effect and as of the effective time contemplated in the Indenture.

The Indenture contains provisions making binding upon all Holders of the Notes outstanding thereunder resolutions passed at meetings of Holders of the Notes held in accordance with such provisions and instruments signed by the Holders of a specified majority of the Notes.

This Note may only be transferred, upon compliance with the conditions prescribed in the Indenture, in one of the registers to be kept at the principal office of the U.S. Trustee or other registrar in the City of New York, New York by the Holder or such Holder’s executors or administrators or other legal representatives or such Holder’s attorney duly appointed by an instrument in form and substance satisfactory to the U.S. Trustee or other registrar, and upon compliance with such reasonable requirements as the U.S. Trustee and/or other registrar may prescribe.

This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New York.

This Note shall not become obligatory for any purpose until it shall have been authenticated by the U.S. Trustee in accordance with the Indenture.
