federal income tax purposes and so that the Debentures shall be treated as
indebtedness of the Depositor for United States federal income tax purposes. In
this connection, subject to Section 1002, the Depositor and the
Administrative Trustees are authorized to take any action and the
Administrative Trustees are authorized to direct the Property Trustee in
writing to take any action, not inconsistent with applicable law or this Trust
Agreement, that each of the Depositor and the Administrative Trustees
determines in their discretion to be necessary or desirable for such purposes.  The Property Trustee shall take any action so
directed by one or more of the Administrative Trustees.

DISTRIBUTIONS; REDEMPTION

 

Section 401          Distributions.

 

(a)           Distributions on the
Trust Securities shall be cumulative, and shall accumulate whether or not there
are funds of the Trust available for the payment of Distributions.
Distributions shall accumulate from the date of issuance of the Trust
Securities, and, except during any Extended Interest Period with respect to the
Debentures, shall be payable quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30,
September 30 and December 31 of each year, commencing on March 31,
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) except that if such Business Day is in the next
succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately
preceding Business Day (and without any reduction in interest or any other
payment in respect of any such acceleration), in each case with the same force
and effect as if made on such date (each date on which distributions are
payable in accordance with this Section 401(a), a “Distribution Date”).

 

(b)           The Trust Securities
represent undivided beneficial interests in the Trust Property.  Distributions on the Trust Securities shall
be payable at a rate of
[            %] per
annum of the Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities. The amount of
Distributions payable for any full 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 the number of days elapsed in
a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. During any Extended Interest Period
with respect to the Debentures, Distributions on the Preferred Securities shall
be deferred for a period equal to the Extended Interest Period. The amount of
Distributions payable for any period shall include the Additional Amounts, if
any.

 

15

 

(c)           Distributions on the
Trust Securities shall be made by the Property Trustee solely from the Payment
Account and shall be payable on each Distribution Date only to the extent that
the Trust has funds then on hand and immediately available by 12:30 p.m.
on each Distribution Date in the Payment Account for the payment of such
Distributions.

 

(d)           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 on the relevant record date, which shall be the 15th day of March,
June, September or December for Distributions payable on the last
calendar day of the respective month; provided, however, that
for any Trust Securities held in global form, Distributions shall be payable to
the Holder thereof as of one Business Day immediately preceding the
Distribution Date.

 

Section 402          Redemption.

 

(a)           On each Debenture
Redemption Date and at maturity of the Debentures, the Trust shall 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 thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the
Redemption Date to each Holder of Trust Securities to be redeemed, at such
Holder’s address appearing in the Securities Register. The Property Trustee
shall have no responsibility for the accuracy of any CUSIP number contained in
such notice. All notices of redemption shall state:

 

(i)            the Redemption Date;

 

(ii)           the Redemption Price;

 

(iii)          the CUSIP number;

 

(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;

 

(v)           that, on the Redemption
Date, the Redemption Price shall become due and payable upon each such Trust
Security to be redeemed and that Distributions thereon shall cease to
accumulate on and after said date, except as provided in Section 402(d);
and

 

(vi)          the place or places at
which Trust Securities 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 Trust has immediately
available funds then on hand and available in the Payment Account for the
payment of such Redemption Price.

 

16

 

(d)           If the Property Trustee
gives a notice of redemption in respect of any Preferred Securities, then, by
12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Redemption Date, subject to Section 402(c),
the Property Trustee, subject to Section 402(c), shall, with respect to
Preferred Securities held in global form, deposit with the Clearing Agency for
such Preferred Securities, to the extent available therefor, funds sufficient
to pay the applicable Redemption Price and will give such Clearing Agency
irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Redemption Price to the
Holders of the Preferred Securities. 
With respect to Trust Securities that are not held in global form, the
Property Trustee, subject to Section 402(c), shall deposit with the Paying
Agent funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price and shall give
the Paying Agent irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Redemption
Price to the record holders thereof upon surrender of their Preferred
Securities Certificates.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Distributions payable on or prior to the Redemption Date for any
Trust Securities called for redemption shall be payable to the Holders of such
Trust Securities as they appear on the Securities Register for the Trust
Securities on the relevant record dates for the related Distribution Dates.  If notice of redemption shall have been given
and funds deposited as required, then upon the date of such deposit, (i) all
rights of Securityholders holding Trust Securities so called for redemption
shall cease, except the right of such Securityholders to receive the Redemption
Price, but without interest, (ii) such Trust Securities shall cease to be
Outstanding, (iii) the Clearing Agency for the Preferred Securities or its
nominee, as the registered Holder of the Global Preferred Securities
Certificate, shall receive a registered global certificate or certificates
representing the Debentures to be delivered upon such distribution with respect
to Preferred Securities held by the Clearing Agency or its nominee, and (iv) any
Trust Securities Certificates not held by the Clearing Agency for the Preferred
Securities or its nominee as specified in clause (iii) above will be
deemed to represent Debentures having a principal amount equal to the stated
Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities represented thereby and bearing
accrued and unpaid interest in an amount equal to the accumulated and unpaid
Distributions on such Trust Securities until such certificates are presented to
the Securities Registrar for transfer or reissuance.  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 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) except that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding
calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business
Day (and without any reduction of interest or any other payment in respect of
any such acceleration), in each case 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 Trust
or by the Depositor pursuant to the Guarantee, Distributions on such Trust
Securities shall continue to accumulate, at the then applicable rate, from the
Redemption Date originally established by the Trust for such Trust Securities
to the date such Redemption Price is actually paid, in which case the actual payment
date shall be the date fixed for redemption for purposes of calculating the
Redemption Price.

 

(e)           Payment of the
Redemption Price on the Trust Securities shall be made to the record holders
thereof as they appear on the Securities Register for the Trust Securities on
the relevant record date, which shall be the date fifteen (15) days prior to
the relevant Redemption Date; provided, however, that for any Trust Securities
held in global form, payment of the 

 

17

 

Redemption Price shall be
made to the Holder thereof as of one Business Day immediately preceding the
Redemption Date.

 

(f)            Subject to Section 403(a),
if less than all the Outstanding Trust Securities are to be redeemed on a
Redemption Date, then the aggregate Liquidation Amount of Trust Securities to
be redeemed shall be allocated on a pro rata basis (based on Liquidation
Amounts) among the Common Securities and the Preferred Securities. The
particular Preferred Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than
sixty (60) days prior to the Redemption Date by the Property Trustee from the
Outstanding Preferred Securities not previously called for redemption, by such
method (including, without limitation, by lot) as the Property Trustee shall
deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for
redemption of portions (equal to such Liquidation Amount or an integral
multiple of such Liquidation Amount in excess thereof) of the Liquidation
Amount of the Preferred Securities of a denomination larger than such
Liquidation Amount; provided, however, in the event the redemption relates only
to Preferred Securities purchased and held by the Depositor being redeemed for
a Like Amount of Debentures, the Property Trustee shall select those particular
Preferred Securities for redemption.  The
Property Trustee shall promptly notify the Securities Registrar in writing of
the Preferred Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any
Preferred Securities selected for partial redemption, the Liquidation Amount
thereof to be redeemed.  For all purposes
of this Trust Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions
relating to the redemption of the Preferred Securities shall relate, in the
case of any Preferred Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to
the portion of the Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities which has
been or is to be redeemed.

 

Section 403          Subordination of the
Common Securities.

 

(a)           Payment of
Distributions (including Additional Amounts, if applicable) on, and the
Redemption Price of, the Trust Securities, as applicable, shall be made,
subject to Section 402(f), pro rata among
the Common Securities and the Preferred Securities based on the Liquidation
Amount of the Trust Securities; provided, however, that if on any Distribution
Date or Redemption Date any Event of Default resulting from a Debenture Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no payment of any
Distribution (including Additional Amounts, if applicable) on, or Redemption
Price of, any Common Security, and no other payment on account of the
redemption, liquidation or other acquisition of the Common Securities, shall be
made unless payment in full in cash of all accumulated and unpaid Distributions
(including Additional Amounts, if applicable) on all Outstanding Preferred
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 Preferred Securities then called for redemption, 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 Additional Amounts, if applicable) on, or the
Redemption Price of, the Preferred Securities then due and payable.

 

(b)           In the case of the
occurrence of any Event of Default resulting from a Debenture Event of Default,
the Holder of the Common Securities shall be deemed to have waived any 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 Preferred
Securities shall have 

 

18

 

been cured, waived or
otherwise eliminated. Until any such Event of Default under this Trust
Agreement with respect to the Preferred Securities shall have been so cured,
waived or otherwise eliminated, the Property Trustee shall act solely on behalf
of the Holders of the Preferred Securities and not the Holder of the Common
Securities, and only the Holders of the Preferred Securities shall have the
right to direct the Property Trustee to act on their behalf.

 

Section 404          Payment Procedures.  Payments of Distributions (including
Additional Amounts, if applicable) in respect of the Preferred Securities shall
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 Preferred Securities
are held by a Clearing Agency, such Distributions shall be made to the Clearing
Agency in immediately available funds, which will credit the relevant accounts
on the applicable Distribution Dates. 
Payments in respect of the Common Securities shall be made in such
manner as shall be mutually agreed between the Property Trustee and the Common
Securityholder.

 

Section 405          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, state and local tax and information returns and reports
required to be filed by or in respect of the Trust. In this regard, the
Administrative Trustees shall (a) prepare and file (or cause to be
prepared and filed) the appropriate Internal Revenue Service form required to
be filed in respect of the Trust in each taxable year of the Trust; and (b) prepare
and furnish (or cause to be prepared and furnished) to each Securityholder the
appropriate Internal Revenue Service forms required to be furnished to such
Securityholder or the information required to be provided on such forms. The
Administrative Trustees shall provide the Depositor with a copy of all such
returns and reports promptly after such filing or furnishing. The Property
Trustee shall comply with United States federal withholding and backup
withholding tax laws and information reporting requirements with respect to any
payments to the Securityholders under the Trust Securities.

 

Section 406          Payment of Taxes,
Duties, Etc. of the Trust.  Upon receipt
under the Debentures of Additional Payments, the Property Trustee, at the
direction of an Administrative Trustee or the Depositor, shall promptly pay any
taxes, duties or governmental charges of whatsoever nature (other than
withholding taxes) imposed on the Trust by the United States or any other
taxing authority.

 

Section 407          Payments under the
Indenture.  Any amount payable
hereunder to any Holder of Preferred Securities shall be reduced by the amount
of any corresponding payment such Holder has directly received under the
Indenture pursuant to Section 514(b) or (c) hereof.

notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so
authorized prior to the delivery of such Trust Securities Certificates or did
not hold such offices at the date of delivery of such Trust Securities
Certificates. A transferee of a Trust Securities Certificate shall become a
Securityholder, and shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the
obligations of a Securityholder hereunder, upon due registration of such Trust
Securities Certificate in such transferee’s name pursuant to Sections 504, 511
and 514.

 

Section 503          Execution,
Authentication and Delivery of the Trust Securities Certificates.

and, if applicable, the Option Closing Date, as such term is defined in the
Underwriting Agreement, or upon the occurrence of any of the events described
in clauses (i) through (iii) of Section 503A, the Administrative
Trustees shall cause Trust Securities Certificates, in an aggregate Liquidation

(b)           A Preferred Securities
Certificate shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of
an authorized signatory of the Property Trustee in substantially the form of Exhibit E
hereto.  The signature shall be
conclusive evidence that the Preferred Securities Certificate has been
authenticated under this Trust Agreement. 
Each Preferred Security Certificate shall be dated the date of its
authentication.

 

(c)           Upon the written order
of the Trust signed by one of the Administrative Trustees, the Property Trustee
shall authenticate and make available for delivery the Preferred Securities
Certificates.

 

(d)           The Property Trustee
may appoint an Authenticating Agent acceptable to the Trust to authenticate the
Preferred Securities.  An Authenticating
Agent may authenticate the Preferred Securities whenever the Property Trustee
may do so.  Each reference in this Trust
Agreement to authentication by the Property Trustee includes authentication by
such agent.  An Authenticating Agent has
the same rights as the Property Trustee to deal with the Depositor or the
Trust.

Section 503A.      Global Preferred Security.

 

(a)            Any
Global Preferred Security issued under this Trust Agreement shall be registered
in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency and delivered to such
custodian therefor, and such Global Preferred Security shall constitute a
single Preferred Security for all purposes of this Trust Agreement.

 

(b)           Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Trust Agreement, no Global Preferred Security may
be exchanged for Preferred Securities registered in the names of persons other
than the Depositary or its nominee unless (i) the Depositary notifies the
Administrative Trustees and Property 
Trustee in writing that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a
depositary for such Global Preferred Securities and the Depositor is unable to
locate a qualified successor depositary, (ii) the Depositor executes and
delivers to the Administrative Trustees and Property Trustee a written order
stating that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the
Depositary or (iii) there shall have occurred and be continuing a
Debenture Event of Default.

 

(c)            If
a Preferred Security is to be exchanged in whole or in part for a beneficial
interest in a Global Preferred Security, then either (i) such Global
Preferred Security shall be so surrendered for exchange or cancellation as
provided in this Article V or (ii) the Liquidation Amount thereof
shall be reduced or increased by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be
so exchanged or canceled, or equal to the Liquidation Amount of such other Preferred
Securities to be so exchanged for a beneficial interest therein, as the case
may be, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the
Securities Registrar, whereupon the Property Trustee, in accordance with the rules and
procedures of the Depositary for such Global Preferred Security (the “Applicable
Procedures”), shall instruct the Clearing Agency or its authorized
representative to make a corresponding adjustment to its records.  Upon any such surrender or adjustment of a
Global Preferred Security by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration
instructions, the Administrative Trustees shall execute and the Property
Trustee shall, subject to Section 504(b) and as otherwise provided in
this Article V, authenticate and deliver any Preferred Securities issuable
in exchange for such Global Preferred Security (or any portion thereof) in
accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency.  The Property Trustee shall not be liable for
any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and
shall be fully protected in relying on, such instructions.

 

(d)           Every
Preferred Security executed, authenticated and delivered upon registration of
transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Preferred Security or
any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Article V or otherwise,
shall be executed, authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a
Global Preferred Security, unless such Global Preferred Security is registered
in the name of a Person other than the Clearing Agency for such Global
Preferred Security or a nominee thereof.

 

(e)            The
Clearing Agency or its nominee, as the registered owner of a Global Preferred
Security, shall be considered the Holder of the Preferred Securities
represented by such Global Preferred Security for all purposes under this Trust
Agreement and the Preferred Securities, and owners of beneficial interests in
such Global Preferred Security shall hold such interests pursuant to the
Applicable Procedures and, except as otherwise provided herein, shall not be
entitled to receive physical delivery of any such Preferred Securities in
definitive form 

 

21

 

and shall not be considered the Holders thereof under this Trust
Agreement.  Accordingly, any such owner’s
beneficial interest in the Global Preferred Securities shall be shown only on,
and the transfer of such interest shall be effected only through, records
maintained by the Clearing Agency or its nominee.  Neither the Property Trustee, the Securities
Registrar nor the Depositor shall have any liability in respect of any
transfers effected by the Clearing Agency.

 

(f)            The
rights of owners of beneficial interests in a Global Preferred Security 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.

 

(g)           Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Trust Agreement, so long as any Preferred Security
is a Global Preferred Security, the parties to this Trust Agreement will be
bound at all times by the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary with respect
to such Global Preferred Security.

 

Section 504          Registration of Transfer
and Exchange of the Preferred Securities Certificates.

 

(a)           The Depositor shall
keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 508,
a register or registers for the purpose of registering the Trust Securities
Certificates and, subject to the provisions of Section 503A, transfers and
exchanges of the Preferred Securities Certificates (herein referred to as the “Securities
Register”) in which the registrar designated by the Depositor (the “Securities
Registrar”), subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, shall
provide for the registration of the Preferred Securities Certificates and the
Common Securities Certificates (subject to Section 510 in the case of the
Common Securities Certificates) and registration of transfers and exchanges of
the Preferred Securities Certificates as herein provided. The Property Trustee
shall be the initial Securities Registrar.

 

(b)           Subject to the
provisions of Section 503A, upon surrender for registration of transfer of
any Preferred Securities Certificate at the office or agency maintained
pursuant to Section 508, the Administrative Trustees or any one of them
shall execute in accordance with Section 502 and the Property Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, one or more new Preferred Securities Certificates in authorized
denominations of a like aggregate Liquidation Amount dated the date of
authentication. The Securities Registrar shall not be required to register the
transfer of any of the Preferred Securities that have been called for
redemption. At the option of a Holder, the Preferred Securities Certificates
may be exchanged for other Preferred Securities Certificates in authorized
denominations of the same class and of a like aggregate Liquidation Amount upon
surrender of the Preferred Securities Certificates to be exchanged at the
office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 508.

 

(c)           Every Preferred
Securities Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange, subject to the provisions of Section 503A, shall be accompanied
by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Property
Trustee and the Securities Registrar duly executed by the Holder or his
attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Preferred Securities Certificate
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be 

 

22

 

canceled and subsequently
disposed of by the Property Trustee in accordance with its customary practice.
The Trust shall not be required to (i) issue, register the transfer of, or
exchange any of the Preferred Securities during a period beginning at the
opening of business 15 calendar days before the date of mailing of a notice of
redemption of any of the Preferred Securities called for redemption and ending
at the close of business on the day of such mailing; or (ii) register the
transfer of or exchange any of the Preferred Securities so selected for
redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any such
Preferred Securities being redeemed in part.

 

(d)           No service charge shall
be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Preferred Securities
Certificates, subject to the provisions of Section 503A, 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 the Preferred Securities Certificates.

 

(e)           Preferred Securities
may only be transferred, in whole or in part, in accordance with the terms and
conditions set forth in this Trust Agreement. 
Any transfer or purported transfer of any Preferred Security not made in
accordance with this Trust Agreement shall be null and void.  A Preferred Security that is not a Global
Preferred Security may be transferred, in whole or in part, to a Person who
takes delivery in the form of another Preferred Security that is not a Global
Preferred Security as provided in this Section 504.  A beneficial interest in a Global Preferred
Security may be exchanged for a Preferred Security that is not a Global
Preferred Security only as provided in Section 503A.

 

Section 505          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, the Property Trustee 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 Trust shall
execute and make available for delivery, and the Property Trustee shall
authenticate if necessary, 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 505,
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 505 shall constitute conclusive evidence
of an undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the Trust, as if
originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Trust
Securities Certificate shall be found at any time.

 

Section 506          Persons Deemed the
Securityholders.  The Trustees, the
Paying Agent and the Securities Registrar shall 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 neither the Trustees
nor the Securities Registrar shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.

 

23

 

Section 507          Access to List of the
Securityholders’ Names and Addresses. 
At any time when the Property Trustee is not also acting as the
Securities Registrar, the Administrative Trustees or the Depositor shall
furnish or cause to be furnished to the Property Trustee (a) within five
Business Days of March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15
in each year, a list, in such form as the Property Trustee may reasonably
require, of the names and addresses of the Securityholders as of the most
recent record date; and (b) promptly after receipt by any Administrative
Trustee or the Depositor of a request therefor from the Property Trustee in
order to enable the Property Trustee to discharge its obligations under this
Trust Agreement, in each case to the extent such information is in the
possession or control of the Administrative Trustees or the Depositor and is
not identical to a previously supplied list or has not otherwise been received
by the Property Trustee in its capacity as Securities Registrar. The rights of
the Securityholders to communicate with other Securityholders with respect to
their rights under this Trust Agreement or under the Trust Securities, and the
corresponding rights of the Trustees shall be as provided in the Trust
Indenture Act. Each Holder, by receiving and holding a Trust Securities
Certificate, and each owner shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold the
Depositor, the Property 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.

 

Section 508          Maintenance of Office or
Agency.  The Administrative Trustees
shall maintain in a location or locations designated by the Administrative
Trustees, an office or offices or agency or agencies where the Preferred
Securities Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Trustees in respect of
the Trust Securities Certificates may be served. The Administrative Trustees
initially designate the Corporate Trust Office of the Property Trustee,
Wilmington Trust Company, as the principal corporate trust office for such
purposes. The Administrative Trustees shall give prompt written notice to the
Depositor and to the Securityholders of any change in the location of the
Securities Register or any such office or agency.

 

Section 509          Appointment of the
Paying Agent.  The Property Trustee
shall initially serve as the Paying Agent, and any co-paying agent chosen by
the Property Trustee must be acceptable to the Administrative Trustees and the
Depositor. The Paying Agent shall make Distributions to the Securityholders
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 for the purpose
of making the Distributions referred to above. The Administrative Trustees may
revoke such power and remove the Paying Agent if such Trustees determine in
their sole discretion that the Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its
obligations under this Trust Agreement in any material respect. Any Person
acting as Paying Agent shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent upon thirty
(30) days’ written notice to the Administrative Trustees, the Property Trustee
and the Depositor. In the event that the Property Trustee 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 acceptable to the Property Trustee
and the Depositor to act as the Paying Agent. The Administrative Trustees shall
cause such successor Paying Agent or any additional Paying Agent appointed by
the Administrative Trustees to execute and deliver to the Trustees an
instrument in which such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent
shall agree with the Trustees that as Paying Agent, such successor Paying Agent
or additional Paying Agent shall hold all sums, if any, held 

 

24

 

by it for payment to the
Securityholders in trust for the benefit of the Securityholders entitled
thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Securityholders. 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 801, 803 and 806 shall
apply to the Property Trustee also in its role as the Paying Agent, for so long
as the Property Trustee shall act as Paying Agent and, to the extent
applicable, to any other Paying Agent appointed hereunder. Any reference in
this Trust Agreement to the Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent
unless the context requires otherwise.

 

Section 510          Ownership of the Common
Securities by the Depositor.  On the
Closing Date, the Depositor shall acquire and retain beneficial and record
ownership of the Common Securities. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any
attempted transfer of the Common Securities (other than a transfer in
connection with a merger or consolidation of the Depositor into another
corporation pursuant to Section 12.1 of the Indenture) shall be void. The
Administrative Trustees shall cause each Common Securities Certificate issued
to the Depositor to contain a legend stating “THIS CERTIFICATE IS NOT
TRANSFERABLE EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 510 OF THE TRUST AGREEMENT”.

 

Section 511          The Trust Securities
Certificates.

 

(a)           Upon the issuance of
the Preferred Securities Certificates, the Trustees shall recognize the record
holders of the Preferred Securities Certificates as the Securityholders. The
Preferred Securities Certificates shall be issued in the form of one or more
fully registered Global Preferred Securities Certificates which will be
deposited with or on behalf of the Clearing Agency and registered in the name
of the Clearing Agency’s nominee.  Unless
and until it is exchangeable in whole or in part for the Preferred Securities
in definitive form, a global security may not be transferred except as a whole
by the Clearing Agency to a nominee of the Clearing Agency or by a nominee of
the Clearing Agency to the Clearing Agency or another nominee of the Clearing
Agency or by the Clearing Agency or any such nominee to a successor of such
Clearing Agency or a nominee of such successor.

 

(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 512          [Reserved].

 

Section 513          Notices.  To the extent that a notice or other
communication to the Holders is required under this Trust Agreement, for so
long as Preferred Securities are represented by a Global Preferred Securities
Certificate, the Trustees shall give all such notices and communications
specified herein to be given to the Clearing Agency, and shall have no
obligation to provide notice to the owners of the beneficial interest in the
Global Preferred Securities.

 

Section 514          Rights of the
Securityholders.

 

(a)           The legal title to the
Trust Property is vested exclusively in the Property Trustee (in its capacity
as such) in accordance with Section 209, and the Securityholders shall 

 

25

 

not have any right or
title therein other than the undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the
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 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.
When issued and delivered to Holders of the Preferred Securities against payment
of the purchase price therefor, the Preferred Securities shall be fully paid
and, subject to the provisions of this Trust Agreement and to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, nonassessable interests in the Trust. The
Holders of the Preferred 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 of
the Preferred Securities remain Outstanding, if, upon a Debenture Event of
Default, the Debenture Trustee fails or the holders of not less than
twenty-five percent (25%) in principal amount of the outstanding Debentures
fail to declare the principal of all of the Debentures to be immediately due
and payable, the Holders of at least twenty-five percent (25%) in Liquidation
Amount of the Preferred Securities then Outstanding shall have such right by a
notice in writing to the Depositor and the Debenture Trustee; and upon any such
declaration such principal amount of and the accrued interest on all of the
Debentures shall become immediately due and payable, provided that the payment
of principal and interest on such Debentures shall remain subordinated to the
extent provided in the Indenture.

 

(c)           For so long as any of
the Preferred Securities remain Outstanding, upon a Debenture Event of Default
arising from the failure to pay interest or principal on the Debentures, the
Holders of any of the Preferred Securities then Outstanding shall, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, have the right to directly institute
proceedings for enforcement of payment to such Holders of principal of or
interest on the Debentures having a principal amount equal to the Liquidation
Amount of the Preferred Securities of such Holders.

ACTS OF THE SECURITYHOLDERS; MEETINGS; VOTING

 

Section 601          Limitations on Voting
Rights.

 

(a)           Except as provided in
this Section 601, in Sections 514, 810 and 1002 and in the Indenture and
as otherwise set forth in the Guarantee or required by law, no record Holder of
Preferred Securities shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise
control the administration, operation and management of the 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 Securityholders 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 Trust, the Trustees shall
not (i) direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for
any remedy available to the Debenture Trustee, or executing any trust or power
conferred on the Debenture Trustee with respect to such Debentures; (ii) waive
any past default which is waivable under Article VII of the Indenture; (iii) exercise
any right to rescind or annul a 

 

26

 

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 not less than a majority in Liquidation Amount
of all the Outstanding Preferred Securities; provided, however, that where a
consent under the Indenture would require the consent of each holder of
outstanding Debentures affected thereby, no such consent shall be given by the
Property Trustee without the prior written consent of each holder of the
Preferred Securities. The Trustees shall not revoke any action previously
authorized or approved by a vote of the Holders of the Outstanding Preferred
Securities, except when authorized by a subsequent vote of the Holders of the
Outstanding Preferred Securities. The Property Trustee shall notify each holder
of the Outstanding Preferred Securities of any notice of default received from
the Debenture Trustee with respect to the Debentures. In addition to obtaining
the foregoing approvals of the Holders of the Preferred Securities, prior to
taking any of the foregoing actions, the Trustees shall, at the expense of the
Depositor, obtain an Opinion of Counsel experienced in such matters to the
effect that the Trust shall continue to be classified as a grantor trust and
not as an association taxable as a corporation for United States federal income
tax purposes on account of such action.

 

(c)           If any proposed
amendment to the Trust Agreement provides for, or the Trustees otherwise
propose to effect, (i) any action that would adversely affect in any
material respect the powers, preferences or special rights of the holders of
the Preferred Securities, whether by way of amendment to the Trust Agreement or
otherwise; or (ii) the dissolution, winding-up or termination of the
Trust, other than pursuant to the terms of this Trust Agreement, then the
Holders of the Outstanding Preferred Securities as a class shall 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 Outstanding Preferred Securities. No amendment to
this Trust Agreement may be made if, as a result of such amendment, the Trust
would cease to be classified as a grantor trust or would be classified as an
association taxable as a corporation for United States federal income tax
purposes.

 

Section 602          Notice of Meetings.  Notice of all meetings of the Preferred
Securityholders, stating the time, place and purpose of the meeting, shall be
given by the Property Trustee pursuant to Section 1008 to each Preferred
Securityholder of record, at his or her registered address, at least fifteen
(15) days and not more than ninety (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.

 

Section 603          Meetings of the
Preferred Securityholders.

 

(a)           No annual meeting of
the Securityholders is required to be held. The Administrative Trustees,
however, shall call a meeting of the Securityholders to vote on any matter in
respect of which the Preferred Securityholders are entitled to vote upon the
written request of the Preferred Securityholders of twenty-five percent (25%)
of the Outstanding Preferred Securities (based upon their aggregate Liquidation
Amount) and the Administrative Trustees or the Property Trustee may, at any
time in their discretion, call a meeting of the 

 

27

 

Preferred Securityholders
to vote on any matters as to which the Preferred Securityholders are entitled to
vote.

 

(b)           The Preferred
Securityholders of record of fifty percent (50%) of the Outstanding Preferred
Securities (based upon their aggregate Liquidation Amount), present in person
or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of the Securityholders.

 

(c)           If a quorum is present
at a meeting, an affirmative vote by the Preferred Securityholders of record
present, in person or by proxy, holding more than a majority of the Preferred
Securities (based upon their aggregate Liquidation Amount) held by the
Preferred Securityholders of record present, either in person or by proxy, at
such meeting shall constitute the action of the Securityholders, unless this
Trust Agreement requires a different number of affirmative votes.

 

Section 604          Voting Rights.  The Securityholders shall be entitled to one
vote for each dollar value of Liquidation Amount represented by their Trust
Securities (with any fractional multiple thereof rounded up or down as the case
may be to the closest integral multiple) in respect of any matter as to which
such Securityholders are entitled to vote (and such dollar value shall be $10
per Preferred Security until such time, if any, as the Liquidation Amount is
changed as provided herein).

 

Section 605          Proxies, Etc.  At any meeting of the Securityholders, any
Securityholder 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 Administrative Trustees, or with such other officer or agent of the
Trust as the Administrative Trustees may direct, for verification prior to the
time at which such vote shall be taken. Only Holders 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 Securityholder 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 606          Securityholder Action by
Written Consent.  Any action which
may be taken by the Securityholders at a meeting may be taken without a meeting
if the Securityholders holding more than a majority of all of the Outstanding
Trust Securities (based upon their aggregate Liquidation Amount) entitled to
vote in respect of such action (or such larger proportion thereof as shall be
required by any express provision of this Trust Agreement) shall consent to the
action in writing.

 

Section 607          Record Date for Voting
and Other Purposes.  For the purposes
of determining the Securityholders who are entitled to notice of and to vote at
any meeting or by written consent, or to participate in any Distribution on the
Trust Securities in respect of which a record date is not otherwise provided
for in this Trust Agreement, or for the purpose of any other action, the
Administrative Trustees or the Property Trustee may from time to time fix a
date, not more than 90 days prior to the date of any meeting of the
Securityholders or the payment of 

 

28

 

Distribution or other
action, as the case may be, as a record date for the determination of the
identity of the Securityholders of record for such purposes.

 

Section 608          Acts of the
Securityholders.

 

(a)           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 the
Securityholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of
substantially similar tenor signed by such Securityholders 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 an Administrative Trustee. Such instrument or instruments (and
the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes
referred to as the “Act” of the Securityholders 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 801) conclusive in favor of the
Trustees, if made in the manner provided in this Section 608.

 

(b)           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 or her the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting
in a capacity other than his or her individual capacity, such certificate or
affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his or her 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 which any Trustee receiving the same deems sufficient.

 

(c)           The ownership of the
Preferred Securities shall be proved by the Securities Register.

 

(d)           Any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Securityholder
of any Trust Security shall bind every future Securityholder of the same Trust
Security and the Securityholder 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 Trustees or the
Trust in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon
such Trust Security.

 

(e)           Without limiting the
foregoing, a Securityholder 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.

 

(f)            A Securityholder may
institute a legal proceeding directly against the Depositor under the Guarantee
to enforce its rights under the Guarantee without first instituting a legal
proceeding against the Guarantee Trustee (as defined in the Guarantee), the
Trust or any Person.

 

29

 

Section 609          Inspection
of Records.  Upon reasonable
notice to the Administrative Trustees and the Property Trustee, the records of
the Trust shall be open to inspection at the principal executive office of the
Trustee (as indicated in Section 202) to Holders of the Trust Securities
during normal business hours for any purpose reasonably related to such
Securityholder’s interest as a Securityholder.

ARTICLE

TRUSTEES

 

Section 801          Certain
Duties and Responsibilities.

 

(a)           The duties and
responsibilities of the Trustees shall be as provided by this Trust Agreement
and, in the case of the Property Trustee, by the Trust Indenture Act.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Trust Agreement shall
require the Trustees to expend or risk their own funds or otherwise incur any
financial liability in the performance of any of their duties hereunder, or in
the exercise of any of their rights or powers, if 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. No
Administrative Trustee nor the Delaware Trustee shall be liable for its act or
omissions hereunder except as a result of its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct. The Property Trustee’s liability shall be determined under the
Trust Indenture Act. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every
provision of this Trust 

 

32

 

Agreement relating to the
conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustees
shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 801. To the extent
that, at law or in equity, the Delaware Trustee or an Administrative Trustee
has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the
Trust or to the Securityholders, the Delaware Trustee or such Administrative
Trustee shall not be liable to the Trust or to any Securityholder for such
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 Delaware Trustee or the Administrative Trustees
otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Depositor and the
Securityholders to replace such other duties and liabilities of the Delaware
Trustee and the Administrative Trustees, as the case may be.

 

(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 Securityholder, by its acceptance of a
Trust Security, agrees that it shall look solely to the revenue and proceeds
from the Trust Property to the extent legally available for distribution to it
as herein provided and that the Trustees are not personally liable to it for
any amount distributable in respect of any Trust Security or for any other
liability in respect of any Trust Security. This Section 801(b) does
not limit the liability of the Trustees expressly set forth elsewhere in this
Trust Agreement or, in the case of the Property Trustee, in the Trust Indenture
Act.

 

(c)           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)            the Property Trustee
shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by an
authorized officer of the Property Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the
Property Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

 

(ii)           the Property Trustee
shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by
it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of not less
than a majority in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities relating to the
time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to
the Property Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the
Property Trustee under this Trust Agreement;

 

(iii)          the Property Trustee’s
sole duty with respect to the custody, safe keeping and physical preservation
of the Debentures and the Payment Account shall be to deal with such property
in a similar manner as the Property Trustee deals with similar property for its
own account, subject to the protections and limitations on liability afforded
to the Property Trustee under this 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 with the Depositor and money held by the Property Trustee
need not be segregated from other funds held by it except in 

 

33

 

relation to the Payment Account maintained by the
Property Trustee pursuant to Section 301 and except to the extent
otherwise required by law; and

 

(v)           the Property Trustee
shall not be responsible for monitoring the compliance by the Administrative
Trustees or the Depositor with their respective duties under this Trust
Agreement, nor shall the Property Trustee be liable for the negligence, default
or misconduct of the Administrative Trustees or the Depositor.

Responsible Officer (as defined in the Indenture) of the Property Trustee, the
Property Trustee shall transmit, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 1008,
notice of such Event of Default to the Securityholders, the Administrative
Trustees and the Depositor, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured
or waived. For purposes of this Section 802, the term “Event of Default”

Section 803          Certain
Rights of the Property Trustee. 
Subject to the provisions of Section 801:

 

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

 

(b)           if (i) in
performing its duties under this Trust Agreement the Property Trustee is
required to decide between alternative courses of action; or (ii) in
construing any of the provisions of this Trust Agreement, the Property Trustee
finds the same ambiguous or inconsistent with other provisions contained
herein; or (iii) the Property Trustee is unsure of the application of any
provision of this Trust Agreement, then, except as to any matter as to which
the Preferred Securityholders are entitled to vote under the terms of this
Trust Agreement, the Property Trustee shall deliver a notice to the Depositor
requesting written instructions of the Depositor as to the course of action to
be taken and the Property Trustee shall take such action, or refrain from
taking such action, as the Property Trustee shall be instructed in writing to
take, or to refrain from taking, by the Depositor; provided, however, that if
the Property Trustee does not receive such instructions of the Depositor within
ten (10) Business Days after it has delivered such notice, or such
reasonably shorter period of time set forth in such notice (which to the 

 

34

 

extent practicable shall
not be less than two (2) Business Days), it may, but shall be under no
duty to, take or refrain from taking such action not inconsistent with this
Trust Agreement as it shall deem advisable and in the best interests of the
Securityholders, in which event the Property Trustee shall have no liability
except for its own bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct;

 

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

 

(d)           whenever in the
administration of this Trust Agreement, the Property Trustee shall deem it
desirable that a matter be established before undertaking, suffering or
omitting any action hereunder, the Property Trustee (unless other evidence is
herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part,
request and conclusively rely upon an Officers’ Certificate which, upon receipt
of such request, shall be promptly delivered by the Depositor or the
Administrative Trustees;

 

(e)           the Property Trustee
shall have no duty to see to any recording, filing or registration of any
instrument (including any financing or continuation statement or, except as
provided in Section 405, any filing under tax or securities laws) or any
re-recording, refiling or reregistration thereof;

 

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

 

(g)           the Property Trustee
shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in
it by this Trust Agreement at the request, order or direction of any of the
Securityholders, pursuant to this Trust Agreement, unless such Securityholders
shall have offered to the Property Trustee reasonable security or indemnity
against the costs, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred by it in
compliance with such request, order or direction; nothing contained herein shall,
however, relieve the Property Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of
an Event of Default (that has not been cured or waived) to exercise such of the
rights and powers vested in it by this Trust Agreement, and to use the same
degree of care and skill in its exercise thereof, as a prudent man would
exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs;

 

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

 

35

 

(i)            the Property Trustee
may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties
hereunder either directly or by or through its agents or attorneys, provided
that the Property Trustee shall be responsible for its own negligence or
recklessness with respect to selection of any agent or attorney appointed by it
hereunder;

 

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

 

(k)           except as otherwise
expressly provided by this Trust Agreement, the Property Trustee shall not be
under any obligation to take any action that is discretionary under the
provisions of this Trust Agreement. No provision of this Trust Agreement shall
be deemed to impose any duty or obligation on the Property Trustee to perform
any act or acts or exercise any right, power, duty or obligation conferred or
imposed on it, in any jurisdiction in which it shall be illegal, or in which
the Property Trustee shall be unqualified or incompetent in accordance with
applicable law, to perform any such act or acts, or to exercise any such right,
power, duty or obligation. No permissive power or authority available to the
Property Trustee shall be construed to be a duty.

 

Section 804          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 Trust,
and the Trustees do not assume any responsibility for their correctness. The
Trustees shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor
of the proceeds of the Debentures.

 

Section 805          May Hold
Securities.  Any Trustee or
any other agent of any Trustee or the Trust, in its individual or any other
capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of the Trust Securities and, subject
to Sections 808 and 813 and except as provided in the definition of the term “Outstanding”
in Article I, may otherwise deal with the Trust with the same rights it
would have if it were not a Trustee or such other agent.

 

Section 806          Compensation;
Indemnity; Fees.  The
Depositor agrees:

 

(a)           to pay to the Trustees
from time to time reasonable compensation for all services rendered by them
hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in
regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust, in the case of the
Property Trustee as set forth in a written agreement between the Depositor and
the Property Trustee);

 

(b)           except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustees upon request for all
reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the
Trustees in accordance with any provision of this Trust Agreement (including
the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents
and counsel), except any such 

 

36

 

expense, disbursement or
advance as may be attributable to such Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct (or, in the case of the Administrative Trustees or the
Delaware Trustee, any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be
attributable to its, his or her gross negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct); and

 

(c)           to indemnify each of
the Trustees or any predecessor Trustee for, and to hold the Trustees harmless
against, any loss, damage, claims, liability, penalty or expense incurred
without negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on its part, arising out of
or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Trust Agreement,
including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or
liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers
or duties hereunder, except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be
attributable to such Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (or,
in the case of the Administrative Trustees or the Delaware Trustee, any such
expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its, his or her
gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct).

 

No
Trustee may claim any Lien or charge on any Trust
Property as a result of any amount due pursuant to this Section 806.

 

The provisions of this Section 806 shall survive the termination
of this Trust Agreement and the removal or resignation of any Trustee.

 

Section 807          Corporate
Property Trustee Required; Eligibility of 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 eligible pursuant to the Trust
Indenture Act to act as such and 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 807, 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 807, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
hereinafter specified in this Article VIII.  The Property Trustee and the Delaware Trustee
may, but need not be, the same person.

 

(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 that shall act through one or
more persons authorized to bind such entity.

 

37

 

Section 808          Conflicting
Interests.  If the Property
Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the
Trust Indenture Act, the Property Trustee shall either eliminate such interest
or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the
provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Trust Agreement.

 

Section 809          Co-Trustees
and Separate Trustee.

 

(a)           Unless 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 Depositor shall have power to appoint, and upon the written
request of the Property Trustee, the Depositor 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, one or more Persons approved by
the Property Trustee 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 809.
If the Depositor does not join in such appointment within 15 days after the
receipt by it of a request so to do, or in case a Debenture Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, the Property Trustee alone shall have power to
make such appointment. Any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed pursuant to
this Section 809 shall either be (i) a natural person who is at least
21 years of age and a resident of the United States; or (ii) a legal entity
with its principal place of business in the United States that shall act
through one or more persons authorized to bind such entity.

 

(b)           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.

 

(c)           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:

 

(i)            The Trust Securities
shall be executed and delivered 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 Trustees
specified hereunder, shall be exercised, solely by such Trustees and not by
such co-trustee or separate trustee.

 

(ii)           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 

 

38

 

perform such act, in which event such rights, powers,
duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such co-trustee or
separate trustee.

 

(iii)          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 809, and, in
case a Debenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Property
Trustee shall have the 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 resigned or removed may be
appointed in the manner provided in this Section 809.

 

(iv)          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.

 

(v)           The Property Trustee
shall not be liable by reason of any act of a co-trustee or separate trustee.

 

(vi)          Any Act of the Holders
delivered to the Property Trustee shall be deemed to have been delivered to
each such co-trustee and separate trustee.

 

Section 810          Resignation
and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

 

(a)           No resignation or
removal of any Trustee (the “Relevant Trustee”) and no appointment of a
successor Trustee pursuant to this Article VIII shall become effective
until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with
the applicable requirements of Section 811.

 

(b)           Subject to the
immediately preceding paragraph, the Relevant Trustee may resign at any time
with respect to the Trust Securities by giving written notice thereof to the
Securityholders. If the instrument of acceptance by the successor Trustee
required by Section 811 shall not have been delivered to the Relevant
Trustee within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice of resignation,
the Relevant Trustee may petition, at the expense of the Depositor, any court
of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with
respect to the Trust Securities.

 

(c)           Unless a Debenture
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any Trustee may be
removed at any time by an Act of the Common Securityholder. If 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 such time by an Act of
the Holders of not less than a majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred
Securities, delivered to the Relevant Trustee (in its individual capacity and
on behalf of the Trust). An Administrative Trustee may be removed by the Common
Securityholder at any time.

 

39

 

(d)           If any Trustee shall resign, be
removed or become incapable of acting as Trustee, or if a vacancy shall occur
in the office of any Trustee for any cause, at a time when no Debenture Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Common Securityholder, by
an Act of the Common Securityholder delivered to the retiring Trustee, shall
promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Trust
Securities and the Trust, and the successor Trustee shall comply with the
applicable requirements of Section 811. If the Property Trustee or the
Delaware Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of continuing to
act as the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, at a
time when a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing,
the Preferred Securityholders, by an Act of the Securityholders of not less
than a majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities then
Outstanding delivered to the retiring Relevant Trustee, shall promptly appoint
a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Trust Securities and the
Trust, and such successor Trustee shall comply with the applicable requirements
of Section 811. If an Administrative Trustee shall resign, be removed or
become incapable of acting as an Administrative Trustee, at a time when a
Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Common
Securityholder, by an Act of the Common Securityholder delivered to an
Administrative Trustee, shall promptly appoint a successor Administrative
Trustee or Administrative Trustees with respect to the Trust Securities and the
Trust, and such successor Administrative Trustee or Administrative Trustees
shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 811. If no
successor Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities shall have been so
appointed by the Common Securityholder or the Preferred Securityholders and
accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 811, any
Securityholder who has been a Securityholder of Trust Securities for six
consecutive months on behalf of himself or herself and all others similarly
situated may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of
a successor Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities.

 

(e)           The Property Trustee shall give
notice of each resignation and each removal of a Trustee and each appointment
of a successor Trustee to all the Securityholders in the manner provided in Section 1008
and shall give notice to the Depositor. Each notice shall include the name of
the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office if it is
the Property Trustee.

 

(f)            Notwithstanding the foregoing or any
other provision of this Trust Agreement, in the event any Administrative
Trustee or a Delaware Trustee who is a natural person dies or becomes, in the
opinion of the Depositor, incompetent or incapacitated, the vacancy created by
such death, incompetence or incapacity may be filled by (a) the unanimous
act of the remaining Administrative Trustees if there are at least two of them;
or (b) otherwise by the Depositor (with the successor in each case being a
Person who satisfies the eligibility requirement for Administrative Trustees
set forth in Section 807).

 

Section 811          Acceptance of Appointment by
Successor.

 

(a)           In case of the appointment hereunder
of a successor Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities and the Trust, the
retiring Relevant Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Trust
Securities shall execute and deliver an instrument hereto wherein each
successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which shall contain such
provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and
to vest in, each successor Trustee all the 

 

40

 

rights, powers, trusts
and duties of the retiring Relevant Trustee with respect to the Trust
Securities and the Trust and upon the execution and delivery of such instrument
the resignation or removal of the retiring Relevant Trustee shall become effective
to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any
further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights,
powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Relevant Trustee with respect to the
Trust Securities and the Trust; but, on request of the Trust or any successor
Trustee such retiring Relevant Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver
to such successor Trustee all the Trust Property, all proceeds thereof and
money held by such retiring Relevant Trustee hereunder with respect to the
Trust Securities and the Trust.

 

(b)           Upon request of any such successor
Trustee, the Trust shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and
certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights,
powers and trusts referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph, as the
case may be.

 

(c)           No successor Trustee shall accept its
appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall
be qualified and eligible under this Article VIII.

 

Section 812          Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or
Succession to Business. 
Any Person into which the Property Trustee, the Delaware Trustee or any
Administrative 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 Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation
succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of such
Trustee, shall be the successor of such Trustee hereunder, provided 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.

 

Section 813          Preferential Collection of Claims
Against the Depositor or the Trust.  If and when the Property Trustee or the
Delaware Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Depositor or the Trust
(or any other obligor upon the Debentures or the Trust Securities), the
Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, shall be subject
to and shall take all actions necessary in order to comply with the provisions
of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the
Depositor or the Trust (or any such other obligor).

 

Section 814          Reports by the Property Trustee.

 

(a)           The Property Trustee shall transmit
to the Securityholders such reports concerning the Property Trustee, its
actions under this Trust Agreement and the property and funds in its possession
in its capacity as the Property Trustee as may be required pursuant to the
Trust Indenture Act at the times and in the manner provided pursuant thereto.

 

(b)           A copy of each such report shall, at
the time of such transmission to the Holders, be filed by the Property Trustee
with the NASDAQ Global Select Market, and each national securities exchange or
other organization upon which the Trust Securities are listed, and also with
the Commission and the Depositor.

 

Section 815          Reports to the Property Trustee.  The Depositor and the Administrative Trustees
on behalf of the Trust shall provide to the Property Trustee such documents,
reports and 

 

41

 

information as required
by Section 314 of the Trust Indenture Act (if any) and the compliance
certificate required by Section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act in
the form, in the manner and at the times required by Section 314 of the
Trust Indenture Act.

 

Section 816          Evidence of Compliance with Conditions
Precedent.  Each of the
Depositor and the Administrative Trustees on behalf of the Trust shall provide
to the Property Trustee such evidence of compliance with any conditions
precedent, if any, provided for in this Trust Agreement that relate to any of
the matters set forth in Section 314(c) of the Trust Indenture Act.
Any certificate or opinion required to be given by an officer pursuant to Section 314(c)(1) of
the Trust Indenture Act shall be given in the form of an Officers’ Certificate.

 

Section 817          Number of Trustees.

 

(a)           The number of Trustees shall be five,
provided that the Holder of all of the Common Securities by written instrument
may increase or decrease the number of the Administrative Trustees. The
Property Trustee and the Delaware Trustee may be the same Person.

 

(b)           If a Trustee ceases to hold office
for any reason and the number of the Administrative Trustees is not reduced
pursuant to Section 817(a), or if the number of the Trustees is increased
pursuant to Section 817(a), a vacancy shall occur. The vacancy shall be
filled with a Trustee appointed in accordance with Section 810.

 

(c)           The death, resignation, retirement,
removal, bankruptcy, incompetence or incapacity to perform the duties of a
Trustee shall not operate to annul the Trust. Whenever a vacancy in the number
of the Administrative Trustees shall occur, until such vacancy is filled by the
appointment of an Administrative Trustee in accordance with Section 810,
the Administrative Trustees in office, regardless of their number (and
notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement), shall have all the
powers granted to the Administrative Trustees and shall discharge all the
duties imposed upon the Administrative Trustees by this Trust Agreement.

 

Section 818          Delegation of Power.

 

(a)           Any Administrative Trustee may, by
power of attorney consistent with applicable law, delegate to any other natural
person over the age of 21 his or her power for the purpose of executing any
documents contemplated in Section 207(a); and

 

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

 

Section 819          Voting.  Except as otherwise provided in this Trust
Agreement, the consent or approval of the Administrative Trustees shall require
consent or approval by not less than a majority of the Administrative Trustees,

cancellation, the Trust, this Trust Agreement (other than provisions, including
Section 806, which by their terms survive), and the respective obligations
and responsibilities of the Trustees shall terminate.

 

Section 904          Liquidation.

 

(a)           If an Early Termination Event
specified in clause (a), (b), or (d) of Section 902 occurs or upon
the Expiration Date, the Trust shall be liquidated by the Trustees as
expeditiously as the Trustees determine to be possible by distributing, after
satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Trust as provided by applicable
law, to each Securityholder a Like 

 

43

 

Amount of Debentures, subject
to Section 904(d). Notice of liquidation shall be given by the Property
Trustee by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not later than thirty (30)
nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the Liquidation Date to each Holder of
Trust Securities at such Holder’s address appearing in the Securities Register.
All notices of liquidation shall:

 

(i)            state the Liquidation Date;

 

(ii)           state that from and after the
Liquidation Date, the Trust Securities shall no longer be deemed to be
Outstanding and any Trust Securities Certificates not surrendered for exchange
shall be deemed to represent a Like Amount of Debentures; and

 

(iii)          provide such information with respect
to the mechanics by which the Holders may exchange the Trust Securities
Certificates for the Debentures, or, if Section 904(d) applies,
receive a Liquidation Distribution, as the Administrative Trustees or the
Property Trustee shall deem appropriate.

 

(b)           Except where Section 902(c) or
904(d) applies, in order to effect the liquidation of the Trust and
distribution of the Debentures to the Securityholders, the Property Trustee
shall establish a record date for such distribution (which shall be not more
than 45 days prior to the Liquidation Date) and, either itself acting as
exchange agent or through the appointment of a separate exchange agent, shall
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 902(c) or
904(d) applies, after the Liquidation Date, (i) the Trust Securities
shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding; (ii) certificates
representing a Like Amount of the Debentures shall be issued to the Holders of
Trust Securities Certificates upon surrender of such certificates to the
Administrative Trustees or their agent for exchange; (iii) the Depositor
shall use its reasonable efforts to have the Debentures included in the NASDAQ
Global Select Market or on such other securities exchange or other organization
as the Preferred Securities are then listed or traded; (iv) any Trust
Securities Certificates not so surrendered for exchange shall be deemed to
represent a Like Amount of Debentures, accruing interest at the rate provided
for in the Debentures from the last Distribution Date on which a Distribution
was made on such Trust Securities Certificates until such certificates are so
surrendered (and until such certificates are so surrendered, no payments of
interest or principal shall be made to Holders of the Trust Securities
Certificates with respect to such Debentures); and (v) all rights of the
Securityholders holding the Trust Securities shall cease, except the right of
such Securityholders to receive the Debentures upon surrender of the Trust
Securities Certificates.

 

(d)           In the event that, notwithstanding
the other provisions of this Section 904, 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, the Trust Property shall be
liquidated, and the Trust shall be dissolved, wound-up and terminated, by the
Property Trustee in such manner as the Property Trustee determines. In such
event, on the date of the dissolution, winding-up or other termination of the
Trust, the Securityholders shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of
the Trust 

 

44

 

available for
distribution to the Securityholders, after satisfaction of liabilities to
creditors of the 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 dissolution, winding-up or termination, the Liquidation
Distribution can be paid only in part because the Trust has insufficient assets
available to pay in full the aggregate Liquidation Distribution, then, subject
to the next succeeding sentence, the amounts payable by the Trust on the Trust
Securities shall be paid on a pro rata basis (based upon Liquidation Amounts,
subject to Section 407). The Holder of the Common Securities shall be
entitled to receive the Liquidation Distributions upon any such dissolution,
winding-up or termination pro rata (determined as aforesaid) with the Holders
of the Preferred Securities, except that, if a Debenture Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Preferred Securities shall have a priority over
the Common Securities.

 

Section 905          Mergers, Consolidations, Amalgamations
or Replacements of the Trust. 
The 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 Person, except
pursuant to this Section 905. At the request of the Depositor, with the
consent of the Administrative Trustees and without the consent of the Holders
of the Preferred Securities, the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, the
Trust may merge with or into, consolidate, amalgamate, be replaced by or
convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an
entirety to a trust organized as such under the laws of any State; provided,
that (a) such successor entity either (i) expressly assumes all of
the obligations of the Trust with respect to the Preferred Securities; or (ii) substitutes
for the Preferred Securities other securities having substantially the same terms
as the Preferred Securities (the “Successor Securities”) so long as the
Successor Securities rank the same as the Preferred Securities rank in priority
with respect to distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption and
otherwise; (b) the Depositor expressly appoints a trustee of such
successor entity possessing substantially the same powers and duties as the
Property Trustee as the holder of the Debentures; (c) the Successor
Securities are listed or traded, or any Successor Securities shall be listed or
traded upon notification of issuance, on any national securities exchange or
other organization on which the Preferred Securities are then listed, if any; (d) such
merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease
does not adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the Holders
of the Preferred Securities (including any Successor Securities) in any
material respect; (e) such successor entity has a purpose substantially
identical to that of the Trust; (f) prior to such merger, consolidation,
amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, the Depositor has
received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (i) such merger
consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does
not adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the Holders of
the Preferred Securities (including any Successor Securities) in any material
respect; and (ii) following such merger, consolidation, amalgamation,
replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, neither the Trust nor such
successor entity shall be required to register as an “investment company” under
the Investment Company Act; and (g) the Depositor 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, the Debentures, this Trust Agreement and the Expense
Agreement. For purposes of this Section 905, any such consolidation,
merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or other disposition as a result of which (a) the
Company is not the surviving Person, and (b) the same Person is not both (i) the
primary obligor in respect of the Debentures and (ii) the 

 

45

 

Guarantor under the
Preferred Securities Guarantee shall be deemed to constitute a replacement of
the Trust by a successor entity; provided further that, notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that upon the consummation of such a consolidation, merger,
sale, conveyance, transfer or other disposition, the parent company (if any) of
the Company, or its successor, is a bank holding company or financial holding
company or comparably regulated financial institution, such parent company
shall guarantee the obligations of the Trust (and any successor thereto) under
the Preferred Securities (including any Successor Securities) at least to the
extent provided by the Guarantee, the Debentures, the Trust Agreement and the
Expense Agreement.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Trust shall not, except with the consent of the Holders of 100%
in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities, consolidate, amalgamate,
merge with or into, or be replaced by or convey, transfer or lease its
properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any other Person or
permit any other Person to consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or
replace it if such consolidation, amalgamation, merger or replacement would
cause the Trust or the successor entity to be classified as other than a
grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

 

Section 1001        Limitation of Rights of the
Securityholders.  The
death or incapacity of any Person having an interest, beneficial or otherwise,
in the Trust Securities shall not operate to terminate this Trust Agreement,
nor entitle the legal representatives or heirs of such Person or any
Securityholder for such Person to claim an accounting, take any action or bring
any proceeding in any court for a partition or winding-up of the arrangements
contemplated hereby, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and
liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them.

 

Section 1002        Amendment.

 

(a)           This Trust Agreement may be amended
from time to time by the Trustees and the Depositor, without the consent of any
Securityholders, (i) as provided in Section 811 with respect to
acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee; (ii) to cure any
ambiguity, correct or supplement any provision herein or therein which may be
inconsistent with any other provision herein or therein, or to make any other
provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Trust
Agreement, that shall not be inconsistent with the other provisions of this
Trust Agreement; (iii) to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of
this Trust Agreement to such extent as shall be necessary to ensure that the
Trust shall be classified for United States federal income tax purposes as a
grantor trust at all times that any of the Trust Securities are outstanding or
to ensure that the Trust shall not be required to register as an “investment
company” under the Investment Company Act; or (iv) to reduce or increase
the Liquidation Amount per Trust Security and simultaneously to correspondingly
increase or decrease the number of Trust Securities issued and Outstanding
solely for the purpose of maintaining the eligibility of the Preferred
Securities for quotation or listing on any national securities exchange or
other organization on which the Preferred Securities are then included, quoted
or listed (including, if applicable, the NASDAQ Global Select Market);
provided, however, that in the case of clause (ii), such action shall not
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Securityholder,
and provided further, that in the case of clause (iv) the aggregate
Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities Outstanding upon completion of any
such reduction must be the same as the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the
Trust Securities outstanding immediately prior 

 

46

 

to such reduction or
increase, and any amendments of this Trust Agreement shall become effective
when notice thereof is given to the Securityholders (or, in the case of an
amendment pursuant to clause (iv), as of the date specified in the notice).

 

(b)           Except as provided in Section 601(c) or
Section 1002(c) hereof, any provision of this Trust Agreement may be
amended by the Trustees and the Depositor (i) with the consent of the Securityholders
representing not less than a majority (based upon Liquidation Amounts) of the
Trust Securities then Outstanding; and (ii) upon receipt by the Trustees
of an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment or the exercise of
any power granted to the Trustees in accordance with such amendment shall not
affect the Trust’s status as a grantor trust for United States federal income
tax purposes or the Trust’s exemption from status of an “investment company”
under the Investment Company Act.

 

(c)           In addition to and notwithstanding
any other provision in this Trust Agreement, without the consent of each
affected Securityholder (such consent being obtained in accordance with Section 603
or 606 hereof), this Trust Agreement may not be amended to (i) change the
amount or timing of any Distribution on the Trust Securities or otherwise
adversely affect the amount of any Distribution required to be made in respect
of the Trust Securities as of a specified date; or (ii) restrict the right
of a Securityholder to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment
on or after such date; notwithstanding any other provision herein, without the
unanimous consent of the Securityholders (such consent being obtained in
accordance with Section 603 or 606 hereof), this paragraph (c) of
this Section 1002 may not be amended.

 

(d)           Notwithstanding any other provisions
of this Trust Agreement, no Trustee shall enter into or consent to any
amendment to this Trust Agreement which would cause the Trust to fail or cease to
qualify for the exemption from status of an “investment company” under the
Investment Company Act or to fail or cease to be classified as a grantor trust
for United States federal income tax purposes.

 

(e)           Notwithstanding anything in this
Trust Agreement to the contrary, without the consent of the Depositor, this
Trust Agreement may not be amended in a manner which imposes any additional
obligation on the Depositor.

 

(f)            In the event that any amendment to
this Trust Agreement is made, the Administrative Trustees shall promptly
provide to the Depositor a copy of such amendment.

 

(g)           Neither the Property Trustee nor the
Delaware Trustee shall be required to enter into any amendment to this Trust
Agreement which affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Trust
Agreement.  The Property Trustee shall be
entitled to receive an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate stating
that any amendment to this Trust Agreement has been effected in compliance with
this Trust Agreement.

 

Section 1003        Separability.  In case any provision in this Trust Agreement
or in the Trust Securities Certificates shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 

Section 1004        Governing Law.  THIS TRUST AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND
OBLIGATIONS OF EACH OF THE SECURITYHOLDERS, THE TRUST AND THE

WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE (WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS
CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES).

 

Section 1005        Payments Due on Non-Business Day.  If the date fixed for any payment on any
Trust Security shall be a day that is not a Business Day, then such payment
need not be made on such date but may be made on the next succeeding day which
is a Business Day, except that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding
calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business
Day (and without any reduction of interest or any other payment in respect of
any such acceleration), in each case with the same force and effect as though
made on the date fixed for such payment, and no distribution shall accumulate
thereon for the period after such date.

 

Section 1006        Successors.  This Trust Agreement shall be binding upon
and shall inure to the benefit of any successor to the Depositor, the Trust or
the Relevant Trustee(s), including any successor by operation of law. Except in
connection with a consolidation, merger or sale involving the Depositor that is

Section 1007        Headings.  The Article and Section headings
are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction of this Trust
Agreement.

 

Section 1008        Reports, Notices and Demands.  Any report, notice, demand or other

have, within two years preceding the giving of such notice, filed their names
and addresses with the Property Trustee for that purpose. Such notice, demand
or other communication to or upon a Securityholder shall be deemed to have been
sufficiently given or made, for all purposes, upon hand delivery, mailing or
transmission.

upon actual receipt of the writing by the Trust or the Property Trustee.

 

Section 1009        Agreement Not to Petition.  Each of the Trustees and the Depositor agrees
for the benefit of the Securityholders that, until at least one year and one
day after the Trust has been terminated in accordance with Article IX,
they shall not file, or join in the filing of, a petition against the Trust
under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law
(including, without limitation, the United States Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as
amended) (collectively, “Bankruptcy Laws”) or otherwise join in the
commencement of any proceeding against the Trust under any Bankruptcy Law. In
the event the Depositor or any of the Trustees takes action in violation of
this Section 1009, the Property Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the
Securityholders, that at the expense of the Depositor (which expense shall be
paid prior to the filing), it shall file an answer with the bankruptcy court or
otherwise properly contest the filing of such petition by the Depositor or such
Trustee against the Trust or the commencement of such action and raise the
defense that the Depositor or such Trustee has agreed in writing not to take
such action and should be stopped and precluded therefrom. The provisions of
this Section 1009 shall survive the termination of this Trust Agreement.

 

Section 1010        Trust Indenture Act; Conflict with Trust
Indenture Act.

 

(a)           This Trust Agreement is subject to
the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act that are required to be part of this

provisions.

 

(b)           The Property Trustee shall be the only
Trustee which is a trustee for the purposes of the Trust Indenture Act.

 

(c)           If any provision hereof limits,
qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof which is required to be
included in this Trust Agreement by any of the provisions of the Trust
Indenture Act, such required provision shall control. If any provision of this
Trust Agreement modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act
which may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to
apply to this Trust Agreement as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may
be.

 

(d)           The application of the Trust
Indenture Act to this Trust Agreement shall not affect the nature of the Trust
Securities as equity securities representing undivided beneficial interests in
the assets of the Trust.

 

Section 1011        Acceptance of Terms of the Trust
Agreement, the Guarantee and the Indenture.  THE RECEIPT AND ACCEPTANCE OF A TRUST
SECURITY OR ANY INTEREST THEREIN BY OR ON BEHALF OF A SECURITYHOLDER OR ANY
BENEFICIAL OWNER, WITHOUT ANY SIGNATURE OR FURTHER MANIFESTATION OF ASSENT,
SHALL CONSTITUTE THE UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE BY THE SECURITYHOLDER AND ALL
OTHERS HAVING A BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN SUCH TRUST SECURITY OF ALL THE TERMS AND
PROVISIONS OF THIS TRUST AGREEMENT AND AGREEMENT TO THE SUBORDINATION
PROVISIONS AND 

 

49

 

OTHER TERMS OF THE
GUARANTEE AND THE INDENTURE, AND SHALL CONSTITUTE THE AGREEMENT OF THE TRUST,
SUCH SECURITYHOLDER AND SUCH OTHERS THAT THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS TRUST
AGREEMENT SHALL BE BINDING, OPERATIVE AND EFFECTIVE AS BETWEEN THE TRUST AND
SUCH SECURITYHOLDER AND SUCH OTHERS.

such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Preferred Securities
Guarantee, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise thereof,
as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct
of his own affairs.

 

(d)           No
provision of this Preferred Securities Guarantee shall be construed to relieve
the Preferred Guarantee 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

Securities Guarantee, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read
into this Preferred Securities Guarantee against the Preferred Guarantee

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
Preferred Guarantee Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this
Preferred Securities Guarantee; but in the case of any such certificates or
opinions that by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished
to the Preferred Guarantee Trustee, the Preferred Guarantee Trustee shall be
under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to
the requirements of this Preferred Securities Guarantee;

 

(ii)           the
Preferred Guarantee Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made
in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Preferred Guarantee Trustee,
unless it shall be proved that the Preferred Guarantee Trustee was negligent in
ascertaining the pertinent facts upon which such judgment was made;

 

(iii)          the
Preferred Guarantee Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action
taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the

the Preferred Securities relating to the time, method and place of conducting
any proceeding for any remedy available to the Preferred Guarantee Trustee, or
exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Preferred Guarantee Trustee
under this Preferred Securities Guarantee; and

 

(iv)          no
provision of this Preferred Securities Guarantee shall require the Preferred
Guarantee 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 Preferred Guarantee 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 Preferred Securities
Guarantee or indemnity, reasonably satisfactory to the Preferred Guarantee
Trustee, against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

security and indemnity, reasonably satisfactory to the Preferred Guarantee
Trustee, against the costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses and the expenses of the Preferred Guarantee Trustee’s agents, nominees
or custodians) and liabilities that might be incurred by it in complying with
such request or direction, including such reasonable advances as may be
requested by the Preferred Guarantee Trustee; provided that, nothing contained
in this Section 3.2(a)(vi) shall be taken to relieve the Preferred
Guarantee Trustee, upon the 

 

9

 

occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, of its obligation to exercise the rights and powers vested in it by
this Preferred Securities Guarantee;

 

(vii)         the Preferred Guarantee Trustee shall
not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any
written resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other
evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Preferred
Guarantee Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or
investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit;

right or taking such other action until such instructions are received, and (C) shall
be protected in conclusively relying on or acting in accordance with such
instructions.

 

(b)           No
provision of this Preferred Securities Guarantee shall be deemed to impose any
duty or obligation on the Preferred Guarantee Trustee to perform any act or
acts or exercise any right, power, duty or obligation conferred or imposed on
it in any jurisdiction in which it shall be illegal, or in which the Preferred
Guarantee Trustee shall be unqualified or incompetent in accordance with
applicable law, to perform any such act or acts or to exercise any such right,

the Guarantee Payments (without duplication of amounts theretofore paid by the
Trust), as and when due, regardless of any defense, right of set-off or
counterclaim that the Trust may have or assert. The Guarantor’s obligation to
make a Guarantee Payment may be satisfied by direct payment of the required
amounts by the Guarantor to the Holders or by causing the Trust to pay such
amounts to the Holders.

 

Section 5.2            Waiver
of Notice and Demand.   The Guarantor hereby waives notice of
acceptance of this Preferred Securities Guarantee and of any liability to which
it applies or may apply, presentment, demand for payment, any right to require
a proceeding first against the Trust or any other Person before proceeding
against the Guarantor, protest, notice of nonpayment, notice of dishonor,
notice of redemption and all other notices and demands.

Section 5.3            Obligations
not Affected.   The obligations, covenants, agreements and
duties of the Guarantor under this Preferred Securities Guarantee shall in no
way be affected or impaired by reason of the happening from time to time of any
of the following:

 

(a)           the release or waiver, by operation
of law or otherwise, of the performance or observance by the Trust of any
express or implied agreement, covenant, term or condition relating to the
Preferred Securities to be performed or observed by the Trust;

 

(b)           the extension of time for the payment
by the Trust of all or any portion of the Distributions, Redemption Price,
Liquidation Distribution or any other sums payable under the terms of the
Preferred Securities or the extension of time for the performance of any other
obligation under, arising out of, or in connection with, the Preferred
Securities (other than an extension of time for payment of Distributions,
Redemption Price, Liquidation Distribution or other sum payable that results
from the extension of any interest payment period on the Debentures permitted
by the Indenture);

 

(c)           any failure, omission, delay or lack
of diligence on the part of the Holders to enforce, assert or exercise any
right, privilege, power or remedy conferred on the Holders pursuant to the
terms of the Preferred Securities, or any action on the part of the Trust
granting indulgence or extension of any kind;

 

(d)           the voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution, sale of any collateral, receivership, insolvency,
bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization,
arrangement, composition or readjustment of debt of, or other similar
proceedings affecting, the Trust or any of the assets of the Trust;

 

(e)           any invalidity of, or defect or
deficiency in, the Preferred Securities;

 

(f)            any failure or omission to receive
any regulatory approval or consent required in connection with the Preferred
Securities (or the common equity securities issued by the Trust), including the
failure to receive any approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System required for the redemption of the Preferred Securities;

 

(g)           the settlement or compromise of any
obligation guaranteed hereby or hereby incurred; or

 

(h)           any other circumstance whatsoever
that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a
guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 5.3 that the obligations of
the Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all
circumstances.

 

13

 

There shall be no
obligation of the Holders to give notice to, or obtain consent of, the
Guarantor with respect to the happening of any of the foregoing.

 

Section 5.4                                   Rights
of the Holders.

 

(a)           The Holders of a Majority in
Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities have the right to direct the
time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to
the Preferred Guarantee Trustee in respect of this Preferred Securities
Guarantee or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Preferred
Guarantee Trustee under this Preferred Securities Guarantee; provided, however,
that (subject to Section 3.1) the Preferred Guarantee Trustee shall have
the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Preferred Guarantee
Trustee being advised in writing by counsel determines that the action or
proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Preferred Guarantee
Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or trustees, executive
committees or a trust committee of directors or trustees and/or Responsible
Officers shall determine that the action or proceedings so directed would
involve the Preferred Guarantee Trustee in personal liability.

 

(b)           Any Holder of Preferred Securities
may institute and prosecute a legal proceeding directly against the Guarantor
to enforce its rights under this Preferred Securities Guarantee, without first
instituting a legal proceeding against the Trust, the Preferred Guarantee
Trustee or any other Person.

 

Section 5.5                                   Guarantee
of Payment.  This Preferred
Securities Guarantee creates a guarantee of payment and not of collection.

 

Section 5.6                                   Subrogation.  The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all
(if any) rights of the Holders of the Preferred Securities against the Trust in
respect of any amounts paid to such Holders by the Guarantor under this
Preferred Securities Guarantee; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not
(except to the extent required by mandatory provisions of law) be entitled to
enforce or exercise any right that it may acquire by way of subrogation or any
indemnity, reimbursement or other agreement, in all cases as a result of
payment under this Preferred Securities Guarantee, if, at the time of any such
payment, any amounts are due and unpaid under this Preferred Securities Guarantee.
If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor in violation of the preceding
sentence, the Guarantor agrees to hold such amount in trust for the Holders and
to pay over such amount to the Holders.

 

Section 5.7                                   Independent
Obligations.  The Guarantor acknowledges
that its obligations hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Trust
with respect to the Preferred Securities, and that the Guarantor shall be
liable as principal and as debtor hereunder to make Guarantee Payments pursuant
to the terms of this Preferred Securities Guarantee notwithstanding the
occurrence of any event referred to in subsections (a) through (h),
inclusive, of Section 5.3 hereof.

LIMITATION OF TRANSACTIONS; SUBORDINATION

 

Section 6.1                                   Limitation
on Transactions.  So long as any of
the Preferred Securities remain outstanding, if any of the circumstances
described in Section 5.6 of the Indenture shall have occurred, then (a) neither
the Guarantor nor any of its Subsidiaries (as defined in the Indenture) shall
declare or pay any dividend on, make any distributions with respect to, or
redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of
its capital stock (other than (i) dividends or distributions in common
stock of the Guarantor or any declaration of a non-cash dividend in connection
with the implementation of a shareholder rights plan, or the issuance of stock
under any such plan in the future, or the redemption or repurchase of any such
rights pursuant thereto, (ii) purchases of common stock of the Guarantor
related to the rights under any of the Guarantor’s benefit plans for its
directors, officers or employees, (iii) as a result of a reclassification
of its capital stock, (iv) dividends or distributions made by a Subsidiary
to the Company, or (v) dividends or distributions made by a Subsidiary to
a Subsidiary), and (b) neither the Guarantor nor any Subsidiary shall make
any payment of principal or interest on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt
securities issued by the Guarantor or any Subsidiary which rank pari passu with
or junior to the Debentures or make any guarantee payments with respect to any
guarantee by the Guarantor of any debt securities if such guarantee ranks pari
passu or junior in interest to the Debentures, other than payments under this
Preferred Securities Guarantee.

 

Section 6.2                                   Ranking.  This Preferred Securities Guarantee will
constitute an unsecured obligation of the Guarantor and will rank (a) subordinate
and junior in right of payment to all Senior Debt, Subordinated Debt and
Additional Senior Obligations (as defined in the Indenture) of the Guarantor, (b) pari
passu with any guarantee now or hereafter entered into by the Guarantor in
respect of any preferred securities or preference stock of any Affiliate of the
Guarantor and (c) senior to the most senior preferred securities or
preference stock now or hereafter issued by the Guarantor and senior to the
Guarantor’s common stock.

 

The right of the
Guarantor to participate in any distribution of assets of any of its
Subsidiaries upon any such Subsidiary’s liquidation or reorganization or
otherwise is subject to the prior claims of creditors of that Subsidiary,
except to the extent the Guarantor may itself be recognized as a creditor of
that Subsidiary.  Accordingly, the
Guarantor’s obligations under this Preferred Securities Guarantee will be
effectively subordinated to all existing and future liabilities of the
Guarantor’s Subsidiaries, and claimants should look only to the assets of the
Guarantor for payments hereunder.  This
Preferred Securities Guarantee does not limit the incurrence or issuance of
other secured or unsecured debt of the Guarantor, including Senior Debt of the
Guarantor, under any indenture that the Guarantor may enter into in the future
or otherwise.

TERMINATION

 

Section 7.1                                   Termination.  This Preferred Securities Guarantee shall
terminate upon (a) full payment of the Redemption Price of all the
Preferred Securities, (b) full payment of the 

 

15

 

amounts payable in
accordance with the Trust Agreement upon liquidation of the Trust, or (c) distribution
of the Debentures to the Holders of the Preferred Securities. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Preferred Securities Guarantee shall continue to be
effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any Holder
of Preferred Securities must restore payment of any sums paid under the
Preferred Securities or under this Preferred Securities Guarantee.

INDEMNIFICATION

 

Section 8.1                                   Exculpation.

 

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

 

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

 

Section 8.2                                   Indemnification.

 

(a)           The Guarantor agrees to indemnify
each Indemnified Person for, and to hold each Indemnified Person harmless
against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad
faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs and expenses
(including reasonable legal fees and expenses) of defending itself against, or
investigating, any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or
performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. The obligation to
indemnify as set forth in this Section 8.2 shall survive the termination
of this Preferred Securities Guarantee.

 

(b)           Promptly after receipt by an
Indemnified Person under this Section 8.2 of notice of the commencement of
any action, such Indemnified Person will, if a claim in respect thereof is to
be made against the Guarantor under this Section 8.2, notify the Guarantor
in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify 

 

16

 

the Guarantor (i) will not relieve the Guarantor
from liability under paragraph (a) above unless and to the extent
that the Guarantor did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure
results in the forfeiture by the Guarantor of substantial rights and defenses
and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the Guarantor from any
obligations to any Indemnified Person other than the indemnification obligation
provided in paragraph (a) above. 
The Guarantor shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the Guarantor’s
choice at the Guarantor’s expense to represent the Indemnified Person in any
action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the Guarantor shall
not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel
retained by the Indemnified Person or Persons except as set forth below); provided,
however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Person.  Notwithstanding the
Guarantor’s election to appoint counsel to represent the Guarantor in an
action, the Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ separate counsel
(including local counsel), and the Guarantor shall bear the reasonable fees,
costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel
chosen by the Guarantor to represent the Indemnified Person would present such counsel
with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in,
or targets of, any such action include both the Indemnified Person and the
Guarantor and the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there
may be legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified Person(s) which
are different from or additional to those available to the Guarantor, (iii) the
Guarantor shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified
Person to represent the Indemnified Person within a reasonable time after
notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the Guarantor shall
authorize the Indemnified Person to employ separate counsel at the expense of
the Guarantor.  The Guarantor will not,
without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Persons, settle or
compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending
or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which
indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the
Indemnified Persons are actual or potential parties to such claim or action)
unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release
of each Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such claim,
action, suit or proceeding.
