Preferred Securities in full for any Payment Period), give to the Holders of the Trust Securities
in the manner set forth in Section 15.01 hereof, notices of all Enforcement Events (or such events)

protected in withholding such notice if and so long as a Responsible Officer of the Property
Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the

     (a) The legal title to the Class B Preferred Securities shall be owned by and held of
record in the name of the Property Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the
Trust Securities. The Property Trustee shall have the power to exercise all rights, powers
and privileges with respect to the Class B Preferred Securities under the LLC Agreement as
the holder of the Class B Preferred Securities. The right, title and interest of the
Property Trustee to the Class B Preferred Securities shall vest automatically in each Person

Such vesting and cessation of title shall be effective whether or not conveyancing documents
with regard to the Class B Preferred Securities have been executed and delivered.




     (b) The Property Trustee shall not transfer its right, title and interest in the Class
B Preferred Securities to the Regular Trustees or to the Delaware Trustee (if the Property

     (c) The Property Trustee shall:




          (i) establish and maintain segregated non-interest bearing trust account for the
receipt, deposit and payment of funds in respect of Capital Payments on, and payments on
redemption of, the Class B Preferred Securities, (plus Additional Amounts, if any), which
payments shall include, but not be limited to, payments pursuant to the



20









 







Class B Preferred Guarantee (such account, the “Cash Property Account”) and to
establish and maintain a segregated non-interest bearing trust account for the receipt,
deposit and payment of other assets and funds in respect of the Class B Preferred Securities
(such account, the “Asset Property Account” and, together with the Cash Property Account,
the “Property Account”). Each of the Property Accounts shall be in the name of and under
the exclusive control of the Property Trustee on behalf of the Holders of the Trust
Securities. Upon the receipt of payments of funds made in respect of the Class B Preferred
Securities held by the Property Trustee, deposit such funds into the Cash Property Account
and cause such funds to be transferred to the Paying Agent for the purpose of making
payments to the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities and the Holder of the Trust Common
Security in accordance with this Agreement. The Property Trustee shall maintain all other
payments of funds made in respect of the Class B Preferred Securities and the assets of the
Trust in the Asset Property Account until such funds, assets or the proceeds therefrom are
distributed to the Holders of the Trust Securities in accordance with this Agreement. Funds
in the Property Accounts shall be held uninvested until disbursed in accordance with this
Agreement. Each Property Account shall be an account that is maintained with a banking
institution authorized to exercise corporate trust powers and having a combined capital and
surplus of at least U.S.$50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or
state authority;




          (ii) engage in such ministerial activities as shall be necessary or appropriate to
effect the redemption of the Trust Preferred Securities and the Trust Common Security to the
extent the Class B Preferred Securities are redeemed; and

necessary or appropriate to effect the distribution of the Class B Preferred Securities to
Holders of the Trust Securities.

specifically required of the Property Trustee pursuant to the terms of the Trust Securities.




     (e) The Property Trustee shall take any Legal Action which arises out of or in
connection with (i) an Enforcement Event of which a Responsible Officer of the Property
Trustee has actual knowledge or (ii) the Property Trustee’s duties and obligations under
this Agreement or the Trust Indenture Act.




     (f) The Property Trustee shall have the legal power, and the Regular Trustees shall
have no power, to exercise all of the rights, powers and privileges of a holder of the Class
B Preferred Securities and, if an Enforcement Event occurs and is continuing, the Property
Trustee shall (subject to the rights of the Holders of the Trust Securities pursuant to the
terms of such Trust Securities) for the benefit of Holders of the Trust Securities, enforce
its rights as holder of the Class B Preferred Securities, including the right to receive
Capital Payments (only if and to the extent declared or deemed declared by the Company)
(plus any Additional Amounts thereon, if any) on the Class B Preferred Securities.



21









 






     (g) The Property Trustee shall continue to serve as a Trustee until either:




          (i) the Trust has been completely liquidated and the proceeds of the liquidation
distributed to the Holders of the Trust Securities pursuant to the terms of the Trust
Securities; or




          (ii) a Successor Property Trustee has been appointed and has accepted that appointment
in accordance with Section 6.06 hereof.




          (iii) Subject to this Section 3.08, the Property Trustee shall have none of the duties,
liabilities, powers or the authorities of the Regular Trustees set forth in Section 3.06
hereof.



          The Property Trustee must exercise the responsibilities set forth in this Section 3.08 in a
manner that is consistent with the purposes and functions of the Trust set out in Section 3.03
hereof, and the Property Trustee shall not take any action that is inconsistent with the purposes
and functions of the Trust set out in Section 3.03 hereof.




          Section 3.09. Certain Duties and Responsibilities of the Property Trustee.





     (a) The Property Trustee, prior to the occurrence of any Enforcement Event and after
the curing or waiver of all Enforcement Events that may have occurred, shall undertake to
perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no implied
covenants shall be read into this Agreement against the Property Trustee.




     (b) In case an Enforcement Event has occurred (that has not been cured or waived
pursuant to Section 2.06 hereof) and is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the
Property Trustee, the Property Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested
in it by this 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. Upon the occurrence of an Enforcement Event, the Property Trustee, as the
holder of the Class B Preferred Securities, shall enforce its rights in accordance with
Section 3.08(f) hereof.




     (c) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Property Trustee
from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own
willful misconduct, except that:




          (i) 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 Agreement; but in the case of any such
certificates or opinions that by any provision hereof are specifically required to be
furnished to the Property Trustee, the Property Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the
same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Agreement;



22









 






          (ii) the Property Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good
faith by a Responsible Officer of the Property Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the
Property Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts upon which such judgment
was made;




          (iii) subject to the requirement of the Property Trustee receiving a tax opinion as set
forth in Section 8.05(g) or Section 8.06(b) hereof, as the case may be, the Property
Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it
regarding 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 Agreement, in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders
of not less than a Majority of the Trust Securities entitled to give such directions in
accordance with this Agreement;




     (d) no provision of this 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 Agreement or indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to the Property Trustee against such risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to it;




     (e) the Property Trustee’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safe keeping and
physical preservation of the Class B Preferred Securities and the Property Accounts 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 Agreement and the Trust Indenture Act;




     (f) the Property Trustee shall have no duty or liability for or with respect to the
value, genuineness, existence or sufficiency of the Class B Preferred Securities or the
payment of any taxes or assessments levied thereon or in connection therewith;




     (g) the money held by the Property Trustee need not be segregated from other funds held
by it except in relation to the Property Accounts maintained by the Property Trustee
pursuant to Section 3.08(c) hereof and except to the extent otherwise required by law; and




     (h) the Property Trustee shall not be responsible for monitoring the compliance by the
Regular Trustees or the Sponsor or the Bank with their respective duties under this
Agreement, nor shall the Property Trustee be liable for any default or misconduct of the
Regular Trustees or the Sponsor or the Bank.



          Section 3.10. Certain Rights of Property Trustee.





     (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 3.09 hereof:



23









 






          (i) the Property Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting
or refraining from acting upon, any Officers’ Certificate, any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond,
debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to
be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;




          (ii) any direction, request, order or demand of the Sponsor or the Regular Trustees
acting on behalf of the Trust contemplated by this Agreement shall be sufficiently evidenced
by an Officers’ Certificate (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically
prescribed);




          (iii) whenever in the administration of this Agreement, the Property Trustee shall deem
it desirable that a matter be proved or established before taking, suffering or omitting any
action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence is herein specifically prescribed),
may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Property Trustee, be
deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to
the Property Trustee, and such Officers’ Certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad
faith on the part of the Property Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Property Trustee for
any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it under the provisions of this
Agreement upon the faith thereof;




          (iv) the Property Trustee may, at the expense of the Bank, consult with counsel or
other experts and the advice or opinion of such counsel and experts with respect to legal
matters or advice within the scope of such experts’ area of expertise 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 accordance with such advice or opinion; such counsel may
be counsel to the Sponsor or any of its Affiliates, and may include any of its employees.
The Property Trustee shall have the right at any time to seek instructions concerning the
administration of this Agreement from any court of competent jurisdiction;




          (v) the Property Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or
powers vested in it by this Agreement at the request or direction of any Holder of the Trust
Securities, unless (a) such Holder shall have provided to the Property Trustee security and
indemnity, reasonably satisfactory to the Property Trustee, against the fees, charges,
costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses and the expenses of the Property
Trustee’s agents, nominees or custodians) and liabilities that might be incurred by it in
complying with such request or direction, including such reasonable advances as may be
requested by the Property Trustee and (b) the Property Trustee has obtained the legal
opinion, if any, required by Section 8.05(g) or Section 8.06(b) hereof, as the case may be;
provided, that nothing contained in this Section 3.10(a)(v) shall be taken to relieve the
Property Trustee, upon the occurrence of an Enforcement Event, of its obligation to exercise
the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement;



24









 






          (vi) prior to the occurrence of any Enforcement Event and after the curing or waiving
of all Enforcement Events, 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, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other
evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by
a Majority of Trust Securities affected (voting as a single class) but the Property Trustee,
in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters
as it may see fit but shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason
of such inquiry or investigation;




          (vii) the Property Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform
any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, custodians, nominees or
attorneys and the Property Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence
on the part of any agent, custodian, nominee or attorney appointed with due care by it
hereunder;




          (viii) any action taken by the Property Trustee or its agents hereunder shall bind the
Trust and the Holders of the Trust Securities, and the signature of the Property Trustee or
its agents alone shall be sufficient and effective to perform any such action and no third
party shall be required to inquire as to the authority of the Property Trustee to so act or
as to its compliance with any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, both of which
shall be conclusively evidenced by the Property Trustee’s or its agent’s taking such action;




          (ix) whenever in the administration of this 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 written instructions from
the Majority or Other Stated Percentage 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 written instructions are received, and (iii) shall be protected in
conclusively relying on or acting in accordance with such instructions; provided, however,
that the Property Trustee shall not be required to take any action unless it shall have
obtained such legal opinions, if any, required by Section 8.05(g) or Section 8.06(d) hereof,
as the case may be; and



               In the event that the Property Trustee is also acting as Authenticating Agent, Paying
Agent, Transfer Agent and/or Registrar, the rights and protections afforded to the Property
Trustee pursuant to this Article 3 shall also be afforded to such Authenticating Agent,
Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar.





     (b) No provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to impose any duty or obligation on
the Property 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 the Property Trustee shall be unqualified or incompetent in accordance with
applicable law, to perform any such act or acts, or to exercise any such



25









 







right, power, duty or obligation. No permissive power or authority available to the
Property Trustee shall be construed to be a duty.



          Section 3.11. Delaware Trustee. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement other than
Section 6.02 hereof, the Delaware Trustee is appointed to serve as the trustee of the Trust in the
State of Delaware for the sole purpose of satisfying the requirement of Section 3807 (a) of the
Delaware Statutory Trust Act that the Trust have at least one trustee with a principal place of

in the State of Delaware and (b) the execution of any certificates required to be filed with the
Delaware Secretary of State which the Delaware Trustee is required to execute under Section 3811 of
the Delaware Statutory Trust Act. To the extent that, at law or in equity, the Delaware Trustee
has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Trust, the
beneficial owners thereof or any other person, it is hereby understood and agreed by the other
parties hereto that such duties and liabilities are replaced by the duties and liabilities of the
Delaware Trustee expressly set forth in this Agreement. In no event shall the Property
Trustee or the Delaware Trustee be liable for any act or omission of any act of the Regular
Trustees hereunder. The Delaware Trustee will be entitled to the same rights, privileges and
immunities as the Property Trustee is entitled to under Section 3.09 and Section 3.10 of this
Agreement.




          Section 3.12. Execution of Documents. Unless otherwise determined by the Regular Trustees,
and except as otherwise required by the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, any Regular Trustee is
authorized to execute on behalf of the Trust any documents that the Regular Trustees have the power
and authority to cause the Trust to execute pursuant to Section 3.10 hereof.




          Section 3.13. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Trust Securities. The recitals
contained in this Agreement and the Trust Securities shall be taken as the statements of the
Sponsor, and the Trustees do not assume any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustees
make no representations as to the value or condition of the property of the Trust or any part
thereof. The Trustees make no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement
or the Trust Securities.




          Section 3.14. Duration of Trust. The Trust, unless terminated pursuant to the provisions of
Article 9 hereof, shall have perpetual existence.




          Section 3.15. Mergers.





     (a) The Trust may not 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
corporation or other entity, except as described in Section 3.15(b) and (c) hereof.




     (b) The Trust may, with the consent of a majority of the Regular Trustees and without
the consent of the Holders of the Trust Securities, the Property Trustee or the



26









 







Delaware Trustee, consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or be replaced by a
trust organized as such under the laws of any State of the United States, or convey,
transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any corporation
or other entity; provided, that:




          (i) if the Trust is not the survivor, such successor entity (the “Successor Entity”)
either:




     (A) expressly assumes all of the obligations of the Trust to the Holders
of the Trust Securities; or




     (B) substitutes for the Trust Securities other securities having
substantially the same terms as the Trust Securities (the “Successor Trust
Securities”) so long as the Successor Trust Securities rank the same as the
Trust Securities rank with respect to Capital Payments, distributions and
rights upon liquidation, redemption or otherwise;




          (ii) the Company expressly acknowledges a trustee of such Successor Entity possessing
the same powers and duties as the Property Trustee as the holder of the Class B Preferred
Securities;




          (iii) if applicable, the Successor Trust Securities are listed, or any Successor Trust
Securities will be listed upon notification of issuance, on any securities exchange or other
organization on which the Trust Preferred Securities are then listed or quoted, and the
Successor Securities have at least the same rating as the Trust Preferred Securities;




          (iv) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement does not adversely affect
the rights, preferences and privileges or tax treatment of the Holders of the Trust
Preferred Securities (including any Successor Trust Securities) in any material respect;




          (v) such Successor Entity has purposes substantially identical to that of the Trust,




          (vi) such Successor Entity will be classified as a grantor trust for United States
federal income tax purposes;




          (vii) the Guarantor guarantees the obligations of such Successor Entity under the
Successor Trust Securities to the same extent as provided under the Trust Preferred
Guarantee;




          (viii) prior to such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement, the Bank has
received an opinion of a nationally recognized law firm experienced in such matters to the
effect that:




     (A) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement shall not
adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges or tax



27









 







treatment of the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities (including the
Successor Trust Securities) in any material respect;




     (B) following such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement,
neither the Trust nor such Successor Entity shall be required to register under
the 1940 Act;




     (C) following such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement, the
Trust (or such Successor Entity) shall be classified as a grantor trust for
U.S. federal income tax purposes; and




     (D) following such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement, the
Company shall not be classified as an association or a publicly traded
partnership taxable as a corporation for United States federal income tax
purposes; and




     (viii) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement does not otherwise
result in a Trust Special Redemption Event and/or Company Special Redemption Event.




     (c) Notwithstanding Section 3.15(b) hereof, the Trust shall not, except with the
consent of Holders of 100% of the outstanding Trust Preferred Securities (excluding Trust
Preferred Securities held by the Bank and its Affiliates), consolidate, amalgamate, merge
with or into, or be replaced by any other entity or permit any other entity to consolidate,
amalgamate, merge with or into, or replace it, if such consolidation, amalgamation, merger
or replacement would cause the Trust or Successor Entity not to be classified as a grantor
trust for United States federal income tax purposes.



ARTICLE 4

the Guarantor deems necessary or advisable in order to comply with the applicable laws of
any such jurisdictions;




     (b) To prepare for filing by the Trust with the Commission a registration statement on
Form F-3 in relation to the Trust Preferred Securities, Class B Preferred Securities and the

Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending them
against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their
respective powers or duties hereunder. The provisions of this Section 4.02 shall survive the

     (c) The Guarantor, for so long as any of the Trust Securities are outstanding, shall
not permit, or take any action to cause, the dissolution, liquidation, termination or
winding up of the Trust, unless (i) a Trust Special Redemption Event or a Company Special
Redemption Event occurs or (ii) the Company is in liquidation and the approval of any
necessary regulatory authorities to such action has been received.

Section 6.06(a) hereof until a successor Trustee possessing the qualifications to act as
Property Trustee under Section 6.03 hereof (a “Successor Property Trustee”) has been
appointed and has accepted such appointment by written instrument executed by such Successor

such delivery or upon such later date as is specified therein; provided, however, that:




          (i) no such resignation of the Trustee that acts as the Property Trustee shall be

the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee delivers an instrument of resignation in
accordance with this Section 6.06.




     (e) If no Successor Property Trustee or Successor Delaware Trustee shall have been
appointed and accepted appointment as provided in this Section 6.06 within 60 days after
delivery to the Sponsor and the Trust of an instrument of removal or resignation, the
Property Trustee or Delaware Trustee, as applicable, resigning or being removed may

Successor Property Trustee or Successor Delaware Trustee, as the case may be.



33









 






     (f) No Property Trustee or Delaware Trustee shall be liable for the acts or omissions
to act of any Successor Property Trustee or Successor Delaware Trustee, as the case may be.




     (g) Upon termination of this Agreement or removal or resignation of the Property

amounts to which it is entitled to the date of such termination, removal or resignation.



          Section 6.07. Vacancies among Trustees. If a Trustee ceases to hold office for any reason and
the number of Trustees is not reduced pursuant to Section 6.01 hereof, or if the number of Trustees
is increased pursuant to Section 6.01 hereof, a vacancy shall occur. A resolution certifying the
existence of such vacancy by the Regular Trustees or, if there are more than two, a majority of the
Regular Trustees shall be conclusive evidence of the existence of such vacancy. The vacancy shall
be filled with a Trustee appointed in accordance with Section 6.06 hereof.




          Section 6.08. Effect of Vacancies. The death, resignation, retirement, removal, bankruptcy,
dissolution, liquidation, incompetence or incapacity to perform the duties of a Trustee shall not
operate to annul the Trust. Whenever a vacancy in the number of Regular Trustees shall occur,
until such vacancy is filled by the appointment of a Regular Trustee in accordance with Section
6.06 hereof, the Regular Trustees in office, regardless of their number, shall have all the powers
granted to the Regular Trustees and shall discharge all the duties imposed upon the Regular
Trustees by this Agreement.




          Section 6.09. Meetings. If there is more than one Regular Trustee, meetings of the Regular
Trustees shall be held from time to time upon the call of any Regular Trustee. Regular meetings of

Notice of any in-person meetings of the Regular Trustees shall be hand delivered or otherwise
delivered in writing (including by facsimile, with a hard copy by overnight courier) not
less than 48 hours before such meeting. Notice of any telephonic meetings of the Regular Trustees
or any committee thereof shall be hand delivered or otherwise delivered in writing (including by
facsimile, with a hard copy by overnight courier) not less than 24 hours before a meeting. Notices
shall contain a brief statement of the time, place and anticipated purposes of the meeting. The
presence (whether in person or by telephone) of a Regular Trustee at a meeting shall constitute a
waiver of notice of such meeting except where a Regular Trustee attends a meeting for the express
purpose of objecting to the transaction of any activity on the ground that the meeting has not been
lawfully called or convened. Unless provided otherwise in this Agreement, any action of the
Regular Trustees may be taken at a meeting by vote of a majority of the Regular Trustees present
(whether in person or by telephone) and eligible to vote with respect to such matter, provided that
a Quorum is present, or without a meeting by the unanimous written consent of the Regular Trustees.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any and all actions of the Regular Trustees may be taken by the
unanimous written consent of all Regular Trustees.




34









 








          Section 6.10. Delegation of Power.





     (a) Any Regular Trustee may, by power of attorney consistent with applicable law,
delegate to any other natural person over the age of 21, his or her power for the purpose of
executing any documents contemplated in Section 3.06 hereof including any registration
statement or amendment thereto filed with the Commission or making any other government
filing; and




     (b) The Regular Trustees shall have power to delegate from time to time to such of
their number or to officers of the Trust the doing of such things and the execution of such
instruments either in the name of the Trust or the names of the Regular Trustees or
otherwise as the Regular Trustees may deem expedient, to the extent such delegation is not
prohibited by applicable law or contrary to the provisions of the Trust, as set forth
herein.



          Section 6.11. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any corporation
into which the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, may be merged or
converted or with which either may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may
be, shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate
trust business of the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, shall be the
successor hereunder of the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be; provided,
that such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article 6, without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, other
than any such filing as may be required under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act.




ARTICLE 7

CAPITAL PAYMENTS




          Section 7.01. Capital Payments.





     (a) Capital Payments on the Trust Preferred Securities shall be due and payable to the
extent Capital Payments on the Class B Preferred Securities have been declared and paid (or
have been deemed declared, even if the deemed declared Capital Payments on the Class B
Preferred Securities were not authorized to be paid due to a lack of Operating Profits at
the Company). Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities shall be entitled to receive due
and payable Capital Payments in cash on the Trust Preferred Securities held by them, on a
non-cumulative basis, payable quarterly in arrears on each Payment Date. Capital Payments on
the Trust Preferred Securities payable on each Payment Date shall accrue for the related
Payment Period.




     (b) For each Payment Period, Capital Payments shall accrue on the Liquidation
Preference Amount of each Trust Preferred Security at a fixed rate per annum equal to the
Stated Rate, calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.



35









 






     (c) If any Payment Date or redemption date falls on a day that is not a Business Day,
the amounts payable on such Payment Date or redemption date will be paid on the next
succeeding Business Day, without adjustment, interest or further payment as a result of such
delay in payment.




     (d) Capital Payments and other distributions on the Trust Preferred Securities shall be
paid out of, and amounts available to the Trust for such payments shall be limited to,
amounts received by the Trust from the Company with respect to the Class B Preferred
Securities pursuant to the provisions of the LLC Agreement and from the Guarantor pursuant
to the Class B Preferred Guarantee or the Trust Preferred Guarantee (including payments by
the Guarantor under the Trust Preferred Guarantee to fund Capital Payments on the Trust
Preferred Securities in the event of non-payment of deemed declared Capital Payments on the
Class B Preferred Securities due to a lack of Operating Profits at the Company).




     (e) Each Capital Payment shall be payable to the Holders of record as they appear on
the Register on the corresponding record date. The record dates for the Trust Preferred
Securities shall be (A) for Global Trust Preferred Certificates, the end of the Business Day
immediately preceding the relevant Payment Date and (B) for Definitive Trust Preferred
Certificates, the end of business of the 15th Business Day prior to the relevant
Payment Date.




     (f) If and to the extent that the Company makes a distribution on the Class B Preferred
Securities held by the Property Trustee or the Guarantor makes a payment under the Class B
Preferred Guarantee (the amount of any such distribution or payment being a “Payment
Amount”), the Holder of the Trust Common Security shall be entitled to receive a pro rata
portion of such Payment Amount if, as and when funds are held by the Property Trustee in a
Property Account; provided, however, upon the liquidation of the Trust and during the
continuance of a default under the Initial Obligation or the Substitute Obligations or a
failure by the Guarantor to perform any obligation under the Guarantees, holders of the
Trust Preferred Securities will have a preference over the holder of the Trust Common
Security with respect to payments of Capital Payments and other distributions and amounts
upon redemption or liquidation of the Trust.




     (g) The payment of Capital Payments on the Trust Preferred Securities and any amount
payable in liquidation or upon redemption thereof, shall be made without deduction or
withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties or governmental charges
of any nature whatsoever imposed, levied or collected by or on behalf of the United States
or Germany (or any jurisdiction from which payments are made) or, during any period in which
any Substitute Obligations are outstanding, the jurisdiction of residence of any obligor on
such Substitute Obligations (or any jurisdiction from which payments are made) (each, a
“Relevant Jurisdiction”) or by or on behalf of any political subdivision or authority
therein or thereof having the power to tax (collectively, “Withholding Taxes”), unless such
deduction or withholding is required by law. In such event, the Trust will pay, as
additional Capital Payments, such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) to the Holders
of the Trust Preferred Securities as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received
by the Holders of



36









 







the Trust Preferred Securities after such deduction or withholding for or on account of
Withholding Taxes shall equal the amounts that otherwise would have been received in respect
of the Trust Preferred Securities had no such deduction or withholding been required;
provided, however, that no such Additional Amounts shall be payable in
respect of the Trust Preferred Securities:




          (i) if and to the extent that the Company is unable to pay corresponding amounts in
respect of the Class B Preferred Securities because such payment would exceed the
Distributable Profits of the Bank for the preceding fiscal year (after subtracting from such
Distributable Profits the aggregate amount of the Capital Payments on the Class B Preferred
Securities to which such Additional Amounts relates and Capital Payments on the Class B
Preferred Securities theretofore paid and capital payments or dividend or other
distributions payable on Preferred Tier 1 Securities, if any, pro rata on the basis of such
Distributable Profits);




          (ii) with respect to any Withholding Taxes that are payable by reason of a Holder or
beneficial owner of the Trust Preferred Securities having some connection with any Relevant
Jurisdiction other than by reason only of the mere holding or beneficial ownership of the
Trust Preferred Securities;




          (iii) with respect to any Withholding Taxes which are deducted or withheld pursuant to
(A) European Council Directive 2003/48/EC or any other European Union Directive or
Regulation implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of 26-27 November 2000
on the taxation of savings income, or (B) any international treaty or understanding entered
into for the purpose of facilitating cooperation in the reporting and collection of savings
income and to which (x) the United States, and (y) the European Union or Germany is a party,
or (C) any provision of law implementing, or complying with, or introduced to conform with,
such Directive, Regulation, treaty or understanding; or




          (iv) to the extent such deduction or withholding can be avoided or reduced if the
Holder or beneficial owner of the Trust Preferred Securities makes a declaration of
non-residence or other similar claim for exemption to the relevant tax authority or complies
with any reasonable certification, documentation, information or other reporting requirement
imposed by the relevant tax authority; provided, however, that the exclusion
set forth in this clause (iv) shall not apply if the certification, information
documentation or other reporting requirement would be materially more onerous, in form (in
form, procedure or substance of information required to be disclosed) to the Holder or
beneficial owner of Trust Preferred Securities than comparable information or other
reporting requirements imposed under U.S. tax law, regulation and administrative practice
(such as IRS Forms W-8 and W-9).

ARTICLE 8

ISSUANCE OF TRUST SECURITIES




          Section 8.01. Designation and General Provisions Regarding Trust Securities.





     (a) The Regular Trustees shall on behalf of the Trust issue one class of preferred
securities representing preferred undivided beneficial ownership interests in the Trust
Estate and one class of common securities representing undivided beneficial ownership
interests in the Trust Estate as follows:




          (i) Trust Preferred Securities. There is hereby designated as one class of preferred
securities the noncumulative Trust Preferred Securities (the “Trust Preferred Securities”).
The Trust Preferred Securities shall be issued in minimum denomination of a liquidation
preference amount of U.S.$25 per Trust Preferred Security (the “Liquidation Preference
Amount”) or greater integral multiples thereof. The Trust Preferred Securities shall be
issued with an aggregate Liquidation Preference Amount of U.S.$700,000,000. The
Global Trust Preferred Certificates evidencing the Trust Preferred Securities shall be
substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 to this Agreement, with such changes and
additions thereto or deletions therefrom or in any other manner as is reasonably acceptable
to the Regular Trustees (as evidenced by their execution thereof), and may have such
letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such legends and
endorsements as the Regular Trustee may deem appropriate, or as may be required by ordinary
usage, custom or practice or as may be requested to comply with any law or to conform to the
rules of any stock exchange on which the Trust Preferred Securities are listed.




          (ii) Trust Common Security. There is hereby designated as one class of common
securities the noncumulative Trust Common Security (the “Trust Common Security” and,
together with the Trust Preferred Securities, the “Trust Securities”). The Trust Common
Security shall be issued with an aggregate liquidation amount of U.S.$25. The Trust Common
Security Certificate evidencing the Trust Common Security shall be substantially in the form
of Exhibit B to this Agreement, with such changes and additions thereto or deletions
therefrom, or in any other manner as is reasonably acceptable to the Regular Trustees (as
evidenced by their execution thereof), and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of
identification or designation and such legends and endorsements as the Regular Trustee may
deem appropriate, or as may be required by ordinary usage, custom or practice or as may be
requested to comply with any law.




     (b) The Trust shall issue no securities or other interests in the Trust Estate of the
Trust other than the Trust Preferred Securities and the Trust Common Security.




     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will in connection with the exercise of the
underwriters’ over-allotment option provided in the Purchase Agreement on or before November
22, 2007, without the consent of the Trust as the holders of the Class B Preferred
Securities, issue additional Class B Preferred Securities having the same terms as the Class
B Preferred Securities in all respects except for any deviations required for compliance
with applicable law, so as to form a single series with the Class B



38









 







Preferred Securities. In such circumstances, and without consent of the holders of the
Trust Preferred Securities, the Trust will issue additional Trust Preferred Securities
having the same terms and conditions as the Trust Preferred Securities in all respects
except for any deviations required for compliance with applicable law, so as to form a
single series with the Trust Preferred Securities, in consideration for the receipt of such
additional Class B Preferred Securities equal to the aggregate liquidation preference amount
of such additional Trust Preferred Securities.




     (c) Each of the Trust Securities shall be signed by a Regular Trustee for the Trust by
manual or facsimile signature. No Trust Security shall be valid or obligatory for any
purposes or entitled to any benefit under this Agreement until authenticated by the manual
signature of an Authorized Officer of the Property Trustee. Such signature shall be
conclusive evidence that the Trust Security has been authenticated and delivered under this
Agreement and entitled to its benefits. All Trust Securities shall be dated the date of
their execution. Trust Securities bearing signatures of individuals who were, at the time
when such signatures shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trust or
authenticate on behalf of the Property Trustee, as applicable shall be validly issued
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so authorized
prior to the delivery of such Trust Securities. Upon a written order of the Trust, signed by
at least one Regular Trustee, directing the Property Trustee to authenticate and deliver
Trust Securities, the Property Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Trust Securities
for original issue.




     The Property Trustee is authorized to enter into the agency agreement (the “Agency
Agreement") dated the date hereof with the Bank, the Paying Agent, the Company and the
Trust, and is authorized to appoint as Authenticating Agent the Paying Agent or another
agent acceptable to the Trust to authenticate the Trust Preferred Securities. An
Authenticating Agent may authenticate Trust Preferred Securities whenever the Property
Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Agreement to authentication by the Property
Trustee includes authentication by such Authenticating Agent. An Authenticating Agent has
the same rights as the Property Trustee to transact with the Sponsor or any Affiliate of the
Sponsor. Pursuant to the Agency Agreement, the initial Authenticating Agent shall be
Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas.




     (d) The consideration received by the Trust for the issuance of the Trust Securities
shall constitute a contribution to the capital of the Trust and shall not constitute a loan
to the Trust.




     (e) Upon issuance of the Trust Securities as provided in this Agreement, the Trust
Securities so issued shall be deemed to be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable,
subject to Section 11.01 hereof with respect to the Trust Common Security.




     (f) Every Person, by virtue of having become a Holder of a Trust Preferred Security in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall be deemed to have expressly assented and
agreed to the terms of, and shall be bound by, this Agreement.



39









 





          Section 8.02. Priority of Payments on Trust Securities. Payment of Capital Payments on, and
other distributions and amounts on redemption of the Trust Securities or liquidation of the Trust
shall be made pro rata among the Trust Common Security and the Trust Preferred Securities based on
the Liquidation Preference Amount and the liquidation amount thereof; provided, however, that upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of a failure to pay interest or additional interest
amounts, if any, under the Initial Obligation or the Substitute Obligations or a failure by the
Bank to perform any obligation under the Trust Preferred Guarantee or the Class B Preferred
Guarantee, no payment of Capital Payments or any other distributions of amounts, including upon
redemption or liquidation of the Trust will be made to the holder of the Trust Common Security,
unless payment in full in cash of all accumulated and unpaid Capital Payments on and amounts on
redemption of, the Trust Preferred Securities have been made or provided for.




          Section 8.03. Redemption of Trust Securities.





     (a) Except as set forth in Section 8.02, upon a purchase of the Class B Preferred
Securities by the Company upon redemption or otherwise, the proceeds from such purchase
shall be simultaneously applied to redeem the Trust Securities for an amount equal to
U.S.$25 per Trust Preferred Security and an amount equal to U.S.$25 per Trust Common
Security, plus Additional Amounts, if any, plus any accumulated and unpaid Capital Payments
in respect of the then current Payment Period to but excluding the date of redemption (the
“Redemption Price”). In the event that payment of the Redemption Price in respect of any
Trust Securities is improperly withheld or refused and not paid, Capital Payments on such
Trust Securities shall continue to accrue at the Stated Rate from the designated Redemption
Date to the date of actual payment of the Redemption Price, in which case the actual payment
date shall be considered the Redemption Date for purposes of calculating the Redemption
Price. The Property Trustee shall give prompt notice to the Holders of the Trust Preferred
Securities of the Company’s intention to redeem the Class B Preferred Securities.




     (b) If, at any time, a Trust Special Redemption Event shall occur and be continuing,
the Regular Trustees shall, within 90 days following the occurrence of such Trust Special
Redemption Event, after consultation with DTC, the Paying Agent and the Property Trustee
dissolve the Trust upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice to the Holders of the
Trust Securities, with the result that, after satisfaction of the claims of creditors of the
Trust, if any, Class B Preferred Securities would be distributed on a pro rata basis to the
Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities and the Holder of the Trust Common Security in
liquidation of such Holders’ interest in the Trust; provided, however, that, if, at such
time, the Trust has the opportunity to eliminate, within such 90-day period, the Trust
Special Redemption Event by taking some Ministerial Action, then the Trust shall pursue such
measure in lieu of dissolution.




     (c) If the Class B Preferred Securities are distributed to the Holders of the Trust
Preferred Securities, the Bank shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such
Class B Preferred Securities to be eligible for clearing and settlement through DTC or a
successor clearing agent and to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange or such other



40









 







securities exchange or similar organization as the Trust Preferred Securities are then
listed or quoted.




     (d) On the date fixed for any distribution of Class B Preferred Securities, upon
dissolution of the Trust, (i) the Trust Securities shall be deemed to be redeemed and no
longer be deemed to be outstanding and (ii) certificates representing Trust Securities shall
be deemed to represent the Class B Preferred Securities having an aggregate liquidation
preference amount equal to the Liquidation Preference Amount of, and bearing accumulated and
unpaid Capital Payments equal to accumulated and unpaid Capital Payments on, such Trust
Securities until such certificates are presented to the Company or its agent for transfer or
reissuance.




     (e) Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Trust Securities shall not be
redeemable at any time at the option of the Holders of the Trust Securities.




     (f) Any Trust Securities that are redeemed shall be canceled, and not reissued,
following their redemption.




     (g) No vote or consent of the Holders of any Trust Securities shall be required for the
Trust to redeem and cancel any Trust Securities or distribute Class B Preferred Securities
in accordance with this Agreement and the terms of the Trust Securities.



          Section 8.04. Redemption Procedures.





     (a) Redemption Notice. An irrevocable notice of redemption (including, if applicable,
an irrevocable notice of distribution of Class B Preferred Securities) of the Trust
Securities (a “Redemption Notice”) shall be given by the Trust in the manner set forth in
Section 15.01 hereof to each Holder of Trust Securities to be redeemed not fewer than 30 nor
more than 60 calendar days before the proposed Redemption Date (which, in the case of a
redemption of the Class B Preferred Securities, shall be the same as the Class B Redemption
Date) or such other time period or in such manner as may be required by the relevant
regulatory authorities. A Redemption Notice shall be deemed to be given on the day such
notice is first delivered, telecopied or mailed by first-class mail, registered or certified
postage prepaid, to Holders of the Trust Securities. Each Redemption Notice shall be
addressed to the Holders of the Trust Securities at the address of each such Holder
appearing in the Register. No defect in the Redemption Notice or in the delivery thereof
with respect to any Holder shall affect the validity of the redemption or exchange
proceedings with respect to any other Holder.




     (b) Payment of Redemption Price. Except in the case of a distribution of the Class B
Preferred Securities to the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities, and provided the
Company or the Guarantor has paid to the Property Trustee a sufficient amount of cash in
connection with the related redemption of Class B Preferred Securities, then by 9:00 a.m.,
New York City time, on the Redemption Date, the Property Trustee shall (i) with respect to
Global Trust Preferred Certificates, irrevocably deposit with DTC funds sufficient to pay
the applicable Redemption Price thereon together with irrevocable instructions to DTC to
make such payment or (ii) with respect to Definitive Trust Preferred Certificates,



41









 







irrevocably deposit with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to pay the applicable
Redemption Price thereon, together with irrevocable instructions to the Paying Agent to make
such payment by check mailed to the relevant Holder (at its address in the Register on the
Redemption Date) upon surrender of its Definitive Trust Preferred Certificates.




     (c) Upon satisfaction of the foregoing conditions, all rights of Holders of such Trust
Securities so called for redemption shall cease on the Redemption Date, except the right of
the Holders of such Trust Securities to receive the applicable Redemption Price (without
interest thereon from and after the Redemption Date) or distribution of Class B Preferred
Securities with the applicable liquidation preference amount.



          If any Redemption Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, payment of all amounts
otherwise payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, without
adjustment, interest or further payment as a result of such delay in payment.

          Section 8.05. Voting Rights of Trust Preferred Securities.





     (a) Except as shall be otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or the LLC
Agreement or as otherwise required by the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, the Trust Indenture
Act or other applicable law, the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities shall have no
right or power to vote on any question or matter or in any proceeding or to be presented at,
or to receive notice of, any meeting of Holders of Trust Securities.




     (b) Notwithstanding that Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities are entitled to vote
or consent under certain circumstances described in this Agreement, any of the Trust
Preferred Securities that are beneficially owned by the Bank, or any of its Subsidiaries or
Affiliates, either directly or indirectly, shall not, in such case, be entitled to vote or
consent and shall, for purposes of such vote or consent, be treated as if such Trust
Preferred Securities were not outstanding, except for the Trust Preferred Securities
purchased or acquired by the Bank or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates in connection with
transactions effected by or for the account of customers of the Bank or any of its
Subsidiaries or Affiliates or in connection with the distribution or trading of or
market-making in connection with such Trust Preferred Securities in the ordinary course of
business; provided, however, that Persons (other than Subsidiaries or Affiliates of the
Bank) to whom the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates have pledged Trust Preferred
Securities may vote or consent with respect to such pledged Trust Preferred Securities
pursuant to the terms of such pledge.




     (c) Subject to the requirement of the Property Trustee obtaining a tax opinion in
certain circumstances set forth in Section 8.05(g) hereof, the Holders of a Majority of the
Trust Preferred Securities have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting
any proceeding for any remedy available to the Property Trustee, or direct the



42









 







exercise of any trust or power conferred upon the Property Trustee under this
Agreement, including the right to direct the Property Trustee, as Holder of the Class B
Preferred Securities, to (i) exercise the remedies available to it under the LLC Agreement
as a Holder of the Class B Preferred Securities or (ii) consent to any amendment,
modification, or termination of the LLC Agreement or the Class B Preferred Securities where
such consent shall be required; provided, however, that where a consent or action under the
LLC Agreement would require the consent or action of the Holders of more than 50% of the
Class B Preferred Securities affected thereby, only the Holders of at least the same
percentage of the Trust Preferred Securities may direct the Property Trustee to give such
consent or take such action on behalf of the Trust.




     (d) If the Property Trustee fails to enforce its rights under the Class B Preferred
Securities after a Holder of Trust Preferred Securities has made a written request, such
Holder of Trust Preferred Securities may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
institute a legal proceeding directly against the Company to enforce the Property Trustee’s
rights under the Class B Preferred Securities without first instituting any legal proceeding
against the Property Trustee, the Trust or any other person or entity.




     (e) Nothing in this Agreement shall affect the right of a Holder of Trust Preferred
Securities, if the Trust has failed to pay the Redemption Price with respect to Trust
Preferred Securities duly called for redemption, any Capital Payments, including Additional
Amounts, if applicable, that are due and owing, to directly institute a proceeding in such
Holder’s own name against the Trust for enforcement of the Trust’s obligation to make such
payment or against the Guarantor for enforcement of the Trust Preferred Guarantee.




     (f) In the event the consent of the Property Trustee, as the holder of the Class B
Preferred Securities, is required under the LLC Agreement with respect to any amendment,
modification or termination of the LLC Agreement, the Property Trustee shall request the
direction of the Holders of the Trust Securities with respect to such amendment,
modification or termination and shall vote with respect to such amendment, modification or
termination as directed by a Majority of the Trust Securities voting together as a single
class; provided, however, that where a consent under the LLC Agreement would require the
consent of the holders of more than 50% of the Class B Preferred Securities, the Property
Trustee may only give such consent at the direction of the Holders of at least the same
stated percentage of the Trust Securities.




     (g) The Property Trustee shall be under no obligation to take any of the actions
described in Section 8.05(c)(i) or (ii) above unless the Property Trustee has obtained an
opinion of independent tax counsel to the effect that following such action, the Trust will
be classified as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes and each
Holder of the Trust Securities will be treated as owning an undivided beneficial ownership
interest in the Trust Estate.




     (h) Any required vote of Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities may be given at a
separate meeting of Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities convened for such purpose, at
a meeting of all of the Holders of the Trust Securities or pursuant to a written



43









 







consent. The Regular Trustees shall cause a notice of any meeting at which Holders of
the Trust Preferred Securities are entitled to vote, or of any matter upon which action may
be taken by written consent of such Holders, to be given to the Holders of the Trust
Preferred Securities in the manner set forth in Section 15.01 hereof. Each such notice
shall include a statement setting forth the following information: (i) the date of such
meeting or the date by which such action is to be taken, (ii) a description of any
resolution proposed for adoption at such meeting on which such Holders are entitled to vote
or of such matter upon which written consent is sought and (iii) instructions for the
delivery of proxies or consents.

waived by the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities by written notice to the Property
Trustee and in accordance with applicable laws.



          Section 8.06. Voting Rights of the Trust Common Security.





     (a) Except as shall be otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or in the LLC
Agreement or as otherwise required by the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, the Trust Indenture
Act or other applicable law, the Holder of the Trust Common Security shall have no right or
power to vote on any question or matter or in any proceeding or to be presented at, or to
receive notice of, any meeting of Holders of Trust Preferred Securities. The Holder of the
Trust Common Security is entitled, subject to Article 6 hereof, to vote to appoint, remove
or replace any Trustee or to increase or decrease the number of Trustees.




     (b) Only after all Enforcement Events have been cured, waived, or otherwise eliminated
and subject to the requirement of the Property Trustee obtaining a tax opinion in certain
circumstances pursuant to Section 8.06(c), the Holder of the Trust Common Security has the
right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Property Trustee, or direct the exercise of any trust or power conferred
upon the Property Trustee under this Agreement, including the right to direct the Property
Trustee, as holder of the Class B Preferred Security, to (i) exercise the remedies available
to it under the LLC Agreement as a holder of the Class B Preferred Securities (with regard
to the Class B Preferred Securities relating to the Trust Common Security) or (ii) consent
to any amendment, modification, or termination of the LLC Agreement or the Class B Preferred
Securities (with regard to the Class B Preferred Securities relating to the Trust Common
Security) where such consent shall be required.




     (c) The Property Trustee shall be under no obligation to take any of the actions
described in Section 8.06(b)(i) and (ii) above unless the Property Trustee has obtained an
opinion of independent tax counsel to the effect that, following such action, the Trust will
be classified as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes and each
Holder of the Trust Securities will be treated as owning an undivided beneficial ownership
interest in the Trust Estate.




     (d) If the Property Trustee fails to enforce its rights under the Class B Preferred
Securities after a Holder of the Trust Common Security has made a written request, such



44









 







Holder of the Trust Common Security may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, institute a legal proceeding directly against the Company, to enforce the Property
Trustee’s rights under the Class B Preferred Securities without first instituting any legal
proceeding against the Property Trustee or any other person or entity.




     (e) The voting rights provided pursuant to this Section 8.06 and applicable laws may be
waived by the Holder of the Trust Common Security by written notice to the Property Trustee
and in accordance with the applicable laws.



          Section 8.07. Paying Agent. The Trust shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New
York, State of New York, an office or agency where the Trust Preferred Securities may be presented
for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Regular Trustees may appoint the Paying Agent and may appoint
one or more additional paying agents in such other locations as they shall determine. The term
“Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. Any Paying Agent shall comply with Section
317(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. The Trust may remove any Paying Agent or appoint a successor or
additional Paying Agent on not less than 30 days’ notice to the Holders of the Trust Securities.
The Trust shall notify the Property Trustee of the name and address of any Paying Agent not a party
to this Agreement. If the Trust fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Paying Agent, the
Property Trustee shall act as such. The Trust or any of its Affiliates may act as Paying Agent.
Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas shall initially act as Paying Agent for the Trust Preferred
Securities and the Trust Common Security. Any Paying Agent may resign as Paying Agent upon 30
days’ written notice to the Regular Trustees.




          Section 8.08. Listing. The Bank shall use its best efforts to cause the Trust Preferred
Securities to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange.




          Section 8.09. Acceptance of Guarantees and Agreements. Each Holder and beneficial owner of the
Trust Preferred Securities, by purchase and holding of its Trust Preferred Securities, is deemed
(i) to agree to the provisions of the Trust Preferred Guarantee, including the subordination
provisions therein, and (ii) to represent and warrant that on each day that it holds Trust
Preferred Securities (or Class B Preferred Securities) either (A) it is not itself, and is not
acquiring any Trust Preferred Securities (or Class B Preferred Securities) with “plan assets” of an
employee benefit plan or other plan subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA, or
Section 4975 of the Code, a governmental plan which is subject to any federal, state or local law
that is substantially similar to such provisions of ERISA or the Code (“Similar Law") or an entity
whose underlying assets include “plan assets” by reason of any such plan’s investment in the entity
or (B) the purchase, holding and redemption of any Trust Preferred Securities (or Class B Preferred
Securities) is exempt by reason of Section 408 (b) (17) of
ERISA, Section 4975(D)(20) of the Code or U.S. Department of Labor
prohibited transaction class exemption (“PTCE”) 96-23 (for certain transactions determined by

accounts), PTCE 91-38 (for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds), PTCE
90-1 (for certain transactions involving insurance company separate accounts), or PTCE 84-14 (for

been distributed to the Holders of the Trust Securities or (y) the Class B Preferred
Securities have been distributed to the Holders of the Trust Securities pursuant to Section

such Holder of the exchanged Trust Common Security will execute and deliver any additional
instruments necessary or appropriate to enforce subordination in favor of such other Holders of the

ARTICLE 10

TRANSFER OF INTERESTS




          Section 10.01. Form and Denomination of Trust Preferred Securities





     (a) The Trust Preferred Securities shall be issued in the form of one or more fully
registered Global Trust Preferred Certificates, in minimum denomination of U.S.$25 in

Preferred Certificate or the Trust Preferred Security represented thereby, and beneficial
owners of such Global Trust Preferred Certificates will only be able to exercise the rights
of the Holders of Trust Preferred Securities indirectly through DTC and its participants and
shall be subject to any agreements between the beneficial owners and DTC and/or its
participants.




     (c) All of the Trust Preferred Securities issued in accordance with this Agreement
shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable interests in the Trust and shall be
entitled to the benefits of this Agreement.



          Section 10.02. Deemed Security Holders. The Trustees may treat the Person in whose name any
Global Trust Preferred Certificate or the Trust Common Security shall be registered in the Register
as the sole Holder of such Global Trust Preferred Certificate or Trust Common Security, as
applicable, and of the securities represented thereby for purposes of receiving Capital Payments
and for all other purposes whatsoever and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any
equitable or other claim to or interest in such Global Trust Preferred Certificate or Trust Common
Security or in the securities represented thereby on the part of any Person, whether or not the
Trust shall have actual or other notice thereof.




47









 








          Section 10.03. Global Trust Preferred Certificates. Unless and until Definitive Trust
Preferred Certificates have been issued to the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities pursuant
to Section 10.06:





     (a) the provisions of this Section 10.03 shall be in full force and effect and to the
extent that the provisions of this Section 10.03 conflict with any other provisions of this
Agreement, the provisions of this Section 10.03 shall control;




     (b) the Trust and the Trustees shall be entitled to deal with DTC as the sole Holder of
the Global Trust Preferred Certificates for all purposes of this Agreement (including the
payment of Capital Payments on the Global Trust Preferred Certificates and exercising the
rights of the Holders of Trust Preferred Securities under this Agreement, and receiving
approvals, votes or consents hereunder) and shall have no obligation to the beneficial
owners of the Trust Preferred Securities;




     (c) the rights of the beneficial owners of the Global Trust Preferred Certificates
shall be exercised only through DTC as Holder of the Global Trust Preferred Certificates and
its participants and shall be subject to any agreement between such beneficial owners and
DTC and/or its participants;




     (d) all Capital Payments and any other payments due on account of or with respect to
the Global Trust Preferred Certificate shall be made to DTC as provided herein and neither
the Trust nor any Trustee nor any agent of any of them shall have any responsibility or
liability for the disbursement of such payments by DTC or any participant to beneficial
owners of Global Trust Preferred Certificates;




     (e) transfers of beneficial ownership of such Global Trust Preferred Certificates shall
be made on the books and records of DTC and/or its participants;




     (f) solely for the purposes of determining whether the Holders of the requisite amount
of Trust Preferred Securities have voted on any matter provided for in this Agreement, so
long as Definitive Trust Preferred Certificates have not been issued, the Trustees may
conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, any written instrument
(including a proxy) delivered to the Trustees by DTC setting forth the beneficial owners of
the Trust Preferred Securities votes or assigning the right to vote on any matter to any
other Person either in whole or in part; and




     (g) notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, a Global Trust Preferred
Certificate may not be transferred except by DTC in whole and not in part to its successor
as a Clearing Agency or to a nominee or depositary of either thereof.



          Section 10.04. Notices to Clearing Agency. Whenever a notice or other communication to the
Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities is required under this Agreement, unless and until
Definitive Trust Preferred Certificates shall have been issued pursuant to Section 10.06 hereof,
the Regular Trustees shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to
DTC as the registered Holder of the Trust Preferred Securities, and shall have no notice
obligations to the beneficial owners of the Global Trust Preferred Certificate.




48









 








          Section 10.05. Appointment of Successor Clearing Agency. If DTC elects to discontinue its
services as clearing agency with respect to the Trust Preferred Securities, the Regular Trustees
shall use their best efforts to appoint a successor to DTC as a Clearing Agency with respect to
such Trust Preferred Securities.




          Section 10.06. Definitive Trust Preferred Certificates. If DTC notifies the Trust that it is
unwilling or unable to continue its services as depositary for the Trust Preferred Securities or
ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act and a successor depositary or
clearing agency is not appointed within 90 days after such discontinuance pursuant to Section
10.05, or if the Trust determines in its sole discretion that the Global Trust Preferred
Certificate shall be exchangeable for Definitive Trust Preferred Certificates then:





          (i) Definitive Trust Preferred Certificates shall be prepared by the Property Trustee
on behalf of the Trust with respect to the Trust Preferred Securities; and




          (ii) upon surrender of each Global Trust Preferred Certificate by DTC, accompanied by
registration instructions, the Property Trustee shall cause Definitive Trust Preferred
Certificates to be delivered to those Persons who were beneficial owners of the Trust
Preferred Securities represented by a Global Trust Preferred Certificate, in accordance with
the instructions of DTC. Neither the Trustees nor the Trust shall be liable for any delay
in delivery of such instructions and each of them may conclusively rely on and shall be
protected in relying on, said instructions of DTC. Any Person receiving a Definitive Trust
Preferred Certificate in accordance with this Section 10.06 shall be recognized as a Holder
upon receipt of such Definitive Trust Preferred Certificate and shall be registered in the
Register of the Trust as a Holder of Trust Preferred Securities; and




          (iii) any Capital Payments or other payments due on Definitive Trust Preferred
Certificates will be made by wire transfer or by check mailed to the address of the Holder
as it appears on the Register on the relevant record date. The final payment on any
Definitive Trust Preferred Certificates, however, will be made only upon presentation, and
surrender thereof at the office of the Paying Agent on a Business Day. Subject to
applicable escheat laws, claims to Capital Payments on Definitive Trust Preferred
Certificates, or amounts payable upon redemption, will become void unless presented for
payment within a period of (i) with respect to Capital Payments, four years from the
relevant Payment Date, or (ii) with respect to amounts payable upon redemption, ten years
from the Redemption Date.



          Section 10.07. Registration of Trust Securities.




     The Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept a register for the Trust Securities issued
hereunder (herein called the “Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, the Registrar shall provide for the registration of Trust Securities and of transfers
and exchanges of Trust Securities as herein provided. The Register shall be in written form or
capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. The Registrar shall record
on the Register each Trust Security executed and delivered pursuant to this Agreement.



49









 





          Section 10.08. Transfer and Exchanges of Trust Securities.





     (a) Trust Securities may only be transferred, in whole or in part, in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement and of the Trust Securities. Any transfer or purported transfer
of any Trust Security not made in accordance with this Agreement shall be null and void.




     (b) Subject to this Article 10 (and, in the case of the Trust Common Security, subject
to Section 4.03(a)), Trust Securities shall be freely transferable.




     (c) The Trustees and the Registrar shall not be required to issue, register the
transfer of, or exchange any Trust Security from and after the opening of business 15 days
before the Redemption Date.




     (d) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of a
Trust Security, but the Trustees or the 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 a Trust Security.




     (e) Title to any Trust Security that is properly endorsed or accompanied by a properly
executed instrument of transfer or endorsement shall be transferable by delivery with the
same effect as in the case of a negotiable instrument.




     (f) Certificates may be transferred upon surrender thereof by the Holder in person or
by a duly authorized attorney, properly endorsed or accompanied by a properly endorsed
instrument of transfer or endorsement, together with evidence of the payment of any transfer
taxes or government charges that may be imposed in relation to such transfer. Upon surrender
for registration of transfer of a Certificate, the Regular Trustees and the Property Trustee
shall cause one or more new Certificates to be executed and authenticated pursuant to the
applicable provisions of this Agreement in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees. Global Trust Preferred Certificates and the Trust Common Security may only be
transferred in whole but not in part. Definitive Trust Preferred Certificates may be
transferred in whole or in part subject to the applicable minimum denomination requirements
under this Agreement. If only part of Definitive Trust Preferred Certificates is
transferred, a new Definitive Trust Preferred Certificate shall be issued to the transferor
within three Business Days after the Registrar receives the Definitive Trust Preferred
Certificate. The new Definitive Trust Preferred Certificate representing the Trust Preferred
Securities that were not transferred shall be delivered to the transferor by uninsured mail
at the risk of the transferor, to the address of the transferor in the Register. The new
Definitive Trust Preferred Securities Certificate representing the Trust Preferred
Securities that were transferred shall be sent to the transferee within three Business Days
after the Trust receives the surrendered Definitive Trust Preferred Securities Certificate
by uninsured mail at the risk of the transferee, to the address specified on the form of
transfer.




     (g) At the option of the Holder, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates
in no less than the applicable minimum denominations in a like aggregate



50









 







Liquidation Preference Amount or liquidation amount, as applicable. Upon surrender for
registration of exchange of a Certificate, subject to the conditions to transfer set forth
in this Agreement, the Regular Trustees and the Property Trustee shall execute, authenticate
and deliver pursuant to the applicable provisions of this Agreement, a new Certificate of
like aggregate Liquidation Preference Amount or liquidation amount, as applicable, as the
Certificate surrendered for exchange.




     (h) As a condition precedent to the registration of the transfer or exchange of any
Trust Security, the Registrar may require (i) production of proof satisfactory to it as to
the identity and genuineness of any signature, (ii) compliance with such regulations, if
any, as the Trustee or the Registrar may establish not inconsistent with the provisions of
this Agreement and (iii) such other information as the Registrar may reasonably request.




     (i) Each Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be
cancelled by the Property Trustee. Except as prohibited by applicable law or regulation, the
Property Trustee or the Registrar may destroy such cancelled Certificate or otherwise
dispose of it in accordance with its usual practices.




     (j) By acceptance of a Certificate, each transferee shall be deemed to have agreed to
be bound by this Agreement.




     (k) The Registrar shall not be responsible for ascertaining whether any transfer
complies with, or otherwise to monitor or determine compliance with, the requirements or
terms of the Securities Act, applicable state securities laws, ERISA, the Code or the 1940
Act; except that if a certificate is specifically required by the terms of this Section
10.08 to be provided to the Registrar by a prospective transferee, the Registrar shall be
under a duty to receive and examine the same to determine whether it conforms substantially
on its face to the applicable requirements of this Section 10.08.



          Section 10.09. Lost or Stolen Trust Securities, Etc. If (i) any mutilated Certificate shall be
surrendered to the Registrar, or if the Registrar shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) there shall be delivered to the Registrar,
the Regular Trustee and the Property Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them
to hold each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice that such Certificate shall have been
acquired by a bona fide purchaser or, as applicable, any protected purchaser, the Regular Trustees
and the Property Trustee shall make available for delivery, in exchange for or in lieu of any
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of a like aggregate liquidation
amount. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate, the Registrar, the Regular Trustee
or the Property Trustee 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 Certificate issued
pursuant to this Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of a Certificate corresponding to
that evidenced by the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, as if originally issued, whether or
not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.




51









 








     The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all
other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost
or stolen Certificates.



ARTICLE 11

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF HOLDERS OF TRUST SECURITIES, TRUSTEES OR

OTHERS




          Section 11.01. Liability.





     (a) Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Trust Preferred Guarantee and
the terms of the Trust Securities, the Bank, the Guarantor, the Sponsor and the Trustees
shall not be:




          (i) personally liable for the return of any portion of the capital contributions (or
any return thereon) of the Holders of the Trust Securities, which shall be made solely from
assets of the Trust; and




          (ii) required to pay to the Trust or to any Holder of the Trust Securities any deficit
upon dissolution of the Trust or otherwise.




     (b) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the Holder of the Trust Common
Security, by entering into this Agreement, agrees that it shall be liable directly to any
creditor or claimant of or against the Trust for the entire amount of all of the debts and
obligations of the Trust (other than obligations to the Holders of the Trust Securities in
their capacities as Holders) to the extent not satisfied out of the Trust’s assets. This
Section 11.01(b) shall automatically terminate upon (i) the adoption of final or temporary
U.S. federal tax regulations which, if the Trust were not classified as a grantor trust for
U.S. federal income tax purposes, would result in the classification of the Trust as a
partnership for U.S. federal tax purposes without regard to its organic characteristics and
(ii) the taking of such action, if any, by the Trust or the Holders of the Trust Securities
as may be necessary to achieve such classification.




     (c) Pursuant to Section 3803(a) of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, the Holders of the
Trust Preferred Securities shall be entitled to the same limitation of personal liability
extended to shareholders of private corporations for profit organized under the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.



          Section 11.02. Exculpation.





     (a) No Indemnified Person shall be liable, responsible or accountable in damages or
otherwise to the Trust or any Covered Person for any loss, damage or claim incurred by
reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Indemnified Person in good faith
on behalf of the Trust and in a manner such Indemnified Person reasonably believed to be
within the scope of the authority conferred on such Indemnified Person by this Agreement or
by law, except that a Indemnified Person shall be liable for any such



52









 







loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of such Indemnified Person’s negligence or
willful misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions.




     (b) An Indemnified Person shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the
records of the Trust and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to
the Trust by any Person as to matters the Indemnified Person reasonably believes are within
such other Person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with
reasonable care by or on behalf of the Trust, including information, opinions, reports or
statements as to the value and amount of the assets, liabilities, profits, losses, or any
other facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which Capital Payments to
Holders of the Trust Securities might properly be paid.



          Section 11.03. Fiduciary Duty.





     (a) To the extent that, at law or in equity, an Indemnified Person has duties
(including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Trust or to any other
Covered Person, an Indemnified Person acting under this Agreement shall not be liable to the
Trust or to any other Covered Person for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this
Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties
and liabilities of an Indemnified Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed
by the parties hereto to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Indemnified
Person.




     (b) Unless otherwise expressly provided herein:




          (i) whenever a conflict of interest exists or arises between an Indemnified Person and
any Covered Person; or




          (ii) whenever this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein or therein
provides that an Indemnified Person shall act in a manner that is, or provides terms that
are, fair and reasonable to the Trust or any Holder of the Trust Securities,



     the Indemnified Person shall resolve such conflict of interest, take such action or provide
such terms, considering in each case the relative interest of each party (including its own
interest) to such conflict, agreement, transaction or situation and the benefits and burdens
relating to such interests, any customary or accepted industry practices, and any applicable
generally accepted accounting practices or principles. In the absence of bad faith by the
Indemnified Person, the resolution, action or term so made, taken or provided by the Indemnified
Person shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein
or of any duty or obligation of the Indemnified Person at law or in equity or otherwise.




     (c) Whenever in this Agreement, an Indemnified Person is permitted or required to make
a decision:




          (i) in its “discretion” or under a grant of similar authority, the Indemnified Person
shall be entitled to consider such interests and factors as it desires,



53









 







including its own interests, and shall have no duty or obligation to give any
consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Trust or any other Person; or




          (ii) in its “good faith” or under another express standard, the Indemnified Person
shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different
standard imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law.



          Section 11.04. Indemnification.





     (a)




          (i) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Bank shall indemnify and
hold harmless any Bank Indemnified Person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made
a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the
Trust) by reason of the fact that he is or was a Bank Indemnified Person against expenses
(including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in
good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Trust, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit
or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere
or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Bank Indemnified
Person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the Trust, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.




          (ii) The Bank shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any Bank
Indemnified Person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Trust to procure a
judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a Bank Indemnified Person
against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith
and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Trust and except that no such indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue
or matter as to which such Bank Indemnified Person shall have been adjudged to be liable to
the Trust unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of Delaware or the court
in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the
adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such Court of Chancery
or such other court shall deem proper.




          (iii) To the extent that a Bank Indemnified Person shall be successful on the merits or
otherwise (including dismissal of an action without prejudice or the settlement of an action
without admission of liability) in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in
paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section 11.04(a), or in defense of



54









 







any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified by the Bank, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.




          (iv) Any indemnification under paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section 11.04(a) (unless
ordered by a court) shall be made by the Bank only as authorized in the specific case upon a
determination that indemnification of the Bank Indemnified Person is proper in the
circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in paragraphs
(i) and (ii). Such determination shall be made (1) by the Regular Trustees by a majority
vote of a Quorum consisting of such Regular Trustees who were not parties to such action,
suit or proceeding, (2) if such a Quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, if a
Quorum of disinterested Regular Trustees so directs, by independent legal counsel in a
written opinion, or (3) by the Holder of the Trust Common Security.




          (v) Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a Bank Indemnified Person in
defending a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding
referred to in paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section 11.04(a) shall be paid by the Bank in
advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of such Bank Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall
ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Bank as authorized
in this Section 11.04(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no advance shall be made by the
Bank if a determination is reasonably and promptly made (i) by the Regular Trustees by a
majority vote of a Quorum of disinterested Regular Trustees, (ii) if such a Quorum is not
obtainable, or , even if obtainable, if a Quorum of disinterested Regular Trustees so
directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion or (iii) the Holder of the Trust
Common Security, that, based upon the facts known to the Regular Trustees, counsel or the
Holder of the Trust Common Security at the time such determination is made, such Bank
Indemnified Person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the Trust, or, with respect to any criminal
proceeding, that such Bank Indemnified Person believed or had reasonable cause to believe
his conduct was unlawful. In no event shall any advance be made in instances where the
Regular Trustees, independent legal counsel or the Holder of the Trust Common Security
reasonably determine that such person deliberately breached his duty to the Trust or to the
Holder of the Trust Common Security.




          (vi) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant
to, the other paragraphs of this Section 11.04(a) shall not be deemed exclusive of any other
rights to which those seeking indemnification and advancement of expenses may be entitled
under any agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors of the Bank or Holders
of the Trust Securities or otherwise. All rights to indemnification under this Section
11.04(a) shall be deemed to be provided by a contract between the Bank and each Bank
Indemnified Person who serves in such capacity at any time while this Section 11.04(a) is in
effect. Any repeal or modification of this Section 11.04(a) shall not affect any rights or
obligations then existing.



55









 






          (vii) The Bank or the Trust may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person
who is or was a Bank Indemnified Person against any liability asserted against him and
incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not
the Bank would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions
of this Section 11.04(a).




          (viii) For purposes of this Section 11.04(a), references to “the Trust” shall include,
in addition to the resulting or surviving entity, any constituent entity (including any
constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger, so that any person who
is or was a director, trustee, officer or employee of such constituent entity, or is or was
serving at the request of such constituent entity as a director, trustee, officer, employee
or agent of another entity, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this
Section 11.04(a) with respect to the resulting or surviving entity as he would have with
respect to such constituent entity if its separate existence had continued.




          (ix) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant
to, this Section 11.04(a) shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified,
continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Bank Indemnified Person and shall inure to
the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.




     (b) The Bank agrees to indemnify the (i) Property Trustee, (ii) the Delaware Trustee,
(iii) any Affiliate of the Property Trustee and (iv) any officers, directors, shareholders,
members, partners, employees, representatives, custodians, nominees or agents of the
Property Trustee and the Delaware Trustee (each of the Persons in (i) through (iv) being
referred to as a “Fiduciary Indemnified Person”) for, and to hold each Fiduciary Indemnified
Person harmless against, any loss, damage, claim, liability or expense including taxes
(other than taxes based on the income of the Trustee) incurred without negligence or bad
faith on the part of the Fiduciary Indemnified Person arising out of or in connection with
the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs and
expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) of defending itself against or
investigating any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any
of its powers or duties hereunder. The obligation to indemnify as set forth in this Section
11.04(b) shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Agreement.



          Section 11.05. Outside Businesses.




          Any Covered Person, the Bank, the Delaware Trustee and the Property Trustee may engage in or
possess an interest in other business ventures of any nature or description, independently or with
others, similar or dissimilar to the business of the Trust, and the Trust and the Holders of the
Trust Securities shall have no rights by virtue of this 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 Trust, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper. Any Covered
Person, the Bank, the Delaware Trustee or the Property Trustee shall not be obligated to present
any particular investment or other opportunity to the Trust even if such opportunity is of a
character that, if presented to the Trust, could be taken by the Trust, and




56









 







any Covered Person, the Bank, the Delaware Trustee and the Property Trustee shall have the
right to take for its own account (individually or as a partner or fiduciary) or to recommend to
others any such particular investment or other opportunity. Any Covered Person, the Delaware
Trustee and the Property Trustee may engage or be interested in any financial or other transaction
with the Bank or any Affiliate of the Bank, 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 Bank or its
Affiliates.

Preference Amount and liquidation amount, as applicable, of the Trust Securities; provided,
further, that the Property Trustee shall not be obligated to take any action in accordance

class of Trust Securities. Such direction shall be given by delivering to the Regular

authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all Holders of the Trust Securities
having a right to vote thereon were present and voting. Prompt notice of



60









 







the taking of action without a meeting shall be given to the Holders of the Trust
Securities entitled to vote who have not consented in writing. The Regular Trustees may

          (ii) each Holder of a Trust Security may authorize any Person to act for it by proxy on
all matters in which a Holder of the Trust Securities is entitled to participate, including
waiving notice of any meeting, or voting or participating at a meeting. No proxy shall be
valid after the expiration of 11 months from the date thereof unless otherwise provided in

Securities executing it. Except as otherwise provided herein, all matters relating to the
giving, voting or validity of proxies shall be governed by the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware relating to proxies, and judicial interpretations thereunder, as if

shareholders of a Delaware corporation;




          (iii) each meeting of the Holder of the Trust Securities shall be conducted by the
Regular Trustees or by such other Person that the Regular Trustees may designate; and




          (iv) unless the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, this Agreement, the Trust Indenture Act,

(Liquidation Preference Amount U.S.$25 per Trust Preferred Security)




     This Trust Preferred Security is a Global Trust Preferred Certificate within the meaning of
the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement, dated as of November 15, 2007 (the “Trust
Agreement"), by and among Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft, Deutsche Bank Capital Funding LLC X,
Deutsche Bank Trust Company Delaware, as Delaware Trustee, The Bank of New York, as Property
Trustee (the “Property Trustee”), and the Regular Trustees and is registered in the name of The
Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or a nominee of DTC as owner of an undivided beneficial ownership
interest in the Trust Estate of Deutsche Bank Capital Funding Trust X (the “Trust”) as described in
the Trust Agreement. This Trust Preferred Security is exchangeable for Trust Preferred Securities
registered in the name of a person other than DTC or its nominee only in the limited circumstances
described in the Trust Agreement and no transfer of this Trust Preferred Security (other than a
transfer of this Trust Preferred Security in whole and not in part by DTC to a nominee of DTC or by
a nominee of DTC to DTC or another nominee of DTC) may be registered except in limited
circumstances.



          To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned
in the Trust Agreement. This Trust Preferred Security is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Trust Agreement, to which Trust Agreement, as amended from time to
time, the Holder by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which the Holder is bound. This
Global Trust Preferred Certificate does not purport to summarize the Trust Agreement. Reference is
hereby made to the Trust Agreement (to which this Global Trust Preferred Certificate is subject and
which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety as fully as if it were restated herein)
for a statement of the duties, obligations, rights, interests and benefits of the registered Holder
hereof and the rights, duties and immunities of the Property Trustee.




          The interest in the Trust Estate evidenced by this Global Trust Preferred Certificate is
limited to the right to receive a pro rata share of the Capital Payments received by the Property
Trustee in respect of the Class B Preferred Securities issued by the Sponsor (the “Class B
Preferred Securities"), at the times and in the manner provided in the Trust Agreement.



Global Trust Preferred Certificate


 









 








          This Global Trust Preferred Certificate is transferable as provided in the Trust Agreement,
subject to the limitations referred to herein and in the Trust Agreement, only upon entry of such
transfer in the Register kept by the Registrar and only upon surrender of this Global Trust
Preferred Certificate for transfer to the Registrar together with an endorsement or a written
instrument of transfer (executed by the registered Holder hereof or his or her duly authorized
attorney) in form satisfactory to the Registrar. No transfer of this Global Trust Preferred
Certificate shall be registered unless the transferee satisfies the requirements set forth in the
Trust Agreement.




          No service charge shall be made for registration of transfer or exchange of this Global Trust
Preferred Certificate, but the Registrar, the Property Trustee or any agent may require payment of
a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.




          In connection with the involuntary or voluntary liquidation, dissolution, winding-up or
termination of the Trust not involving the redemption of the Class B Preferred Securities in whole
or the liquidation or dissolution of the Sponsor, the Holders shall be entitled to receive
corresponding amounts of Class B Preferred Securities.




          The Holders shall be entitled to receive cash Capital Payments from the date of original
issuance of the Trust Preferred Securities payable on a noncumulative basis, quarterly in arrears
on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year,
commencing on March 15, 2008, as and when funds are available to the Trust to make such
Capital Payments. With respect to each Payment Period, Capital Payments shall be payable on the
Liquidation Preference Amount of each Trust Preferred Security at the Stated Rate to the extent
funds are available to the Trust to make such Capital Payments.




          The Trust Preferred Securities shall be redeemed if the Class B Preferred Securities are
redeemed. The redemption terms for the Class B Preferred Securities including certain
restrictions, limitations and prohibitions are as described in the LLC Agreement.




          The Holders shall not be entitled to vote except as provided in the Trust Agreement.




          The Trust and each Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Trust Preferred Security is
registered on the Register as the owner of this Trust Preferred Security for all purposes, and none
of the Trustees shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.




          The Holder, by its acceptance of this Global Trust Preferred Certificate, agrees that the
Trust Preferred Securities evidenced thereby shall look solely to the funds in the Property Account
to the extent available for distribution to the Holder as provided in the Trust Agreement for
payment hereunder and that the Property Trustee in its individual capacity is not personally liable
to the Holder for any amounts payable under this Global Trust Preferred Certificate or the Trust
Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Trust Agreement, subject to any liability under
the Trust Agreement.



 Global Trust Preferred Certificate


 









 








          This Global Trust Preferred Certificate shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance
with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.




          Definitive Trust Preferred Certificates representing individual Trust Preferred Securities
shall not be issued; provided, however, that in the event that DTC or any successors thereto shall
be unable to clear and settle the Trust Preferred Securities, definitive Trust Preferred
Certificates representing individual Trust Preferred Securities may be issued.




          This Global Trust Preferred Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Trust
Agreement or become valid or obligatory for any purpose until it shall have been executed by the
Property Trustee or an Authenticating Agent appointed pursuant to the Agency Agreement.




          Copies of the Trust Agreement, the Limited Liability Company Agreement, the Trust Preferred
Guarantee and the Class B Preferred Guarantee shall be provided by the Property Trustee to any
Holder upon written request and at the expense of the Holder at the Property Trustee’s corporate
