This Bond of the Fifty-Sixth Series (this “Bond”) is one of a duly authorized issue of Bonds of the Company (the “Bonds”) issued and issuable in one or more series under and equally secured by an Indenture of Mortgage, dated as of June 19, 2020 (such Indenture as originally executed and delivered and as supplemented or amended from time to time thereafter, together with any constituent instruments establishing the terms of particular Bonds, being herein called the “Mortgage Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Mortgage Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Mortgage Indenture for a description of the property mortgaged, pledged and held in trust, the nature and extent of the security and the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Bonds thereunder and of the terms and conditions upon which the Bonds are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The acceptance of this Bond shall be deemed to constitute the consent and agreement by the Holder hereof to all of the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Indenture.

This Bond is issued to the Administrative Agent by the Company pursuant to the Company’s obligations under the Loan Documents.

This Bond is not subject to redemption prior to the Maturity Date specified above.

As provided in the Mortgage Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Bond or any portion of the principal amount hereof will be deemed to have been paid for all purposes of the Mortgage Indenture and to be no longer Outstanding thereunder, and the Company’s entire indebtedness in respect thereof will be satisfied and discharged, if there has been irrevocably deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent (other than the Company), in trust, money in an amount which will be sufficient and/or Eligible Obligations, the principal of and interest on which when due, without regard to any reinvestment thereof, will provide moneys which, together with money, if any, deposited with or held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent, will be sufficient to pay when due the principal of and interest with respect to this Bond when due, assuming all extensions of credit under the Letter of Credit Agreement outstanding at the time of such deposit were fully drawn.

If an Event of Default (as defined in the Letter of Credit Agreement) shall have occurred under Section 8 of the Letter of Credit Agreement by reason of a failure by the Company to make a payment with respect to any Reimbursement Obligation when the same shall be due and payable (including by acceleration) pursuant to the Loan Documents, it shall be deemed to be an Event of Default, for purposes of Section 10.01 of the Mortgage Indenture, in payment of an amount of principal of this Bond equal to the amount of such unpaid Reimbursement Obligation (but, in no event, in excess of the face amount (maximum principal amount) of this Bond). If an Event of Default (as defined in the Letter of Credit Agreement) shall have occurred under Section 8 of the Letter of Credit Agreement by reason of a failure by the Company to make a payment of any Interest Amount or any other Obligation (other than a Reimbursement Obligation) when the same shall be due and payable (including by acceleration) pursuant to the Loan Documents, it shall be deemed to be an Event of Default, for purposes of Section 10.01 of the Mortgage Indenture, in the payment of an amount of interest with respect to this Bond equal to the amount of such unpaid Interest Amount or amount of such other Obligation. The Company’s obligation with respect to this Bond shall be fully satisfied when (and the holder hereof shall surrender this Bond to, or upon the order of, the Company for cancellation) the Letter of Credit Agreement shall have been terminated and all of the Obligations and Interest Amounts then due and payable shall have been duly paid by the Company and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or terminated. At the time of surrender of this Bond, the holder hereof

shall deliver such appropriate instruments of transfer or release as may reasonably be requested by the Company.

If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing as provided in the Mortgage Indenture, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of Bonds then Outstanding, considered as one class, may declare the principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding to be due and payable immediately by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders); provided, however, that with respect to certain Events of Default relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and similar events, the principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding shall be due and payable immediately without further action by the Trustee or the Holders.

The Mortgage Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the Trustee to enter into one or more supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, the Mortgage Indenture with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding, considered as one class; provided, however, that if there shall be Bonds of more than one series Outstanding under the Mortgage Indenture and if a proposed supplemental indenture shall directly affect the rights of the Holders of Bonds of one or more, but less than all, of such series, then the consent only of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of all series so directly affected, considered as one class, shall be required; and provided, further, that if the Bonds of any series shall have been issued in more than one Tranche and if a proposed supplemental indenture shall directly affect the rights of the Holders of Bonds of one or more, but less than all, of such Tranches, then the consent only of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds of all Tranches so directly affected, considered as one class, shall be required; and provided, further, that the Mortgage Indenture permits the Company and the Trustee to enter into one or more supplemental indentures for certain purposes without the consent of any Holders of Bonds; and provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not change the voting requirements under Section 14.02 of the Mortgage Indenture, which for the avoidance of doubt, require the consent of the Holders of each Outstanding Bond of each series or Tranche in certain circumstances. The Mortgage Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Bonds, on behalf of the Holders of all such Bonds, to waive certain past defaults under the Mortgage Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Bond shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Bond and of any Bond issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Bond. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no supplemental indenture shall amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 10.07 of the Mortgage Indenture without the consent of the Holders.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Mortgage Indenture, the Holder of this Bond shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Mortgage Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default, the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of Bonds at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such written request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Bond for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or interest with respect hereto on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

No reference herein to the Mortgage Indenture and no provision of this Bond or of the Mortgage Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest with respect to this Bond at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

For all purposes of the Mortgage Indenture, the principal amount of this Bond Outstanding as of any date of calculation shall be equal to the Obligations outstanding under the Loan Documents as of such date.

This Bond is issuable in the denomination of $75,000,000 or such greater or lesser amount equal to the face amount of this Bond as provided herein.

As provided in the Mortgage Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein and herein, the transfer of this Bond is registrable in the Bond Register, upon surrender of this Bond for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and interest with respect to this Bond are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee or the Bond Registrar, as the case may be, duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Bonds of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

Before any transfer of this Bond by the Holder or such Holder’s legal representative will be recognized or given effect by the Company or the Trustee, the Holder shall note the then current principal amount payable on this Bond, the interest accrued to the date of such transfer and the then current face amount of this Bond, and shall notify the Company and the Trustee of the name and address of the transferee and shall afford the Company and the Trustee the opportunity of verifying the notation as to such then current principal amount payable on this Bond, the interest accrued to the date of such transfer and the then current face amount of this Bond. By acceptance hereof the Holder of this Bond and each transferee shall be deemed to have agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Trustee against all losses, claims, damages or liability arising out of any failure on part of the Holder or of any such transferee to comply with the requirements of the preceding sentence.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Prior to due presentment of this Bond for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Bond is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Bond be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

This Bond shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws thereunder, except to the extent that the Trust Indenture Act shall be applicable.

As provided in the Mortgage Indenture, no recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or interest with respect to this Bond, or any part thereof, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof, or of the indebtedness represented hereby, or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement under the Mortgage Indenture, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation (either directly or through the Company or a predecessor or successor corporation), whether by virtue of any constitutional provision, statute or rule of law or

by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that the Mortgage Indenture and all the Bonds are solely corporate obligations and that any such personal liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as part of the consideration for, the execution of the Mortgage Indenture and the issuance of this Bond.

Anything in this Bond, the Mortgage Indenture, or the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, any payment by the Company of principal of or interest on this Bond shall be applied by the holder hereof to the payment of any amounts owing by the Company on the Obligations and Interest Amounts that are then due or are to become due, and shall, to the extent of such application, for all purposes, satisfy and discharge the obligation of the Company to make such payment on such Obligations and Interest Amounts, respectively.

Anything in this Bond, the Mortgage Indenture, or the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, any payment by the Company of the Obligations and Interest Amounts pursuant to the Loan Documents shall, to the extent thereof, for all purposes, satisfy and discharge the obligation of the Company to make a payment of principal or interest, as the case may be, in respect of this Bond that is then due or is to become due.
