 (I) the taking of any

Property for the benefit of the Holders (without consideration of the effect of any such action on any particular Holder); and 
  

 9 








 (J) to take all action that may be necessary for the preservation and the continuation of
the Trust’s valid existence, rights, franchises and privileges as a statutory trust under the laws of the State of Connecticut and of each other jurisdiction in which such existence is necessary to protect the limited liability of the Holders
of the Capital Securities or to enable the Trust to effect the purposes for which the Trust was created. 
  
 (iii) The Institutional Trustee shall have the power and authority to act on behalf of the Trust with respect to any of the duties,
liabilities, powers or the authority of the Administrators set forth in Section 2.6(a)(i)(D), (E) and (F) herein but shall not have a duty to do any such act unless specifically requested to do so in writing by the Sponsor, and shall then be fully
protected in acting pursuant to such written request; and in the event of a conflict between the action of the Administrators and the action of the Institutional Trustee, the action of the Institutional Trustee shall prevail. 
  
 (b) So long as this Declaration remains in effect, the Trust (or the Trustees
or Administrators acting on behalf of the Trust) shall not undertake any business, activities or transaction except as expressly provided herein or contemplated hereby. In particular, neither the Trustees nor the Administrators may cause the Trust

 (d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrators and the Holders of a Majority in
liquidation amount of the Common Securities are authorized and directed to conduct the affairs of the Trust and to operate the Trust so that the Trust will not (i) be deemed to be an Investment Company required to be registered under the Investment
Company Act, and (ii) fail to be classified as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes. The Administrators and the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Common Securities shall not take any action inconsistent with
the treatment of the Debentures as indebtedness of the Debenture Issuer for United States federal income tax purposes. In this connection, the Administrators and the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Common Securities are authorized
to take any action, not inconsistent with applicable laws, the Certificate of Trust or this Declaration, as amended from time to time, that each of the Administrators and the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Common Securities
determines in their discretion to be necessary or desirable for such purposes. 
  
 (e) All expenses incurred by the Administrators or the Trustees pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be reimbursed by the Sponsor, and the Trustees shall have no obligations with respect to such expenses. 
  
 (f) The assets of the Trust shall consist of the Trust Property.

Institutional Trustee (in its capacity as such) and shall be held and administered by the Institutional Trustee for the benefit of the Trust in accordance with this Declaration. 
  
 Section 2.7. Prohibition of Actions by the Trust and the Trustees. 
  
 (a) The Trust shall not, and the Institutional Trustee shall cause the Trust
not to, engage in any activity other than as required or authorized by this Declaration. In particular, the Trust shall not and the Institutional Trustee shall cause the Trust not to: 
  
 (i) invest any proceeds received by the Trust from holding the Debentures, but shall distribute all such
proceeds to Holders of the Securities pursuant to the terms of this Declaration and of the Securities; 
  
 (ii) acquire any assets other than as expressly provided herein; 
  
 (iii) possess Trust Property for other than a Trust purpose; 
  
 (iv) make any loans or incur any indebtedness other than
loans represented by the Debentures; 
  
 (v)
possess any power or otherwise act in such a way as to vary the Trust assets or the terms of the Securities in any way whatsoever other than as expressly provided herein; 
  
 (vi) issue any securities or other evidences of beneficial ownership of, or beneficial interest in, the
Trust other than the Securities; 
  
 (vii) carry
on any “trade or business” as that phrase is used in the Code; or 
  
 (viii) other than as provided in this Declaration (including Annex I), (A) direct the time, method and place of exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Debenture Trustee with respect to the Debentures, (B)
waive any past default that is waivable under the Indenture, (C) exercise any right to rescind or annul any declaration that the principal of all the Debentures 
  


 11 








 shall be due and payable, or (D) consent to any amendment, modification or termination of the Indenture
or the Debentures where such consent shall be required unless the Trust shall have received an opinion of counsel to the effect that such modification will not cause the Trust to cease to be classified as a grantor trust for United States federal
income tax purposes. 
  
 Section 2.8. Powers and Duties of
the Institutional Trustee. 
  
 (a) The legal title to the
Debentures shall be owned by and held of record in the name of the Institutional Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Trust and the Holders of the Securities. The right, title and interest of the Institutional Trustee to the Debentures shall vest
automatically in each Person who may hereafter be appointed as Institutional Trustee in accordance with Section 4.4. Such vesting and cessation of title shall be effective whether or not conveyancing documents with regard to the Debentures have been
executed and delivered. 
  
 (b) The Institutional Trustee shall
not transfer its right, title and interest in the Debentures to the Administrators. 
  
 (c) The Institutional Trustee shall: 
  
 (i) establish and maintain a segregated non-interest bearing trust account (the “Property Account”) in the name of and under the exclusive control of the Institutional Trustee, and maintained in the
Institutional Trustee’s trust department, on behalf of the Holders of the Securities and, upon the receipt of payments of funds made in respect of the Debentures held by the Institutional Trustee, deposit such funds into the Property Account
and make payments, or cause the Paying Agent to make payments, to the Holders of the Capital Securities and Holders of the Common Securities from the Property Account in accordance with Section 5.1. Funds in the Property Account shall be held
uninvested until disbursed in accordance with this Declaration; 
  
 (ii) engage in such ministerial activities as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect the redemption of the Capital Securities and the Common Securities to the extent the Debentures are redeemed or mature; and

  
 (iii) upon written notice of distribution
issued by the Administrators in accordance with the terms of the Securities, engage in such ministerial activities as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect the distribution of the Debentures to Holders of Securities upon the occurrence of
certain circumstances pursuant to the terms of the Securities. 
  
 (d) The Institutional Trustee may bring or defend, pay, collect, compromise, arbitrate, resort to legal action with respect to, or otherwise adjust claims or demands of or against, the Trust (“Legal Action”) which arises
out of or in connection with an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Institutional Trustee has actual knowledge or arises out of the Institutional Trustee’s duties and obligations under this Declaration; provided,
however, that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and such event is attributable to the failure of the Debenture Issuer to pay interest or principal on the Debentures on the date such interest or principal is otherwise
payable (or in the case of redemption, on the redemption date), then a Holder of the Capital Securities may directly institute a proceeding for enforcement of payment to such Holder of the principal of or interest on the Debentures having a
principal amount equal to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Capital Securities of such Holder (a “Direct Action”) on or after the respective due date specified in the Debentures. In connection with such Direct Action, the
rights of the Holders of the Common Securities will be subrogated to the rights of such Holder of the Capital Securities to the extent of any payment made by the Debenture Issuer to such Holder of the Capital Securities in such Direct Action;
provided, however, that no Holder of the Common 

  

 12 








 
Securities may exercise such right of subrogation so long as an Event of Default with respect to the Capital Securities has occurred and is continuing.

  
 (e) The Institutional 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 Securities pursuant to the terms of the Securities and this Declaration; or 
  
 (ii) a Successor Institutional Trustee has been appointed and has accepted that appointment in accordance
with Section 4.4. 
  
 (f) The Institutional Trustee shall have the
legal power to exercise all of the rights, powers and privileges of a Holder of the Debentures under the Indenture and, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Institutional Trustee may, for the benefit of Holders of the Securities,
enforce its rights as holder of the Debentures subject to the rights of the Holders pursuant to this Declaration (including Annex I) and the terms of the Securities. 
  
 The Institutional Trustee must exercise the powers set forth in this Section 2.8 in a manner that is consistent with the
purposes and functions of the Trust set out in Section 2.3, and the Institutional Trustee shall not take any action that is inconsistent with the purposes and functions of the Trust set out in Section 2.3. 
  
 Section 2.9. Certain Duties and Responsibilities of the Trustees and
Administrators. 
  
 (a) The Institutional Trustee, before
the occurrence of any Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default that may have occurred, shall undertake to perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Declaration and no implied covenants shall
be read into this Declaration against the Institutional Trustee. In case an Event of Default has occurred (that has not been cured or waived pursuant to Section 6.7), the Institutional Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in
it by this Declaration, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs. 
  
 (b) The duties and responsibilities of the Trustees and the Administrators
shall be as provided by this Declaration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Declaration shall require the Trustees or Administrators to expend or risk their own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of
any of their duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of their rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate protection against such risk of liability is not reasonably assured to it.
Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Declaration relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustees or Administrators shall be subject to the provisions of this Article.
Nothing in this Declaration shall be construed to relieve an Administrator or Trustee from liability for its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct. To the extent that, at law or in equity, a Trustee or an Administrator has
duties and liabilities relating to the Trust or to the Holders, such Trustee or Administrator shall not be liable to the Trust or to any Holder for such Trustee’s or Administrator’s good faith reliance on the provisions of this
Declaration. The provisions of this Declaration, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of the Administrators or the Trustees otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Sponsor and the Holders to replace such
other duties and liabilities of the Administrators or the Trustees. 
  

 13 








 (c) All payments made by the Institutional Trustee or a Paying Agent in respect of the Securities shall
be made only from the revenue and proceeds from the Trust Property and only to the extent that there shall be sufficient revenue or proceeds from the Trust Property to enable the Institutional Trustee or a Paying Agent to make payments in accordance
with the terms hereof. Each Holder, by its acceptance of a Security, agrees that it will look solely to the revenue and proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent legally available for distribution to it as herein provided and that the Trustees
and the Administrators are not personally liable to it for any amount distributable in respect of any Security or for any other liability in respect of any Security. This Section 2.9(c) does not limit the liability of the Trustees expressly set
forth elsewhere in this Declaration. 
  
 (d) The Institutional
Trustee shall not be liable for its own acts or omissions hereunder except as a result of its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
  
 (i) the Institutional Trustee shall not be liable for any
error of judgment made in good faith by an Authorized Officer of the Institutional Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Institutional Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; 
  
 (ii) the Institutional Trustee shall not be liable with
respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of not less than a Majority in liquidation amount of the Capital Securities or the Common Securities, as applicable, relating to
the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Institutional Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Institutional Trustee under this Declaration; 
  
 (iii) the Institutional Trustee’s sole duty with
respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Debentures and the Property Account shall be to deal with such property in a similar manner as the Institutional Trustee deals with similar property for its fiduciary accounts
generally, subject to the protections and limitations on liability afforded to the Institutional Trustee under this Declaration; 
  
 (iv) the Institutional Trustee shall not be liable for any interest on any money received by it except as it may otherwise agree in
writing with the Sponsor; and money held by the Institutional Trustee need not be segregated from other funds held by it except in relation to the Property Account maintained by the Institutional Trustee pursuant to Section 2.8(c)(i) and except to
the extent otherwise required by law; and 
  
 (v)
the Institutional Trustee shall not be responsible for monitoring the compliance by the Administrators or the Sponsor with their respective duties under this Declaration, nor shall the Institutional Trustee be liable for any default or misconduct of
the Administrators or the Sponsor. 
  
 Section 2.10. Certain
Rights of Institutional Trustee. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.9: 
  
 (a) the Institutional Trustee may conclusively rely and shall fully be protected in acting or refraining from acting in good faith upon any resolution, opinion of counsel, certificate, written representation of a
Holder or transferee, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, appraisal, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or presented by the proper party or parties; 
  

 14 








 (b) if (i) in performing its duties under this Declaration, the Institutional Trustee is required to
decide between alternative courses of action, (ii) in construing any of the provisions of this Declaration, the Institutional Trustee finds the same ambiguous or inconsistent with any other provisions contained herein, or (iii) the Institutional
Trustee is unsure of the application of any provision of this Declaration, then, except as to any matter as to which the Holders of Capital Securities are entitled to vote under the terms of this Declaration, the Institutional Trustee may deliver a
notice to the Sponsor requesting the Sponsor’s written instructions as to the course of action to be taken and the Institutional Trustee shall take such action, or refrain from taking such action, as the Institutional Trustee shall be
instructed in writing, in which event the Institutional Trustee shall have no liability except for its own negligence or willful misconduct; 
  
 (c) any direction or act of the Sponsor or the Administrators contemplated by this Declaration shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers’
Certificate; 
  
 (d) whenever in the administration of this
Declaration, the Institutional Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established before undertaking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Institutional Trustee (unless other evidence is herein specifically prescribed)
may request and conclusively rely upon an Officers’ Certificate as to factual matters which, upon receipt of such request, shall be promptly delivered by the Sponsor or the Administrators;

filing or registration of any instrument (including any financing or continuation statement or any filing under tax or securities laws) or any rerecording, refiling or reregistration thereof; 
  
 (f) the Institutional Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection
(which counsel may be counsel to the Sponsor or any of its Affiliates) and the advice of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in
reliance thereon and in accordance with such advice; the Institutional Trustee shall have the right at any time to seek instructions concerning the administration of this Declaration from any court of competent jurisdiction; 
  
 (g) the Institutional Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of
the rights or powers vested in it by this Declaration at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Declaration, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Institutional Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory
to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction; provided, that nothing contained in this Section 2.10(g) shall be taken to relieve the Institutional Trustee,
subject to Section 2.9(b), upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Declaration, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use
under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs; 
  
 (h) the Institutional Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture,
note or other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by one or more Holders, but the Institutional Trustee may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see
fit; 
  
 (i) the Institutional Trustee may execute any of the
trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through its agents or attorneys and the Institutional Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of or for the supervision of, any
such agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder; 
  

 15 








 (j) whenever in the administration of this Declaration the Institutional Trustee shall deem it desirable
to receive instructions with respect to enforcing any remedy or right or taking any other action hereunder the Institutional Trustee (i) may request instructions from the Holders of the Capital Securities which instructions may only be given by the
Holders of the same proportion in liquidation amount of the Capital Securities as would be entitled to direct the Institutional Trustee under the terms of the Capital Securities in respect of such remedy, right or action, (ii) may refrain from
enforcing such remedy or right or taking such other action until such instructions are received, and (iii) shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with such instructions; 
  
 (k) except as otherwise expressly provided in this Declaration, the Institutional Trustee shall not be under any obligation
to take any action that is discretionary under the provisions of this Declaration; 
  
 (l) when the Institutional Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with a Bankruptcy Event, such expenses (including the fees and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for such services are
intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy law or law relating to creditors rights generally; 
  
 (m) the Institutional Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of an Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Institutional Trustee obtains
actual knowledge of such event or the Institutional Trustee receives written notice of such event from any Holder, the Sponsor or the Debenture Trustee; 
  
 (n) any action taken by the Institutional Trustee or its agents hereunder shall bind the Trust and the Holders of the Securities, and the signature of the
Institutional 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 Institutional Trustee to so act or as to its compliance with any of the
terms and provisions of this Declaration, both of which shall be conclusively evidenced by the Institutional Trustee’s or its agent’s taking such action; and 
  
 (o) no provision of this Declaration shall be deemed to impose any duty or obligation on the Institutional 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 Institutional Trustee shall be unqualified or incompetent in accordance with
applicable law, to perform any such act or acts, or to exercise any such right, power, duty or obligation. No permissive power or authority available to the Institutional Trustee shall be construed to be a duty. 
  
 Section 2.11. Execution of Documents. Unless otherwise
determined in writing by the Institutional Trustee, and except as otherwise required by the Statutory Trust Act, the Institutional Trustee, or any one or more of the Administrators, as the case may be, is authorized to execute on behalf of the Trust

 (b) The Trust may, with the consent of the Institutional Trustee and without the consent of the Holders of the Capital Securities, consolidate,
amalgamate, merge with or into, or be replaced by a trust organized as such under the laws of any state; provided that: 
  
 (i) if the Trust is not the surviving entity, such successor entity (the “Successor Entity”) either: 
  
 (A) expressly assumes all of the obligations of the Trust
under the Securities; or 
  
 (B) substitutes for
the Securities other securities having substantially the same terms as the Securities (the “Successor Securities”) so that the Successor Securities rank the same as the Securities rank with respect to Distributions and payments upon
Liquidation, redemption and otherwise; 
  
 (ii)
the Sponsor expressly appoints a trustee of the Successor Entity that possesses the same powers and duties as the Institutional Trustee as the Holder of the Debentures;

consolidation, amalgamation or replacement); 
  
 (iv) the Institutional Trustee receives written confirmation from Moody’s Investor Services, Inc. or any other nationally recognized statistical rating organization that rates securities issued by the initial purchase of the Capital
Securities that it will not reduce or withdraw the rating of any such securities because of such merger, conversion, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement; 
  
 (v) such Successor Entity has a purpose substantially identical to that of the Trust; 
  
 (vi) prior to such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or
replacement, the Trust has received an opinion of a nationally recognized independent counsel to the Trust experienced in such matters to the effect that: 
  
 (A) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement does not adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the
Holders of the Securities (including any Successor Securities) in any material respect (other than with respect to any dilution of the Holders’ interest in the Successor Entity); 
  
 (B) following such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement, neither the Trust nor the Successor

of the Trust, including, without limitation, costs and expenses of accountants, attorneys, statistical or bookkeeping services, expenses for printing and engraving and computing or accounting equipment, Paying Agents, Registrars, Transfer Agents,
duplicating, travel and telephone and other telecommunications expenses and costs and expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition, financing, and disposition of Trust assets and the enforcement by the Institutional Trustee of the rights of

United States withholding taxes attributable to the Trust or its assets) and all liabilities, costs and expenses with respect to such taxes of the Trust. 
  
 The Sponsor’s obligations under this Section 3.3 shall be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, any Person to whom such debts,
obligations, costs, expenses and taxes are owed (a “Creditor”) whether or not such Creditor has received notice hereof. Any such Creditor may enforce the Sponsor’s obligations under this Section 3.3 directly against the Sponsor
and the Sponsor irrevocably waives any right or remedy to require that any such Creditor take any action against the Trust or any other Person before proceeding against the Sponsor. The Sponsor agrees to execute such additional agreements as may be
necessary or desirable in order to give full effect to the provisions of this Section 3.3. 
  
 Section 3.4. Right to Proceed. The Sponsor acknowledges the rights of Holders to institute a Direct Action as set forth in Section 2.8(d)hereto. 
  
 ARTICLE IV 
  
 TRUSTEES AND ADMINISTRATORS 
  
 Section 4.1. Number of Trustees. The number of Trustees
initially shall be one (1), and: 
  
 (a) at any time before the
issuance of any Securities, the Sponsor may, by written instrument, increase or decrease the number of Trustees; and 
  
 (b) after the issuance of any Securities, the number of Trustees may be increased or decreased by vote of the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount
of the Capital Securities voting as a class at a meeting of the Holders of the Capital Securities; provided, however, that there shall always be one Trustee who shall be the Institutional Trustee. 
  
 Section 4.2. Institutional Trustee; Eligibility. 
  
 (a) There shall at all times be one Trustee which shall act as Institutional
Trustee which shall: 
  
 (i) not be an Affiliate
of the Sponsor; 
  
 (ii) not offer or provide
credit or credit enhancement to the Trust; and 
  
 (iii) be a banking corporation or trust company organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers,
having a combined capital and surplus of at least 50 million U.S. dollars ($50,000,000), and subject to supervision or examination by Federal, state, or District of Columbia authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least
annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the supervising or 
  

 19 








 examining authority referred to above, then for the purposes of this Section 4.2(a)(iii), the combined
capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. 
  

(b) If at any time the Institutional Trustee shall cease to be eligible to so act under Section 4.2(a), the Institutional Trustee shall immediately
resign in the manner and with the effect set forth in Section 4.4(a). 
  
 (c) The initial Institutional Trustee shall be State Street Bank and Trust Company of Connecticut, National Association. 
  
 Section 4.3. Administrators. Each Administrator shall be a U.S. Person, 21 years of age or older and authorized to bind the Sponsor. The
initial Administrators shall be Paul W. Taylor and William R. Farr. There shall at all times be at least one Administrator. Except where a requirement for action by a specific number of Administrators is expressly set forth in this Declaration and
except with respect to any action the taking of which is the subject of a meeting of the Administrators, any action required or permitted to be taken by the Administrators may be taken by, and any power of the Administrators may be exercised by, or
with the consent of, any one such Administrator. 
  
 Section
4.4. Appointment, Removal and Resignation of Trustees and Administrators. 
  
 (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Declaration, no resignation or removal of any Trustee (the “Relevant Trustee”) and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article
shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of this Section 4.4. 
  
 Subject to the immediately preceding paragraph, a Relevant Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Holders of the
Securities and by appointing a successor Relevant Trustee. Upon the resignation of the Institutional Trustee, the Institutional Trustee shall appoint a successor by requesting from at least three Persons meeting the eligibility requirements, its
expenses and charges to serve as the successor Institutional Trustee on a form provided by the Administrators, and selecting the Person who agrees to the lowest expense and charges (the “Successor Institutional Trustee”). If the
instrument of acceptance by the successor Relevant Trustee required by this Section 4.4 shall not have been delivered to the Relevant Trustee within 60 days after the giving of such notice of resignation or delivery of the instrument of removal, the
Relevant Trustee may petition, at the expense of the Trust, any Federal, state or District of Columbia court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Relevant Trustee. Such court may thereupon, after prescribing such notice, if
any, as it may deem proper, appoint a Relevant Trustee. The Institutional Trustee shall have no liability for the selection of such successor pursuant to this Section 4.4. 
  
 The Institutional Trustee may be removed by the act of the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Capital
Securities, delivered to the Relevant Trustee (in its individual capacity and on behalf of the Trust) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. If any Trustee shall be so removed, the Holders of Capital Securities, by act of the
Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Capital Securities then outstanding delivered to the Relevant Trustee, shall promptly appoint a successor Relevant Trustee or Trustees, and such successor Trustee shall comply with the applicable
requirements of this Section 4.4. If no successor Relevant Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Capital Securities and accepted appointment in the manner required by this Section 4.4, within
30 days after delivery of an instrument of removal, any Holder who has been a Holder of the Securities for at least 6 months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any Federal, state or District of Columbia court of
competent 

  

 20 








 
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Relevant Trustee. Such court may thereupon, after prescribing such notice, if any, as it may deem proper,
appoint a successor Relevant Trustee or Trustees. 
  
 The
Institutional Trustee shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of a Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee to all Holders in the manner provided in Section 13.1(d) and shall give notice to the Sponsor. Each notice shall
include the name of the successor Relevant Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office if it is the Institutional Trustee. 
  
 (b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Relevant Trustee, the retiring Relevant Trustee and each successor Relevant Trustee with respect
to the Trust Securities shall execute and deliver an amendment hereto wherein each successor Relevant Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (i) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to,
and to vest in, each successor Relevant Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Relevant Trustee with respect to the Securities and the Trust and (ii) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Declaration as
shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the Trust by more than one Relevant Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such amendment shall constitute such Relevant Trustees co-trustees and upon the
execution and delivery of such amendment the resignation or removal of the retiring Relevant Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Relevant Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Relevant Trustee; but, on request of the Trust of any successor Relevant Trustee such retiring Relevant Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor
Relevant Trustee all Trust Property, all proceeds thereof and money held by such retiring Relevant Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities and the Trust. 
  
 (c) No Institutional Trustee shall be liable for the acts or omissions to act of any Successor Institutional Trustee.

  
 (d) The Holders of the Capital Securities will have no right
to vote to appoint, remove or replace the Administrators, which voting rights are vested exclusively in the Holder of the Common Securities. 
  
 Section 4.5. Vacancies Among Trustees. If a Trustee ceases to hold office for any reason and the number of Trustees is not reduced pursuant
to Section 4.1, or if the number of Trustees is increased pursuant to Section 4.1, a vacancy shall occur. A resolution certifying the existence of such vacancy by the Trustees or, if there are more than two, a majority of the Trustees shall be
conclusive evidence of the existence of such vacancy. The vacancy shall be filled with a Trustee appointed in accordance with Section 4.4. 
  
 Section 4.6. 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 dissolve, terminate or annul the Trust or terminate this Declaration. Whenever a vacancy in the number of Trustees shall occur, until such vacancy is filled by the appointment of a
Trustee in accordance with Section 4.4, the Institutional Trustee shall have all the powers granted to the Trustees and shall discharge all the duties imposed upon the Trustees by this Declaration. 
  
 Section 4.7. Meetings of the Trustees and the Administrators.
Meetings of the Trustees or the Administrators shall be held from time to time upon the call of any Trustee or Administrator, as applicable. Regular meetings of the Trustees and the Administrators, respectively, may be held in person in the
United States or by telephone, at a place (if applicable) and time fixed by resolution of the Trustees or the Administrators, as applicable. Notice of any in-person meetings of the Trustees or the Administrators 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 Trustees or the Administrators or any committee thereof shall be hand delivered
or otherwise delivered in writing (including by facsimile, with a 
  

 21 








 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 Trustee or an Administrator, as the case may be, at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting except where a Trustee or an
Administrator, as the case may be, attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any activity on the grounds that the meeting has not been lawfully called or convened. Unless provided otherwise in this Declaration, any
action of the Trustees or the Administrators, as the case may be, may be taken at a meeting by vote of a majority of the Trustees or the Administrators 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 Trustees or the Administrators. Meetings of the Trustees and the Administrators together shall be held from time to time upon the call of any Trustee or
Administrator. 
  
 Section 4.8. Delegation of Power.

  
 (a) Any Administrator may, by power of attorney
consistent with applicable law, delegate to any other natural person over the age of 21 that is a U.S. Person his or her power for the purpose of executing any documents contemplated in Section 2.6; and 
  
 (b) the Administrators shall have power to delegate from time to time to such
of their number the doing of such things and the execution of such instruments either in the name of the Trust or the names of the Administrators or otherwise as the Administrators 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 4.9. Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any Person into which the Institutional Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Institutional Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Institutional Trustee shall be the successor of the
Institutional Trustee hereunder, provided such Person shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. 
  
 ARTICLE V 
  
 DISTRIBUTIONS 
  
 Section 5.1. Distributions. Holders shall receive Distributions
in accordance with the applicable terms of the relevant Holder’s Securities. Distributions shall be made on the Capital Securities and the Common Securities in accordance with the preferences set forth in their respective terms. If and to the
extent that the Debenture Issuer makes a payment of Interest (or any principal on the Debentures held by the Institutional Trustee) (the amount of any such payment being a “Payment Amount”), the Institutional Trustee shall and is
directed, to the extent funds are available for that purpose, to make a distribution (a “Distribution”) of the Payment Amount to Holders. 
  

 22 








 ARTICLE VI 
  
 ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES 
  
 Section 6.1. General Provisions Regarding Securities. 
  
 (a) The Administrators shall, on behalf of the Trust, issue one series of capital securities substantially in the form of
Exhibit A-1 representing undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust having such terms as are set forth in Annex I (the “Capital Securities”) and one series of common securities representing undivided beneficial interests in
the assets of the Trust having such terms as are set forth in Annex I (the “Common Securities”). The Trust shall issue no securities or other interests in the assets of the Trust other than the Capital Securities and the Common Securities.
The Capital Securities rank pari passu to, and payment thereon shall be made Pro Rata with, the Common Securities except that, where an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the rights of Holders of the Common Securities to payment
in respect of Distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption and otherwise are subordinated to the rights to payment of the Holders of the Capital Securities as set forth in Annex I. 
  
 (b) The Certificates shall be signed on behalf of the Trust by one or more
Administrators. Such signature shall be the facsimile or manual signature of any Administrator. In case any Administrator of the Trust who shall have signed any of the Securities shall cease to be such Administrator before the Certificates so signed
shall be delivered by the Trust, such Certificates nevertheless may be delivered as though the person who signed such Certificates had not ceased to be such Administrator, and any Certificate may be signed on behalf of the Trust by such persons who,
at the actual date of execution of such Security, shall be an Administrator of the Trust, although at the date of the execution and delivery of the Declaration any such person was not such an Administrator. A Capital Security shall not be valid
until authenticated by the manual signature of an Authorized Officer of the Institutional Trustee. Such signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Capital Security has been authenticated under this Declaration. Upon written order of the Trust
signed by one Administrator, the Institutional Trustee shall authenticate the Capital Securities for original issue. The Institutional Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent that is a U.S. Person acceptable to the Trust to authenticate the
Capital Securities. A Common Security need not be so authenticated. 
  
 (c) The consideration received by the Trust for the issuance of the Securities shall constitute a contribution to the capital of the Trust and shall not constitute a loan to the Trust. 
  
 (d) Upon issuance of the Securities as provided in this Declaration, the
Securities so issued shall be deemed to be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. 
  
 (e) Every Person, by virtue of having become a Holder in accordance with the terms of this Declaration, shall be deemed to have expressly assented and agreed to the terms of, and shall be bound by, this Declaration
and the Guarantee. 
  
 Section 6.2. Paying Agent, Transfer
Agent and Registrar. The Trust shall maintain in Hartford, Connecticut, an office or agency where the Capital Securities may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”), and an office or agency where Securities may be
presented for registration of transfer (the “Transfer Agent”). The Trust shall keep or cause to be kept at such office or agency a register for the purpose of registering Securities, transfers and exchanges of Securities, such
register to be held by a registrar (the “Registrar”). The Administrators may appoint the Paying Agent, the Registrar, the Transfer Agent and may appoint one or more additional Paying Agents or one or more co-Registrars, or one or
more co-Transfer Agents in such other locations as it shall determine. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent, the term “Registrar” includes any additional registrar or co-Registrar and the

  

 23 








 term “Transfer Agent” includes any additional transfer agent. The Administrators may change any Paying
Agent without prior notice to any Holder. The Administrators shall notify the Institutional Trustee of the name and address of any Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar not a party to this Declaration. The Administrators hereby appoint the
Institutional Trustee to act as Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar for the Capital Securities and the Common Securities. The Institutional Trustee or any of its Affiliates in the United States may act as Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or
Registrar. 
  
 Section 6.3. Form and Dating. The
Capital Securities and the Institutional Trustee’s certificate of authentication thereon shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1, and the Common Securities shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2, each of which is hereby
incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Declaration. Certificates may be typed, printed, lithographed or engraved or may be produced in any other manner as is reasonably acceptable to the Administrators, as conclusively evidenced by their
execution thereof. The Securities may have letters, numbers, notations or other marks of identification or designation and such legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule, agreements to which the Trust is subject if any, or usage
(provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Sponsor). The Trust at the direction of the Sponsor shall furnish any such legend not contained in Exhibit A-1 to the Institutional Trustee in writing. Each
Capital Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms and provisions of the Securities set forth in Annex I and the forms of Securities set forth in Exhibits A-1 and A-2 are part of the terms of this Declaration and to the extent
applicable, the Institutional Trustee, the Administrators and the Sponsor, by their execution and delivery of this Declaration, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. Capital Securities will be issued only in blocks
having a stated liquidation amount of not less than $500,000 and any multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
  
 The Capital Securities are being offered and sold by the Trust pursuant to the Placement Agreement in definitive, registered form without coupons with the
Restricted Securities Legend. 
  
 Section 6.4. Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. 
  
 If: 
  
 (a) any mutilated Certificates should 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 
  
 (b) there shall be delivered to the Registrar, the Administrators and the Institutional Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to
keep each of them harmless; 
  
 then, in the absence of notice that such
Certificate shall have been acquired by a protected purchaser, an Administrator on behalf of the Trust shall execute (and in the case of a Capital Security Certificate, the Institutional Trustee shall authenticate) and deliver, in exchange for or in
lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like denomination. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 6.4, the Registrar or the Administrators 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 an ownership interest in the relevant
Securities, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time. 
  
 Section 6.5. Temporary Securities. Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Administrators may prepare and, in the case of
the Capital Securities, the Institutional Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Administrators consider appropriate for
temporary Securities. 

  

 24 








 
Without unreasonable delay, the Administrators shall prepare and, in the case of the Capital Securities, the Institutional Trustee shall authenticate
definitive Securities in exchange for temporary Securities. 
  
 Section 6.6. Cancellation. The Administrators at any time may deliver Securities to the Institutional Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar shall forward to the Institutional Trustee any Securities surrendered to it for
registration of transfer, redemption or payment. The Institutional Trustee shall promptly cancel all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, payment replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of such canceled Securities as the
Administrators direct. The Administrators may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that have been paid or that have been delivered to the Institutional Trustee for cancellation. 
  
 Section 6.7. Rights of Holders; Waivers of Past Defaults. 
  
 (a) The legal title to the Trust Property is vested exclusively in the
Institutional Trustee (in its capacity as such) in accordance with Section 2.5, and the Holders shall not have any right or title therein other than the undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the Trust conferred by their Securities and they
shall have no right to call for any partition or division of property, profits or rights of the Trust except as described below. The Securities shall be personal property giving only the rights specifically set forth therein and in this Declaration.
The Securities shall have no preemptive or similar rights. 
  
 (b)
For so long as any Capital Securities remain outstanding, if upon an Indenture Event of Default, the Debenture Trustee fails or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Debentures fail to declare the principal of all
of the Debentures to be immediately due and payable, the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Capital Securities then outstanding shall have the right to make such declaration by a notice in writing to the Institutional Trustee, the
Sponsor and the Debenture Trustee. 
  
 At any time after a
declaration of acceleration with respect to the Debentures has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Debenture Trustee as provided in the Indenture, if the Institutional Trustee fails to
annul any such declaration and waive such default, the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Capital Securities, by written notice to the Institutional Trustee, the Sponsor and the Debenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such
declaration and its consequences if: 
  
 (i) the
Debenture Issuer has paid or deposited with the Debenture Trustee a sum sufficient to pay 
  
 (A) all overdue installments of interest on all of the Debentures, 
  
 (B) any accrued Additional Interest on all of the Debentures, 
  
 (C) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any
Debentures that have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest and Additional Interest thereon at the rate borne by the Debentures, and 
  
 (D) all sums paid or advanced by the Debenture Trustee under the Indenture and the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Debenture Trustee and the Institutional Trustee, their agents and counsel; and 
  
 (ii) all Events of Default with respect to the Debentures, other than the non-payment of the principal of the Debentures that has become
due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.7 of the Indenture. 
  

 25 








 The Holders of at least a majority in liquidation amount of the Capital Securities may, on behalf of the
Holders of all the Capital Securities, waive any past default or Event of Default under the Indenture, except a default or Event of Default in the payment of principal or interest (unless such default or Event of Default has been cured and a sum
sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest and principal due otherwise than by acceleration has been deposited with the Debenture Trustee) or a default or Event of Default in respect of a covenant or provision that under the Indenture
cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding Debenture. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
  
 Upon receipt by the Institutional Trustee of written notice declaring such an
acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof, by Holders of any part of the Capital Securities, a record date shall be established for determining Holders of outstanding Capital Securities entitled to join in such notice, which record date
shall be at the close of business on the day the Institutional Trustee receives such notice. The Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such notice, whether or not such
Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, that unless such declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having joined in such
notice prior to the day that is 90 days after such record date, such notice of declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be canceled and of no further
effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a Holder, or a proxy of a Holder, from giving, after expiration of such 90-day period, a new written notice of declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof, as the case may be, that
is identical to a written notice that has been canceled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in which event a new record date shall be established pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.7. 
  
 (c) Except as otherwise provided in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section
6.7, the Holders of at least a majority in liquidation amount of the Capital Securities may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Capital Securities, waive any past default or Event of Default and its consequences. Upon such waiver, any such default
or Event of Default shall cease to exist, and any default or Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Trust Agreement, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or
Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
  
 ARTICLE VII 
  
 DISSOLUTION AND TERMINATION OF
TRUST 
  
 Section 7.1. Dissolution and Termination of
Trust. 
  
 (a) The Trust shall dissolve on the first to
occur of: 
  
 (i) unless earlier dissolved, on
September 7, 2035, the expiration of the term of the Trust; 
  
 (ii) upon a Bankruptcy Event with respect to the Sponsor, the Trust or the Debenture Issuer; 
  
 (iii) (other than in connection with a merger, consolidation or similar transaction not prohibited by the Indenture, this Declaration or
the Guarantee, as the case may be) upon the filing of a certificate of dissolution or its equivalent with respect to the Sponsor, upon the consent of Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Securities voting together as a single class to

  

 26 








 file a certificate of cancellation with respect to the Trust or upon the revocation of the charter of the
Sponsor and the expiration of 90 days after the date of revocation without a reinstatement thereof; 
  
 (iv) upon the distribution of the Debentures to the Holders of the Securities; 
  
 (v) upon exercise of the right of the Holder of all of the
outstanding Common Securities to dissolve the Trust as provided in Annex I hereto; 
  
 (vi) upon the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Holder of the Common Securities, the Sponsor, the Trust or the Debenture
Issuer; 
  
 (vii) when all of the Securities
shall have been called for redemption and the amounts necessary for redemption thereof shall have been paid to the Holders in accordance with the terms of the Securities; or 
  
 (viii) before the issuance of any Securities, with the consent of all of the Trustees and the Sponsor.

  
 (b) As soon as is practicable after the occurrence of an event
referred to in Section 7.1(a), and after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Trust as required by applicable law, including of the Statutory Trust Act, and subject to the terms set forth in Annex I, the Institutional Trustee shall
terminate the Trust by filing a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State of the State of Connecticut. 
  
 (c) The provisions of Section 2.9 and Article IX shall survive the termination of the Trust. 
  
 ARTICLE VIII 
  
 TRANSFER OF INTERESTS 
  
 Section 8.1. General. 
  
 (a) Subject to Section 8.1(c), where Capital Securities are presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer or to
exchange them for an equal number of Capital Securities represented by different certificates, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange if its requirements for such transactions are met. To permit registrations of transfer and
exchanges, the Trust shall issue and the Institutional Trustee shall authenticate Capital Securities at the Registrar’s request. 
  
 (b) Upon issuance of the Common Securities, the Sponsor shall acquire and retain beneficial and record ownership of the Common Securities and for so long
as the Securities remain outstanding, the Sponsor shall maintain 100% ownership of the Common Securities; provided, however, that any permitted successor of the Sponsor, in its capacity as Debenture Issuer, under the Indenture that is
a U.S. Person may succeed to the Sponsor’s ownership of the Common Securities. 
  
 (c) Capital Securities may only be transferred, in whole or in part, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Declaration and in the terms of the Securities. To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, any transfer or purported transfer of any Security not made in accordance with this Declaration shall be null and void and will be deemed to be of no legal effect whatsoever and any such transferee shall be deemed not to be the
holder of such Capital Securities for any purpose, including but not limited to the receipt of Distributions on such Capital Securities, and such transferee shall be deemed to have no interest whatsoever in such Capital Securities. 
  

 27 








 (d) The Registrar shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities, which
will be effected without charge but only upon payment (with such indemnity as the Registrar may require) in respect of any tax or other governmental charges that may be imposed in relation to it. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any
Securities, the Registrar shall cause one or more new Securities of the same tenor to be issued in the name of the designated transferee or transferees. Every Security surrendered for registration of transfer shall be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by the Holder or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Security surrendered for registration of transfer shall be canceled by the Institutional Trustee
pursuant to Section 6.6. A transferee of a Security shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Holder hereunder upon the receipt by such transferee of a Security. By acceptance of a Security, each transferee shall be deemed
to have agreed to be bound by this Declaration. 
  
 (e) The Trust
shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of, or exchange any Securities during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Securities for redemption and ending at the close of business on
the earliest date on which the relevant notice of redemption is deemed to have been given to all Holders of the Securities to be redeemed, or (ii) to register the transfer or exchange of any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part,
except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. 
  
 Section 8.2. Transfer Procedures and Restrictions. 
  
 (a) The Capital Securities shall bear the Restricted Securities Legend, which shall not be removed unless there is delivered to the Trust such satisfactory evidence, which may include an opinion of counsel licensed to
practice law in the State of Connecticut, as may be reasonably required by the Trust, that neither the legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers thereof comply with the provisions of the
Securities Act. Upon provision of such satisfactory evidence, the Institutional Trustee, at the written direction of the Trust, shall authenticate and deliver Capital Securities that do not bear the legend. 
  
 (b) Except as permitted by Section 8.2(a), each Capital Security shall bear a
legend (the “Restricted Securities Legend”) in substantially the following form and a Capital Security shall not be transferred except in compliance with such legend, unless otherwise determined by the Sponsor, upon the advice of
counsel expert in securities law, in accordance with applicable law: 
  
 THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAW. NEITHER THIS SECURITY NOR ANY
INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION HEREIN MAY BE REOFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR UNLESS SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT. THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF AGREES TO OFFER, SELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THIS SECURITY ONLY (A) TO THE SPONSOR OR THE TRUST, (B) TO A PERSON WHOM THE SELLER REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A
QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144A SO LONG AS THIS SECURITY IS ELIGIBLE FOR RESALE PURSUANT TO RULE 144A IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 144A, (C) TO A NON-U.S. PERSON IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION IN

Liability.

this Declaration, the Guarantee and the terms of the Securities, the Sponsor 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 Securities
which shall be made solely from assets of the Trust; or 
  

 29 








 (ii) required to pay to the Trust or to any Holder of the Securities any deficit upon
dissolution of the Trust or otherwise. 
  
 (b) The Holder of the
Common Securities shall be liable for all of the debts and obligations of the Trust (other than with respect to the Securities) to the extent not satisfied out of the Trust’s assets. 
  
 (c) Pursuant to the Statutory Trust Act, the Holders of the Capital Securities shall be entitled to the same limitation of
personal liability extended to stockholders of private corporations for profit organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Connecticut. 
  
 Section 9.2. 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 Declaration or by law, except that an Indemnified Person shall be liable for any such 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, if selected by such Indemnified Person, has been selected by such Indemnified Person 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 Distributions to Holders of Securities might properly be paid. 
  
 Section 9.3. 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 Declaration shall not be liable to the Trust or to any other Covered Person for its good faith
reliance on the provisions of this Declaration. The provisions of this Declaration, 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 the Indemnified Person. 
  
 (b) Whenever in this Declaration 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, 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 Declaration or by applicable law. 
  

 30 








 Section 9.4. Indemnification. 
  
 (a) The Sponsor shall indemnify, to the full extent permitted by law, any
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 an Indemnified Person against expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), 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
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. 
  
 (b) The Sponsor shall indemnify, to the
full extent permitted by law, any 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 an Indemnified Person against expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) 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; provided, however, that no such indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such
Indemnified Person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Trust unless and only to the extent that 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 shall deem proper. 
  
 (c) To the extent that an 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 (a) and (b) of this Section 9.4, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified, to the full
extent permitted by law, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith. 
  
 (d) Any indemnification of an Administrator under paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 9.4 (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Sponsor only
as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the Indemnified Person is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b). Such determination shall
be made (i) by the Administrators by a majority vote of a Quorum consisting of such Administrators who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, (ii) if such a Quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, if a Quorum of disinterested
Administrators so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iii) by the Common Security Holder of the Trust. 
  
 (e) To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by an Indemnified Person in
defending a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 9.4 shall be paid by the Sponsor in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding
upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Sponsor as authorized in this Section 9.4. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no advance shall be made by the Sponsor if a determination is reasonably 
  

 31 








 and promptly made (i) by the Administrators by a majority vote of a Quorum of disinterested Administrators, (ii) if such
a Quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, if a quorum of disinterested Administrators so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion or (iii) by the Common Security Holder of the Trust, that, based upon the facts known to
the Administrators, counsel or the Common Security Holder at the time such determination is made, such 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 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 Administrators, independent legal counsel or
the Common Security Holder reasonably determine that such Indemnified Person deliberately breached his duty to the Trust or its Common or Capital Security Holders. 
  
 (f) Each Trustee, at the sole cost and expense of the Sponsor, retains the right to representation by counsel of its own
choosing in any action, suit or any other proceeding for which it is indemnified under paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 9.4, without affecting its right to indemnification hereunder or waiving any rights afforded to it under this Declaration
or applicable law. 
  
 (g) The indemnification and advancement of
expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other paragraphs of this Section 9.4 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
stockholders or disinterested directors of the Sponsor or Capital Security Holders of the Trust or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. All rights to indemnification
under this Section 9.4 shall be deemed to be provided by a contract between the Sponsor and each Indemnified Person who serves in such capacity at any time while this Section 9.4 is in effect. Any repeal or modification of this Section 9.4 shall not
affect any rights or obligations then existing. 
  
 (h) The
Sponsor or the Trust may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Person who is or was an 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 Sponsor would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Section 9.4. 
  
 (i) For purposes of this Section 9.4, 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 9.4 with respect to the resulting or surviving entity as he would have with respect to such
constituent entity if its separate existence had continued. 
  
 (j) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section 9.4 shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, (i) continue as to a Person who has ceased to be an Indemnified Person
and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a Person; and (ii) survive the termination or expiration of this Declaration or the earlier removal or resignation of an Indemnified Person. 
  
 Section 9.5. Outside Businesses. Any Covered Person, the
Sponsor and the Institutional 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
Securities shall have no rights by virtue of this Declaration in and to such independent ventures or the income or profits derived therefrom, and the pursuit of any such venture, even if 
  

 32 








 competitive with the business of the Trust, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper. None of any Covered Person, the
Sponsor or the Institutional Trustee shall 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 any Covered
Person, the Sponsor and the Institutional 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 and the
Institutional Trustee may engage or be interested in any financial or other transaction with the Sponsor or any Affiliate of the Sponsor, or may act as depositary for, trustee or agent for, or act on any committee or body of holders of, securities
or other obligations of the Sponsor or its Affiliates. 
  
 Section 9.6. Compensation; Fee. The Sponsor agrees: 
  
 (a) to pay to the Trustees from time to time such compensation for all services rendered by them hereunder as the parties shall agree from time to time (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law
in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust); and 
  
 (b) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustees upon request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustees in accordance with any provision of this Declaration
(including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of their respective agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

  
 The provisions of this Section 9.6 shall survive the
dissolution of the Trust and the termination of this Declaration and the removal or resignation of any Trustee. 
  
 No Trustee may claim any lien or charge on any property of the Trust as a result of any amount due pursuant to this Section 9.6.

States, as defined for purposes of Treasury regulations section 301.7701-7, full books of account, records and supporting documents, which shall reflect in reasonable detail each transaction of the Trust. The books of account shall be maintained, at
the Sponsor’s expense, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied. The books of account and the records of the Trust shall be examined by and reported upon as of the end of each Fiscal Year of the Trust by
a firm of independent certified public accountants selected by the Administrators. 
  
 (b) The Administrators, at the Sponsor’s expense, shall cause to be prepared at the principal office of the Trust in the United States, as defined for purposes of Treasury regulations section 301.7701-7, and
delivered to each of the Holders of Securities, within 90 days after the end of each Fiscal Year of the Trust, annual financial statements of the Trust, including a balance sheet of the Trust as of the end of 

  

 33 








 
such Fiscal Year, and the related statements of income or loss which shall be examined by and reported upon by a firm of independent certified public
accountants selected by the Administrators. 
  
 (c) The
Administrators shall cause to be duly prepared and delivered to each of the Holders of Securities Form 1099 or such other annual United States federal income tax information statement required by the Code, containing such information with regard to
the Securities held by each Holder as is required by the Code and the Treasury Regulations. Notwithstanding any right under the Code to deliver any such statement at a later date, the Administrators shall endeavor to deliver all such statements
within 30 days after the end of each Fiscal Year of the Trust. 
  
 (d) The Administrators, at the Sponsor’s expense, shall cause to be duly prepared at the principal office of the Trust in the United States, as defined for purposes of Treasury regulations section 301.7701-7, and filed an annual United
States federal income tax return on a Form 1041 or such other form required by United States federal income tax law, and any other annual income tax returns required to be filed by the Administrators on behalf of the Trust with any state or local

in respect of the Debentures held by the Institutional Trustee shall be made directly to the Property Account and no other funds of the Trust shall be deposited in the Property Account. The sole signatories for such accounts (including the Property
Account) shall be designated by the Institutional Trustee. 
  
 Section 10.4. Withholding. The Institutional Trustee or any Paying Agent and the Administrators shall comply with all withholding requirements under United States federal, state and local law. The Institutional Trustee or any

and forms as shall reasonably be requested by the Institutional Trustee or any Paying Agent to assist it in determining the extent of, and in fulfilling, its withholding obligations. The Administrators shall file required forms with applicable
jurisdictions and, unless an exemption from withholding is properly established by a Holder, shall remit amounts withheld with respect to the Holder to applicable jurisdictions. To the extent that the Institutional Trustee or any Paying Agent is
required to withhold and pay over any amounts to any authority with respect to distributions or allocations to any Holder, the amount withheld shall be deemed to be a Distribution in the amount of the withholding to the Holder. In the event of any
claimed overwithholding, Holders shall be limited to an action against the applicable jurisdiction. If the amount required to be withheld was not withheld from actual Distributions made, the Institutional Trustee or any Paying Agent may reduce
subsequent Distributions by the amount of such withholding.

company” under the Investment Company Act (including without limitation to conform to any change in Rule 3a-5, Rule 3a-7 or any other applicable rule under the Investment Company Act or written change in interpretation or application thereof by
any legislative body, court, government agency or regulatory authority) which amendment does not have a material adverse effect on the rights, preferences or privileges of the Holders of Securities;

Administrators shall call a meeting of the Holders of such class if directed to do so by the Holders of at least 10% in liquidation amount of such class of Securities. Such direction shall be given by delivering to the Administrators one or more
calls in a writing stating that the signing Holders of the Securities wish to call a meeting and indicating the general or specific purpose for which the meeting is to be called. Any Holders of the Securities calling a meeting shall specify in
writing the Certificates held by the Holders of the Securities exercising the right to call a meeting and only those Securities represented by such Certificates shall be counted for purposes of determining whether the required percentage set forth

 (b)
Except to the extent otherwise provided in the terms of the Securities, the following provisions shall apply to meetings of Holders of the Securities: 
  
 (i) notice of any such meeting shall be given to all the Holders of the Securities having a right to vote thereat at least 7 days and not
more than 60 days before the date of such meeting. Whenever a vote, consent or approval of the Holders of the Securities is permitted or required under this Declaration, such vote, consent or approval may be given at a meeting of the Holders of the
Securities. Any action that may be taken at a meeting of the Holders of the Securities may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing setting forth the action so taken is signed by the Holders of the Securities owning not less than the
minimum amount of Securities in liquidation amount that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all Holders of the Securities having a right to vote thereon were present and voting. Prompt notice of the taking of
action without a meeting shall be given to the Holders of the Securities entitled to vote who have not consented in writing. The Administrators may specify that any written ballot submitted to the Holders of the Securities for the purpose of taking
any action without a meeting shall be returned to the Trust within the time specified by the Administrators; 
  
 (ii) each Holder of a Security may authorize any Person to act for it by proxy on all matters in which a Holder of 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 the proxy. Every proxy shall be revocable
at the pleasure of the Holder of the 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 Connecticut
relating to proxies, and judicial interpretations thereunder, as if the Trust were a Connecticut corporation and the Holders of the 
  

 36 








 Securities were stockholders of a Connecticut corporation; each meeting of the Holders of the Securities
shall be conducted by the Administrators or by such other Person that the Administrators may designate; and 
  
 (iii) unless the Statutory Trust Act, this Declaration, or the terms of the Securities otherwise provides, the Administrators, in their
sole discretion, shall establish all other provisions relating to meetings of Holders of Securities, including notice of the time, place or purpose of any meeting at which any matter is to be voted on by any Holders of the Securities, waiver of any
such notice, action by consent without a meeting, the establishment of a record date, quorum requirements, voting in person or by proxy or any other matter with respect to the exercise of any such right to vote; provided, however, that
each meeting shall be conducted in the United States (as that term is defined in Treasury regulations section 301.7701-7).

 ANNEX I 
  
 TERMS OF SECURITIES 
  
 Pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust, dated as of September 7, 2000 (as amended from time to time, the
“Declaration”), the designation, rights, privileges, restrictions, preferences and other terms and provisions of the Capital Securities and the Common Securities are set out below (each capitalized term used but not defined herein has the
meaning set forth in the Declaration): 
  
 1. Designation and
Number. 
  
 (a) 10,000 Capital Securities of CenBank
Statutory Trust I (the “Trust”), with an aggregate stated liquidation amount with respect to the assets of the Trust of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) and a stated liquidation amount with respect to the assets of the Trust of $1,000 per
Capital Security, are hereby designated for the purposes of identification only as the “Capital Securities”. The Capital Security Certificates evidencing the Capital Securities shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 to
the Declaration, with such changes and additions thereto or deletions therefrom as may be required by ordinary usage, custom or practice. 
  
 (b) 310 Common Securities of the Trust (the “Common Securities”) will be evidenced by Common Security Certificates substantially in the
form of Exhibit A-2 to the Declaration, with such changes and additions thereto or deletions therefrom as may be required by ordinary usage, custom or practice. 
  

2. Distributions. 
  
 (a) Distributions payable on each Security will be payable at an annual rate equal to 10.60% (the “Coupon Rate”) of the stated
liquidation amount of $1,000 per Security, such rate being the rate of interest payable on the Debentures to be held by the Institutional Trustee. Distributions in arrears for more than one semi-annual period will bear interest thereon compounded
semi-annually at the Coupon Rate (to the extent permitted by law). A Distribution is payable only to the extent that payments are made in respect of the Debentures held by the Institutional Trustee and to the extent the Institutional Trustee has
funds available therefor. The amount of Distributions payable for any period will be computed for any full semi-annual period on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 
  
 (b) Distributions on the Securities will be cumulative, will accrue from the date of original issuance, and will be payable,
subject to extension of distribution payment periods as described herein, semi-annually in arrears on March 7 and September 7 of each year, commencing on March 7, 2001 (each a “Distribution Payment Date”) when, as and if available
for payment. The Debenture Issuer has the right under the Indenture to defer payments of interest on the Debentures, so long as no Indenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, by deferring the payment of interest on the Debentures for
up to 10 consecutive semi-annual periods (each an “Extension Period”) at any time and from time to time, subject to the conditions described below, although such interest would continue to accrue on the Debentures at the Coupon Rate
compounded semi-annually (to the extent permitted by law) during any Extension Period. No Extension Period may end on a date other than a Distribution Payment Date. At the end of any such Extension Period the Debenture Issuer shall pay all interest
then accrued and unpaid on the Debentures (together with Additional Interest thereon); provided, however, that no Extension Period may extend beyond the Maturity Date and provided further, however, during any such
Extension Period, the Debenture Issuer and its Affiliates shall not (i) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire, or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of the Debenture Issuer’s or its
Affiliates’ capital stock (other than payments of dividends or distributions to the Debenture 

  

 C-1 








 
Issuer) or make any guarantee payments with respect to the foregoing, or (ii) make any payment of principal of or interest or premium, if any, on or repay,
repurchase or redeem any debt securities of the Debenture Issuer or any Affiliate that rank pari passu in all respects with or junior in interest to the Debentures (other than, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, (a) repurchases,
redemptions or other acquisitions of shares of capital stock of the Debenture Issuer in connection with any employment contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of one or more employees, officers, directors or
consultants, in connection with a dividend reinvestment or stockholder stock purchase plan or in connection with the issuance of capital stock of the Debenture Issuer (or securities convertible into or exercisable for such capital stock) as
consideration in an acquisition transaction entered into prior to the applicable Extension Period, (b) as a result of any exchange or conversion of any class or series of the Debenture Issuer’s capital stock (or any capital stock of a
subsidiary of the Debenture Issuer) for any class or series of the Debenture Issuer’s capital stock or of any class or series of the Debenture Issuer’s indebtedness for any class or series of the Debenture Issuer’s capital stock, (c)
the purchase of fractional interests in shares of the Debenture Issuer’s capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such capital stock or the security being converted or exchanged, (d) any declaration of a dividend in
connection with any stockholder’s rights plan, or the issuance of rights, stock or other property under any stockholder’s rights plan, or the redemption or repurchase of rights pursuant thereto, (e) any dividend in the form of stock,
warrants, options or other rights where the dividend stock or the stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants, options or other rights is the same stock as that on which the dividend is being paid or ranks pari passu with or junior to such
stock and any cash payments in lieu of fractional shares issued in connection therewith, or (f) payments under the Capital Securities Guarantee). Prior to the termination of any Extension Period, the Debenture Issuer may further extend such period,
provided that such period together with all such previous and further consecutive extensions thereof shall not exceed 10 consecutive semi-annual periods, or extend beyond the Maturity Date. Upon the termination of any Extension Period and upon the
payment of all accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, the Debenture Issuer may commence a new Extension Period, subject to the foregoing requirements. No interest or Additional Interest shall be due and payable during an Extension
Period, except at the end thereof, but each installment of interest that would otherwise have been due and payable during such Extension Period shall bear Additional Interest. If Distributions are deferred, the Distributions due shall be paid on the
date that the related Extension Period terminates, to Holders of the Securities as they appear on the books and records of the Trust on the record date immediately preceding such date. Distributions on the Securities must be paid on the dates
payable (after giving effect to any Extension Period) to the extent that the Trust has funds available for the payment of such distributions in the Property Account of the Trust. The Trust’s funds available for Distribution to the Holders of
the Securities will be limited to payments received from the Debenture Issuer. The payment of Distributions out of moneys held by the Trust is guaranteed by the Guarantor pursuant to the Guarantee. 
  
 (c) Distributions on the Securities will be payable to the Holders thereof as
they appear on the books and records of the Trust on the relevant record dates. The relevant record dates shall be 15 days before the relevant Distribution Payment Date. Distributions payable on any Securities that are not punctually paid on any
Distribution Payment Date, as a result of the Debenture Issuer having failed to make a payment under the Debentures, as the case may be, when due (taking into account any Extension Period), will cease to be payable to the Person in whose name such
Securities are registered on the relevant record date, and such defaulted Distribution will instead be payable to the Person in whose name such Securities are registered on the special record date or other specified date determined in accordance
with the Indenture. If any date on which Distributions are payable on the Securities is not a Business Day, then payment of the Distribution payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any
interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) except that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as
if made on such payment date. 
  

 C-2 








 (d) In the event that there is any money or other property held by or for the Trust that is not accounted
for hereunder, such property shall be distributed Pro Rata (as defined herein) among the Holders of the Securities. 
  
 3. Liquidation Distribution Upon Dissolution. In the event of the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, winding-up or termination of
the Trust (each a “Liquidation”) other than in connection with a redemption of the Debentures, the Holders of the Securities will be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Trust available for distribution to Holders of the
Securities, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Trust (to the extent not satisfied by the Debenture Issuer), distributions equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate of the stated liquidation amount of $ 1,000 per Security plus
accrued and unpaid Distributions thereon to the date of payment, to the extent the Trust shall have funds available therefor, and (ii) the amount of assets of the Trust remaining available for distribution to Holders in liquidation of the Trust
(such amount being, in either case, the “Liquidation Distribution”), unless in connection with such Liquidation, the Debentures in aggregate stated principal amount equal to the aggregate stated liquidation amount of such
Securities, with an interest rate equal to the Coupon Rate of, and bearing accrued and unpaid interest in an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Distributions on, and having the same record date as, such Securities, after paying or making
reasonable provision to pay all claims and obligations of the Trust in accordance with the Statutory Trust Act, shall be distributed on a Pro Rata basis to the Holders of the Securities in exchange for such Securities. 
  
 The Sponsor, as the Holder of all of the Common Securities, has the right at
any time to dissolve the Trust (including, without limitation, upon the occurrence of a Special Event), subject to the receipt by the Debenture Issuer of prior approval from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal
Reserve”), if then required under applicable capital guidelines or policies of the Federal Reserve and, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Trust, cause the Debentures to be distributed to the Holders of the Securities on
a Pro Rata basis in accordance with the aggregate stated liquidation amount thereof. 
  
 If a Liquidation of the Trust occurs as described in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (v) in Section 7.1(a) of the Declaration, the Trust shall be liquidated by the Trustees of the Trust as expeditiously as such Trustees
determine to be possible by distributing, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Trust, to the Holders of the Securities, the Debentures on a Pro Rata basis to the extent not satisfied by the Debenture Issuer, unless such distribution
is determined by the Institutional Trustee not to be practical, in which event such Holders will be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Trust available for distribution to the Holders, after satisfaction of liabilities of creditors of the
Trust to the extent not satisfied by the Debenture Issuer, an amount equal to the Liquidation Distribution. An early Liquidation of the Trust pursuant to clause (iv) of Section 7.1(a) of the Declaration shall occur if the, Institutional Trustee
determines that such Liquidation is possible by distributing, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of Trust, to the Holders of the Securities on a Pro Rata basis, the Debentures, and such distribution occurs. 
  
 If, upon any such Liquidation the Liquidation Distribution can be paid only
in part because the Trust has insufficient assets available to pay in full the aggregate Liquidation Distribution, then the amounts payable directly by the Trust on such Capital Securities shall be paid to the Holders of the Trust Securities on a
Pro Rata basis, except that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Capital Securities shall have a preference over the Common Securities with regard to such distributions. 
  
 After the date for any distribution of the Debentures upon dissolution of the
Trust (i) the Securities of the Trust will be deemed to be no longer outstanding, (ii) the Holders of the Capital Securities will receive certificates representing the Debentures to be delivered upon such distribution, and (iii) any certificates
representing the Capital Securities still outstanding will be deemed to represent undivided beneficial interests in such of the Debentures as have an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate stated liquidation amount with an interest rate
identical to the distribution rate of, and 

  

 C-3 








 
bearing accrued and unpaid interest equal to accrued and unpaid distributions on, the Securities until such certificates are presented to the Debenture
Issuer or its agent for transfer or reissuance. 
  
 4.
Redemption and Distribution. 
  
 (a) The Debentures will
mature on September 7, 2030. The Debentures may be redeemed by the Debenture Issuer, in whole or in part at any time and from time to time on or after September 7, 2010, at the Redemption Price. In addition, the Debentures may be redeemed by the
Debenture Issuer at the Special Redemption Price, in whole but not in part, at any time, upon the occurrence and continuation of a Special Event within 90 days following the occurrence of such Special Event at the Special Redemption Price, upon not
less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice to holders of such Debentures so long as such Special Event is continuing. In each case, the right of the Debenture Issuer to redeem the Debentures is subject to the Debenture Issuer having received
prior approval from the Federal Reserve, if then required under applicable capital guidelines or policies of the Federal Reserve. The Sponsor shall appoint a Quotation Agent, which initially shall be State Street Bank and Trust Company, for the
purpose of performing the services contemplated in, or by reference in, the definition of Special Redemption Price. Any error in the calculation of the Special Redemption Price by the Quotation Agent or the Debenture Trustee may be corrected at any
time by notice delivered to the Sponsor and the holders of the Capital Securities. Subject to the corrective rights set forth above, all certificates, communications, opinions, determinations, calculations, quotations and decisions given, expressed,
made or obtained for the purposes of the provisions relating to the payment and calculation of the Special Redemption Price on the Debt Securities or the Capital Securities by the Debenture Trustee, the Quotation Agent or the Institutional Trustee,
as the case may be, shall (in the absence of willful default, bad faith or manifest error) be final, conclusive and binding on the holders of the Debt Securities and the Capital Securities, the Trust and the Sponsor, and no liability shall attach
(except as provided above) to the Debenture Trustee, the Quotation Agent or the Institutional Trustee in connection with the exercise or non-exercise by any of them of their respective powers, duties and discretion. 
  
 “Tax Event” means the receipt by the Debenture Issuer and
the Trust of an opinion of counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that, as a result of any amendment to or change (including any announced prospective change) in the laws or any regulations thereunder of the United States or any political
subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, or as a result of any official administrative pronouncement (including any private letter ruling, technical advice memorandum, field service advice, regulatory procedure, notice or announcement
including any notice or announcement of intent to adopt such procedures or regulations (an “Administrative Action”)) or judicial decision interpreting or applying such laws or regulations, regardless of whether such Administrative
Action or judicial decision is issued to or in connection with a proceeding involving the Debenture Issuer or the Trust and whether or not subject to review or appeal, which amendment, clarification, change, Administrative Action or decision is
enacted, promulgated or announced, in each case on or after the date of issuance of the Debentures, there is more than an insubstantial risk that: (i) the Trust is, or will be within 90 days of the date of such opinion, subject to United States
federal income tax with respect to income received or accrued on the Debentures; (ii) interest payable by the Debenture Issuer on the Debentures is not, or within 90 days of the date of such opinion, will not be, deductible by the Debenture Issuer,
in whole or in part, for United States federal income tax purposes; or (iii) the Trust is, or will be within 90 days of the date of such opinion, subject to more than a de minimis amount of other taxes, duties or other governmental charges.

  
 “Investment Company Event” means the receipt
by the Debenture Issuer and the Trust of an opinion of counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that, as a result of the occurrence of a change in law or regulation or written change (including any announced prospective change) in
interpretation or application of law or regulation by any legislative body, court, governmental agency or regulatory authority, there is more than an insubstantial risk that the Trust is or will be considered an “Investment Company” that
is required to be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended which change or prospective change becomes effective or would become effective, as the case may be, on or after the date of the issuance of the Debentures. 

 

 C-4 








 “Capital Treatment Event” means the receipt by the Debenture Issuer and the Trust of an
opinion of counsel that, as a result of the occurrence of any amendment to, or change (including any announced prospective change) in, the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof or therein, or as the result of any official or
administrative pronouncement or action or decision interpreting or applying such laws, rules or regulations, which amendment or change is effective or which pronouncement, action or decision is announced on or after the date of issuance of the
Debentures, there is more than an insubstantial risk that the Sponsor will not be entitled to treat an amount equal to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Debentures as “Tier 1 Capital” (or the then equivalent thereof) for purposes of
the capital adequacy guidelines of the Federal Reserve, as then in effect and applicable to the Sponsor; provided, however, that the inability of the Sponsor to treat all or any portion of the liquidation amount of the Debentures as
Tier l Capital shall not constitute the basis for a Capital Treatment Event, if such inability results from the Sponsor having cumulative preferred stock, minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries, or any other class of security or interest
which the Federal Reserve may now or hereinafter accord Tier 1 Capital treatment in excess of the amount which may qualify for treatment as Tier 1 Capital under applicable capital adequacy guidelines for the Federal Reserve; provided
further, however, that the distribution of Debentures in connection with the Liquidation of the Trust shall not in and of itself constitute a Capital Treatment Event unless such Liquidation shall have occurred in connection with a Tax
Event or an Investment Company Event. 
  
 “Special
Event” means a Tax Event, an Investment Company Event or a Capital Treatment Event. 
  
 “Redemption Price” means the price set forth in the following table for any Redemption Date that occurs within the twelve-month period beginning in the relevant year indicated below, expressed as the
percentage of the principal amount of the Debentures being redeemed: 
  

				
	 Year Beginning on

 plus accrued and unpaid interest on
such Debentures to the Redemption Date. 
  
 “Special
Redemption Date” means a Redemption Date on which a Special Event redemption occurs. 
  

 C-5 








 “Special Redemption Price” means (a) if the Special Redemption Date is before September

principal amount of the Debentures set forth in the above Redemption Price table for the September 7, 2010 Redemption Date and the present value of interest payable on the Debentures from such Special Redemption Date to September 7, 2010 (the
“Remaining Life”), each discounted to the Special Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months at the Treasury Rate), plus (B) accrued and unpaid interest on the Debentures to
such Special Redemption Date, or (b) if the Special Redemption Date is on or after September 7, 2010, the price for the Debentures set forth in the above Redemption Price table for such Special Redemption Date. 
  
 “Comparable Treasury Issue” means with respect to any
Special Redemption Date the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the Remaining Life that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice,
in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the Remaining Life. If no United States Treasury security has a maturity which is within a period from 3 months before to 3 months after September 7, 2010, the two most
closely corresponding United States Treasury securities as selected by the Quotation Agent shall be used as the Comparable Treasury Issue, and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated on a straight-line basis, rounding to the nearest
month using such securities. 
  
 “Comparable Treasury
Price” means (a) the average of 5 Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Special Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (b) if the Quotation Agent obtains fewer than 5
such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Quotations. 
  
 “Primary Treasury Dealer” shall mean either a primary United States Government securities dealer or an entity of nationally recognized stock in matters pertaining to the quotation of treasury
securities that is reasonably acceptable to the Sponsor and the Institutional Trustee.

 “Redemption Date” shall mean the date fixed for the redemption of Capital Securities, which shall be March 7 or September 7 commencing September 7, 2010. 
  
 “Reference Treasury Dealer” means (i) the Quotation Agent and (ii) any other Primary Treasury Dealer
selected by the Debenture Trustee after consultation with the Debenture Issuer. 
  
 “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Special Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Quotation Agent, of the bid and asked
prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Debenture Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day
preceding such Redemption Date. 
  
 “Treasury
Rate” means (i) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the week immediately prior to the date of calculation, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated H.15(519) or any successor
publication which is published weekly by the Federal Reserve and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities”, for the maturity
corresponding to the Remaining Life 

  

 C-6 








 
(if no maturity is within 3 months before or after the Remaining Life, yields for the 2 published maturities most closely corresponding to the Remaining Life
shall be determined and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis, rounding to the nearest month) or (ii) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding
the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of
its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Special Redemption Date. The Treasury Rate shall be calculated by the Quotation Agent on the third Business Day preceding the Special Redemption Date. 
  
 (b) Upon the repayment in full at maturity or redemption in whole or in part
of the Debentures (other than following the distribution of the Debentures to the Holders of the Securities), the proceeds from such repayment or payment shall concurrently be applied to redeem Pro Rata at the applicable Redemption Price or Special
Redemption Price, as applicable, Securities having an aggregate liquidation amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures so repaid or redeemed; provided, however, that holders of such Securities shall be given not
less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice of such redemption (other than at the scheduled maturity of the Debentures). 
  
 (c) If fewer than all the outstanding Securities are to be so redeemed, the Common Securities and the Capital Securities will be redeemed Pro Rata and the
Capital Securities to be redeemed will be redeemed Pro Rata from each Holder of Capital Securities. 
  
 (d) The Trust may not redeem fewer than all the outstanding Capital Securities unless all accrued and unpaid Distributions have been paid on all Capital
Securities for all semi-annual Distribution periods terminating on or before the date of redemption. 
  
 (e) Redemption or Distribution Procedures. 
  
 (i) Notice of any redemption of or notice of distribution of the Debentures in exchange for, the Securities (a
“Redemption/Distribution Notice”) will be given by the Trust by mail to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed or exchanged not fewer than 30 nor more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption or exchange thereof which, in
the case of a redemption, will be the date fixed for redemption of the Debentures. For purposes of the calculation of the date of redemption or exchange and the dates on which notices are given pursuant to this paragraph 4(e)(i), a
Redemption/Distribution Notice shall be deemed to be given on the day such notice is first mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to Holders of such Securities. Each Redemption/Distribution Notice shall be addressed to the Holders of such
Securities at the address of each such Holder appearing on the books and records of the Trust. No defect in the Redemption/Distribution Notice or in the mailing thereof with respect to any Holder shall affect the validity of the redemption or
exchange proceedings with respect to any other Holder. 
  
 (ii) If the Securities are to be redeemed and the Trust gives a Redemption/ Distribution Notice, which notice may only be issued if the Debentures are redeemed as set out in this paragraph 4 (which notice will be irrevocable), then,
provided that the Institutional Trustee has a sufficient amount of cash in connection with the related redemption or maturity of the Debentures, the Institutional Trustee will pay the relevant Redemption Price or Special Redemption Price, as
applicable, to the Holders of such Securities by check mailed to the address of each such Holder appearing on the books and records of the Trust on the redemption date. If a Redemption/Distribution Notice shall have been given and funds deposited as
required then immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such deposit Distributions will cease to accrue on the Securities so called for redemption and all rights of Holders of such Securities so 

  

 C-7 








 
called for redemption will cease, except the right of the Holders of such Securities to receive the applicable Redemption Price or Special Redemption Price
specified in paragraph 4(a), but without interest on such Redemption Price or Special Redemption Price. If any date fixed for redemption of Securities is not a Business Day, then payment of any such Redemption Price or Special Redemption Price
payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) except that, if such Business Day falls in the next calendar year, such payment will be made
on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on such date fixed for redemption. If payment of the Redemption Price or Special Redemption Price in respect of any Securities is improperly withheld
or refused and not paid either by the Trust or by the Debenture Issuer as guarantor pursuant to the Guarantee, Distributions on such Securities will continue to accrue at the Coupon Rate from the original redemption date to the actual date of
payment, in which case the actual payment date will be considered the date fixed for redemption for purposes of calculating the Redemption Price or Special Redemption Price. In the event of any redemption of the Capital Securities issued by the
Trust in part, the Trust shall not be required to (i) issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any selection for redemption of the Capital Securities and ending at
the close of business on the earliest date on which the relevant notice of redemption is deemed to have been given to all Holders of the Capital Securities to be so redeemed or (ii) register the transfer of or exchange any Capital Securities so
selected for redemption, in whole or in part except for the unredeemed portion of any Capital Securities being redeemed in part. 
  
 (iii) Redemption/Distribution Notices shall be sent by the Administrators on behalf of the Trust to (A) in respect of the Capital
Securities, the Holders thereof and (B) in respect of the Common Securities, the Holder thereof. 
  
 5. Voting Rights - Capital Securities. 
  
 (a) Except as provided under paragraphs 5(b) and 7 and as otherwise required by law and the Declaration, the Holders of the Capital Securities will have
no voting rights. The Administrators are required to call a meeting of the Holders of the Capital Securities if directed to do so by Holders of at least 10% in liquidation amount of the Capital Securities. 
  
 (b) Subject to the requirements of obtaining a tax opinion by the
Institutional Trustee in certain circumstances set forth in the last sentence of this paragraph, the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Capital Securities, voting separately as a class, have the right to direct the time, method, and
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Institutional Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Institutional Trustee under the Declaration, including the right to direct the Institutional Trustee, as
holder of the Debentures, to (i) exercise the remedies available under the Indenture as the holder of the Debentures, (ii) waive any past default that is waivable under the Indenture, (iii) exercise any right to rescind or annul a declaration that
the principal of all the Debentures shall be due and payable or (iv) consent on behalf of all the Holders of the Capital Securities to any amendment, modification or termination of the Indenture or the Debentures where such consent shall be
required; provided, however, that, where a consent or action under the Indenture would require the consent or act of the holders of greater than a simple majority in aggregate principal amount of Debentures (a “Super
Majority”) affected thereby, the Institutional Trustee may only give such consent or take such action at the written direction of the Holders of at least the proportion in liquidation amount of the Capital Securities outstanding which the
relevant Super Majority represents of the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures outstanding. If the Institutional Trustee fails to enforce its rights under the Debentures after the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of such Capital
Securities have so directed the Institutional Trustee, to the fullest extent permitted by law, a Holder of the Capital Securities may institute a legal proceeding directly against the Debenture Issuer to enforce the Institutional Trustee’s


  

 C-8 








 
rights under the Debentures without first instituting any legal proceeding against the Institutional Trustee or any other person or entity. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and such event is attributable to the failure of the Debenture Issuer to pay interest or principal on the Debentures on the date the interest or principal is payable (or in the
case of redemption, the redemption date), then a Holder of record of the Capital Securities may directly institute a proceeding for enforcement of payment on or after the respective due dates specified in the Debentures, to such Holder directly of
the principal of or interest on the Debentures having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Capital Securities of such Holder. The Institutional Trustee shall notify all Holders of the Capital Securities of
any default actually known to the Institutional Trustee with respect to the Debentures unless (x) such default has been cured prior to the giving of such notice or (y) the Institutional Trustee determines in good faith that the withholding of such
notice is in the interest of the Holders of such Capital Securities, except where the default relates to the payment of principal of or interest on any of the Debentures. Such notice shall state that such Indenture Event of Default also constitutes
an Event of Default hereunder. Except with respect to directing the time, method and place of conducting a proceeding for a remedy, the Institutional Trustee shall not take any of the actions described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above unless the
Institutional Trustee has obtained an opinion of tax counsel to the effect that, as a result of such action, the Trust will not be classified as other than a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes. 
  
 In the event the consent of the Institutional Trustee, as the holder of the
Debentures is required under the Indenture with respect to any amendment, modification or termination of the Indenture, the Institutional Trustee shall request the direction of the Holders of the 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 in liquidation amount of the Securities voting together as a single class; provided, however, that where a
consent under the Indenture would require the consent of a Super-Majority, the Institutional Trustee may only give such consent at the direction of the Holders of at least the proportion in liquidation amount of such Trust Securities outstanding
which the relevant Super-Majority represents of the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures outstanding. The Institutional Trustee shall not take any such action in accordance with the directions of the Holders of the Securities unless the
Institutional Trustee has obtained an opinion of tax counsel to the effect that, as a result of such action, the Trust will not be classified as other than a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes. 
  
 A waiver of an Indenture Event of Default will constitute a waiver of the
corresponding Event of Default hereunder. Any required approval or direction of Holders of the Capital Securities may be given at a separate meeting of Holders of the Capital Securities convened for such purpose, at a meeting of all of the Holders
of the Securities in the Trust or pursuant to written consent. The Institutional Trustee will cause a notice of any meeting at which Holders of the Capital Securities are entitled to vote, or of any matter upon which action by written consent of
such Holders is to be taken, to be mailed to each Holder of record of the Capital Securities. Each such notice will 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. No
vote or consent of the Holders of the Capital Securities will be required for the Trust to redeem and cancel Capital Securities or to distribute the Debentures in accordance with the Declaration and the terms of the Securities. 
  
 Notwithstanding that Holders of the Capital Securities are entitled to vote
or consent under any of the circumstances described above, any of the Capital Securities that are owned by the Sponsor or any Affiliate of the Sponsor shall not entitle the Holder thereof to vote or consent and shall, for purposes of such vote or
consent, be treated as if such Capital Securities were not outstanding. 
  

 C-9 








 In no event will Holders of the Capital Securities have the right to vote to appoint, remove or replace
the Administrators, which voting rights are vested exclusively in the Sponsor as the Holder of all of the Common Securities of the Trust. Under certain circumstances as more fully described in the Declaration, Holders of Capital Securities have the
right to vote to appoint, remove or replace the Institutional Trustee. 
  
 6. Voting Rights - Common Securities. 
  
 (a)
Except as provided under paragraphs 6(b), 6(c) and 7 and as otherwise required by law and the Declaration, the Common Securities will have no voting rights. 
  
 (b) The Holders of the Common Securities are entitled, in accordance with Article IV of the Declaration, to vote to appoint, remove or replace any
Administrators. 
  
 (c) Subject to Section 6.7 of the Declaration
and only after each Event of Default (if any) with respect to the Capital Securities has been cured, waived, or otherwise eliminated and subject to the requirements of the second to last sentence of this paragraph, the Holders of a Majority in
liquidation amount of the Common Securities, voting separately as a class, may direct the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Institutional Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the
Institutional Trustee under the Declaration, including (i) directing the time, method, place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Debenture Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Debenture Trustee with
respect to the Debentures, (ii) waive any past default and its consequences that is waivable under the Indenture, or (iii) exercise any right to rescind or annul a declaration that the principal of all the Debentures shall be due and payable;
provided, however, that, where a consent or action under the Indenture would require a Super Majority, the Institutional Trustee may only give such consent or take such action at the written direction of the Holders of at least the
proportion in liquidation amount of the Common Securities which the relevant Super Majority represents of the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures outstanding. Notwithstanding this paragraph 6(c), the Institutional Trustee shall not revoke
any action previously authorized or approved by a vote or consent of the Holders of the Capital Securities. Other than with respect to directing the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Institutional
Trustee or the Debenture Trustee as set forth above, the Institutional Trustee shall not take any action described in (i), (ii) or (iii) above, unless the Institutional Trustee has obtained an opinion of tax counsel to the effect that for the
purposes of United States federal income tax the Trust will not be classified as other than a grantor trust on account of such action. If the Institutional Trustee fails to enforce its rights under the Declaration to the fullest extent permitted by
law, any Holder of the Common Securities may institute a legal proceeding directly against any Person to enforce the Institutional Trustee’s rights under the Declaration, without first instituting a legal proceeding against the Institutional
Trustee or any other Person. 
  
 Any approval or direction of
Holders of the Common Securities may be given at a separate meeting of Holders of the Common Securities convened for such purpose, at a meeting of all of the Holders of the Securities in the Trust or pursuant to written consent. The Administrators
will cause a notice of any meeting at which Holders of the Common Securities are entitled to vote, or of any matter upon which action by written consent of such Holders is to be taken, to be mailed to each Holder of the Common Securities. Each such
notice will include a statement setting forth (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. 
  

 C-10 








 No vote or consent of the Holders of the Common Securities will be required for the Trust to redeem and
cancel Common Securities or to distribute the Debentures in accordance with the Declaration and the terms of the Securities. 
  
 7. Amendments to Declaration and Indenture. 
  
 (a) In addition to any requirements under Section 11.1 of the Declaration, if any proposed amendment to the Declaration provides for, or the Trustees,
Sponsor or Administrators otherwise propose to effect, (i) any action that would adversely affect the powers, preferences or special rights of the Securities, whether by way of amendment to the Declaration or otherwise, or (ii) the Liquidation of
the Trust, other than as described in Section 7.1 of the Declaration, then the Holders of outstanding Securities, voting together as a single class, will be entitled to vote on such amendment or proposal and such amendment or proposal shall not be
effective except with the approval of the Holders of at least a Majority in liquidation amount of the Securities, affected thereby; provided, however, if any amendment or proposal referred to in clause (i) above would adversely affect
only the Capital Securities or only the Common Securities, then only the affected class will be entitled to vote on such amendment or proposal and such amendment or proposal shall not be effective except with the approval of a Majority in
liquidation amount of such class of Securities. 
  
 (b) In the
event the consent of the Institutional Trustee as the holder of the Debentures is required under the Indenture with respect to any amendment, modification or termination of the Indenture or the Debentures, the Institutional Trustee shall request the
written direction of the Holders of the 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 in liquidation amount of the
Securities voting together as a single class; provided, however, that where a consent under the Indenture would require a Super Majority, the Institutional Trustee may only give such consent at the direction of the Holders of at least
the proportion in liquidation amount of the Securities which the relevant Super Majority represents of the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures outstanding. 
  
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment or modification may be made to the Declaration if such amendment or
modification would (i) cause the Trust to be classified for purposes of United States federal income taxation as other than a grantor trust, (ii) reduce or otherwise adversely affect the powers of the Institutional Trustee or (iii) cause the Trust
to be deemed an Investment Company which is required to be registered under the Investment Company Act. 
  
 (d) Notwithstanding any provision of the Declaration, the right of any Holder of the Capital Securities to receive payment of distributions and other
payments upon redemption or otherwise, on or after their respective due dates, or to institute a suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.
For the protection and enforcement of the foregoing provision, each and every Holder of the Capital Securities shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or equity. 
  
 8. Pro Rata. A reference in these terms of the Securities to any payment, distribution or treatment as being
“Pro Rata” shall mean pro rata to each Holder of the Securities according to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Securities held by the relevant Holder in relation to the aggregate liquidation amount of all Securities then outstanding
unless, in relation to a payment, an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case any funds available to make such payment shall be paid first to each Holder of the Capital Securities Pro Rata according to the aggregate liquidation
amount of the Capital Securities held by the relevant Holder relative to the aggregate liquidation amount of all Capital Securities outstanding, and only after satisfaction of all amounts owed to the Holders of the Capital Securities, to each Holder
of the Common Securities Pro Rata according to the aggregate 

  

 C-11 








 
liquidation amount of the Common Securities held by the relevant Holder relative to the aggregate liquidation amount of all Common Securities outstanding.

  
 9. Ranking. The Capital Securities rank pari
passu with and payment thereon shall be made Pro Rata with the Common Securities except that, where an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the rights of Holders of the Common Securities to receive payment of Distributions and
payments upon liquidation, redemption and otherwise are subordinated to the rights of the Holders of the Capital Securities with the result that no payment of any Distribution on, or Redemption Price of, any Common Security, and no other payment on
account of redemption, liquidation or other acquisition of Common Securities, shall be made unless payment in full in cash of all accumulated and unpaid Distributions on all outstanding Capital Securities for all distribution periods terminating on
or prior thereto, or in the case of payment of the Redemption Price the full amount of such Redemption Price on all outstanding Capital Securities then called for redemption, shall have been made or provided for, and all funds immediately available
to the Institutional Trustee shall first be applied to the payment in full in cash of all Distributions on, or the Redemption Price of, the Capital Securities then due and payable. 
  
 10. Acceptance of Guarantee and Indenture. Each Holder of the Capital Securities and the Common Securities, by the
acceptance of such Securities, agrees to the provisions of the Guarantee, including the subordination provisions therein and to the provisions of the Indenture. 
  

11. No Preemptive Rights. The Holders of the Securities shall have no preemptive or similar rights to subscribe for any additional securities.

  
 12. Miscellaneous. These terms constitute a part of the
Declaration. The Sponsor will provide a copy of the Declaration, the Guarantee, and the Indenture to a Holder without charge on written request to the Sponsor at its principal place of business.

 [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY] 
  
 Distributions payable on each Capital Security will be payable at an annual rate of 10.60% (the “Coupon Rate”) of
the stated liquidation amount of $1,000 per Capital Security, such rate being the rate of interest payable on the Debentures to be held by the Institutional Trustee. Distributions in arrears for more than a semi-annual period will bear interest
thereon compounded semi-annually at the Coupon Rate (to the extent permitted by applicable law). The term “Distributions” as used herein includes interest payments (including Additional Interest and principal on the Debentures held by the
Institutional Trustee) and any such compounded interest payable on the Debentures unless otherwise stated. A Distribution is payable only to the extent that payments are made in respect of the Debentures held by the Institutional Trustee and to the
extent the Institutional Trustee has funds available therefor. The amount of Distributions payable for any period will be computed for any full semi-annual Distribution period on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 
  
 Except as otherwise described below, Distributions on the Capital Securities
will be cumulative, will accrue from the date of original issuance and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on March 7 and September 7 of each year, commencing on March 7, 2001. The Debenture Issuer has the right under the Indenture to defer
payments of interest on the Debentures by extending the interest payment period for up to 10 consecutive semi-annual periods (each an “Extension Period”) on the Debentures, subject to the conditions described below, although such interest
would continue to accrue on the Debentures at an annual rate equal to the Coupon Rate compounded semi-annually to the extent permitted by law during any Extension Period. No Extension Period may end on a date other than an interest Payment Date. At
the end of any such Extension Period the Sponsor shall pay all interest then accrued and unpaid on the Debt Securities (together with Additional Interest thereon); provided, however, that no Extension Period may extend beyond the
Maturity Date. Prior to the termination of any Extension Period, the Sponsor may further extend such period, provided that such period together with all such previous and further consecutive extensions thereof shall not exceed 10 consecutive
semi-annual periods, or extend beyond the Maturity Date. Upon the termination of any Extension Period and upon the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, the Sponsor may commence a new Extension Period, subject to the
foregoing requirements. No interest or Additional Interest shall be due and payable during an Extension Period, except at the end thereof, but each installment of interest that would otherwise have been due and payable during such Extension Period
shall bear Additional Interest. If Distributions are deferred, the Distributions due shall be paid on the date that the related Extension Period terminates, to Holders of the Securities as they appear on the books and records of the Trust on the
record date immediately preceding such date. Distributions on the Securities must be paid on the dates payable (after giving effect to any Extension Period) to the extent that the Trust has funds available for the payment of such distributions in
the Property Account of the Trust. The Trust’s funds available for Distribution to the Holders of the Securities will be limited to payments received from the Debenture Issuer. The payment of Distributions out of moneys held by the Trust is
guaranteed by the Guarantor pursuant to the Guarantee. 
  
 The
Capital Securities shall be redeemable as provided in the Declaration.

 [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY] 
  
 Distributions payable on each Common Security will be identical in amount to the Distributions payable on each Capital
Security, which is at an annual rate of 10.60% (the “Coupon Rate”) of the stated liquidation amount of $1,000 per Capital Security, such rate being the rate of interest payable on the Debentures to be held by the Institutional Trustee.
Distributions in arrears for more than one period will bear interest thereon compounded at the Coupon Rate (to the extent permitted by applicable law). The term “Distributions” as used herein includes interest payments (including
Additional Interest and principal on the Debentures held by the Institutional Trustee) and any such compounded interest payable on the Debentures unless otherwise stated. A Distribution is payable only to the extent that payments are made in respect
of the Debentures held by the Institutional Trustee and to the extent the Institutional Trustee has funds available therefor. The amount of Distributions payable for any period will be computed for any full semi-annual Distribution period on 360-day
year of twelve 30-day months. 
  
 Except as otherwise described
below, Distributions on the Common Securities will be cumulative, will accrue from the date of original issuance and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on March 7 and September 7 of each year, commencing on March 7, 2001. The Debenture Issuer
has the right under the Indenture to defer payments of interest on the Debentures by extending the interest payment period for up to 10 consecutive semi-annual periods (each an “Extension Period”) on the Debentures, subject to the
conditions described below, although such interest would continue to accrue on the Debentures at an annual rate equal to the Coupon Rate compounded semi-annually to the extent permitted by law during any Extension Period. No Extension Period may end
on a date other than an Interest Payment Date. At the end of any such Extension Period the Sponsor shall pay all interest then accrued and unpaid on the Debt Securities (together with Additional Interest thereon); provided, however,
that no Extension Period may extend beyond the Maturity Date. Prior to the termination of any Extension Period, the Sponsor may further extend such period, provided that such period together with all such previous and further consecutive extensions
thereof shall not exceed 10 consecutive semi-annual periods, or extend beyond the Maturity Date. Upon the termination of any Extension Period and upon the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, the Sponsor may commence a
new Extension Period, subject to the foregoing requirements. No interest or Additional Interest shall be due and payable during an Extension Period, except at the end thereof, but each installment of interest that would otherwise have been due and
payable during such Extension Period shall bear Additional Interest. If Distributions are deferred, the Distributions due shall be paid on the date that the related Extension Period terminates, to Holders of the Securities as they appear on the
books and records of the Trust on the record date immediately preceding such date. Distributions on the Securities must be paid on the dates payable (after giving effect to any Extension Period) to the extent that the Trust has funds available for
the payment of such distributions in the Property Account of the Trust. The Trust’s funds available for Distribution to the Holders of the Securities will be limited to payments received from the Debenture Issuer. The payment of Distributions
out of moneys held by the Trust is guaranteed by the Guarantor pursuant to the Guarantee.
