NOW, THEREFORE, THIS THIRD SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WITNESSETH:

For and in consideration of the premises stated herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS

Section 1.1. Certain Terms Defined in the Indenture. For purposes of this Third Supplemental Indenture, all capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Original Indenture, as amended and supplemented hereby.

Section 1.2. Definitions. For all purposes of this Third Supplemental Indenture:

“Acquired Indebtedness” means Indebtedness of a Person (1) existing at the time such Person is merged or consolidated with or into, or becomes a Consolidated Subsidiary of the Guarantor or the Company, or (2) assumed by the Guarantor, the Company or any of the Consolidated Subsidiaries in connection with the acquisition of assets from such Person. Acquired Indebtedness shall be deemed to be Incurred on the date the acquired Person is merged or consolidated with or into, or becomes a Consolidated Subsidiary or the date of the related acquisition, as the case may be.

“Confidential Datasite” has the meaning set forth in Section 2.5 hereto.

“Consolidated Financial Statements” means, collectively, the consolidated financial statements and notes to those financial statements of the Guarantor and the Company prepared in accordance with GAAP.

“Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service” means, for any period of time, the Consolidated Net Income for such period, plus amounts which have been deducted and minus amounts which have been added for, without duplication:

In each case for such period, the Company will reasonably determine amounts in accordance with GAAP, except to the extent GAAP is not applicable with respect to the determination of non-cash and non-recurring items.

- 2 -

“Consolidated Net Income” means, for any period of time, the amount of net income, or loss, for the Guarantor, the Company and the Consolidated Subsidiaries for such period, excluding, without duplication, extraordinary items and the portion of net income, but not losses, for the Guarantor, the Company and the Consolidated Subsidiaries allocable to noncontrolling interests in unconsolidated Persons to the extent that cash dividends or distributions allocable to noncontrolling interests in unconsolidated Persons have not actually been received by the Guarantor, the Company or any of the Consolidated Subsidiaries, all determined in accordance with GAAP.

“Consolidated Subsidiary” means each Subsidiary of the Guarantor or the Company that is consolidated in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP.

“GAAP” means generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America as in effect on the date of any required calculation or determination.

“Incur” means, with respect to any Indebtedness or other obligation of the Guarantor, the Company or any of the Consolidated Subsidiaries, to create, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable in respect of the Indebtedness or other obligation, and “Incurrence” and “Incurred” have meanings correlative to the foregoing. Indebtedness or other obligation of the Guarantor, the Company or any of the Consolidated Subsidiaries will be deemed to be Incurred by the Guarantor, the Company or such Consolidated Subsidiary whenever the Guarantor, the Company or such Consolidated Subsidiary shall create, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable in respect thereof. Indebtedness or other obligations of a Consolidated Subsidiary existing prior to the time it became a Consolidated Subsidiary will be deemed to be Incurred upon such Subsidiary becoming a Consolidated Subsidiary.

Any issuance or transfer of capital stock that results in Indebtedness constituting Intercompany Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Guarantor, the Company or any Consolidated Subsidiary, or any sale or other transfer of any Indebtedness constituting Intercompany Indebtedness to a Person that is not the Guarantor, the Company or any Consolidated Subsidiary, will be deemed, in each case, to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness that is not Intercompany Indebtedness at the time of such issuance, transfer or sale, as the case may be.

“Indebtedness” means, without duplication, any indebtedness of the Guarantor, the Company or any Consolidated Subsidiary, whether or not contingent, in respect of: (a) borrowed money evidenced by bonds, notes, debentures or similar instruments whether or not such indebtedness is secured by any lien existing on property owned by the Guarantor, the Company or any Consolidated Subsidiary; (b) indebtedness for borrowed money of a Person other than the Guarantor, the Company or any Consolidated Subsidiary which is secured by any lien on property owned by the Guarantor, the Company or any Consolidated Subsidiary, to the extent of the lesser of (i) the amount of indebtedness so secured, and (ii) the fair market value of the property subject to such lien; (c) the reimbursement obligations, contingent or otherwise, in connection with any letters of credit actually issued or amounts representing the balance deferred and unpaid of the purchase price of any property or services, except any such balance that constitutes an accrued

Indebtedness also includes, to the extent not otherwise included, any obligation by the Guarantor, the Company or any Consolidated Subsidiary to be liable for, or to pay, as obligor, guarantor or otherwise (other than for purposes of collection in the ordinary course of business), indebtedness of another Person (other than the Guarantor, the Company or any Consolidated Subsidiary) of the type described in clauses (a)-(d) of this definition.

“Intercompany Indebtedness” means Indebtedness to which the only parties are any of the Guarantor, the Company and any Consolidated Subsidiary; provided, however, that with respect to any such Indebtedness of which the Guarantor or the Company is the borrower, such Indebtedness is subordinate in right of payment to the Securities of any series issued under the Indenture.

“Interest Expense” means, for any period of time, the maximum amount payable for interest on, and original issue discount of, Indebtedness, determined in accordance with GAAP.

“Par Call Date” means September 15, 2028 (one month prior to the Stated Maturity of the Notes).

“Secured Debt” means, as of any date, that portion of principal amount of outstanding Indebtedness, excluding Intercompany Indebtedness, of the Guarantor, the Company and the Consolidated Subsidiaries as of that date that is secured by a mortgage, trust deed, deed of trust, deeds to secure Indebtedness, pledge, security interest, assignment for collateral purposes, deposit arrangement, or other security agreement, excluding any right of setoff but including, without limitation, any conditional sale or other title retention agreement, any financing lease having substantially the same economic effect as any of the foregoing, and any other like agreement granting or conveying a security interest, but excluding any operating leases in accordance with GAAP.

“Total Assets” means, as of any time, the sum of, without duplication, Undepreciated Real Estate Assets and all other assets, excluding accounts receivable and intangibles, of the Guarantor, the Company and the Consolidated Subsidiaries, all determined in accordance with GAAP.

“Total Unencumbered Assets” means, as of any time, the sum of, without duplication, those Undepreciated Real Estate Assets which are not subject to a lien securing Indebtedness and all other assets, excluding accounts receivable and intangibles, of the Guarantor, the Company and the Consolidated Subsidiaries not subject to a lien securing Indebtedness, all determined in accordance with GAAP; provided, however, that all investments by the Guarantor, the Company or the Consolidated Subsidiaries in unconsolidated joint ventures, unconsolidated limited partnerships, unconsolidated limited liability companies and other nonconsolidated entities shall be excluded from Total Unencumbered Assets to the extent that such investments would have otherwise been included.

- 4 -

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the yield determined by the Company in accordance with the following two paragraphs.

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding the date of the notice of redemption based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appears or appear, as applicable, after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily) — H.15” (or any successor designation or publication), or H.15, under the caption “U.S. government securities — Treasury constant maturities — Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading), or H.15 TCM. In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the Redemption Date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields — one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life — and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the Redemption Date.

If on the third Business Day preceding the date of the notice of redemption H.15 TCM or any successor designation or publication is no longer published, the Company shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding such date of notice of redemption of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

- 5 -

“Undepreciated Real Estate Assets” means, as of any time, the cost (original cost plus capital improvements) of the real estate assets, right of use assets associated with a financing lease in accordance with GAAP and related intangibles of the Guarantor, the Company and the Consolidated Subsidiaries on such date, before depreciation and amortization, all determined in accordance with GAAP; provided, however, that “Undepreciated Real Estate Assets” shall not include the right of use assets associated with an operating lease in accordance with GAAP.

“Unsecured Debt” means that portion of the outstanding principal amount of Indebtedness, excluding Intercompany Indebtedness, that is not Secured Debt.

Section 2.5. Reports. The first sentence of Section 4.02 of the Original Indenture shall be superseded and replaced by the following:

For as long as the Notes are outstanding, the Company will file with the Trustee, within 15 days after the Company is required to file the same with the SEC, copies of the annual and quarterly reports and the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the SEC may from time to time by rules and regulations prescribe) that the Company may be required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or, if the Company is not required to file information, documents or reports with the SEC pursuant to either Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company will file, to the extent permitted by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, with the Trustee and the SEC, in accordance with any other rules and regulations that may be prescribed from time to time by the SEC, such annual and quarterly reports and supplementary and periodic information, documents and reports that may be required pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in respect of a security listed and registered on a national securities exchange as may be prescribed from time to time by the SEC in such rules and regulations.

If the Company elects to furnish such reports via a Confidential Datasite, then access to such Confidential Datasite will be provided promptly upon request to holders and beneficial owners of, and bona fide potential investors in, the Notes as well as securities analysts and market makers and no such request for access to such Confidential Datasite will be unreasonably denied.

For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that, with respect to the Notes, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such Section or such other covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere in the Indenture to any such Section or such other covenant or by reason of reference in any such Section or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01(4) of the Original Indenture (as such Section 6.01(4) has been restated in Article III of this Third Supplemental Indenture), but, except as specified above, the remainder of the Indenture with regard to the Notes shall be unaffected thereby.

No. R-1

CUSIP: 76132F AC1

ISIN: US76132FAC14

RETAIL OPPORTUNITY INVESTMENTS PARTNERSHIP, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Company”), which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, the principal amount of THREE HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS ($350,000,000) on October 15, 2028 (the “Stated Maturity Date”) (unless redeemed on any date fixed for redemption (the “Redemption Date”) prior to the Stated Maturity Date in accordance with the terms of this Note and the Indenture) (each of the Stated Maturity Date and the Redemption Date is hereinafter referred to as the “Maturity Date” with respect to the principal repayable on such date) and to pay interest on the outstanding principal amount of this Note from and including September 21, 2023, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, as applicable, semiannually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on April 15, 2024 (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), and, if applicable, on the Maturity Date, at the rate of 6.750% per annum, until said principal amount is paid or duly provided for. Interest on this Note will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

Payment of Interest. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on April 1 or October 1, whether or not a Business Day, as the case may be, immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date (the “Regular Record Date”). Any such interest not punctually paid or duly provided for on an Interest Payment Date (“Defaulted Interest”) will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on a special record date (the “Special Record Date”) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Notes not less than 15 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner, all as more fully provided in the Base Indenture.

Optional Redemption. The provisions of Article III of the Base Indenture (as defined below), other than Sections 3.04, 3.07 and 3.08 of the Base Indenture, shall apply to this Note, as supplemented or amended by the following paragraph.

The Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, in each case prior to the Par Call Date (as defined below), for cash at a redemption price equal to the greater of:

(1) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (including interest accrued to, but excluding, the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date (assuming the Notes matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 40 basis points less (b) interest accrued to, but excluding, the Redemption Date; and

(2) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed,

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date.

In addition, at any time on or after the Par Call Date, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the applicable Redemption Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will pay any interest installment due on an Interest Payment Date that falls on or prior to the Redemption Date to the Holders of the Notes as of the close of business on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date.

“Par Call Date” means September 15, 2028 (one month prior to the Stated Maturity Date of the Notes).

“Redemption Date”, with respect to any Note or portion thereof to be redeemed, means the date fixed for such redemption pursuant to the Indenture or such Note.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the yield determined by the Company in accordance with the following two paragraphs.

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding the date of the notice of redemption based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appears or appear, as applicable, after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily) — H.15” (or any successor designation or publication), or H.15, under the caption “U.S. government securities — Treasury constant maturities — Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading), or H.15 TCM. In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the Redemption Date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields — one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life — and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the Redemption Date.

If on the third Business Day preceding the date of the notice of redemption H.15 TCM or any successor designation or publication is no longer published, the Company shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding such date of notice of redemption of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

Place of Payment. The Company will make payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, this Note in immediately available funds at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or such other office or agency as may be designated by the Company for such purpose in St. ▇▇▇▇, MN, in U.S. dollars.

Time of Payment. If an Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be, and no additional interest shall accrue on such payment as a result of payment on such next succeeding Business Day.

Withholding. The Company shall be permitted to withhold from any payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, this Note, whether on an Interest Payment Date or at Maturity, any amounts that the Company is required to withhold by law.

General. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company, issued and to be issued in one or more series under an indenture (the “Base Indenture”), dated as of December 9, 2013, among the Company, Retail Opportunity Investments Corp., as guarantor (the “Guarantor”), and ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, National Association, as supplemented by a Third Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated as of September 21, 2023 (the “Third Supplemental Indenture,” and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantor and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as successor to ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with respect to the series of Securities of which this Note is a part). Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Securities designated as “6.750% Senior Notes due 2028” (collectively, the “Notes”), limited, except as specified below, in aggregate principal amount to THREE HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS ($350,000,000). To the extent the terms of this Note conflict with the terms of the Indenture, the terms of this Note shall govern.

Further Issuance. The Company may, from time to time, without notice to, or the consent of, the Holders of the Notes, create and issue additional Securities (“Additional Securities”) ranking equally and ratably with, and having the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as, the originally issued Notes (other than the issue date and, to the extent applicable, issue price, initial date of interest accrual and initial Interest Payment Date); provided, that such issuance complies with the covenants set forth in the Indenture. Any such Additional Securities will be consolidated, and constitute a single series of Securities, with the originally issued Notes for all purposes under the Indenture; provided, however, that any such Additional Securities that have the same CUSIP, ISIN or other identifying number of any Notes then outstanding must be fungible with such Notes then outstanding for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Events of Default. If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal amount of the Notes may be declared, and in certain cases shall automatically become, due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

Sinking Fund. The Notes are not subject to, or entitled to the benefits of, any sinking fund.

Satisfaction and Discharge. The Indenture contains provisions where, upon the Company’s direction and satisfaction of certain conditions, the Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to the Notes, subject to the survival of specified provisions of the Indenture.

Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance. The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance of certain obligations of the Company under this Note and the Indenture and covenant defeasance of certain obligations of the Company under the Indenture.

Modification and Waivers; Obligations of the Company Absolute. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the Guarantor and the rights of the Holders of the Securities. Such amendment and modification may be effected under the Indenture as follows: (i) an amendment or supplement to the Indenture or the Securities may be effected with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series then outstanding; and (ii) a supplement with regard to a series of Securities, an amendment or supplement to a Supplemental Indenture relating to a series of Securities or an amendment of the Securities of a series may be effected with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of that series then outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series then outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series then outstanding, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture. Furthermore, provisions in the Indenture permit the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series to waive, on behalf of the Holders of all Outstanding Securities of such series, certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver in respect of the Notes shall be conclusive and binding upon the Holder of this Note and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

The Company shall give the Trustee written notice of any modification of this Note that may be a material modification under Section 1.1471-2(b) of the regulations promulgated by the U.S. Treasury Department (the “Treasury Regulations”). The Trustee shall assume that no material modification for purposes of Section 1.1471- 2(b) of the Treasury Regulations has occurred regarding the Securities, unless the Trustee receives written notice of such modification from the Company.

Limitation on Suits. As set forth in, and subject to, the provisions of the Indenture, no Holder of any Note will have any right to pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture, except in the case of failure of the Trustee, for 60 days, to act after it has received a written request to pursue the remedy in respect of an Event of Default from the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, as well as an offer of security or indemnity satisfactory to it, and no contrary direction has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture, each Holder of a Note will have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, such Note on the respective due dates therefor and to institute suit for the enforcement therefor, and this right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

Authorized Denominations. The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Registration of Transfer or Exchange. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations herein and therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the register of the Notes maintained by the Registrar upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer, at the Corporate Trust Office, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

Defined Terms. All terms used but not defined in this Note shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
