otherwise determined by the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Securities or as otherwise required by the Statutory
Trust Act, to execute on behalf of the Trust (either acting alone or together with any or all of the Administrators) any documents
that the Administrators have the power to execute pursuant to this Declaration;


 


(I) the taking
of any action incidental to the foregoing as the Institutional Trustee may from time to time determine is necessary or advisable
to give effect to the terms of this Declaration for the benefit of the Holders (without consideration of the effect of any such
action on any particular Holder);


 


(J) to establish
a record date with respect to all actions to be taken hereunder that require a record date be established, including Distributions,
voting rights, redemptions and exchanges, and to issue relevant notices to the Holders of Capital Securities and Holders of Common
Securities as to such actions and applicable record dates; and


 


(K) to duly prepare and file all
applicable tax returns and tax information reports that are required to be filed with respect to the Trust on behalf of the Trust.


 


(ii)         As
among the Trustees and the Administrators, the Institutional Trustee shall have the power, duty and authority to act on behalf
of the Trust with respect to the following matters:


 


(A) the establishment of the Property Account;


 


(B) the receipt of the Debentures;


 


(C) the collection of interest,
principal and any other payments made in respect of the Debentures in the Property Account;


 




     9


     


    

 


(D) the distribution through the
Paying Agent of amounts owed to the Holders in respect of the Securities;


 


(E) the exercise of all of the rights,
powers and privileges of a holder of the Debentures;


 


(F) the sending of notices of default

(I) after
any Event of Default (provided that such Event of Default is not by or with respect to the Institutional Trustee) the taking
of any action incidental to the foregoing as the Institutional Trustee may from time to time determine is necessary or advisable
to give effect to the terms of this Declaration and protect and conserve the Trust Property for the benefit of the Holders (without
consideration of the effect of any such action on any particular Holder); and


 


(J) to take
all action that may be necessary for the preservation and the continuation of the Trust’s valid existence, rights, franchises
and privileges as a statutory trust under the laws of the State of Delaware.


 


(iii) The
Institutional Trustee shall have the power and authority to act on behalf of the Trust with respect to any of the duties, liabilities,
powers or the authority of the Administrators set forth in Section 2.6(a)(i)(D), (E) and (F) herein but shall not have a duty to
do any such act unless specifically requested to do so in writing by the Sponsor, and shall then be fully protected in acting pursuant
to such written request; and in the event of a conflict between the action of the Administrators and the action of the Institutional
Trustee, the action of the Institutional Trustee shall prevail.


 


(b)          So
long as this Declaration remains in effect, the Trust (or the Trustees or Administrators acting on behalf of the Trust) shall
not undertake any business, activities or transaction except as expressly provided herein or contemplated hereby. In particular,
neither the Trustees nor the Administrators may cause the Trust to (i) acquire any investments or engage in any activities not
authorized by this Declaration, (ii) sell, assign, transfer, exchange, mortgage, pledge, set-off or otherwise dispose of any of
the Trust Property or interests therein, including to Holders, except as expressly provided herein, (iii) take any action that
would reasonably be expected (x) to cause the Trust to fail or cease to qualify as a “grantor trust” for United States
federal income tax purposes or (y) to require the trust to register as an Investment Company under the Investment Company Act,
(iv) incur any indebtedness for borrowed money or issue any other debt or (v) take or consent to any action that would result
in the placement of a lien on any of the Trust Property. The Institutional Trustee shall, at the sole cost and expense of the
Trust, defend all claims and demands of all Persons at any time claiming any lien on any of the Trust Property adverse to the
interest of the Trust or the Holders in their capacity as Holders.


 


(c)          In
connection with the issuance and sale of the Capital Securities, the Sponsor shall have the right and responsibility to
assist the Trust with respect to, or effect on behalf of the Trust, the following (and any actions taken by the Sponsor in
furtherance of the following prior to the date of this Declaration are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects):


 






     10


     


    

 


(i)          the
taking of any action necessary to obtain an exemption from the Securities Act;


 


(ii)         the
determination of the States in which to take appropriate action to qualify or register for sale all or part of the Capital Securities
and the determination of any and all such acts, other than actions which must be taken by or on behalf of the Trust, and the advice
to the Administrators of actions they must take on behalf of the Trust, and the preparation for execution and filing of any documents
to be executed and filed by the Trust or on behalf of the Trust, as the Sponsor deems necessary or advisable in order to comply
with the applicable laws of any such States in connection with the sale of the Capital Securities;


 


(iii)        the negotiation of the terms
of, and the execution and delivery of, the Placement Agreement providing for the sale of the Capital Securities; and


 


(iv)        the taking of any other actions
necessary or desirable to carry out any of the foregoing activities.


 


(d)          Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Administrators and the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Common Securities
are authorized and directed to conduct the affairs of the Trust and to operate the Trust so that the Trust will not (i) be deemed
to be an Investment Company required to be registered under the Investment Company Act, and (ii) fail to be classified as a “grantor
trust” for United States federal income tax purposes. The Administrators and the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount
of the Common Securities shall not take any action inconsistent with the treatment of the Debentures as indebtedness of the Debenture
Issuer for United States federal income tax purposes. In this connection, the Administrators and the Holders of a Majority in
liquidation amount of the Common Securities are authorized to take any action, not inconsistent with applicable laws, the Certificate
of Trust or this Declaration, as amended from time to time, that each of the Administrators and the Holders of a Majority in liquidation
amount of the Common Securities determines in their discretion to be necessary or desirable for such purposes.


 


(e)          All
expenses incurred by the Administrators or the Trustees pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be reimbursed by the Sponsor, and the
Trustees and the Administrators shall have no obligations with respect to such expenses (for purposes of clarification, this Section
2.6(e) does not contemplate the payment by the Sponsor of acceptance or annual administration fees owing to the Trustees under
this Declaration or the fees and expenses of the Trustees’ counsel in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated
by this Declaration).


 


(f)          The
assets of the Trust shall consist of the Trust Property.


 


(g)          Legal
title to all Trust Property shall be vested at all times in the Institutional Trustee (in its capacity as such) and shall be held
and administered by the Institutional Trustee and the Administrators for the benefit of the Trust in accordance with this Declaration.


 


(h)          If
the Institutional Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Declaration
and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Institutional
Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case the Sponsor, the Institutional Trustee and the Holders shall, subject
to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and
thereafter all rights and remedies of the Institutional Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding
had been instituted.

Section 2.7.      Prohibition of Actions by the
Trust and the Institutional Trustee. 


 


(a)          The
Trust shall not, and the Institutional Trustee shall cause the Trust not to, engage in any activity other than as required or authorized
by this Declaration. In particular, the Trust shall not and the Institutional Trustee shall cause the Trust not to:


 


(i)          invest
any proceeds received by the Trust from holding the Debentures, but shall distribute all such proceeds to Holders of the Securities
pursuant to the terms of this Declaration and of the Securities;


 


(ii)         acquire
any assets other than as expressly provided herein;


 


(iii)        possess Trust Property for other than a Trust
purpose;


 


(iv)        make any loans or incur any
indebtedness other than loans represented by the Debentures;


 


(v)         possess
any power or otherwise act in such a way as to vary the Trust assets or the terms of the Securities in any way whatsoever other
than as expressly provided herein;


 


(vi)        issue any securities or other
evidences of beneficial ownership of, or beneficial interest in, the Trust other than the Securities;


 


(vii)       carry
on any “trade or business” as that phrase is used in the Code; or


 


(viii)      other
than as provided in this Declaration (including Annex I), (A) direct the time, method and place of exercising any trust or power
conferred upon the Debenture Trustee with respect to the Debentures, (B) waive any past default that is waivable under the Indenture,
(C) exercise any right to rescind or annul any declaration that the principal of all the Debentures shall be due and payable,
or (D) consent to any amendment, modification or termination of the Indenture or the Debentures where such consent shall be required
unless the Trust shall have received a written opinion of counsel to the effect that such modification will not cause the Trust
to cease to be classified as a “grantor trust” for United States federal income tax purposes.


 


Section 2.8.      Powers
and Duties of the Institutional Trustee. 


 


(a)          The
legal title to the Debentures shall be owned by and held of record in the name of the Institutional Trustee in trust for the benefit
of the Trust and the Holders of the Securities. The right, title and interest of the Institutional Trustee to the Debentures shall
vest automatically in each Person who may hereafter be appointed as Institutional Trustee in accordance with Section 4.5. Such
vesting and cessation of title shall be effective whether or not conveyancing documents with regard to the Debentures have been
executed and delivered.


 


(b)          The
Institutional Trustee shall not transfer its right, title and interest in the Debentures to the Administrators or to the Delaware
Trustee.


 


(c)          The
Institutional Trustee shall:


 






     12


     


    

 


(i)          establish
and maintain a segregated non-interest bearing trust account (the “Property Account”) in the name of and
under the exclusive control of the Institutional Trustee, and maintained in the Institutional Trustee’s trust
department, on behalf of the Holders of the Securities and, upon the receipt of payments of funds made in respect of the
Debentures held by the Institutional Trustee, deposit such funds into the Property Account and make payments, or cause the
Paying Agent to make payments, to the Holders of the Capital Securities and Holders of the Common Securities from the
Property Account in accordance with Section 5.1. Funds in the Property Account shall be held uninvested until disbursed in
accordance with this Declaration;


 


(ii)         engage
in such ministerial activities as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect the redemption of the Capital Securities and the
Common Securities to the extent the Debentures are redeemed or mature; and


 


(iii)        upon
written notice of distribution issued by the Administrators in accordance with the terms of the Securities, engage in such ministerial
activities as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect the distribution of the Debentures to Holders of Securities upon the
occurrence of certain circumstances pursuant to the terms of the Securities.


 


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


 


(e)          The
Institutional Trustee shall continue to serve as a Trustee until either:


 


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


 


(ii)         a
Successor Institutional Trustee has been appointed and has accepted that appointment in accordance with Section 4.5.


 


(f)          The
Institutional Trustee shall have the legal power to exercise all of the rights, powers and privileges of a Holder of the Debentures
under the Indenture and, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Institutional Trustee may, for the benefit of Holders
of the Securities, enforce its rights as holder of the Debentures subject to the rights of the Holders pursuant to this Declaration
(including Annex I) and the terms of the Securities.


 


The Institutional Trustee
must exercise the powers set forth in this Section 2.8 in a manner that is consistent with the purposes and functions of the Trust
set out in Section 2.3, and the Institutional Trustee shall not take any action that is inconsistent with the purposes and functions
of the Trust set out in Section 2.3.


 




     13


     


    

 


Section 2.9.     Certain
Duties and Responsibilities of the Trustees and Administrators. 


 


(a)          The
Institutional Trustee, before the occurrence of any Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default
that may have occurred, shall undertake to perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Declaration and no implied
covenants shall be read into this Declaration against the Institutional Trustee. In case an Event of Default has occurred (that
has not been cured or waived pursuant to Section 6.7), the Institutional Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested
in it by this Declaration, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use
under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.


 


(b)          The
duties and responsibilities of the Trustees and the Administrators shall be as provided by this Declaration. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no provision of this Declaration shall require any Trustee or Administrator to expend or risk their own funds or otherwise
incur any financial liability in the performance of any of their duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of their rights or
powers if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate protection against such risk of
liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Declaration relating
to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustees or Administrators shall be subject to the
provisions of this Article. Nothing in this Declaration shall be construed to relieve an Administrator or a Trustee from liability
for its own negligent act, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct. To the extent that, at law or in equity,
a Trustee or an Administrator has duties and liabilities relating to the Trust or to the Holders, such Trustee or such Administrator
shall not be liable to the Trust or to any Holder for such Trustee’s or such Administrator’s good faith reliance on
the provisions of this Declaration. The provisions of this Declaration, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities
of the Administrators or the Trustee otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Sponsor and the Holders to replace
such other duties and liabilities of the Administrators or the Trustees.


 


(c)          All
payments made by the Institutional Trustee or a Paying Agent in respect of the Securities shall be made only from the revenue and
proceeds from the Trust Property and only to the extent that there shall be sufficient revenue or proceeds from the Trust Property
to enable the Institutional Trustee or a Paying Agent to make payments in accordance with the terms hereof. Each Holder, by its
acceptance of a Security, agrees that it will look solely to the revenue and proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent legally
available for distribution to it as herein provided and that the Trustees and the Administrators are not personally liable to it
for any amount distributable in respect of any Security or for any other liability in respect of any Security. This Section 2.9(c)
does not limit the liability of the Trustees expressly set forth elsewhere in this Declaration.


 


(d)          The
Institutional Trustee shall not be liable for its own acts or omissions hereunder except as a result of its own negligent action,
its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:


 


(i)          the
Institutional Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by an Authorized Officer of the Institutional
Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Institutional Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;


 


(ii)         the
Institutional Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance
with the direction of the Holders of not less than a Majority in liquidation amount of the Capital Securities or the Common Securities,
as applicable, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Institutional
Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Institutional Trustee under this Declaration;


 




     14


     


    

 


(iii)         the
Institutional Trustee’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Debentures and
the Property Account shall be to deal with such property in a similar manner as the Institutional Trustee deals with similar property
for its fiduciary accounts generally, subject to the protections and limitations on liability afforded to the Institutional Trustee
under this Declaration;


 


(iv)        the
Institutional Trustee shall not be liable for any interest on any money received by it except as it may otherwise agree in writing
with the Sponsor; and money held by the Institutional Trustee need not be segregated from other funds held by it except in relation
to the Property Account maintained by the Institutional Trustee pursuant to Section 2.8(c)(i) and except to the extent otherwise
required by law; and


 


(v)         the
Institutional Trustee shall not be responsible for monitoring the compliance by the Administrators or the Sponsor with their respective
duties under this Declaration, nor shall the Institutional Trustee be liable for any default or misconduct of the Administrators
or the Sponsor.


 


Section 2.10.    Certain
Rights of Institutional Trustee. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.9:


 


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


 


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


 


(c)          any
direction or act of the Sponsor or the Administrators contemplated by this Declaration shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers’
Certificate;


 


(d)          whenever
in the administration of this Declaration, the Institutional Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established
before undertaking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Institutional Trustee (unless other evidence is herein specifically
prescribed) may request and conclusively rely upon an Officers’ Certificate as to factual matters which, upon receipt of
such request, shall be promptly delivered by the Sponsor or the Administrators;


 


(e)          the
Institutional 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 reregistration thereof;


 




     15


     


    

 


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


 


(g)          the
Institutional Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Declaration at
the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Declaration, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Institutional
Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred
by it in compliance with such request or direction; provided, that nothing contained in this Section 2.10(g) shall be taken
to relieve the Institutional Trustee, subject to Section 2.9(b), upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (that has not been
cured or waived pursuant to Section 6.7), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Declaration, and use
the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the
conduct of his or her own affairs;


 


(h)          the
Institutional Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness
or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by one or more Holders, but the Institutional Trustee may make
such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit;


 


(i)          the
Institutional Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or
through its agents or attorneys and the Institutional Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the
part of or for the supervision of, any such agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder;


 


(j)          whenever
in the administration of this Declaration the Institutional Trustee shall deem it desirable to receive instructions with respect
to enforcing any remedy or right or taking any other action hereunder the Institutional Trustee (i) may request instructions from
the Holders of the Capital Securities which instructions may only be given by the Holders of the same proportion in liquidation
amount of the Capital Securities as would be entitled to direct the Institutional Trustee under the terms of the Capital Securities
in respect of such remedy, right or action, (ii) may refrain from enforcing such remedy or right or taking such other action until
such instructions are received, and (iii) shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with such instructions;


 


(k)          except
as otherwise expressly provided in this Declaration, the Institutional Trustee shall not be under any obligation to take any action
that is discretionary under the provisions of this Declaration;


 


(l)          when
the Institutional Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with a Bankruptcy Event, such expenses (including the
fees and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for such services are intended to constitute expenses of administration
under any bankruptcy law or law relating to creditors rights generally;


 


(m)          the Institutional
Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of an Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Institutional Trustee obtains
actual knowledge of such event or the Institutional Trustee receives written notice of such event from any Holder, the Sponsor
or the Debenture Trustee;


 




     16


     


    

 


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


 


(o)          no
provision of this Declaration shall be deemed to impose any duty or obligation on the Institutional Trustee to perform any act
or acts or exercise any right, power, duty or obligation conferred or imposed on it, in any jurisdiction in which it shall be illegal,
or in which the Institutional Trustee shall be unqualified or incompetent in accordance with applicable law, to perform any such
act or acts, or to exercise any such right, power, duty or obligation. No permissive power or authority available to the Institutional
Trustee shall be construed to be a duty.


 


Section 2.11.      Delaware
Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Declaration other than Section 4.1, the Delaware Trustee shall not
be entitled to exercise any powers, nor shall the Delaware Trustee have any of the duties and responsibilities of any of the Trustees
or the Administrators described in this Declaration (except as may be required under the Statutory Trust Act). Except as set forth
in Section 4.1, the Delaware Trustee shall be a Trustee for the sole and limited purpose of fulfilling the requirements of §
3807 of the Statutory Trust Act.


 


Section 2.12.      Execution
of Documents. Unless otherwise determined in writing by the Institutional Trustee, and except as otherwise required by
the Statutory Trust Act, the Institutional Trustee, or any one or more of the Administrators, as the case may be, is authorized
to execute on behalf of the Trust any documents that the Trustees or the Administrators, as the case may be, have the power and
authority to execute pursuant to Section 2.6.


 


Section 2.13.      Not
Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities. The recitals contained in this Declaration and the Securities shall
be taken as the statements of the Sponsor, and the Trustees do not assume any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustees
make no representations as to the value or condition of the property of the Trust or any part thereof. The Trustees make no representations
as to the validity or sufficiency of this Declaration, the Debentures or the Securities.


 


Section 2.14.      Duration
of Trust. The Trust, unless earlier dissolved pursuant to the provisions of Article VII hereof, shall be in existence
for 35 years from the Closing Date.


 


Section 2.15.      Mergers.



 


(a)          The
Trust may not consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or be replaced by, or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets
substantially as an entirety to any corporation or other body, except as described in Section 2.15(b) and (c) and except in connection
with the liquidation of the Trust and the distribution of the Debentures to Holders of Securities pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(iv)
of the Declaration or Section 4 of Annex I.


 


(b)          The
Trust may, with the consent of the Institutional Trustee and without the consent of the Holders of the Capital Securities, consolidate,
amalgamate, merge with or into, or be replaced by a trust organized as such under the laws of any state; provided that:


 


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


 


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


 




     17


     


    

 


(B) substitutes
for the Securities other securities having substantially the same terms as the Securities (the “Successor Securities”)
so that the Successor Securities rank the same as the Securities rank with respect to Distributions and payments upon Liquidation,
redemption and otherwise;


 


(ii)         the
Sponsor expressly appoints a trustee of the Successor Entity that possesses substantially the same powers and duties as the Institutional
Trustee as the Holder of the Debentures;


 


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


 


(iv)         the
Institutional Trustee receives written confirmation from Moody’s Investor Services, Inc. and any other nationally recognized
statistical rating organization that rates securities issued by the initial purchaser of the Capital Securities that it will not
reduce or withdraw the rating of any such securities because of such merger, conversion, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement;


 


(v)         such
Successor Entity has a purpose substantially identical to that of the Trust;


 


(vi)         prior
to such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement, the Trust has received an opinion of a nationally recognized independent
counsel to the Trust experienced in such matters to the effect that:


 


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


 


(B) following
such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement, neither the Trust nor the Successor Entity will be required to register
as an Investment Company; and


 


(C) following
such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement, the Trust (or the Successor Entity) will continue to be classified as
a “grantor trust” for United States federal income tax purposes;


 


(vii)         the Sponsor guarantees the
obligations of such Successor Entity under the Successor Securities at least to the extent provided by the Guarantee;


 


(viii)         the Sponsor owns 100% of the common securities

of actions it must take, and prepare for execution and filing any documents to be executed and filed by the Trust, as the Sponsor
deems necessary or advisable in order to comply with the applicable laws of any such States, to protect the limited liability of
the Holders of the Capital Securities or to enable the Trust to effect the purposes for which it was created; and

expenses and taxes are owed (a “Creditor”) whether or not such Creditor has received notice hereof. Any such

at any time the Institutional Trustee shall cease to be eligible to so act under Section 4.3(a), the Institutional Trustee shall
immediately resign in the manner and with the effect set forth in Section 4.5.


 


(c)          If
the Institutional Trustee has or shall acquire any “conflicting interest” within the meaning of Section 310(b) of
the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, the Institutional Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the
extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to this Declaration.


 


(d)          The

Each Administrator shall be a U.S. Person, 21 years of age or older and authorized to bind the Sponsor. The initial Administrators

the taking of which is the subject of a meeting of the Administrators, any action required or permitted to be taken by the Administrators
may be taken by, and any power of the Administrators may be exercised by, or with the consent of, any one such Administrator.


 


Section 4.5.      Appointment,
Removal and Resignation of Trustees and Administrators. 


 


(a)          No
resignation or removal of any Trustee (the “Relevant Trustee”) and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to
this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable
requirements of this Section 4.5.


 


(b)          Subject
to Section 4.5(a), a Relevant Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Holders of the Securities
and by appointing a successor Relevant Trustee. Upon the resignation of the Institutional Trustee, the Institutional Trustee shall
appoint a successor by requesting from at least three Persons meeting the eligibility requirements their expenses and charges
to serve as the successor Institutional Trustee on a form provided by the Administrators, and selecting the Person who agrees
to the lowest expense and charges (the “Successor Institutional Trustee”). If the instrument of acceptance
by the successor Relevant Trustee required by this Section 4.5 shall not have been delivered to the Relevant Trustee within 60
days after the giving of such notice of resignation or delivery of the instrument of removal, the Relevant Trustee may petition,
at the expense of the Trust, any federal, state or District of Columbia court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of
a successor Relevant Trustee. Such court may thereupon, after prescribing such notice, if any, as it may deem proper, appoint
a Relevant Trustee. The Institutional Trustee shall have no liability for the selection of such successor pursuant to this Section
4.5.


 


(c)          Unless
an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any Trustee may be removed at any time by an act of the Holders
of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Common Securities. If any Trustee shall be so removed, the Holders of the Common
Securities, by act of the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Common Securities delivered to the Relevant
Trustee, shall promptly appoint a successor Relevant Trustee, and such successor Trustee shall comply with the applicable
requirements of this Section 4.5. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Institutional Trustee or
the Delaware Trustee, or both of them, may be removed by the act of the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the
Capital Securities, delivered to the Relevant Trustee (in its individual capacity and on behalf of the Trust). If any Trustee
shall be so removed, the Holders of Capital Securities, by act of the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the
Capital Securities then outstanding delivered to the Relevant Trustee, shall promptly appoint a successor Relevant Trustee or
Trustees, and such successor Trustee shall comply with the applicable requirements of this Section 4.5. If no successor
Relevant Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Capital Securities
and accepted appointment in the manner required by this Section 4.5 within 30 days after delivery of an instrument of
removal, the Relevant Trustee or any Holder who has been a Holder of the Securities for at least six months may, on behalf of
himself and all others similarly situated, petition any federal, state or District of Columbia court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Relevant Trustee. Such court may thereupon, after prescribing such notice, if
any, as it may deem proper, appoint a successor Relevant Trustee or Trustees.


 






     21


     


    

 


(d)          The
Institutional Trustee shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of a Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee
to all Holders and to the Sponsor. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Relevant Trustee and the address of its
Corporate Trust Office if it is the Institutional Trustee.


 


(e)          Notwithstanding
the foregoing or any other provision of this Declaration, in the event a Delaware Trustee who is a natural person dies or is adjudged
by a court to have become incompetent or incapacitated, the vacancy created by such death, incompetence or incapacity may be filled
by the Institutional Trustee following the procedures in this Section 4.5 (with the successor being a Person who satisfies the
eligibility requirement for a Delaware Trustee set forth in this Declaration) (the “Successor Delaware Trustee”).


 


(f)          In
case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Relevant Trustee, the retiring Relevant Trustee and each successor Relevant Trustee
with respect to the 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 Securities and the Trust and (b) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Declaration as shall be necessary
to provide for or facilitate the administration of the Trust by more than one Relevant Trustee, it being understood that nothing
herein or in such amendment shall constitute such Relevant Trustees co-trustees and upon the execution and delivery of such amendment
the resignation or removal of the retiring Relevant Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such
successor Relevant Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts
and duties of the retiring Relevant Trustee; but, on request of the Trust 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 Securities and the Trust subject to the payment of all
unpaid fees, expenses and indemnities of such retiring Relevant Trustee.


 


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


 


(h)          The
Holders of the Capital Securities will have no right to vote to appoint, remove or replace the Administrators, which voting rights
are vested exclusively in the Holders of the Common Securities.


 


(i)          Any
successor Delaware Trustee shall file an amendment to the Certificate of Trust with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware
identifying the name and principal place of business of such Delaware Trustee in the State of Delaware.


 




     22


     


    

 


Section 4.6.      Vacancies
Among Trustees. If a Trustee ceases to hold office for any reason and the number of Trustees is not reduced pursuant to
Section 4.1, a vacancy shall occur. A resolution certifying the existence of such vacancy by the Trustees or, if there are more
than two, a majority of the Trustees, shall be conclusive evidence of the existence of such vacancy. The vacancy shall be filled
with a Trustee appointed in accordance with Section 4.5.


 


Section 4.7.      Effect
of Vacancies. The death, resignation, retirement, removal, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation, incompetence or incapacity
to perform the duties of a Trustee shall not operate to dissolve, terminate or annul the Trust or terminate this Declaration.
Whenever a vacancy in the number of Trustees shall occur, until such vacancy is filled by the appointment of a Trustee in accordance
with Section 4.5, the Institutional Trustee shall have all the powers granted to the Trustees and shall discharge all the duties
imposed upon the Trustees by this Declaration.


 


Section 4.8.      Meetings
of the Trustees and the Administrators. Meetings of the Administrators shall be held from time to time upon the call of
an Administrator. Regular meetings of the Administrators may be held in person in the United States or by telephone, at a place
(if applicable) and time fixed by resolution of the Administrators. Notice of any in-person meetings of the Trustees with the
Administrators or meetings of the Administrators shall be hand delivered or otherwise delivered in writing (including by facsimile,
with a hard copy by overnight courier) not less than 48 hours before such meeting. Notice of any telephonic meetings of the Trustees
with the Administrators or meetings of the Administrators or any committee thereof shall be hand delivered or otherwise delivered
in writing (including by facsimile, with a hard copy by overnight courier) not less than 24 hours before a meeting. Notices shall
contain a brief statement of the time, place and anticipated purposes of the meeting. The presence (whether in person or by telephone)
of a Trustee or an Administrator, as the case may be, at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting except
where the Trustee or an Administrator, as the case may be, attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction
of any activity on the grounds that the meeting has not been lawfully called or convened. Unless provided otherwise in this Declaration,
any action of the Trustees or the Administrators, as the case may be, may be taken at a meeting by vote of a majority of the Trustees
or the Administrators present (whether in person or by telephone) and eligible to vote with respect to such matter, provided that
a Quorum is present, or without a meeting by the unanimous written consent of the Trustees or the Administrators. Meetings of
the Trustees and the Administrators together shall be held from time to time upon the call of any Trustee or an Administrator.


 


Section 4.9.      Delegation
of Power. 


 


(a)          Any
Administrator may, by power of attorney consistent with applicable law, delegate to any other natural person over the age of 21
that is a U.S. Person his or her power for the purpose of executing any documents contemplated in Section 2.6; and


 


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


 


Section 4.10.      Conversion,
Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any Person into which the Institutional 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 the Institutional Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially
all the corporate trust business of the Institutional Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall be the successor of the Institutional
Trustee or the Delaware Trustee hereunder, provided such Person shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article and,
provided, further, that such Person shall file an amendment to the Certificate of Trust with the Secretary of State
of the State of Delaware as contemplated in Section 4.5(i).

DISTRIBUTIONS 


 


Section 5.1.      Distributions.
Holders shall receive Distributions in accordance with the applicable terms of the relevant Holder’s Securities. Distributions
shall be made on the Capital Securities and the Common Securities in accordance with the preferences set forth in their respective
terms. If and to the extent that the Debenture Issuer makes a payment of Interest or any principal on the Debentures held by the
Institutional Trustee, the Institutional Trustee shall and is directed, to the extent funds are available for that purpose, to
make a distribution (a “Distribution”) of such amounts to Holders.


 


ARTICLE
VI


 


ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES


 


Section
6.1.      General Provisions Regarding Securities. 


 


(a)          The
Administrators shall, on behalf of the Trust, issue one series of capital securities substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 representing
undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust having such terms as are set forth in Annex I and one series of common
securities representing undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust having such terms as are set forth in Annex I.
The Trust shall issue no securities or other interests in the assets of the Trust other than the Capital Securities and the Common
Securities. The Capital Securities rank pari passu to, and payment thereon shall be made Pro Rata with, the Common Securities
except that, where an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the rights of Holders of the Common Securities to payment
in respect of Distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption and otherwise are subordinated to the rights to payment of
the Holders of the Capital Securities as set forth in Annex I.


 


(b)          The
Certificates shall be signed on behalf of the Trust by one or more Administrators. Such signature shall be the facsimile or manual
signature of any Administrator. In case any Administrator of the Trust who shall have signed any of the Securities shall cease
to be such Administrator before the Certificates so signed shall be delivered by the Trust, such Certificates nevertheless may
be delivered as though the person who signed such Certificates had not ceased to be such Administrator, and any Certificate may
be signed on behalf of the Trust by such persons who, at the actual date of execution of such Security, shall be an Administrator
of the Trust, although at the date of the execution and delivery of the Declaration any such person was not such an Administrator.
A Capital Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the facsimile or manual signature of an Authorized Officer of the
Institutional Trustee. Such signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Capital Security has been authenticated under this
Declaration. Upon written order of the Trust signed by one Administrator, the Institutional Trustee shall authenticate the Capital
Securities for original issue. The Institutional Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent that is a U.S. Person acceptable to
the Trust to authenticate the Capital Securities. A Common Security need not be so authenticated.


 


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


 




     24


     


    

  


(d)          Upon
issuance of the Securities as provided in this Declaration, the Securities so issued shall be deemed to be validly issued, fully
paid and, except as provided in Section 9.1(b) with respect to the Common Securities, non-assessable.


 


(e)          Every
Person, by virtue of having become a Holder in accordance with the terms of this Declaration, shall be deemed to have expressly
assented and agreed to the terms of, and shall be bound by, this Declaration and the Guarantee.


 


Section 6.2.      Paying
Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar. The Trust shall maintain in Wilmington, Delaware, an office or agency where the Capital
Securities may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”), and an office or agency where Securities may be presented
for registration of transfer or exchange (the “Transfer Agent”). The Trust shall keep or cause to be kept at
such office or agency a register for the purpose of registering Securities, transfers and exchanges of Securities, such register
to be held by a registrar (the “Registrar”). The Administrators may appoint the Paying Agent, the Registrar
and the Transfer Agent and may appoint one or more additional Paying Agents or one or more co-Registrars, or one or more co Transfer
Agents in such other locations as it shall determine. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent,
the term “Registrar” includes any additional registrar or co Registrar and the term “Transfer Agent” includes
any additional transfer agent. The Administrators may change any Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar at any time without
prior notice to any Holder. The Administrators shall notify the Institutional Trustee of the name and address of any Paying Agent,
Transfer Agent and Registrar not a party to this Declaration. The Administrators hereby initially appoint the Institutional Trustee
to act as Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar for the Capital Securities and the Common Securities. The Institutional Trustee
or any of its Affiliates in the United States may act as Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar.


 


Section 6.3.      Form
and Dating. The Capital Securities and the Institutional Trustee’s certificate of authentication thereon shall be
substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1, and the Common Securities shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2, each of
which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Declaration. Certificates may be typed, printed, lithographed
or engraved or may be produced in any other manner as is reasonably acceptable to the Administrators, as conclusively evidenced
by their execution thereof. The Securities may have letters, numbers, notations or other marks of identification or designation
and such legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule, agreements to which the Trust is subject if any, or usage
(provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Sponsor). The Trust at the direction of
the Sponsor shall furnish any such legend not contained in Exhibit A-1 to the Institutional Trustee in writing. Each Capital Security
shall be dated on or before the date of its authentication. The terms and provisions of the Securities set forth in Annex I and
the forms of Securities set forth in Exhibits A-1 and A-2 are part of the terms of this Declaration and to the extent applicable,
the Institutional Trustee, the Delaware Trustee, the Administrators and the Sponsor, by their execution and delivery of this Declaration,
expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. Capital Securities will be issued only in blocks having
a stated liquidation amount of not less than $100,000.00 and any multiple of $1,000.00 in excess thereof.


 


The Capital Securities are being offered
and sold by the Trust pursuant to the Placement Agreement in definitive, registered form without coupons and with the Restricted
Securities Legend.


 


Section 6.4.      Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. 


 


If:


 


(a)          any
mutilated Certificates should be surrendered to the Registrar, or if the Registrar shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of
the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate; and


 




     25


     


    

 


(b)          there
shall be delivered to the Registrar, the Administrators and the Institutional Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required
by them to keep each of them harmless;


 


then, in the absence of notice that such
Certificate shall have been acquired by a protected purchaser, an Administrator on behalf of the Trust shall execute (and in the
case of a Capital Security Certificate, the Institutional Trustee shall authenticate) and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of
any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like denomination. In connection with the issuance
of any new Certificate under this Section 6.4, the Registrar or the Administrators may require the payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant
to this Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of an ownership interest in the relevant Securities, as if originally issued,
whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.


 


Section 6.5.      Temporary
Securities. Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Administrators may prepare and, in the case of the
Capital Securities, the Institutional Trustee shall authenticate, temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially
in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Administrators consider appropriate for temporary Securities.
Without unreasonable delay, the Administrators shall prepare and, in the case of the Capital Securities, the Institutional Trustee
shall authenticate, definitive Securities in exchange for temporary Securities.


 


Section 6.6.      Cancellation.
The Administrators at any time may deliver Securities to the Institutional Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar shall forward
to the Institutional Trustee any Securities surrendered to it for registration of transfer, redemption or payment. The Institutional
Trustee shall promptly cancel all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, payment, replacement or cancellation and
shall dispose of such canceled Securities as the Administrators direct. The Administrators may not issue new Securities to replace
Securities that have been paid or that have been delivered to the Institutional Trustee for cancellation.


 


Section 6.7.      Rights
of Holders; Waivers of Past Defaults. 


 


(a)          The
legal title to the Trust Property is vested exclusively in the Institutional Trustee (in its capacity as such) in accordance with
Section 2.5, and the Holders shall not have any right or title therein other than the undivided beneficial interest in the assets
of the Trust conferred by their Securities and they shall have no right to call for any partition or division of property, profits
or rights of the Trust except as described below. The Securities shall be personal property giving only the rights specifically
set forth therein and in this Declaration. The Securities shall have no preemptive or similar rights.


 


(b)          For
so long as any Capital Securities remain outstanding, if upon an Acceleration Event of Default, the Debenture Trustee fails or
the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Debentures fail to declare the principal of all of the
Debentures to be immediately due and payable, the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Capital Securities then outstanding
shall have the right to make such declaration by a notice in writing to the Institutional Trustee, the Sponsor and the Debenture
Trustee.


 


At any time after a
declaration of acceleration with respect to the Debentures has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money
due has been obtained by the Debenture Trustee as provided in the Indenture, if the Institutional Trustee, subject to the provisions
hereof, fails to annul any such declaration and waive such default, the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Capital
Securities, by written notice to the Institutional Trustee, the Sponsor and the Debenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration
and its consequences if:


 




     26


     


    

 


(i)          the
Debenture Issuer has paid or deposited with the Debenture Trustee a sum sufficient to pay


 


(A) all overdue installments of interest on all of
the Debentures,


 


(B) any accrued Additional Interest on all of the
Debentures,


 


(C) the principal
of (and premium, if any, on) any Debentures that have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest
and Additional Interest thereon at the rate borne by the Debentures, and


 


(D) all sums
paid or advanced by the Debenture Trustee under the Indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances
of the Debenture Trustee and the Institutional Trustee, their agents and counsel; and


 


(ii)         all
Events of Default with respect to the Debentures, other than the non-payment of the principal of the Debentures that has become
due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.7 of the Indenture.


 


The Holders of at least
a Majority in liquidation amount of the Capital Securities may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Capital Securities, waive any
past default under the Indenture or any Indenture Event of Default, except a default or Indenture Event of Default in the payment
of principal or interest on the Debentures (unless such default or Indenture Event of Default has been cured and a sum sufficient
to pay all matured installments of interest and principal due otherwise than by acceleration has been deposited with the Debenture
Trustee) or a default under the Indenture or an Indenture Event of Default in respect of a covenant or provision that under the
Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding Debenture. No such rescission shall
affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.


 


Upon receipt by the
Institutional Trustee of written notice declaring such an acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof, by Holders of any
part of the Capital Securities, a record date shall be established for determining Holders of outstanding Capital Securities entitled
to join in such notice, which record date shall be at the close of business on the day the Institutional Trustee receives such
notice. The Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in
such notice, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, that unless such declaration
of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage
having joined in such notice prior to the day that is 90 days after such record date, such notice of declaration of acceleration,
or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be canceled and
of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a Holder, or a proxy of a Holder, from giving, after expiration
of such 90-day period, a new written notice of declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof, as the case may
be, that is identical to a written notice that has been canceled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in which event
a new record date shall be established pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.7.


 


(c)          Except
as otherwise provided in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 6.7, the Holders of at least a Majority in liquidation amount of
the Capital Securities may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Capital Securities, waive any past default or Event of Default
and its consequences. Upon such waiver, any such default or Event of Default shall cease to exist, and any default or Event of
Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Declaration, but no such waiver shall extend
to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

ARTICLE VIII


 


TRANSFER OF INTERESTS


 


Section 8.1.         General.



 


(a)          Subject
to Section 8.1(c), where Capital Securities are presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer
or to exchange them for an equal number of Capital Securities represented by different certificates, the Registrar shall register
the transfer or make the exchange if its requirements for such transactions are met. To permit registrations of transfer and exchanges,
the Trust shall issue and the Institutional Trustee shall authenticate Capital Securities at the Registrar’s request.


 




    28


     


    

  


(b)          Upon
issuance of the Common Securities, the Sponsor shall acquire and retain beneficial and record ownership of the Common Securities
and for so long as the Securities remain outstanding, and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Sponsor shall
maintain 100% ownership of the Common Securities; provided, however, that any permitted successor of the Sponsor, in its capacity
as Debenture Issuer, under the Indenture that is a U.S. Person may succeed to the Sponsor’s ownership of the Common Securities.


 


(c)          Capital
Securities may only be transferred, in whole or in part, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Declaration
and in the terms of the Securities. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any transfer or purported transfer of any
Security not made in accordance with this Declaration shall be null and void and will be deemed to be of no legal effect whatsoever
and any such transferee shall be deemed not to be the holder of such Capital Securities for any purpose, including but not limited
to the receipt of Distributions on such Capital Securities, and such transferee shall be deemed to have no interest whatsoever
in such Capital Securities.


 


(d)          The
Registrar shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities, which will be effected without charge
but only upon payment (with such indemnity as the Registrar may require) in respect of any tax or other governmental charges that
may be imposed in relation to it. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Securities, the Registrar shall cause one
or more new Securities of the same tenor to be issued in the name of the designated transferee or transferees. Every Security surrendered
for registration of transfer shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly
executed by the Holder or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Security surrendered for registration of
transfer shall be canceled by the Institutional Trustee pursuant to Section 6.6. A transferee of a Security shall be entitled to
the rights and subject to the obligations of a Holder hereunder upon the receipt by such transferee of a Security. By acceptance
of a Security, each transferee shall be deemed to have agreed to be bound by this Declaration.


 


(e)          The
Trust shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of, or exchange any Securities during a period beginning at the
opening of business fifteen days before the day of any selection of Securities for redemption and ending at the close of business
on the earliest date on which the relevant notice of redemption is deemed to have been given to all Holders of the Securities to
be redeemed, or (ii) to register the transfer or exchange of any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except
the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.


 


Section 8.2.        Transfer
Procedures and Restrictions. 


 


(a)          The
Capital Securities shall bear the Restricted Securities Legend, which shall not be removed unless there is delivered to the Trust
such satisfactory evidence, which may include an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Institutional Trustee, as may be reasonably
required by the Trust, that neither the legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers
thereof comply with the provisions of the Securities Act. Upon provision of such satisfactory evidence, the Institutional Trustee,
at the written direction of the Trust, shall authenticate and deliver Capital Securities that do not bear the legend.


 


(b)          Except
as permitted by Section 8.2(a), each Capital Security shall bear a legend (the “Restricted Securities Legend”)
in substantially the following form and a Capital Security shall not be transferred except in compliance with such legend, unless
otherwise determined by the Sponsor, upon the advice of counsel expert in securities law, in accordance with applicable law:

ARTICLE IX 


 


LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF 


HOLDERS OF SECURITIES, INSTITUTIONAL TRUSTEE
OR OTHERS 


 


Section 9.1.        Liability.



 


(a)          Except
as expressly set forth in this Declaration, the Guarantee and the terms of the Securities, the Sponsor shall not be:


 




    31


     


    

  


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


 


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


 


(b)          The
Holder of the Common Securities shall be liable for all of the debts and obligations of the Trust (other than with respect to the
Securities) to the extent not satisfied out of the Trust’s assets.


 


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


 


Section 9.2.         Exculpation.



 


(a)          No
Indemnified Person shall be liable, responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Trust or any Covered Person for any
loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Indemnified Person in good faith on
behalf of the Trust and in a manner such Indemnified Person reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred
on such Indemnified Person by this Declaration or by law, except that an Indemnified Person shall be liable for any such loss,
damage or claim incurred by reason of such Indemnified Person’s negligence or willful misconduct with respect to such acts
or omissions.


 


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


 


Section 9.3.         Fiduciary
Duty. 


 


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


 


(b)          Whenever
in this Declaration an Indemnified Person is permitted or required to make a decision:


 


(i)          in
its “discretion” or under a grant of similar authority, the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to consider such interests
and factors as it desires, including its own interests, and shall have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest
of or factors affecting the Trust or any other Person; or


 




    32


     


    

  


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


 


Section 9.4.         Indemnification.



 


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


 


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


 


(c)          To
the extent that an Indemnified Person shall be successful on the merits or otherwise (including dismissal of an action without
prejudice or the settlement of an action without admission of liability) in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred
to in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 9.4, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified,
to the full extent permitted by law, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) actually and reasonably incurred
by him in connection therewith.


 


(d)          Any
indemnification of an Administrator under paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 9.4 (unless ordered by a court) shall be made
by the Sponsor only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the Indemnified Person is proper
in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b). Such determination
shall be made (i) by the Administrators by a majority vote of a Quorum consisting of such Administrators who were not parties to
such action, suit or proceeding, (ii) if such a Quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, if a Quorum of disinterested
Administrators so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iii) by the Common Security Holder of the Trust.


 




    33


     


    

  


(e)          To
the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by an Indemnified
Person in defending a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding referred to in paragraphs (a)
and (b) of this Section 9.4 shall be paid by the Sponsor in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding
upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined
that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Sponsor as authorized in this Section 9.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no advance
shall be made by the Sponsor if a determination is reasonably and promptly made (i) by the Administrators by a majority vote of
a Quorum of disinterested Administrators, (ii) if such a Quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, if a quorum of disinterested
Administrators so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion or (iii) by the Common Security Holder of the Trust,
that, based upon the facts known to the Administrators, counsel or the Common Security Holder at the time such determination is
made, such Indemnified Person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such Indemnified Person did not believe to be in the best
interests of the Trust, or, with respect to any criminal proceeding, that such Indemnified Person believed or had reasonable cause
to believe his conduct was unlawful. In no event shall any advance be made in instances where the Administrators, independent legal
counsel or the Common Security Holder reasonably determine that such Indemnified Person deliberately breached his duty to the Trust
or its Common or Capital Security Holders.


 


(f)           The
Trustees, at the sole cost and expense of the Sponsor, retain the right to representation by counsel of their own choosing in any
action, suit or any other proceeding for which they are indemnified under paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 9.4, without affecting
their right to indemnification hereunder or waiving any rights afforded to it under this Declaration or applicable law.


 


(g)          The
indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other paragraphs of this Section 9.4 shall
not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification and advancement of expenses may be entitled
under any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors of the Sponsor or Capital Security Holders of the Trust or
otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. All rights
to indemnification under this Section 9.4 shall be deemed to be provided by a contract between the Sponsor and each Indemnified
Person who serves in such capacity at any time while this Section 9.4 is in effect. Any repeal or modification of this Section
9.4 shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing.


 


(h)          The
Sponsor or the Trust may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Person who is or was an Indemnified Person against any
liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the
Sponsor would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Section 9.4.


 


(i)           For
purposes of this Section 9.4, references to “the Trust” shall include, in addition to the resulting or surviving entity,
any constituent entity (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger, so that any Person who
is or was a director, trustee, officer or employee of such constituent entity, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent
entity as a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of another entity, shall stand in the same position under the provisions
of this Section 9.4 with respect to the resulting or surviving entity as he would have with respect to such constituent entity
if its separate existence had continued.


 


(j)           The
indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section 9.4 shall, unless otherwise provided
when authorized or ratified, (i) continue as to a Person who has ceased to be an Indemnified Person and shall inure to the benefit
of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a Person; and (ii) survive the termination or expiration of this Declaration
or the earlier removal or resignation of an Indemnified Person.


 




    34


     


    

  


Section 9.5.        Outside
Businesses. Any Covered Person, the Sponsor, the Delaware Trustee and the Institutional Trustee may engage in or possess
an interest in other business ventures of any nature or description, independently or with others, similar or dissimilar to the
business of the Trust, and the Trust and the Holders of Securities shall have no rights by virtue of this Declaration in and to
such independent ventures or the income or profits derived therefrom, and the pursuit of any such venture, even if competitive
with the business of the Trust, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper. None of any Covered Person, the Sponsor, the Delaware
Trustee or the Institutional Trustee shall be obligated to present any particular investment or other opportunity to the Trust
even if such opportunity is of a character that, if presented to the Trust, could be taken by the Trust, and any Covered Person,
the Sponsor, the Delaware Trustee and the Institutional Trustee shall have the right to take for its own account (individually
or as a partner or fiduciary) or to recommend to others any such particular investment or other opportunity. Any Covered Person,
the Delaware Trustee and the Institutional Trustee may engage or be interested in any financial or other transaction with the Sponsor
or any Affiliate of the Sponsor, or may act as depositary for, trustee or agent for, or act on any committee or body of holders
of, securities or other obligations of the Sponsor or its Affiliates.


 


Section 9.6.        Compensation;
Fee. The Sponsor agrees:


 


(a)          to
pay to the Trustees from time to time such compensation for all services rendered by them hereunder as the parties shall agree
from time to time (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of
an express trust); and


 


(b)          except
as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustees upon request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances
incurred or made by the Trustees in accordance with any provision of this Declaration (including the reasonable compensation and
the expenses and disbursements of their respective agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may
be attributable to its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.


 


For purposes of clarification,
this Section 9.6 does not contemplate the payment by the Sponsor of acceptance or annual administration fees owing to the Trustees
under this Declaration or the fees and expenses of the Trustees’ counsel in connection with the closing of the transactions
contemplated by this Declaration.


 


The provisions of this Section 9.6 shall survive
the dissolution of the Trust and the termination of this Declaration and the removal or resignation of any Trustee.


 


No Trustee may claim any lien or charge on any
property of the Trust as a result of any amount due pursuant to this Section 9.6.

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

to consider and act on any matter on which Holders of such class of Securities are entitled to act under the terms of this Declaration
or the terms of the Securities. The Administrators shall call a meeting of the Holders of such class if directed to do so by the
Holders of at least 10% in liquidation amount of such class of Securities. Such direction shall be given by delivering to the Administrators
one or more calls in a writing stating that the signing Holders of the Securities wish to call a meeting and indicating the general
or specific purpose for which the meeting is to be called. Any Holders of the Securities calling a meeting shall specify in writing
the Certificates held by the Holders of the Securities exercising the right to call a meeting and only those Securities represented
by such Certificates shall be counted for purposes of determining whether the required percentage set forth in the second sentence
of this paragraph has been met.


 


(b)          Except
to the extent otherwise provided in the terms of the Securities, the following provisions shall apply to meetings of Holders of
the Securities:


 


(i)          notice
of any such meeting shall be given to all the Holders of the Securities having a right to vote thereat at least 7 days and not
more than 60 days before the date of such meeting. Whenever a vote, consent or approval of the Holders of the Securities is permitted
or required under this Declaration, such vote, consent or approval may be given at a meeting of the Holders of the Securities.
Any action that may be taken at a meeting of the Holders of the Securities may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing
setting forth the action so taken is signed by the Holders of the Securities owning not less than the minimum amount of Securities
in liquidation amount that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all Holders of the Securities
having a right to vote thereon were present and voting. Prompt notice of the taking of action without a meeting shall be given
to the Holders of the Securities entitled to vote who have not consented in writing. The Administrators may specify that any written
ballot submitted to the Holders of the Securities for the purpose of taking any action without a meeting shall be returned to the
Trust within the time specified by the Administrators;


 


(ii)         each
Holder of a Security may authorize any Person to act for it by proxy on all matters in which a Holder of Securities is entitled
to participate, including waiving notice of any meeting, or voting or participating at a meeting. No proxy shall be valid after
the expiration of 11 months from the date thereof unless otherwise provided in the proxy. Every proxy shall be revocable at the
pleasure of the Holder of the Securities executing it. Except as otherwise provided herein, all matters relating to the giving,
voting or validity of proxies shall be governed by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware relating to proxies, and
judicial interpretations thereunder, as if the Trust were a Delaware corporation and the Holders of the Securities were stockholders
of a Delaware corporation; each meeting of the Holders of the Securities shall be conducted by the Administrators or by such other
Person that the Administrators may designate; and


 




    38


     


    

  


(iii)        unless
the Statutory Trust Act, this Declaration, or the terms of the Securities otherwise provides, the Administrators, in their sole

place or purpose of any meeting at which any matter is to be voted on by any Holders of the Securities, waiver of any such notice,
action by consent without a meeting, the establishment of a record date, quorum requirements, voting in person or by proxy or

ANNEX I


 


TERMS OF SECURITIES


 


Pursuant to Section
6.1 of the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust, dated as of September 20, 2007 (as amended from time to time, the “Declaration”),
the designation, rights, privileges, restrictions, preferences and other terms and provisions of the Capital Securities and the
Common Securities are set out below (each capitalized term used but not defined herein has the meaning set forth in the Declaration):


 


1.            Designation
and Number.


 


(a)          7,000
Fixed/Floating Rate Capital Securities of Coast Bancorp Statutory Trust II (the “Trust”), with an aggregate stated
liquidation amount with respect to the assets of the Trust of seven million dollars ($7,000,000.00) and a stated liquidation amount
with respect to the assets of the Trust of $1,000.00 per Capital Security, are hereby designated for the purposes of identification
only as the “Capital Securities”. The Capital Security Certificates evidencing the Capital Securities shall
be substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 to the Declaration, with such changes and additions thereto or deletions therefrom
as may be required by ordinary usage, custom or practice.


 


(b)          217
Fixed/Floating Rate Common Securities of the Trust (the “Common Securities”) will be evidenced by Common Security Certificates
substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2 to the Declaration, with such changes and additions thereto or deletions therefrom as
may be required by ordinary usage, custom or practice.


 


2.            Distributions.


 


(a)          Distributions
will be payable on each Security for the Distribution Period beginning on (and including) the date of original issuance and ending
on (but excluding) the Distribution Payment Date in December 2012 at a rate per annum of 6.388% and shall bear interest for each
successive Distribution Period beginning on (and including) the Distribution Payment Date in December 2012, and each succeeding
Distribution Payment Date, and ending on (but excluding) the next succeeding Distribution Payment Date at a rate per annum equal
to the 3-Month LIBOR, determined as described below, plus 1.50% (the “Coupon Rate”), applied to the stated liquidation
amount thereof, such rate being the rate of interest payable on the Debentures to be held by the Institutional Trustee. Distributions
in arrears will bear interest thereon compounded quarterly at the applicable Distribution Rate (to the extent permitted by law).
Distributions, as used herein, include cash distributions and any such compounded distributions unless otherwise noted. A Distribution
is payable only to the extent that payments are made in respect of the Debentures held by the Institutional Trustee and to the
extent the Institutional Trustee has funds available therefor. The amount of the Distribution payable (i) for any Distribution
Period commencing on or after the date of original issuance but before the Distribution Payment Date in December 2012 will be computed
on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, and (ii) for the Distribution Period commencing on the Distribution Payment
Date in December 2012 and each succeeding Distribution Period will be calculated by applying the Distribution Rate to the stated
liquidation amount outstanding at the commencement of the Distribution Period and multiplying each such number by the actual number
of days in the Distribution Period concerned divided by 360. All percentages resulting from any calculations on the Capital Securities
will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage
point rounded upward (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) being rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655), and all dollar amounts used in or
resulting from such calculation will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upward)).


 




    	 	I-1	 



     


    

  


(b)          Distributions
on the Securities will be cumulative, will accrue from the date of original issuance, and will be payable, subject to extension
of distribution payment periods as described herein, quarterly in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of
each year, or if such day is not a Business Day, then the next succeeding Business Day (each a “Distribution Payment Date”)
(it being understood that interest accrues for any such non-Business Day, beginning on or after December 15, 2012), commencing
on the Distribution Payment Date in December 2007 when, as and if available for payment. The Debenture Issuer has the right under
the Indenture to defer payments of interest on the Debentures, so long as no Acceleration Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, by extending the payment period on the Debentures for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods (each an “Extension
Period”) at any time and from time to time, subject to the conditions described below, during which Extension Period
no interest shall be due and payable. During any Extension Period, interest will continue to accrue on the Debentures, and interest
on such accrued interest will accrue at an annual rate equal to the Distribution Rate in effect for each such Extension Period,
compounded quarterly from the date such interest would have been payable were it not for the Extension Period, to the extent permitted
by law (such interest referred to herein as “Additional Interest”). No Extension Period may end on a date other
than a Distribution Payment Date. At the end of any such Extension Period, the Debenture Issuer shall pay all interest then accrued
and unpaid on the Debentures (together with Additional Interest thereon); provided, however, that no Extension Period
may extend beyond the Maturity Date and provided further, however, that during any such Extension Period,
the Debenture Issuer and its Affiliates shall not (i) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire,
or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of the Debenture Issuer’s or its Affiliates’ capital stock (other
than payments of dividends or distributions to the Debenture Issuer or payments of dividends from direct or indirect subsidiaries
of the Debenture Issuer to their parent corporations, which also shall be direct or indirect subsidiaries of the Debenture Issuer)
or make any guarantee payments with respect to the foregoing, or (ii) make any payment of principal of or interest or premium,
if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities of the Debenture Issuer or any Affiliate that rank pari passu
in all respects with or junior in interest to the Debentures (other than, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, (a) repurchases,
redemptions or other acquisitions of shares of capital stock of the Debenture Issuer in connection with any employment contract,
benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of one or more employees, officers, directors or consultants,
in connection with a dividend reinvestment or stockholder stock purchase plan or in connection with the issuance of capital stock
of the Debenture Issuer (or securities convertible into or exercisable for such capital stock) as consideration in an acquisition
transaction entered into prior to the applicable Extension Period, (b) as a result of any exchange or conversion of any class or
series of the Debenture Issuer’s capital stock (or any capital stock of a subsidiary of the Debenture Issuer) for any class
or series of the Debenture Issuer’s capital stock or of any class or series of the Debenture Issuer’s indebtedness
for any class or series of the Debenture Issuer’s capital stock, (c) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of the
Debenture Issuer’s capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such capital stock or the security
being converted or exchanged, (d) any declaration of a dividend in connection with any stockholders’ rights plan, or the
issuance of rights, stock or other property under any stockholders’ rights plan, or the redemption or repurchase of rights
pursuant thereto, (e) any dividend in the form of stock, warrants, options or other rights where the dividend stock or the stock
issuable upon exercise of such warrants, options or other rights is the same stock as that on which the dividend is being paid
or ranks pari passu with or junior to such stock and any cash payments in lieu of fractional shares issued in connection
therewith, (f) payments of principal or interest on debt securities or payments of cash dividends or distributions on any capital
stock issued by an Affiliate that is not, in whole or in part, a subsidiary of the Debenture Issuer (or any redemptions, repurchases
or liquidation payments on such stock or securities), or (g) payments under the Capital Securities Guarantee). Prior to the termination
of any Extension Period, the Debenture Issuer may further extend such period, provided that such period together with all such
previous and further consecutive extensions thereof shall not exceed 20 consecutive quarterly periods, or extend beyond the Maturity
Date. Upon the termination of any Extension Period and upon the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest,
the Debenture Issuer may commence a new Extension Period, subject to the foregoing requirements. No interest or Additional Interest
shall be due and payable during an Extension Period, except at the end thereof, but each installment of interest that would otherwise
have been due and payable during such Extension Period shall bear Additional Interest. During any Extension Period, Distributions
on the Securities shall be deferred for a period equal to the Extension Period. If Distributions are deferred, the Distributions
due shall be paid on the date that the related Extension Period terminates to Holders of the Securities as they appear on the books
and records of the Trust on the record date immediately preceding such date. Distributions on the Securities must be paid on the
dates payable (after giving effect to any Extension Period) to the extent that the Trust has funds available for the payment of
such distributions in the Property Account of the Trust. The Trust’s funds available for Distribution to the Holders of the
Securities will be limited to payments received from the Debenture Issuer. The payment of Distributions out of moneys held by the
Trust is guaranteed by the Guarantor pursuant to the Guarantee.


 




    	 	I-2	 



     


    

  


(c)          Distributions
on the Securities will be payable to the Holders thereof as they appear on the books and records of the Trust on the relevant record
dates. The relevant record dates shall be fifteen days before the relevant Distribution Payment Date. Distributions payable on
any Securities that are not punctually paid on any Distribution Payment Date, as a result of the Debenture Issuer having failed
to make a payment under the Debentures, as the case may be, when due (taking into account any Extension Period), will cease to
be payable to the Person in whose name such Securities are registered on the relevant record date, and such defaulted Distribution
will instead be payable to the Person in whose name such Securities are registered on the special record date or other specified
date determined in accordance with the Indenture.


 


(d)          In
the event that there is any money or other property held by or for the Trust that is not accounted for hereunder, such property
shall be distributed Pro Rata (as defined herein) among the Holders of the Securities.


 


3.            Liquidation
Distribution Upon Dissolution. In the event of the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, winding-up or termination
of the Trust (each a “Liquidation”) other than in connection with a redemption of the Debentures, the Holders
of the Securities will be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Trust available for distribution to Holders of the Securities,
after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Trust (to the extent not satisfied by the Debenture Issuer), distributions
equal to the aggregate of the stated liquidation amount of $1,000.00 per Security plus accrued and unpaid Distributions thereon
to the date of payment (such amount being the “Liquidation Distribution”), unless in connection with such Liquidation,
the Debentures in an aggregate stated principal amount equal to the aggregate stated liquidation amount of such Securities, with
an interest rate equal to the Distribution Rate of, and bearing accrued and unpaid interest in an amount equal to the accrued and
unpaid Distributions on, and having the same record date as, such Securities, after paying or making reasonable provision to pay
all claims and obligations of the Trust in accordance with the Statutory Trust Act, shall be distributed on a Pro Rata basis to
the Holders of the Securities in exchange for such Securities.


 


The Sponsor, as the Holder
of all of the Common Securities, has the right at any time to dissolve the Trust (including, without limitation, upon the occurrence
of a Special Event), subject to the receipt by the Debenture Issuer of prior approval from the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System, or its designated district bank, as applicable, and any successor federal agency that is primarily responsible
for regulating the activities of the Sponsor (the “Federal Reserve”), if the Sponsor is a bank holding company,
or from the Office of Thrift Supervision and any successor federal agency that is primarily responsible for regulating the activities
of Sponsor, (the “OTS”) if the Sponsor is a savings and loan holding company, in either case if then required
under applicable capital guidelines or policies of the Federal Reserve or OTS, as applicable, and, after satisfaction of liabilities
to creditors of the Trust, cause the Debentures to be distributed to the Holders of the Securities on a Pro Rata basis in accordance
with the aggregate stated liquidation amount thereof.


 




    	 	I-3	 



     


    

  


If a Liquidation of the
Trust occurs as described in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (v) in Section 7.1(a) of the Declaration, the Trust shall be liquidated
by the Institutional Trustee as expeditiously as it determines to be possible by distributing, after satisfaction of liabilities
to creditors of the Trust, to the Holders of the Securities, the Debentures on a Pro Rata basis to the extent not satisfied by
the Debenture Issuer, unless such distribution is determined by the Institutional Trustee not to be practical, in which event such
Holders will be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Trust available for distribution to the Holders, after satisfaction
of liabilities of creditors of the Trust to the extent not satisfied by the Debenture Issuer, an amount equal to the Liquidation
Distribution. An early Liquidation of the Trust pursuant to clause (iv) of Section 7.1(a) of the Declaration shall occur if the
Institutional Trustee determines that such Liquidation is possible by distributing, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors
of the Trust, to the Holders of the Securities on a Pro Rata basis, the Debentures, and such distribution occurs.


 


If, upon any such Liquidation
the Liquidation Distribution can be paid only in part because the Trust has insufficient assets available to pay in full the aggregate
Liquidation Distribution, then the amounts payable directly by the Trust on such Capital Securities shall be paid to the Holders
of the Trust Securities on a Pro Rata basis, except that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Capital Securities
shall have a preference over the Common Securities with regard to such distributions.


 


After the date for any
distribution of the Debentures upon dissolution of the Trust (i) the Securities of the Trust will be deemed to be no longer outstanding,
(ii) upon surrender of a Holder’s Securities certificate, such Holder of the Securities will receive a certificate representing
the Debentures to be delivered upon such distribution, (iii) any certificates representing the Securities still outstanding will
be deemed to represent undivided beneficial interests in such of the Debentures as have an aggregate principal amount equal to
the aggregate stated liquidation amount with an interest rate identical to the Distribution Rate of, and bearing accrued and unpaid
interest equal to accrued and unpaid distributions on, the Securities until such certificates are presented to the Debenture Issuer
or its agent for transfer or reissuance (and until such certificates are so surrendered, no payments of interest or principal shall
be made to Holders of Securities in respect of any payments due and payable under the Debentures; provided, however that such failure
to pay shall not be deemed to be an Event of Default and shall not entitle the Holder to the benefits of the Guarantee), and (iv)
all rights of Holders of Securities under the Declaration shall cease, except the right of such Holders to receive Debentures upon
surrender of certificates representing such Securities.


 


4.            Redemption
and Distribution.


 


(a)          The
Debentures will mature on December 15, 2037. The Debentures may be redeemed by the Debenture Issuer, in whole or in part, at any
Distribution Payment Date on or after the Distribution Payment Date in December 2012, at the Redemption Price. In addition, the
Debentures may be redeemed by the Debenture Issuer at the Special Redemption Price, in whole but not in part, at any Distribution
Payment Date, upon the occurrence and continuation of a Special Event within 120 days following the occurrence of such Special
Event at the Special Redemption Price, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice to holders of such Debentures
so long as such Special Event is continuing. In each case, the right of the Debenture Issuer to redeem the Debentures is subject
to the Debenture Issuer having received prior approval from the Federal Reserve (if the Debenture Issuer is a bank holding company)
or prior approval from the OTS (if the Debenture Issuer is a savings and loan holding company), in each case if then required under
applicable capital guidelines or policies of the applicable federal agency. The Sponsor shall appoint a Quotation Agent, which
shall be a designee of the Institutional Trustee, for the purpose of performing the services contemplated in or by reference in,
the definition of Special Redemption Price. Any error in the calculation of the Special Redemption Price by the Quotation Agent
or the Debenture Trustee may be corrected at any time by notice delivered to the Sponsor and the holders of the Capital Securities.
Subject to the corrective rights set forth above, all certificates, communications, opinions, determinations, calculations, quotations
and decisions given, expressed, made or obtained for the purposes of the provisions relating to the payment and calculation of
the Special Redemption Price on the Debentures or the Capital Securities by the Debenture Trustee, the Quotation Agent or the Institutional
Trustee, as the case may be, shall (in the absence of willful default, bad faith or manifest error) be final, conclusive and binding
on the holders of the Debentures and the Capital Securities, the Trust and the Sponsor, and no liability shall attach (except as
provided above) to the Debenture Trustee, the Quotation Agent or the Institutional Trustee in connection with the exercise or non-exercise
by any of them of their respective powers, duties and discretion.

“3-Month LIBOR”
means the London interbank offered interest rate for three-month, U.S. dollar deposits determined by the Debenture Trustee in the
following order of priority:


 


(1)         the
rate (expressed as a percentage per annum) for U.S. dollar deposits having a three-month maturity that appears on Reuters Page
LIBOR01 as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the related Determination Date (as defined below). “Reuters Page LIBOR01”
means the display designated as “LIBOR01” on Reuters or such other page as may replace Reuters Page LIBOR01 on that
service or such other service or services as may be nominated by the British Bankers’ Association as the information vendor
for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates for U.S. dollar deposits;


 


(2)         if
such rate cannot be identified on the related Determination Date, the Debenture Trustee will request the principal London offices
of four leading banks in the London interbank market to provide such banks’ offered quotations (expressed as percentages
per annum) to prime banks in the London interbank market for U.S. dollar deposits having a three-month maturity as of 11:00 a.m.
(London time) on such Determination Date. If at least two quotations are provided, 3-Month LIBOR will be the arithmetic mean of
such quotations; 


 


(3)         if
fewer than two such quotations are provided as requested in clause (2) above, the Debenture Trustee will request four major New
York City banks to provide such banks’ offered quotations (expressed as percentages per annum) to leading European banks
for loans in U.S. dollars as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such Determination Date. If at least two such quotations are provided,
3-Month LIBOR will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations; and


 


(4)         if
fewer than two such quotations are provided as requested in clause (3) above, 3-Month LIBOR will be a 3-Month LIBOR determined
with respect to the Distribution Period immediately preceding such current Distribution Period.


 


If the rate for U.S. dollar
deposits having a three-month maturity that initially appears on Reuters Page LIBOR01 as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the related
Determination Date is superseded on the Reuters Page LIBOR01 by a corrected rate by 12:00 noon (London time) on such Determination
Date, then the corrected rate as so substituted on the applicable page will be the applicable 3-Month LIBOR for such Determination
Date.


 


The Distribution Rate for any Distribution Period
will at no time be higher than the maximum rate then permitted by New York law as the same may be modified by United States law.


 




    	 	I-5	 



     


    

  


“Capital Treatment
Event” means the receipt by the Debenture Issuer and the Trust of an opinion of counsel experienced in such matters to
the effect that, as a result of the occurrence of any amendment to, or change (including any announced prospective change) in,
the laws, rules or regulations of the United States or any political subdivision thereof or therein, or as the result of any official
or administrative pronouncement or action or decision interpreting or applying such laws, rules or regulations, which amendment
or change is effective or which pronouncement, action or decision is announced on or after the date of original issuance of the
Debentures, there is more than an insubstantial risk that the Sponsor will not, within 90 days of the date of such opinion, be
entitled to treat an amount equal to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Capital Securities as “Tier 1 Capital”
(or its then equivalent) for purposes of the capital adequacy guidelines of the Federal Reserve, as then in effect and applicable
to the Sponsor (or if the Sponsor is not a bank holding company or otherwise is not subject to the Federal Reserve’s risk-based
capital adequacy guidelines, such guidelines applied to the Sponsor as if the Sponsor were subject to such guidelines); provided,
however, that the inability of the Sponsor to treat all or any portion of the liquidation amount of the Capital Securities
as Tier l Capital shall not constitute the basis for a Capital Treatment Event, if such inability results from the Sponsor having
cumulative preferred stock, minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries, or any other class of security or interest which the
Federal Reserve or OTS, as applicable, may now or hereafter accord Tier 1 Capital treatment in excess of the amount which may now
or hereafter qualify for treatment as Tier 1 Capital under applicable capital adequacy guidelines; provided further,
however, that the distribution of Debentures in connection with the Liquidation of the Trust shall not in and of itself
constitute a Capital Treatment Event unless such Liquidation shall have occurred in connection with a Tax Event or an Investment
Company Event.


 


“Comparable Treasury
Issue” means with respect to any Special Redemption Date the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation
Agent as having a maturity comparable to the Fixed Rate Period Remaining Life that would be utilized, at the time of selection
and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity
to the Fixed Rate Period Remaining Life. If no United States Treasury security has a maturity which is within a period from 3 months
before to 3 months after the Distribution Payment Date in December 2012, the two most closely corresponding United States Treasury
securities as selected by the Quotation Agent shall be used as the Comparable Treasury Issue, and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated
and extrapolated on a straight-line basis, rounding to the nearest month using such securities.


 


“Comparable Treasury
Price” means (a) the average of 5 Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Special Redemption Date, after excluding
the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (b) if the Quotation Agent obtains fewer than 5 such Reference

“Determination
Date” means the date that is two London Banking Days (i.e., a business day in which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars

means, with respect to any Debenture, the period from the Special Redemption Date for such Debenture to the Distribution Payment
Date in December 2012.


 


“Investment Company
Event” means the receipt by the Debenture Issuer and the Trust of an opinion of counsel experienced in such matters to
the effect that, as a result of the occurrence of a change in law or regulation or written change (including any announced prospective
change) in interpretation or application of law or regulation by any legislative body, court, governmental agency or regulatory
authority, there is more than an insubstantial risk that the Trust is or, within 90 days of the date of such opinion, will be considered
an Investment Company that is required to be registered under the Investment Company Act which change or prospective change becomes
effective or would become effective, as the case may be, on or after the date of the issuance of the Debentures.


 


“Maturity Date” means December 15,
2037.


 




    	 	I-6

New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.

Price” means (a) if the Special Redemption Date occurs before the Distribution Payment Date in December 2012, the greater
of (i) 107.5% of the principal amount of the Debentures, plus accrued and unpaid Interest on the Debentures to the Special Redemption
Date, or (ii) as determined by the Quotation Agent, (A) the sum of the present values of the scheduled payments of principal and
Interest on the Debentures during the Fixed Rate Period Remaining Life of the Debentures (assuming the Debentures matured on December
15, 2012) discounted to the Special Redemption Date on a quarterly basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months)
at the Treasury Rate, plus (B) accrued and unpaid Interest on the Debentures to such Special Redemption Date, or (b) if the Special
Redemption Date occurs on or after the Distribution Payment Date in December 2012, 100% of the principal amount of the Debentures
being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid Interest on such Debentures to the Special Redemption Date.

means the receipt by the Debenture Issuer and the Trust of an opinion of counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that,

pronouncement (including any private letter ruling, technical advice memorandum, field service advice, regulatory procedure, notice
or announcement including any notice or announcement of intent to adopt such procedures or regulations) (an “Administrative
Action”) or judicial decision interpreting or applying such laws or regulations, regardless of whether such Administrative
Action or judicial decision is issued to or in connection with a proceeding involving the Debenture Issuer or the Trust and whether
or not subject to review or appeal, which amendment, clarification, change, Administrative Action or decision is enacted, promulgated
or announced, in each case on or after the date of original issuance of the Debentures, there is more than an insubstantial risk
that: (i) the Trust is, or will be within 90 days of the date of such opinion, subject to United States federal income tax with
respect to income received or accrued on the Debentures; (ii) interest payable by the Debenture Issuer on the Debentures is not,
or within 90 days of the date of such opinion, will not be, deductible by the Debenture Issuer, in whole or in part, for United
States federal income tax purposes; or (iii) the Trust is, or will be within 90 days of the date of such opinion, subject to more

weekly by the Federal Reserve and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant
maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Fixed Rate Period
Remaining Life (if no maturity is within three months before or after the Fixed Rate Period Remaining Life, yields for the two
published maturities most closely corresponding to the Fixed Rate Period Remaining Life shall be determined and the Treasury Rate
shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis, rounding to the nearest month) or (ii) if such
release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields,
the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price
for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for
such Special Redemption Date. The Treasury Rate shall be calculated by the Quotation Agent on the third Business Day preceding
the Special Redemption Date.


 


(b)          Upon
the repayment in full at maturity or redemption in whole or in part of the Debentures (other than following the distribution of
the Debentures to the Holders of the Securities), the proceeds from such repayment or payment shall concurrently be applied to
redeem Pro Rata at the applicable Redemption Price or Special Redemption Price, as applicable, Securities having an aggregate
liquidation amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures so repaid or redeemed; provided, however,
that holders of such Securities shall be given not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice of such redemption (other
than at the scheduled maturity of the Debentures).


 


(c)          If
fewer than all the outstanding Securities are to be so redeemed, the Common Securities and the Capital Securities will be redeemed
Pro Rata and the Capital Securities to be redeemed will be redeemed Pro Rata from each Holder of Capital Securities.

(e)          Redemption
or Distribution Procedures.


 


(i)          Notice
of any redemption of, or notice of distribution of the Debentures in exchange for, the Securities (a “Redemption/Distribution
Notice”) will be given by the Trust by mail to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed or exchanged not fewer than
30 nor more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption or exchange thereof which, in the case of a redemption, will be
the date fixed for redemption of the Debentures. For purposes of the calculation of the date of redemption or exchange and the
dates on which notices are given pursuant to this paragraph 4(e)(i), a Redemption/Distribution Notice shall be deemed to be given
on the day such notice is first mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to Holders of such Securities. Each Redemption/Distribution
Notice shall be addressed to the Holders of such Securities at the address of each such Holder appearing on the books and records
of the Trust. No defect in the Redemption/Distribution Notice or in the mailing thereof with respect to any Holder shall affect
the validity of the redemption or exchange proceedings with respect to any other Holder.


 




    	 	I-8	 



     


    

  


(ii)         If
the Securities are to be redeemed and the Trust gives a Redemption/ Distribution Notice, which notice may only be issued if the
Debentures are redeemed as set out in this paragraph 4 (which notice will be irrevocable), then, provided that the Institutional
Trustee has a sufficient amount of cash in connection with the related redemption or maturity of the Debentures, the Institutional
Trustee will pay the relevant Redemption Price or Special Redemption Price, as applicable, to the Holders of such Securities by
check mailed to the address of each such Holder appearing on the books and records of the Trust on the Redemption Date. If a Redemption/Distribution
Notice shall have been given and funds deposited as required then immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such
deposit Distributions will cease to accrue on the Securities so called for redemption and all rights of Holders of such Securities
so called for redemption will cease, except the right of the Holders of such Securities to receive the applicable Redemption Price
or Special Redemption Price specified in paragraph 4(a), but without interest on such Redemption Price or Special Redemption Price.
If payment of the Redemption Price or Special Redemption Price in respect of any Securities is improperly withheld or refused
and not paid either by the Trust or by the Debenture Issuer as guarantor pursuant to the Guarantee, Distributions on such Securities
will continue to accrue at the Distribution Rate from the original Redemption Date to the actual date of payment, in which case
the actual payment date will be considered the date fixed for redemption for purposes of calculating the Redemption Price or Special
Redemption Price. In the event of any redemption of the Capital Securities issued by the Trust in part, the Trust shall not be
required to (i) issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security during a period beginning at the opening of business
fifteen days before any selection for redemption of the Capital Securities and ending at the close of business on the earliest
date on which the relevant notice of redemption is deemed to have been given to all Holders of the Capital Securities to be so
redeemed or (ii) register the transfer of or exchange any Capital Securities so selected for redemption, in whole or in part,
except for the unredeemed portion of any Capital Securities being redeemed in part.


 


(iii)        Redemption/Distribution
Notices shall be sent by the Administrators on behalf of the Trust to (A) in respect of the Capital Securities, the Holders thereof
and (B) in respect of the Common Securities, the Holder thereof.


 


(iv)        Subject
to the foregoing and applicable law (including, without limitation, United States federal securities laws), and provided that the
acquiror is not the Holder of the Common Securities or the obligor under the Indenture, the Sponsor or any of its subsidiaries
may at any time and from time to time purchase outstanding Capital Securities by tender, in the open market or by private agreement.


 


5.            Voting
Rights - Capital Securities.


 


(a)          Except
as provided under paragraphs 5(b) and 7 and as otherwise required by law and the Declaration, the Holders of the Capital Securities
will have no voting rights. The Administrators are required to call a meeting of the Holders of the Capital Securities if directed
to do so by Holders of at least 10% in liquidation amount of the Capital Securities.


 




    	 	I-9	 



     


    

  


(b)          Subject
to the requirements of obtaining a tax opinion by the Institutional Trustee in certain circumstances set forth in the last sentence
of this paragraph, the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Capital Securities, voting separately as a class, have
the right to direct the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Institutional Trustee,
or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Institutional Trustee under the Declaration, including the right to direct
the Institutional Trustee, as holder of the Debentures, to (i) exercise the remedies available under the Indenture as the holder
of the Debentures, (ii) waive any past default that is waivable under the Indenture, (iii) exercise any right to rescind or annul
a declaration that the principal of all the Debentures shall be due and payable or (iv) consent on behalf of all the Holders of
the Capital Securities to any amendment, modification or termination of the Indenture or the Debentures where such consent shall
be required; provided, however, that, where a consent or action under the Indenture would require the consent or
act of the holders of greater than a simple majority in aggregate principal amount of Debentures (a “Super Majority”)
affected thereby, the Institutional Trustee may only give such consent or take such action at the written direction of the Holders
of at least the proportion in liquidation amount of the Capital Securities outstanding which the relevant Super Majority represents
of the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures outstanding. If the Institutional Trustee fails to enforce its rights under
the Debentures after the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of such Capital Securities have so directed the Institutional
Trustee, to the fullest extent permitted by law, a Holder of the Capital Securities may institute a legal proceeding directly against
the Debenture Issuer to enforce the Institutional Trustee’s rights under the Debentures without first instituting any legal
proceeding against the Institutional Trustee or any other person or entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing and such event is attributable to the failure of the Debenture Issuer to pay interest or principal
on the Debentures on the date the interest or principal is payable (or in the case of redemption, the Redemption Date or the Special
Redemption Date, as applicable), then a Holder of record of the Capital Securities may directly institute a proceeding for enforcement
of payment, on or after the respective due dates specified in the Debentures, to such Holder directly of the principal of or interest
on the Debentures having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Capital Securities of such
Holder. The Institutional Trustee shall notify all Holders of the Capital Securities of any default actually known to the Institutional
Trustee with respect to the Debentures unless (x) such default has been cured prior to the giving of such notice or (y) the Institutional
Trustee determines in good faith that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders of such Capital Securities,
except where the default relates to the payment of principal of or interest on any of the Debentures. Such notice shall state that
such Indenture Event of Default also constitutes an Event of Default hereunder. Except with respect to directing the time, method
and place of conducting a proceeding for a remedy, the Institutional Trustee shall not take any of the actions described in clauses
(i), (ii) or (iii) above unless the Institutional Trustee has obtained an opinion of tax counsel to the effect that, as a result
of such action, the Trust will not be classified as other than a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes.


 


In the event the consent
of the Institutional Trustee, as the holder of the Debentures, is required under the Indenture with respect to any amendment, modification
or termination of the Indenture, the Institutional Trustee shall request the direction of the Holders of the Securities with respect
to such amendment, modification or termination and shall vote with respect to such amendment, modification or termination as directed
by a Majority in liquidation amount of the Securities voting together as a single class; provided, however, that
where a consent under the Indenture would require the consent of a Super-Majority, the Institutional Trustee may only give such
consent at the direction of the Holders of at least the proportion in liquidation amount of the Securities outstanding which the
relevant Super-Majority represents of the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures outstanding. The Institutional Trustee shall
not take any such action in accordance with the directions of the Holders of the Securities unless the Institutional Trustee has
obtained an opinion of tax counsel to the effect that, as a result of such action, the Trust will not be classified as other than
a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes.


 




    	 	I-10	 



     


    

  


A waiver of an Indenture
Event of Default will constitute a waiver of the corresponding Event of Default hereunder. Any required approval or direction of
Holders of the Capital Securities may be given at a separate meeting of Holders of the Capital Securities convened for such purpose,
at a meeting of all of the Holders of the Securities in the Trust or pursuant to written consent. The Institutional Trustee will
cause a notice of any meeting at which Holders of the Capital Securities are entitled to vote, or of any matter upon which action
by written consent of such Holders is to be taken, to be mailed to each Holder of record of the Capital Securities. Each such notice
will include a statement setting forth the following information (i) the date of such meeting or the date by which such action
is to be taken, (ii) a description of any resolution proposed for adoption at such meeting on which such Holders are entitled to
vote or of such matter upon which written consent is sought and (iii) instructions for the delivery of proxies or consents. No
vote or consent of the Holders of the Capital Securities will be required for the Trust to redeem and cancel Capital Securities
or to distribute the Debentures in accordance with the Declaration and the terms of the Securities.


 


Notwithstanding that Holders
of the Capital Securities are entitled to vote or consent under any of the circumstances described above, any of the Capital Securities
that are owned by the Sponsor or any Affiliate of the Sponsor shall not entitle the Holder thereof to vote or consent and shall,
for purposes of such vote or consent, be treated as if such Capital Securities were not outstanding.


 


In no event will Holders
of the Capital Securities have the right to vote to appoint, remove or replace the Administrators, which voting rights are vested
exclusively in the Sponsor as the Holder of all of the Common Securities of the Trust. Under certain circumstances as more fully
described in the Declaration, Holders of Capital Securities have the right to vote to appoint, remove or replace the Institutional
Trustee and the Delaware Trustee.


 


6.            Voting
Rights - Common Securities.


 


(a)          Except
as provided under paragraphs 6(b), 6(c) and 7 and as otherwise required by law and the Declaration, the Common Securities will
have no voting rights.


 


(b)          The
Holders of the Common Securities are entitled, in accordance with Article IV of the Declaration, to vote to appoint, remove or
replace any Administrators.


 


(c)          Subject
to Section 6.7 of the Declaration and only after each Event of Default (if any) with respect to the Capital Securities has been
cured, waived, or otherwise eliminated and subject to the requirements of the second to last sentence of this paragraph, the Holders
of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Common Securities, voting separately as a class, may direct the time, method, and place
of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Institutional Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred
upon the Institutional Trustee under the Declaration, including (i) directing the time, method, place of conducting any proceeding
for any remedy available to the Debenture Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Debenture Trustee with respect
to the Debentures, (ii) waiving any past default and its consequences that is waivable under the Indenture, or (iii) exercising
any right to rescind or annul a declaration that the principal of all the Debentures shall be due and payable; provided,
however, that, where a consent or action under the Indenture would require a Super Majority, the Institutional Trustee
may only give such consent or take such action at the written direction of the Holders of at least the proportion in liquidation
amount of the Common Securities which the relevant Super Majority represents of the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures
outstanding. Notwithstanding this paragraph 6(c), the Institutional Trustee shall not revoke any action previously authorized
or approved by a vote or consent of the Holders of the Capital Securities. Other than with respect to directing the time, method
and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Institutional Trustee or the Debenture Trustee as set forth
above, the Institutional Trustee shall not take any action described in (i), (ii) or (iii) above, unless the Institutional Trustee
has obtained an opinion of tax counsel to the effect that for the purposes of United States federal income tax the Trust will
not be classified as other than a grantor trust on account of such action. If the Institutional Trustee fails to enforce its rights,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, under the Declaration, any Holder of the Common Securities may institute a legal proceeding
directly against any Person to enforce the Institutional Trustee’s rights under the Declaration, without first instituting
a legal proceeding against the Institutional Trustee or any other Person.


 




    	 	I-11	 



     


    

  


Any approval or direction
of Holders of the Common Securities may be given at a separate meeting of Holders of the Common Securities convened for such purpose,
at a meeting of all of the Holders of the Securities in the Trust or pursuant to written consent. The Administrators will cause
a notice of any meeting at which Holders of the Common Securities are entitled to vote, or of any matter upon which action by written
consent of such Holders is to be taken, to be mailed to each Holder of the Common Securities. Each such notice will include a statement
setting forth (i) the date of such meeting or the date by which such action is to be taken, (ii) a description of any resolution
proposed for adoption at such meeting on which such Holders are entitled to vote or of such matter upon which written consent is
sought and (iii) instructions for the delivery of proxies or consents.


 


No vote or consent of the
Holders of the Common Securities will be required for the Trust to redeem and cancel Common Securities or to distribute the Debentures
in accordance with the Declaration and the terms of the Securities.


 


7.            Amendments
to Declaration and Indenture.


 


(a)          In
addition to any requirements under Section 11.1 of the Declaration, if any proposed amendment to the Declaration provides for,
or the Trustees, Sponsor or Administrators otherwise propose to effect, (i) any action that would adversely affect the powers,
preferences or special rights of the Securities, whether by way of amendment to the Declaration or otherwise, or (ii) the Liquidation
of the Trust, other than as described in Section 7.1 of the Declaration, then the Holders of outstanding Securities, voting together
as a single class, will be entitled to vote on such amendment or proposal and such amendment or proposal shall not be effective
except with the approval of the Holders of at least a Majority in liquidation amount of the Securities, affected thereby; provided,
however, if any amendment or proposal referred to in clause (i) above would adversely affect only the Capital Securities
or only the Common Securities, then only the affected class will be entitled to vote on such amendment or proposal and such amendment
or proposal shall not be effective except with the approval of a Majority in liquidation amount of such class of Securities.


 


(b)          In
the event the consent of the Institutional Trustee as the holder of the Debentures is required under the Indenture with respect
to any amendment, modification or termination of the Indenture or the Debentures, the Institutional Trustee shall request the written
direction of the Holders of the Securities with respect to such amendment, modification or termination and shall vote with respect
to such amendment, modification, or termination as directed by a Majority in liquidation amount of the Securities voting together
as a single class; provided, however, that where a consent under the Indenture would require a Super Majority, the
Institutional Trustee may only give such consent at the direction of the Holders of at least the proportion in liquidation amount
of the Securities which the relevant Super Majority represents of the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures outstanding.


 


(c)          Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no amendment or modification may be made to the Declaration if such amendment or modification would (i) cause the
Trust to be classified for purposes of United States federal income taxation as other than a grantor trust, (ii) reduce or otherwise
adversely affect the powers of the Institutional Trustee or (iii) cause the Trust to be deemed an Investment Company which is required
to be registered under the Investment Company Act.


 


(d)          Notwithstanding
any provision of the Declaration, the right of any Holder of the Capital Securities to receive payment of distributions and other
payments upon redemption or otherwise, on or after their respective due dates, or to institute a suit for the enforcement of any
such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. For the protection
and enforcement of the foregoing provision, each and every Holder of the Capital Securities shall be entitled to such relief as
can be given either at law or equity.


 




    	 	I-12	 



     


    

  


8.            Pro
Rata. A reference in these terms of the Securities to any payment, distribution or treatment as being “Pro Rata”
shall mean pro rata to each Holder of the Securities according to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Securities held by the
relevant Holder in relation to the aggregate liquidation amount of all Securities then outstanding unless, in relation to a payment,
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case any funds available to make such payment shall be paid first
to each Holder of the Capital Securities Pro Rata according to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Capital Securities held
by the relevant Holder relative to the aggregate liquidation amount of all Capital Securities outstanding, and only after satisfaction
of all amounts owed to the Holders of the Capital Securities, to each Holder of the Common Securities Pro Rata according to the
aggregate liquidation amount of the Common Securities held by the relevant Holder relative to the aggregate liquidation amount
of all Common Securities outstanding.


 


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


 


10.          Acceptance
of Guarantee and Indenture. Each Holder of the Capital Securities and the Common Securities, by the acceptance of such Securities,
agrees to the provisions of the Guarantee, including the subordination provisions therein and to the provisions of the Indenture.


 


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


 


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

[FORM OF REVERSE OF CAPITAL SECURITY]


 


Distributions payable on
each Capital Security will be payable at an annual rate equal to 6.388% beginning on (and including) the date of original issuance
and ending on (but excluding) the Distribution Payment Date in December 2012 and at an annual rate for each successive period beginning
on (and including) the Distribution Payment Date in December 2012, and each succeeding Distribution Payment Date, and ending on
(but excluding) the next succeeding Distribution Payment Date (each a “Distribution Period”), equal to 3-Month LIBOR,
determined as described below, plus 1.50% (the “Coupon Rate”), applied to the stated liquidation amount of $1,000.00
per Capital Security, such rate being the rate of interest payable on the Debentures to be held by the Institutional Trustee. Distributions
in arrears will bear interest thereon compounded quarterly at the Distribution Rate (to the extent permitted by applicable law).
The term “Distributions” as used herein includes cash distributions and any such compounded distributions unless otherwise
noted. A Distribution is payable only to the extent that payments are made in respect of the Debentures held by the Institutional
Trustee and to the extent the Institutional Trustee has funds available therefor. As used herein, “Determination Date”
means the date that is two London Banking Days (i.e., a business day in which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted
in the London interbank market) preceding the commencement of the relevant Distribution Period. The amount of the Distribution
payable (i) for any Distribution Period commencing on or after the date of original issuance but before the Distribution Payment
Date in December 2012 will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, and (ii) for the Distribution Period
commencing on the Distribution Payment Date in December 2012 and each succeeding Distribution Period will be calculated by applying
the Distribution Rate to the stated liquidation amount outstanding at the commencement of the Distribution Period and multiplying
each such number by the actual number of days in the Distribution Period concerned divided by 360.


 


“3-Month LIBOR”
as used herein, means the London interbank offered interest rate for three-month U.S. dollar deposits determined by the Debenture
Trustee in the following order of priority: (i) the rate (expressed as a percentage per annum) for U.S. dollar deposits having
a three-month maturity that appears on Reuters Page LIBOR01 as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the related Determination Date (“Reuters
Page LIBOR01” means the display designated as “LIBOR01” on Reuters or such other page as may replace Reuters
Page LIBOR01 on that service or such other service or services as may be nominated by the British Bankers’ Association as
the information vendor for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates for U.S. dollar deposits); (ii) if such rate
cannot be identified on the related Determination Date, the Debenture Trustee will request the principal London offices of four
leading banks in the London interbank market to provide such banks’ offered quotations (expressed as percentages per annum)
to prime banks in the London interbank market for U.S. dollar deposits having a three-month maturity as of 11:00 a.m. (London time)
on such Determination Date. If at least two quotations are provided, 3-Month LIBOR will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations;
(iii) if fewer than two such quotations are provided as requested in clause (ii) above, the Debenture Trustee will request four
major New York City banks to provide such banks’ offered quotations (expressed as percentages per annum) to leading European
banks for loans in U.S. dollars as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such Determination Date. If at least two such quotations are
provided, 3-Month LIBOR will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations; and (iv) if fewer than two such quotations are provided
as requested in clause (iii) above, 3-Month LIBOR will be a 3-Month LIBOR determined with respect to the Distribution Period immediately
preceding such current Distribution Period. If the rate for U.S. dollar deposits having a three-month maturity that initially appears
on Reuters Page LIBOR01 as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the related Determination Date is superseded on the Reuters Page LIBOR01
by a corrected rate by 12:00 noon (London time) on such Determination Date, then the corrected rate as so substituted on the applicable
page will be the applicable 3-Month LIBOR for such Determination Date.


 


The Distribution Rate for any Distribution Period
will at no time be higher than the maximum rate then permitted by New York law as the same may be modified by United States law.


 




    	 	A-1-5	 



     


    

  


All percentages resulting
from any calculations on the Capital Securities will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage
point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) being rounded to 9.87655%
(or .0987655), and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half
cent being rounded upward)).


 


Except as otherwise described
below, Distributions on the Capital Securities will be cumulative, will accrue from the date of original issuance and will be
payable quarterly in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year or if any such day is not a Business
Day, then the next succeeding Business Day (each such day, a “Distribution Payment Date”) (it being understood that
interest accrues for any such non-Business Day, beginning on or after December 15, 2012), commencing on the Distribution Payment
Date in December 2007. The Debenture Issuer has the right under the Indenture to defer payments of interest on the Debentures,
so long as no Acceleration Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, by extending the interest payment period on the Debentures
for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods (each an “Extension Period”) at any time and from time to time on the Debentures,
subject to the conditions described below, during which Extension Period no interest shall be due and payable. During any Extension
Period, interest will continue to accrue on the Debentures, and interest on such accrued interest will accrue at an annual rate
equal to the Distribution Rate in effect for each such Extension Period, compounded quarterly from the date such interest would
have been payable were it not for the Extension Period, to the extent permitted by law (such interest referred to herein as “Additional
Interest”). No Extension Period may end on a date other than a Distribution Payment Date. At the end of any such Extension
Period, the Debenture Issuer shall pay all interest then accrued and unpaid on the Debentures (together with Additional Interest
thereon); provided, however, that no Extension Period may extend beyond the Maturity Date. Prior to the termination
of any Extension Period, the Debenture Issuer may further extend such period, provided that such period together with all such
previous and further consecutive extensions thereof shall not exceed 20 consecutive quarterly periods, or extend beyond the Maturity
Date. Upon the termination of any Extension Period and upon the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest,
the Debenture Issuer may commence a new Extension Period, subject to the foregoing requirements. No interest or Additional Interest
shall be due and payable during an Extension Period, except at the end thereof, but each installment of interest that would otherwise
have been due and payable during such Extension Period shall bear Additional Interest. During any Extension Period, Distributions
on the Capital Securities shall be deferred for a period equal to the Extension Period. If Distributions are deferred, the Distributions
due shall be paid on the date that the related Extension Period terminates, to Holders of the Securities as they appear on the
books and records of the Trust on the record date immediately preceding such date. Distributions on the Securities must be paid
on the dates payable (after giving effect to any Extension Period) to the extent that the Trust has funds available for the payment
of such distributions in the Property Account of the Trust. The Trust’s funds available for Distribution to the Holders
of the Securities will be limited to payments received from the Debenture Issuer. The payment of Distributions out of moneys held
by the Trust is guaranteed by the Guarantor pursuant to the Guarantee.


 


The Capital Securities shall be redeemable as provided
in the Declaration.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF COMMON SECURITY]


 


Distributions payable on
each Common Security will be payable at an annual rate equal to 6.388% beginning on (and including) the date of original issuance
and ending on (but excluding) the Distribution Payment Date in December 2012 and at an annual rate for each successive period beginning
on (and including) the Distribution Payment Date in December 2012, and each succeeding Distribution Payment Date, and ending on
(but excluding) the next succeeding Distribution Payment Date (each a “Distribution Period”), equal to 3-Month LIBOR,
determined as described below, plus 1.50% (the “Coupon Rate”), applied to the stated liquidation amount of $1,000.00
per Common Security, such rate being the rate of interest payable on the Debentures to be held by the Institutional Trustee. Distributions
in arrears will bear interest thereon compounded quarterly at the Distribution Rate (to the extent permitted by applicable law).
The term “Distributions” as used herein includes cash distributions and any such compounded distributions unless otherwise
noted. A Distribution is payable only to the extent that payments are made in respect of the Debentures held by the Institutional
Trustee and to the extent the Institutional Trustee has funds available therefor. As used herein, “Determination Date”
means the date that is two London Banking Days (i.e., a business day in which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted
in the London interbank market) preceding the commencement of the relevant Distribution Period. The amount of the Distribution
payable (i) for any Distribution Period commencing on or after the date of original issuance but before the Distribution Payment
Date in December 2012 will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, and (ii) for the Distribution Period
commencing on the Distribution Payment Date in December 2012 and each succeeding Distribution Period will be calculated by applying
the Distribution Rate to the stated liquidation amount outstanding at the commencement of the Distribution Period and multiplying
each such number by the actual number of days in the Distribution Period concerned divided by 360.


 


“3-Month LIBOR”
as used herein, means the London interbank offered interest rate for three-month U.S. dollar deposits determined by the Debenture
Trustee in the following order of priority: (i) the rate (expressed as a percentage per annum) for U.S. dollar deposits having
a three-month maturity that appears on Reuters Page LIBOR01 as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the related Determination Date (“Reuters
Page LIBOR01” means the display designated as “LIBOR01” on Reuters or such other page as may replace Reuters
Page LIBOR01 on that service or such other service or services as may be nominated by the British Bankers’ Association as
the information vendor for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates for U.S. dollar deposits); (ii) if such rate
cannot be identified on the related Determination Date, the Debenture Trustee will request the principal London offices of four
leading banks in the London interbank market to provide such banks’ offered quotations (expressed as percentages per annum)
to prime banks in the London interbank market for U.S. dollar deposits having a three-month maturity as of 11:00 a.m. (London time)
on such Determination Date. If at least two quotations are provided, 3-Month LIBOR will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations;
(iii) if fewer than two such quotations are provided as requested in clause (ii) above, the Debenture Trustee will request four
major New York City banks to provide such banks’ offered quotations (expressed as percentages per annum) to leading European
banks for loans in U.S. dollars as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such Determination Date. If at least two such quotations are
provided, 3-Month LIBOR will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations; and (iv) if fewer than two such quotations are provided
as requested in clause (iii) above, 3-Month LIBOR will be a 3-Month LIBOR determined with respect to the Distribution Period immediately
preceding such current Distribution Period. If the rate for U.S. dollar deposits having a three-month maturity that initially appears
on Reuters Page LIBOR01 as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the related Determination Date is superseded on the Reuters Page LIBOR01
by a corrected rate by 12:00 noon (London time) on such Determination Date, then the corrected rate as so substituted on the applicable
page will be the applicable 3-Month LIBOR for such Determination Date.


 


The Distribution Rate for any Distribution Period
will at no time be higher than the maximum rate then permitted by New York law as the same may be modified by United States law.

All percentages resulting
from any calculations on the Common Securities will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage
point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) being rounded to 9.87655%
(or .0987655), and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half
cent being rounded upward)).


 


Except as otherwise described
below, Distributions on the Common Securities will be cumulative, will accrue from the date of original issuance and will be payable
quarterly in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year or if any such day is not a Business Day,
then the next succeeding Business Day (each such day, a “Distribution Payment Date”) (it being understood that interest
accrues for any such non-Business Day, beginning on or after December 15, 2012), commencing on the Distribution Payment Date in
December 2007. The Debenture Issuer has the right under the Indenture to defer payments of interest on the Debentures, so long
as no Acceleration Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, by extending the interest payment period on the Debentures
for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods (each an “Extension Period”) at any time and from time to time on the Debentures,
subject to the conditions described below, during which Extension Period no interest shall be due and payable. During any Extension
Period, interest will continue to accrue on the Debentures, and interest on such accrued interest will accrue at an annual rate
equal to the Distribution Rate in effect for each such Extension Period, compounded quarterly from the date such interest would
have been payable were it not for the Extension Period, to the extent permitted by law (such interest referred to herein as “Additional
Interest”). No Extension Period may end on a date other than a Distribution Payment Date. At the end of any such Extension
Period, the Debenture Issuer shall pay all interest then accrued and unpaid on the Debentures (together with Additional Interest
thereon); provided, however, that no Extension Period may extend beyond the Maturity Date. Prior to the termination
of any Extension Period, the Debenture Issuer may further extend such period, provided that such period together with all such
previous and further consecutive extensions thereof shall not exceed 20 consecutive quarterly periods, or extend beyond the Maturity
Date. Upon the termination of any Extension Period and upon the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest,
the Debenture Issuer may commence a new Extension Period, subject to the foregoing requirements. No interest or Additional Interest
shall be due and payable during an Extension Period, except at the end thereof, but each installment of interest that would otherwise
have been due and payable during such Extension Period shall bear Additional Interest. During any Extension Period, Distributions
on the Common Securities shall be deferred for a period equal to the Extension Period. If Distributions are deferred, the Distributions
due shall be paid on the date that the related Extension Period terminates, to Holders of the Securities as they appear on the
books and records of the Trust on the record date immediately preceding such date. Distributions on the Securities must be paid
on the dates payable (after giving effect to any Extension Period) to the extent that the Trust has funds available for the payment
of such distributions in the Property Account of the Trust. The Trust’s funds available for Distribution to the Holders
of the Securities will be limited to payments received from the Debenture Issuer.


 


The Common Securities shall be redeemable as provided
in the Declaration.
