electing to retire all or a portion of such Sponsor Affiliated Preferred HITS (the “Subject Preferred HITS”) through the exchange of such Subject Preferred HITS for a Like Amount of Notes and Stock Purchase Contracts. The Retirement Notice

 5 








 
HITS to the Securities Registrar or its designee on the Retirement Date, the Securities Registrar will provide written notice thereof to the Property Trustee and the Collateral Agent and the
Collateral Agent shall release Pledged Notes of a Like Amount from the Pledge and deliver them to the Property Trustee who shall distribute a Like Amount of Notes and Stock Purchase Contracts to the Sponsor Affiliated Owner designated by the Sponsor

Securities Registrar shall cancel the Subject Preferred HITS and such Subject Preferred HITS will no longer be Outstanding for any purpose and all rights of the Holder or its Affiliate(s) with respect to such Subject Preferred HITS will cease,
including, but not limited to, any rights with respect to accumulated but unpaid Distributions. 
 (b) In the event the Sponsor
elects to retire Subject Preferred HITS pursuant to Section 4.9(a), the Trust will, upon the prior written request of the Sponsor, on the Retirement Date for such Subject Preferred HITS, retire the Liquidation Amount of Outstanding Common
Securities held by the Sponsor equal to the product of (i) the total number of Common Securities held by the Sponsor immediately prior to such retirement and (ii) the quotient of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the applicable Subject
Preferred HITS and the aggregate Liquidation Amount of all Preferred HITS Outstanding immediately prior to such retirement, with such product being rounded to the nearest $1,000 (where rounding is applicable) (the “Subject Common
Securities”), through the exchange of such Subject Common Securities for a Like Amount of Notes and Stock Purchase Contracts; provided, that the Sponsor delivers or causes to be delivered to the Securities Registrar or its designee the
Subject Common Securities by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on such Retirement Date. Upon the delivery of the Subject Common Securities to the Securities Registrar or its designee on the Retirement Date, the Securities Registrar will provide

Stock Purchase Contracts to the Sponsor in the manner directed by the Sponsor to the Property Trustee in writing. Following the exchange of Subject Common Securities for a Like Amount of Notes and Stock Purchase Contracts, the Securities Registrar
shall cancel the Subject Common Securities and such Subject Common Securities will no longer be Outstanding for any purpose and all rights of Sponsor with respect to such Subject Common Securities will cease, including, but not limited to, any
rights with respect to accumulated but unpaid Distributions.

the Trust, acting singly or collectively, is hereby authorized to execute and deliver on behalf of the Trust, exchange agreements, cancellation letters, and any and all other documents, agreements, or certificates contemplated by or related to the

Person pursuant to 

  
 6 








 
Section 10.01 of the Base Indenture, any attempted transfer of the Common Securities other than to a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Sponsor or pursuant to Section 4.9 shall be

thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect transfers, redemptions, exchanges (including the Exchanges pursuant to Section 5.13) or cancellations (pursuant to Section 4.9). Any endorsement of a
Book-Entry HITS Certificate to reflect the number, or any increase or decrease in the number, of Outstanding HITS of the applicable Class represented thereby shall be made by the Securities Registrar (i) in such a manner and upon instructions

without the consent of any Holder of HITS, the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee (i) to cure any ambiguity, correct or supplement any provision herein that may be inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to make any other
provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Declaration, which shall not be inconsistent with the other provisions of this Declaration, (ii) to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of this Declaration to such extent
as shall be necessary to ensure that the Trust will not be taxable as a corporation or classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes at all times that any Trust Securities are outstanding, to ensure that the Trust will not be
required to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act or to ensure the treatment of the HITS as Tier 1 regulatory capital under the prevailing Federal Reserve rules and regulations, (iii) to provide that
HITS Certificates may be executed by a Regular Trustee by facsimile signature instead of manual signature, in which case such amendment(s) shall also provide for the appointment by the Sponsor of an authentication agent, the fees and expenses of
which will be paid by the Sponsor, a form of authentication certificate, and provisions to the effect that HITS Certificates that have been executed by a Regular Trustee by facsimile signature shall not be entitled to any benefit under the

Trustee; provided, further, that in the case of clause (iv), the Sponsor shall deliver to the Property Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (who may be
