 (ii) the Distributions payable on each Regular Distribution Date for the
related Distribution Period will be at a rate per annum applied to the Liquidation Amount per Normal PPS and Common Security equal to the Normal PPS Distribution Rate for such Distribution Period (with the consequence that the amount of the

from the Payment Account and shall be payable on each Distribution Date only to the extent that the Issuer Trust has funds then on hand and available in the Payment Account from the Corresponding Assets of such Class for the payment of such
Distributions. The Issuer Trust will have amounts to make full Distributions on the relevant Classes of Trust Securities in accordance with Sections 4.1(b), (c) and (d) on an applicable Distribution Date only if the Sponsor has not

accordingly, there is no outstanding Deferred Note Interest Amount or Deferred Contract Payment Amount. Deferred Note Interest Amounts and Deferred Contract Payment Amounts will be paid to Holders of the relevant Classes of Trust Securities on a
pro rata basis on the applicable Distribution Dates on which such amounts are received by the Issuer Trust (or as soon thereafter as the Property Trustee determines to be practicable). 

(f) In the event the Property Trustee or the Paying Agent receives any other cash or non-cash payments
or distributions with respect to Corresponding Assets for any Class of Trust Preferred Securities (including promissory notes of the Sponsor delivered pursuant to (i) Section 2.7(c) of the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement if there
are any Deferred Contract Payment Amounts outstanding on the Stock Purchase Date or (ii) Section 2.5(c) of the Indenture Supplement if there are any Deferred Note Interest Amounts outstanding on the Stock Purchase Date), the Property

distribute non-cash amounts on a pro rata basis (or on a basis that is as close as possible to a pro rata basis as it determines to be reasonably practicable). 

(g) Distributions in cash on the Trust Securities of a Class with respect to an applicable Distribution Date shall be payable to the
Holders thereof as they appear on the Securities Register for the Trust Securities at the close of business on the relevant record date for such Distribution Date, which shall be the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which the

defaulted Distributions. 
 Section 4.2 Redemption. 

(a) On each Preferred Stock Redemption Date, the Issuer Trust will be required to redeem a Like Amount of Normal PPS and Common Securities at
the Preferred Stock Redemption Price (it being understood and agreed that, because (i) the Preferred Stock will not become Trust Property until the Stock Purchase Date, and (ii) on the Stock Purchase Date, subject to Section 4.8, each
$1,000 Liquidation Amount of Stripped PPS will automatically become $1,000 Liquidation Amount of Normal PPS, without any action by or on behalf of Holders being necessary, no redemption of Normal PPS, Stripped PPS or Common Securities will occur
prior to the Stock Purchase Date). 

  
 -26- 

DECLARATION OF TRUST 













 (b) On each Note Redemption Date, the Issuer Trust will be required to redeem a Like Amount
of Capital PPS at the Note Redemption Price (it being understood and agreed that, because (i) the Notes by their terms are not redeemable prior to December 15, 2015, (ii) the Issuer Trust is required to redeem the Capital PPS in kind
after the Stock Purchase Date pursuant to Section 4.2(c) if there is a Successful Remarketing, and (iii) the Sponsor has the right to cause the Issuer Trust to redeem the Capital PPS in kind after the Stock Purchase Date pursuant to
Section 4.2 if there is a Failed Remarketing or if the Stock Purchase Contracts terminate, a redemption of Capital PPS other than in kind pursuant to such Section 4.2(c) will only occur after December 15, 2015 and only if there is a
Failed Remarketing and the Sponsor does not exercise its right to cause the Issuer Trust to redeem the Capital PPS in kind). 
 (c) If a
Successful Remarketing occurs, then promptly after the Remarketing Settlement Date the Issuer Trust shall redeem the Capital PPS, in whole but not in part, in kind by exchanging for each Capital PPS a Like Amount of Notes. If a Failed Remarketing
occurs but on the Stock Purchase Date there is no Deferred Note Interest Amount outstanding, then promptly after the Stock Purchase Date the Issuer Trust shall redeem the Capital PPS, in whole but not in part, in kind by exchanging for each Capital
PPS a Like Amount of Notes. If a Failed Remarketing occurs and there is a Deferred Note Interest Amount outstanding on the Stock Purchase Date, or if the Stock Purchase Contracts terminate in accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Contract
Agreement prior to a Stock Purchase Date occurring, then the Sponsor may instruct the Issuer Trust at any time thereafter when no Deferred Note Interest Amount is outstanding to redeem the Capital PPS, in whole but not in part, in kind by exchanging
for each Capital PPS a Like Amount of Notes. Any such redemption will be effected by Book-Entry Transfer of Notes in global form if the Notes then settle and clear through the Clearing Agency, and if the Notes do not then settle and clear through
the Clearing Agency by delivery of definitive certificates evidencing the Notes to the Holders of Capital PPS. 
 (d) Notice of redemption
shall be given by the Property Trustee by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 (or not less than 20 in the case of a redemption in kind pursuant to Section 4.2(c) after a Successful Remarketing) nor more than 60 days prior
to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Trust Securities to be redeemed, at such Holder’s address appearing in the Security Register. All notices of redemption shall state: 

(i) the Redemption Date; 

(ii) unless the redemption is a redemption of Capital PPS in kind pursuant to Section 4.2(c), the Redemption Price or if
the Redemption Price cannot be calculated prior to the time the notice is required to be sent, the estimate of the Redemption Price together with a statement that it is an estimate and that the actual Redemption Price will be calculated on the third
Business Day prior to the Redemption Date (and if an estimate is provided, a further notice shall be sent of the actual Redemption Price on the date that such Redemption Price is calculated); 

(iii) the CUSIP number or CUSIP numbers of the Trust Preferred Securities affected; 

(iv) if less than all the Outstanding Trust Securities are to be redeemed, the identification and the aggregate Liquidation
Amount of the particular Trust Securities of the relevant Class to be redeemed; 

  
 -27- 

DECLARATION OF TRUST 













 (v) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and
payable upon each such Trust Security to be redeemed and that Distributions thereon will cease to accumulate on and after said date, except as provided in Section 4.2(e)(ii) below; and 

(vi) if the Trust Preferred Securities Certificates are not Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificates on the
Redemption Date, the place or places where the Trust Preferred Securities Certificates are to be surrendered for the payment of the Redemption Price. 

(e) In the case of a redemption of Normal PPS and Common Securities pursuant to Section 4.2(a) or Capital PPS pursuant to
Section 4.2(b), in each case for payment of a cash Redemption Price: 
 (i) The Trust Securities redeemed on each
Redemption Date shall be redeemed at the Redemption Price with the proceeds from the contemporaneous redemption of a Like Amount of Preferred Stock or Notes, as applicable. Redemptions of the Trust Securities shall be made and the Redemption Price
shall be payable on each Redemption Date only to the extent that the Issuer Trust has funds then on hand and available in the Payment Account from the Sponsor’s redemption of Preferred Stock or Notes, as applicable, for the payment of such
Redemption Price. 
 (ii) If the Property Trustee gives a notice of redemption in respect of any Trust Preferred Securities,
then, by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Redemption Date, subject to Section 4.2(c), the Property Trustee or Paying Agent will, with respect to Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities, irrevocably deposit with the Clearing Agency for such
Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities, to the extent available therefor, funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price and will give such Clearing Agency irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Redemption Price to the Holders of
the Trust Preferred Securities. With respect to Trust Preferred Securities that are not Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities, the Property Trustee, subject to Section 4.2(e)(i), will irrevocably deposit with the Paying Agent, to the extent
available therefor, funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price and will give the Paying Agent irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Redemption Price to the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities upon surrender of their
Trust Preferred Securities Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Distributions payable on or prior to the Redemption Date for any Trust Securities called for redemption shall be payable to the Holders of such Trust Securities as they appear
on the Securities Register for the Trust Securities on the relevant record dates for the related Distribution Dates. If notice of redemption shall have been given and funds deposited as required, then upon the date of such deposit, all rights of
Holders holding Trust Securities so called for redemption will cease, except the right of such Holders to receive the Redemption Price and any Distribution payable in respect of the Trust Securities on or prior to the Redemption Date, but without
interest, and such Trust Securities will cease to be outstanding. In the event that payment of the Redemption Price in respect of any Trust Securities called for redemption is improperly withheld or refused and not paid either by the Issuer Trust or
by the Sponsor pursuant to the Guarantee Agreement, Distributions on such Trust Securities will continue to accumulate, as set forth in Section 4.1, from the Redemption Date originally established by the Issuer Trust for such Trust Securities
to the date such Redemption Price is actually paid, in which case the actual payment date will be the date fixed for redemption for purposes of calculating the Redemption Price.

 (iii) Subject to Section 4.3(a), if less than all the Outstanding
Normal PPS and Common Securities are to be redeemed on a Redemption Date, then the aggregate Liquidation Amount of Normal PPS and Common Securities to be redeemed shall be allocated pro rata to the Common Securities and the Normal PPS being
redeemed based upon the relative Liquidation Amounts of such classes. The particular Normal PPS to be redeemed shall be selected on a pro rata basis based upon their respective Liquidation Amounts not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption
Date by the Property Trustee from the Outstanding Normal PPS not previously called for redemption by any method the Property Trustee deems fair and appropriate, provided that so long as the Normal PPS are in book-entry form, such selection
shall be made in accordance with the customary procedures for the Clearing Agency for the Normal PPS. The Property Trustee shall promptly notify the Securities Registrar in writing of the Normal PPS selected for redemption and, in the case of any
Normal PPS selected for partial redemption, the Liquidation Amount thereof to be redeemed. For all purposes of this Declaration of Trust, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Normal PPS shall relate, in
the case of any Normal PPS redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of Normal PPS that has been or is to be redeemed. 

(iv) If less than all the Outstanding Capital PPS are to be redeemed on a Redemption Date, then the particular Capital PPS to
be redeemed shall be selected on a pro rata basis based upon their respective Liquidation Amounts not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Property Trustee from the Outstanding Capital PPS not previously called for redemption
by any method the Property Trustee deems fair and appropriate, provided that so long as the Capital PPS are in book-entry form, such selection shall be made in accordance with the customary procedures for the Clearing Agency for the Capital
PPS. The Property Trustee shall promptly notify the Securities Registrar in writing of the Capital PPS selected for redemption and, in the case of any Capital PPS selected for partial redemption, the Liquidation Amount thereof to be redeemed. For
all purposes of this Declaration of Trust, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Capital PPS shall relate, in the case of any Capital PPS redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the
aggregate Liquidation Amount of Capital PPS that has been or is to be redeemed. 
 Section 4.3 Subordination of
Common Securities. 
 (a) If on any Distribution Date the Paying Agent lacks funds available from payments of interest, dividends or
Contract Payments (as applicable) to make full Distributions then due on all of the outstanding Trust Securities in accordance with Section 4.1 (other than because of the Sponsor’s proper exercise of its right to (i) defer payment of
Contract Payments, resulting in Deferred Contract Payment Amounts, or (ii) defer payment of interest on the Notes, resulting in Deferred Note Interest Amounts), then: 

(i) if the deficiency in funds results from the Sponsor’s failure to make a full payment of interest on the Notes on an
interest payment date for the Notes, then the available funds from the Sponsor’s payment of interest on the Notes shall be applied first to make the Distributions then due on the Normal PPS and the Capital PPS on a pro rata basis on such
Distribution Date up to the amount of such Distributions corresponding to interest payments on the Notes (or, if less, the amount of the corresponding Distributions that would have been made on the Normal PPS and Capital PPS had the Sponsor made a
full payment of interest on the Notes) before any such amount is applied to make a Distribution on Common Securities on such Distribution Date; 
  

  
 -29- 

DECLARATION OF TRUST 













 (ii) if the deficiency in funds results from the Sponsor’s failure to
make a full payment of Contract Payments on the Stock Purchase Contracts on a payment date for Contract Payments, then the available funds from the Sponsor’s payment of Contract Payments shall be applied first to make Distributions then due on
the Normal PPS and the Stripped PPS on a pro rata basis on such Distribution Date up to the amount of such Distributions corresponding to the Contract Payments on the Stock Purchase Contracts (or, if less, the amount of the corresponding
Distributions that would have been made on the Normal PPS and the Stripped PPS had the Sponsor made a full payment of Contract Payments on the Stock Purchase Contracts) before any such amount is applied to make a Distribution on Common Securities on
such Distribution Date; and 
 (iii) if the deficiency in funds results from the Sponsor’s failure to pay a full
dividend on shares of Preferred Stock on a dividend payment date for the Preferred Stock, then the available funds from the Sponsor’s payment of dividends on the Preferred Stock shall be applied first to make Distributions then due on the
Normal PPS on a pro rata basis on such Distribution Date up to the amount of such Distributions corresponding to dividends on the Preferred Stock (or, if less, the amount of the corresponding Distributions that would have been made on the
Normal PPS and the Stripped PPS, if any, had the Sponsor paid a full dividend on the Preferred Stock) before any such amount is applied to make a Distribution on Common Securities on such Distribution Date. 

(b) If on any Redemption Date for a redemption pursuant to Section 4.2(a) the Paying Agent lacks funds available from the Sponsor’s
redemption of shares of Preferred Stock to pay the full Redemption Price then due on all of the outstanding Trust Securities to be redeemed in accordance with Section 4.2, then (i) the available funds shall be applied first to pay the
Redemption Price on the Trust Preferred Securities to be redeemed on such Redemption Date and (ii) Common Securities shall be redeemed only to the extent funds are available for such purpose after the payment of the full Redemption Price on the
Trust Preferred Securities to be redeemed, as aforesaid. 
 (c) If an Early Dissolution Event occurs, no Liquidation Distributions shall be
made on the Common Securities until full Liquidation Distributions have been made on each Class of Trust Preferred Securities in accordance with Section 9.4(d). 

(d) In the case of the occurrence of any Event of Default resulting from any Note Event of Default or Preferred Stock Default, the Holders of
the Common Securities shall have no right to act with respect to any such Event of Default under this Declaration of Trust until the effect of all such Events of Default with respect to the Trust Preferred Securities have been cured, waived or
otherwise eliminated. Until all such Events of Default under this Declaration of Trust with respect to the Trust Preferred Securities have been so cured, waived or otherwise eliminated, the Property Trustee shall act solely on behalf of the Holders
of the Trust Preferred Securities and not on behalf of the Holders of the Common Securities, and only the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities will have the right to direct the Property Trustee to act on their behalf.

The Administrative Trustees shall prepare (or cause to be prepared), at the Sponsor’s expense, and file all U.S. federal, state and local
tax and information returns and reports required to be filed by or in respect of the Issuer Trust. In this regard, the Administrative Trustees shall (a) prepare and file (or cause to be prepared and filed) all Internal Revenue Service forms
required to be filed in respect of the Issuer Trust in each taxable year of the Issuer Trust, and (b) prepare and furnish (or cause to be prepared and furnished) to each Holder all Internal Revenue Service forms required to be provided by the

withholding tax laws and information reporting requirements with respect to any payments to Holders under the Trust Securities. Such withholding or backup withholding (if any) shall be deducted from any payment and shall be considered as duly paid
under the terms of this Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust and the Trust Securities. 
 Section 4.6
Payment of Expenses of the Issuer Trust. 
 The Sponsor shall pay to the Issuer Trust, and reimburse the Issuer Trust for, the
full amount of any costs, expenses or liabilities of the Issuer Trust (other than obligations of the Issuer Trust to pay the Holders of any Trust Preferred Securities or other similar interests in the Issuer Trust the amounts due such Holders
pursuant to the terms of the Trust Preferred Securities or such other similar interests, as the case may be), including, without limitation, any taxes, duties or other governmental charges of whatever nature (other than withholding taxes) imposed on
the Issuer Trust by the United States or any other taxing authority. Such payment obligation includes any such costs, expenses or liabilities of the Issuer Trust that are required by applicable law to be satisfied in connection with a dissolution of
the Issuer Trust.

Any amount payable hereunder to any Holder of Trust Preferred Securities (or any Owner with respect thereto) shall be reduced by the amount of

 Section 4.8 Combination of Stripped PPS and Normal PPS after
Stock Purchase Date. 
 If either (x) there has been a Successful Remarketing or (y) there has been a Failed Remarketing but on
the Stock Purchase Date there is no Deferred Note Interest Amount outstanding (but in the case of each of clause (x) and (y) only if the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement is fully performed on the Stock Purchase Date), at the Securities
Registrar’s opening of business on the Business Day next succeeding the Stock Purchase Date each Stripped PPS with its $1,000 Liquidation Amount shall automatically be and become a Normal PPS with a $1,000 Liquidation Amount, and each Stripped
PPS Certificate (whether or not a Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificate) shall be deemed to represent a number of Normal PPS equal to the number of Stripped PPS represented by such Stripped PPS Certificate immediately prior to the
Securities Registrar’s opening of business on such date. If there has been a Failed Remarketing and on the Stock Purchase Date there is a Deferred Note Interest Amount outstanding, then Stripped PPS will continue to remain outstanding after the
Stock Purchase Date until the first date on which no Deferred Note Interest Amount is outstanding (including because any notes delivered pursuant to Section 2.5(c) of the Indenture Supplement have been fully paid) and, on the Business Day after
all Deferred Note Interest Amounts have been fully paid, each Stripped PPS with its $1,000 Liquidation Amount shall automatically be and become a Normal PPS with a $1,000 Liquidation Amount, and each Stripped PPS Certificate (whether or not a
Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificate) shall be deemed to represent a number of Normal PPS equal to the number of Stripped PPS represented by such Stripped PPS Certificate immediately prior to the Securities Registrar’s opening of
business on such date. On or after such date determined pursuant to either of the two preceding sentences, (a) upon surrender by a Holder of a Stripped PPS Certificate to the Securities Registrar, an Administrative Trustee shall execute and
deliver to the Securities Registrar (who shall then deliver to such Holder) a Normal PPS Certificate representing the appropriate number of Normal PPS, and the Securities Registrar shall enter such Holder as appropriate in the Securities Register
for the Normal PPS, and (b) as to Normal PPS and Stripped PPS represented by Book-Entry Preferred Securities, the Sponsor, the Administrative Trustees, the Property Trustee, the Securities Registrar and the Paying Agent shall cooperate in an
effort to cause the Stripped PPS to become Normal PPS in accordance with the rules and procedures of the applicable Clearing Agency (including, in the case of DTC if it is the Clearing Agency, adjustment if necessary or appropriate through
DTC’s Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian DWAC system).

behalf of the Issuer Trust by manual signature of at least one Administrative Trustee. Trust Securities Certificates bearing the manual signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures shall have been affixed, Administrative
Trustees shall be validly issued and entitled to the benefits of this Declaration of Trust, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be Administrative Trustees prior to the delivery of such Trust Securities
Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of delivery of such Trust Securities Certificates. A transferee of a Trust Securities Certificate shall become a Holder, and shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a

 Section 5.4 Registration of Transfer and Exchange of
Trust Preferred Securities Certificates. 
 The Administrative Trustees shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency

which the Securities Registrar, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, shall provide for the registration of Trust Preferred Securities Certificates and Common Securities Certificates (subject to Section 5.10 in the case of
the Common Securities Certificates) and registration of transfers and exchanges of Trust Preferred Securities Certificates as herein provided. The provisions of Sections 8.1 (other than (c), (d), (e)(i), (e)(iii) and (e)(vii) thereof), 8.3 (other
than (g) and (j) thereof) and 8.6 shall apply to the Securities Registrar in the same manner that by their terms they apply to the Property Trustee, mutatis mutandis, as modified by the terms of the letter agreement, dated October
25, 2006 (the “Agent Agreement”), by and among the Sponsor, the Administrative Trustees, the Securities Registrar and the Paying Agent, which is hereby incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof, and subject to the
rights, privileges and immunities of the Securities Registrar under the Collateral Agreement. The Administrative Trustees shall take such action as shall be necessary to ensure that at all times there is a Securities Registrar and that, through the
Stock Purchase Date, the same commercial bank or trust company is both Securities Registrar and Collateral Agent. By executing this Declaration of Trust, the Administrative Trustees appoint The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. as the initial
Securities Registrar. Subject to the second preceding sentence, the Administrative Trustees may dismiss the Securities Registrar and appoint a commercial bank or trust company to act as successor Securities Registrar. Any Person acting as Securities
Registrar shall be permitted to resign as Securities Registrar upon 30 days’ written notice to the Administrative Trustees and the Property Trustee.

DECLARATION OF TRUST 













 Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Trust Preferred Securities Certificate at
the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 5.8, the Administrative Trustees or any one of them shall execute on behalf of the Issuer Trust and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Trust
Preferred Securities Certificates in authorized denominations of a like aggregate Liquidation Amount dated the date of execution by such Administrative Trustee or Trustees. At the option of a Holder, Trust Preferred Securities Certificates may be
exchanged for other Trust Preferred Securities Certificates in authorized denominations of the same class and of a like aggregate Liquidation Amount upon surrender of the Trust Preferred Securities Certificates to be exchanged at the office or
agency maintained pursuant to Section 5.8. Neither the Issuer Trust nor the Securities Registrar shall be required, pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.4, (a) to register the transfer of or exchange any Trust Preferred
Security during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of selection for redemption of Trust Preferred Securities and ending at the close of business on the day of mailing of notice of redemption or (b) to
transfer or exchange any Trust Preferred Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any Trust Preferred Security to be redeemed in part, any portion thereof not to be redeemed. 

Every Trust Preferred Securities Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to an Administrative Trustee and the Securities Registrar duly executed by the Holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Trust Preferred Securities Certificate surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently disposed of by an Administrative Trustee or the Securities Registrar in accordance with such Person’s customary practice. 

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Trust Preferred Securities Certificates, but the Securities
Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Trust Preferred Securities Certificates. 

Section 5.5 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Trust Securities Certificates. 

If (a) any mutilated Trust Securities Certificate shall be surrendered to the Securities Registrar, or if the Securities Registrar shall
receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Trust Securities Certificate, and (b) there shall be delivered to the Securities Registrar and the Administrative Trustees such security or indemnity as may be
required by them to save each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice that such Trust Securities Certificate shall have been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Administrative Trustees, or any one of them, on behalf of the Issuer Trust
shall execute and make available for delivery, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Trust Securities Certificate, a new Trust Securities Certificate of like class, tenor and denomination. In connection with the
issuance of any new Trust Securities Certificate under this Section 5.5, the Administrative Trustees or the Securities Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection therewith. Any duplicate Trust Securities Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of an undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the Issuer Trust corresponding to that evidenced by the
lost, stolen or destroyed Trust Securities Certificate, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Trust Securities Certificate shall be found at any time. 

Section 5.6 Persons Deemed Holders. 

The Issuer Trustees and the Securities Registrar shall each treat the Person in whose name any Trust Securities Certificate shall be registered
in the Securities Register as the owner of such Trust Securities Certificate for the purpose of receiving Distributions and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Issuer Trustees, the Administrative Trustees and the Securities Registrar
shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.

most recent list furnished to the Property Trustee as provided in this Section 5.7 and the names and addresses of Holders received by the Property Trustee at any time that is acting as Securities Registrar. The Property Trustee may destroy any

 The rights of Holders to communicate with
other Holders with respect to their rights under this Declaration of Trust or under the Trust Securities, and the corresponding rights and privileges of the Property Trustee, shall be as provided in the Trust Indenture Act. 

Each Holder and each Owner shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold the Sponsor, the Property Trustee, the Delaware Trustee, the
Administrative Trustees or the Securities Registrar accountable by reason of the disclosure of its name and address, regardless of the source from which such information was derived. 

Section 5.8 Maintenance of Office Agency. 

The Administrative Trustees shall designate an office or offices or agency or agencies where Trust Preferred Securities Certificates may be
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and for payment, and where notices and demands to or upon the Trustees in respect of this Declaration of Trust and the Trust Securities Certificates may be served. The Administrative Trustees

Security Registrar’s Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Corporate Trust Division, as their office and agency for the purposes of serving such demands and notices. An Administrative Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Sponsor, the

The Paying Agent shall make Distributions to Holders from the Payment Account and shall report the amounts of such Distributions to the
Property Trustee and the Administrative Trustees. Any Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to withdraw funds from the Payment Account solely for the purpose of making the Distributions referred to above. The Administrative Trustees may revoke
such power and remove the Paying Agent in their sole discretion. The Paying Agent shall initially be The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. Any Person acting as Paying Agent shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent upon 30 days’ written
notice to the Administrative Trustees and the Property Trustee. If The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. shall no longer be the Paying Agent or a successor Paying Agent shall resign or its authority to act be revoked, the Administrative Trustees
shall appoint a successor (which shall be a bank or trust company) that is reasonably acceptable to the Property Trustee and the Sponsor to act as Paying Agent. Such successor Paying Agent or any additional Paying Agent shall execute and deliver to
the Issuer Trustees an instrument in which such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent shall agree with the Issuer Trustees that as Paying Agent, such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent will hold all sums, if any, held by
it for payment to the Holders in trust for the benefit of the Holders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Holders. The Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the Property Trustee and upon removal of a Paying Agent such
Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to the Property Trustee. The provisions of Sections 8.1 (other than (c), (d), (e)(i), (e)(iii) and (e)(vii), thereof), 8.3 (other than (g) and (j) thereof) and 8.6 shall apply also
to the Paying Agent for so long as it shall act as Paying Agent and, to the extent applicable, to any other paying agent appointed hereunder, in the same manner that by their terms they apply to the Property Trustee, mutatis mutandis, as
modified by the terms of the Agent Agreement. Any reference in this Declaration of Trust to the Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise. 

Section 5.10 Ownership of Common Securities by Sponsor; Common Securities Certificate. 

(a) At the Time of Delivery, the Sponsor shall acquire beneficial and record ownership of the Common Securities. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, other than a transfer in connection with a consolidation or merger of the Sponsor into another Person, or any conveyance, transfer or lease by the Sponsor of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person
pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Base Indenture, any attempted transfer of the Common Securities other than to a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Sponsor shall be void. The Administrative Trustees shall cause each Common Securities

representing the Common Securities shall be issued to the Sponsor in the form of a definitive Common Securities Certificate.

 (ii) the Securities Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Issuer Trustees
shall be entitled to deal with the Clearing Agency, or its nominee, for all purposes of this Declaration of Trust relating to the Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificates (including the payment of the Liquidation Amount of and
Distributions on the Trust Preferred Securities evidenced by Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificates and the giving of instructions or directions to Owners of Trust Preferred Securities evidenced by Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities
Certificates) as the sole Holder of Trust Preferred Securities evidenced by Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificates and shall have no obligations to the Owners thereof, and neither any Clearing Agency Participants nor any other Persons on
whose behalf Clearing Agency Participants may act shall have any rights under this Declaration of Trust with respect to any Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificates registered in the name of the Clearing Agency or any nominee thereof or
otherwise; 
 (iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 5.11 conflict with any other provisions of this
Declaration of Trust, the provisions of this Section 5.11 shall control; and 
 (iv) the rights of the Owners of the
Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificates shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency
Participants. Pursuant to the Certificate Depositary Agreement, unless and until Definitive Trust Preferred Securities Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 5.15, the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the
Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit payments on the Trust Preferred Securities to such Clearing Agency Participants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) the Holder of a Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificate may
grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including the Clearing Agency Participants and other Persons that are Owners, to take any action that a Holder of Trust Preferred Securities of the relevant Class is entitled to take under this
Declaration of Trust or the Trust Preferred Securities of the relevant Class, and (y) nothing herein shall prevent the Securities Registrar or the Issuer Trustees from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization
furnished by the Clearing Agency or shall impair, as between the Clearing Agency and the Clearing Agency Participants, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of an Owner of any Trust Preferred Security. 

(b) Any Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificate shall represent such number of the Outstanding Trust Preferred Securities of the
applicable Class as shall be specified therein and may provide that it shall represent the aggregate number of Outstanding Trust Preferred Securities of the applicable Class from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate number
of Outstanding Trust Preferred Securities of the applicable Class represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect transfers, redemptions or exchanges (including the Exchanges pursuant to
Section 5.13). Any endorsement of a Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificate to reflect the number, or any increase or decrease in the number, of Outstanding Trust Preferred Securities of the applicable Class represented thereby
shall be made by the Securities Registrar (i) in such a manner and upon instructions given by such Person or Persons as shall be specified in such Trust Preferred Securities of the applicable Class or in a Sponsor order to be delivered to
the Securities Registrar pursuant to Section 5.3 or (ii) otherwise in accordance with written instructions or such other written form or instructions as is customary for the Clearing Agency for such Trust Preferred

of a Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificate shall be limited to transfers in whole, but not in part, to the Clearing Agency, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of Owners in a Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities
Certificate may be transferred in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Clearing Agency. Definitive Trust Preferred Securities Certificates shall be transferred to Owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Book-Entry Trust
Preferred Securities Certificate if, and only if, either (1) the Clearing Agency notifies the Sponsor and the Securities Registrar that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Clearing Agency for the Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities or if
at any time the Clearing Agency ceases to be a Clearing Agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Clearing Agency is not appointed by the Sponsor within 90 days of such notice, (2) an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing and the Securities Registrar has received a request from the Clearing Agency to issue Definitive Trust Preferred Securities Certificates of each Class in lieu of all or a portion of the Book-Entry Trust Preferred
Securities (in which case an Administrative Trustee shall execute and deliver Definitive Trust Preferred Securities Certificates within 30 days of such request), or (3) the Sponsor determines not to have the Trust Preferred Securities
represented by the Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificates. 
 (e) In connection with any transfer of a portion of the beneficial
interests in a Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificate to Owners pursuant to this Section 5.11, the Securities Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the number of Book-Entry Trust Preferred
Securities of the applicable Class in an amount equal to the number of such Trust Preferred Securities of the applicable Class to be transferred, and an Administrative Trustee shall execute and deliver one or more Definitive Trust
Preferred Securities Certificates of the same Class representing the appropriate number of Trust Preferred Securities of such Class. 

(f) In connection with the transfer of all the beneficial interests in a Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificate to Owners pursuant
to this Section 5.11, the Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificates shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Securities Registrar for cancellation, and an Administrative Trustee shall execute and deliver to each Owner identified by the
Clearing Agency in exchange for its beneficial interest in the Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificate being canceled, a Definitive Trust Preferred Security Certificate representing an equal number of Trust Preferred Securities of the
applicable Class. 
 (g) None of the Issuer Trustees, the Securities Registrar, the Paying Agent or the Sponsor will have any responsibility
or liability for any acts or omissions of any Clearing Agency with respect to any Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities, or any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, Trust Preferred Securities by the Clearing Agency, or
for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records of the Clearing Agency relating to the Trust Preferred Securities, or for any transactions between or among a Clearing Agency and a Clearing

instructions from the Clearing Agency for all purposes (including with respect to the registration and delivery, in the respective amounts, of Definitive Trust Preferred Securities Certificates to be issued). 

Section 5.12 Notices to Clearing Agency. 

To the extent that a notice or other communication to the Holders is required under this Declaration of Trust, for so long as Trust Preferred
Securities are represented by Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificates, the Administrative Trustees shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to the Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligations to the
Owners.

(i) of Normal PPS may exchange Normal PPS and Qualifying Treasury Securities for Stripped PPS and Capital PPS; and 

(ii) of Stripped PPS and Capital PPS may exchange Stripped PPS and Capital PPS for Normal PPS and Pledged Treasury Securities

correlative meanings). All deposits, deliveries or transfers by a Holder pursuant to this Section 5.13 of Normal PPS, Capital PPS and treasury securities (including Qualifying Treasury Securities) shall be made by Book-Entry Transfer unless the
recipient of such deposit, delivery or transfer expressly agrees otherwise in writing. 
 (b) Subject to the conditions set forth in this

considered together as a single Class, by written notice to the Property Trustee, the Sponsor and the Note Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

(A) all overdue installments of interest (including any Additional Interest (as defined in the Indenture)) on all of the Notes,

 (B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Notes that have become due otherwise than by such declaration of
acceleration and interest (including any Additional Interest (as defined in the Indenture)) thereon at the rate borne by the Notes, and

sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest and principal due otherwise than by acceleration has been deposited with the Note Trustee) or a default in respect of a covenant or provision that under the Indenture cannot be modified or
amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding Note. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Upon receipt by the Property Trustee of written notice declaring such an acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof, by Holders of any
part of the Trust Preferred Securities of the Affected Classes a record date shall be established for determining Holders of Outstanding Trust Preferred Securities of the Affected Classes entitled to join in such notice, which record date shall be
at the close of business on the day the Property Trustee receives such notice. The Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such notice, whether or not such Holders remain
Holders after such record date; provided that unless such declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having joined in such notice prior to
the day that is 90 days after such record date, such notice of declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be canceled and of no further effect. Nothing
in this paragraph shall prevent a Holder, or a proxy of a Holder, from giving, after expiration of such 90-day period, a new written notice of declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof,
as the case may be, that is identical to a written notice that has been canceled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in which event a new record date shall be established pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.16(b).

impair any right consequent thereon.

only by a United States Person that is a beneficial owner of a Trust Security or by a United States Person acting as irrevocable agent with discretionary powers for the beneficial owner of a Trust Security that is not a United States Person. Holders
that are not United States Persons must irrevocably appoint a United States Person with discretionary powers to act as their agent with respect to such voting and consensual rights. 

Section 6.6 Proxies, Etc. 

At any meeting of Holders, any Holder entitled to vote thereat may vote by proxy, provided that no proxy shall be voted at any meeting
unless it shall have been placed on file with the Property Trustee, or with such other officer or agent of the Issuer Trust as the Property Trustee may direct, for verification prior to the time at which such vote shall be taken. Pursuant to a
resolution of the Property Trustee, proxies may be solicited in the name of the Property Trustee or one or more officers of the Property Trustee. Only Holders of record shall be entitled to vote. When Trust Securities are held jointly by several
Persons, any one of them may vote at any meeting in person or by proxy in respect of such Trust Securities, but if more than one of them shall be present at such meeting in person or by proxy, and such joint owners or their proxies so present
disagree as to any vote to be cast, such vote shall not be received in respect of such Trust Securities. A proxy purporting to be executed by or on behalf of a Holder shall be deemed valid unless challenged at or prior to its exercise, and the
burden of proving invalidity shall rest on the challenger. No proxy shall be valid more than three years after its date of execution.

DECLARATION OF TRUST 













 Section 6.7 Holder Action by Written Consent. 

Any action that may be taken by Holders at a meeting may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice if Holders holding at least a
Majority in Liquidation Amount of all Trust Preferred Securities entitled to vote in respect of such action (or such larger proportion thereof as shall be required by any other provision of this Declaration of Trust) shall consent to the action in
writing. 
 Section 6.8 Record Date for Voting and Other Purposes. 

For the purposes of determining the Holders who are entitled to notice of and to vote at any meeting or by written consent, or to participate
in any distribution on the Trust Securities in respect of which a record date is not otherwise provided for in this Declaration of Trust, or for the purpose of any other action, the Administrative Trustees may from time to time fix a date, not more
than 90 days prior to the date of any meeting of Holders or the payment of a Distribution or other action, as the case may be, as a record date for the determination of the identity of the Holders of record for such purposes. The Administrative
Trustees shall cause a notice of any such date fixed in respect of any such distribution to be forwarded to each Paying Agent and the Property Trustee. 

Section 6.9 Acts of Holders. 

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Declaration of Trust to be
given, made or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein,
such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Property Trustee and the Administrative Trustees. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein
sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Declaration of
Trust and (subject to Section 8.1) conclusive in favor of the Issuer Trustees, if made in the manner provided in this Section. 
 The
fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds,
certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also
constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner that any Issuer Trustee receiving the same
deems sufficient. 
 The ownership of Trust Securities shall be proved by the Securities Register. 

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Trust Security shall bind every
future Holder of the same Trust Security and the Holder of every Trust Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Issuer
Trustees, or the Issuer Trust in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Trust Security.

DECLARATION OF TRUST 













 Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder
with regard to any particular Trust Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the Liquidation Amount of such Trust Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or
any part of such Liquidation Amount. 
 If any dispute shall arise between the Holders and the Issuer Trustees or among the Holders or the
Issuer Trustees with respect to the authenticity, validity or binding nature of any request, demand, authorization, direction, consent, waiver or other Act of such Holder or Issuer Trustee under this Article VI, then the determination of such
matter by the Property Trustee shall be conclusive with respect to such matter. 
 Section 6.10 Inspection of
Records. 
 Upon reasonable notice to the Administrative Trustees and the Property Trustee, the records of the Issuer Trust shall be open
to inspection by Holders during normal business hours for any purpose reasonably related to such Holder’s interest as a Holder.

DECLARATION OF TRUST 













 ARTICLE VIII 

THE ISSUER TRUSTEES 

Section 8.1 Certain Duties and Responsibilities. 

(a) The duties and responsibilities of the Issuer Trustees shall be as provided by this Declaration of Trust, subject to Section 12.10.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Declaration of Trust shall require any of the Issuer Trustees to expend or risk its or their own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its or their duties
hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its or their rights or powers, if it or they shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Declaration of Trust relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Issuer Trustees shall be subject to the provisions of this
Section 8.1. To the extent that, at law or in equity, an Issuer Trustee has duties and liabilities relating to the Issuer Trust or to the Holders, such Issuer Trustee shall not be liable to the Issuer Trust or to any Holder for such Issuer
Trustee’s good faith reliance on the provisions of this Declaration of Trust. Except as otherwise required by the Trust Indenture Act and the Commission’s rules thereunder applicable to indentures qualified under such Act, the provisions
of this Declaration of Trust, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of the Issuer Trustees otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Sponsor and the Holders to replace such other duties and liabilities of the
Issuer Trustees. 
 (b) All payments made by the Property Trustee or a Paying Agent in respect of the Trust Securities shall be made only
from the revenue and proceeds from the Trust Property and only to the extent that there shall be sufficient revenue or proceeds from the Trust Property to enable the Property Trustee or a Paying Agent to make payments in accordance with the terms
hereof. Each Holder, by its acceptance of a Trust Security, agrees that it will look solely to the revenue and proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent legally available for distribution to it as herein provided and that the Issuer Trustees
are not personally liable to such Holder for any amount distributable in respect of any Trust Security or for any other liability in respect of any Trust Security. This Section 8.1(b) does not limit the liability of the Issuer Trustees
expressly set forth elsewhere in this Declaration of Trust or, in the case of the Property Trustee, in the Trust Indenture Act. 
 (c) If an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Property Trustee shall enforce this Declaration of Trust and the Transaction Agreements for the benefit of the Holders. 

(d) The Property Trustee, before the occurrence of any Event of Default and after the curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred,
shall undertake to perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Declaration of Trust (including pursuant to Section 12.10), and no implied covenants shall be read into this Declaration of Trust against the Property Trustee. If
an Event of Default has occurred (that has not been cured or waived pursuant to Section 5.13 of the Base Indenture), the Property Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Declaration of Trust, and use the same
degree of care and skill in its exercise thereof, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs. 
  

  
 -54- 

DECLARATION OF TRUST 













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

(i) prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default that may have
occurred: 
 (A) the duties and obligations of the Property Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of
this Declaration of Trust (including pursuant to Section 12.10), and the Property Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Declaration of Trust (including
pursuant to Section 12.10); and 
 (B) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Property Trustee, the Property
Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Property Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Declaration of
Trust; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions that by any provision hereof or of the Trust Indenture Act are specifically required to be furnished to the Property Trustee, the Property Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same
to determine whether or not they conform on their face to the requirements of this Declaration of Trust; 
 (ii) the Property
Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by an authorized officer of the Property Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Property Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; 

(iii) the Property Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
accordance with the direction of the Sponsor or the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Preferred Securities of all Affected Classes considered together as a single Class, relating to the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Property Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Property Trustee under this Declaration of Trust; 

(iv) the Property Trustee’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Notes and
the Payment Account shall be to deal with such property in a similar manner as the Property Trustee deals with similar property for its own account, subject to the protections and limitations on liability afforded to the Property Trustee under this
Declaration of Trust and the Trust Indenture Act; 
 (v) the Property Trustee shall not be liable for any interest on any
money received by it except as it may otherwise agree with the Sponsor; and money held by the Property Trustee need not be segregated from other funds held by it except in relation to the Payment Account maintained by the Property Trustee pursuant
to Section 3.1 and except to the extent otherwise required by law; 

  
 -55- 

DECLARATION OF TRUST 













 (vi) the Property Trustee shall not be responsible for monitoring the
compliance by the Administrative Trustees, the Sponsor, the Collateral Agent, the Securities Registrar, the Custodial Agent, the Paying Agent, the Remarketing Agent or any other Person, with their respective duties under this Declaration of Trust or
any Transaction Document, nor shall the Property Trustee be liable for the default or misconduct of any other Issuer Trustee, the Administrative Trustees, the Sponsor, the Collateral Agent, the Securities Registrar, the Custodial Agent, the Paying
Agent, the Remarketing Agent or any other Person; and 
 (vii) subject to Section 8.1(c), no provision of this
Declaration of Trust shall require the Property Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if the Property
Trustee shall have reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment of such funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it under the terms of this Declaration of Trust or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to it. 
 (f) The Administrative Trustees shall not be responsible for monitoring the compliance by the other Issuer Trustees or the
Sponsor with their respective duties under this Declaration of Trust, nor shall either Administrative Trustee be liable for the default or misconduct of any other Issuer Trustee or the Sponsor. 

Section 8.2 Certain Notices. 

Within 30 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Property Trustee or the
Administrative Trustees, the Property Trustee or the Administrative Trustees shall transmit, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 12.8, notice of such Event of Default to the Holders of each Affected Class, unless such Event of
Default shall have been cured or waived. 
 For so long as Notes are included within the Trust Property, within five Business Days after the
receipt of notice of the Sponsor’s exercise of its right to defer the payment of interest on the Notes pursuant to the Indenture, the Property Trustee or the Administrative Trustees shall transmit, in the manner and to the extent provided in
Section 12.8, notice of such exercise to the Holders of the Normal PPS and the Capital PPS, unless such exercise shall have been revoked. 

If during any calendar year any original issue discount shall have accrued on the Notes, the Sponsor shall file with each Paying Agent
(including the Property Trustee if it is a Paying Agent) promptly at the end of such calendar year (i) a written notice specifying the amount of original issue discount (including daily rates and accrual periods) accrued on outstanding Notes as
of the end of such year and (ii) such other specific information relating to such original issue discount as may then be relevant under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time. 

For so long as Stock Purchase Contracts are included within the Trust Property, within five Business Days after the receipt of notice of the
Sponsor’s exercise of its right to defer Contract Payments, the Property Trustee or the Administrative Trustees shall transmit, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 12.8, notice of such exercise to the Holders of the Normal
PPS and the Stripped PPS, unless such exercise shall have been revoked. 
 For so long as shares of Preferred Stock are included within the
Trust Property, within five Business Days after the receipt of notice of the Sponsor’s determination not to pay dividends on a dividend payment date, the Property Trustee shall transmit, in the manner and to the extent provided in
Section 12.8, notice of such decision to the Holders of the Normal PPS and Stripped PPS, unless such notice shall have been revoked. 

  
 -56- 

DECLARATION OF TRUST 













 The Property Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Event of Default unless
the Property Trustee shall have received written notice or a Responsible Officer of the Property Trustee charged with the administration of this Declaration of Trust shall have obtained actual knowledge of such Event of Default. 

Section 8.3 Certain Rights of Property Trustee. 

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.1: 

(a) the Property Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting in good faith upon any resolution,
Opinion of Counsel, certificate, written representation of a Holder or transferee, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond, debenture, note, other
evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; 

(b) if (i) in performing its duties under this Declaration of Trust the Property Trustee is required to decide between
alternative courses of action, (ii) in construing any of the provisions of this Declaration of Trust the Property Trustee finds the same ambiguous or inconsistent with any other provisions contained herein, or (iii) the Property Trustee is
unsure of the application of any provision of this Declaration of Trust, then, except as to any matter as to which the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities are entitled to vote under the terms of this Declaration of Trust, the Property Trustee
shall deliver a notice to the Sponsor requesting the Sponsor’s opinion as to the course of action to be taken; provided, however, that if the Sponsor fails to deliver such opinion, the Property Trustee may take such action, or
refrain from taking such action, as the Property Trustee shall deem advisable and in the interests of the Holders, in which event the Property Trustee shall have no liability except for its own bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct; 

(c) any direction or act of the Sponsor contemplated by this Declaration of Trust shall be sufficiently evidenced by an
Officers’ Certificate; 
 (d) any direction or act of an Administrative Trustee contemplated by this Declaration of
Trust shall be sufficiently evidenced by a certificate executed by such Administrative Trustee and setting forth such direction or act; 

(e) the Property Trustee shall have no duty to see to any recording, filing or registration of any instrument (including any
financing or continuation statement or any filing under tax or securities laws) or any rerecording, refiling or re-registration thereof; 

(f) the Property Trustee may consult with counsel of its own selection (which counsel may be counsel to the Sponsor or any of
its Affiliates, and may include any of its employees) and the advice of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon
and in accordance with such advice; the Property Trustee shall have the right at any time to seek instructions concerning the administration of this Declaration of Trust from any court of competent jurisdiction; 

 

  
 -57- 

DECLARATION OF TRUST 













 (g) the Property Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
rights or powers vested in it by this Declaration of Trust at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Declaration of Trust, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Property Trustee reasonable security or indemnity
satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction; provided that nothing contained in this Section 8.3(g) shall be taken to relieve the Property
Trustee, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, of its obligation to exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Declaration of Trust; 

(h) the Property Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution,
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by one or more Holders, but the
Property Trustee may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit at the expense of the Sponsor and in all events shall incur no liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation; 

(i) the Property Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or

(k) except as otherwise expressly provided by this Declaration of Trust, the Property Trustee shall not be under any obligation

right, power, duty or obligation conferred or imposed on it, in any jurisdiction in which it shall be illegal, or in which such Person shall be unqualified or incompetent in accordance with applicable law, to perform any such act or acts, or to
exercise any such right, power, duty or obligation. No permissive power or authority available to any Issuer Trustee shall be construed to be a duty.

DECLARATION OF TRUST

Any Issuer Trustee or any other agent of any Issuer Trustee or the Issuer Trust, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner

Section 8.6 Compensation; Indemnity; Fees. 

The Sponsor agrees: 
 (a) to pay
to the Issuer Trustees from time to time such reasonable compensation for all services rendered by them hereunder as may be separately agreed by the Sponsor and the Issuer Trustees from time to time (which compensation shall not be limited by any
provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust); 
 (b) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to
reimburse the Issuer Trustees upon request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Issuer Trustees in accordance with any provision of this Declaration of Trust (including the reasonable compensation and the

performed or omitted by such Indemnified Person in good faith on behalf of the Issuer Trust and in a manner such Indemnified Person reasonably believed to be within the scope of authority conferred on such Indemnified Person by this Declaration of
Trust, except that no Indemnified Person shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Indemnified Person by reason of negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions.

 The provisions of this Section 8.6 shall survive the termination of this Declaration of Trust and the removal or resignation of any
Issuer Trustee. No Issuer Trustee may claim any Lien on any Trust Property as a result of any amount due pursuant to this Section 8.6. 

Notwithstanding any provision of law or equity, the Sponsor and any Issuer Trustee may engage in or possess an interest in other business
ventures of any nature or description, independently or with others, similar or dissimilar to the business of the Issuer Trust, and the Issuer Trust and the Holders of Trust Securities shall have no rights by virtue of this Declaration of Trust in
and to such independent ventures or the income or profits derived therefrom, and the pursuit of any such venture, even if competitive with the business of the Issuer Trust, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper. Notwithstanding any provision of
law or equity, neither the Sponsor nor any Issuer Trustee shall be obligated to present any particular investment or other opportunity to the Issuer Trust even if such opportunity is of a character that, if presented to the Issuer Trust, could be
taken by the Issuer Trust, and the Sponsor and any Issuer Trustee shall have the right to take for its own account (individually or as a partner or fiduciary) or to

that is a national or state chartered bank and eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If any such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually,
pursuant to law or to the requirements of its supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.7 and to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed
to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Property Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 8.7, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article VIII. At the time of appointment, the Property Trustee must have securities rated in one of the three highest rating categories by
a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. 
 (b) There shall at all times be one or more Administrative Trustees hereunder
with respect to the Trust Securities. Each Administrative Trustee shall be either a natural person who is at least 21 years of age or a legal entity that shall act through one or more persons authorized to bind that entity.

shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Declaration of Trust.

 Section 8.9
Co-Trustees and Separate Trustee. 
 Unless and until a Note Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, at any time or times, for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of the Trust Indenture Act or of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Property may at the time be located, the Holder of Common Securities
and the Administrative Trustees shall have the power to appoint one or more 

  
 -60- 

DECLARATION OF TRUST 













 
Persons either to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Property Trustee, of all or any part of such Trust Property, or to the extent required by law to act
as separate trustee of any such property, in either case with such powers as may be provided in the instrument of appointment, and to vest in such Person or Persons in the capacity aforesaid, any property, title, right or power deemed necessary or
desirable, subject to the other provisions of this Section. If a Note Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Property Trustee shall have the sole power to so appoint such a co-trustee or
separate trustee, and upon the written request of the Property Trustee, the Sponsor, and the Administrative Trustees shall for such purpose join with the Property Trustee in the execution, delivery, and performance of all instruments and agreements
necessary or proper to appoint, such co-trustee or separate trustee. Any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed pursuant to this Section shall either be
(i) a natural person who is at least 21 years of age and a resident of the United States, or (ii) a legal entity with its principal place of business in the United States that shall act through one or more persons authorized to bind such
entity. 
 Should any written instrument from the Sponsor be required by any co-trustee or separate
trustee so appointed for more fully confirming to such co-trustee or separate trustee such property, title, right, or power, any and all such instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and
delivered by the Sponsor. 
 Every co-trustee or separate trustee shall, to the extent permitted by
law, but to such extent only, be appointed subject to the following terms, namely: 
 (a) The Trust Securities shall be executed by one or
more Administrative Trustees, and the Trust Securities shall be delivered by the Property Trustee or an Administrative Trustee on behalf of the Property Trustee, and all rights, powers, duties, and obligations hereunder in respect of the custody of
securities, cash and other personal property held by, or required to be deposited or pledged with, the Property Trustee specified hereunder shall be exercised solely by the Property Trustee and not by such
co-trustee or separate trustee.

DECLARATION OF TRUST 













 (d) The Property Trustee shall not be liable by reason of any act of a co-trustee or separate trustee. 
 (e) Any Act of Holders delivered to the Property Trustee shall be deemed
to have been delivered to each such co-trustee and separate trustee. 

Section 8.10 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. 

No resignation or removal of any Issuer Trustee (the “Relevant Trustee”) and no appointment of a successor Issuer Trustee
pursuant to this Article VIII shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Issuer Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11. 

Subject to the immediately preceding paragraph, the Relevant Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Holders
and by appointing a successor Relevant Trustee. The Relevant Trustee shall appoint a successor by requesting from at least three Persons meeting the eligibility requirements its expenses and charges to serve as the Relevant Trustee on a form
provided by the Administrative Trustees, and selecting the Person who agrees to the lowest expenses and charges. If the instrument of acceptance by the successor Issuer Trustee required by Section 8.11 shall not have been delivered to the
Relevant Trustee within 60 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the Relevant Trustee may petition, at the expense of the Sponsor, in the case of the Property Trustee, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Relevant Trustee. 
 The Administrative Trustees, or any of them, may be removed at any time by Act of the Holders of Common
Securities delivered to the Relevant Trustee. 
 The Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, or both of them, may be removed by Act of the
Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Preferred Securities, delivered to the Relevant Trustee (in its individual capacity and, in the case of the Property Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer Trust) (i) for cause
(including upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in subparagraph (d) of the definition thereof with respect to the Relevant Trustee), or (ii) at any time if a Note Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
Unless and until a Note Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, or both of them, may be removed at any time by Act of the Holders of the Common Securities. 

If a resigning Property Trustee or Delaware Trustee shall fail to appoint a successor, or if the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee
shall be removed or become incapable of acting as Issuer Trustee, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee for any cause, the Holders of the Common Securities by Act of such Holders delivered to the
Relevant Trustee or, if a Note Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities, by Act of the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Trust Preferred Securities then
Outstanding delivered to such Relevant Trustee, may appoint a successor Relevant Trustee or Issuer Trustees, and such successor Issuer Trustee shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11. If no successor Relevant Trustee shall
have been so appointed by the Holders of the Common Securities or Trust Preferred Securities, as the case may be, and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 8.11, any Holder, on behalf of such Holder and all others similarly
situated, or any other Issuer Trustee, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Relevant Trustee.

DECLARATION OF TRUST 













 The Property Trustee shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of an Issuer
Trustee and each appointment of a successor Issuer Trustee to all Holders in the manner provided in Section 12.8 and shall give notice to the Sponsor and to the Administrative Trustees. Each notice shall include the name of the successor
Relevant Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office if it is the Property Trustee. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other
provision of this Declaration of Trust, if any Delaware Trustee who is a natural person dies or becomes, in the opinion of the Holders of the Common Securities, incompetent or incapacitated, the vacancy created by such death, incompetence or
incapacity may be filled by the Property Trustee following the procedures regarding expenses and charges set forth above (with the successor being a Person who satisfies the eligibility requirement for the Delaware Trustee set forth in

 Section 8.11 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. 

In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Relevant Trustee, the retiring Relevant Trustee (if requested by the Sponsor) and each
successor Relevant Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities shall execute and deliver an amendment hereto wherein each successor Relevant Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (a) shall contain such provisions as shall be
necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Relevant Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Relevant Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities and the Issuer Trust, and
(b) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Declaration of Trust as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the Issuer Trust by more than one Relevant Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein
or in such amendment shall constitute such Relevant Trustees co-trustees and upon the execution and delivery of such amendment the resignation or removal of the retiring Relevant Trustee shall become effective
to the extent provided therein and each such successor Relevant Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Relevant Trustee, other than the filing of an
amendment to the Certificate of Trust to the extent required under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act; but, on request of the Issuer Trust or any successor Relevant Trustee such retiring Relevant Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such
successor Relevant Trustee all Trust Property, all proceeds thereof and money held by such retiring Relevant Trustee hereunder with respect to the Trust Securities and the Issuer Trust. 

Upon request of any such successor Relevant Trustee, the Issuer Trust shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly
vesting in and confirming to such successor Relevant Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the preceding paragraph. 

No successor Relevant Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Relevant Trustee shall be
qualified and eligible under this Article VIII. 
 Section 8.12 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession
to Business. 
 Any Person into which the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Relevant Trustee shall be a party, or any Person, succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of such Relevant Trustee, shall be
the successor of such Relevant Trustee hereunder, provided that such Person shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article VIII, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties
hereto, other than the filing of an amendment to the Certificate of Trust to the extent required under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act.

permitted by law, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 
 (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of
any Distributions owing and unpaid in respect of the Trust Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Property Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable

Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Property Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Property Trustee, its agents and counsel, and
any other amounts due the Property Trustee. 
 Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Property Trustee to authorize or
consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement adjustment or compensation affecting the Trust Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Property Trustee to vote in respect of
the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

with such obligations, a description of such noncompliance; and 
 (iii) any change in the property and funds in its

ARTICLE IX 

DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND MERGER 

Section 9.1 Perpetual Existence. 

The Issuer Trust shall have perpetual existence and shall be dissolved only in accordance with this Article IX. 

Section 9.2 Early Dissolution. 

The first to occur of any of the following events is an “Early Dissolution Event”: 

(a) the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event in respect of, or the dissolution or liquidation of, the Sponsor, unless the Common
Securities shall be transferred as provided by Section 5.10, in which case this provision shall refer instead to any such successor Holder of the Common Securities; 

(b) the redemption of all of the Trust Preferred Securities in accordance with the provisions of this Declaration of Trust; and

 (c) the entry of an order for dissolution of the Issuer Trust by a court of competent jurisdiction. 

If an Early Dissolution Event occurs, Section 9.4 shall apply. 

Section 9.3 Dissolution. 

The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Issuer Trustees, the Administrative Trustees and the Issuer Trust created and continued
hereby shall terminate upon the latest to occur of the following: (a) the distribution by the Property Trustee to Holders of all amounts required to be distributed hereunder upon the liquidation of the Issuer Trust pursuant to Section 9.4,
or upon the redemption of all of the Trust Securities pursuant to Section 4.2; (b) the payment of any expenses owed by the Issuer Trust; and (c) the discharge of all administrative duties of the Administrative Trustees, including the

DECLARATION OF TRUST 













 Section 9.4 Liquidation. 

(a) If an Early Dissolution Event specified in clause (a) of Section 9.2 occurs, the Issuer Trust shall be liquidated by the Property
Trustee and the Administrative Trustees as expeditiously as the Property Trustee and the Administrative Trustees determine to be possible by distributing, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Issuer Trust as provided by applicable
law, to each Holder of Trust Preferred Securities of each Class a Like Amount of Corresponding Assets as of the date of such distribution, subject to Section 9.4(d). If an Early Dissolution Event specified in clause (c) of
Section 9.2 occurs, because such Early Dissolution Event is also an Early Settlement Event, unless otherwise required by applicable law the Issuer Trust will not be liquidated until after the Stock Purchase Date but, commencing promptly after
the Stock Purchase Date, the Issuer Trust shall be liquidated by the Property Trustee and the Administrative Trustees as expeditiously as the Property Trustee and the Administrative Trustees determine to be possible by distributing, after
satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Issuer Trust as provided by applicable law, to each Holder of Trust Preferred Securities of each Class a Like Amount of Corresponding Assets as of the date of such distribution, subject to
Section 9.4(d). Notice of liquidation shall be given by the Property Trustee or the Administrative Trustees by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Liquidation Date to each Holder of
Trust Preferred Securities of each Class at such Holder’s address appearing in the Securities Register. All such notices of liquidation shall: 

(i) state the CUSIP Number of the Trust Securities of each Class; 

(ii) state the Liquidation Date; 

(iii) state that from and after the Liquidation Date, the Trust Securities of such Class will no longer be deemed to
be Outstanding and any Trust Securities Certificates not surrendered for exchange will be deemed to represent a Like Amount of Corresponding Assets as of the date of such distribution, or if Section 9.4(d) applies, a right to receive a
Liquidation Distribution; and 
 (iv) provide such information with respect to the mechanics by which Holders may exchange
Trust Securities Certificates of such Class for Corresponding Assets, or if Section 9.4(d) applies, receive a Liquidation Distribution, as the Administrative Trustees shall deem appropriate. 

(b) Except where Section 9.2(b) or 9.4(d) applies, in order to effect the liquidation of the Issuer Trust and distribution of the
Corresponding Assets to Holders, the Property Trustee, either itself acting as exchange agent or through the appointment of a separate exchange agent, shall establish a record date for such distribution (which shall be not more than 30 days prior to
the Liquidation Date) and, establish such procedures as the Administrative Trustees shall deem appropriate to effect the distribution of Corresponding Assets in exchange for the Outstanding Trust Securities Certificates of the related Classes. 

  
 -67- 

DECLARATION OF TRUST 













 (c) Except where Section 9.2(b) or 9.4(d) applies, after the Liquidation Date,
(i) the Trust Securities will no longer be deemed to be Outstanding, (ii) if the Corresponding Assets for a Class of Trust Preferred Securities are Notes or shares of Preferred Stock, certificates representing a Like Amount of Notes
or Preferred Stock (or fractional interests in or depositary shares for Preferred Stock) will be issued to Holders of Trust Securities Certificates of the relevant Classes, upon surrender of such certificates to the exchange agent for exchange, and
where Pledged Treasury Securities are Corresponding Assets, Pledged Treasury Securities will be delivered by Book-Entry Transfer to Holders upon surrender of such certificates, (iii) any Trust Securities Certificates not so surrendered for
exchange will be deemed to represent a Like Amount of Corresponding Assets of the applicable Class until such certificates are so surrendered (and until such certificates are so surrendered, no payments of interest, principal, dividends,
redemption price or otherwise will be made to Holders of Trust Securities Certificates with respect to such Corresponding Assets) and (iv) all rights of Holders holding Trust Securities will cease, except the right of such Holders to receive
Corresponding Assets upon surrender of Trust Securities Certificates. 
 (d) If, notwithstanding the other provisions of this
Section 9.4, whether because of an order for dissolution entered by a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise, distribution of the Corresponding Assets in the manner provided herein is determined by the Property Trustee and the
Administrative Trustees not to be possible, or if an Early Dissolution Event specified in clause (b) of Section 9.2 occurs, the Trust Property shall be liquidated, and the Issuer Trust’s affairs
wound-up, by the Property Trustee and the Administrative Trustees in such manner as the Administrative Trustees determine. In such event, upon the winding-up of the
Issuer Trust except with respect to an Early Dissolution Event specified in clause (b) of Section 9.2, Holders will be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Issuer Trust available for distribution to Holders, after satisfaction of
liabilities to creditors of the Issuer Trust as provided by applicable law, an amount equal to the Liquidation Amount per Trust Security plus accumulated and unpaid Distributions thereon to the date of payment (such amount being the
“Liquidation Distribution”). If, upon any such winding-up, the Liquidation Distribution can be paid only in part because the Issuer Trust has insufficient assets available to pay in full the
aggregate Liquidation Distribution, then, subject to the next succeeding sentence, the amounts payable by the Issuer Trust on the Trust Securities shall be paid on a pro rata basis (based upon Liquidation Amounts), except that the right of
Holders of the Common Securities to receive Liquidation Distributions will be subordinated to the right of Holders of Trust Preferred Securities to receive Liquidation Distributions as provided in Section 4.3(c). 

Section 9.5 Mergers, Consolidations, Amalgamations or Replacements of Issuer Trust. 

The Issuer Trust may not merge with or into, consolidate, amalgamate, or be replaced by, or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets
substantially as an entirety to any corporation or other body, except pursuant to Section 9.4 or this Section 9.5. At the request of the Holders of the Common Securities, with the consent of the Administrative Trustees, but without the
consent of the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities of any Class, the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, the Issuer Trust may merge with or into, consolidate, amalgamate, or be replaced by or convey, transfer or lease its properties and
assets substantially as an entirety to a trust organized as such under the laws of any state; provided that (i) such successor entity either (a) expressly assumes all of the obligations of the Issuer Trust with respect to the Trust
Preferred Securities, or (b) substitutes for the Trust Preferred Securities other securities having substantially the same terms as the Trust Preferred Securities (the “Successor Securities”) so long as the Successor Securities
have the same priority as the Trust Preferred Securities with respect to distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption and otherwise, (ii) the Successor Securities are listed, or any Successor Securities will be listed upon
notification of issuance, on any national securities exchange or other organization on which the Trust Preferred Securities are listed, (iii) a trustee of such successor entity possessing the same powers and duties as the 

  
 -68- 

DECLARATION OF TRUST 













 Property Trustee is appointed to hold the Trust Property, (iv) such merger, consolidation,
amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not cause the Trust Preferred Securities of any Class (including any Successor Securities) to be downgraded by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, (v) such
merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of the Trust Preferred Securities of any Class (including any Successor Securities) in
any material respect, (vi) such successor entity has a purpose substantially identical to that of the Issuer Trust, (vii) prior to such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, the Property Trustee
has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (a) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the Holders of the Trust
Preferred Securities of any Class (including any Successor Securities) in any material respect, and (b) following such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, neither the Issuer Trust nor such successor
entity will be required to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act, (viii) the Issuer Trust has received an Opinion of Counsel experienced in such matters that such merger, consolidation, amalgamation,
conveyance, transfer or lease will not cause the Issuer Trust or the successor entity to be classified as an association or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and (ix) the Sponsor or its
permitted transferee owns all of the Common Securities of such successor entity and the Sponsor guarantees the obligations of such successor entity under the Successor Securities at least to the extent provided by the Guarantee Agreement. The Issuer
Trust may with the consent of Holders of all of the Trust Preferred Securities, consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or be replaced by or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any other entity or
permit any other entity to consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or replace it even if such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease would otherwise not be permitted under (viii) of the preceding
sentence.

previously identified with respect to any Reference Date is no longer expected to be outstanding on the immediately preceding Reference Date, identify another security meeting the foregoing criteria for such Reference Date. The security most
recently identified by the Administrative Trustees or any one of them with respect to any Reference Date shall be the “Qualifying Treasury Security” with respect to the period from and including its date of issuance (or if later,
the date of maturity of the Qualifying Treasury Security with respect to the immediately preceding Reference Date) to but excluding its date of maturity, and the Administrative Trustees’ identification of a security as a Qualifying Treasury
Security for such period shall be final and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The Administrative Trustees or any one of them shall give (or cause to be given) prompt written notice to the Company, the Collateral Agent, the Custodial

to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Declaration of Trust, which shall not be inconsistent with the other provisions of this Declaration of Trust, (ii) to modify, eliminate or add to any
provisions of this Declaration of Trust to such extent as shall be necessary to ensure that the Issuer 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

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 Trust
Preferred Securities Certificates that have been executed by an Administrative Trustee by facsimile signature shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Declaration of Trust or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless the certificate of
