 Exhibit 10.75 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of
[                    ] [INSERT DATE], by and between Corinthian Colleges, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and
[                    ] [INSERT NAME OF EMPLOYEE] (“Employee”). 
 WITNESSETH: 
 WHEREAS, the Company and Employee desire to enter into this Agreement to assure
the Company of the continuing and exclusive service of Employee and to set forth the terms and conditions of Employee’s employment with the Company. 
 AGREEMENT: 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants set forth herein, the parties
agree as follows: 
  

	1.	TERM. The Company agrees to employ Employee and Employee hereby accepts such employment, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, commencing on the date of this Agreement
(the “Effective Date”) and continuing for a period of two (2) years hereafter (the “Term”), subject to earlier termination under Section 5 or extension of such term as described in the following sentences. Unless either
party has given advanced written notice to the other party that the Term shall not be extended (or further extended, as the case may be), then (1) upon the first anniversary of the Effective Date the Term shall automatically be extended by an
additional year (such that the Term shall be scheduled to terminate on the third anniversary of the Effective Date), and (2) upon the second and each successive anniversary of the Effective Date the Term shall automatically be extended by an
additional year; provided, however, that in no event shall the Term exceed a period of five (5) years. Provision of notice that this Agreement shall not be extended or further extended, as the case may be, shall not necessarily
constitute termination of Employee’s employment, shall not constitute breach of this Agreement, and shall not entitle the Employee to any benefits described in Section 5. Such notice that the Agreement will not be extended shall be
provided to Employee no less than 12 months prior to the termination date specified in the notice, subject to earlier termination pursuant to Section 5 below. 

  

	2.	 SERVICES AND EXCLUSIVITY OF SERVICES. During the Term of this Agreement, Employee shall devote Employee’s full business time, energy and ability exclusively to
the business, affairs and interests of the Company and matters related thereto, shall use Employee’s best efforts and abilities to promote the Company’s interests and shall perform the services contemplated by this Agreement in accordance
with policies established by and under the direction of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company or such other executive of the Company as the Chief Executive Officer shall
determine from time to time (the “Senior Executive”). Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, during the term of 

  

 -1- 

	 	 
this Agreement render services to any other person or firm for compensation or engage in any activity competitive with or adverse to the Company’s
business. Employee may serve as a director or in any other capacity of any business enterprise or any nonprofit or governmental entity or trade association, provided in each case that such service is approved by the Board or the Senior Executive.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee may make and manage personal business investments of Employee’s choice and serve in any capacity with any civic, educational or charitable organization (other than as a director of such organization,
approval for which may be sought under the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 2) without seeking the approval of the Senior Executive, provided that such activities and services do not interfere or conflict with the performance of
the duties hereunder or create any conflict of interest with such duties. 

  

	3.	DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES. Employee shall serve as an officer of the Company for the Term of this Agreement. In the performance of Employee’s duties, Employee shall report
directly to the Senior Executive and shall be subject to the direction of the Senior Executive and to such limits on Employee’s authority as the Senior Executive may from time to time impose. During the term of this Agreement, Employee shall be
based at the Company’s principal executive offices. Employee agrees to observe and comply with the rules and regulations of the Company and agrees to carry out and perform orders, directions and policies of the Company and its Board as they may
be, from time to time, stated either orally or in writing. The Company agrees that the duties which may be assigned to Employee shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of the charter documents of the Company or applicable law.

  

	4.	COMPENSATION. 

  

	 	(a)	Base Salary. During the term of this Agreement, the Company agrees to pay Employee a base salary at the annual rate of not less than [$__________] [INSERT CURRENT BASE SALARY],
payable in accordance with the Company’s practices in effect from time to time (the “Base Salary”). 

  

	 	(b)	 Additional Benefits. Employee shall also be entitled to all rights and benefits for which Employee is otherwise eligible under any bonus plan, Target Bonus (defined
below) arrangement, incentive agreement (including stock options and/or other awards granted pursuant to any Company equity award plans (hereinafter the “Equity Award Plans”) provided to Peer Executives (defined as employees who have
similar status and responsibility)), participation or extra compensation plan, pension plan, profit-sharing plan, life, medical, dental, disability, or insurance plan (including, except as otherwise prohibited therein, the Company’s Employee
Stock Purchase Plan) or policy or other plan or benefit that the Company may provide for Employee or (provided Employee is eligible to participate therein) for Peer Executives or for employees of the 

  

 -2- 

	 	 
Company generally, as from time to time in effect, during the term of this Agreement (collectively, all of the above shall be referred to as the
“Additional Benefits”). In addition to the Base Salary, Employee shall be eligible to earn, for each fiscal year of Company, a target annual incentive bonus equal to [INSERT APPROPRIATE TARGET BONUS] of Employee’s Base Salary
(“Target Bonus”), which bonus shall be based on achieving targeted performance goals as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board. 

  

	 	(c)	Periodic Review. The Compensation Committee of the Board shall review Employee’s Base Salary and Additional Benefits then being paid to Employee not less frequently than every
twelve months. Following such review, the Company may in its discretion increase (but shall not be required to increase) the Base Salary or any other benefits, but may not decrease the Base Salary and Target Bonus during the Term of this Agreement;
provided, however, that if the Company undertakes any generalized compensation or benefit reductions of Peer Executives, the Company may reduce Employee’s Base Salary and Target Bonus by a percentage equal to the percentage base salary
and target bonus reductions effected for all other Peer Executives of the Company. 

  

	 	(d)	Perquisites. Employee shall be entitled to not less than three weeks paid vacation each twelve-month period (or such larger amount of paid vacation as is generally granted to
employees of the Company based on time of service with the Company), which shall accrue on a pro rata basis from the Effective Date of this Agreement. Vacation time will continue to accrue so long as Employee’s total accrued vacation does not
exceed two times (2x) the then-current rate of annual vacation accrual of the Employee (the “Vacation Accrual Cap”). Should Employee’s accrued vacation time reach the Vacation Accrual Cap, Employee will cease to accrue additional
vacation until Employee’s accrued vacation time falls below the Vacation Accrual Cap. Except with respect to the rate of vacation accrual set forth above, all vacation time shall be subject to the plans, policies, programs and practices as in
effect generally with respect to other Peer Executives of the Company. 

  

	5.	TERMINATION. This Agreement and all obligations hereunder (except the obligations contained in Sections 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 (Trade Secrets/Confidential Information, Agreement
Not to Disclose, Property of Company, Unfair Competition, Solicitation of Employees, and Indemnity) which shall survive any termination hereunder) shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of any of the following. 

  

	 	(a)	Voluntary Termination by Employee/End of Term/Retirement. Employee may terminate employment and this Agreement by giving no less than [eight (8) weeks’] notice to the
Company. This Agreement shall also terminate upon expiration of the Term or upon notice pursuant to Section 1 above or Employee’s retirement from the Company in accordance with the normal retirement policies of the Company.

  

 -3- 

	 	(b)	Death or Disability of Employee. Employee’s employment shall be terminated upon the death or Disability (as defined below) of Employee. In such instance, except as set forth
below, all obligations hereunder to Employee (or Employee’s heirs or legal representatives) shall cease, other than for payment of the sum of (A) Employee’s Base Salary through the date of termination to the extent not theretofore
paid, (B) pro rata portion of the Target Bonus calculated as of the date of termination and any other amount earned through the date of termination pursuant to another cash compensation agreement; and (C) any accrued vacation pay, in each
case to the extent not theretofore paid (the sum of the amounts described in clauses (A), (B), and (C) each shall be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”),
and shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Accrued Obligations”), which shall, subject to Section 5(h), be paid to Employee or Employee’s estate or beneficiary, as applicable, in a lump sum in cash within 30 days after the date
of termination or any earlier time required by applicable law. For the purposes of this Agreement, Disability shall mean that Employee is either (1) unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable
physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than six (6) months, or (2) by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can
be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than six (6) months, receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three months under an accident and health plan covering
employees of the Company, or (3) if determined to be totally disabled by the Social Security Administration, or (4) if determined to be disabled in accordance with the applicable disability insurance program of the Company, provided that
the definition of “disability” applied under such disability insurance program complies with the requirements of this Section. The termination of this Agreement due to the death or Disability of Employee shall have no effect on the rights
and obligations of Employee (or Employee’s personal representative or beneficiary, as the case may be) with respect to stock options or other rights granted under the Company’s Equity Award Plans, as amended, or the Company’s Employee
Stock Purchase Plan, or any subsequent employee benefit or equity compensation plan adopted by the Company, all of which rights and obligations shall be governed solely and exclusively by the applicable terms and conditions of such plans and the
agreements issued thereunder. 

  

 -4- 

	 	(c)	Cause. The Company may terminate Employee’s employment and all of Employee’s rights to receive Base Salary and any Additional Benefits hereunder for Cause. For purposes of
this Agreement, the term “Cause” shall be defined as any of the following; provided, however, that the Company must determine the presence of such Cause in good faith based upon information then known to the Company:

 Employee has engaged in or committed: willful misconduct, gross negligence or dishonesty which injures the Company; theft,
fraud or other illegal conduct; a refusal, failure or unwillingness to discharge the responsibilities of Employee’s assigned position; abuse of alcoholic beverages or use of narcotics or other controlled substances (except as prescribed by a
licensed physician); conduct which reflects adversely upon, or making any remarks to persons outside the Company disparaging of (except as and to the extent protected by Section 806 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 or any similar federal or
state law), the Company, its Board, officers, directors, advisors or employees or its affiliates or subsidiaries; insubordination; harassment of another Company employee on the basis of age, race, sex, religion, national origin, sexual orientation,
physical or mental disability or any other category or condition protected and as defined by applicable law; any willful act that is likely to and which does in fact have the effect of injuring the reputation, business or a business relationship of
the Company; violation of the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics; violation of any fiduciary duty; violation of any duty of loyalty; and breach of any term of this Agreement. 
  

	 	(d)	Without Cause. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5, the Company shall have the right to terminate Employee’s employment with the Company without Cause at
any time, but in the event of such termination without Cause and subject to the satisfaction of the condition in Section 5(f), Employee shall be entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to
[                    ] times the value of Employee’s Base Salary in effect as of the date of such termination (hereinafter such amount
shall be referred to as the “Lump Sum Payment”). Subject to Section 5(h), such Lump Sum Payment to Employee shall be paid to Employee within 60 days of the date of such termination. 

  

	 	(e)	Good Reason. Employee may terminate employment with the Company for Good Reason within six (6) months following the initial existence of Good Reason. In the event that Employee
fails to terminate employment within such period but Employee’s employment under this Agreement in fact terminates at the initiation of Employee, such termination shall be deemed a termination by Employee without Good Reason. Regardless of
whether a resignation occurs prior to, coincident with or after a “Change in Control,” “Good Reason” shall mean any one or more of the following: 

  

	 	(i)	An involuntary material diminution in Employee’s Base Salary. 

  

	 	(ii)	An involuntary material diminution in Employee’s authority, duties, or responsibilities. 

  

 -5- 

	 	(iii)	A 50 mile or greater change in the geographic location at which Employee must perform services. 

  

	 	(iv)	Any other action or inaction by the Company that constitutes a material breach of the Agreement. 

 Employee must give the Company written notice which shall identify with reasonable specificity the grounds for Good Reason within 90 days of the initial
existence of Good Reason, upon the notice of which the Company shall have 30 days to cure the alleged grounds for Good Reason contained in the notice. In the event Employee fails to notify the Company of the existence of Good Reason within such
90-day period but Employee’s employment under this Agreement in fact terminates at the initiation of Employee, such termination shall be deemed a termination by Employee without Good Reason. If Employee terminates employment with the Company
for Good Reason, then subject to Section 5(h) and the satisfaction of the condition in Section 5(f), Employee shall be entitled to receive a Lump Sum Payment equal to that which would be paid to Employee under Section 5(d) hereof
within 60 days following the termination of employment. 
  

	 	(f)	The Executive shall be entitled to receive the benefits described in Sections 5 and 7 provided that the Executive must execute and deliver to the Company the severance and release
agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A within 50 days of the Termination without Cause and not revoke it pursuant to any revocation rights afforded by law. If the Executive does not timely execute and deliver to the Company such severance and
release agreement, or if the Executive has executed the severance and release agreement but revokes it, no severance benefits shall be paid. 

  

	 	(g)	Employee agrees that the payments and benefits contemplated by this Section 5 shall constitute the exclusive and sole remedy for any termination of employment and Employee
covenants and agrees not to assert or pursue any other remedies, at law or in equity, with respect to any termination of employment. The Lump-Sum Payment under Section 5(d) and 5(e) shall be deemed a separate payment for purposes of Code
Section 409A, intended to qualify as a “short-term deferral” under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(4) to the maximum extent possible and, for any other portion thereof, under the “two-year/two-times” exclusion from
being a deferral of compensation under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) to the maximum extent possible. 

  

	 	(h)	 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the other provisions of this Agreement, any payment under this Agreement under Section 5 or Section 7 that the
Company reasonably determines is subject to Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code shall not be paid or payment commenced until the later of (i) six (6) months after the date of Employee’s termination 

  

 -6- 

	 	 
of employment or Employee’s death and (ii) the payment date or commencement date specified in this Agreement for such payment(s). On the earliest
date on which such payments can be made or commenced without violating the requirements of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, Employee shall be paid, in a single cash lump sum, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all payments delayed
pursuant to the preceding sentence. 

  

	 	(i)	If a payment under this Section 5 or Section 7 would be payable upon or during a specified period following a termination of Employee’s employment and such payment
would constitute a deferral of compensation under Section 409A of the Code, the term “termination of employment” shall mean a “separation from service” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h). Employee
shall have no control or influence as to the time of payment of any payment under this Section 5 or Section 7 payable during a specified period following termination. 

  

	6.	BUSINESS EXPENSES. During the Term of this Agreement, to the extent that such expenditures satisfy the criteria under the Internal Revenue Code for deductibility by the Company
(whether or not fully deductible by the Company) for federal income tax purposes as ordinary and necessary business expenses, the Company shall reimburse Employee promptly for reasonable business expenditures, including travel, entertainment,
parking, business meetings, and professional dues, made and substantiated in accordance with the reasonable policies, practices and procedures established from time to time by the Company generally with respect to other Peer Executives and incurred
in the pursuit and furtherance of the Company’s business and good will. 

  

	7.	CHANGE IN CONTROL. 

  

	 	(a)	If, (A) “In Anticipation Of,” as defined below, or within 12 months after a “Change in Control” of the Company (or any successor), as defined below, the
Company involuntarily terminates Employee’s employment without Cause, or (B) within 12 months after a Change in Control, Employee terminates employment for Good Reason, then subject to Section 5(h) and the satisfaction of the
condition in Section 5(f), Employee shall receive a lump sum payment equal to two times (2x) the amount that would be required to be paid to Employee as a Lump Sum Payment under Section 5(d) upon Employee’s termination other than
for Cause (hereinafter the “Change in Control Payment”) within 60 days following the termination of employment. The payment under this Section 7(a) shall be deemed a separate payment from any payment under Section 5(d) or 5(e)
for purposes of Section 409A of the Code intended to qualify as a “short-term deferral” under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(4) to the maximum extent possible and, for any other portion thereof, under the
“two-year/two-times” exclusion from being a deferral of compensation under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) to the maximum extent possible after such exclusion is applied to payments under Section 5.

  

 -7- 

	 	(b)	In the event that any economic benefit, payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of Employee, whether paid, payable, distributed or distributable, pursuant to
this Section 7 or otherwise In Anticipation Of or following a Change in Control, including, if applicable, the vesting of Employee’s equity compensation awards (hereinafter, the “Total Payments”), would result in all or a portion
of such Total Payments being subject to excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, or any interest or penalties with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax and any applicable interest and penalties, collectively referred to in this
Agreement as the “Excise Tax”), then Employee shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (the “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that, after payment by Employee of all taxes (and any interest or penalties imposed with
respect to such taxes), including, without limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, but excluding any income taxes and penalties imposed pursuant to
Section 409A of the Code, Employee retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Total Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if it shall be determined that Employee is entitled to the Gross-Up Payment,
but that the Parachute Value of the Total Payments does not exceed 110% of the Safe Harbor Amount, then no Gross-Up Payment shall be made to Employee and Employee’s Total Payments (including the Change in Control Payment) shall be either
(A) the full payment or (B) such lesser amount that would result in no portion of the Total Payment being subject to Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable Federal, state, and local employment
taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax, results in the receipt by Employee, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of Total Payments notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Total Payments may be taxable under Section 4999 of the
Code. Unless Employee shall have given prior written notice to the Company to effectuate a reduction in the Total Payments in a manner other than as set forth, if such a reduction is required, the Company shall reduce or eliminate the Total Payments
by first reducing or eliminating the Change in Control Payment, then by reducing or eliminating any accelerated vesting of equity compensation awards, then by reducing or eliminating any other remaining Total Payments. 

  

	 	(c)	All determinations required to be made under this Section 7 shall be made by the outside independent public accounting firm providing services to the Company immediately prior
to the event triggering the payments that are subject to the Excise Tax, which firm must be reasonably acceptable to Employee (the “Accounting Firm”). The Company shall cause the Accounting Firm to provide detailed supporting calculations
of its determinations to the Company and Employee. Notice must be given to the Accounting Firm within 20 business days after an event entitling Employee to a Change in Control Payment under this Agreement. Any determination by the Accounting Firm
shall be binding upon the Company and Employee. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. 

  

 -8- 

	 	(d)	Any Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to this Section 7, shall be paid by the Company to Employee within five (5) days of the receipt of the Accounting Firm’s
determination, but by no later than the end of Employee’s taxable year next following Employee’s taxable year in which Employee remits the related taxes. If, at a later date, the Internal Revenue Service assesses a deficiency against
Employee on the basis that the Excise Tax with respect to any amount paid to Employee is greater than that which was determined at the time such amounts were paid, the Company shall pay to Employee an additional Gross-up Payment with respect to such
Excise Tax by the end of Employee’s taxable year next following Employee’s taxable year in which the taxes that are the subject of the audit or litigation are remitted to the taxing authority. Upon notice by Employee of any audit or other
proceeding that may result in a liability to the Company under this Section, Employee shall promptly notify the Company of such audit or other proceeding and the Company may, at its option, but solely with respect to the item or items that relate to
such potential liability, choose to assume the defense of such audit or other proceeding at its own cost, provided that (i) Employee shall cooperate with the Company in such defense and (ii) the Company will not settle such audit or other
proceeding without the consent of Employee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). 

  

	 	(e)	Definitions. The following terms shall have the following meanings for purposes of this Section 7. 

  

	 	(i)	“In Anticipation Of”: For purposes of this Section 7, the involuntary termination by the Company of Employee’s employment shall be deemed to have been “In
Anticipation Of” a Change in Control if such termination (A) was at the request of an unrelated third party who has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control (if the Change in Control ultimately occurs), or
(B) occurred after a Potential Change in Control has occurred, prior to the abandonment of the transaction contemplated by the Potential Change in Control, and the Change in Control contemplated by such Potential Change in Control or a Change
in Control that is an alternative transaction occurs within 12 months after such involuntary termination (and not more than 18 months after the Potential Change in Control). 

  

 -9- 

	 	(ii)	“Change in Control”: For purposes of this Section 7, a “Change in Control” means, and shall be deemed to have taken place, if (1) any person or entity
or group of affiliated persons or entities, including a group which is deemed a “person” by Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), after the date hereof is or becomes the
“beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 40% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities;
(2) during any period of two (2) consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof, unless the election, or the nomination for election by
the Company’s stockholders, of each new Board member was approved by a vote of at least three-fourths (3/4) of the Board members then still in office who were Board members at the beginning of such period; (3) any reorganization,
consolidation, merger or similar transaction involving the Company in which the Company is not the continuing or surviving corporation or pursuant to which the Company’s securities would be converted into cash, securities or other property
(other than a merger of the Company in which the holders of the Company’s voting securities immediately prior to the merger have more than 50% of the combined voting power of the securities of the corporation or other entity resulting from or
surviving such merger, calculated on a fully-diluted basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles after giving effect to such merger, immediately after such merger); or (4) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in
one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all, or substantially all, of the assets of the Company. 

  

	 	(iii)	“Parachute Value” of a payment shall mean the present value as of the date of the change of control for purposes of Section 280G of the Code of the portion of such
payment that constitutes a “parachute payment” under Section 280G(b)(2), as determined by the Accounting Firm for purposes of determining whether and to what extent the Excise Tax will apply to such payment. 

 

	 	(iv)	A “Potential Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if (A) the Company enters into an agreement, the consummation of which would result in the occurrence
of a Change in Control; (B) any person (including the Company) publicly announces an intention to take actions which if consummated would constitute a Change in Control; or (C) the Board adopts a resolution to the effect that, for purposes
of this Agreement, a Potential Change in Control has occurred. 

  

	 	(v)	The “Safe Harbor Amount” means 2.99 times Employee’s “base amount,” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code. 

  

 -10- 

	8.	TRADE SECRETS/CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. Employee recognizes that Employee shall be employed in a sensitive position that involves a relationship of trust and confidence. During the
course of Employee’s employment or hiring, Employee may receive, develop, otherwise acquire, have access to or become acquainted with trade secrets or other confidential and sensitive information relating to the business of the Company. In this
regard, Employee understands and hereby agrees that the term “trade secrets” shall include, but not be limited to, customer lists, potential customer lists, all information stored in the company database such as notes, proposals,
historical sales, pricing strategies, price quotes to customers or potential customers, customer contracts, all devices, methods, techniques, compilations, processes, job specifications, product specifications, work and product samples, future
plans, costs, financial information and data, training materials and information, customer files, pricing structure, pricing lists, job lists, job order information, software data, computer disks, vendor suppliers’ lists and contact persons,

suppliers, or employees, written business records, business files, computer data, business operating forms, documents, specifications, plans, and compilations of information concerning the business, customers, or employees of the Company. If it is
at any time determined that any of the information or materials identified above are, in whole or in part, not entitled to protection as trade secrets, Employee agrees that they shall nevertheless be considered and treated as confidential
information that is protected under this Agreement, in the same manner as trade secrets, to the maximum extent permitted by law. 

  

	9.	AGREEMENT NOT TO DISCLOSE. Employee shall not, at any time during the term of this Agreement or after its termination, disclose to others, either directly or indirectly, or take or
use for Employee’s own purposes or the purposes of others, either directly or indirectly, any trade secret or any confidential information, knowledge, data or know-how of the Company. Employee understands and acknowledges that these
restrictions shall also apply to trade secrets, confidential information, knowledge, data or know-how conceived, originated, discovered or developed by Employee within the scope of Employee’s employment or hiring. 

  

	10.	PROPERTY OF COMPANY. All trade secrets and confidential information, whether prepared by Employee or otherwise coming into Employee’s possession or control, shall remain the
exclusive property of the Company. Upon the termination of Employee’s employment or whenever required by the Company, Employee shall immediately deliver to the Company all property and materials in Employee’s possession or under
Employee’s control belonging to the Company, including, but not limited to, all trade secrets and confidential information of the Company and any documents or materials that describe or refer to such trade secrets and/or confidential
information. 

  

 -11- 

	11.	UNFAIR COMPETITION. Employee acknowledges that the information listed in Section 8 above, as well as other information regarding the Company’s customers and business, is
confidential and constitutes trade secret, commercially sensitive, and proprietary information. While employed by the Company, and following separation of employment from the Company, Employee will not, directly or indirectly, use this or any other
trade secret information to solicit any of the Company’s customers or use the Company’s trade secret information to negotiate with any of the Company’s customers, or to disrupt, damage, impair, or interfere with the Company’s
business. Subject to the limitations noted herein, Employee is not, however, restricted from being employed by or engaged in any type of business following the termination of Employee’s employment relationship with the Company.

  

	12.	SOLICITATION OF EMPLOYEES. Employee agrees that while employed by the Company, and as a result of the Employee’s position with the Company, the Employee will acquire
specialized knowledge regarding the Company’s employees. Therefore, Employee agrees that for a period of one (1) year after Employee’s separation of employment from the Company, Employee will not, directly or indirectly, solicit any
person who is engaged as a regular, temporary, introductory, full time or part time employee, agent, or independent contractor by the Company to terminate his or her employment or engagement with the Company for any reason. Employee agrees to an
additional one (1) year nonsolicitation period if the Employee’s separation of employment from the Company occurs following a Change in Control. 

  

	13.	INDEMNITY. In addition to any other separate agreement with the Company concerning indemnification, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and the bylaws of the Company,
as from time to time in effect, the Company shall indemnify Employee and hold Employee harmless for any acts or decisions made in good faith while performing services for the Company, and the Company shall use its best efforts to obtain coverage for
Employee (provided the same may be obtained at reasonable cost) under any liability insurance policy or policies now in force or hereafter obtained during the term of this Agreement that cover other officers of the Company having comparable or
lesser status and responsibility; provided, however, that this paragraph shall not apply to any claims initiated solely by Employee against the Company. To the same extent, the Company will pay and, subject to any legal limitations,
advance all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of court approved settlements, actually and necessarily incurred by Employee in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding and in connection with any appeal
thereon, which has been brought against Employee by reason of Employee’s service as an officer or agent of the Company. 

  

 -12- 

	14.	REMEDIES. 

  

	 	(a)	The parties to this Agreement agree that the services to be rendered by Employee pursuant to this Agreement, and the rights and privileges granted to the Company pursuant to this
Agreement, are due to Employee’s years of experience and expertise of a special, unique, extraordinary and intellectual character, which gives them a peculiar value, the loss of which cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated in damages in
any action at law, and that a breach by Employee of any of the terms of this Agreement will cause the Company great and irreparable injury and damage. Employee hereby expressly agrees that the Company shall be entitled to the remedies of injunction,
specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent a breach of this Agreement by Employee. This Section shall not be construed as a waiver of any other rights or remedies which the Company may have for damages or otherwise.

forfeit, and shall be obligated to return to the Company, that portion of bonuses and other incentive or equity compensation awarded to, or earned by, Employee on the basis of having met or exceeded performance targets for performance periods that
occurred during the restatement period, and by the amount which employees’ equity award exercises or sales would have resulted in lower net proceeds to the Employee. If such bonuses and other incentive and equity compensation would have been

appropriate committee thereof.

arbitrator will resolve any dispute as to who is the prevailing party and as to the reasonableness of any fee or cost. This agreement to arbitrate and arbitration procedure is intended to be the exclusive method of resolving all Claims or
Controversies as described above between Employee and the Company and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

 5. Trade Secrets/Confidential Information, Agreement not to Disclose, Property of
Company, Unfair Competition, Solicitation of Employees. 
 (a) Employee acknowledges and agrees that Employee continues to
be bound by the terms of Sections 8 (Trade Secrets/Confidential Information), 9 (Agreement Not to Disclose), 10 (Property of Company), 11 (Unfair Competition), and 12 (Solicitation of Employees) of the Employment Agreement. 
 (b) Employee represents and agrees that the terms, conditions, payments, benefits and the existence of this Agreement and settlement are
strictly confidential and that Employee will not disclose any information concerning this Agreement and settlement to anyone except as required by applicable law, or to legal counsel, immediate family, or financial advisors, all of whom will have
first been informed of and agreed to be bound by this confidentiality provision. 
 (c) Employee also agrees that he or she
will not make, circulate or publish any statement, or do any act or thing, that is intended to or might reasonably be expected to disparage the Company or any of its officers or directors, present the Company or any of its officers or directors in a
negative light, or damage or lower the reputation of the Company or any of its officers or directors. 
 (d) Employee
understands and agrees that any breach of this Section 5 is a material breach of the Agreement.

Employee. 
 (a) Employee, on behalf of Employee, and his or her assigns, and successors, hereby fully releases and

of whatever kind or nature, whether now known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected (collectively, “Claims”), which Employee now owns or holds or Employee has at any time prior to the date of execution of this Agreement owned or held or may
in the future hold as against any Releasee, arising out of or in any way connected with Employee’s employment relationship with, or separation from, the Company or any other transactions, occurrences, acts or omissions or any loss, damage or
injury whatever, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, resulting from any act or omission by or on the part of said Releasees, or any of them, committed or omitted prior to the date of this Agreement including, without limiting the generality

 A-2 

 
other fringe benefit, or disability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement releases the Company from its obligation to indemnify and hold
harmless Employee for any expense, liability and loss of Employee by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the Company, consistent with the Bylaws of the Company. 
 (b) Employee hereby expressly waives any and all rights and benefits conferred by the provisions of Section 1542 of the California
Civil Code, which provides: “A general release does not extend to a claim which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially
affected his or her settlement with the debtor.” It is the intention of Employee that this release applies to any Claim that exists or might arise, even if based on Claims or facts in addition to or different from those which Employee
currently knows or believes to exist, and the release will be a bar to such claims. 
 (c) Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, Employee expressly acknowledges and agrees that, by entering into this Agreement, Employee is waiving any and all rights or claims that Employee may have arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended,
which have arisen on or before the date of execution of this Agreement. Employee also expressly acknowledges and agrees that Employee: (a) received consideration, i.e., something of value, beyond that to which he or she was already entitled
before signing this Agreement; (b) was advised by this Agreement to consult with an attorney before signing this Agreement; (c) was advised that he or she has the right to take 21 days [or 45 days if applicable — modify as
appropriate] to review and execute this Agreement and if Employee signed the Agreement prior to the expiration of that time period, Employee acknowledges that he or she waived such right and voluntarily executed this Agreement prior to the
expiration of such time period; and (d) was informed that he or she has seven (7) days following the date of execution of the Agreement in which to revoke it. 
 7. Arbitration. In the event that either party is compelled to bring a Claim related to this Agreement, to enforce the provisions
of the Agreement, to recover damages as a result of a breach of the Agreement, or from any other cause, such Claim must be processed in the manner set forth below. 
 (a) THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE METHOD TO RESOLVE ANY CLAIM IS ARBITRATION. EACH PARTY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OR COURT TRIAL.
Neither party shall initiate or prosecute any lawsuit in any way related to any Claim covered by this Agreement. 
 (b)
The arbitration shall be binding, and conducted before a single arbitrator in accordance with the terms of Section 22 of the Employment Agreement. 
  

 A-3

and understanding concerning Employee’s employment with the Company, and termination from the same, and the other subject matters addressed herein, and supersedes and replaces all prior negotiations and agreements, proposed or otherwise,
whether written or oral, concerning the subject matters hereof, except Sections 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 22 of the Employment Agreement, except to the extent inconsistent with a specific term of this Agreement, in which case this Agreement shall
control. This is a fully integrated document. 
 9. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application
of any provision is held invalid, the invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of the Agreement which can be given effect without the invalid provisions or applications and to this end the provisions of this Agreement are

	 	(J)	except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.7(a)(ii), the Property Trustee shall have none of the duties, liabilities, powers or the authority of the Administrative Trustees
set forth in Section 2.7(a)(i). 

 (b) So long as this Trust Agreement remains in effect, the Issuer Trust (or the Issuer
Trustees acting on behalf of the Issuer Trust) shall not undertake any business, activities or transactions except as expressly provided herein or contemplated hereby. In particular, the Issuer Trustees (acting on behalf of the Issuer Trust) shall
not cause the Trust to (i) acquire any investments or engage in any activities not authorized by this Trust Agreement, (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 to cause the Issuer Trust to become taxable as a corporation or classified as other than a grantor trust for
United States Federal or Puerto Rico income tax purposes, (iv) incur any indebtedness for borrowed money or issue any other debt, (v) take or consent to any action that would result in the placement of a Lien on any of the Trust Property,

(vii) acquire any assets other than the Trust Property, (viii) possess any power or otherwise act in such a way as to vary the Trust Property, (ix) possess any power or otherwise act in such a way as to vary the terms of the Trust

 -12- 
  
  

 
issue any securities or other evidences of beneficial ownership of, or beneficial interest in, the Issuer Trust other than the Trust Securities. The Property
Trustee shall 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 Issuer Trust or the Holders in their capacity as Holders. 
 (c) In connection with the issuance of the Capital Securities in exchange for the Series C Preferred Stock, the Depositor shall have the right and
responsibility to assist the Issuer Trust with respect to, or effect on behalf of the Issuer Trust, the following (and any actions taken by the Depositor in furtherance of the following prior to the date of this Trust Agreement are hereby ratified
and confirmed in all respects): 
 (i) if appropriate, the preparation and filing by the Issuer Trust with the Commission of
and the execution on behalf of the Issuer Trust of a registration statement on the appropriate form in relation to the Capital Securities, including any amendments thereto; 
 (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 that must be taken by or on behalf of the Issuer Trust, and the advice to the Issuer Trust of actions they must take on behalf of the Issuer Trust, and the preparation for
execution and filing of any documents to be executed and filed by the Issuer Trust or on behalf of the Issuer Trust, as the Depositor deems necessary or advisable in order to comply with the applicable laws of any such states; 
 (iii) if appropriate, the preparation for filing by the Issuer Trust and execution on behalf of the Issuer Trust of an application to the

organization such notification and documents as may be necessary from time to time to maintain such listing; 
 (iv) the
negotiation of the terms of, and the execution and delivery of, the Exchange Agreement providing for the issuance of the Capital Securities; and 
 (v) 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 Administrative Trustees are authorized and directed to conduct the affairs of the Issuer Trust and to operate the Issuer Trust so that the Issuer Trust will not be deemed to be an
“investment company” required to be registered under the Investment Company Act, and will not be taxable as a corporation or classified as other than a grantor trust for United States Federal or Puerto Rico income tax purposes and so that
the Debentures will be treated as indebtedness of the Depositor for Puerto Rico tax purposes. In this connection, the Depositor and the Administrative Trustees are authorized to take any action, not inconsistent with applicable law, the Certificate
of Trust or this Trust Agreement, that they determine in their discretion to be necessary or desirable for such purposes, as long as such action does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Holders of the Outstanding
Capital Securities. In no event shall the Depositor or the Issuer Trustees be liable to the Issuer Trust or the Holders for any failure to comply with this section that results from a change in law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof.

 DISTRIBUTIONS; REDEMPTION 
 Section 4.1 Distributions. 
 (a) The
Trust Securities represent undivided beneficial interests in the Trust Property, and Distributions (including of Additional Amounts) will be made on the Trust Securities at the rate and on the dates that payments of interest (including Additional
Interest, as defined in the Indenture) are made on the Debentures. Accordingly: 
 (i) Distributions on the Trust Securities
shall be cumulative, and will accumulate whether or not there are funds of the Trust available for the payment of Distributions. Distributions shall accrue from August 24, 2009 and, except in the event (and to the extent) that the Depositor
exercises its right to defer the payment of interest on the Debentures pursuant to the Indenture, shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing on
November 15, 2009. If any date on which a Distribution is otherwise payable on the Trust Securities is not a Business Day, then the payment of such Distribution shall be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any
interest or other payment in respect of any such delay), with the same force and effect as if made on the date on which such payment was originally payable (each date on which distributions are payable in accordance with this Section 4.1(a), a
“Distribution Date”). 
  

 -14- 
  
  

 (ii) In the event (and to the extent) that the Depositor exercises its right under the
Indenture to defer the payment of interest on the Debentures, Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be deferred but shall continue to accumulate. Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be payable at a rate of (A) 5.00% per
annum of the Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities for the period from and including August 24, 2009 to but excluding December 5, 2013 and (B) 9.00% per annum of the Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities
thereafter. The amount of Distributions payable for any full quarterly period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The amount of Distributions for any partial period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year of twelve 30-day months and the actual number of days elapsed in a partial month in that period. The amount of Distributions payable for any period shall include the Additional Amounts, if any. 
 (iii) Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be made by the Property Trustee from the Payment Account and shall be payable on each
Distribution Date only to the extent that the Issuer Trust has funds then on hand and available in the Payment Account for the payment of such Distributions. 
 (b) Distributions on the Trust Securities with respect to a Distribution Date shall be payable to the Holders thereof as they appear on the Securities Register for the Trust Securities at the close of business on the
relevant record date for such Distribution Date, which shall be the last day, whether or not a Business Day, of the month immediately preceding the Distribution Date. Distributions payable on any Trust Securities that are not punctually paid on any
Distribution Date will cease to be payable to the Person in whose name such Trust Securities are registered on the relevant record date, and such defaulted Distribution will instead be payable to the Person in whose name such Trust Securities are
registered on the special record date or other specified date for determining Holders entitled to such defaulted interest established in accordance with the Indenture. 
 Section 4.2 Redemption. 
 (a) On each Debenture Redemption Date, the Issuer Trust will be required to
redeem a Like Amount of Trust Securities at the Redemption Price. 
 (b) Notice of redemption shall be given by the Property Trustee by
first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Trust Securities to be redeemed, at such Holder’s address appearing in the Security Register. All notices of
redemption shall state: 
 (i) the Redemption Date; 
 (ii) the Redemption Price or if the Redemption Price cannot be calculated prior to the time the notice is required to be sent, the
estimate of the Redemption Price together with a statement that it is an estimate and that the actual Redemption Price will be calculated on the third Business Day prior to the Redemption Date (and if an estimate is provided, a further notice shall
be sent of the actual Redemption Price on the date that such Redemption Price is calculated); 
 (iii) the CUSIP number or
CUSIP numbers of the Capital Securities affected; 
 (iv) if less than all the Outstanding Trust Securities are to be
redeemed, the identification and the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the particular Trust Securities to be redeemed; 
  

 -15- 
  
  

 (v) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon
each such Trust Security to be redeemed and that Distributions thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date, except as provided in Section 4.2(d) below; and 
 (vi) if the Capital Securities are not in book-entry-only form, the place or places where the Capital Securities Certificates are to be
surrendered for the payment of the Redemption Price. 
 (c) The Trust Securities redeemed on each Redemption Date shall be redeemed at the
Redemption Price with the proceeds from the contemporaneous redemption of the Debentures. Redemptions of the Trust Securities shall be made and the Redemption Price shall be payable on each Redemption Date only to the extent that the Issuer Trust
has funds then on hand and available in the Payment Account for the payment of such Redemption Price. 
 (d) If the Property Trustee gives a
notice of redemption in respect of any Capital Securities, then, by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Redemption Date, subject to Section 4.2(c), the Property Trustee will, with respect to Book-Entry Capital Securities, irrevocably deposit
with the Clearing Agency for such Book-Entry Capital Securities, to the extent available therefor, funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price and will give such Clearing Agency irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the
Redemption Price to the Holders of the Capital Securities. With respect to Capital Securities that are not Book-Entry Capital Securities, the Property Trustee, subject to Section 4.2(c), will irrevocably deposit with the Paying Agent, to the
extent available therefor, funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price and will give the Paying Agent irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Redemption Price to the Holders of the Capital Securities upon surrender of their
Capital Securities Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Distributions payable on or prior to the Redemption Date for any Trust Securities called for redemption shall be payable to the Holders of such Trust Securities as they appear on the
Securities Register for the Trust Securities on the relevant record dates for the related Distribution Dates. If notice of redemption shall have been given and funds deposited as required, then upon the date of such deposit, all rights of Holders
holding Trust Securities so called for redemption will cease, except the right of such Holders to receive the Redemption Price and any Distribution payable in respect of the Trust Securities on or prior to the Redemption Date, but without interest,
and such Trust Securities will cease to be outstanding. In the event that any date on which any Redemption Price is payable is not a Business Day, then payment of the Redemption Price payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that
is a Business Day (without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay), with the same force and effect as if made on such date. In the event that payment of the Redemption Price in respect of any Trust Securities called for
redemption is improperly withheld or refused and not paid either by the Issuer Trust or by the Depositor pursuant to the Guarantee, Distributions on such Trust Securities will continue to accumulate, as set forth in Section 4.1, from the
Redemption Date originally established by the Issuer Trust for such Trust Securities to the date such Redemption Price is actually paid, in which case the actual payment date will be the date fixed for redemption for purposes of calculating the
Redemption Price. 
 (e) Subject to Section 4.3(a), if less than all the Outstanding Trust Securities are to be redeemed on a Redemption
Date, the Property Trustee shall select the particular Capital Securities to be redeemed not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date from the Outstanding Capital Securities not previously called for redemption by any method the Property
Trustee deems appropriate, provided that so long as the Capital Securities are in book-entry-only form, such selection shall be made in accordance with the customary procedures for the Clearing Agency for the Capital Securities. The Property
Trustee shall promptly notify the Securities Registrar in writing of the Capital Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Capital Securities selected for partial redemption, the Liquidation Amount thereof to be redeemed. For all
purposes of this Trust Agreement, unless the context otherwise 

  

 -16- 
  
  

 
requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Capital Securities shall relate, in the case of any Capital Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only
in part, to the portion of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of Capital Securities that has been or is to be redeemed. 
 Section 4.3
Ranking of Trust Securities. 
 (a) Payment of Distributions (including any Additional Amounts) on, the Redemption Price of, and the
Liquidation Distribution in respect of, the Trust Securities, as applicable, shall be made, subject to Section 4.2(e), pro rata among the Common Securities and the Capital Securities based on the Liquidation Amount; provided,
however, that if on any Distribution Date, Redemption Date or Liquidation Date any Event of Default resulting from a Debenture Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(1) or 5.01(2) of the Indenture shall have occurred and be
continuing, no payment of any Distribution (including any Additional Amounts) on, Redemption Price of, or Liquidation Distribution in respect of, any Common Security, and no other payment on account of the redemption, liquidation or other
acquisition of Common Securities, shall be made unless payment in full in cash of all accumulated and unpaid Distributions (including any Additional Amounts) on all Outstanding Capital Securities for all Distribution Periods terminating on or prior
thereto, or in the case of payment of the Redemption Price the full amount of such Redemption Price on all Outstanding Capital Securities then called for redemption, or in the case of payment of the Liquidation Distribution the full amount of such
Liquidation Distribution on all Outstanding Capital Securities, shall have been made or provided for, and all funds immediately available to the Property Trustee shall first be applied to the payment in full in cash of all Distributions (including
any Additional Amounts) on, or the Redemption Price of, the Capital Securities then due and payable. 
 (b) In the case of the occurrence of
any Event of Default resulting from any Debenture Event of Default, the Holders of the Common Securities shall have no right to act with respect to any such Event of Default under this Trust Agreement until the effect of all such Events of Default
with respect to the Capital Securities have been cured, waived or otherwise eliminated. Until all such Events of Default under this Trust Agreement with respect to the Capital Securities have been so cured, waived or otherwise eliminated, the
Property Trustee shall act solely on behalf of the Holders of the Capital Securities and not on behalf of the Holders of the Common Securities, and only the Holders of the Capital Securities will have the right to direct the Property Trustee to act
on their behalf. 
 Section 4.4 Payment Procedures. 
 Payments of Distributions (including any Additional Amounts) in respect of the Capital Securities shall, subject to the next succeeding sentence, be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto
as such address shall appear on the Securities Register or, if the Capital Securities are held by a Clearing Agency, such Distributions shall be made to the Clearing Agency in immediately available funds. A Holder of $1,000,000 or more in aggregate
Liquidation Amount of Capital Securities may receive payments of Distributions (including any Additional Amounts) by wire transfer of immediately available funds upon written request to the Property Trustee not later than the last day, whether or
not a Business Day, of the month immediately preceding the relevant Distribution Date. Payments in respect of the Common Securities shall be made in such manner as shall be mutually agreed between the Property Trustee and the Holders of the Common
Securities. 
 Section 4.5 Tax Returns and Reports. 
 The Administrative Trustees shall prepare (or cause to be prepared), at the Depositor’s expense, and file all United States Federal, Puerto Rico and any other state and local tax and information returns and
reports required to be filed by or in respect of the Issuer Trust. In this regard, the Administrative 

  

 -17- 
  
  

 
Trustees shall (a) prepare and file (or cause to be prepared and filed) all Internal Revenue Service and Puerto Rico Treasury Department forms required
to be filed in respect of the Issuer Trust in each taxable year of the Issuer Trust, and (b) prepare and furnish (or cause to be prepared and furnished) to each Holder all Internal Revenue Service or Puerto Rico Treasury Department forms
required to be provided by the Issuer Trust. The Administrative Trustees shall provide the Depositor and the Property Trustee with a copy of all such returns and reports promptly after such filing or furnishing. The Issuer Trustees shall comply with
United States Federal and Puerto Rico withholding and backup withholding tax laws and information reporting requirements with respect to any payments to Holders under the Trust Securities. 
 Section 4.6 Payment of Expenses of the Issuer Trust. 
 The Depositor shall pay to the Issuer Trust, and reimburse the Issuer Trust for, the full amount of any costs, expenses or liabilities of the Issuer Trust (other than obligations of the Issuer Trust to pay the Holders
of any Capital Securities or other similar interests in the Issuer Trust the amounts due such Holders pursuant to the terms of the Capital Securities or such other similar interests, as the case may be), including, without limitation, any taxes,
duties or other governmental charges of whatever nature (other than withholding taxes) imposed on the Issuer Trust by the United States or any other taxing authority. Such payment obligation includes any such costs, expenses or liabilities of the
Issuer Trust that are required by applicable law to be satisfied in connection with a dissolution of the Issuer Trust. 
 Section 4.7
Payment of Taxes, Duties, Etc. of the Trust. 
 Upon receipt under the Debentures of Additional Sums, the Property Trustee shall promptly
pay any taxes, duties or governmental charges of whatsoever nature (other than withholding taxes) imposed on the Trust; provided, however, that under no circumstances shall the Property Trustee have any liability for such sums,
including non-receipt of any Additional Sums under the Debentures. 
 Section 4.8 Payments under Indenture or Pursuant to Direct Actions.

 Any amount payable hereunder to any Holder of Capital Securities (or any Owner with respect thereto) shall be reduced by the amount of
any corresponding payment such Holder (or Owner) has directly received pursuant to Section 5.08 of the Indenture or Section 5.14 of this Trust Agreement. 
 Section 4.9 Exchanges. 
 (a) If at any time the Depositor or any of its Affiliates (in either case, a
“Depositor Affiliated Owner”) is the Owner or owner of any Capital Securities, such Depositor Affiliated Owner shall have the right to deliver to the Property Trustee all or such portion of its Capital Securities as it elects and
receive, in exchange therefor, a Like Amount of Debentures. Such election (i) shall be exercisable by such Depositor Affiliated Owner delivering to the Property Trustee a written notice of such election specifying the Liquidation Amount of the
Capital Securities with respect to which such election is being made and the date on which such exchange shall occur, which shall not be a date following the record date for any Distribution and prior to the Distribution Date for such Distribution
and (ii) shall be conditioned upon such Depositor Affiliated Owner having delivered or caused to be delivered to the Property Trustee or its designee the Capital Securities which are the subject of such election by 10:00 A.M. New York
time, on the date on which such exchange is to occur. After the exchange, such Capital Securities will be cancelled and will no longer be deemed to be Outstanding and all rights of the Depositor or its Affiliate(s) with respect to such Capital
Securities, including accumulated but unpaid Distributions thereon, will cease. In the event such Capital Securities are Book-Entry Capital Securities, upon such exchange the Property Trustee, in its capacity as Securities Registrar, shall cause an
annotation to be made on the Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate or Certificates evidencing such Book-Entry Capital Securities to evidence the reduction in the liquidation amount thereof resulting from such cancellation.

exchanges contemplated by this Section 4.9, the Issuer Trust is hereby authorized to execute, deliver and perform, and the Depositor or any Administrative Trustee on behalf of the Issuer Trust, acting singly or collectively, is hereby
authorized to execute and deliver on behalf of the Issuer Trust, an exchange agreement, cancellation letter, and any and all other documents, agreements, or certificates contemplated by or related to the exchanges made pursuant
to this Section 4.9, in each case without further vote or approval of any other Person.

 Section 5.4 Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Capital Securities Certificates. 

The Depositor shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 5.8, a register or registers for the purpose
of registering Trust Securities Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Capital Securities Certificates (the “Securities Register”) in which the transfer agent and registrar designated by the Depositor (the “Securities
Registrar”), subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, shall provide for the registration of Capital Securities Certificates and Common Securities Certificates (subject to Section 5.10 in the case of the Common
Securities Certificates) and registration of transfers and exchanges of Capital Securities Certificates as herein provided. Banco Popular de Puerto Rico shall be the initial Securities Registrar. The provisions of Sections 8.1, 8.3 and 8.6 herein
shall apply to Banco Popular de Puerto Rico in its role as Securities Registrar, for so long as Banco Popular de Puerto Rico shall act as Securities Registrar. 
 Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Capital Securities Certificate at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 5.8, the Administrative Trustees or any one of them shall execute on behalf
of the Issuer Trust (and if executed on behalf of the Issuer Trust by a facsimile signature, such certificate shall be countersigned by the Securities Registrar or its agent) and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one
or more new Capital Securities Certificates in authorized denominations of a like aggregate Liquidation Amount dated the date of execution by such Administrative Trustee or Trustees. The Securities Registrar shall not be required to register the

shall be canceled and subsequently disposed of by an Administrative Trustee or the Securities Registrar in accordance with such Person’s customary practice. 
 No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Capital Securities Certificates, but the Securities Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Capital Securities Certificates. 
 The Capital Securities will
initially bear a legend to the following effect: 
 “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT ARE NOT SAVINGS ACCOUNTS, DEPOSITS OR
OTHER OBLIGATIONS OF A BANK AND ARE NOT INSURED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY. 
 THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT
WHILE A REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATING 

  

 -20- 
  
  

 
THERETO IS IN EFFECT UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS. EACH
PURCHASER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT IS NOTIFIED THAT THE SELLER MAY BE RELYING ON THE EXEMPTION FROM SECTION 5 OF THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144A THEREUNDER. ANY TRANSFEREE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS
INSTRUMENT BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF (1) REPRESENTS THAT IT IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT), (2) AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT OFFER, SELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THE SECURITIES
REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT EXCEPT (A) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WHICH IS THEN EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (B) FOR SO LONG AS THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT ARE ELIGIBLE FOR RESALE PURSUANT TO RULE
144A, TO A PERSON IT REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT THAT PURCHASES FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER TO WHOM NOTICE IS GIVEN
THAT THE TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN RELIANCE ON RULE 144A, (C) TO THE ISSUER OR (D) PURSUANT TO ANY OTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND (3) AGREES THAT IT WILL GIVE TO EACH PERSON TO
WHOM THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT ARE TRANSFERRED A NOTICE SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE EFFECT OF THIS LEGEND.” 
 In the event
that any Capital Securities (i) become registered under the Securities Act or (ii) are eligible to be transferred without restriction in accordance with Rule 144 or another exemption from registration under the Securities Act (other
than Rule 144A), the Administrative Trustees, or any one of them, on behalf of the Issuer Trust, shall execute and make available for delivery, in exchange for the Capital Securities Certificate evidencing such Capital Securities and bearing such
legend, Capital Securities Certificate which shall not contain such legend, and the Property Trustee shall authenticate such Capital Securities Certificate; provided that that Holder surrenders to the Issuer Trustee the previously issued
certificates. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, the initial Holder shall be permitted to transfer, sell, assign or otherwise dispose of (“Transfer”) all or a portion of the Capital Securities at any time, and
the Depositor and the Administrative Trustees, on behalf of the Issuer Trust, shall take all steps as may reasonably be requested by the initial Holder to facilitate the Transfer of the Capital Securities. 
 Section 5.5 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Trust Securities Certificates. 
 If (a) any mutilated Trust Securities Certificate shall be surrendered to the Securities Registrar, or if the Securities Registrar shall receive
evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Trust Securities Certificate, and (b) there shall be delivered to the Securities Registrar and the Administrative Trustees such security or indemnity as may be required by
them to save each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice that such Trust Securities Certificate shall have been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Administrative Trustees, or any one of them, on behalf of the Issuer Trust shall execute
and make available for delivery, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Trust Securities Certificate, a new Trust Securities Certificate of like class, tenor and denomination. In connection with the issuance of
any new Trust Securities Certificate under this Section 5.5, the Administrative Trustees or the Securities Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
therewith. Any duplicate Trust Securities Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of an undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the Issuer Trust corresponding to that evidenced by the lost, stolen or
destroyed Trust Securities Certificate, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Trust Securities Certificate shall be found at any time.

 Section 5.6 Persons Deemed Holders. 
 The Issuer Trustees and the Securities Registrar shall each treat the Person in whose name any Trust Securities Certificate shall be registered in the
Securities Register as the owner of such Trust Securities Certificate for the purpose of receiving Distributions and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Issuer Trustees, the Administrative Trustees and the Securities Registrar shall
be bound by any notice to the contrary. 
 Section 5.7 Access to List of Holders’ Names and Addresses. 
 Each Holder and each Owner shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold the Depositor, the Property Trustee, the Delaware Trustee or the Administrative
Trustees accountable by reason of the disclosure of its name and address, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

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

 The Paying Agent shall make Distributions to Holders from the Payment Account and
shall report the amounts of such Distributions to the Property Trustee and the Administrative Trustees. Any Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to withdraw funds from the Payment Account solely for the purpose of making the Distributions
referred to above. The Property Trustee may revoke such power and remove the Paying Agent in its sole discretion. The Paying Agent shall initially be Banco Popular de Puerto Rico. Any Person acting as Paying Agent shall be permitted to resign as
Paying Agent upon 30 days’ written notice to the Administrative Trustees and the Property Trustee. If Banco Popular de Puerto Rico shall no longer be the Paying Agent or a successor Paying Agent shall resign or its authority to act be revoked,
the Administrative Trustees shall appoint a successor (which shall be a bank or trust company) that is reasonably acceptable to the Property Trustee and the Depositor to act as Paying Agent. Such successor Paying Agent or any additional Paying Agent
shall execute and deliver to the Issuer Trustees an instrument in which such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent shall agree with the Issuer Trustees that as Paying Agent, such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent will
hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Holders in trust for the benefit of the Holders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Holders. The Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the Property Trustee and upon
removal of a Paying Agent such Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to the Property Trustee. The provisions of Sections 8.1, 8.3 and 8.6 herein shall apply to Banco Popular de Puerto Rico in its role as Paying Agent, for so
long as Banco Popular de Puerto Rico shall act as Paying Agent and, to the extent applicable, to any other paying agent appointed hereunder. Any reference in this Agreement to the Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context
requires otherwise.

 Section 5.10 Ownership of Common Securities by Depositor. 
 At the Closing Date, the Depositor shall acquire, and thereafter shall retain, beneficial and record ownership of the Common Securities. To the fullest
extent permitted by law, other than a transfer in connection with a consolidation or merger of the Depositor into another Person, or any conveyance, transfer or lease by the Depositor of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any
Person, pursuant to Section 8.01 of the Indenture, any attempted transfer of the Common Securities shall be void. The Administrative Trustees shall cause each Common Securities Certificate issued to the Depositor to contain a legend consistent
with this Section 5.10. 
 Section 5.11 Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificates; Common Securities Certificate. 
 (a) The Capital Securities Certificates, when exchanged for new Capital Securities Certificates pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 5.4 not
bearing the legend required by such Section, may be issued in the form of a typewritten Capital Securities Certificate or Certificates representing Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificates, to be delivered to, or on behalf of, DTC, the initial
Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Issuer Trust. Such Capital Securities Certificate or Certificates shall initially be registered on the Securities Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency, and
no Owner will receive a Definitive Capital Securities Certificate representing such Owner’s interest in such Capital Securities, except as provided in Section 5.13. Unless and until Definitive Capital Securities Certificates have been
issued to Owners pursuant to Section 5.13: 
 (i) the provisions of this Section 5.11(a) shall be in full force and
effect; 
 (ii) the Securities Registrar and the Trustees shall be entitled to deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes
of this Trust Agreement relating to the Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificates (including the payment of the Liquidation Amount of and Distributions on the Capital Securities evidenced by Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificates and the giving
of instructions or directions to Owners of Capital Securities evidenced by Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificates) as the sole Holder of Capital Securities evidenced by Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificates and shall have no obligations to
the Owners thereof; 
 (iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 5.11 conflict with any other provisions of
this Trust Agreement, the provisions of this Section 5.11 shall control; and 
 (iv) the rights of the Owners of the
Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificate shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants.
Pursuant to the Certificate Depository Agreement, unless and until Definitive Capital Securities Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 5.13, the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants
and receive and transmit payments on the Capital Securities to such Clearing Agency Participants. 
 (b) A single Common Securities
Certificate representing the Common Securities shall be issued to the Depositor in the form of a definitive Common Securities Certificate. 
 Section 5.12 Notices to Clearing Agency. 
 To the extent that a notice or other communication to the Holders is required
under this Trust Agreement, for so long as Capital Securities are represented by a Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificates, the Administrative Trustees and the Issuer Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be
given to the Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligations to the Owners. 
  

 -23- 
  
  

 Section 5.13 Definitive Capital Securities Certificates. 
 The Capital Securities Certificates will initially be issued in the form of Definitive Capital Securities Certificates. If, after the exchange of
Definitive Capital Securities Certificates for Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificates as contemplated by the first paragraph of Section 5.11(a), (a) the Depositor advises the Issuer Trustees in writing that the Clearing Agency is no
longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Capital Securities Certificates, and the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, (b) the Depositor at its option advises the Issuer Trustees in
writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or (c) after the occurrence of a Debenture Event of Default, Owners of Capital Securities Certificates representing beneficial interests aggregating at least
a majority of the Liquidation Amount advise the Administrative Trustees in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interest of the Owners of Capital Securities Certificates, then the
Administrative Trustees shall notify the other Issuer Trustees and the Clearing Agency, and the Clearing Agency, in accordance with its customary rules and procedures, shall notify all Clearing Agency Participants for whom it holds Capital
Securities of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of the Definitive Capital Securities Certificates to Owners of such class or classes, as applicable, requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Administrative Trustees of the
typewritten Capital Securities Certificate or Certificates representing the Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificates by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Administrative Trustees, or any one of them, shall execute
the Definitive Capital Securities Certificates in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency, if executed on behalf of the Issuer Trust by facsimile, countersigned by the Securities Registrar or its agent. Neither the Securities
Registrar nor the Trustees shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Capital Securities Certificates, the
Issuer Trustees shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Capital Securities Certificates as holders of Trust Securities. The Definitive Capital Securities Certificates shall be typewritten, printed, lithographed or engraved or may be produced
in any other manner as is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Trustees that meets the requirements of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Capital Securities are then listed or approved for trading, as evidenced by
the execution thereof by the Administrative Trustees or any one of them. 
 Section 5.14 Rights of Holders; Waivers of Past Defaults. 

 (a) The legal title to the Trust Property is vested exclusively in the Property Trustee (in its capacity as such) in accordance with
Section 2.9, and the Holders shall not have any right or title therein other than the undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the Issuer Trust conferred by their Trust Securities and they shall have no right to call for any partition or
division of property, profits or rights of the Issuer Trust except as described below. The Trust Securities shall be personal property giving only the rights specifically set forth therein and in this Trust Agreement. The Trust Securities shall have
no preemptive or similar rights and when issued and delivered to Holders against payment of the purchase price therefor will be fully paid and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, nonassessable by the Issuer Trust. The Holders of the
Trust Securities, in their capacities as such, 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.

 (b) For so long as any Capital Securities remain Outstanding, if, upon a Debenture 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 

  

 -24- 
  
  

 
payable as set forth in the Indenture, the Property Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities then Outstanding
shall have the right to make such declaration by a notice in writing to the Depositor, the Debenture Trustee and the Property Trustee, in the case of notice by the Holders of the Capital Securities, or to the Depositor, the Debenture Trustee and the
Holders of the Capital Securities, in the case of notice by the Property Trustee; and upon any such declaration such principal amount and the accrued interest on all of the Debentures shall become immediately due and payable, provided that
the payment of principal, interest and premium, if any, on such Debentures shall remain subordinated to the extent provided in the Indenture. 
 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 in the Indenture provided, the Holders
of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities, by written notice to the Property Trustee, the Depositor and the Debenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: 
 (i) the Depositor 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 (as defined in the Indenture) 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 (as defined in
the Indenture) 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
Property 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 5.13 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, except a default in the payment of principal or interest (unless such 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 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 Property 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 Property Trustee receives such notice. The Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such notice, whether or not such Holders remain
Holders after such record date; provided that, 

  

 -25- 
  
  

 
unless such declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage
having joined in such notice prior to the day that is 90 days after such record date, such notice of declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be
canceled and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a Holder, or a proxy of a Holder, from giving, after expiration of such 90-day period, a new written notice of declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment
thereof, as the case may be, that is identical to a written notice that has been canceled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in which event a new record date shall be established pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 5.14(b). 
 (c) For so long as any Capital Securities remain Outstanding, to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to
the terms of this Trust Agreement and the Indenture, upon a Debenture Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(1) or 5.01(2) of the Indenture, any Holder of Capital Securities shall have the right to institute a proceeding directly against
the Depositor, pursuant to Section 5.08 of the Indenture, for enforcement of payment to such Holder of any amounts payable in respect of Debentures having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Capital
Securities of such Holder (a “Direct Action”). Except as set forth in Section 5.14(b) and this Section 5.14(c), the Holders of Capital Securities shall have no right to exercise directly any right or remedy available to
the holders of, or in respect of, the Debentures. 
 (d) Except as otherwise provided in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this
Section 5.14, the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Capital Securities, waive any past default or Event of Default and its consequences. Upon such waiver, any
such default or Event of Default shall cease to exist, and any default or Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Trust Agreement, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other
default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 Section 5.15 CUSIP Numbers. 
 The Administrative Trustees in issuing the Capital Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Property
Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Capital
Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Capital Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such
numbers. The Administrative Trustees will promptly notify the Property Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

 ARTICLE VI 
 ACTS OF HOLDERS; MEETINGS; VOTING 
 Section 6.1 Limitations on Voting Rights. 
 (a) Except as expressly provided in this Trust Agreement and in the Indenture
and as otherwise required by law, no Holder of Capital Securities shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the administration, operation and management of the Issuer Trust or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall
anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the Trust Securities Certificates, be construed so as to constitute the Holders from time to time as partners or members of an association. 
 (b) So long as any Debentures are held by the Property Trustee on behalf of the Issuer Trust, the Issuer Trustees shall not (i) direct the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Debenture Trustee, or execute any trust or power conferred on the Debenture Trustee with respect to the Debentures, (ii) waive any past default that may be waived
under Section 5.13 of 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 to any amendment, modification or termination of the
Indenture or the Debentures, where such consent shall be required, without, in each case, obtaining the prior approval of the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities; provided, however, that where
a consent under the Indenture would require the consent of each holder of Debentures affected thereby, no such consent shall be given by the Property Trustee without the prior written consent of each Holder of Capital Securities. The Property
Trustee shall not revoke any action previously authorized or approved by a vote of the Holders of the Capital Securities, except by a subsequent vote of the Holders of the Capital Securities. The Property Trustee shall notify all Holders of the
Capital Securities of any notice of default received with respect to the Debentures. In addition to obtaining the foregoing approvals of the Holders of the Capital Securities, prior to taking any of the foregoing actions, the Issuer Trustees shall,
at the expense of the Depositor, obtain an Opinion of Counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that such action shall not cause the Issuer Trust to be taxable as a corporation or classified as other than a grantor trust for United States
Federal or Puerto Rico income tax purposes. 
 (c) If any proposed amendment to the Trust Agreement provides for, or the Issuer Trustees
otherwise propose to effect, (i) any action that would adversely affect in any material respect the powers, preferences or special rights of the Capital Securities, whether by way of amendment to the Trust Agreement or otherwise, or
(ii) the dissolution and winding-up of the Issuer Trust, other than pursuant to the terms of this Trust Agreement, then the Holders of Outstanding Capital Securities as a 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 Capital Securities. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust Agreement, no amendment to this Trust
Agreement may be made if, as a result of such amendment, it would cause the Issuer Trust to be taxable as a corporation or classified as other than a grantor trust for United States Federal or Puerto Rico income tax purposes. 
 Section 6.2 Notice of Meetings. 
 Notice of all meetings of the Holders of the Capital Securities, stating the time, place and purpose of the meeting, shall be given by the Property Trustee pursuant to Section 10.8 to each Holder of Capital Securities, at such
Holder’s registered address, at least 15 days and not more than 90 days before the meeting. At any such meeting, any business properly before the meeting may be so considered whether or not stated in the notice of the meeting. Any adjourned
meeting may be held as adjourned without further notice. 
  

 -27- 
  
  

 Section 6.3 Meetings of Holders of the Capital Securities. 
 No annual meeting of Holders is required to be held. The Property Trustee, however, shall call a meeting of the Holders of the Capital Securities to vote
on any matter upon the written request of the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Outstanding Capital Securities and the Administrative Trustees or the Property Trustee may, at any time in their discretion, call a meeting
of the Holders of the Capital Securities to vote on any matters as to which such Holders are entitled to vote. 
 The Holders of at least a
Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities, present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of the Holders of the Capital Securities. 
 If a quorum is present at a meeting, an affirmative vote by the Holders present, in person or by proxy, holding Capital Securities representing at least
a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities held by the Holders present, either in person or by proxy, at such meeting shall constitute the action of the Holders of the Capital Securities, unless this Trust Agreement requires a
greater number of affirmative votes. 
 Section 6.4 Voting Rights. 
 Holders shall be entitled to one vote for each $1,000 of Liquidation Amount represented by their Outstanding Trust Securities in respect of any matter as
to which such Holders are entitled to vote. 
 Section 6.5 Proxies, etc. 
 At any meeting of Holders, any Holder entitled to vote thereat may vote by proxy, provided that no proxy shall be voted at any meeting unless it
shall have been placed on file with the Property Trustee, or with such other officer or agent of the Issuer Trust as the Property Trustee may direct, for verification prior to the time at which such vote shall be taken. Pursuant to a resolution of
the Property Trustee, proxies may be solicited in the name of the Property Trustee or one or more officers of the Property Trustee. Only Holders of record shall be entitled to vote. When Trust Securities are held jointly by several persons, any one
of them may vote at any meeting in person or by proxy in respect of such Trust Securities, but if more than one of them shall be present at such meeting in person or by proxy, and such joint owners or their proxies so present disagree as to any vote
to be cast, such vote shall not be received in respect of such Trust Securities. A proxy purporting to be executed by or on behalf of a Holder shall be deemed valid unless challenged at or prior to its exercise, and the burden of proving invalidity
shall rest on the challenger. No proxy shall be valid more than three years after its date of execution. 
 Section 6.6 Holder Action by
Written Consent. 
 Any action that may be taken by Holders at a meeting may be taken without a meeting if Holders holding at least a
Majority in Liquidation Amount of all Capital Securities entitled to vote in respect of such action (or such larger proportion thereof as shall be required by any other provision of this Trust Agreement) shall consent to the action in writing.

 Section 6.7 Record Date for Voting and Other Purposes. 
 For the purposes of determining the Holders who are entitled to notice of and to vote at any meeting or by written consent, or to participate in any
distribution on the Trust Securities in respect of 

  

 -28- 
  
  

 
which a record date is not otherwise provided for in this Trust Agreement, or for the purpose of any other action, the Administrative Trustees may from time
to time fix a date, not more than 90 days prior to the date of any meeting of Holders or the payment of a Distribution or other action, as the case may be, as a record date for the determination of the identity of the Holders of record for such
purposes. 
 Section 6.8 Acts of Holders. 
 Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Trust Agreement to be given, made or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or
more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are
delivered to the Property Trustee. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of
execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Trust Agreement and (subject to Section 8.1) conclusive in favor of the Issuer Trustees, if made in the manner provided in
this Section. 
 The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a
witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where
such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or
the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner that any Issuer Trustee receiving the same deems sufficient. 
 The ownership of Trust Securities shall be proved by the Securities Register. 
 Any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Trust Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Trust Security and the Holder of every Trust Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in
lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Issuer Trustees, or the Issuer Trust in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Trust Security. 
 Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Trust Security may do so with
regard to all or any part of the Liquidation Amount of such Trust Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such Liquidation Amount. 
 If any dispute shall arise between the Holders and the Issuer Trustees or among the Holders or the Issuer Trustees with respect to the authenticity,
validity or binding nature of any request, demand, authorization, direction, consent, waiver or other Act of such Holder or Issuer Trustee under this Article VI, then the determination of such matter by the Property Trustee shall be conclusive
with respect to such matter. 
 Section 6.9 Inspection of Records. 
 Upon reasonable notice to the Administrative Trustees and the Property Trustee, the records of the Issuer Trust shall be open to inspection by Holders
during normal business hours for any purpose reasonably related to such Holder’s interest as a Holder.

Agreement.

 ARTICLE VIII 
 THE
ISSUER TRUSTEES 
 Section 8.1 Certain Duties and Responsibilities. 
 (a) The duties and responsibilities of the Issuer Trustees shall be as provided by this Trust Agreement, subject to Section 10.10 hereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Section 8.1(c), no provision of this Trust Agreement shall require any of the Issuer Trustees to expend or risk its or their own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance
of any of its or their duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its or their rights or powers, if it or they shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not
reasonably assured to it. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Trust Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Issuer Trustees shall be subject to the provisions
of this Section 8.1. To the extent that, at law or in equity, an Administrative Trustee has duties and liabilities relating to the Issuer Trust or to the Holders, such Administrative Trustee shall not be liable to the Issuer Trust or to any
Holder for such Administrative Trustee’s good faith reliance on the provisions of this Trust Agreement. The provisions of this Trust Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of the Administrative Trustees otherwise
existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Depositor and the Holders to replace such other duties and liabilities of the Administrative Trustees. 
 (b) All payments made by the Property Trustee or a Paying Agent in respect of the Trust Securities shall be made only from the revenue and proceeds from the Trust Property and only to the extent that there shall be
sufficient revenue or proceeds from the Trust Property to enable the Property Trustee or a Paying Agent to make payments in accordance with the terms hereof. Each Holder, by its acceptance of a Trust Security, agrees that it will look solely to the
revenue and proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent legally available for distribution to it as herein provided and that the Issuer Trustees are not personally liable to such Holder for any amount distributable in respect of any Trust
Security or 

  

 -31- 
  
  

 
for any other liability in respect of any Trust Security. This Section 8.1(b) does not limit the liability of the Issuer Trustees expressly set forth
elsewhere in this Trust Agreement or, in the case of the Property Trustee, in the Trust Indenture Act. 
 (c) If an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Property Trustee shall enforce this Trust Agreement for the benefit of the Holders. 
 (d) The Property
Trustee, before the occurrence of any Event of Default and after the curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, shall undertake to perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Trust Agreement (including pursuant to
Section 10.10), and no implied covenants shall be read into this Trust Agreement against the Property Trustee. If an Event of Default has occurred (that has not been cured or waived pursuant to Section 5.14), the Property Trustee shall
exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Trust Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise thereof, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own
affairs. 
 (e) No provision of this Trust Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Property Trustee from liability for its own negligent
action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 (i) prior to the occurrence of any
Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default that may have occurred: 
  

	 	(A)	the duties and obligations of the Property Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Trust Agreement (including pursuant to Section 10.10), and the
Property Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Trust Agreement (including pursuant to Section 10.10); and 

  

	 	(B)	in the absence of negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Property Trustee, the Property Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Property Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Trust Agreement; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions that by any provision

afforded to the Property Trustee under this Trust Agreement and the Trust Indenture Act; 
 (iv) the Property Trustee shall
not be liable for any interest on any money received by it except as it may otherwise agree in writing with the Depositor; and money held by the Property Trustee need not be segregated from other funds held by it except in relation to the Payment

 (vi) subject to
Section 8.1(c), no provision of this Trust Agreement shall require the Property Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its
rights or powers, if the Property Trustee shall have reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment of such funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it under the terms of this Trust Agreement or adequate indemnity against such risk or
liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
 (f) The Administrative Trustees shall not be responsible for monitoring the compliance by the

delivered such notice, or such reasonably shorter period of time set forth in such notice (which to the extent practicable shall not be less than two Business Days), the Property Trustee shall take such action, or refrain from taking such action,
not inconsistent with this Trust Agreement, as the Property Trustee may deem advisable and in the best interests of the Holders, in which event the Property Trustee shall have no liability except for its own negligence or willful misconduct;

 (c) any direction or act of the Depositor contemplated by this Trust Agreement shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers’

 (n) The rights,
privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Property Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Property Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and
each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

 Section 8.4 Issuer Trustees Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities. 
 The recitals contained herein and in the Trust Securities Certificates shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer Trust and the Depositor, and the
Issuer Trustees do not assume any responsibility for their correctness. The Issuer Trustees shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor of the proceeds of the Debentures. 
 Section 8.5 Issuer Trustees May Hold Securities. 
 Any Issuer Trustee or any other agent of any Issuer Trustee or the Issuer Trust, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Trust Securities and, subject to Sections 8.8 and 8.13, and

 Section 8.6 Compensation; Indemnity; Fees. 
 The Depositor agrees: 
 (a) to pay to the Issuer Trustees from time to time such reasonable compensation for all services rendered
by them hereunder as may be separately agreed by the Depositor and the Issuer Trustees from time to time (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust); 
 (b) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Issuer Trustees upon request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances
incurred or made by the Issuer Trustees in accordance with any provision of this Trust Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of their agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance

 No Issuer Trustee may claim any Lien on
any Trust Property as a result of any amount due pursuant to this Section 8.6.

 The Depositor and any Issuer Trustee may engage in or possess an interest in other business ventures of
any nature or description, independently or with others, similar or dissimilar to the business of the Issuer Trust, and the Issuer Trust and the Holders of Trust Securities shall have no rights by virtue of this Trust Agreement in and to such
independent ventures or the income or profits derived therefrom, and the pursuit of any such venture, even if competitive with the business of the Issuer Trust, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper. Neither the Depositor nor any Issuer Trustee
shall be obligated to present any particular investment or other opportunity to the Issuer Trust even if such opportunity is of a character that, if presented to the Issuer Trust, could be taken by the Issuer Trust, and the Depositor and any Issuer
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 Issuer Trustee may engage or be interested in any financial or
other transaction with the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor, or may act as depository for, trustee or agent for, or act on any committee or body of holders of, securities or other obligations of the Depositor or its Affiliates.

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

 Section 8.9 Co-Trustees and Separate Trustee. 
 Unless and until a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time or times, for the purpose of meeting the legal
requirements of the Trust Indenture Act or of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Property may at the time be located, the Holder of Common Securities and the Administrative Trustees shall have the power to appoint one or more Persons
either to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Property Trustee, of all or any part of such Trust Property, or to the extent required by law to act as separate trustee of any such property, in either case with such powers as may be provided in the
instrument of appointment, and to vest in such Person or Persons in the capacity aforesaid, any property, title, right or power deemed necessary or desirable, subject to the other provisions of this Section. If a Debenture Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, the Property Trustee shall have the sole power to so appoint such a co-trustee or separate trustee, and upon the written request of the Property Trustee, the Depositor and the Administrative Trustees shall for such
purpose join with the Property Trustee in the execution, delivery, and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to appoint, such co-trustee or separate trustee. Any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed pursuant to this
Section shall either be (i) a natural person who is at least 21 years of age and a resident of the United States or Puerto Rico, or (ii) a legal entity with its principal place of business in the United States or Puerto Rico that shall act
through one or more persons authorized to bind such entity. 
 Should any written instrument from the Depositor be required by any co-trustee
or separate trustee so appointed for more fully confirming to such co-trustee or separate trustee such property, title, right, or power, any and all such instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Depositor.

 Every co-trustee or separate trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, but to such extent only, be appointed subject to the following
terms, namely: 
 (a) The Trust Securities shall be executed by one or more Administrative Trustees, and the Trust Securities shall be
delivered by the Property Trustee, and all rights, powers, duties, and obligations hereunder in respect of the custody of securities, cash and other personal property held by, or required to be deposited or pledged with, the Property Trustee
specified hereunder shall be exercised solely by the Property Trustee and not by such co-trustee or separate trustee. 
 (b) The rights,
powers, duties, and obligations hereby conferred or imposed upon the Property Trustee in respect of any property covered by such appointment shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Property Trustee or by the Property
Trustee and such co-trustee or separate trustee jointly, as shall be provided in the instrument appointing such co-trustee or separate trustee, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be
performed, the Property Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such co-trustee or separate trustee. 
 (c) The Property Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing executed by it, with the written concurrence of the Depositor, may accept the
resignation of or remove any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed under this Section 8.9, and, in case a Debenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Property Trustee shall have power to accept the resignation of, or
remove, any such co-trustee or separate trustee without the concurrence of the Depositor. Upon the written request of the Property Trustee, the Depositor shall join with the Property Trustee in the execution, delivery and performance of all
instruments and agreements necessary or proper to effectuate such resignation or removal. A successor to any co-trustee or separate trustee so resigning or removed may be appointed in the manner provided in this Section 8.9. 
  

 -38- 
  
  

 (d) No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or
omission of the Property Trustee or any other trustee hereunder. 
 (e) The Property Trustee shall not be liable by reason of any act of a
co-trustee or separate trustee. 
 (f) Any Act of Holders delivered to the Property Trustee shall be deemed to have been delivered to each
such co-trustee and separate trustee. 
 Section 8.10 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. 
 No resignation or removal of any Issuer Trustee (the “Relevant Trustee”) and no appointment of a successor Issuer Trustee pursuant to
this Article VIII shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Issuer Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11. 
 Subject to the immediately preceding paragraph, the Relevant Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Holders. If the
instrument of acceptance by the successor Issuer Trustee required by Section 8.11 shall not have been delivered to the Relevant Trustee within 60 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the Relevant Trustee may petition, at the
expense of the Depositor, in the case of the Property Trustee, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Relevant Trustee. 
 The Administrative Trustees, or any of them, may be removed at any time by Act of the Holders of Common Securities delivered to the Relevant Trustee. 
 The Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, or both of them, may be removed by Act of the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the
Capital Securities, delivered to the Relevant Trustee (in its individual capacity and, in the case of the Property Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer Trust) (i) for cause (including upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in
subparagraph (d) of the definition thereof with respect to the Relevant Trustee), or (ii) at any time if a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Unless and until a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, or both of them, may be removed at any time by Act of the Holders of the Common Securities. 
 If any Issuer Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting as an Issuer Trustee, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of any Issuer Trustee for any cause, at any time when no Debenture Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Holders of the Common Securities, by Act of such Holders delivered to the Relevant Trustee, shall promptly appoint such successor Issuer Trustee or Trustees, and the Relevant Trustee shall comply
with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11. If the Property Trustee or Delaware Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting as Issuer Trustee, as the case may be and a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, the Holders of the Capital Securities, by Act of the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities then Outstanding delivered to such Relevant Trustee, may appoint a successor Relevant Trustee
or Trustees, and such successor Issuer Trustee shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11. If no successor Relevant Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Holders of the Common Securities or Capital Securities, as the
case may be, and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 8.11, any Holder, on behalf of such Holder and all others similarly situated, or any other Issuer Trustee, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Relevant Trustee. 
  

 -39- 
  
  

 The Property Trustee shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of an Issuer Trustee and each
appointment of a successor Issuer Trustee to all Holders in the manner provided in Section 10.8 and shall give notice to the Depositor and to the Administrative Trustees. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Relevant Trustee and
the address of its Corporate Trust Office if it is the Property Trustee. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this
Trust Agreement, if any Delaware Trustee who is a natural person dies or becomes, in the opinion of the Holders of the Common Securities, incompetent or incapacitated, the vacancy created by such death, incompetence or incapacity may be filled by
the Property Trustee following the procedures regarding expenses and charges set forth above (with the successor being a Person who satisfies the eligibility requirement for the Delaware Trustee set forth in Section 8.7). 
 Section 8.11 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. 
 In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Relevant Trustee, the retiring Relevant Trustee (if requested by the Depositor) and each successor Relevant Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities shall
execute and deliver an amendment hereto wherein each successor Relevant Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (a) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each
successor Relevant Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Relevant Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities and the Issuer Trust, and (b) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Trust Agreement as
shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the Issuer Trust by more than one Relevant Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such amendment shall constitute such Relevant Trustees co-trustees and upon the
execution and delivery of such amendment the resignation or removal of the retiring Relevant Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Relevant Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, other
than the filing of an amendment to the Certificate of Trust to the extent required under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Relevant Trustee; but, on request of the
Issuer Trust or any successor Relevant Trustee such retiring Relevant Trustee shall upon payment of its charges hereunder duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Relevant Trustee all Trust Property, all proceeds thereof and money held by
such retiring Relevant Trustee hereunder with respect to the Trust Securities and the Issuer Trust. 
 Upon request of any such successor
Relevant Trustee, the Issuer Trust shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Relevant Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the preceding paragraph. 

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

 Section 8.13 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Depositor or Issuer Trust. 
 If and when the Property Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Depositor or the Issuer Trust (or any other obligor upon the Capital Securities),
the Property Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Depositor or the Issuer Trust (or any such other obligor). 
 Section 8.14 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 
 In case of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other similar judicial proceeding relative to the Issuer Trust or any other obligor upon the
Trust Securities or the property of the Issuer Trust or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Property Trustee (irrespective of whether any Distributions on the Trust Securities shall then be due and payable and irrespective of whether the
Property Trustee shall have made any demand on the Issuer Trust for the payment of any past due Distributions) shall be entitled and empowered, to the fullest extent permitted by law, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 
 (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of any Distributions owing and unpaid in respect of the Trust Securities and to file such other papers
or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Property Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Property Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the
Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and 
 (b) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any
such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Property
Trustee and, in the event the Property Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Property Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Property Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Property Trustee. 
 Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to
authorize the Property Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement adjustment or compensation affecting the Trust Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to
authorize the Property Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 
 Section 8.15 Reports by Property
Trustee. 
 (a) Not later than February 28 of each year commencing with 2010, the Property Trustee shall transmit to all Holders in
accordance with Section 10.8, and to the Depositor, a brief report dated as of the immediately preceding December 31 with respect to: 
 (i) its eligibility under Section 8.7 or, in lieu thereof, if to the best of its knowledge it has continued to be eligible under said Section, a written statement to such effect; and 
 (ii) any change in the property and funds in its possession as Property Trustee since the date of its last report and any action taken by
the Property Trustee in the performance of its duties hereunder which it has not previously reported and which in its opinion materially affects the Trust Securities. 
  

 -41- 
  
  

 (b) In addition, the Property Trustee shall transmit to Holders such reports concerning the Property
Trustee and its actions under this Trust Agreement as may be required pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act at the times and in the manner provided pursuant thereto. 
 (c) A copy of each such report shall, at the time of such transmission to Holders, be filed by the Property Trustee with each national stock exchange, the Nasdaq National Market or such other exchange, interdealer

the times required by Section 314 of the Trust Indenture Act. The Depositor and the Administrative Trustees shall annually file with the Property Trustee a certificate specifying whether such Person is in compliance with all of the terms and
covenants applicable to such Person hereunder. 
 Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Property Trustee is for
informational purposes only and the Property Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Depositor’s compliance
with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Property Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). 
 Section 8.17 Evidence of Compliance with Conditions Precedent. 
 Each of the Depositor and the Administrative Trustees shall

 ARTICLE IX 
 DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND MERGER 
 Section 9.1 Dissolution Events. 
 The
first to occur of any of the following events is a “Dissolution Event”: 
 (a) the occurrence of a Depositor Bankruptcy
Event in respect of, or the dissolution or liquidation of, the Depositor, in its capacity as the Holder of the Common Securities, unless the Depositor shall transfer the Common Securities as provided by Section 5.10, in which case this
provision shall refer instead to any such successor Holder of the Common Securities; 
 (b) the written direction to the Property Trustee
from all of the Holders of the Common Securities at any time to dissolve the Issuer Trust and to distribute the Debentures to Holders in exchange for the Capital Securities (which direction is optional and wholly within the discretion of the Holders
of the Common Securities); 
 (c) the redemption of all of the Capital Securities in connection with the redemption or repayment of all the
Debentures; and 
 (d) the entry of an order for dissolution of the Issuer Trust by a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 Section 9.2 Dissolution. 
 The
respective obligations and responsibilities of the Issuer Trustees and the Issuer Trust created and continued hereby shall terminate upon the latest to occur of the following: (a) the distribution by the Property Trustee to Holders of all
amounts required to be distributed hereunder upon the liquidation of the Issuer Trust pursuant to Section 9.3, or upon the redemption of all of the Trust Securities pursuant to Section 4.2; (b) the payment of any expenses owed by the
Issuer Trust; and (c) the discharge of all administrative duties of the Administrative Trustees, including the performance of any tax reporting obligations with respect to the Issuer Trust or the Holders. 
 Section 9.3 Liquidation. 
 (a) If a
Dissolution Event specified in clause (a), (b) or (d) of Section 9.1 occurs, the Issuer Trust shall be liquidated by the Issuer Trustees as expeditiously as the Issuer Trustees determine to be possible by distributing, after
satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Issuer Trust as provided by applicable law, to each Holder a Like Amount of Debentures, subject to Section 9.3(d). Notice of liquidation shall be given by the Property Trustee by first-class mail,
postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Liquidation Date to each Holder of Trust Securities at such Holder’s address appearing in the Securities Register. All such notices of liquidation shall: 
 (i) state the CUSIP Number of the Trust Securities; 
 (ii) state the Liquidation Date; 
  

 -43- 
  
  

 (iii) state that from and after the Liquidation Date, the Trust Securities will no longer
be deemed to be Outstanding and any Trust Securities Certificates not surrendered for exchange will be deemed to represent a Like Amount of Debentures, or if Section 9.3(d) applies, a right to receive a Liquidating Distribution; and 

(iv) provide such information with respect to the mechanics by which Holders may exchange Trust Securities Certificates for Debentures,
or if Section 9.3(d) applies, receive a Liquidation Distribution, as the Property Trustee (after consultation with the Administrative Trustees) shall deem appropriate. 
 (b) Except where Section 9.1(c) or 9.3(d) applies, in order to effect the liquidation of the Issuer Trust and distribution of the Debentures to
Holders, the Property Trustee, either itself acting as exchange agent or through the appointment of a separate exchange agent, shall establish a record date for such distribution (which shall be not more than 30 days prior to the Liquidation Date)
and, establish such procedures as it shall deem appropriate to effect the distribution of Debentures in exchange for the Outstanding Trust Securities Certificates. 
 (c) Except where Section 9.1(c) or 9.3(d) applies, after the Liquidation Date, (i) the Trust Securities will no longer be deemed to be Outstanding, (ii) certificates representing a Like Amount of
Debentures will be issued to Holders of Trust Securities Certificates, upon surrender of such Certificates to the exchange agent for exchange, (iii) the Depositor shall use its best efforts to have the Debentures listed on a national stock
exchange, the Nasdaq National Market or such other exchange, interdealer quotation system or self-regulatory organization as the Capital Securities are then listed, (iv) any Trust Securities Certificates not so surrendered for exchange will be
deemed to represent a Like Amount of Debentures bearing accrued and unpaid interest in an amount equal to the accumulated and unpaid Distributions on such Trust Securities Certificates until such certificates are so surrendered (and until such
certificates are so surrendered, no payments of interest or principal will be made to Holders of Trust Securities Certificates with respect to such Debentures) and (v) all rights of Holders holding Trust Securities will cease, except the right
of such Holders to receive Debentures upon surrender of Trust Securities Certificates. 
 (d) If, notwithstanding the other provisions of
this Section 9.3, whether because of an order for dissolution entered by a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise, distribution of the Debentures in the manner provided herein is determined by the Property Trustee not to be practical, or
if a Dissolution Event specified in Section 9.1(c) occurs, the Trust Property shall be liquidated, and its affairs wound-up, by the Property Trustee in such manner as the Property Trustee determines. In such event, Holders will be entitled to
receive out of the assets of the Issuer Trust available for distribution to Holders, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Issuer Trust as provided by applicable law, an amount equal to the Liquidation Amount per Trust Security plus
accumulated and unpaid Distributions thereon to the date of payment (such amount being the “Liquidation Distribution”). If, upon any such winding up, the Liquidation Distribution can be paid only in part because the Issuer Trust has
insufficient assets available to pay in full the aggregate Liquidation Distribution, then, subject to the next succeeding sentence, the amounts payable by the Issuer Trust on the Trust Securities shall be paid on a pro rata basis (based upon
Liquidation Amounts). The Holders of the Common Securities will be entitled to receive Liquidation Distributions upon any such winding-up pro rata (determined as aforesaid) with Holders of Capital Securities, except that, if a Debenture Event
of Default specified in Section 5.01(1) or 5.01(2) of the Indenture has occurred and is continuing, the Capital Securities shall have a priority over the Common Securities as provided in Section 4.3.

 Section 9.4 Mergers, Consolidations, Amalgamations or Replacements of Issuer Trust. 
 The Issuer Trust may not merge with or into, consolidate, amalgamate, or be replaced by, or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets
substantially as an entirety to any corporation or other body, except pursuant to this Section 9.4 or Section 9.3. At the request of the Holders of the Common Securities, with the consent of the Administrative Trustees, but without the
consent of the Holders of the Capital Securities, the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, the Issuer Trust may merge with or into, consolidate, amalgamate, or be replaced by or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially
as an entirety to a trust organized as such under the laws of any state or Puerto Rico; provided, that (i) such successor entity either (a) expressly assumes all of the obligations of the Issuer Trust with respect to the Capital
Securities, or (b) substitutes for the Capital Securities other securities having substantially the same terms as the Capital Securities (the “Successor Securities”) so long as the Successor Securities have the same priority as
the Capital Securities with respect to distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption and otherwise, (ii) a trustee of such successor entity possessing substantially the same powers and duties as the Property Trustee is appointed to
hold the Debentures, (iii) the Successor Securities are listed, or any Successor Securities will be listed upon notice of issuance, on a national securities exchange, the Nasdaq National Market or such other exchange, interdealer quotation
system of self-regulatory organization as the Capital Securities are then listed, if any, (iv) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not cause the Capital Securities (including any Successor
Securities) to be downgraded by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, (v) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges
of the holders of the Capital Securities (including any Successor Securities) in any material respect, (vi) such successor entity has a purpose substantially identical to that of the Issuer Trust, (vii) prior to such merger, consolidation,
amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, the Depositor has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (a) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not adversely affect the
rights, preferences and privileges of the Holders of the Capital Securities (including any Successor Securities) in any material respect, and (b) following such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease,
neither the Issuer Trust nor such successor entity will be required to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act, and (viii) the Depositor or its permitted transferee owns all of the Common Securities of
such successor entity and guarantees the obligations of such successor entity under the Successor Securities at least to the extent provided by the Guarantee Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer Trust shall not, except with the
consent of Holders of all of the Capital Securities, consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or be replaced by or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any other entity or permit any other entity to
consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or replace it if such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease would cause the Issuer Trust or the successor entity to be taxable as a corporation or classified as
other than a grantor trust for United States Federal or Puerto Rico income tax purposes.
