 DISTRIBUTIONS; REDEMPTION

 Section 4.1 Distributions. 
 (a) The Trust Securities represent undivided beneficial interests in the Trust Property, and Distributions (including of Additional Amounts) will be made on the Trust Securities at the rate and on the dates that
payments of interest (including of Additional Interest, as defined in the Indenture) are made on the Notes. 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. Distributions shall accumulate from and including [ ], 2009
and, except in the event (and to the extent) that the Sponsor exercises its right to defer the payment of interest on the Notes pursuant to the Indenture, shall be payable, in respect of interest accruing on the Notes during the Fixed Rate Period,
semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing [December 15, 2009] through and including [June 15, 2019] and, in respect of interest accruing on the Notes during the Floating Rate Period, shall be payable
quarterly in arrears on each March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15, commencing [September 15, 2019] through and including the Scheduled Maturity Date for the Notes and in respect of any Trust Securities that
remain Outstanding following the Scheduled Maturity Date, monthly in arrears on the 15th day of each month, commencing the July 15 next following the Scheduled Maturity Date through and including the date on which the Notes are repaid. If any
date on which a Distribution is otherwise payable on the Trust Securities in respect of interest accruing on the Notes during the Fixed Rate Period is not a Business Day, then the payment of such Distribution shall 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 the date on which such payment was originally payable. If any date on which a Distribution is otherwise payable
on the Trust Securities in respect of interest accruing on the Notes during the Floating Rate Period is not a Business Day (other than any such date that is also a Redemption Date for the Trust Securities), then the related Distribution Date shall
be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, (each date on which distributions are payable, whether during the Fixed Rate Period or Floating Rate Period, in accordance with this Section 4.1(a), a “Distribution Date”). 

(ii) In the event (and to the extent) that the Sponsor exercises its right under the Indenture to defer the payment of interest on the
Notes, 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 the then
applicable rate of interest on the Notes. The amount of Distributions payable for any period during the Fixed Rate Period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The amount of Distributions payable for any period
during the Floating Rate Period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. The amount of Distributions payable for any period shall include any Additional Amounts in respect of such period. 
 (iii) Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be made by the Paying Agent on behalf of 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, which shall be the first day of the month in which the relevant Distribution Date falls, 

  

 -13- 








 
whether or not a Business Day. Distributions payable on any Trust Securities that are not punctually paid on an applicable 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 Distributions. 
 Section 4.2 Redemption. 

(a) On each Note Redemption Date and Note Repayment Date and on the Final Repayment Date on which Notes shall be repaid by the Sponsor in an aggregate
principal amount, the Issuer Trust will be required to redeem a Like Amount of Trust Securities at a redemption price per Trust Security equal to 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 (or, in the case of a Note Repayment
Date, not less than 10 nor more than 15 Business 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; 
 (ii) the Redemption Price, or if the Redemption Price cannot be calculated prior to the time the notice is required to be sent, the method by which the Redemption Price shall be calculated together with a statement
that the actual Redemption Price will be calculated no later than the third Business Day prior to the Redemption Date; 
 (iii) 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; 
 (iv) 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 
 (v) if the Preferred Securities are not then Book-Entry Preferred Securities, the place or places where the applicable Preferred Securities Certificates are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price. 
 The Issuer Trust in issuing the Trust Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Property Trustee shall
indicate the “CUSIP” numbers of the Trust Securities in notices of redemption and related materials 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 Trust Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption and related materials. 
 (c) Each Trust Security
redeemed on any Redemption Date shall be redeemed at a redemption price equal to the Redemption Price. 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 cash in an amount equal to the Redemption Price 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 Preferred 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 Preferred Securities, irrevocably deposit with the Clearing Agency for such Book-Entry Preferred Securities, to the extent available therefor, the applicable Redemption Price and will give such Clearing Agency
irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Redemption Price to the Holders of the 

  

 -14- 








 
Preferred Securities. With respect to Preferred Securities that are not Book-Entry Preferred Securities, the Property Trustee, subject to
Section 4.2(c), will irrevocably deposit with the Paying Agent, to the extent available therefor, the applicable Redemption Price and will give the Paying Agent irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Redemption Price to the Holders
of the Preferred Securities upon surrender of their Preferred 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 the Redemption Price 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
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 Sponsor pursuant to the Guarantee Agreement, 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 Preferred Securities based upon the
relative Liquidation Amounts of such classes, except in the case of a payment default, as set forth in Section 4.3. The particular Preferred 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 Preferred Securities not previously called for redemption by any method the Property Trustee deems fair and appropriate,
provided that so long as the Preferred Securities are in book-entry-only form, such selection shall be made in accordance with the customary procedures for the Clearing Agency for the Preferred Securities. The Property Trustee shall promptly
notify the Securities Registrar in writing of the Preferred Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Preferred 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 Preferred Securities shall relate, in the case of any Preferred Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the aggregate
Liquidation Amount of Preferred 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 Preferred Securities based on the Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities; provided, however, that if on any
Distribution Date, Redemption Date or Liquidation Date any Event of Default resulting from a Note Event of 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 Preferred 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 Preferred 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 Preferred 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 Preferred Securities then due and payable.

 (b) In the case of the occurrence of any Event of Default resulting from any Note 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 Preferred Securities have been cured, waived or
otherwise eliminated. Until all such Events of Default under this Trust Agreement with respect to the Preferred Securities have been so cured, waived or otherwise eliminated, the Property Trustee shall act solely on behalf of the Holders of the
Preferred Securities and not on behalf of the Holders of the Common Securities, and only the Holders of the Preferred Securities will have the right to direct the Property Trustee to act on their behalf. 
 Section 4.4 Payment Procedures. 
 Payments of Distributions (including any Additional Amounts) in respect of the Preferred Securities, subject to the next succeeding sentence, 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 Preferred Securities are held by a Clearing Agency, such Distributions shall be made to the Clearing Agency in immediately available funds. A Holder of $1,000,000 or more in aggregate Liquidation Amount
of Preferred Securities may receive payments of cash Distributions (including any Additional Amounts) by wire transfer of immediately available funds upon written request to the Property Trustee not later than the 15th calendar day, whether or not a
Business Day, before the relevant Distribution Date. Payments in respect of the Common Securities shall be made in such manner as shall be mutually agreed between the Property Trustee and the Holders of the Common Securities. 
 Section 4.5 Tax Returns and Reports. 
 The Administrative Trustees shall prepare (or cause to be prepared), at the Sponsor’s expense, and file all United States Federal, state and local tax and information returns and reports required to be filed by or in respect of the
Issuer Trust. In this regard, the Administrative Trustees shall (a) prepare and file (or cause to be prepared and filed) all Internal Revenue Service forms required to be filed in respect of the Issuer Trust 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 provide the Sponsor and the Property
Trustee with a copy of all such returns and reports promptly after such filing or furnishing. The Issuer Trustees shall comply with United States Federal withholding and backup withholding tax laws and information reporting requirements with respect
to any payments to Holders under the Trust Securities. Such withholding or backup withholding (if any) shall be deducted from any payment and shall be considered as duly paid under the terms of this Amended and Restated Trust Agreement and the Trust
Securities. 
 Section 4.6 Payment of Taxes, Duties, Etc. of the Issuer Trust. 
 Upon receipt under the Notes of Additional Sums, the Property Trustee shall at the direction of the Administrative Trustees promptly pay any taxes, duties
or governmental charges of whatsoever nature (other than withholding taxes) imposed on the Issuer Trust by the United States or any other taxing authority, which were included in such Additional Sums. 
 Section 4.7 Payments under Indenture or Pursuant to Direct Actions. 
 Any amount payable hereunder to any Holder of Preferred Securities (or any Owner with respect thereto) shall be reduced by the amount of any corresponding
payment such Holder (or Owner) has directly received pursuant to Section 5.8 of the Indenture or Section 5.13 of this Trust Agreement. 
 Section 4.8 Liability of the Holder of Common Securities. 
 As permitted under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, the
Sponsor hereby covenants to pay all debts and obligations (other than with respect to the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities) and all costs and expenses of the Issuer Trust, including, but not limited to, all costs and expenses relating
to the organization of the Issuer Trust (without duplication of amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof), the indemnities, fees and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) of the Issuer Trustees (to the extent the same are
provided for 

  

 -16- 








 
herein) and all costs and expenses relating to the offering, sale and issuance of the Trust Securities and the operation, maintenance and dissolution of the
Issuer Trust (including, without limitation, costs and expenses of accountants, attorneys, statistical or bookkeeping services, expenses for printing and engraving and computing or accounting equipment, paying agent(s), registrar(s), transfer
agent(s), duplicating, travel and telephone and other telecommunications expenses and costs and expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition, financing, and disposition of Trust assets and the enforcement by the Property Trustee of the
rights of the holders of the Notes) and to pay any and all taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature (other than withholding taxes) imposed on the Issuer Trust by the United States, or any other taxing authority, with
respect to the aforesaid debts, obligations, costs and expenses. The Sponsor’s obligations under this Section 4.8 shall be for the benefit of, and shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be enforceable by, any Person to whom such
debts, obligations and costs are owed (a “Creditor”) whether or not such Creditor has received notice hereof. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any such Creditor may enforce the Sponsor’s obligations under this
Section 4.8 directly against the Sponsor and the Sponsor irrevocably waives any right or remedy to require that any such Creditor take any action against the Issuer Trust or any other Person before proceeding against the Sponsor. The Sponsor
agrees to execute such additional agreements as may be necessary in order to give full effect to the provisions of this Section 4.8.

 Section 5.1 Initial Ownership. 
 Upon the formation of the Issuer Trust and the contribution by

Trust Securities Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Issuer Trust 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 Section 5.5.

 -17- 








 
Issuer Trust upon the written order of the Sponsor, executed by one Authorized Officer thereof, and shall cause the Preferred Securities Certificates to be
delivered to the Property Trustee and upon such delivery the Property Trustee shall authenticate such Preferred Securities Certificates, in each case without further corporate action by the Sponsor, in authorized denominations. After the Time of
Delivery, the Administrative Trustees may cause additional Preferred Securities to be executed on behalf of the Issuer Trust and delivered to or upon the written order of the Sponsor, such written order executed by one authorized officer thereof,
without further corporate action by the Sponsor, in authorized denominations; provided however that no such additional Preferred Securities shall be issued unless the Administrative Trustees shall have received an Opinion of Counsel experienced in
such matters to the effect that such issuance will not cause the Issuer Trust to be classified as other than one or more grantor trusts or agency arrangements or to be classified as an association or partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes
or affect the Issuer Trust’s exemption from status as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act. 
 Each
Preferred Securities Certificate shall be dated the date of its authentication. 
 No Preferred Securities Certificate shall be entitled to
any benefit under this Trust Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Preferred Securities Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for in the form attached as Exhibit C
executed by the Property Trustee by the manual signature of one of its Authorized Officers, and such certificate upon any Preferred Securities Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Preferred Securities
Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. 
 Section 5.4 Book-Entry Preferred Securities. 
 (a) Each Book-Entry Preferred Securities Certificate issued under this Trust Agreement shall be registered in the name of the Clearing Agency or a nominee
thereof and delivered to such Clearing Agency or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Book-Entry Preferred Securities Certificate shall constitute a single Preferred Securities Certificate for all purposes of this Trust Agreement.

 (b) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Trust Agreement, no Book-Entry Preferred Securities Certificate may be exchanged in whole
or in part for Book-Entry Preferred Securities Certificates registered, and no transfer of a Book-Entry Preferred Securities Certificate in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Clearing Agency for such
Book-Entry Preferred Securities Certificate or a nominee thereof unless (A) such Clearing Agency (i) has notified the Issuer Trust that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Clearing Agency for such Book-Entry Preferred Securities
Certificate and no successor Clearing Agency has been appointed within 90 days of this notice and (ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act at a time when the Clearing Agency is required to be so registered to
act as clearing agent and no successor Clearing Agency has been appointed within 90 days after the Issuer Trust has learned that the Clearing Agency has ceased to be so registered, (B) there shall have occurred and be continuing a Note Event of
Default, or (C) the Sponsor in its sole discretion determines that such Book-Entry Preferred Securities Certificate will be so exchangeable or transferable. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in clause (A), (B) or (C) above,
the Property Trustee shall notify the Clearing Agency and instruct the Clearing Agency to notify all Owners of Book-Entry Preferred Securities and the Administrative Trustees of the occurrence of such event and of the availability of the Definitive
Preferred Securities Certificates to Owners of such class or classes, as applicable, requesting the same. 
 (c) If any Book-Entry Preferred
Securities Certificate is to be exchanged for other Preferred Securities Certificates or cancelled in part, or if any other Preferred Securities Certificate is to be exchanged in whole or in part for Book-Entry Preferred Securities represented by a
Book-Entry Preferred Securities Certificate, then either (i) such Book-Entry Preferred Securities Certificate shall be so surrendered for exchange or cancellation as provided in this Article V or (ii) the aggregate Liquidation Amount
represented by such Book-Entry Preferred Securities Certificate shall be reduced or increased by an amount equal to the Liquidation Amount represented by that portion of the Book-Entry Preferred Securities Certificate to be so exchanged or
cancelled, or equal to the Liquidation Amount represented by such other Preferred Securities Certificates to be so exchanged for Book-Entry Preferred Securities represented thereby, as the case may be, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on
the records of the Securities Registrar, whereupon the Property Trustee, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, shall instruct the Clearing Agency or its authorized representative to make a corresponding adjustment to its records. Upon
surrender to the Administrative Trustees or the Securities Registrar of the Book-Entry Preferred Securities 

  

 -18- 








 
Certificate or Certificates by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Administrative Trustees, or any one of them, shall execute
the Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. None of the Securities Registrar, the Issuer Trustees or the Administrative 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 Preferred Securities Certificates, the Issuer Trustees shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Preferred
Securities Certificates as Holders. The Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates shall be printed, lithographed or engraved or may be produced in any other manner as is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Trustees, as evidenced by the
execution thereof by the Administrative Trustees or any one of them. 
 (d) Every Preferred Securities Certificate executed and delivered
upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Book-Entry Preferred Securities Certificate or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Article V or Article IV or otherwise, shall be executed and delivered in the form of,
and shall be, a Book-Entry Preferred Securities Certificate, unless such Preferred Securities Certificate is registered in the name of a Person other than the Clearing Agency for such Book-Entry Preferred Securities Certificate or a nominee thereof.

 (e) The Clearing Agency or its nominee, as registered owner of a Book-Entry Preferred Securities Certificate, shall be the Holder of such
Book-Entry Preferred Securities Certificate for all purposes under this Agreement and the Book-Entry Preferred Securities Certificate, and Owners with respect to a Book-Entry Preferred Securities Certificate shall hold such interests pursuant to the
Applicable Procedures. 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 Preferred Securities Certificates (including the payment
of the Liquidation Amount of and Distributions on the Book-Entry Preferred Securities represented thereby and the giving of instructions or directions by Owners of Book-Entry Preferred Securities represented thereby) as the sole Holder of the
Book-Entry Preferred Securities represented thereby and shall have no obligations to the Owners thereof. None of the Issuer Trustees nor the Securities Registrar shall have any liability in respect of any transfers effected by the Clearing Agency.

 The rights of the Owners of the Book-Entry Preferred Securities shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited
to those established by law, the Applicable Procedures and agreements between such Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants. Pursuant to the Certificate Depository Agreement, unless and until Definitive Preferred
Securities Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 5.4(b), the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit payments on the Preferred Securities to such Clearing
Agency Participants, and none of the Sponsor or the Issuer Trustees shall have any responsibility or obligation with respect thereto. 
 Section 5.5 Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Preferred Securities Certificates. 
 The Property Trustee shall
keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 5.9, a register or registers for the purpose of registering Trust Securities Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Trust Securities Certificates (the
“Securities Register”) in which the registrar and transfer agent with respect to the Trust Securities (the “Securities Registrar”), subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, shall provide for the
registration of Preferred Securities Certificates and Common Securities Certificates (subject to Section 5.11 in the case of the Common Securities Certificates) and registration of transfers and exchanges of Preferred Securities Certificates as
herein provided. The Person acting as the Property Trustee shall at all times also be the Securities Registrar. 
 Upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Preferred Securities Certificate at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 5.9, the Administrative Trustees or any one of them shall execute and deliver to the Property Trustee, and the Property
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Preferred 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, (i) to issue, register the transfer of or
exchange any Preferred Security during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of selection for redemption of such Preferred Securities pursuant to Article IV and ending at the close of business on the day of mailing of
the 

  

 -19- 








 
notice of redemption, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Preferred Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except, in
the case of any such Preferred Security to be redeemed in part, any portion thereof not to be redeemed. 
 Every Preferred 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 or its
attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Preferred Securities Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled and subsequently disposed of by the Property Trustee in accordance with its customary practice.

 No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Preferred 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 Preferred Securities Certificates. 
 A Preferred Securities Certificate that is not a Book-Entry Preferred Securities Certificate may be transferred, in whole or in part, to a Person who
takes delivery in the form of another Preferred Securities Certificate that is not a Book-Entry Preferred Securities Certificate as provided in this Section 5.5. 
 Section 5.6 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 protected 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 5.6, 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 5.7 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 5.8 Access to List of Holders’ Names and Addresses. 
 Each of the Sponsor and any one of the Administrative Trustees will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Property Trustee: 
 (i) quarterly or semi-annually, as the case may be, not more than 15 days after each regular record date in each year, a list, in such
form as the Property Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Holders of Trust Securities as of such regular record date, and 
 (ii) at such other times as the Property Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after the receipt by the Sponsor and the Administrative Trustees of any such request, a list of similar 

  

 -20- 








 
form and content as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such list is furnished, excluding from any such list names and addresses received by
the Property Trustee at any time that is acting as Securities Registrar. 
 The Property Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is
reasonably practicable, the names and addresses of Holders contained in the most recent list furnished to the Property Trustee as provided in this Section 5.8 and the names and addresses of Holders received by the Property Trustee at any time
that is acting as Securities Registrar. The Property Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 5.8 upon receipt of a new list so furnished. 
 The rights of Holders to communicate with other Holders with respect to their rights under this Trust Agreement or under the Trust Securities, and the corresponding rights and privileges of the Property Trustee, shall
be as provided in the Trust Indenture Act. 
 Each Holder and each Owner shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold the Sponsor, the Property
Trustee, the Delaware Trustee, the Administrative Trustees or the Securities Registrar accountable by reason of the disclosure of its name and address, regardless of the source from which such information was derived. 
 Section 5.9 Maintenance of Office or Agency. 
 The Property Trustee shall designate, with the consent of the Administrative Trustees, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, an office or offices or agency or agencies where Preferred 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 the
Property Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, as its office and agency for such purposes. The Property Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Sponsor, the Administrative Trustees and to the
Holders of any change in the location of the Securities Register or any such office or agency. 
 Section 5.10 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 Administrative Trustees may
revoke such power and remove the Paying Agent in their sole discretion. The Paying Agent shall initially be Wilmington Trust Company. 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 Wilmington Trust Company shall no longer be the Paying Agent or a successor Paying Agent shall resign or its authority to act be revoked, the Administrative Trustees shall appoint a successor
(which shall be a bank or trust company) to act as Paying Agent. Such successor Paying Agent or any additional Paying Agent appointed by the Administrative Trustees 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. 
 Section 5.11 Ownership of Common Securities by Sponsor. 
 At the Time of Delivery, the Sponsor shall acquire, and thereafter shall retain, beneficial and record ownership of the Common Securities. The Sponsor may
not transfer the Common Securities except (i) in connection with a consolidation or merger of the Sponsor into another Person, or any conveyance, transfer or lease by the Sponsor of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any
Person, pursuant to Article VIII of the Indenture, or (ii) to an Affiliate of the Sponsor in compliance with applicable law (including the Securities Act and applicable state securities and blue sky laws). To the fullest extent permitted by
law, any attempted transfer of the Common Securities other than as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall be void. The Administrative Trustees shall cause each Common Securities Certificate issued to the Sponsor to contain a legend
substantially to the following effect: 
 “THIS CERTIFICATE IS NOT TRANSFERABLE EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW AND SECTION 5.11
OF THE TRUST AGREEMENT.” 
  

 -21- 








 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 Preferred Securities are
represented by a Book-Entry Preferred Securities Certificate, the Issuer Trustees 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 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. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.8, 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 Preferred Securities remain Outstanding, if, upon the occurrence of a Note Event of Default, the Note Trustee fails or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding
Notes fail to declare the principal of all of the Notes to be immediately due and payable, the Property Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities then Outstanding shall have the right to make such
declaration by a notice in writing to the Sponsor, the Note Trustee and the Property Trustee, in the case of notice by the Holders of the Trust Securities, or to the Sponsor, the Note Trustee and the Holders of the Trust Securities, in the case of
notice by the Property Trustee. 
 At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes has been made and before a
judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Note Trustee as provided in the Indenture, the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities, by written notice to the Property Trustee, the
Sponsor and the Note Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: 
 (i) the Sponsor has paid or
deposited with the Note Trustee a sum sufficient to pay 
 (A) all overdue installments of interest (including any Additional
Interest) on all of the Notes, 
 (B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Notes that have become due otherwise than
by such declaration of acceleration and interest (including any Additional Interest) thereon at the rate borne by the Notes, and 
 (C) all sums paid or advanced by the Note Trustee under the Indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Note Trustee, its agents and counsel; and 
  

 -22- 








 (ii) all Events of Default with respect to the Notes, other than the non-payment of the
principal of the Notes that has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13 of the Indenture. 
 No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 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 Preferred Securities a record date shall be established for determining Holders of Outstanding
Preferred 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 5.13(b). 
 (c) For so long as any Preferred Securities remain Outstanding, to the fullest extent permitted by law and
subject to the terms of this Trust Agreement and the Indenture, upon the failure of the Sponsor, as issuer of the Notes, to pay any amounts owing upon the Notes on the due date thereof in accordance with the terms of the Notes and the Indenture, any
Holder of Preferred Securities shall have the right to institute a proceeding directly against the Sponsor, pursuant to Section 5.8 of the Indenture, for enforcement of payment to such Holder of any amounts payable in respect of Notes having an
aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities of such Holder (a “Direct Action”). Except as set forth in Section 5.13(b) and this Section 5.13(c), the Holders of Preferred
Securities shall have no right to exercise directly any right or remedy available to the holders of, or in respect of, the Notes. 
 (d)
Except as otherwise provided in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 5.13, the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Preferred Securities, waive any
past default or Event of Default or any past default under the Indenture (and, in each case, the consequences of such default or Event of Default), except a default under the Indenture 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 Note Trustee) or a default under the Indenture 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 Note. Upon such waiver, any such default or Event of Default shall cease to exist, and any default or Event of Default arising therefrom 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. 
 (e) the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities, by written notice to the Property Trustee, may direct the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Property Trustee or to direct the exercise of any trust or power conferred upon the Property Trustee to exercise the remedies available to it as a holder of the Notes.

 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 Preferred Securities shall
have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise 

  

 -23- 








 
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 Notes are held by the Property Trustee on behalf of the Issuer Trust, the other Issuer Trustees shall not (i) direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Note Trustee, or execute any trust or power conferred on the Property Trustee with respect to the Notes, (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 Notes shall be due and payable, or (iv) consent to any amendment, modification or termination of the Indenture or the Notes, 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 Preferred Securities, provided, however, that where a consent under the Indenture would require the consent of each Holder of Notes affected
thereby, no such consent shall be given by the Property Trustee without the prior written consent of each Holder of Preferred Securities. The Issuer Trustees shall not revoke any action previously authorized or approved by a vote of the Holders of
the Preferred Securities, except by a subsequent vote of the Holders of the Preferred Securities. The Property Trustee shall notify all Holders of the Preferred Securities of any notice of default received with respect to the Notes. In addition to
obtaining the foregoing approvals of the Holders of the Preferred Securities, prior to taking any of the foregoing actions, the Issuer Trustees shall, at the expense of the Sponsor, obtain an Opinion of Counsel experienced in such matters to the
effect that such action shall not cause the Issuer Trust to be classified as other than one or more grantor trusts or agency arrangements or to be classified as an association or partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. 
 Section 6.2 Notice of Meetings. 
 Notice of all meetings of the Holders of the Preferred Securities, stating the time, place and purpose of the meeting, shall be given by the Administrative Trustees or, at the written request of the Administrative Trustees, by the Property
Trustee pursuant to Section 10.7 to each Holder of Preferred 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 Preferred Securities. 
 No annual meeting of Holders is required to be held. The
Administrative Trustees, however, shall call a meeting of the Holders of the Preferred Securities to vote on any matter upon the written request of the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Outstanding Preferred Securities
and the Administrative Trustees or the Property Trustee may, at any time in their discretion, call a meeting of the Holders of the Preferred 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 Preferred Securities, present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any
meeting of the Holders of the Preferred Securities. 
 If a quorum is present at a meeting, an affirmative vote by the Holders present, in
person or by proxy, holding Preferred Securities representing at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities held by the Holders present, either in person or by proxy, at such meeting shall constitute the action of the Holders
of the Preferred 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 $1,000 of Liquidation Amount represented by their Outstanding Trust Securities
in respect of any matter as to which such Holders are entitled to vote. 
  

 -24- 








 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 Administrative Trustees, or with such other officer or agent of the Issuer Trust as the Administrative Trustees may direct, for verification prior to the time at which such vote shall be taken. Pursuant to a
resolution of the Property Trustee, 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 and without prior notice if Holders holding at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of all Preferred 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 or Property Trustee 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 an Administrative 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. 
 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. 

 

 -25- 








 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 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 conclusive with respect to
such matter. 
 Section 6.9 Inspection of Records. 
 Upon reasonable notice to the Administrative Trustees and the Property Trustee, the records of the Issuer Trust shall be open to inspection by Holders during normal business hours for any purpose reasonably related to
such Holder’s interest as a Holder.

by the Issuer Trustees pursuant to the terms and provisions of, and in accordance with the requirements of, this Trust Agreement and the Holders will be, as of each such date, entitled to the benefits of this Trust Agreement. 
 ARTICLE VIII. 
 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 and, in the case of the Property Trustee, by the Trust Indenture Act. 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 own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of
any of its 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 from liability for his or her own negligent action, his or her own negligent failure to act, or his or her own willful misconduct. To the extent that, at law or in equity, an Issuer Trustee has duties
and liabilities relating to the Issuer Trust or to the Holders, such Issuer Trustee shall not be liable to the Issuer Trust or to any Holder for such Issuer Trustee’s good faith reliance on the provisions of this Trust Agreement. The provisions
of this Trust Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of the Issuer Trustees otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Sponsor and the Holders to replace such other duties and liabilities of the Issuer
Trustees. 
 (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 

  

 -27- 








 
distribution to it as herein provided and that the Issuer Trustees are not personally liable to it 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. 
 (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 10.9), 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 5.13), 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. 
 (e) No provision of this Trust Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Property Trustee or the Delaware 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 10.9), 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 10.9); 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 on their face 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 Preferred 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 Notes 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 Sponsor; 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; 
  

 -28- 








 (vi) the Property Trustee shall not be responsible for monitoring the compliance by the
Administrative Trustees, the Sponsor or any other Person with their respective duties under this Trust Agreement, nor shall the Property Trustee be liable for the default or misconduct of any other Issuer Trustee, or the Sponsor or any other Person;
and 
 (vii) subject to Section 8.1(c), 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. 
 (f) The Administrative Trustees shall not be responsible for monitoring the compliance by the other Issuer Trustees or the Sponsor with their respective
duties under this Trust Agreement, nor shall any Administrative Trustee be liable for the default or misconduct of any other Administrative Trustee, the other Issuer Trustees or the Sponsor. 
 Section 8.2 Certain Notices. 
 Within 30 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Property Trustee, the Property Trustee shall transmit, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 10.7, notice of such
Event of Default to the Holders, the Administrative Trustees and the Sponsor, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived. 
 Within five Business Days after the receipt of notice of the Sponsor’s exercise of its right to defer the payment of interest on the Notes pursuant to the Indenture, the Property Trustee shall transmit, in the manner and to the extent
provided in Section 10.7, notice of such exercise to the Holders, unless such exercise shall have been revoked. 
 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, Note, 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 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 Preferred
Securities are entitled to vote under the terms of this Trust Agreement, the Property Trustee shall deliver a notice to the Sponsor requesting the Sponsor’s opinion as to the course of action to be taken, and the Property Trustee shall be fully
protected in taking such action, or refraining from taking such action, as the Property Trustee shall be instructed in writing to take, or to refrain from taking, by the Sponsor; provided, however, that if the Property Trustee does not receive such
instructions of the Sponsor within ten Business Days after it has delivered such notice, or such reasonably shorter period of time set forth in such notice (which to the extent practicable shall not be less than two Business Days), it may take or
refrain from taking such action not inconsistent with this Trust Agreement as it shall deem advisable and in the best interests of the Holders, in which event the Property Trustee shall have no liability except for its own bad faith, negligence or
willful misconduct; 
  

 -29- 








 (c) any direction or act of the Sponsor 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 Sponsor 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 or the Sponsor pursuant to this Trust Agreement, unless such Holders or Sponsor 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; 
 (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, Note, 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 willful misconduct with respect to selection of any agent or attorney appointed by it hereunder and shall not be liable for any act or omission of such agent or attorney selected with due care; 
 (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 
 (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. 
  

 -30- 








 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 Property Trustee shall extend to each of the Security Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Delaware Trustee and shall be subject to the provisions of this Article VIII.

 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 Sponsor, 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 Sponsor of the proceeds of the Notes. 
 The Property Trustee may conclusively assume that any funds held by it hereunder are legally available unless an officer of the Property Trustee assigned
to its institutional trust services department shall have received written notice from the Sponsor, any Holder or any other Issuer Trustee that such funds are not legally available. 
 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 and 8.13, and except as provided in
the definition of the term “Outstanding” in Article I, may otherwise deal with the Issuer Trust with the same rights it would have if it were not an Issuer Trustee or such other agent. 
 Section 8.6 Compensation; Indemnity; Fees. 
 The Sponsor 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 Sponsor 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 trustee of an express trust);

 (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 agents and counsel), except any such
expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to their own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct; and 
 (c) to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, to indemnify and hold harmless (i) each Issuer Trustee, (ii) any Affiliate of any Issuer Trustee, any officer, director, shareholder, employee, representative or agent of any Issuer Trustee, and
(iii) any employee or agent of the Issuer Trust (referred to herein as an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any loss, damage, liability, action, suit, tax, penalty, expense or claim of any kind or nature whatsoever
incurred by such Indemnified Person by reason of the creation, operation or termination of the Issuer Trust or any act or omission performed or omitted by such Indemnified Person on behalf of the Issuer Trust, except that no Indemnified Person shall
be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any loss, damage, action, suit or claim incurred by such Indemnified Person by reason of negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions. 
 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. 
 Notwithstanding any provision of law or equity, the Sponsor 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 

  

 -31- 








 
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. Notwithstanding any
provision of law or equity, neither the Sponsor 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 Sponsor 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. Notwithstanding any provision of law or equity, any Issuer Trustee may engage or be interested in any financial or other transaction with the Sponsor or any Affiliate of the Sponsor, or may act as depositary for, trustee or agent for,
or act on any committee or body of holders of, securities or other obligations of the Sponsor or its Affiliates. 
 Section 8.7
Corporate Property Trustee Required; Eligibility of Issuer 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 VIII. 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. 
 (c) There shall at all times be a Delaware Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities. The
Delaware 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 requirements of applicable Delaware law and that shall act through one or more persons authorized to bind such entity. 
 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. 
 (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 Note Event of 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 

  

 -32- 








 
other provisions of this Section. 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. In case a Note Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Property Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment and, upon the written request of the Property Trustee, the Sponsor 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. 
 Should any written instrument from the Sponsor 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 Sponsor. 
 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 Certificates shall be executed by one or more Administrative Trustees, and the Trust Securities Certificates 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. 
 (c) The Property Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing executed by it, with the written concurrence of the Sponsor, may accept the resignation
of or remove any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed under this Section, and, in case a Note Event of 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 Sponsor. Upon the written request of the Property Trustee, the Sponsor 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. 
 (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. 
 No resignation or removal of any Issuer Trustee (the “Relevant Trustee”) and no appointment of a successor Issuer Trustee pursuant to
this Article VIII 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 

  

 -33- 








 
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 Sponsor, 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 removed at any time by 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 removed by Act of the
Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred 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 (c) of the definition thereof with respect to the Relevant Trustee), or (ii) at any time if a Note Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Unless and
until a Note Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, or both of them, may be removed 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 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 Note Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Holders of the Preferred Securities, by Act of the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities then Outstanding delivered
to such Relevant Trustee, may appoint a successor Relevant Trustee or Issuer 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 Preferred 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. 
 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 10.7 and shall give notice to the Sponsor 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. 
 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 Relevant Trustee (if requested by the
Sponsor) and each successor Relevant Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities shall execute and deliver an instrument 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) may 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 instrument shall constitute such Relevant Trustees co-trustees and upon the execution and delivery of such instrument 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, other than the filing of an amendment to the Certificate of Trust to
the extent required under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act; but, on request of the Issuer Trust or any successor Relevant Trustee such retiring Relevant 

  

 -34- 








 
Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Relevant Trustee all Trust Property, all proceeds thereof and money held by such retiring
Relevant Trustee hereunder with respect to the Trust Securities and the Issuer Trust. 
 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 VIII. 
 Section 8.12 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. 
 Any Person into which the Property Trustee, the Delaware Trustee or any Administrative Trustee that is not a natural Person 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 VIII, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of
any of the parties hereto, other than the filing of an amendment to the Certificate of Trust to the extent required under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act. 
 Section 8.13 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Sponsor or Issuer Trust. 
 If and when the
Property Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Sponsor or the Issuer Trust (or any other obligor upon the Preferred Securities), the Property Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of
claims against the Sponsor or the Issuer Trust (or any such other obligor). 
 Section 8.14 Property Trustee May File Proofs of
Claim. 
 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.

 (iii) any change in the property and funds in its possession as Property Trustee since the date of its last report and any

 (b) In addition, the Property Trustee shall transmit to Holders such reports concerning the Property Trustee and its actions under this Trust Agreement

 (c) A copy of each such

 ARTICLE IX. 
 TERMINATION, LIQUIDATION AND MERGER 
 Section 9.1 Termination. 

The Issuer Trust shall automatically dissolve upon the occurrence of a Termination Event. 
 Section 9.2 Termination Events. 
 The first to occur of any of the following events is a “Termination Event”, upon the occurrence of which the Issuer Trust shall dissolve: 
 (a) the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event in respect of, or the dissolution or liquidation of, the Sponsor, in its capacity as the Holder of the Common Securities, unless the Common Securities shall be transferred as
provided by Section 5.11, in which case this provision shall refer instead to any such successor Holder of the Common Securities and shall be conditioned upon the receipt by the holders of the Common Securities of an Opinion of Counsel
experienced in such matters to the effect that the distribution will not be taxable for United States federal income tax purposes to the Holders); 
 (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 Notes to Holders in exchange for the Preferred Securities (which direction is
optional and wholly within the discretion of the Holders of the Common Securities); 
 (c) the redemption of all of the Preferred Securities
in accordance with the provisions of this Trust Agreement; and 
 (d) the entry of an order for dissolution of the Issuer Trust by a court of
competent jurisdiction. 
 If a Termination Event shall occur, the provisions of Section 9.4 shall apply. 
 Section 9.3 Termination of Obligations. 
 The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Issuer 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; and (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. 
  

 -37- 








 Section 9.4 Liquidation. 
 (a) If a Termination Event specified in clause (a), (b) or (d) of Section 9.2 occurs, the Issuer Trust shall be liquidated by the Issuer
Trustees as expeditiously as the Issuer Trustees determine 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 Notes, 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 Notes, or if Section 9.4(d) applies, a right to receive a Liquidation Distribution; and 
 (iv) provide such information with respect to the procedures by which Holders may exchange Trust Securities Certificates for Notes, or if
Section 9.4(d) applies receive a Liquidation Distribution, as the Administrative Trustees shall deem appropriate. 
 (b) Except where
Section 9.4(d) or Section 9.4(e) applies, in order to effect the liquidation of the Issuer Trust and distribution of the Notes 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 Notes in
exchange for the Outstanding Trust Securities Certificates. 
 (c) Except where Section 9.4(d) or Section 9.4(e) applies, after the
Liquidation Date, (i) the Trust Securities will no longer be deemed to be Outstanding, (ii) certificates representing a Like Amount of Notes 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 Notes bearing accrued and unpaid 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 Notes) and (iv) all rights of Holders holding Trust Securities will cease, except the right of such Holders to receive Notes 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 Notes in the manner provided herein is determined by the Property Trustee and the Administrative Trustees not to be possible the Trust Property shall be liquidated, and the Issuer Trust’s affairs
shall be wound up by the Property Trustee and the Administrative Trustees in such manner as the Administrative Trustees determine. In such event, upon the winding-up of the Issuer Trust, except with respect to a Termination Event specified in clause
(b) of Section 9.2, 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 winding up, 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 pro rata (determined as aforesaid) with Holders
of Preferred Securities, except that the Preferred Securities shall have a priority over the Common Securities under the circumstances provided in Section 4.3. 
  

 -38- 








 (e) If a Termination Event specified in clause (c) of Section 9.2 occurs, the Trust Property
(if any) shall be liquidated and the Issuer Trust’s affairs shall be wound up by the Property Trustee and the Administrative Trustees in such manner as the Administrative Trustees determine. 
 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 or Section 9.4. At the request of the Holders of the Common Securities, with the consent of the Administrative Trustees, 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 Preferred Securities, or (b) substitutes for the Preferred Securities other securities having substantially the same terms as the
Preferred Securities (the “Successor Securities”) so long as the Successor Securities have the same priority as the Preferred 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 Notes, (iii) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not cause
the Preferred Securities (including any Successor Securities) to be downgraded by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization which assigns ratings to the Preferred Securities, (iv) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation,
replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of the Preferred 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 Sponsor 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 Preferred 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 entity will be required to register as an “investment company” under the Investment
Company Act, and (vii) the Sponsor or its permitted successor or assignee 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer Trust shall not, except with the consent of Holders of all of the Preferred 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 classified as other than one or more grantor trusts or agency arrangements or to be classified as an association or partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 MISCELLANEOUS
PROVISIONS 
 Section 10.1 Limitation of Rights of Holders.

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 that would cause the Issuer Trust to be classified
as other than one or more grantor trusts or agency arrangements or to be classified as an association or partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

for the benefit of Holders, that at the expense of the Sponsor, it shall file an answer with the bankruptcy court or otherwise properly contest the filing of such petition by the Sponsor against the Issuer Trust or the commencement of such action
and raise the defense that the Sponsor has agreed in writing not to take such action and should be estopped and precluded therefrom and such other defenses, if any, as counsel for the Issuer Trustees or the Issuer Trust may assert.

extent applicable, be governed by such provisions. 
 (b) The Property Trustee shall be the only Issuer Trustee that is a trustee for the

317, inclusive, of the Trust Indenture Act through operation of Section 318(c) thereof, such imposed duties shall control. If any provision of this Trust Agreement modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act which may be so
modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Trust Agreement as so modified or excluded, as the case may be.
