rate and on the dates that payments of interest (including Additional Interest, as defined in the Indenture) are made on the Debentures. Accordingly: 
 (i) Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be cumulative, and will accumulate whether or not there are funds of the Issuer Trust available for the payment of Distributions. 
  

 14 








 Distributions shall accumulate from October 28, 2009 and, except in the
event (and to the extent) that the Depositor exercises its right to defer the payment of interest on the Debentures pursuant to the Sixth Supplemental Indenture, shall be payable quarterly in arrears on
February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1 of each year, commencing on February 1, 2010. If any date on which Distributions are payable on the Trust Securities is not a Business Day, then payment of the
Distribution payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay), with the same force and effect as if made on such payment date (each date on
which distributions are payable in accordance with this Section 4.1(a), a “Distribution Date”). 
 (ii) In the
event (and to the extent) that the Depositor exercises its right under the Sixth Supplemental Indenture to defer the payment of interest on the Debentures, Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be deferred but shall continue to accumulate.
Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be payable on the Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities at the rate per annum equal to 8.10%. The amount of Distributions payable for any quarterly period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year of twelve 30-day months and on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed during the relevant period, respectively. The amount of Distributions payable for any period shall include any Additional Amounts, if any, in
respect of such period. 
 (iii) Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be made by the Property Trustee from the Payment
Account and shall be payable on each Distribution Date only to the extent that the Issuer Trust has funds then on hand and available in the Payment Account for the payment of such Distributions. 
 (b) Distributions on the Trust Securities with respect to a Distribution Date shall be payable to the Holders thereof as
they appear on the Securities Register for the Trust Securities at the close of business on the relevant record date for such Distribution Date, which shall be the first day of the month (whether or not a Business Day) prior to the month in which
the relevant Distribution Date occurs; provided, however, that so long as the Capital Securities are Book-Entry Capital Securities, the record date for such Capital Securities will be one Business Day before the relevant Distribution Date.
Distributions payable on any Trust Securities that are not punctually paid on any Distribution Date will cease to be payable to the Person in whose name such Trust Securities are registered on the relevant record date, and such defaulted
Distribution will instead be payable to the Person in whose name such Trust Securities are registered on the special record date or other specified date for determining Holders entitled to such defaulted interest established in accordance with the
Indenture and the Sixth Supplemental Indenture. 
 SECTION 4.2. Redemption. 
 (a) On each Debenture Redemption Date and on the maturity of the Debentures, the Issuer Trust will be required to redeem a Like Amount of
Trust Securities at the Redemption Price. 
 (b) Notice of redemption shall be given by the Property Trustee by first-class
mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Trust Securities to be redeemed, at such Holder’s address appearing in the Security Register. All notices of redemption shall
state: 
 (i) the Redemption Date; 
  

 15 








 (ii) the Redemption Price or if the Redemption Price cannot be calculated prior to the time
the notice is required to be sent, the estimate of the Redemption Price together with a statement that it is an estimate and that the actual Redemption Price will be calculated on the third Business Day prior to the Redemption Date (and if an
estimate is provided, a further notice shall be sent of the actual Redemption Price on the date that such Redemption Price is calculated); 
 (iii) the CUSIP number or CUSIP numbers of the Capital Securities affected; 
 (iv) if less than all the Outstanding Trust Securities are to be redeemed, the identification and the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the particular Trust Securities to be redeemed; 
 (v) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Trust Security to be redeemed and that
Distributions thereon will cease to accumulate on and after said date, except as provided in Section 4.2(d) below; and 
 (vi) if the Capital Securities are no longer in book-entry-only form, the place or places where the Capital Securities Certificates are to be surrendered for the payment of the Redemption Price. 
 (c) The Trust Securities redeemed on each Redemption Date shall be redeemed at the Redemption Price with the proceeds from the
contemporaneous redemption of Debentures. Redemptions of the Trust Securities shall be made and the Redemption Price shall be payable on each Redemption Date only to the extent that the Issuer Trust has funds then on hand and available in the
Payment Account for the payment of such Redemption Price. 
 (d) If the Property Trustee gives a notice of redemption in respect
of any Capital Securities, then, by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Redemption Date, subject to Section 4.2(c), the Property Trustee will, with respect to Book-Entry Capital Securities, irrevocably deposit with the Clearing Agency for
such Book-Entry Capital Securities, to the extent available therefor, funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price and will give such Clearing Agency irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Redemption Price to the Holders of the
Capital Securities. With respect to Capital Securities that are not Book-Entry Capital Securities, the Property Trustee, subject to Section 4.2(c), will irrevocably deposit with the Paying Agent, to the extent available therefor, funds
sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price and will give the Paying Agent irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Redemption Price to the Holders of the Capital Securities upon surrender of their Capital Securities Certificates.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Distributions payable on or prior to the Redemption Date for any Trust Securities called for redemption shall be payable to the Holders of such Trust Securities as they appear on the Securities Register for the Trust
Securities on the relevant record dates for the related Distribution Dates. If notice of redemption shall have been given and funds deposited as required, then upon the date of such deposit, all rights of Holders holding Trust Securities so called
for redemption will cease, except the right of such Holders to receive the Redemption Price and any Distribution payable in respect of the Trust Securities on or prior to the Redemption Date, but without interest, and such Trust Securities will
cease to be outstanding. In the event that any date on which any Redemption Price is payable is not a Business Day, then payment of the Redemption Price payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (without any
interest or other payment in respect of any such delay), with the same force and effect as if made on such date. In the event that payment of the

  

 16 








 
Redemption Price in respect of any Trust Securities called for redemption is improperly withheld or refused and not paid either by the Issuer Trust or by the Depositor pursuant to the Guarantee,
Distributions on such Trust Securities will continue to accumulate, as set forth in Section 4.1, from the Redemption Date originally established by the Issuer Trust for such Trust Securities to the date such Redemption Price is actually paid,
in which case the actual payment date will be the date fixed for redemption for purposes of calculating the Redemption Price. 
 (e) Subject to Section 4.3(a), if less than all the Outstanding Trust Securities are to be redeemed on a Redemption Date, then the aggregate Liquidation Amount of Trust Securities to be redeemed shall be allocated pro rata to the
Common Securities and the Capital Securities based upon the relative Liquidation Amounts of such classes. The particular Capital Securities to be redeemed shall be selected on a pro rata basis based upon their respective Liquidation Amounts not more
than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Property Trustee from the Outstanding Capital Securities not previously called for redemption, provided that so long as the Capital Securities are in book-entry-only form, such selection shall be made
in accordance with the customary procedures for the Clearing Agency for the Capital Securities. The Property Trustee shall promptly notify the Securities Registrar in writing of the Capital Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any
Capital Securities selected for partial redemption, the Liquidation Amount thereof to be redeemed. For all purposes of this Trust Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Capital Securities shall
relate, in the case of any Capital Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of Capital Securities that has been or is to be redeemed. 
 SECTION 4.3. Subordination of Common Securities. 
 (a) Payment of Distributions (including any Additional Amounts) on, the Redemption Price of, and the Liquidation Distribution in respect of, the Trust Securities, as applicable, shall be made, subject to
Section 4.2(e), pro rata among the Common Securities and the Capital Securities based on the Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities; provided, however, that if on any Distribution Date, Redemption Date or Liquidation Date a Debenture
Payment Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no payment of any Distribution (including any Additional Amounts) on, Redemption Price of, or Liquidation Distribution in respect of, any Common Security, and no other payment on account of the
redemption, liquidation or other acquisition of Common Securities, shall be made unless payment in full in cash of all accumulated and unpaid Distributions (including any Additional Amounts) on all Outstanding Capital Securities for all Distribution
Periods terminating on or prior thereto, or in the case of payment of the Redemption Price the full amount of such Redemption Price on all Outstanding Capital Securities then called for redemption, or in the case of payment of the Liquidation
Distribution the full amount of such Liquidation Distribution on all Outstanding Capital Securities, shall have been made or provided for, and all funds immediately available to the Property Trustee shall first be applied to the payment in full in
cash of all Distributions (including any Additional Amounts) on, or the Redemption Price of, the Capital Securities then due and payable. 
 (b) In the case of the occurrence of any Event of Default resulting from any Debenture Event of Default, the Holders of the Common Securities shall have no right to act with respect to any such Event of
Default under this Trust Agreement until the effect of all such Events of Default with respect to the Capital Securities have been cured, waived or otherwise eliminated. Until all such Events of Default under this Trust Agreement with respect to the
Capital Securities have been so cured, waived or otherwise eliminated, the Property Trustee shall act solely on behalf of the Holders of the Capital Securities and not on behalf of the Holders of the Common Securities, and only the Holders of the
Capital Securities will have the right to direct the Property Trustee to act on their behalf. 
  

 17 








 SECTION 4.4. Payment Procedures. 
 Payments of Distributions (including any Additional Amounts) in respect of the Capital Securities shall be made by check mailed to the
address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear on the Securities Register or, if the Capital Securities are held by a Clearing Agency, such Distributions shall be made to the Clearing Agency in immediately available funds.

in each taxable year of the Issuer Trust, and (b) prepare and furnish (or cause to be prepared and furnished) to each Holder all Internal Revenue Service forms required to be provided by the Issuer Trust. The Administrative Trustees shall

Capital Securities or other similar interests in the Issuer Trust the amounts due such Holders pursuant to the terms of the Capital Securities or such other similar interests, as the case may be), including, without limitation, any taxes, duties or
other governmental charges of whatever nature (other than withholding taxes) imposed on the Issuer Trust by the United States or any other taxing authority. Such payment obligation includes any such costs, expenses or liabilities of the Issuer Trust
that are required by applicable law to be satisfied in connection with a dissolution of the Issuer Trust. 
 SECTION 4.7.
Payments under Indenture or Pursuant to Direct Actions. 
 Any amount payable hereunder to any Holder of Capital Securities (or

 SECTION 5.2. The Trust Securities Certificates. 
 The Capital Securities Certificates shall be issued in minimum denominations of $25 Liquidation Amount and integral multiples of $25 in
excess thereof, and the Common Securities Certificates shall be issued in denominations of $25 Liquidation Amount and integral multiples thereof. The Trust Securities Certificates shall be (a) executed on behalf of the Issuer Trust by manual or
facsimile signature of at least one Administrative Trustee and (b) authenticated by the Property Trustee by manual or facsimile signature of an authorized signatory thereof. Trust Securities Certificates bearing the manual signatures of
individuals who were, at the time when such signatures shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Issuer Trust or the Property Trustee or, if executed on behalf of the Issuer Trust or the Property Trustee by facsimile,
countersigned by the Securities Registrar or its agent, shall be validly issued and entitled to the benefits of this Trust Agreement, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so authorized prior to the delivery of
such Trust Securities Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of delivery of such Trust Securities Certificates. A transferee of a Trust Securities Certificate shall become a Holder, and shall be entitled to the rights and subject to
the obligations of a Holder hereunder, upon due registration of such Trust Securities Certificate in such transferee’s name pursuant to Sections 5.4, 5.11 and 5.13. 
 SECTION 5.3. Execution and Delivery of Trust Securities Certificates. 
 At the
Time of Delivery, the Administrative Trustees shall cause Trust Securities Certificates, in an aggregate Liquidation Amount as provided in Sections 2.4 and 2.5, to be executed on behalf of the Issuer Trust, authenticated and delivered to or upon the
written order of the Depositor, executed by one authorized officer thereof, without further corporate action by the Depositor, in authorized denominations. 
 SECTION 5.4. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Capital Securities Certificates. 
 The Depositor shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 5.8, a register or registers for the purpose of registering Trust Securities Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Capital
Securities Certificates (the “Securities Register”) in which the transfer agent and registrar designated by the Depositor (the “Securities Registrar”), subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, shall provide for
the registration of Capital Securities Certificates and Common Securities Certificates (subject to Section 5.10 in the case of the Common Securities Certificates) and registration of transfers and exchanges of Capital Securities Certificates as
herein provided. U.S. Bank shall be the initial Securities Registrar. 
 Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any
Capital Securities Certificate at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 5.8, the Administrative Trustees or any one of them shall execute on behalf of the Issuer Trust (and if executed on behalf of the Issuer Trust by a facsimile
signature, such certificate shall be countersigned by the Securities Registrar or its agent) and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Capital Securities Certificates in authorized denominations of a like
aggregate Liquidation Amount dated the date of execution by such Administrative Trustee or Trustees. The Securities Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of any Capital Securities that have been called for redemption during a
period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of selection for such redemption. 
  

 19 








 At the option of a Holder, Capital Securities Certificates may be exchanged for other
Capital Securities Certificates in authorized denominations of the same class and of a like aggregate Liquidation Amount upon surrender of the Capital Securities Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency maintained pursuant to
Section 5.8. 
 Every Capital Securities Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to an Administrative Trustee and the Securities Registrar duly executed by the Holder of his attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Capital Securities Certificate
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently disposed of by an Administrative Trustee or the Securities Registrar in accordance with such Person’s customary practice. 
 No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Capital Securities Certificates, but the Securities
Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Capital Securities Certificates. 
 SECTION 5.5. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Trust Securities Certificates. 
 If (a) any mutilated Trust Securities Certificate shall be surrendered to the Securities Registrar, or if the Securities Registrar
shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Trust Securities Certificate, and (b) there shall be delivered to the Securities Registrar and the Administrative Trustees such security or indemnity as may be
required by them to save each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice that such Trust Securities Certificate shall have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Administrative Trustees, or any one of them, on behalf of the Issuer Trust
shall execute and make available for delivery, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Trust Securities Certificate, a new Trust Securities Certificate of like class, tenor and denomination. In connection with the
issuance of any new Trust Securities Certificate under this Section 5.5, the Administrative Trustees or the Securities Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection therewith. Any duplicate Trust Securities Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of an undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the Issuer Trust corresponding to that evidenced by the lost,
stolen or destroyed Trust Securities Certificate, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Trust Securities Certificate shall be found at any time. 
 SECTION 5.6. Persons Deemed Holders. 
 The Issuer Trustees and the Securities Registrar shall each treat the Person in whose name any Trust Securities Certificate shall be registered in the Securities Register as the owner of such Trust
Securities Certificate for the purpose of receiving Distributions and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Issuer Trustees and the Securities Registrar shall be bound by any notice to the contrary. 
 SECTION 5.7. Access to List of Holders’ Names and Addresses. 
 Each Holder and each Owner shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold the Depositor, the Property Trustee, the Delaware Trustee or the
Administrative Trustees accountable by reason of the disclosure of its name and address, regardless of the source from which such information was derived. 
  

 20 








 SECTION 5.8. Maintenance of Office or Agency. 
 The Administrative Trustees shall designate an office or offices or agency or agencies where Capital Securities Certificates may be
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer Trustees in respect of the Trust Securities Certificates may be served. The Administrative Trustees initially designate U.S. Bank National
Association, Attention: Corporate Trust Services, as its office and agency for such purposes. The Administrative Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor, the Property Trustee and to the Holders of any change in the location of the
Securities Register or any such office or agency. 
 SECTION 5.9. Appointment of Paying Agent. 
 The Paying Agent shall make Distributions to Holders from the Payment Account and shall report the amounts of such Distributions to the
Property Trustee and the Administrative Trustees. Any Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to withdraw funds from the Payment Account solely for the purpose of making the Distributions referred to above. The Property Trustee may revoke such
power and remove the Paying Agent in its sole discretion. The Paying Agent shall initially be BB&T. Any Person acting as Paying Agent shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent upon 30 days’ written notice to the Administrative Trustees
and the Property Trustee. 
 If BB&T shall no longer be the Paying Agent or a successor Paying Agent shall resign or its
authority to act be revoked, the Property Trustee shall appoint a successor (which shall be a bank or trust company) that is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Trustees to act as Paying Agent. Such successor Paying Agent or any additional
Paying Agent shall execute and deliver to the Issuer Trustees an instrument in which such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent shall agree with the Issuer Trustees that as Paying Agent, such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying
Agent will hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Holders in trust for the benefit of the Holders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Holders. The Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the Property Trustee
and upon removal of a Paying Agent such Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to the Property Trustee. The provisions of Sections 8.1, 8.3 and 8.6 herein shall apply to BB&T in its role as Paying Agent, for so long as
BB&T shall act as Paying Agent and, to the extent applicable, to any other paying agent appointed hereunder. Any reference in this Agreement to the Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise. 

SECTION 5.10. Ownership of Common Securities by Depositor. 
 At the Time of Delivery, the Depositor shall acquire, and thereafter shall retain, beneficial and record ownership of the Common Securities. To the fullest extent permitted by law, other than a transfer
in connection with a consolidation or merger of the Depositor into another Person, or any conveyance, transfer or lease by the Depositor of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, pursuant to Section 8.1 of the
Indenture, any attempted transfer of the Common Securities shall be void. The Administrative Trustees shall cause each Common Securities Certificate issued to the Depositor to contain a legend stated “THIS CERTIFICATE IS NOT TRANSFERABLE EXCEPT
TO THE DEPOSITOR OR AN AFFILIATE OF THE DEPOSITOR IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW AND SECTION 5.10 OF THE TRUST AGREEMENT”. 
 SECTION 5.11. Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificates; Common Securities Certificate. 
 (a) The Capital Securities
Certificates, upon original issuance, will be issued in the form of a typewritten Capital Securities Certificate or Certificates representing Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificates, to be delivered to DTC, the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on
behalf of, the Issuer Trust. Such Capital Securities Certificate or Certificates shall initially be registered on the Securities Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency, and no Owner will

  

 21 








 
receive a Definitive Capital Securities Certificate representing such Owner’s interest in such Capital Securities, except as provided in Section 5.13. Unless and until Definitive
Capital Securities Certificates have been issued to Owners pursuant to Section 5.13: 
 (i) the provisions of this
Section 5.11(a) shall be in full force and effect; 
 (ii) the Securities Registrar and the Issuer Trustees shall be
entitled to deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes of this Trust Agreement relating to the Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificates (including the payment of the Liquidation Amount of and Distributions on the Capital Securities evidenced
by Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificates and the giving of instructions or directions to Owners of Capital Securities evidenced by Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificates) as the sole Holder of Capital Securities evidenced by Book-Entry
Capital Securities Certificates and shall have no obligations to the Owners thereof; 
 (iii) to the extent that the provisions
of this Section 5.11 conflict with any other provisions of this Trust Agreement, the provisions of this Section 5.11 shall control; and 
 (iv) the rights of the Owners of the Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between
such Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants. 
 Pursuant to the Issuer Letter of
Representations, unless and until Definitive Capital Securities Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 5.13, the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit
payments on the Capital Securities to such Clearing Agency Participants. 
 (b) A single Common Securities Certificate
representing the Common Securities shall be issued to the Depositor in the form of a definitive Common Securities Certificate. 
 SECTION 5.12. Notices to Clearing Agency. 
 To the extent that a notice or other communication to the Holders is
required under this Trust Agreement, for so long as Capital Securities are represented by a Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate, the Administrative Trustees and the Property Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified
herein to be given to the Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligations to the Owners. 
 SECTION 5.13. Definitive Capital
Securities Certificates. 
 If (a) the Depositor advises the Issuer Trustees in writing that the Clearing Agency is no
longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Capital Securities Certificates, and the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, (b) the Depositor at its option advises the Issuer Trustees in
writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or (c) after the occurrence of a Debenture Event of Default, Owners of Capital Securities Certificates representing beneficial interests aggregating at least
a majority of the Liquidation Amount advise the Administrative Trustees in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interest of the Owners of Capital Securities Certificates, then the
Administrative Trustees shall notify the other Issuer Trustees and the Clearing Agency, and the Clearing Agency, in accordance with its customary rules and procedures, shall notify all Clearing Agency Participants for whom it holds Capital
Securities of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of the Definitive Capital Securities Certificates to Owners of such class or classes, as

  

 22 








 
applicable, requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Administrative Trustees of the typewritten Capital Securities Certificate or Certificates representing the Book-Entry Capital Securities
Certificates by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Administrative Trustees, or any one of them, shall execute the Definitive Capital Securities Certificates in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency,
and if executed on behalf of the Issuer Trust by facsimile, countersigned by the Securities Registrar or its agent. Neither the Securities Registrar nor the Issuer Trustees shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may
conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Capital Securities Certificates, the Issuer Trustees shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Capital Securities Certificates as
Trust Security holders. The Definitive Capital Securities Certificates shall be typewritten, printed, lithographed or engraved or may be produced in any other manner as is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Trustees that meets the
requirements of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Capital Securities are then listed or approved for trading, as evidenced by the execution thereof by the Administrative Trustees or any one of them. 
 SECTION 5.14. Rights of Holders; Waivers of Past Defaults. 
 (a) The legal title to the Trust Property is vested exclusively in the Property Trustee (in its capacity as such) in accordance with Section 2.9, and the Holders shall not have any right or title
therein other than the undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the Issuer Trust conferred by their Trust Securities and they shall have no right to call for any partition or division of property, profits or rights of the Issuer Trust except
as described below. The Trust Securities shall be personal property giving only the rights specifically set forth therein and in this Trust Agreement. The Trust Securities shall have no preemptive or similar rights and when issued and delivered to
Holders against payment of the purchase price therefor will be fully paid and nonassessable by the Issuer Trust. The Holders of the Trust Securities, in their capacities as such, shall be entitled to the same limitation of personal liability
extended to stockholders of private corporations for profit organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. 
 (b) For so long as any Capital Securities remain Outstanding, if, upon a Debenture Event of Default with respect to which the Debenture Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Debentures are
entitled to declare the principal of all of the Debentures to be immediately due and payable (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include a Debenture Event of Default of the nature set forth in Section 2.8(a)(ii) of the Sixth
Supplemental Indenture), the Debenture Trustee fails or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Debentures fail to declare the principal of all of the Debentures to be immediately due and payable, the Holders of at
least 25% in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities then Outstanding shall have the right to make such declaration by a notice in writing to the Property Trustee, the Depositor and the Debenture Trustee. 
 At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Debentures has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of
the money due has been obtained by the Debenture Trustee as provided in the Indenture, if the Property Trustee fails to annul any such declaration and waive such default, the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital
Securities, by written notice to the Property Trustee, the Depositor and the Debenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: 
 (i) the Depositor has paid or deposited with the Debenture Trustee a sum sufficient to pay 
 (A) all overdue installments of interest on all of the Debentures, 
  

 23 








 (B) any accrued Additional Interest (as defined in the Indenture) on all of the Debentures,

 (C) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Debentures that have become due otherwise than by such declaration of
acceleration and interest and Additional Interest thereon at the rate borne by the Debentures, and 
 (D) all sums paid or
advanced by the Debenture Trustee under the Indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Debenture Trustee and the Property Trustee, their agents and counsel; and 
 (ii) all Events of Default with respect to the Debentures, other than the non-payment of the principal of the Debentures that has become
due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13 of the Indenture. 
 (iii) The
Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Capital Securities, waive any past default under the Indenture, except a default in the payment of principal or interest (unless
such default has been cured and a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest and principal due otherwise than by acceleration has been deposited with the Debenture Trustee) or a default in respect of a covenant or provision that
under the Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding Debenture. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 (iv) Upon receipt by the Property Trustee of written notice declaring such an acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof, by Holders
of any part of the Capital Securities, a record date shall be established for determining Holders of Outstanding Capital Securities entitled to join in such notice, which record date shall be at the close of business on the day the Property Trustee
receives such notice. The Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such notice, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that, unless such
declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having joined in such notice prior to the day that is 90 days after such record date, such notice of
declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be canceled and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a Holder, or a proxy of a
Holder, from giving, after expiration of such 90-day period, a new written notice of declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof, as the case may be, that is identical to a written notice that has been canceled pursuant to the
proviso to the preceding sentence, in which event a new record date shall be established pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.14(b). 
 (c) For so long as any Capital Securities remain Outstanding, to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the terms of this Trust Agreement and the Indenture, upon a Debenture Payment Default,
any Holder of Capital Securities shall have the right to institute a proceeding directly against the Depositor, pursuant to Section 5.8 of the Indenture, as amended and supplemented by Section 2.10 of the Sixth Supplemental Indenture, for
enforcement of payment to such Holder of any amounts payable in respect of Debentures having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities of such Holder (a “Direct Action”). Except as
set forth in Section 5.14(b) and this Section 5.14(c), the Holders of Capital Securities shall have no right to exercise directly any right or remedy available to the holders of, or in respect of, the Debentures. 
  

 24 








 (d) Except as otherwise provided in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this
Section 5.14, the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Capital Securities, waive any past default or Event of Default and its consequences. Upon such waiver, any
such default or Event of Default shall cease to exist, and any default or Event of Default arising there from shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Trust Agreement, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other
default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 SECTION 5.15. CUSIP Numbers. 
 The Administrative Trustees in issuing the Capital Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the
Property Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Capital
Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Capital Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such
numbers. The Administrative Trustees will promptly notify the Property Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

 ACTS OF HOLDERS; MEETINGS; VOTING 
 SECTION 6.1. Limitations on Voting Rights. 
 (a) Except as expressly provided in
this Trust Agreement and in the Indenture and as otherwise required by law, no Holder of Capital Securities shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the administration, operation and management of the Issuer Trust or the
obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the Trust Securities Certificates, be construed so as to constitute the Holders from time to time as partners or members of an association.

 (b) So long as any Debentures are held by the Property Trustee on behalf of the Issuer Trust, the Issuer Trustees shall not
(i) direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Debenture Trustee, or execute any trust or power conferred on the Debenture Trustee with respect to the Debentures, (ii) waive any past
default that may be waived under Section 5.13 of the Indenture, (iii) exercise any right to rescind or annul a declaration that the principal of all the Debentures shall be due and payable, or (iv) consent to any amendment,
modification or termination of the Indenture or the Debentures, where such consent shall be required, without, in each case, obtaining the prior approval of the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities,
provided, however, that where a consent under the Indenture would require the consent of each holder of Debentures affected thereby, no such consent shall be given by the Property Trustee without the prior written consent of each Holder of Capital
Securities. The Property Trustee shall not revoke any action previously authorized or approved by a vote of the Holders of the Capital Securities, except by a subsequent vote of the Holders of the Capital Securities. The Property Trustee shall
notify all Holders of the Capital Securities of any notice of default received with respect to the Debentures. In addition to obtaining the foregoing approvals of the Holders of the Capital Securities, prior to taking any of the foregoing actions,
the Issuer Trustees shall, at the expense of the Depositor, obtain an Opinion of Counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that such action shall not cause the Issuer Trust to be taxable as a corporation or classified as other than a
domestic grantor trust for United States Federal income tax purposes. 
  

 25 








 (c) If any proposed amendment to the Trust Agreement provides for, or the Issuer Trustees
otherwise propose to effect, (i) any action that would adversely affect in any material respect the powers, preferences or special rights of the Capital Securities, whether by way of amendment to the Trust Agreement or otherwise, or
(ii) the dissolution and winding-up of the Issuer Trust, other than pursuant to the terms of this Trust Agreement, then the Holders of Outstanding Capital Securities as a class will be entitled to vote on such amendment or proposal and such
amendment or proposal shall not be effective except with the approval of the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust Agreement, no amendment to this Trust
Agreement may be made if, as a result of such amendment, it would cause the Issuer Trust to be taxable as a corporation or classified as other than a domestic grantor trust for United States Federal income tax purposes. 
 SECTION 6.2. Notice of Meetings. 
 Notice of all meetings of the Holders of the Capital Securities, stating the time, place and purpose of the meeting, shall be given by the Property Trustee pursuant to Section 10.8 to each Holder of
Capital Securities, at such Holder’s registered address, at least 15 days and not more than 90 days before the meeting. 
 At any such meeting, any business properly before the meeting may be so considered whether or not stated in the notice of the meeting. Any adjourned meeting may be held as adjourned without further notice. 
 SECTION 6.3. Meetings of Holders of the Capital Securities. 
 No annual meeting of Holders is required to be held. The Property Trustee, however, shall call a meeting of the Holders of the Capital Securities to vote on any matter upon the written request of the
Holders of at least 25% in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Outstanding Capital Securities and the Administrative Trustees or the Property Trustee may, at any time in their discretion, call a meeting of the Holders of the Capital Securities to
vote on any matters as to which such Holders are entitled to vote. 
 The Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount
of the Capital Securities, present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of the Holders of the Capital Securities. 
 If a quorum is present at a meeting, an affirmative vote by the Holders present, in person or by proxy, holding Capital Securities representing at least a Majority in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the
Capital Securities held by the Holders present, either in person or by proxy, at such meeting shall constitute the action of the Holders of the Capital Securities, unless this Trust Agreement requires a greater number of affirmative votes.

 SECTION 6.4. Voting Rights. 
 Holders shall be entitled to one vote for each $25 of Liquidation Amount represented by their Outstanding Trust Securities in respect of any matter as to which such Holders are entitled to vote.

 SECTION 6.5. Proxies, etc. 
 At any meeting of Holders, any Holder entitled to vote thereat may vote by proxy, provided that no proxy shall be voted at any meeting unless it shall have been placed on file with the Property Trustee,
or with such other officer or agent of the Issuer Trust as the Property Trustee may direct, for verification prior to the time at which such vote shall be taken. Pursuant to a resolution of the Property Trustee,

  

 26 








 
proxies may be solicited in the name of the Property Trustee or one or more officers of the Property Trustee. Only Holders of record shall be entitled to vote. When Trust Securities are held
jointly by several persons, any one of them may vote at any meeting in person or by proxy in respect of such Trust Securities, but if more than one of them shall be present at such meeting in person or by proxy, and such joint owners or their
proxies so present disagree as to any vote to be cast, such vote shall not be received in respect of such Trust Securities. A proxy purporting to be executed by or on behalf of a Holder shall be deemed valid unless challenged at or prior to its
exercise, and the burden of proving invalidity shall rest on the challenger. No proxy shall be valid more than three years after its date of execution. 
 SECTION 6.6. Holder Action by Written Consent. 
 Any action that may be taken by
Holders at a meeting may be taken without a meeting if Holders holding at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of all Capital Securities entitled to vote in respect of such action (or such larger proportion thereof as shall be required by any
other provision of this Trust Agreement) shall consent to the action in writing. 
 SECTION 6.7. Record Date for Voting and
Other Purposes. 
 For the purposes of determining the Holders who are entitled to notice of and to vote at any meeting or by
written consent, or to participate in any distribution on the Trust Securities in respect of which a record date is not otherwise provided for in this Trust Agreement, or for the purpose of any other action, the Administrative Trustees may from time
to time fix a date, not more than 90 days prior to the date of any meeting of Holders or the payment of a Distribution or other action, as the case may be, as a record date for the determination of the identity of the Holders of record for such
purposes. 
 SECTION 6.8. Acts of Holders. 
 Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Trust Agreement to be given, made or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced
by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, such action shall become effective when such instrument or
instruments are delivered to the Property Trustee. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments.
Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Trust Agreement and (subject to Section 8.1) conclusive in favor of the Issuer Trustees, if made in the manner
provided in this Section. 
 The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by
the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the
execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. 
 The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved
in any other manner that any Issuer Trustee receiving the same deems sufficient. 
 The ownership of Trust Securities shall be
proved by the Securities Register. 
  

 27 








 Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the
Holder of any Trust Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Trust Security and the Holder of every Trust Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done,
omitted or suffered to be done by the Issuer Trustees, or the Issuer Trust in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Trust Security. 
 Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Trust Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the Liquidation Amount of
such Trust Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such Liquidation Amount. 
 If any dispute shall arise between the Holders and the Issuer Trustees or among the Holders or the Issuer Trustees with respect to the
authenticity, validity or binding nature of any request, demand, authorization, direction, consent, waiver or other Act of such Holder or Issuer Trustee under this Article VI, then the determination of such matter by the Property Trustee shall be

 ARTICLE 8 
 THE ISSUER TRUSTEES 
 SECTION 8.1. Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

 (a) The duties and responsibilities of the Issuer Trustees shall be as provided by this Trust Agreement, subject to
Section 10.10 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Section 8.1(c), no provision of this Trust Agreement shall require any of the Issuer Trustees to expend or risk its or their own funds or otherwise incur any financial
liability in the performance of any of its or their duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its or their rights or powers, if it or they shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against
such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
 Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of
this Trust Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Issuer Trustees shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 8.1. Nothing in this Trust Agreement shall be construed to release an
Administrative Trustee or the Delaware Trustee from liability for his or her own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or his or her own willful misconduct. To the extent that, at law or in equity, an Administrative Trustee or the
Delaware Trustee has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating to the Issuer Trust or to the Holders, such Administrative Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall not be liable to the Issuer Trust or to any Holder for such
Administrative Trustee’s or Delaware Trustee’s good faith reliance on the provisions of this Trust Agreement. The provisions of this Trust Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties (including fiduciary duties) and
liabilities of the Administrative Trustees or the Delaware Trustee otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Depositor and the Holders to replace such other duties and liabilities of the Administrative Trustees or the Delaware
Trustee. 
 (b) All payments made by the Property Trustee or a Paying Agent in respect of the Trust Securities shall be made
only from the revenue and proceeds from the Trust Property and only to the extent that there shall be sufficient revenue or proceeds from the Trust Property to enable the Property Trustee or a Paying Agent to make payments in accordance with the
terms hereof. Each Holder, by its acceptance of a Trust Security, agrees that it will look solely to the revenue and proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent legally available for distribution to it as herein provided and that the Issuer
Trustees are not personally liable to such Holder for any amount distributable in respect of any Trust Security or for any other liability in respect of any Trust Security. This Section 8.1(b) does not limit the liability of the Issuer Trustees
expressly set forth elsewhere in this Trust Agreement or, in the case of the Property Trustee, in the Trust Indenture Act. 
 (c) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Property Trustee shall enforce this Trust Agreement for the benefit of the Holders in accordance with Section 8.1(d). 
 (d) The Property Trustee, before the occurrence of any Event of Default and after the curing of all Events of Default that may have
occurred, shall undertake to perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Trust Agreement (including pursuant to Section 10.10), and no implied covenants shall be read into this Trust Agreement against the Property Trustee. If
an Event of Default has occurred (that has not been cured or waived pursuant to Section 5.14), the Property Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Trust Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in
its exercise thereof, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs. 
  

 30 








 (e) No provision of this Trust Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Property Trustee
from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 (i) prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default that may have occurred: 
 (A) the duties and obligations of the Property Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Trust Agreement (including pursuant to Section 10.10), and the Property Trustee
shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Trust Agreement (including pursuant to Section 10.10); and 
 (B) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Property Trustee, the Property Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the
statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Property Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Trust Agreement; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions
that by any provision hereof or of the Trust Indenture Act are specifically required to be furnished to the Property Trustee, the Property Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements
of this Trust Agreement. 
 (ii) the Property Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by an
authorized officer of the Property Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Property Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; 
 (iii) the Property Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of at least a Majority in
Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Property Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Property Trustee under this Trust
Agreement; 
 (iv) the Property Trustee’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safe keeping and physical preservation of
the Debentures and the Payment Account shall be to deal with such Property in a similar manner as the Property Trustee deals with similar property for its own account, subject to the protections and limitations on liability afforded to the Property
Trustee under this Trust Agreement and the Trust Indenture Act; 
 (v) the Property Trustee shall not be liable for any
interest on any money received by it except as it may otherwise agree with the Depositor; and money held by the Property Trustee need not be segregated from other funds held by it except in relation to the Payment Account maintained by the Property
Trustee pursuant to Section 3.1 and except to the extent otherwise required by law; 
 (vi) the Property Trustee shall not
be responsible for monitoring the compliance by the Administrative Trustees or the Depositor with the respective duties under this Trust Agreement, nor shall the Property Trustee be liable for the default or misconduct of any other Issuer Trustee,
the Administrative Trustees or the Depositor; and 
 (vii) Subject to Sections 8.1(c) and (d), no provision of this Trust
Agreement shall require the Property Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if the Property Trustee shall
have reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment of such funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it under the terms of this Trust Agreement or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

  

 31 








 (f) The Administrative Trustees and the Delaware Trustee shall not be responsible for
monitoring the compliance by the other Issuer Trustees or the Depositor with their respective duties under this Trust Agreement, nor shall either Administrative Trustee or the Delaware Trustee be liable for the default or misconduct of, or acts or
omissions of, any other Issuer Trustee or the Depositor. 
 (g) The Delaware Trustee shall be entitled to all of the same
rights, protections, indemnities and immunities under this Trust Agreement and with respect to the Issuer Trust as the Property Trustee. 
 SECTION 8.2. Certain Notices. 
 Within 90 days after the occurrence of any Event
of Default actually known to the Property Trustee, the Property Trustee shall transmit, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 10.8, notice of such Event of Default to the Holders and the Administrative Trustees, unless such Event
of Default shall have been cured or waived. 
 Within five Business Days after the receipt of notice of the Depositor’s
exercise of its right to defer the payment of interest on the Debentures pursuant to the Indenture, the Property Trustee shall transmit, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 10.8, notice of such exercise to the Holders and the
Administrative Trustees, unless such exercise shall have been revoked. 
 The Property Trustee shall not be deemed to have
knowledge of any Event of Default unless the Property Trustee shall have received written notice or a Responsible Officer of the Property Trustee charged with the administration of this Trust Agreement shall have obtained actual knowledge of such
Event of Default. 
 SECTION 8.3. Certain Rights of Property Trustee. 
 Subject to the provisions of Section 8.1: 
 (a) the Property Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting in good faith upon any resolution, Opinion of Counsel, certificate, written representation of a Holder or
transferee, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be
genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; 
 (b) if (i) in performing its duties under
this Trust Agreement the Property Trustee is required to decide between alternative courses of action, (ii) in construing any of the provisions of this Trust Agreement the Property Trustee finds the same ambiguous or inconsistent with any other
provisions contained herein, or (iii) the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, is unsure of the application of any provision of this Trust Agreement, then, except as to any matter as to which the Holders of the Capital
Securities are entitled to vote under the terms of this Trust Agreement, the Property Trustee shall deliver a notice to the Depositor requesting the Depositor’s opinion as to the course of action to be taken and the Property Trustee shall take
such action, or refrain from taking such action, as the Property Trustee shall deem advisable and in the best interests of the Holders, in which event the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, shall have no liability except
for its own bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct; 
  

 32 








 (c) any direction or act of the Depositor contemplated by this Trust Agreement shall be
sufficiently evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate; 
 (d) any direction or act of an Administrative Trustee contemplated
by this Trust Agreement shall be sufficiently evidenced by a certificate executed by such Administrative Trustee and setting forth such direction or act; 
 (e) the Property Trustee shall have no duty to see to any recording, filing or registration of any instrument (including any financing or continuation statement or any filing under tax or securities laws)
or any rerecording, refiling or re-registration thereof; 
 (f) the Property Trustee may consult with counsel (which counsel may
be counsel to the Depositor or any of its Affiliates, and may include any of its employees) and the advice of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in
good faith and in reliance thereon and in accordance with such advice; the Property Trustee shall have the right at any time to seek instructions concerning the administration of this Trust Agreement from any court of competent jurisdiction;

 (g) the Property Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Trust
Agreement at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Trust Agreement, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Property Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that might be
incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction; provided that, nothing contained in this Section 8.3(g) shall be taken to relieve the Property Trustee, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, of its obligation to exercise the
rights and powers vested in it by this Trust Agreement as provided in Sections 8.1(c) and (d); 
 (h) the Property Trustee shall
not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness or
other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by one or more Holders, but the Property Trustee may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit; 
 (i) the Property Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through
its agents or attorneys, provided that the Property Trustee shall be responsible for its own negligence or misconduct with respect to selection of any agent or attorney appointed by it hereunder; 
 (j) whenever in the administration of this Trust Agreement the Property Trustee shall deem it desirable to receive instructions with respect
to enforcing any remedy or right or taking any other action hereunder, the Property Trustee (i) may request instructions from the Holders (which instructions may only be given by the Holders of the same proportion in Liquidation Amount of the
Trust Securities as would be entitled to direct the Property Trustee under the terms of the Trust Securities in respect of such remedy, right or action), (ii) may refrain from enforcing such remedy or right or taking such other action until
such instructions are received, and (iii) shall be protected in acting in accordance with such instructions; and 
  

 33 








 (k) except as otherwise expressly provided by this Trust Agreement, the Property Trustee
shall not be under any obligation to take any action that is discretionary under the provisions of this Trust Agreement. 
 No
provision of this Trust Agreement shall be deemed to impose any duty or obligation on any Issuer Trustee to perform any act or acts or exercise any right, power, duty or obligation conferred or imposed on it, in any jurisdiction in which it shall be
illegal, or in which such Person shall be unqualified or incompetent in accordance with applicable law, to perform any such act or acts, or to exercise any such right, power, duty or obligation. No permissive power or authority available to any
Issuer Trustee shall be construed to be a duty. 
 SECTION 8.4. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities.

 The recitals contained herein and in the Trust Securities Certificates shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer Trust
and the Depositor, and the Issuer Trustees do not assume any responsibility for their correctness. The Issuer Trustees shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor of the proceeds of the Debentures. 
 SECTION 8.5. May Hold Securities. 
 Any Issuer Trustee or any other agent of any Issuer Trustee or the Issuer Trust, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Trust Securities and, subject to Sections 8.8

 SECTION 8.6. Compensation; Indemnity; Fees. 
 The Depositor agrees: 
 (a) to pay to the Issuer Trustees from time to time such
reasonable compensation for all services rendered by them hereunder as may be agreed by the Depositor and the Issuer Trustees from time to time (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a

 (b) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Issuer Trustees upon
request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Issuer Trustees in accordance with any provision of this Trust Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of their

behalf of the Issuer Trust and in a manner such Indemnified Person reasonably believed to be within the scope of authority conferred on such Indemnified Person by this Trust Agreement, except that no Indemnified Person shall be entitled to be

 34 








 The provisions of this Section 8.6 shall survive the termination of this Trust
Agreement and the removal or resignation of any Issuer Trustee. 
 No Issuer Trustee may claim any Lien on any Trust Property as
a result of any amount due pursuant to this Section 8.6. 
 The Depositor and any Issuer Trustee may engage in or possess
an interest in other business ventures of any nature or description, independently or with others, similar or dissimilar to the business of the Issuer Trust, and the Issuer Trust and the Holders of Trust Securities shall have no rights by virtue of
this Trust Agreement in and to such independent ventures or the income or profits derived therefrom, and the pursuit of any such venture, even if competitive with the business of the Issuer Trust, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper. Neither
the Depositor nor any Issuer Trustee shall be obligated to present any particular investment or other opportunity to the Issuer Trust even if such opportunity is of a character that, if presented to the Issuer Trust, could be taken by the Issuer
Trust, and the Depositor and any Issuer Trustee shall have the right to take for its own account (individually or as a partner or fiduciary) or to recommend to others any such particular investment or other opportunity. Any Issuer Trustee may engage
or be interested in any financial or other transaction with the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor, or may act as depository for, trustee or agent for, or act on any committee or body of holders of, securities or other obligations of the
Depositor or its Affiliates. 
 SECTION 8.7. Corporate Property Trustee Required; Eligibility of Issuer Trustees and
Administrative Trustees. 
 (a) There shall at all times be a Property Trustee hereunder with respect to the Trust Securities.
The Property Trustee shall be a Person that is a national or state chartered bank and eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If any such Person publishes
reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of its supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.7 and to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, the combined capital and
surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Property Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.7, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article 8. At the time of appointment, the Property Trustee must have securities rated in one of the
three highest rating categories by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. 
 (b) There shall at all times be
one or more Administrative Trustees hereunder with respect to the Trust Securities. Each Administrative Trustee shall be either a natural person who is at least 21 years of age or a legal entity that shall act through one or more persons authorized
to bind that entity.

Trustee shall either be (i) a natural person who is at least 21 years of age and a resident of the State of Delaware, or (ii) a legal entity with its principal place of business in the State of Delaware and that otherwise meets the

 SECTION 8.8. Conflicting Interests. 
 (a) If the Property Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within
the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Property Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Trust Agreement. 

 

 35 








 (b) The Guarantee Agreement and the Indenture shall be deemed to be specifically described
in this Trust Agreement for the purposes of clause (i) of the first proviso contained in Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. 
 SECTION 8.9. Co-Trustees and Separate Trustee. 
 Unless and until a Debenture
Event of Default or a Debenture Payment Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time or times, for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of the Trust Indenture Act or of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Property
may at the time be located, the Holder of Common Securities and the Administrative Trustees shall have the power to appoint one or more Persons either to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Property Trustee, of all or any part of such Trust
Property, or to the extent required by law to act as separate trustee of any such property, in either case with such powers as may be provided in the instrument of appointment, and to vest in such Person or Persons in the capacity aforesaid, any
property, title, right or power deemed necessary or desirable, subject to the other provisions of this Section. If a Debenture Event of Default or Debenture Payment Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Property Trustee shall have the
sole power to appoint such a co-trustee or separate trustee, and upon the written request of the Property Trustee, the Depositor and the Administrative Trustees shall for such purpose join with the Property Trustee in the execution, delivery and
performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to appoint such co-trustee or separate trustee. Any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed pursuant to this Section shall either be (i) a natural person who is at least 21
years of age and a resident of the United States, or (ii) a legal entity with its principal place of business in the United States that shall act through one or more persons authorized to bind such entity. 
 Should any written instrument from the Depositor be required by any co-trustee or separate trustee so appointed for more fully confirming to
such co-trustee or separate trustee such property, title, right, or power, any and all such instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Depositor. 
 Every co-trustee or separate trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, but to such extent only, be appointed subject to the following
terms, namely: 
 (a) The Trust Securities shall be executed by one or more Administrative Trustees, and the Trust Securities
shall be delivered by the Property Trustee, and all rights, powers, duties, and obligations hereunder in respect of the custody of securities, cash and other personal property held by, or required to be deposited or pledged with, the Property
Trustee specified hereunder shall be exercised solely by the Property Trustee and not by such co-trustee or separate trustee. 
 (b) The rights, powers, duties, and obligations hereby conferred or imposed upon the Property Trustee in respect of any property covered by such appointment shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Property
Trustee or by the Property Trustee and such co-trustee or separate trustee jointly, as shall be provided in the instrument appointing such co- trustee or separate trustee, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any
particular act is to be performed, the Property Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such co-trustee or separate trustee.

  

 36 








 (c) The Property Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing executed by it, with the
written concurrence of the Depositor, may accept the resignation of or remove any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed under this Section 8.9, and, in case a Debenture Event of Default or Debenture Payment Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Property Trustee shall have power to accept the resignation of, or remove, any such co-trustee or separate trustee without the concurrence of the Depositor. Upon the written request of the Property Trustee, the Depositor shall join
with the Property Trustee in the execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to effectuate such resignation or removal. A successor to any co-trustee or separate trustee so resigning or removed may be
appointed in the manner provided in this Section 8.9. 
 (d) No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be
personally liable by reason of any act or omission of the Property Trustee or any other trustee hereunder. 
 (e) The Property
Trustee shall not be liable by reason of any act of a co-trustee or separate trustee. 
 (f) Any Act of Holders delivered to the
Property Trustee shall be deemed to have been delivered to each such co-trustee and separate trustee. 
 SECTION 8.10.
Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. 
 (a) No resignation or removal of any Issuer Trustee (the “Relevant
Trustee”) and no appointment of a successor Issuer Trustee pursuant to this Article 8 shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Issuer Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of
Section 8.11. 
 Subject to the immediately preceding paragraph, the Relevant Trustee may resign at any time by giving
written notice thereof to the Holders and by appointing a successor Relevant Trustee. The Relevant Trustee shall appoint a successor by requesting from at least three Persons meeting the eligibility requirements its expenses and charges to serve as
the Relevant Trustee on a form provided by the Administrative Trustees, and selecting the Person who agrees to the lowest expenses and charges. If the instrument of acceptance by the successor Issuer Trustee required by Section 8.11 shall not
have been delivered to the Relevant Trustee within 60 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the Relevant Trustee may petition, at the expense of the Depositor, in the case of the Property Trustee, any court of competent jurisdiction
for the appointment of a successor Relevant Trustee. 
 The Administrative Trustees, or any of them, may be appointed, removed
or replaced by the Act of the Holders of Common Securities delivered to the Relevant Trustee. 
 The Property Trustee or the
Delaware Trustee, or both of them, may be appointed, removed or replaced by Act of the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities, delivered to the Relevant Trustee (in its individual capacity and, in the case of
the Property Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer Trust) (i) for cause (including upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in subparagraph (d) of the definition thereof with respect to the Relevant Trustee), or (ii) if a
Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at any time. Unless and until an event described in clauses (i) or (ii) of the previous sentence shall have occurred and be continuing, the Property Trustee or the Delaware
Trustee, or both of them, may be appointed, removed or replaced at any time by Act of the Holders of the Common Securities. 
 If a resigning Property Trustee or Delaware Trustee shall fail to appoint a successor, or if the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall be removed or become incapable of acting as Issuer

  

 37 








 
Trustee, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee for any cause, the Holders of the Common Securities by Act of such Holders delivered to the
Relevant Trustee or, if a Debenture Event of Default or Debenture Payment Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Holders of the Capital Securities, by Act of the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Capital
Securities then Outstanding delivered to such Relevant Trustee, may appoint a successor Relevant Trustee or Trustees, and such successor Issuer Trustee shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11. If no successor Relevant
Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Holders of the Common Securities or Capital Securities, as the case may be, and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 8.11, any Holder, on behalf of such Holder and all others
similarly situated, or any other Issuer Trustee, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Relevant Trustee. 
 (b) The Administrative Trustees, or any of them, may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Property Trustee, the Holders and the Depositor, which resignation shall take effect upon delivery
of such notice to the Depositor or upon such later date specified therein. The Administrative Trustees, or any of them, may be appointed or removed at any time by Act of the Holders of Common Securities delivered to the Relevant Trustee. 

(c) The Property Trustee shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of an Issuer Trustee and each appointment of a successor
Issuer Trustee to all Holders in the manner provided in Section 10.8 and shall give notice to the Depositor and to the Administrative Trustees. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Relevant Trustee and the address of its
Corporate Trust Office if it is the Property Trustee. 
 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Trust
Agreement, if any Delaware Trustee who is a natural person dies or becomes, in the opinion of the Holders of the Common Securities, incompetent or incapacitated, the vacancy created by such death, incompetence or incapacity may be filled by the
Property Trustee following the procedures regarding expenses and charges set forth above (with the successor being a Person who satisfies the eligibility requirement for the Delaware Trustee set forth in Section 8.7). 
 SECTION 8.11. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. 
 In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Relevant Trustee, the retiring or removed Relevant Trustee and each successor Relevant Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities shall execute and
deliver an amendment hereto wherein each successor Relevant Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (a) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Relevant
Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Relevant Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities and the Issuer Trust, and (b) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Trust Agreement as shall be necessary to
provide for or facilitate the administration of the Issuer Trust by more than one Relevant Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such amendment shall constitute such Relevant Trustees co- trustees and upon the execution and delivery
of such amendment the resignation or removal of the retiring Relevant Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Relevant Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all
the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Relevant Trustee; but, on request of the Issuer Trust or any successor Relevant Trustee such retiring Relevant Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Relevant Trustee
all Trust Property, all proceeds thereof and money held by such retiring or removed Relevant Trustee hereunder with respect to the Trust Securities and the Trust. 
  

 38 








 Upon request of any such successor Relevant Trustee, the Issuer Trust shall execute any and
all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Relevant Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the preceding paragraph. 
 No successor Relevant Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Relevant Trustee shall be
qualified and eligible under this Article 8. 
 SECTION 8.12. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.

 Any Person into which the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Relevant Trustee shall be a party, or any Person, succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of such Relevant Trustee, shall be
the successor of such Relevant Trustee hereunder, provided that such Person shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article 8, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

 SECTION 8.13. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Depositor or Issuer Trust. 
 If and when the Property Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Depositor or the Issuer Trust (or any other obligor upon the Capital
Securities), the Property Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Depositor or the Issuer Trust (or any such other obligor).

 In case of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other similar judicial proceeding relative to the Issuer Trust or any other
obligor upon the Trust Securities or the property of the Issuer Trust or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Property Trustee (irrespective of whether any Distributions on the Trust Securities shall then be due and payable and irrespective
of whether the Property Trustee shall have made any demand on the Issuer Trust for the payment of any past due Distributions) shall be entitled and empowered, to the fullest extent permitted by law, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

 (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of any Distributions owing and unpaid in respect of the Trust Securities
and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Property Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Property Trustee, its
agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and 
 (b) to collect and receive any moneys or
other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each
Holder to make such payments to the Property Trustee and, in the event the Property Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Property Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Property Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Property Trustee. 
 Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Property Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement adjustment or compensation affecting the Trust
Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Property Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

 (i) its eligibility under Section 8.7 or, in lieu thereof, if to the best of its knowledge it has continued to be eligible under said Section, a written statement to such effect; 
 (ii) a statement that the Property Trustee has complied with all of its obligations under this Trust Agreement during the twelve-month
period (or, in the case of the initial report, the period since the Closing Date) ending with such May 15 or, if the Property Trustee has not complied in any material respect with such obligations, a description of such noncompliance; and

 (iii) any change in the property and funds in its possession as Property Trustee since the date of its last report and any
action taken by the Property Trustee in the performance of its duties hereunder which it has not previously reported and which in its opinion materially affects the Trust Securities. 
 (b) In addition, the Property Trustee shall transmit to Holders such reports concerning the Property Trustee and its actions under this
Trust Agreement as may be required pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act at the times and in the manner provided pursuant thereto. 
 (c) A copy of each such report shall, at the time of such transmission to Holders, be filed by the Property Trustee with the Depositor. 
 SECTION 8.16. Reports to the Property Trustee. 
 Each of the Depositor and the
Administrative Trustees shall provide to the Property Trustee such documents, reports and information as required by Section 314 of the Trust Indenture Act (if any) and the compliance certificate required by Section 314(a) of the Trust
Indenture Act in the form, in the manner and at the times required by Section 314 of the Trust Indenture Act. The Depositor and the Administrative Trustees shall annually file with the Property Trustee a certificate specifying whether such
Person is in compliance with all of the terms and covenants applicable to such Person hereunder.

vacancy shall be filled with an Issuer Trustee appointed in accordance with Section 8.10.

contrary to the provisions of this Trust Agreement. 
 ARTICLE 9 
 DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND MERGER 
 SECTION 9.1.
Dissolution Upon Expiration Date. 
 Unless earlier dissolved, the Issuer Trust shall automatically dissolve, and its affairs be
wound up, on the later of November 1, 2064, subject to automatic extensions to no later than November 1, 2069, or the Stated Maturity (such date, the “Expiration Date”), following the distribution of the Trust Property in
accordance with Section 9.4. 
 SECTION 9.2. Early Dissolution. 
 The first to occur of any of the following events is an “Early Dissolution Event”: 
 (a) the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event in respect of, or the dissolution or liquidation of, the Depositor, in its capacity as the Holder
of the Common Securities, unless the Depositor shall transfer the Common Securities as provided by Section 5.10, in which case this provision shall refer instead to any such successor Holder of the Common Securities; 
 (b) the written direction to the Property Trustee from all of the Holders of the Common Securities at any time to dissolve the Issuer Trust
and to distribute the Debentures to Holders in exchange for the Capital Securities (which direction is optional and wholly within the discretion of the Holders of the Common Securities); 
 (c) the redemption of all of the Capital Securities in connection with the redemption or repayment of all the Debentures; and 
 (d) the entry of an order for dissolution of the Issuer Trust by a court of competent jurisdiction. 
  

 41 








 SECTION 9.3. Dissolution. 
 The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Issuer Trustees, the Administrative Trustees and the Issuer Trust created and
continued hereby shall terminate upon the latest to occur of the following: (a) the distribution by the Property Trustee to Holders of all amounts required to be distributed hereunder upon the liquidation of the Issuer Trust pursuant to
Section 9.4, or upon the redemption of all of the Trust Securities pursuant to Section 4.2; (b) the payment of any expenses owed by the Issuer Trust; (c) the discharge of all administrative duties of the Administrative Trustees,
including the performance of any tax reporting obligations with respect to the Issuer Trust or the Holders; and (d) the filing by the Property Trustee of a certificate of cancellation with the Delaware Secretary of State in accordance with the
Delaware Statutory Trust Act. Promptly after the latest to occur of the foregoing, the Property Trustee will notify the Delaware Trustee in writing that the Delaware Trustee’s obligations and responsibilities with respect to the Issuer Trust
have terminated. 
 SECTION 9.4. Liquidation. 
 (a) If an Early Dissolution Event specified in clause (a), (b) or (d) of Section 9.2 occurs or upon the Expiration Date, the Issuer Trust shall be liquidated by the Property Trustee as
expeditiously as the Property Trustee determines to be possible by distributing, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Issuer Trust as provided by applicable law to each Holder a Like Amount of Debentures, subject to
Section 9.4(d). 
 Notice of liquidation shall be given by the Property Trustee by first-class mail, postage prepaid,
mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Liquidation Date to each Holder of Trust Securities at such Holder’s address appearing in the Securities Register. All such notices of liquidation shall: 
 (i) state the CUSIP Number of the Trust Securities; 
 (ii) state the Liquidation Date; 
 (iii) state that from and after the
Liquidation Date, the Trust Securities will no longer be deemed to be Outstanding and any Trust Securities Certificates not surrendered for exchange will be deemed to represent a Like Amount of Debentures, or if Section 9.4(d) applies, a right
to receive a Liquidation Distribution; and 
 (iv) provide such information with respect to the mechanics by which Holders may
exchange Trust Securities Certificates for Debentures, or if Section 9.4(d) applies, receive a Liquidation Distribution, as the Property Trustee (after consultation with the Administrative Trustees) shall deem appropriate. 
 (b) Except where Section 9.2(c) or 9.4(d) applies, in order to effect the liquidation of the Issuer Trust and distribution of the
Debentures to Holders, the Property Trustee, either itself acting as exchange agent or through the appointment of a separate exchange agent, shall establish a record date for such distribution (which shall be not more than 30 days prior to the
Liquidation Date) and, establish such procedures as it shall deem appropriate to effect the distribution of Debentures in exchange for the Outstanding Trust Securities Certificates. 
 (c) Except where Section 9.2(c) or 9.4(d) applies, after the Liquidation Date, (i) the Trust Securities will no longer be deemed
to be Outstanding, (ii) certificates representing a Like Amount of Debentures will be issued to Holders of Trust Securities Certificates, upon surrender of such Certificates to the exchange agent for exchange, (iii) any Trust Securities
Certificates not so surrendered for exchange will be deemed to represent a Like Amount of Debentures bearing accrued and unpaid

  

 42 








 
interest in an amount equal to the accumulated and unpaid Distributions on such Trust Securities Certificates until such certificates are so surrendered (and until such certificates are so
surrendered, no payments of interest or principal will be made to Holders of Trust Securities Certificates with respect to such Debentures) and (iv) all rights of Holders holding Trust Securities will cease, except the right of such Holders to
receive Debentures upon surrender of Trust Securities Certificates. 
 (d) If, notwithstanding the other provisions of this
Section 9.4, whether because of an order for dissolution entered by a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise, distribution of the Debentures in the manner provided herein is determined by the Property Trustee not to be practical, or if an
Early Dissolution Event specified in clause (c) of Section 9.2 occurs, the Trust Property shall be liquidated, and the Issuer Trust shall be dissolved and its affairs wound-up, by the Property Trustee in such manner as the Property Trustee
determines. In such event, on the date of the dissolution, winding-up or other termination of the Issuer Trust, Holders will be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Issuer Trust available for distribution to Holders, after satisfaction of
liabilities to creditors of the Issuer Trust as provided by applicable law, an amount equal to the Liquidation Amount per Trust Security plus accumulated and unpaid Distributions thereon to the date of payment (such amount being the
“Liquidation Distribution”). If, upon any such dissolution, winding up or termination, the Liquidation Distribution can be paid only in part because the Issuer Trust has insufficient assets available to pay in full the aggregate
Liquidation Distribution, then, subject to the next succeeding sentence, the amounts payable by the Issuer Trust on the Trust Securities shall be paid on a pro rata basis (based upon Liquidation Amounts). The Holders of the Common Securities will be
entitled to receive Liquidation Distributions upon any such dissolution, winding-up or termination pro rata (determined as aforesaid) with Holders of Capital Securities, except that the Capital Securities shall have a priority over the Common
Securities as provided in Section 4.3. 
 SECTION 9.5. Mergers, Consolidations, Amalgamations or Replacements of Issuer
Trust. 
 The Issuer Trust may not merge with or into, consolidate, amalgamate, or be replaced by, or convey, transfer or lease
its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any corporation or other body, except pursuant to this Section 9.5. At the request of the Holders of the Common Securities, with the consent of the Administrative Trustees, and without
the consent of the other Issuer Trustees or the Holders of the Capital Securities, the Issuer Trust may merge with or into, consolidate, amalgamate, or be replaced by or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an
entirety to a trust organized as such under the laws of any state provided that (i) such successor entity either (a) expressly assumes all of the obligations of the Issuer Trust with respect to the Capital Securities, or
(b) substitutes for the Capital Securities other securities having substantially the same terms as the Capital Securities (the “Successor Securities”) so long as the Successor Securities have the same priority as the Capital
Securities with respect to distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption and otherwise, (ii) a trustee of such successor entity possessing the same powers and duties as the Property Trustee is appointed to hold the Debentures,
(iii) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not cause the Capital Securities (including any Successor Securities) to be downgraded by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization,
(iv) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of the Capital Securities (including any Successor Securities) in any
material respect, (v) such successor entity has a purpose substantially identical to that of the Issuer Trust, (vi) prior to such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, the Property Trustee has
received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (a) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the Holders of the Capital Securities
(including any Successor Securities) in any material respect, and (b) following such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, neither the Issuer Trust nor such successor

  

 43 








 
entity will be required to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act, (vii) the Depositor or its permitted transferee owns all of the Common Securities
of such successor entity and guarantees the obligations of such successor entity under the Successor Securities at least to the extent provided by the Guarantee Agreement, and (viii) the Successor Securities are listed, or any Successor
Securities will be listed on notification of issuance, on any national securities exchange or other organization on which the Capital Securities are then listed, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer Trust shall not, except with the
consent of Holders of all of the Capital Securities, consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or be replaced by or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any other entity or permit any other entity to
consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or replace it if such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease would cause the Issuer Trust or the successor entity to be taxable as a corporation or classified as
other than a domestic grantor trust for United States Federal income tax purposes. 
 ARTICLE 10 
 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 
 SECTION 10.1. Limitation of Rights of Holders. 
 Except as set forth in
Section 9.2, the death or incapacity of any person having an interest, beneficial or otherwise, in Trust Securities shall not operate to terminate this Trust Agreement, nor entitle the legal representatives or heirs of such person or any Holder
for such person, to claim an accounting, take any action or bring any proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the arrangements contemplated hereby, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto
or any of them. 
 SECTION 10.2. Amendment. 
 (a) This Trust Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Administrative Trustees and the Holders of all of the Common Securities, without the consent of any Holder of the Capital Securities,
(i) to cure any ambiguity, correct or supplement any provision herein that may be inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Trust Agreement, which shall
not be inconsistent with the other provisions of this Trust Agreement, or (ii) to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of this Trust Agreement to such extent as shall be necessary to ensure that the Issuer Trust will not be taxable as a
corporation or classified as other than a domestic grantor trust for United States Federal income tax purposes at all times that any Trust Securities are outstanding or to ensure that the Issuer Trust will not be required to register as an
“investment company” under the Investment Company Act; provided, however, that in the case of either clause (i) or (ii), such action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Holder. 
 (b) Except as provided in Section 10.2(c), any provision of this Trust Agreement may be amended by the Administrative Trustees, the
Property Trustee, and the Holders of all of the Common Securities and with (i) the consent of Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities, and (ii) receipt by the Issuer Trustees of an Opinion of Counsel
to the effect that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Issuer Trustees in accordance with such amendment will not affect the Trust’s status as a domestic grantor trust or cause the Issuer Trust to be taxable as a
corporation or as other than a domestic grantor trust for United States Federal income tax purposes or affect the Issuer Trust’s exemption from status as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act. 
  

 44 








 (c) In addition to and notwithstanding any other provision in this Trust Agreement, without
the consent of each affected Holder (such consent being obtained in accordance with Section 6.3 or 6.6 hereof), this Trust Agreement may not be amended to (i) change the amount or timing of any Distribution on the Trust Securities or
otherwise adversely affect the amount of any Distribution required to be made in respect of the Trust Securities as of a specified date, or (ii) restrict the right of a Holder to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or
after such date; and notwithstanding any other provision herein, without the unanimous consent of the Holders (such consent being obtained in accordance with Section 6.3 or 6.6 hereof), this paragraph (c) of this Section 10.2 may not
be amended. 
 (d) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Trust Agreement, no Issuer Trustee shall enter into or consent
to any amendment to this Trust Agreement that would cause the Issuer Trust to fail or cease to qualify for the exemption from status as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act or to be taxable as a corporation or to be
classified as other than a domestic grantor trust for United States Federal income tax purposes. 
 (e) Notwithstanding anything
in this Trust Agreement to the contrary, without the consent of the Depositor and the Administrative Trustees, this Trust Agreement may not be amended in a manner that imposes any additional obligation on the Depositor or the Administrative
Trustees. 
 (f) In the event that any amendment to this Trust Agreement is made, the Administrative Trustees or the Property
Trustee shall promptly provide to the Depositor and the Delaware Trustee a copy of such amendment. 
 (g) Neither the Property
Trustee nor the Delaware Trustee shall be required to enter into any amendment to this Trust Agreement that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Trust Agreement. The Property Trustee shall be entitled to receive an Opinion of
Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate stating that any amendment to this Trust Agreement is in compliance with this Trust Agreement. 
 SECTION 10.3. Separability. 
 In case any provision in this Trust Agreement or in
the Trust Securities Certificates shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 SECTION 10.4. Governing Law. 
 This Trust Agreement and the rights and obligations of each of the Holders, the Issuer Trust, the Depositor, and the Issuer Trustees with respect to this Trust Agreement and the Trust Securities shall be
construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without reference to its conflicts of laws provisions. 
 SECTION 10.5. Payments Due on Non-Business Day. 
 If the date fixed for any payment on any Trust Security shall be a
day that is not a Business Day, then such payment need not be made on such date but may be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (except as otherwise provided in Sections 4.1(a) and 4.2(d)), with the same force and effect as though
made on the date fixed for such payment, and no Distributions shall accumulate on such unpaid amount for the period after such date. 
  

 45 








 SECTION 10.6. Successors. 
 This Trust Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of any successor to the Depositor, the Issuer Trust, and any
Issuer Trustee, including any successor by operation of law. Except in connection with a consolidation, merger or sale involving the Depositor that is permitted under Article Eight of the Indenture and pursuant to which the assignee agrees in
writing to perform the Depositor’s obligations hereunder, the Depositor shall not assign its obligations hereunder. 
 SECTION 10.7. Headings. 
 The Article and Section headings are for convenience only and shall not affect the

 If the Depositor takes action in violation of this Section 10.9, the Property Trustee agrees, for the benefit of Holders, that at the
expense of the Depositor, it shall file an answer with the bankruptcy court or otherwise properly contest the filing of such petition by the Depositor against the Issuer Trust or the commencement of such action and raise the defense that the
Depositor has agreed in writing not to take such action and should be stopped and precluded therefrom and such other defenses, if any, as counsel for the Issuer Trustee or the Issuer Trust may assert.

conflicts with the duties imposed by Sections 310 to 317, inclusive, of the Trust Indenture Act, such imposed duties shall control. 
 (b) The Property Trustee shall be the only Issuer Trustee that is a trustee for the purposes of the Trust Indenture Act.

 THE RECEIPT AND ACCEPTANCE OF A TRUST SECURITY OR ANY INTEREST THEREIN BY OR ON BEHALF OF A HOLDER OR ANY BENEFICIAL OWNER, WITHOUT ANY
