Date for that Interest Period. If such rate does not appear on Reuters Screen LIBOR01, One-Month
LIBOR will be determined on the basis of the rates at which deposits in U.S. dollars for a
one-month period commencing on the first day of that Interest Period and in a principal amount of
not less than $1,000,000 are offered to prime banks in the London interbank

5

 

market by four major banks in the London interbank market selected by the Calculation Agent
(after consultation with the Company), at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time on the LIBOR
Determination Date for that Interest Period. The Calculation Agent will request the principal
London office of each of such banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such

arithmetic mean (rounded upward if necessary to the nearest whole multiple of 0.00001%) of such
quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, One-Month LIBOR with respect to that

Interest Period for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks for a one-month period
commencing on the first day of that Interest Period and in a principal amount of not less than
$1,000,000. However, if fewer than three banks selected by the Calculation Agent to provide
quotations are quoting as described above, One-Month LIBOR for that Interest Period will be the
same as One-Month LIBOR as determined for the previous Interest Period or, in the case of the
Interest Period commencing on the Scheduled Maturity Date, 8.000%. The establishment of one-month
LIBOR for each Interest Period commencing on or after the Scheduled Maturity Date by the
Calculation Agent shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding. For purposes of
this definition, “London Banking Day” means any day on which commercial banks are open for
general business (including dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars) in London, England; “LIBOR
Determination Date” means the second London banking day immediately preceding the first day of

by one or more financing vehicles described in clause (a). “Pari Passu Securities” does not include
the Company’s junior subordinated debentures or guarantees issued in connection with the
outstanding trust preferred securities issued by Banc Services Corp. Statutory Trust I, Forbes
First Financial Statutory Trust I, Fidelity Capital Trust II and Fidelity Capital Trust III and in
connection with any future issuances or assumptions by the Company as a result of mergers,

any official or administrative pronouncement or action or judicial decision interpreting or
applying such laws or regulations, which is effective or announced on or after the initial issuance
of the capital securities being issued by the Trust, there is more than an insubstantial risk of
impairment of the Company’s ability to treat such capital securities (or any substantial portion
thereof) as Tier 1 capital (or its then equivalent) for purposes of the capital adequacy guidelines
of the Federal Reserve.

(including Additional Interest thereon), a Supervisory Event shall recommence.

pursuant to clause (vi) above in connection with such Repayment Date. The Company
shall be excused from its obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts to sell
Qualifying Capital Securities pursuant to clause (vi) above if such Officers’
Certificate further certifies that: (A) a Market Disruption Event was existing
during the 180-day period preceding the date of such Officers’ Certificate or, in
the case of any Repayment Date after the Scheduled Maturity Date, the 30-day period
preceding the date of such Officers’ Certificate; and (B) either (1) the Market
Disruption Event continued for the entire 180-day period or 30-day period, as the

sufficient net proceeds during the rest of that period to permit repayment of the
Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities in full. Each Officers’ Certificate
delivered pursuant to this clause (vii), unless no principal amount of Series C
Junior Subordinated Debt Securities is to be repaid on the applicable Repayment
Date, shall be accompanied by a notice of repayment pursuant to Section 3.1 setting
forth the principal amount of the Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities to be
repaid on such Repayment Date, which amount shall be determined after giving effect
to this clause (vii) of this Section 2.1(d).

     (viii) Net proceeds of the issuance of any Qualifying Capital Securities that
the Company is permitted to apply to repayment of the Series C Junior Subordinated
Debt Securities on any Repayment Date will be applied, first, to pay
Deferred Interest (including Additional Interest thereon) to the extent of the New
Equity Amount under the Alternative Payment Mechanism, second, to pay
current interest to the extent not paid from other sources and, third, to
repay the principal of Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, subject to a
minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 to be repaid on any Repayment Date; provided
that if the Company is obligated to sell Qualifying Capital Securities and apply the
net proceeds to payments of principal of or interest on any outstanding securities
in addition to the Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, then on any date
and for any period the amount of net proceeds received by the Company from those

11

 

sales and available for such payments shall be applied to the Series C Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities and those other securities having the same Scheduled
Maturity Date as the Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities pro rata in
accordance with their respective outstanding principal amounts and none of such net
proceeds shall be applied to any other securities having a later Scheduled Maturity
Date until the principal of and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Series C
Junior Subordinated Debt Securities has been paid in full.

     (e) Rate of Interest. The Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities shall
bear interest (i) from and including August 30, 2007 to but excluding the Scheduled Maturity
Date, at an annual rate of 8.000%, computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of
twelve 30-day months; provided that the amount of interest for any period shorter than a
full quarterly period will be computed on the basis of a 30-day month and, for periods of
less than a month, the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year, and (ii) on and
after the Scheduled Maturity Date, as to any unpaid amounts that remain outstanding, at an
annual rate equal to One-Month LIBOR plus 3.487%, until repaid as described under Article
III herein, computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed.
The applicable interest rate for each monthly interest period will be set on the last day of
each calendar month, and will be set for the first monthly interest period on September 15,
2047 (each such date, an “Interest Reset Date”). The applicable interest rate for
each monthly interest period will be determined on the “LIBOR Determination Date.” Subject
to Sections 2.1(g) and (h), interest on the Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities
shall be payable (i) quarterly in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15
of each year, commencing December 15, 2007 until the Scheduled Maturity Date, or if such day
is not a Business Day, the following Business Day (each such date, a “Quarterly Interest
Payment Date”), and no interest shall accrue or be paid as a result of such
postponement, and (ii) after the Scheduled Maturity Date, monthly in arrears on the last day
of each calendar month, or if such day is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on
the Business Day immediately preceding such day (each such date, a “Monthly Interest
Payment Date”).

     Interest payments on the Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities not paid when due
will themselves accrue Additional Interest at an annual rate equal to the annual interest
rate applicable to the Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities at such time, compounded
(1) quarterly during any period prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date and (2) monthly during
any period beginning on or after the Scheduled Maturity Date, in each case to the extent
permitted by applicable law.

     (f) To Whom Interest Payable. Interest will be payable to the person in whose
name the Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities are registered at the close of
business on the Regular Record Date next preceding the Interest Payment Date, except that,
interest payable on any Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities (i) pursuant to their
repayment in full in accordance with Article III and (ii) on the Final Maturity Date shall
be paid to the Person to whom principal is paid.

12

 

     (g) Option to Defer Interest Payments. Section 3.11 of the Indenture shall not
apply to the Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, which shall be governed by the
following provisions.

     (i) The Company shall have the right, at any time and from time to time prior
to the Final Maturity Date of the Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, to
defer the payment of interest thereon for one or more Optional Deferral Periods
consisting of no more than 20 consecutive quarters, or five consecutive years,
without becoming subject to the obligations to issue Eligible Equity and pay
Deferred Interest pursuant to Section 2.1(h) of this Supplemental Indenture. The
Company shall also have the right, at any time and from time to time prior to the
Final Maturity Date of the Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, to defer
payment of interest thereon for one or more Optional Deferral Periods consisting of
no more than a total of ten years without giving rise to an Event of Default under
Section 2.1(j). During the Optional Deferral Period, any Deferred Interest on the
Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities will accrue Additional Interest at an
annual rate equal to the annual interest rate applicable to the Series C Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities at such time, compounded (1) quarterly during any
period prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date and (2) monthly during any period
beginning on or after the Scheduled Maturity Date, in each case to the extent
permitted by applicable law. No interest then applicable will be due and payable on
the Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities until the end of the Optional
Deferral Period except upon a redemption of the Series C Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities during a deferral period. The Company may elect to so defer payment of
interest by delivering to the Trustee written notice of such election at least 10
and not more than 15 Business Days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Optional Deferral Period shall extend beyond the
Final Maturity Date or, if earlier, the redemption or repayment in full of the
Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities.

     (ii) During any Optional Deferral Period, (1) the Company shall not declare or
pay any dividends or distributions on any of the Company’s capital stock and the
Company shall not and shall not permit any Subsidiary of the Company to redeem,
purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of the
Company’s capital stock (in each case, such capital stock includes Common Stock and
the Company’s preferred stock), (2) the Company shall not make any payment of
principal of or interest or premium (if any) on, and the Company shall not and shall
not permit any Subsidiary of the Company to repay, repurchase or redeem any debt
securities of the Company that rank pari passu with or junior in interest to the
Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities or (3) the Company shall not, and shall
not permit any Subsidiary of the Company to make any guarantee payments with respect
to any guarantee by the Company of the debt securities of any Subsidiary of the
Company if such guarantee ranks pari passu with or junior in interest to the Series
C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, other than in the case of each of clauses
(1), (2) and (3): (A) any dividends or distributions in additional shares of the
Company’s capital stock (which includes Common Stock and the Company’s preferred

13

 

stock), (B) any pro rata payments of accrued and unpaid interest on the Series
C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities and any other debt securities of the Company
that rank pari passu with the Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, except
and to the extent the terms of any such debt securities would prohibit the Company
from making such pro rata payment, (C) any payments of accrued and unpaid amounts
under the Guarantee with respect to the capital securities and common securities of
the Trust and any other payments under guarantees by the Company of debt securities
of any Subsidiary of the Company that ranks pari passu with the Guarantee except and
to the extent the terms of any such debt securities would prohibit the Company from
making such pro rata payment, (D) any declaration or payment of a dividend in
connection with the implementation of a shareholders’ rights plan, or any issuance
of stock under any such plan or the redemption or repurchase of any such rights
pursuant thereto, and (E) any purchases of Common Stock related to the issuance of
Common Stock or rights under any of the Company’s benefits plans for its directors,
officers or employees.

     (iii) Upon the payment of all Deferred Interest (including any Additional
Interest thereon) then due on the Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities (that
has not been cancelled), the Company may elect to begin a new Optional Deferral
Period, which shall not extend beyond the Final Maturity Date or, if earlier, the
redemption or repayment in full of the Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities.
At the end of 10 consecutive years of a Optional Deferral Period, the Company shall
pay, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all Deferred Interest (including
Additional Interest thereon) on the Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities
that has not been cancelled to the Persons in whose names the Series C Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities are registered at the close of business on the Regular
Record Date with respect to the Interest Payment Date at the end of such Optional
Deferral Period.

     (iv) Subject to Section 2.1(h)(vi), in the case of any Optional Deferral Period
that does not terminate on or prior to the first anniversary of the commencement of
such Optional Deferral Period, the restrictions set forth in Section 2.1(g)(ii)
shall continue in effect in respect of any redemption, purchase or repurchase,
acquisition or liquidation payment of the Company’s securities that rank pari passu
with or junior in interest to the Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities until
the first anniversary of the termination of such Optional Deferral Period, unless
any such redemption or repurchase is required by the Federal Reserve.

     (h) Alternative Payment Mechanism; Payment of Deferred Interest. (i)
Commencing on the earlier of (i) the Fifth Deferral Anniversary, and (ii) the date of any
payment of current interest on the Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities during an
Optional Deferral Period, if any Deferred Interest (including Additional Interest thereon)
is outstanding, the Company shall be subject to the “Alternative Payment Mechanism,”
pursuant to which it will continuously use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect
sales of shares of its Common Stock, including treasury shares, in an amount that will
generate sufficient net proceeds to enable the Company to pay in full all

14

 

Deferred Interest (including Additional Interest thereon) on the Series C Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities then outstanding; provided that the Company shall not be
obligated to make offers for or effect sales of its Common Stock during the occurrence and
continuation of a Market Disruption Event or a Supervisory Event and will be permitted to
pay Deferred Interest (including Additional Interest thereon) using cash from any source
upon the occurrence of a Supervisory Event; and provided further that the Company shall not
pay Deferred Interest in excess of the New Equity Amount as of the date of payment of such
Deferred Interest. The Company’s obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts to sell shares of its Common Stock to pay all Deferred Interest (including Additional Interest
thereon) on the Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities shall resume at such time as no
Market Disruption Event or Supervisory Event exists or is continuing.

     (ii) As used in this Section 2.1(h), the term “commercially reasonable
efforts” means commercially reasonable efforts on the part of the Company to
complete the sale of shares of its Common Stock, including treasury shares, to third
parties that are not subsidiaries of the Company in public offerings and private
placements. The Company will not be considered to have used its commercially
reasonable efforts to effect a sale of stock if it determines not to pursue or
complete such sale solely due to pricing, dividend rate, coupon or dilution
considerations.

     (iii) The Company is not permitted to sell shares of Common Stock in excess of
a number of shares of Common Stock which at August 30, 2007 is equal to 100,000,000,
including treasury stock and shares of Common Stock sold pursuant to the Company’s
dividend reinvestment plan, employee stock purchase plan and employee benefit plans
(the “Share Cap Amount”), for the purpose of satisfying Section 2(h)(i) or
otherwise paying Deferred Interest (including Additional Interest thereon) on the
Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities then outstanding. If the issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number
of shares or a different class by reason of any stock split, reverse stock split,
stock dividend, reclassification, recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange
of shares or other similar transaction, then the Share Cap Amount shall be
correspondingly adjusted. The Company shall increase the Share Cap Amount
(including through the increase of its authorized share capital, if necessary) to an
amount that would allow the Company to raise sufficient proceeds to satisfy its
obligations to pay Deferred Interest (including Additional Interest thereon) in full
at the end of the first year of an Optional Deferral Period (and on each subsequent
anniversary of the end of the first year of an Optional Deferral Period to the
extent that an Optional Deferral Period lasts more than one year), if the
then-current Share Cap Amount would not allow the Company to raise sufficient
proceeds to satisfy its obligations to pay Deferred Interest (including Additional
Interest thereon to the date) assuming a price per share equal to the average
trading price of the Company’s Common Stock over the 10-trading-day period preceding
such date; provided that the Company will not be obligated to increase the Share Cap
Amount above 300,000,000 shares. Until the Tenth Deferral Anniversary, a breach of
this

15

 

provision will occur if the Company does not increase the Share Cap Amount to
an amount that is greater than 100,000,000 shares when required to do so as
described above; provided that no breach of this provision will occur if the Company
has increased the Share Cap Amount to 300,000,000 shares.

     (iv) Following the earlier of (i) the Fifth Deferral Anniversary and (ii) the
date of any payment of current interest during an Optional Deferral Period, the
Company shall apply the net proceeds received by it from sales of shares of its
Common Stock, including sales of treasury shares, as promptly as practicable
following the Company’s receipt of such proceeds, to the payment of all amounts
owing in respect of Deferred Interest (including Additional Interest thereon), with
net proceeds to be paid promptly after receipt until all amounts owing in respect of
Deferred Interest (including Additional Interest thereon) have been paid in full,
provided that the Company shall not be obligated to sell shares of its Common Stock
or apply the proceeds of sales of its Common Stock to payment of Deferred Interest
(including Additional Interest thereon) if a Market Disruption Event or a
Supervisory Event has occurred and is continuing. In the event that net proceeds
received by the Company from one or more sales of shares of its Common Stock or
Qualified Warrants following the earlier of (i) such Fifth Deferral Anniversary and
(ii) the date of any payment of current interest during an Optional Deferral Period
are not sufficient to satisfy the full amount of Deferred Interest (including
Additional Interest thereon), such net proceeds will be paid to the holders of the
Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities on a pro rata basis; provided that, if
the Company has outstanding at such time any debt securities ranking pari passu with
the Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities under the terms of which the
Company is obligated to sell shares of its Common Stock and apply the net proceeds
to payment of deferred interest (including additional interest thereon), then on any
date and for any period the amount of net proceeds received by the Company from such
sales of Common Stock or Qualified Warrants and available for payment of Deferred
Interest (including Additional Interest thereon) shall be applied to the Series C
Junior Subordinated Debt Securities and such pari passu securities on a pro rata
basis, taking into account any net proceeds from the sales of securities other than
Common Stock or Qualified Warrants that would be permitted to be applied to the
payment of deferred interest (including additional interest thereon) on any such
pari passu securities. Notwithstanding the above, the Company shall not be
obligated to sell Common Stock or to apply such net proceeds or any portion thereof
to the payment of Deferred Interest (including Additional Interest thereon) during
the occurrence and continuation of Market Disruption Event or a Supervisory Event or
to the extent that the terms of such other securities would prohibit the Company
from making any such pro rata payment.

     (v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Supplemental Indenture,
under no circumstances will the Company be obligated to sell Qualified Warrants or
to apply the proceeds of any such sale to pay any Deferred Interest (including
Additional Interest thereon) on the Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities.
Any sales of Qualified Warrants, if made in the

16

 

Company’s sole discretion, shall be subject to the APM Maximum Obligation and
the Share Cap Amount.

     (vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Supplemental Indenture,
the Company will not be obligated to issue Common Stock prior to the Fifth Deferral
Anniversary if the gross proceeds of any issuance of Common Stock and Qualified
Warrants applied to pay Deferred Interest (including Additional Interest thereon) on
the Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities pursuant to this Section 2.1(h),
together with the gross proceeds of all prior issuances of Common Stock and
Qualified Warrants applied since the commencement of the Optional Deferral Period,
would exceed an amount equal to 2% of the product of (1) the average of the Current
Stock Market Prices of the Company’s Common Stock on the 10 consecutive trading days
ending on the fourth trading day immediately preceding the date of issuance by the
Company of Common Stock applied to pay Deferred Interest (including Additional
Interest thereon) on the Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities pursuant to
Section 2.1(h) and (2) the total number of issued and outstanding shares of the
Company’s Common Stock as of the date of the Company’s most recent publicly
available consolidated financial statements (the “APM Maximum Obligation”).
Once the Company reaches the APM Maximum Obligation for an Optional Deferral Period,
the Company will not be obligated to issue more Common Stock or Qualified Warrants
pursuant to this Section 2.1(h) prior to the Fifth Deferral Anniversary even if the
Current Stock Market Price of the Company’s Common Stock or the number of
outstanding shares of its Common Stock subsequently increase. The APM Maximum
Obligation will cease to apply following the Fifth Deferral Anniversary, at which
point the Company must repay any Deferred Interest (including Additional Interest
thereon), regardless of the time at which it was deferred, using proceeds from sales
of the Company’s Common Stock, including treasury shares, subject to any Market
Disruption Event, Supervisory Event, and the Share Cap Amount. If the APM Maximum
Obligation has been reached during an Optional Deferral Period and the Company
subsequently repays all Deferred Interest (including Additional Interest thereon),
the APM Maximum Obligation will cease to apply at the termination of such Optional
Deferral Period and will not apply again unless and until the Company starts a new
Optional Deferral Period.

     (vii) if the Company engages in any transaction that is subject to Section 8.1
of the Indenture, where immediately after the consummation of such transaction more
than 50% of the voting stock of the Person formed by such transaction, or the Person
that is the surviving entity of such transaction, or the Person to whom such
properties and assets are conveyed, transferred or leased in such transaction, is
owned by the shareholders of the other party to such transaction, then the
restrictions of this Section 2.1(h) shall not apply to any interest on the Series C
Junior Subordinated Debt Securities that is deferred and unpaid as of the date of
consummation of such transaction and, with respect to any Deferral Period that is
terminated on the next Interest Payment Date

17

 

following the date of consummation of such transaction, Section 2.1(g)(iv)
shall not apply.

     (viii) To the extent that the Company applies net proceeds from the sale of
Qualified Warrants or Common Stock to pay Deferred Interest pursuant to this Section
2.1(h), the Company shall allocate such net proceeds first to deferred payments of
interests in chronological order based on the date each payment was first deferred,
subject to the Share Cap Amount and the APM Maximum Obligation.

     (i) Notices. (i) At any time during which the Company would otherwise
generally have an obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts to sell shares of its
Common Stock to pay all Deferred Interest (including Additional Interest thereon) on the
Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities pursuant to Section 2.1(h)(i), if a Market
Disruption Event has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall give, as promptly as
possible after the Company becomes aware of such occurrence, a written notice (a “Market
Disruption Event Notice”) to the Trustee, stating that a Market Disruption Event has
occurred and the date on which such Market Disruption Event has occurred, the nature
thereof. No later than five (5) Business Days following termination of a Market Disruption
Event, the Company shall give a written notice to the Trustee stating the date on which such
Market Disruption Event terminated.

     (ii) At any time during which the Company would otherwise generally have an
obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts to sell shares of its Common Stock
to pay all Deferred Interest (including Additional Interest thereon) on the Series C
Junior Subordinated Debt Securities pursuant to Section 2.1(h)(i), the Company
shall give, as promptly as possible after the Company becomes aware of such
occurrence, a written notice (a “Supervisory Event Notice”) to the Trustee
stating that a Supervisory Event has occurred and the nature thereof. No later than
five (5) Business Days following termination of a Supervisory Event, the Company
shall give a written notice to the Trustee stating the date on which such
Supervisory Event terminated.

     (iii) The Company shall give written notice to the Federal Reserve: (a) no
later than five (5) Business Days following commencement of an Optional Deferral
Period; and (b) upon the earlier to occur of (i) the Fifth Deferral Anniversary of
such Optional Deferral Period or (ii) the payment of current interest during an
Optional Deferral Period.

     (iv) At least 25 Business Days in advance of the relevant payment date (or such
longer period as may be required by the Federal Reserve order or by other
supervisory action) the Company shall give written notice to the Federal Reserve of
its intent both (1) to sell shares of Common Stock or, at Company’s sole discretion,
Qualified Warrants and (2) to apply the net proceeds from such sale to pay Deferred
Interest (including Additional Interest thereon), and shall only take any such
actions if the Federal Reserve does not disapprove either of such actions within ten
(10) Business Days (or such longer period as may be required by

18

 

Federal Reserve order or by other supervisory action) after the Company gives
such notice to the Federal Reserve or the Federal Reserve has withdrawn any prior
disapproval.

     (j) Events of Default. (i) Solely for purposes of the Series C Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities, Section 5.1(1) of the Indenture shall be deleted and replaced
by the following:

     “(1) default in the payment of interest (including Additional Interest
thereon), in full on any Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities for a period
of 30 days after the conclusion of a period of ten consecutive years following the
commencement of any Optional Deferral Period.”

     (ii) Solely for purposes of the Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, the first
paragraph of Section 5.2 of the Indenture shall be deleted and replaced by the following:

     “If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(1) with respect to the Series
C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities at the time outstanding occurs and is
continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25%
in principal amount of the outstanding Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities
shall have the right to declare the principal amount of, and accrued interest
(including any Additional Interest thereon) on, all the Series C Junior Subordinated
Debt Securities to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the
Company (and to the Trustee if given by holders), provided that if the Trustee or
the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Series C
Junior Subordinated Debt Securities fail to declare the principal of, and accrued
interest (including any Additional Interest thereon) on, all the Series C Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities of that series to be immediately due and payable, then
the holders of at least 25% in aggregate liquidation amount of the corresponding
series of capital securities then outstanding shall have such right by a notice in
writing to the Company and the Trustee; and upon any such declaration such principal
amount (or specified portion thereof) of, and the accrued interest (including any
Additional Interest thereon) on, all the Series C Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities shall become immediately due and payable. Payment of principal and
interest (including any Additional Interest thereon) on the Series C Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities shall remain subordinated to the extent provided in
Article XIII notwithstanding that such amount shall become immediately due and
payable as herein provided. If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(2),
(3), (4) or (5) with respect to the Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities at
the time Outstanding occurs, the principal amount of all the Series C Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities shall automatically, and without any declaration or
other action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due and
payable.”

     (iii) For the avoidance of doubt, and without prejudice to any other remedies that may
be available to the Trustee, the Holders of the Series C Junior Subordinated Debt

19

 

Securities or the holders of the capital securities issued by the Trust, no breach by
the Company of any covenant or obligation under the Indenture or the terms of the Series C
Junior Subordinated Debt Securities shall be an Event of Default (including, without
limitation, the failure to comply with the provisions of Section 2.1(g) and Section 2.1(h)
of this Supplemental Indenture), except those that are specifically identified as an Event
of Default under the Indenture.

     (k) Redemption. The Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities are repayable
at the option of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of Article XI of the
Indenture and subject to the Company having received prior approval from the Federal Reserve
if then required under applicable capital guidelines or policies of the Federal Reserve, at
100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest (1) in whole or in part, on
one or more occasions at any time on or after August 30, 2012, or (2) in whole at any time
if a Special Event has occurred and is continuing and the Company cannot cure the Special
Event by some reasonable action, in which case the Company may redeem the Series C Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities within 90 days following the occurrence of the Special Event.

     (l) Location of Payment. Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and
interest on the Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities will be made at an office of
the Paying Agent located in The City of New York, State of New York, in such coin or
currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for
payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that at the option of the Company
payment of interest may be made (i) by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled
thereto as such address shall appear in the Securities Register or (ii) by wire transfer in
immediately available funds at such place and to such account as may be designated by the
Person entitled thereto as specified in the Securities Register. The office where the
Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities may be presented or surrendered for payment and
the office where the Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities may be surrendered for
transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the
Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities and the Indenture may be served shall be the
corporate trust office of the Paying Agent.

     (m) Limitation on Claims in the Event of Bankruptcy, Insolvency or
Reorganization. Each holder, by such holder’s acceptance of the Series C Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities, consents to and agrees that if any bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization proceeding with respect to National City shall occur prior to the redemption
or repayment of the Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, such Holder shall have no
claim for, and thus no right to receive, any Deferred Interest (including any Additional
Interest thereon) to the extent it exceeds an amount equal to 25% of the then outstanding
aggregate principal amount of the Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities.

     (n) Sinking Fund. The Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities shall not
be subject to any sinking fund or analogous provisions.

20

 

     (o) Forms. The Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities shall be
substantially in the form of Annex A attached hereto. The Trust Agreement shall be
substantially in the form of Annex B attached hereto. The Guarantee Agreement shall be
substantially in the form of Annex C attached hereto.

     (p) Subordination. The subordination provisions of Article XIII of the
Indenture shall apply; provided, however, that for the purposes of the Series C Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities (but not for the purposes of any other Series C Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities unless specifically set forth in the terms of such Series C
Junior Subordinated Debt Securities), the definition of “Senior and Subordinated Debt” in
the Indenture is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

     “‘Senior and Subordinated Debt’ means the principal of (and premium, if any)
and interest, if any (including interest accruing on or after the filing of any
petition in bankruptcy or for reorganization relating to the Company whether or not
such claim for post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding), on Debt of the
Company (including, for these purposes and without limitation, obligations
associated with derivative products including, but not limited to, interest rate and
foreign exchange contracts, forward contracts related to mortgages, securities,
commodities or otherwise, capitalized lease obligations and guarantees of any of the
foregoing), whether incurred on or prior to the date of this Indenture or thereafter
incurred, provided, however, that Senior and Subordinated Debt shall not include
Pari Passu Securities.”

     (q) Special Record Date for the Payment of Deferred Interest. The Company may
elect to make a payment of any Deferred Interest (including Additional Interest thereon) on
a date that is not an Interest Payment Date to the Persons in whose names the Series C
Junior Subordinated Debt Securities are registered at the close of business on a Special
Record Date for the payment of such Deferred Interest (including Additional Interest
thereon), which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the
Trustee and the Paying Agent in writing of the amount of Deferred Interest (including
Additional Interest thereon) proposed to be paid on the Series C Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall
deposit with the Paying Agent an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to
be paid in respect of such Deferred Interest (including Additional Interest thereon) or
shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Paying Agent for such deposit prior to the date
of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of
the Persons entitled to such Deferred Interest (including Additional Interest thereon) as
provided herein. Thereupon, the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of
such Deferred Interest (including Additional Interest thereon) which shall be not more than
15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less
than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The
Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and the Paying Agent of such Special Record Date
and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, the Paying Agent shall cause notice of
the proposed payment of such Deferred Interest (including Additional Interest thereon) and
the Special Record Date therefore to be mailed, first-class, postage prepaid, to each Holder
of Series C Junior Subordinated Debt

21

 

Securities at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Securities Register not
less than ten days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of the
Deferred Interest (including Additional Interest thereon) and the Special Record Date
therefore having been mailed as aforesaid, such Deferred Interest (including Additional
Interest thereon) shall be paid to the persons in whose names the Series C Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities are registered on such Special Record Date.

     (r) Replacement Capital Covenant. The Company shall not amend the Replacement
Capital Covenant to impose additional restrictions on the type or amount of Qualifying
Capital Securities for purposes of determining the extent to which repayment, redemption or
repurchase of the Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities or capital securities issued
by the Trust is permitted, except with the consent of the holders of the majority by
liquidation amount of the capital securities issued by the Trust, or if the Series C Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities have been distributed by the Trust, by principal amount of the
Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities. Except as aforesaid, the Company may amend
the Replacement Capital Covenant without consent of the holders of the Series C Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities.

     Section 2.2. Amendments. Solely for the purposes of this series of Series C Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities, Section 9.1 of the Indenture shall be amended by:

     (a) redesignating original Subsection 9.1(8) as 9.1(9), and original Subsection 9.1(9)
as 9.1(10); and

     (b) adding a new Subsection 9.1(8) to read as follows:

Exchangeable for Equity (but only to the extent exchangeable for Common Stock) as a type of
security or securities included in the definition of “Qualifying Securities” if the Company
has been advised in writing by a nationally recognized independent accounting firm that
there is more than an insubstantial risk that the failure to do so would result in a
reduction in the Company’s earnings per share as calculated for financial reporting
purposes; or”.

ARTICLE III

REPAYMENT OF THE SERIES C JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBT SECURITIES

     Section 3.1. Repayment. The Company shall, not more than 15 nor less than 10
Business Days prior to each Repayment Date, notify the Trustee of the Series C Junior Subordinated
Debt Securities of the principal amount of Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities to be
repaid on such date pursuant to Section 2.1(d).

     Section 3.2. Selection of Securities to be Repaid. If less than all the Series C
Junior Subordinated Debt Securities are to be repaid on any Repayment Date (unless such repayment
affects only a single Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Security), the particular Series C Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities to be repaid shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to such
Repayment Date by the Trustee, from the outstanding Series C Junior Subordinated Debt

22

 

Securities not previously repaid or called for redemption, by lot, provided that the portion
of the principal amount of any Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities not repaid shall be in
an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for
such Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities.

     The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Series C Junior Subordinated
Debt Securities selected for partial repayment and the principal amount thereof to be repaid. For
all purposes hereof, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the
repayment of Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities shall relate, in the case of any Series C
Junior Subordinated Debt Securities repaid or to be repaid only in part, to the portion of the
principal amount of such Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities which has been or is to be
repaid. If the Company shall so direct, Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities registered in
the name of the Company, any Affiliate or any Subsidiary thereof shall not be included in the
Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities selected for repayment.

     Section 3.3. Notice of Repayment. Notice of repayment shall be given by first-class
mail, postage prepaid, mailed not later than the 15th day, and not earlier than the
10th day, prior to the Repayment Date, to each holder of Series C Junior Subordinated
Debt Securities to be repaid, at the address of such holder as it appears in the Securities
Register.

     Each notice of repayment shall identify the Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities to be
repaid (including CUSIP number, if a CUSIP number has been assigned to the Series C Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities) and shall state:

     (a) the Repayment Date;

     (b) if less than all outstanding Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities are to be
repaid, the identification (and, in the case of partial repayment, the respective principal
amounts) of the particular Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities to be redeemed;

     (c) that on the Repayment Date, the principal amount of the Series C Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities to be repaid will become due and payable upon each such Series
C Junior Subordinated Debt Security or portion thereof, and that interest thereon, if any,
shall cease to accrue on and after said date; and

     (d) the place or places where such Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities are to
be surrendered for payment of the principal amount thereof.

     Notice of repayment shall be given by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the
Company and shall be irrevocable. The notice if mailed in the manner herein provided shall be
conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the holder receives such notice. In
any case, a failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the holder of any
Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities designed for repayment as a whole or in part shall not
affect the validity of the proceedings for the repayment of any other Series C Junior Subordinated
Debt Securities.

     Section 3.4. Deposit of Repayment Amount. Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time,
on the Repayment Date specified in the notice of repayment given as provided in Section 3.3, the

23

 

Company will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more Payment Agents an amount of money
sufficient to pay the principal amount of, and any accrued interest (including Additional Interest
thereon) on, all the Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities which are to be repaid on that
date.

     Section 3.5. Payment of Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Subject to
Repayment. If any notice of repayment has been given as provided in Section 3.3, the Series C
Junior Subordinated Debt Securities or portion of the Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities
with respect to which such notice has been given shall become due and payable on the date and at
the place or places stated in such notice. On presentation and surrender of such Series C Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities at a Place of Payment in said notice specified, the said Series C
Junior Subordinated Debt Securities or the specified portions thereof shall be paid by the Company
at their principal amount, together with accrued interest (including any Additional Interest
thereon) to the Repayment Date; provided that, except in the case of a repayment in full of all
outstanding Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, installments of interest the Payment Date
for which is on or prior to the Repayment Date will be payable to the holders of such Series C
Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at
the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of
Section 3.7 of the Indenture.

     Upon presentation of any Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Security repaid in part only, the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the
holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Security or
Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, of authorized denominations, in aggregate principal
amount equal to the portion of the Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities not repaid and so
presented and having the same date of original issuance, Final Maturity Date and terms.

     If any Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Security called for repayment shall not be so paid
upon surrender thereof, the principal of such Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Security shall,
until paid, bear interest from the Repayment Date at the rate prescribed therefore in the Series C
Junior Subordinated Debt Security.

ARTICLE V

MISCELLANEOUS

     Section 5.1. If any provision of this Supplemental Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts
with the duties imposed by any of Sections 310 to 317, inclusive, of the Trust Indenture Act of
1939 through operation of Section 318(c) thereof, such imposed duties shall control.

     Section 5.2. The Article headings herein are for convenience only and shall not effect the
construction hereof.

     Section 5.3. Acknowledgement of Rights. The Company acknowledges that, with respect
to any Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities held by the Trust or the Trustee, if the
Trustee fails to enforce its right under this Supplemental Indenture as the holder of the Series C
Junior Subordinated Debt Securities held as the assets of the Trust, any holder of Capital
Securities may institute legal proceedings directly against the Company to enforce the Trustee’s
rights under this Supplemental Indenture without first instituting any legal proceedings against
such Trustee or any other person or entity.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and such
event is attributable to the failure of the Company to pay interest or principal on the Series C
Junior Subordinated Debt Securities on the date such interest or principal is otherwise payable (or
in the case of redemption, on the redemption date), the Company acknowledges that a holder of
Capital Securities issued by the Trust which is, or the Trustee of which is, the holder of such
Capital Securities may directly institute a proceeding for enforcement of payment to such holder of
the principal of or interest on the Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities having a principal
amount equal to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Capital Securities of such holder (a
“Direct Action”) on or after the respective due date specified of such holder on or after
the respective due date specified in the Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities.
Notwithstanding any payments made to such holder of Capital Securities by the Company in connection
with a Direct Action, the Company shall remain obligated to pay the principal of or interest on the
Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities held by the Trust or Trustee, and the Company shall be
subrogated to the rights of the holder of such Capital Securities to the extent of any payments
made by the Company to such holder in any Direct Action.

     Section 5.4. All covenants and agreements in this Supplemental Indenture by the Company shall
bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

26

 

     Section 5.5. In case any provision of this Supplemental Indenture 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 5.6. Nothing in this Supplemental Indenture is intended to or shall provide any
rights to any parties other than those expressly contemplated by this Supplemental Indenture.

     Section 5.7. THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED WHOLLY
WITHIN SUCH STATE.

     Section 5.8. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this
Supplemental Indenture. The Recitals and statements herein are deemed to be those of the Company
and not of the Trustee.

     This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall
be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the
same instrument.

     NATIONAL CITY CORPORATION, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of
Delaware (hereinafter called the “Company,” which term includes any successor corporation under the
Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to The Bank of New
York Trust Company, N.A., the Property Trustee of NATIONAL CITY CAPITAL TRUST IV, or registered
assigns, the principal sum of dollars (            ) on August 30, 2067, or if such day is
not a Business Day (as hereinafter defined), the following Business Day (the “Final Maturity
Date”); provided that the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, this
Security shall be payable in full on September 15, 2047 (the “Scheduled Maturity Date”) or
any subsequent Interest Payment Date (as hereinafter defined) to the extent set forth in the
Supplemental Indenture hereinafter referred to. The Company is authorized to direct payments to
The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., in its capacity as paying agent under the Trust Agreement
(as defined below), or any other paying agent appointed under the terms of the Trust Agreement.
This Security shall bear interest (i) from and including August 30, 2007 to but excluding the
Scheduled Maturity Date, at an annual rate of 8.000%, computed on the basis of a 360-day year
comprised of twelve 30-day months; provided that the amount of interest for any period shorter than
a full quarterly period will be computed on the basis of a 30-day month and, for periods of less
than a month, the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year, and (ii) on and after the
Scheduled Maturity Date, as to any unpaid amounts that remain outstanding, at an annual rate equal
to One-Month LIBOR plus 3.487%, computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of
days elapsed. Subject to Sections 2.1(g) and (h), interest on this Security shall be payable (i)
quarterly in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15, of each year, commencing
December 15, 2007 until the Scheduled Maturity Date, or if such day is not a Business Day, the
following day (each such date, a “Quarterly Interest Payment Date”) and (ii) thereafter,
monthly in arrears on the last day of each month, or if such day is not a Business Day, the
Business Day immediately preceding such Business Day (each such date, a “Monthly Interest
Payment Date”). A “Business Day” shall mean any day other than (i) a Saturday or Sunday, (ii)
a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or required by law or
executive order to remain closed or (iii) a day on which the Corporate Trust Office or the
principal offices of the Property Trustee is closed for business. The interest installment so
payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided
in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor
Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest
installment, which shall be (i) the Business Day next preceding such Interest Payment Date if this
Security is issued in the form of a Global Security, or (ii) the fifteenth day (whether or not a
Business Day) preceding such Interest Payment Date if this Security is not issued in the form of a
Global Security. Any such interest installment not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall
forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to
the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the
close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted

1

 

Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of the
Securities of this series not fewer than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at
any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities
exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be
required by such exchange, all as more full provided in said Indenture.

     The Company shall have the right, at any time and from time to time prior to the Final
Maturity Date of this Security, to defer the payment of interest thereon for one or more Optional
Deferral Periods consisting of no more than 20 consecutive quarters without becoming subject to the
obligations to issue Eligible Equity and pay Deferred Interest pursuant to Section 2.1(h) of the
Third Supplemental Indenture. The Company shall also have the right, at any time and from time to
time prior to the Final Maturity Date of this Security, to defer payment of interest thereon for
one or more Optional Deferral Periods consisting of no more than 40 consecutive quarters without
giving rise to an Event of Default. The Company may elect to so defer payment of interest by
delivering to the Trustee written notice of such election at least ten and not more than 15
Business Days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
Optional Deferral Period shall extend beyond the Final Maturity Date of this Security.

     During any Optional Deferral Period, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any
Subsidiary of the Company to, (1) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem,
purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of the Company’s capital stock
(which includes Common Stock and the Company’s preferred stock), (2) make any payment of principal
of or interest or premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities of the
Company (including other Junior Subordinated Debt Securities or other junior subordinated debt)
that rank pari passu with or junior in interest to the Securities of this Series or (3) make any
Guarantee payments with respect to any Guarantee by the Company of the debt securities of any
Subsidiary of the Company (including other Income Capital Obligation Notes or other junior
subordinated debt) if such Guarantee ranks pari passu with or junior in interest to the Securities
of this series, other than in the case of each of clauses (1), (2) and (3): (A) any dividends or
distributions in additional shares of the Company’s capital stock (which includes Common Stock and
the Company’s preferred stock), (B) any payments under the Guarantee with respect to the Capital
Securities and common securities of the Trust, (C) any declaration or payment of a dividend in
connection with the implementation of a stockholders’ rights plan, or any issuance of stock under
any such plan in the future or the redemption or repurchase of any such rights pursuant thereto,
and (D) any purchases of Common Stock related to the issuance of Common Stock or rights under any
of the Company’s benefits plans for its directors, officers or employees.

     Payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security will be made at
the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the United States, in such coin
or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment
of public and private debts; provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment of
interest may be made (i) by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such
address shall appear in the Securities Register or (ii) by wire transfer in immediately available
funds at such place and to such account as may be designated in writing at least 15 days before the
relevant Interest Payment Date by the Person entitled thereto as specified in the Securities
Register.

 

 

     The indebtedness evidenced by this Security is, to the extent provided in the Indenture,
subordinated and subject in right of payments to the prior payment in full of all Senior and
Subordinated Debt (as such definition is modified in the Third Supplemental Indenture with respect
to this Security), and this Security is issued subject to the provisions of the Indenture with
respect thereto. Each Holder of this Security, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be
bound by such provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such actions
as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination so provided and (c) appoints the
Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. Each Holder hereof, by his acceptance
hereof, waives all notice of the acceptance of the subordination provisions contained herein and in
the Indenture by each holder of Senior and Subordinated Debt, whether now outstanding or hereafter
incurred, and waives reliance by each such holder upon said provisions.

     Reference is made hereby to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse
hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at
this place.

     Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to
on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under
the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

 

 

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly executed under its
corporate seal.

REVERSE OF SECURITY

     This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called
the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under a Junior Subordinated
Indenture, dated as of November 3, 2006 (the “Indenture”), as supplemented by the First
Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 3, 2006 and as supplemented by the Second Supplemental
Indenture dated as of May 25, 2007 and as supplemented by the Third Supplemental Indenture, dated
as of August 30, 2007, between the Company and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee
(herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor Trustee under the
Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for
a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of
the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon which the
Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series
designated on the face hereof, limited in aggregate principal amount to $517,500,000 issuable on
one or more occasions.

     All terms used in this Security that are defined in the Indenture or in the Amended and
Restated Trust Agreement, dated as of August 30, 2007 (the “Trust Agreement”), for National
City Capital Trust IV, among National City Corporation, as Depositor, and the Trustees named
therein, shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture or the Trust Agreement, as the
case may be.

     The Company may at any time, at its option, on or after August 30, 2012, and subject to the
terms and conditions of Article XI of the Indenture and Section 2.1(k) of the Third Supplemental
Indenture, and subject to prior approval by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System if
then required, redeem this Security in whole at any time or in part from time to time, without
premium or penalty, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus
accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest thereon, if any), to the Redemption
Date. Any such repayment, redemption or purchase includes the defeasance by the Company of the
Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities and the related satisfaction and discharge of the
Company’s related obligations with respect to the Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities.

     Following the earlier of (i) the Fifth Deferral Anniversary and (ii) the date of any payment
of current interest during an Optional Deferral Period, the Company shall apply the net proceeds
received by it from sales of shares of its Common Stock, including sales of treasury shares, to the
payment of all amounts owing in respect of Deferred Interest (including Additional Interest
thereon), with net proceeds to be paid promptly after receipt until all amounts owing in respect of
Deferred Interest (including Additional Interest thereon) have been paid in full. In the event
that net proceeds received by the Company from one or more sales of shares of its Common Stock
following such Fifth Deferral Anniversary are not sufficient to satisfy the full amount of Deferred
Interest (including Additional Interest thereon), such net proceeds will be paid to the holders of
the Series C Junior Subordinated Debt Securities on a pro rata basis; provided, that if the Company
has outstanding at such time any debt securities ranking pari passu with the Securities under the
terms of which the Company is obligated to sell shares of its Common Stock and apply the net
proceeds to payment of Deferred Interest (including Additional

 

 

Interest thereon) on such pari passu securities and the Company at such time is required to
apply such proceeds to pay Deferred Interest (including Additional Interest thereon) on such pari
passu securities, then on any date and for any period the amount of net proceeds received by the
Company from such sales and available for payment of such Deferred Interest (including Additional
Interest thereon) shall be applied to the Securities and such pari passu securities on a pro rata
basis, taking into account any net proceeds from the sales of securities other than Common Stock or
Qualified Warrants that would be permitted to be applied to the payment of Deferred Interest
(including Additional Interest thereon) on any such pari passu securities. Notwithstanding the
above, the Company shall not be obligated to sell Common Stock or to apply such net proceeds or any
portion thereof to the payment of Deferred Interest (including Additional Interest thereon) during
the occurrence and continuation of Market Disruption Event or a Supervisory Event.

     Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Tax Event, Investment Company Event or a
Regulatory Capital Event in respect of a Trust, the Company may, at its option, at any time within
90 days of the occurrence of such Tax Event, Investment Company Event or Regulatory Capital Event
redeem this Security, in whole but not in part, subject to the provisions of Article XI of the
Indenture, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and
unpaid interest (including Additional Interest thereon, if any), to the Redemption Date.

     The Indenture contains provisions for satisfaction and discharge of the entire indebtedness of
this Security upon compliance by the Company of certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.

     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the
Trustee at any time to enter into a supplemental indenture or indentures for the purpose of
modifying in any manner the rights and obligations of the Company and of the Holders of the
Securities, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of all series to be affected by such supplemental indenture. The Indenture
also contains provisions permitting Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the
Securities of all series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of
such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and
certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by
the Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration and transfer hereof
or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made
upon this Security.

     As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, if an Event of Default with
respect to the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then and
in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less that 25% in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of this series may declare the principal amount of all the Securities of
this series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the
Trustee if given by the Holders), provided that, in the case of the Securities of this series
issued to a Trust, if upon an Event of Default under the Third Supplemental Indenture, the Trustee
or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of this
series fails to declare the principal of all the Securities of this series to be immediately due
and payable,

 

 

the holders of at least 25% in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the capital securities issued
by the Trust then outstanding shall have such right by a notice in writing to the Company and the
Trustee; and upon any such declaration the principal amount of and the accrued interest (including
Additional Interest thereon) on all the Securities of this series shall become immediately due and

based on their respective Liquidation Amounts at the rates and on the dates that payments of
interest (including any Additional Interest) are made on the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities,
and Distributions on Trust Securities are subject to the terms of the Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities, including the “Alternative Payment Mechanism”, the “Share Cap” and the “APM Maximum
Obligation”, as defined in the Supplemental Indenture. Accordingly:

     (i) Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be cumulative as and to the extent
interest payments of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities are 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, August 30, 2007 to
but excluding the Scheduled Maturity Date of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities (as
defined in the Supplemental Indenture), at an annual rate of 8.000%, computed on the basis
of a 360-day year comprised of 12, 30-day months; provided that the amount of interest for
any period shorter than a full quarterly period will be computed on the basis of a 30-day
month, and for periods less than a month, the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day
year. On and after the Scheduled Maturity Date of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities,
as to any unpaid amounts that remain outstanding, Distributions on the outstanding Trust
Securities shall accumulate at an annual rate equal to One-Month LIBOR plus 3.487%, until
the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities are repaid as described in the Supplemental
Indenture, computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed.
The Applicable Distribution Rate will be set for the first monthly distribution following
the Scheduled Maturity Date of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities on September 15,
2047, and the applicable Distribution Rate for each monthly Distribution after the first
monthly distribution, will be determined on the “LIBOR Determination Date” (each
such date, an “Interest Reset Date”). Subject to the terms of the Supplemental
Indenture, including Sections 2.1(g) and (h), payment of the interest on the Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities and Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be payable (i)
quarterly in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15, and December 15, of each year
commencing December 15, 2007 until the Scheduled Maturity Date of the Junior Subordinated
Debt Securities, or if such day as not a Business Day, the following Business Day, each such
date a “Quarterly Distribution Payment Date”) and (ii) thereafter, monthly in
arrears on the last day of each month or if such day is not a Business Day, the following
Business Day, unless the Distribution Date would fall in the next calendar month, in which
case, Distribution shall be paid on the Business Day immediately preceding such Business Day
(each such date, a “Monthly Distribution 

- 18 -

 

Payment Date”). No interest shall accrue or be paid as a result of any such
postponement of the Quarterly Distribution Payment Date or the Monthly Distribution Payment
Date as provided in the immediately preceding sentence. Distributions on the Trust
Securities not paid when due will themselves accrue Additional Interest at an annual rate
equal to the annual interest rate applicable to the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities at
such time, compounded (i) quarterly during any period prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date
of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities and (ii) monthly during any period beginning on
or after the Scheduled Maturity Date of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, in each
case to the extent permitted by applicable law. Herein, each date on which Distributions
are payable in accordance with this Section 4.1(a)(i), is a “Distribution Date”;

     (ii) in the event (and to the extent) that the Depositor exercises its right under the
Indenture to defer the payment of interest on the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities,
Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be deferred. Under the Indenture, so long as no
Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Event of Default pursuant to Section 5.1 of the
Indenture as amended by Section 2.1(j) of the Supplemental Indenture has occurred and is
continuing, the Depositor shall have the right, at any time and from time to time during the
term of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, to defer the payment of interest on the
Junior Subordinated Debt Securities for a period of up to twenty (20) consecutive quarterly
interest payment periods or five consecutive years, and for one or more consecutive interest
periods that do not exceed a total of 10 years or until the next Extension Period (the
“Extension Period” as defined as “Optional Deferral Period” in the
Supplemental Indenture). No interest on the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities shall be
due and payable during an Extension Period (except any Additional Sums that may be due and
payable), except at the end thereof, but each Distribution that would otherwise have been
due and payable on outstanding Trust Securities during such Extension Period shall bear
Additional Interest (to the extent payment of such interest would be legally enforceable) at
an annual rate of 8.000% per annum on the Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities, prior
to September 15, 2047, payable quarterly in arrears, and, on or after September 15, 2047, at
an amount equal to One-Month LIBOR plus 3.487% set on September 15, 2047 for the first
Distribution Period following September 15, 2047, and set thereafter monthly on each LIBOR
Determination Date, from the dates on which such amounts would have otherwise been due and
payable until paid or until funds for the payment thereof have been made available for
payment.

     (iii) Distributions on the Trust Capital Securities and Common Securities shall be made
by the Paying Agent from amounts held in the Payment Account and shall be payable on each
Distribution Date only to the extent that the Trust has funds then on hand and available in
the Payment Account for the payment of such Distributions.

     (b) Distributions on the Trust Securities with respect to a Distribution Date shall be payable
to the Holders thereof as they appear on the Securities Register for the Trust Capital Securities
and Common Securities on the relevant record date (the “Record Date”). For Book-Entry
Trust Capital Securities, the Record Date shall be the Business Day preceding the Distribution
Date, and for all other Trust Securities, shall be the fifteenth day preceding each Distribution
Date. Distributions (including Additional Interest Amounts) payable on any Trust Securities that
are not punctually paid on any Distribution Date as a result of the Depositor

- 19 -

 

having failed to make an interest payment under the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities will
cease to be payable to the Person in whose name such Trust Securities are registered on the
relevant record date, and such deferred Distributions and any Additional Interest Amounts will
instead be payable to the Person in whose name such Trust Securities are registered on the special
record date, or other specified date for determining Holders entitled to such deferred Distribution
and Additional Interest Amount, established in the same manner, and on the same date, as such are
established with respect to the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities under the Supplemental
Indenture.

     SECTION 4.2. Payments Upon Redemption and Maturity of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities.

     (a) On each Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Redemption Date and on the Final Maturity Date
and on each other date on (or in respect of) which any principal on the Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities is repaid, the Trust will be required to redeem a Like Amount of Trust Securities at the
Redemption Price.

     (b) Notice of redemption shall be given by the Property Trustee 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. All notices of redemption shall state:

     (i) the Redemption Date;

     (ii) the Redemption Price or, if the Redemption Price cannot be calculated prior to the
time the notice is required to be sent, the estimate of the Redemption Price provided
pursuant to the Indenture, as calculated by the Depositor, together with a statement that it
is an estimate and that the actual Redemption Price will be calculated by the Calculation
Agent on the fifth Business Day prior to the Redemption Date (and if an estimate is
provided, a further notice shall be sent of the actual Redemption Price on the date that
such Redemption Price is calculated);

     (iii) if less than all the Outstanding Trust Securities are to be redeemed, the
identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the respective liquidation amounts)
and Liquidation Amounts of the particular Trust Securities to be redeemed;

     (iv) that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon
each such Trust Security, or portion thereof, to be redeemed and that Distributions thereon
will cease to accumulate on such Trust Security or such portion, as the case may be, on and
after said date, except as provided in Section 4.2(d);

     (v) the place or places where the Trust Securities are to be surrendered for the
payment of the Redemption Price; and

     (vi) such other provisions as the Property Trustee deems relevant.

     (c) The Trust Securities (or portion thereof) redeemed on each Redemption Date shall be
redeemed at the Redemption Price with the proceeds from the contemporaneous redemption or payment
of Junior Subordinated Debt Securities. Redemptions of the Trust Securities (or

- 20 -

 

portion thereof) shall be made and the Redemption Price shall be payable on each Redemption
Date only to the extent that the Trust has funds then on hand and available in the Payment Account
for the payment of such Redemption Price. Under the Indenture, the Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities may be redeemed by the Depositor on or after August 30, 2012, in whole or in part, from
time to time at a redemption price equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount
thereof, together, in the case of any such redemption, with accrued interest, including any
Additional Interest, to but excluding the date fixed for redemption (the “Junior Subordinated
Debt Securities Redemption Price”); provided, that the Depositor shall have received the prior
approval of the Federal Reserve if then required. The Junior Subordinated Debt Securities may also
be redeemed by the Depositor, at its option, in whole but not in part, upon the occurrence of a
Regulatory Capital Event, an Investment Company Event or a Tax Event at the Special Event
Redemption Price (as set forth in the Supplemental Indenture).

     (d) If the Property Trustee gives a notice of redemption in respect of any Trust Capital
Securities, then by 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Redemption Date, the Depositor shall
deposit sufficient funds with the Property Trustee to pay the Redemption Price. If such deposit
has been made by such time, then by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Redemption Date, the
Property Trustee will, with respect to Book-Entry Trust Capital Securities, irrevocably deposit
with the Depositary for such Book-Entry Trust Capital Securities, to the extent available therefor,
funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price and will give such Depositary irrevocable
instructions and authority to pay the Redemption Price to the Holders of the Trust Capital
Securities. With respect to Trust Capital Securities that are not Book-Entry Trust Capital
Securities, the Property Trustee will irrevocably deposit with the Paying Agent, to the extent
available therefor, funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price and will give the
Paying Agent irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Redemption Price to the Holders of
the Trust Capital Securities upon surrender of their Trust Capital Securities Certificates.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Distributions payable on or prior to the Redemption Date for any
Trust Securities (or portion thereof) called for redemption shall be payable to the Holders of such
Trust Securities as they appear on the Securities Register on the relevant record dates for the
related Distribution Dates. If notice of redemption shall have been given and funds deposited as
required, then upon the date of such deposit, all rights of Holders holding Trust Securities (or
portion thereof) so called for redemption will cease, except the right of such Holders to receive
the Redemption Price and any Distribution payable in respect of the Trust Securities on or prior to
the Redemption Date, but without interest, and, in the case of a partial redemption, the right of
such Holders to receive a new Trust Security or Securities of authorized denominations, in an
aggregate Liquidation Amount equal to the unredeemed portion of such Trust Security or Securities,
and such Securities (or portion thereof) called for redemption will cease to be Outstanding. In
the event that any date on which any Redemption Price is payable is not a Business Day, then
payment of the Redemption Price payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding Business
Day (and no interest shall accrue in respect of the amounts whose payment is so delayed for the
period from and after each such date until the next succeeding Business Day) 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 (or portion thereof) called for redemption is improperly withheld or
refused and not paid either by the Trust or by the Depositor pursuant to the Guarantee Agreement,
Distributions on such Trust Securities(or portion thereof) will continue to accumulate, as set
forth in Section 4.1, from the Redemption Date originally established by the Trust for such
Trust Securities (or portion thereof)

- 21 -

 

to the date such Redemption Price is actually paid, in which case the actual payment date will
be the date fixed for redemption for purposes of calculating the Redemption Price.

     (e) Subject to Section 4.2(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 pro rata to the Common Securities and the Trust Capital Securities
based upon the relative aggregate Liquidation Amounts of the Common Securities and the Trust
Capital Securities. The Trust Capital Securities to be redeemed shall be redeemed on a pro rata
basis based upon their respective Liquidation Amounts not more than sixty (60) days prior to the
Redemption Date as determined by the Property Trustee from the Outstanding Trust Capital Securities
not previously called for redemption; provided, however, that with respect to Holders that would be
required to hold less than one hundred (100) but more than zero (0) Trust Securities as a result of
such redemption, the Trust shall redeem Trust Securities of each such Holder so that after such
redemption such Holder shall hold either one hundred (100) Trust Securities or such Holder no
longer holds any Trust Securities, and shall use such method (including, without limitation, by
lot) as the Trust shall deem fair and appropriate; and provided, further, that so long as the Trust
Capital Securities are Book-Entry Trust Capital Securities, such selection shall be made in
accordance with the Applicable Depositary Procedures for the Trust Capital Securities by such
Depositary. The Property Trustee shall promptly notify the Securities Registrar in writing of the
Trust Capital Securities (or portion thereof) selected for redemption and, in the case of any Trust
Capital 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 Trust Capital Securities shall relate, in the case of any Trust
Capital Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the aggregate
Liquidation Amount of Trust Capital Securities that has been or is to be redeemed.

     The Trust in issuing the Trust Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use),
and, if so, the Property Trustee shall indicate the “CUSIP” numbers of the Trust Securities in
notices of redemption and related materials as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such
notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as
printed on the Trust Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption and related

     SECTION 4.3. Subordination of Common Securities.

     (a) Payment of Distributions (including any Additional Interest Amounts) on, the Redemption
Price of and the Liquidation Distribution in respect of, the Trust Securities, as applicable, shall
be made, pro rata among the Common Securities and the Trust Capital Securities based on the
Liquidation Amount of the respective Trust Securities; provided that if on any Distribution Date,
Redemption Date or Liquidation Date a Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, no payment of any Distribution (including any Additional Interest
Amounts) on, Redemption Price of or Liquidation Distribution in respect of, any Common Security,
and no other payment on account of the redemption, liquidation or other acquisition of Common
Securities, shall be made unless payment in full in cash of all accumulated and unpaid
Distributions (including any Additional Interest Amounts) on all Outstanding Trust Capital
Securities for all Distribution Periods terminating on or prior thereto, or in the case of payment
of the Redemption Price the full

- 22 -

 

amount of such Redemption Price on all Outstanding Trust Capital Securities then called for
redemption, or in the case of payment of the Liquidation Distribution the full amount of such
Liquidation Distribution on all Outstanding Trust Capital Securities, shall have been made or
provided for, and all funds immediately available to the Property Trustee shall first be applied to
the payment in full in cash of all Distributions (including any Additional Interest Amounts) on, or
the Redemption Price of or the Liquidation Distribution in respect of, the Trust Capital Securities
then due and payable.

     (b) In the case of the occurrence of any Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Event of Default,
the Holders of the Common Securities shall have no right to act with respect to any such Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities Event of Default under this Trust Agreement until all such Events of
Default with respect to the Trust Capital Securities have been cured, waived or otherwise
eliminated. Until all such Events of Default under this Trust Agreement with respect to the Trust
Capital Securities have been so cured, waived or otherwise eliminated, the Property Trustee shall
act solely on behalf of the Holders of the Trust Capital Securities and not on behalf of the
Holders of the Common Securities, and only the Holders of a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the
Trust Capital Securities will have the right to direct the Property Trustee to act on their behalf.

     SECTION 4.4. Payment Procedures.

     Payments of Distributions (including any Additional Interest Amounts), the Redemption Price,
Liquidation Amount or any other amounts in respect of the Trust Capital Securities shall be made by
wire transfer at such place and to such account at a banking institution in the United States as
may be designated in writing at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date for payment by the
Person entitled thereto who is the Holder of the Trust Capital Securities having a Liquidation
Amount in excess of $5,000,000 unless proper written transfer instructions have not been received
by the relevant record date, in which case such payments shall be made by check mailed to the
address of such Person as such address shall appear in the Securities Register. If any Trust
Capital Securities are held by a Depositary, such Distributions thereon shall be made to the
Depositary in immediately available funds. Payments in respect of the Common Securities shall be
made in such manner as shall be mutually agreed between the Property Trustee and the Holder of all
the Common Securities.

     SECTION 4.5. Withholding Tax.

     The Trust and the Administrative Trustees shall comply with all withholding and backup
withholding tax requirements under United States federal, state and local law. The Administrative
Trustees on behalf of the Trust shall request, and the Holders shall provide to the Trust, such
forms or certificates as are necessary to establish an exemption from or reduction in withholding
and backup withholding tax with respect to each Holder and any representations and forms as shall
reasonably be requested by the Administrative Trustees on behalf of the Trust to assist it in
determining the extent of, and in fulfilling, its withholding and backup withholding tax
obligations. The Administrative Trustees shall file required forms with applicable jurisdictions
and, unless an exemption from withholding and backup withholding tax is properly established by a
Holder, shall remit amounts withheld with respect to the Holder to applicable jurisdictions. To
the extent that the Trust is required to withhold and pay over any amounts to

- 23 -

 

any jurisdiction with respect to Distributions or allocations to any Holder, including any
payments referred to in Section 4.7 hereof, the amount withheld shall be deemed to be a
Distribution in the amount of the withholding to the Holder. In the event of any claimed
overwithholding, Holders shall be limited to an action solely against the applicable taxing
jurisdiction. If the amount required to be withheld was not withheld from actual Distributions’
made, the Administrative Trustees on behalf of the Trust may reduce subsequent Distributions by the
amount of such required withholding.

     SECTION 4.6. Tax Returns and Other Reports.

     The Administrative Trustees shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) at the principal office of
the Trust in the United States, as defined for purposes of Treasury Regulations section 301.7701-7,
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. The
Administrative Trustees shall prepare at the principal office of the Trust in the United States, as
defined for purposes of Treasury regulations section 301.7701-7, and furnish (or cause to be
prepared and furnished), by January 31 in each taxable year of the Trust to each Holder all
Internal Revenue Service forms and returns required to be provided by the Trust. The
Administrative Trustees shall provide the Depositor and the Property Trustee with a copy of all
such returns and reports promptly after such filing or furnishing.

     SECTION 4.7. Payment of Taxes, Duties, Etc. of the Trust.

     Upon receipt under the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities of Additional Sums and upon the
written direction of the Administrative Trustees, the Property Trustee shall promptly pay, solely
out of monies on deposit pursuant to this Trust Agreement, any Additional Taxes imposed on the
Trust by the United States or any other taxing authority.

     SECTION 4.8. Payments under Indenture or Pursuant to Direct Actions.

     Any amount payable hereunder to any Holder of Trust Capital Securities shall be reduced by the
amount of any corresponding payment such Holder (or any Owner with respect thereto) has directly
received pursuant to Section 5.8 of the Indenture or Section 6.10(b) of this Trust
Agreement.

     SECTION 4.9. Calculation Agent.

     (a) The Property Trustee shall initially, and for so long as it holds any of the Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities, be the Calculation Agent for purposes of determining LIBOR for each
Distribution Date. The Calculation Agent may be removed by the Administrative Trustees at any
time. If the Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to act as such or is removed by the
Administrative Trustees, the Administrative Trustees will promptly appoint as a replacement
Calculation Agent the London office of a leading bank which is engaged in transactions in
three-month Eurodollar deposits in the international Eurodollar market and which does not control
or is not controlled by or under common control with the Administrative Trustees or their
Affiliates. The Calculation Agent may not resign its duties without a successor having been duly
appointed.

- 24 -

 

     (b) The Calculation Agent shall be required to agree that, as soon as possible after 11:00
a.m. (London time) on each LIBOR Determination Date, but in no event later than 11:00 a.m. (London
time) on the Business Day immediately following each LIBOR Determination Date, the Calculation
Agent will calculate the distribution rate (rounded to the nearest cent, with half a cent being
rounded upwards) for the related Distribution Date, and will communicate such rate and amount to
the Depositor, Trustee, each Paying Agent and the Depositary. The Calculation Agent will also
specify to the Administrative Trustees the quotations upon which the foregoing rates and amounts
are based and, in any event, the Calculation Agent shall notify the Administrative Trustees before
5:00 p.m. (London time) on each LIBOR Determination Date of its determination of One-Month LIBOR
for the next succeeding Distribution Period in accordance with Schedule A hereto and the
manner and calculation of the foregoing rates and amounts, together with its reasons therefor. The
Calculation Agent’s determination of the foregoing rates and amounts for any Distribution Date will
(in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding upon all parties. For the sole purpose of
calculating the distribution rate for the Trust Securities for any Distribution Periods ending
after September 15, 2047, “Business Day” shall be defined as any day on which dealings in
deposits in Dollars are transacted in the London interbank market.

     SECTION 4.10. Certain Accounting Matters.

     (a) At all times during the existence of the Trust, the Administrative Trustees shall keep, or
cause to be kept at the principal office of the Trust in the United States, as defined for purposes
of Treasury Regulations section 301.7701-7, full books of account, records and supporting
documents, which shall reflect in reasonable detail each transaction of the Trust. The books of
account shall be maintained on the accrual method of accounting, in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, consistently applied.

     (b) The Administrative Trustees shall either (i) if the Depositor is then subject to such
reporting requirements, cause each Form 10-K and Form 10-Q prepared by the Depositor and filed with
the Commission in accordance with the Exchange Act to be delivered to each Holder, with a copy to
the Property Trustee, within thirty (30) days after the filing thereof or (ii) cause to be prepared
at the principal office of the Trust in the United States, as defined for purposes of Treasury
Regulations section 301.7701-7, and delivered to each of the Holders, with a copy to the Property
Trustee, within ninety (90) days after the end of each Fiscal Year, annual financial statements of
the Trust, including a balance sheet of the Trust as of the end of such Fiscal Year, and the
related statements of income or loss.

     (c) The Trust shall maintain one or more non-interest bearing bank accounts in the United
States, as defined for purposes of Treasury Regulations section 301.7701-7, in the name and for the
sole benefit of the Trust; provided, however, that all payments of funds in respect
of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities held by the Property Trustee shall be made directly to
the Payment Account and no other funds of the Trust shall be deposited in the Payment Account. The
sole signatories for such accounts (including the Payment Account) shall be designated by the
Property Trustee.

Securities

     SECTION 5.1. Initial Ownership.

     SECTION 5.2. Authorized Trust Securities.

     The Trust shall be authorized to issue one series of Trust Capital Securities having an
aggregate Liquidation Amount of $517,500,000 (including the securities sold pursuant to the
Underwriters’ overallotment option as exercised in full) and one series of Common Securities having
an aggregate Liquidation Amount of $1,000,000.

     SECTION 5.3. Issuance of the Common Securities; Purchase of Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities.

     On the Closing Date, an Administrative Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall execute and
deliver to the Depositor, Common Securities Certificates, registered in the name of the Depositor,
evidencing an aggregate of 1,000 Common Securities having an aggregate Liquidation Amount of
$1,000,000, for such Common Securities having an aggregate Liquidation Amount of $1,000,000.
Contemporaneously therewith and with the sale by the Trust to the Holders of an aggregate of
20,700,000 Trust Capital Securities having an aggregate Liquidation Amount of $517,500,000, which
includes the exercise by the Underwriters of their overallotment option, an Administrative Trustee,
on behalf of the Trust, shall subscribe for and purchase from the Depositor, Junior Subordinated
Debt Securities, to be registered in the name of the Property Trustee on behalf of the Trust and
having an aggregate principal amount equal to $517,500,000, and, in satisfaction of the purchase
price for such Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, the Property Trustee, on behalf of the Trust,
shall deliver to the Depositor the sum of $518,500,000 (being the aggregate amount paid by the
Holders for the Trust Capital Securities and the amount paid by the Depositor for the Common
Securities).

     SECTION 5.4. The Securities Certificates.

     (a) The Trust Capital Securities Certificates shall be issued in minimum denominations of
$25.00 Liquidation Amount and integral multiples of $25.00 in excess thereof, and the Common

the Trust shall be validly issued and entitled to the benefits of this Trust Agreement,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so authorized prior to
the delivery of such Securities Certificates or did not have such authority at the date of delivery
of such Securities Certificates.

- 26 -

 

     (b) On the Closing Date, upon the written order of an authorized officer of the Depositor, the
Administrative Trustees shall cause Securities Certificates to be executed on behalf of the Trust
and delivered, without further corporate action by the Depositor, in authorized denominations.

     (c) The Trust Capital Securities shall be, except as provided in Section 5.6, Book-Entry Trust
Capital Securities issued in the form of one or more Global Trust Capital Securities registered in
the name of the Depositary, or its nominee and deposited with the Depositary or a custodian for the
Depositary for credit by the Depositary to the respective accounts of the Depositary Participants
thereof (or such other accounts as they may direct).

     (d) A Trust Capital Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of
an Authorized Officer of the Property Trustee. Such signature shall be conclusive evidence that
the Trust Capital Security has been authenticated under this Trust Agreement. Upon written order
of the Trust signed by one Administrative Trustee, the Property Trustee shall authenticate the
Trust Capital Securities for original issue. The Property Trustee may appoint an authenticating
agent that is a U.S. Person acceptable to the Trust to authenticate the Trust Capital Securities.
A Common Security need not be so authenticated and shall be valid upon execution by one or more
Administrative Trustees. The form of this certificate of authentication can be found in Section
5.13.

     SECTION 5.5. Rights of Holders.

     The Trust Securities shall have no preemptive or similar rights and when issued and delivered
to Holders against payment of the purchase price therefor will be fully paid and non-assessable by
the Trust. Except as provided in Section 5.11(b), the Holders of the Trust Securities, in
their capacities as such, shall be entitled to the same limitation of personal liability extended
to stockholders of private corporations for profit organized under the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware.

     SECTION 5.6. Book-Entry Trust Capital Securities.

     (a) A Global Preferred Security may be exchanged, in whole or in part, for Definitive
Preferred Securities Certificates registered in the names of the Owners only if such exchange
complies with Section 5.7 and (i) the Depositary advises the Administrative Trustees and
the Property Trustee in writing that the Depositary is no longer willing or able properly to
discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Global Preferred Security, and no qualified
successor is appointed by the Administrative Trustees within ninety (90) days of receipt of such
notice, (ii) the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and
the Administrative Trustees fail to appoint a qualified successor within ninety (90) days of
obtaining knowledge of such event, or (iii) the Administrative Trustees at their option advise the
Property Trustee in writing that the Trust elects to terminate the book-entry system through the
Depositary. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above,
the Administrative Trustees shall notify the Depositary and instruct the Depositary to notify all
Owners of Book-Entry Preferred Securities, the Delaware Trustee and the Property Trustee of the
occurrence of such event and of the availability of the Definitive Preferred Securities
Certificates to Owners of the Preferred Securities requesting the same. Upon the issuance of

- 27 -

 

Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates, the Trustees shall recognize the Holders of the
Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates as Holders.

     (b) If any Global Preferred Security is to be exchanged for Definitive Preferred Securities
Certificates or canceled in part, or if any Definitive Preferred Securities Certificate is to be
exchanged in whole or in part for any 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 aggregate Liquidation Amount represented by such Global Preferred
Security shall be reduced, subject to Section 5.4, or increased by an amount equal to the
Liquidation Amount represented by that portion of the Global Preferred Security to be so exchanged
or canceled, or equal to the Liquidation Amount represented by such Definitive Preferred Securities
Certificates to be so exchanged for any Global Preferred Security, 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 Applicable Depositary Procedures, shall instruct the Depositary or
its authorized representative to make a corresponding adjustment to its records. Upon any such
surrender to the Administrative Trustees or the Securities Registrar of any Global Preferred
Security or Securities by the Depositary, accompanied by registration instructions, the
Administrative Trustees, or any one of them, shall execute the Definitive Preferred Securities
Certificates in accordance with the instructions of the Depositary. None of the Securities
Registrar or the Trustees shall 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.

     (c) Every Securities Certificate executed and delivered upon registration or transfer of, or
in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Preferred Security or any portion thereof shall be executed
and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Preferred Security, unless such Securities
Certificate is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global
Preferred Security or a nominee thereof.

     (d) The Depositary or its nominee, as registered owner of a Global Security, shall be the
Holder of such Global Security for all purposes under this Trust Agreement and the Global Security,
and Owners with respect to a Global Security shall hold such interests pursuant to the Applicable
Depositary Procedures. The Securities Registrar and the Trustees shall be entitled to deal with
the Depositary for all purposes of this Trust Agreement relating to the Global Trust Capital
Securities (including the payment of the Liquidation Amount of and Distributions on the Book-Entry
Trust Capital Securities represented thereby and the giving of instructions or directions by Owners
of Book-Entry Trust Capital Securities represented thereby and the giving of notices) as the sole
Holder of the Book-Entry Trust Capital Securities represented thereby and shall have no obligations
to the Owners thereof. None of the Depositor, the Trustees nor the Securities Registrar shall have
any liability in respect of any transfers effected by the Depositary.

     (e) The rights of the Owners of the Book-Entry Trust Capital Securities shall be exercised
only through the Depositary and shall be limited to those established by law, the Applicable
Depositary Procedures and agreements between such Owners and the Depositary and/or the Depositary
Participants; provided, solely for the purpose of determining whether the Holders of the requisite
amount of Trust Capital Securities have voted on any matter provided for in this Trust Agreement,
to the extent that Trust Capital Securities are represented by a

- 28 -

 

Global Security, the Trustees may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in
relying on, any written instrument (including a proxy) delivered to the Property Trustee by the
Depositary setting forth the Owners’ votes or assigning the right to vote on any matter to any
other Persons either in whole or in part. To the extent that Trust Capital Securities are
represented by a Global Security, the initial Depositary will make book-entry transfers among the
Depositary Participants and receive and transmit payments on the Trust Capital Securities that are
represented by a Global Security to such Depositary Participants, and none of the Depositor or the
Trustees shall have any responsibility or obligation with respect thereto.

     (f) To the extent that a notice or other communication to the Holders is required under this
Trust Agreement, for so long as Trust Capital Securities are represented by a Global Security, the
Trustees shall give all such notices and communications to the Depositary, and shall have no
obligations to the Owners.

     SECTION 5.7. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Trust Capital Securities Certificates.

     (a) The Property Trustee shall keep or cause to be kept, at the Corporate Trust Office, a
register or registers (the “Securities Register”) in which the registrar and transfer agent
with respect to the Trust Securities (the “Securities Registrar”), subject to such
reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, shall provide for the registration of Trust Capital
Securities Certificates and Common Securities Certificates and registration of transfers and
exchanges of Trust Capital Securities Certificates as herein provided. The Person acting as the
Property Trustee shall at all times also be the Securities Registrar. The provisions of
Article VIII shall apply to the Property Trustee in its role as Securities Registrar.

     (b) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Trust Capital Securities Certificate at
the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 5.7(f), the Administrative Trustees or
any one of them shall execute by manual or facsimile signature and deliver to the Property Trustee,
and the Property Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee
or transferees, one or more new Trust Capital Securities Certificates in authorized denominations
of a like aggregate Liquidation Amount as may be required by this Trust Agreement dated the date of
execution by such Administrative Trustee or Trustees. At the option of a Holder, Trust Capital
Securities Certificates may be exchanged for other Trust Capital Securities Certificates in
authorized denominations and of a like aggregate Liquidation Amount upon surrender of the Trust
Capital Securities Certificate to be exchanged at the office or agency maintained pursuant to
Section 5.7(f). Whenever any Trust Capital Securities Certificates are so surrendered for
exchange, the Administrative Trustees or any one of them shall execute by manual or facsimile
signature and deliver to the Property Trustee, and the Property Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, the Trust Capital Securities Certificates that the Holder making the exchange is entitled
to receive.

     (c) The Securities Registrar shall not be required, (i) to issue, register the transfer of or
exchange any Trust Capital Security during a period beginning at the opening of business fifteen
(15) days before the day of selection for redemption of such Trust Capital Securities pursuant to
Article IV and ending at the close of business on the day of mailing of the notice of
redemption or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Trust Capital Security so selected

- 29 -

 

for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any such Trust Capital Security to
be redeemed in part, any portion thereof not to be redeemed.

     (d) Every Trust Capital Securities Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
in form satisfactory to the Securities Registrar duly executed by the Holder or such Holder’s
attorney duly authorized in writing.

     (e) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Trust
Capital Securities Certificates, but the Property Trustee on behalf of the Trust may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Trust Capital Securities Certificates.

     (f) The Administrative Trustees shall designate an office or offices or agency or agencies
where Trust Capital Securities Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange, and initially designate the Corporate Trust Office as its office and agency for such
purposes. The Administrative Trustees shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor, the
Property Trustee and to the Holders of any change in the location of any such office or agency.

     SECTION 5.8. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Securities Certificates.

     (a) If any mutilated Securities Certificate shall be surrendered to the Securities Registrar
together with such security or indemnity as may be required by the Securities Registrar and the
Administrative Trustees to save each of them harmless, the Administrative Trustees, or any one of
them, on behalf of the Trust, shall execute and make available for delivery in exchange therefor a
new Securities Certificate of like class, tenor and denomination.

     (b) If the Securities Registrar shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction,
loss or theft of any Securities Certificate and there shall be delivered to the Securities
Registrar and the Administrative Trustees such security or indemnity as may be required by them to
save each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice that such 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, with respect to Trust
Capital Securities, the Property Trustee shall authenticate, in exchange for or in lieu of any such
destroyed, lost or stolen Securities Certificate, a new Securities Certificate of like class, tenor
and denomination.

     (c) In connection with the issuance of any new Securities Certificate under this Section
5.8, 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, which shall be treated as a Distribution to the applicable Holder and reduce any
subsequent Distributions payable to such Holder by the amount of such tax or charge.

     (d) Any duplicate Securities Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.8 shall
constitute conclusive evidence of an undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the Trust
corresponding to that evidenced by the mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Securities Certificate,

- 30 -

 

as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Securities Certificate
shall be found at any time.

     (e) If any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become
due and payable, the Depositor in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such
Security.

     (f) The provisions of this Section 5.8 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent
lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement of mutilated, destroyed, lost
or stolen Securities Certificates.

     SECTION 5.9. Persons Deemed Holders.

     The Trustees and the Securities Registrar shall each treat the Person in whose name any
Securities Certificate shall be registered in the Securities Register as the owner of such
Securities Certificate for the purpose of receiving Distributions and for all other purposes
whatsoever, except that if the beneficial owner is a different Person, then that beneficial owner
shall be the owner for purposes of Section 4.5 and Section 4.6, and none of the
Trustees and the Securities Registrar shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.

     SECTION 5.10. Cancellation.

     All Trust Capital Securities Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
or for payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Property Trustee, be delivered to
the Property Trustee, and any such Trust Capital Securities Certificates and Trust Capital
Securities Certificates surrendered directly to the Property Trustee for any such purpose shall be
promptly canceled by it. The Administrative Trustees may at any time deliver to the Property
Trustee for cancellation any Trust Capital Securities Certificates previously delivered hereunder
that the Administrative Trustees may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Trust Capital
Securities Certificates so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Property Trustee. No Trust
Capital Securities Certificates shall be executed and delivered in lieu of or in exchange for any
Trust Capital Securities Certificates canceled as provided in this Section 5.10, except as
expressly permitted by this Trust Agreement. All canceled Trust Capital Securities Certificates
shall be disposed of by the Property Trustee in accordance with its customary practices and the
Property Trustee shall deliver to the Administrative Trustees upon their request therefor a
certificate of such disposition.

     SECTION 5.11. Ownership of Common Securities by Depositor.

     (a) On the Closing Date, the Depositor shall acquire, and thereafter shall retain, beneficial
and record ownership of the Common Securities. Neither the Depositor nor any successor Holder of
the Common Securities may transfer less than all the Common Securities, and the Depositor or any
such successor Holder may transfer the Common Securities only (i) in connection with a
consolidation or merger of the Depositor into another Person, or any conveyance, transfer or lease
by the Depositor of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person (in which
event such Common Securities will be transferred to such surviving entity, transferee or lessee, as
the case may be), pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Indenture or (ii) to the Depositor or an
Affiliate of the Depositor, in each such case in

- 31 -

 

compliance with applicable law (including the Securities Act, and applicable state securities
and blue sky laws). To the fullest extent permitted by law, any attempted transfer of the Common
Securities other than as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall be void. The
Administrative Trustees shall cause each Common Securities Certificate issued to the Depositor to
contain a legend stating substantially “THIS CERTIFICATE IS NOT TRANSFERABLE EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE
WITH APPLICABLE LAW AND SECTION 5.11 OF THE TRUST AGREEMENT.”

     (b) Any Holder of the Common Securities shall be liable for the debts and obligations of the
Trust in the manner and to the extent set forth herein with respect to the Depositor and agrees
that it shall be subject to all liabilities to which the Depositor may be subject.

     SECTION 5.12. Legends.

     (a) Each Trust Capital Security Certificate shall bear a legend in substantially the following
form:

“THIS SECURITY IS A GLOBAL SECURITY WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE TRUST AGREEMENT HEREINAFTER
REFERRED TO AND IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY (“DTC”) OR A
NOMINEE OF DTC. THIS SECURITY IS EXCHANGEABLE FOR SECURITIES REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A
PERSON OTHER THAN DTC OR ITS NOMINEE ONLY IN THE LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED IN THE
TRUST AGREEMENT, AND NO TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY (OTHER THAN A TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY AS
A WHOLE BY DTC TO A NOMINEE OF DTC OR BY A NOMINEE OF DTC TO DTC OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF DTC)
MAY BE REGISTERED EXCEPT IN LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES.

UNLESS THIS SECURITY IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC TO NATIONAL CITY
CAPITAL TRUST IV OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY
SECURITY ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS REQUESTED
BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT HEREON IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO
SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER,
PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH
AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.

THIS OBLIGATION IS NOT A DEPOSIT AND IS NOT INSURED BY THE UNITED STATES OR ANY AGENCY OR
FUND OF THE UNITED STATES, INCLUDING THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION.”

     SECTION 5.13. Form of Certificate of Authentication.

     The Property Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be in substantially the following
form:

- 32 -

 

     This is one of the Trust Capital Securities referred to in the within-mentioned Trust
Agreement.

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	Dated:	 	THE BANK OF NEW YORK TRUST 
COMPANY, N.A., not in its individual

capacity, but solely as Property Trustee	 	 
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 
	 

	 	By:

ARTICLE VI

Meetings; Voting; Acts Of Holders

     SECTION 6.1. Notice of Meetings.

     Notice of all meetings of the Holders of the Trust Capital Securities, stating the time, place
and purpose of the meeting, shall be given by the Property Trustee pursuant to Section 10.8
to each Holder of Trust Capital Securities, at such Holder’s 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 6.2. Meetings of Holders of the Trust Capital Securities.

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

     (b) The Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Capital Securities,
present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of the Holders of the Trust
Capital Securities.

     (c) If a quorum is present at a meeting, an affirmative vote by the Holders present, in person
or by proxy, holding Trust Capital Securities representing at least a Majority in Liquidation
Amount of the Trust Capital Securities held by the Holders present, either in person or by proxy,
at such meeting shall constitute the action of the Holders of the Trust Capital Securities, unless
this Trust Agreement requires a lesser or greater number of affirmative votes.

     SECTION 6.3. Voting Rights.

- 33 -

 

     Holders shall be entitled to one vote for each $25.00 of Liquidation Amount represented by
their Outstanding Trust Securities in respect of any matter as to which such Holders are entitled
to vote.

     SECTION 6.4. Proxies.

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

     SECTION 6.5. Holder Action by Written Consent.

     Any action that may be taken by Holders at a meeting may be taken without a meeting and
without prior notice if Holders holding at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of all Trust
Capital Securities entitled to vote in respect of such action (or such lesser or greater proportion
thereof as shall be required by any other provision of this Trust Agreement) shall consent to the
action in writing; provided that notice of such action is promptly provided to the Holders of Trust
Capital Securities that did not consent to such action. Any action that may be taken by the
Holders of all the Common Securities may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice if
such Holders shall consent to the action in writing.

     SECTION 6.6. Record Date for Voting and Other Purposes.

     Except as provided in Section 6.9(a), for the purposes of determining the Holders who
are entitled to notice of and to vote at any meeting or to act 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 may from time to time fix a date, not more than ninety (90) days prior to
the date of any meeting of Holders or the payment of a Distribution or other action, as the case
may be, as a record date for the determination of the identity of the Holders of record for such
purposes.

     SECTION 6.7. Acts of Holders.

     (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 Holders may be embodied
in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders
in person or by an agent thereof duly appointed in writing; and, except as

- 34 -

 

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 Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any
such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of
this Trust Agreement and conclusive in favor of the Trustees, if made in the manner provided in
this Section 6.7.

     (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 the execution thereof. Where such execution
is by a signer acting in a capacity other than such signer’s individual capacity, such certificate
or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of such signer’s authority. The fact and date
of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the
same, may also be proved in any other manner that any Trustee receiving the same deems sufficient.

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

     (d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the
Holder of any Trust Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Trust Security and the
Holder of every Trust Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange
therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the
Trustees, the Administrative 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 Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder
with regard to any particular Trust Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the
Liquidation Amount of such Trust Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may
do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such Liquidation Amount.

     (f) If any dispute shall arise among the Holders or the Trustees with respect to the
authenticity, validity or binding nature of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other Act of such Holder or Trustee under this Article VI, then the
determination of such matter by the Property Trustee shall be conclusive with respect to such
matter.

     SECTION 6.8. Inspection of Records.

     Upon reasonable written notice to the Administrative Trustees and the Property Trustee, the
records of the Trust shall be open to inspection by any Holder during normal business hours for any
purpose reasonably related to such Holder’s interest as a Holder.

     SECTION 6.9. Limitations on Voting Rights.

- 35 -

 

     (a) Except as expressly provided in this Trust Agreement and in the Indenture and as otherwise
required by law, no Holder of Trust Capital Securities shall have any right to vote or in any
manner otherwise control the purposes, administration, operation and management of the Trust or the
obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth, or contained herein or in
the terms of the Securities Certificates, be construed so as to constitute the Holders from time to
time as partners or members of an association.

     (b) So long as any Junior Subordinated Debt Securities are held by the Property Trustee on
behalf of the Trust, the Property Trustee shall not (i) direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities
Trustee, or exercise any trust or power conferred on the Property Trustee with respect to the
Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, (ii) waive any past default that may be waived under Section
5.13 of the Indenture, (iii) exercise any right to rescind or annul a declaration that the
principal of all the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities shall be due and payable or (iv) consent
to any amendment, modification or termination of the Indenture or the Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities, where such consent shall be required, without, in each case, obtaining the prior
approval of the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Capital
Securities; provided that where a consent under the Indenture would require the consent of each
holder of Junior Subordinated Debt Securities (or each Holder of Trust Capital Securities) affected
thereby, no such consent shall be given by the Property Trustee without the prior written consent
of each Holder of Trust Capital Securities. The Property Trustee shall not revoke any action
previously authorized or approved by a vote of the Holders of the Trust Capital Securities, except
by a subsequent vote of the Holders of the Trust Capital Securities. In addition to obtaining the
foregoing approvals of the Holders of the Trust Capital Securities, prior to taking any of the
foregoing actions, the Property Trustee shall, at the expense of the Depositor, obtain an Opinion
of Counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that such action shall not cause the Trust to
be taxable as a corporation or classified as other than a grantor trust for United States federal
income tax purposes.

     (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 Trust Capital 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 Outstanding Trust Capital
Securities as a class will be entitled to vote on such amendment or proposal and such amendment or
proposal shall not be effective except with the approval of the Holders of at least a Majority in
Liquidation Amount of the Trust Capital Securities. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Trust Agreement, no amendment to this Trust Agreement may be made if, as a result of such
amendment, it would cause the Trust to be taxable as a corporation or classified as other than a
grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes.

     SECTION 6.10. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission of Annulment; Waivers of Past Defaults.

     (a) For so long as any Trust Capital Securities remain Outstanding, if, upon a Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities Event of Default pursuant to paragraphs of Section 5.1 of the

- 36 -

 

Indenture, the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Trustee fails or the holders of not less
than twenty-five percent (25%) in principal amount of the outstanding Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities fail to declare the principal of all of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities to be
immediately due and payable, the Holders of at least twenty-five percent (25%) in Liquidation
Amount of the Trust Capital Securities then Outstanding shall have the right to make such
declaration by a notice in writing to the Property Trustee, the Depositor and the Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities Trustee. If the Property Trustee fails to enforce its rights under
the Indenture, any Holder of Trust Capital Securities may, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, institute a legal proceeding against the Depositor to enforce the Property Trustee’s rights
under the Indenture without first instituting legal proceedings against the Property Trustee or any
other person. If a Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Event of Default has occurred due to
Depositor’s failure to pay interest in full on the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities for a period
of 30 days after the conclusion of the 10-year period following the commencement of any Extension
Period, than a registered Holder of Trust Capital Securities may institute a direct action on or
after the due date directly against the Depositor for enforcement of payment of the principal of,
or interest on, the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities to that Holder with respect to Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities having a principal amount equal to the total liquidation amount of
that Holder’s Trust Capital Securities. If such a Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Event of
Default occurs, a majority in Liquidation Amount of the Holders of the Trust Capital Securities
shall be entitled to remove or appoint the Property Trustee and the Delaware Trustee.

     At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been
obtained by the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Trustee as provided in the Indenture, the
Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Capital Securities, by written
notice to the Property Trustee, the Depositor and the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Trustee,
may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

     (i) the Depositor has paid or deposited with the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities
Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:

     (A) all overdue installments of interest on all of the Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities;

     (B) any accrued Additional Interest on all of the Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities;

     (C) the principal of any Junior Subordinated Debt Securities that have become
due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest and Additional
Interest thereon at the rate borne by the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities; and

     (D) all sums paid or advanced by the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities
Trustee under the Indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Trustee, the Property
Trustee and their agents and counsel; and

- 37 -

 

     (ii) all Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Events of Default, other than the
non-payment of the principal of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities that has become due
solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13
of the Indenture.

     Upon receipt by the Property Trustee of written notice requesting such an acceleration, or
rescission and annulment thereof, by Holders of any part of the Trust Capital Securities, a record
date shall be established for determining Holders of Outstanding Trust Capital Securities entitled
to join in such notice, which record date shall be at the close of business on the day the Property
Trustee receives such notice. The Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies,
and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such notice, whether or not such Holders remain
Holders after such record date; provided that, unless such declaration of acceleration, or
rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall have become effective by virtue of the
requisite percentage having joined in such notice prior to the day that is ninety (90) days after
the Depositor has paid or deposited with the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Trustee a sum
sufficient on such record date, such notice of declaration of acceleration, or rescission and
annulment, as the case may be, shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be
canceled and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a Holder, or a proxy of
a Holder, from giving, after expiration of such ninety (90)-day period, a new written notice of
declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof, as the case may be, that is
identical to a written notice that has been canceled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding
sentence, in which event a new record date shall be established pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 6.10(a).

     (b) For so long as any Trust Capital Securities remain Outstanding, to the fullest extent
permitted by law and subject to the terms of this Trust Agreement and the Indenture, upon a Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities Event of Default specified in Section 5.1 of the Indenture, as
supplemented by Section 2.1(j) and Section 5.3 of the Supplemental Indenture any Holder of Trust
Capital Securities shall have the right to institute a proceeding directly against the Depositor,
pursuant to Section 5.8 of the Indenture, for enforcement of payment to such Holder of any
amounts payable in respect of Junior Subordinated Debt Securities having an aggregate principal
amount equal to the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Trust Capital Securities of such Holder.
Except as set forth in Section 6.10(a) and this Section 6.10(b) hereof, the Holders
of Trust Capital Securities shall have no right to exercise directly any right or remedy available
to the holders of, or in respect of, the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities.

     (c) Notwithstanding paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 6.10, the Holders of at
least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Capital Securities may, on behalf of the
Holders of all the Trust Capital Securities, waive any Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Event of
Default, except any Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Event of Default arising from the failure
to pay any principal of or any premium or interest on (including any Additional Interest) the
Junior Subordinated Debt Securities (unless such Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Event of
Default has been cured and a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest and all
principal and premium on all Junior Subordinated Debt Securities due otherwise than by acceleration
has been deposited with the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Trustee) or a Junior Subordinated
Debt Securities Event of Default in respect of a covenant or provision that under the Indenture
cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each

- 38 -

 

outstanding Junior Subordinated Debt Securities. Upon any such waiver, such Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities Event of Default shall cease to exist and any Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose
of the Indenture; but no such waiver shall affect any subsequent Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

     (d) Notwithstanding paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 6.10, the Holders of at
least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Capital Securities may, on behalf of the
Holders of all the Trust Capital Securities, waive any past Event of Default and its consequences.
Upon such waiver, any such Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Event of Default shall cease to
exist, and any Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Event of Default arising therefrom shall be
deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Trust Agreement, but no such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Event of Default or impair
any right consequent thereon.

     (e) The Holders of a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Capital Securities shall have
the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Property Trustee in respect of this Trust Agreement or the Junior Subordinated
Debt Securities or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Property Trustee under this
Trust Agreement; provided that, subject to Sections 8.5 and 8.7 hereof, the
Property Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Property
Trustee being advised by counsel determines that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken,
or if the Property Trustee in good faith shall, by an officer or officers of the Property Trustee,
determine that the proceedings so directed would be illegal or involve it in personal liability or
be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders not party to such direction, and provided, further,
that nothing in this Trust Agreement shall impair the right of the Property Trustee to take any
action deemed proper by the Property Trustee and which is not inconsistent with such direction.

     SECTION 8.1. Number of Trustees.

     The number of Trustees shall be five (5), provided, that the Property Trustee and the Delaware
Trustee may be the same Person, in which case the number of Trustees shall be four (4). The number
of Trustees may be increased or decreased by Act of the Holder of the Common Securities subject to

States. If any such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually pursuant to law or to
the requirements of its supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this
Section 8.2, 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

this Section 8.2, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter
specified in this Article VIII.

bind such entity. If at any time the Delaware Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 8.3, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with
the effect hereinafter specified in this Article VIII.

     (b) The Delaware Trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any powers, nor shall the Delaware
Trustee have any of the duties and responsibilities, of the Property Trustee or the Administrative
Trustees set forth herein. The Delaware Trustee shall be one of the trustees of the Trust for the
sole and limited purpose of fulfilling the requirements of Section 3807 of the Delaware Statutory
Trust Act and for taking such actions as are required to be taken by a Delaware trustee under the
Delaware Statutory Trust Act. The duties (including fiduciary duties), liabilities and obligations
of the Delaware Trustee shall be limited to (a) accepting legal process served on the Trust in the
State of Delaware and (b) the execution of any certificates required to be filed with the Secretary
of State of the State of Delaware that the Delaware Trustee is required to execute under Section
3811 of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act and there shall be no other duties (including fiduciary
duties) or obligations, express or implied, at law or in equity, of the Delaware Trustee.

     SECTION 8.4. Appointment of Administrative Trustees.

     (a) 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

this Trust Agreement hereby accepts his or her appointment as such.

     (b) Except where a requirement for action by a specific number of Administrative Trustees is
expressly set forth in this Trust Agreement, any act required or permitted to be taken

- 42 -

 

by, and any power of the Administrative Trustees may be exercised by, or with the consent of,
any one such Administrative Trustee. Whenever a vacancy in the number of Administrative Trustees
shall occur, until such vacancy is filled by the appointment of an Administrative Trustee in
accordance with Section 8.11, the Administrative Trustees in office, regardless of their number
(and notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust 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 8.5. Duties and Responsibilities of the Trustees.

     (a) The rights, immunities, duties and responsibilities of the Trustees shall be as provided
by this Trust Agreement and there shall be no other duties (including fiduciary duties) or
obligations, express or implied, at law or in equity, of the Trustees; provided, however, that if a
Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Event of Default known to the Property Trustee has occurred and
is continuing, the Property Trustee shall, prior to the receipt of directions, if any, from the
Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Capital Securities, exercise such
of the rights and powers vested in it by this Trust Agreement, and use the same degree of care and
skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the
conduct of such person’s own affairs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Trust
Agreement shall require any of the Trustees to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any
financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of
its or their rights or powers, if it or they shall have reasonable grounds for believing that
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to it. Whether or not herein expressly so provided, every provision of this Trust
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 8.5. To the extent that, at
law or in equity, a Trustee has duties and liabilities relating to the Trust or to the Holders,
such Trustee shall not be liable to the Trust or to any Holder 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 Trustees otherwise existing at law or
in equity, are agreed by the Depositor and the Holders to replace such other duties and liabilities
of the Trustees.

     (b) All payments made by the Property Trustee or a Paying Agent in respect of the Trust
Securities shall be made only from the revenue and proceeds from the Trust Property and only to the
extent that there shall be sufficient revenue or proceeds from the Trust Property to enable the
Property Trustee or a Paying Agent to make payments in accordance with the terms hereof. Each
Holder, by its acceptance of a Trust Security, agrees that it will look solely to the revenue and
proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent legally available for distribution to it as herein
provided and that the 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 8.5(b) does not limit the liability of the Trustees expressly set forth elsewhere
in this Trust Agreement.

     (c) No provisions of this Trust Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Property Trustee
from liability with respect to matters that are within the authority of the Property Trustee

- 43 -

 

under this Trust Agreement for its own negligent action, negligent failure to act or willful
misconduct, except that:

     (i) the Property Trustee shall not be liable for any error or 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
at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Capital Securities relating to the
time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Property
Trustee hereunder or under the Indenture, 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 Junior Subordinated Debt Securities 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;

     (iv) the Property Trustee shall not be liable for any interest on any money received by
it except as it may otherwise agree in writing with the Depositor; and money held by the
Property Trustee need not be segregated from other funds held by it except in relation to
the Payment Account maintained by the Property Trustee pursuant to Section 3.1 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 default or misconduct of any
other Trustee or the Depositor.

     SECTION 8.6. Notices of Defaults and Extensions.

     (a) Except as provided in Section 6.10, within ninety (90) days after the occurrence
of a Default (as defined below in this Section 8.6(a)) actually known to the Property Trustee, the
Property Trustee shall transmit notice of such default to the Holders, the Administrative Trustees
and the Depositor, unless such default shall have been cured or waived; provided that, except in
the case of a default in the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest (including any
Additional Interest) on any Trust Security, the Property Trustee shall be fully protected in
withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a
trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Property Trustee in good faith
determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Trust
Securities. For the purpose of this Section 8.6, the term “Default” means any Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities Event of Default.

     (b) The Depositor will give the Property Trustee written notice of any deferral of interest on
the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities and the corresponding deferral of Distribution on the Trust
Securities, at least 10 and not more than 15 Business Day prior to the

- 44 -

 

applicable Distribution Date. Within three (3) Business Days after the receipt of notice of
the Depositor’s exercise of its right to defer the payment of interest on the Junior Subordinated
Debt Securities pursuant to the Supplemental Indenture, the Property Trustee shall transmit, in the
manner and to the extent provided in Section 10.8, notice of such exercise to the Holders
and the Administrative Trustees, unless such exercise shall have been revoked.

     (c) The Property Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities Event of Default unless the Property Trustee shall have received written notice thereof
from the Depositor, any Administrative Trustee or any Holder or unless an officer of the Property
Trustee charged with the administration of this Trust Agreement shall have obtained actual
knowledge of such Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Event of Default.

     (d) The Property Trustee shall notify all Holders of the Trust Capital Securities of any
notice of Default received with respect to the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities.

     SECTION 8.7. Certain Rights of Property Trustee. Subject to the provisions of Section
8.5:

     (a) the Property Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or
refraining from acting in good faith and in accordance with the terms hereof upon any resolution,

auditors or any other resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,

Trust Capital Securities are entitled to vote under the terms of this Trust Agreement, the Property
Trustee shall deliver a notice to the Depositor requesting the Depositor’s written instruction 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, 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, the Property Trustee may, but
shall be under no duty to, take such action, or refrain from taking such action, as the Property
Trustee shall deem advisable and in the best interests of the Holders, in which event the Property
Trustee shall have no liability except for its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct;

sufficiently evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate unless otherwise expressly provided herein;

indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses) and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such
request or direction, including reasonable advances as may be requested by the Property Trustee;

     (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,

Securities, shall promptly appoint a successor Property Trustee or Delaware Trustee, and such
successor Property Trustee or Delaware Trustee and the retiring Property Trustee or Delaware
Trustee shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 8.12. If an

appointment in the manner required by Section 8.12 within thirty (30) days after the giving
of a notice of resignation by a Trustee, the removal of a Trustee, or a Trustee becoming incapable
of acting as such Trustee, any Holder who has been a Holder of Trust Capital Securities for at
least six (6) months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, and any resigning
Trustee may, in each case, at the expense of the Depositor, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

- 49 -

 

     (e) The Depositor shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Property
Trustee or the Delaware Trustee and each appointment of a successor Property Trustee or Delaware
Trustee to all Holders in the manner provided in Section 10.8. Each notice shall include

opinion of the Holder of Common Securities, incompetent or incapacitated, the vacancy created by
such death, incompetence or incapacity may be filled by (i) the unanimous act of the remaining
Administrative Trustees if there are at least two of them or (ii) otherwise by the Holder of the
Common Securities (with the successor in each case being a Person who satisfies the eligibility

shall file a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Trust in accordance with Section 3810
of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act.

     SECTION 8.12. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

     (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee, each successor Trustee shall
execute and deliver to the Depositor and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such

property of the Trust or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Property Trustee
(irrespective of whether any Distributions on the Trust Securities shall then be due and payable
and irrespective of whether the Property Trustee shall have made any demand on the Trust for the
payment of any past due Distributions) shall be entitled and empowered, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

     (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of any Distributions owing and
unpaid in respect of the Trust Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may
be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Property Trustee (including any
claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Property
Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

     (ii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any
such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official

Trustee and, in the event the Property Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments
directly to the Holders, to pay to the Property Trustee first any amount due it for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Property Trustee, its agents and counsel,
and any other amounts due the Property Trustee.

ARTICLE IX

Termination, Liquidation and Merger

     SECTION 9.1. Dissolution Upon Expiration Date.

     Unless earlier dissolved, the Trust shall automatically dissolve on August 30, 2067 (the
“Expiration Date”), and the Trust Property shall be liquidated in accordance with
Section 9.4.

     SECTION 9.2. Early Termination.

     The first to occur of any of the following events is an “Early Termination Event,”
upon the occurrence of which the Trust shall be dissolved:

     (a) the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event in respect of, or the dissolution or liquidation of,
the Depositor, in its capacity as the Holder of the Common Securities, unless the Depositor shall
have transferred the Common Securities as provided by Section 5.11, in which case this
provision shall refer instead to any such successor Holder of the Common Securities;

     (b) the written direction to the Property Trustee from the Holder of the Common Securities at
any time to dissolve the Trust and, after satisfaction of any liabilities of the Trust as required
by applicable law, to distribute the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities to Holders in exchange for
the Trust Capital Securities (which direction is optional and wholly within the discretion of the
Holder of the Common Securities), provided that the Holder of the Common Securities shall have
received the prior approval of the Federal Reserve if then required and an opinion of independent
counsel that the distribution of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities will not be taxable to the
holders for United States federal income tax purposes;

     (c) the redemption of all of the Trust Capital Securities in connection with the payment at
maturity or redemption of all the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities; and

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

     SECTION 9.3. Termination.

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

- 52 -

 

administrative duties of the Administrative Trustees, including the performance of any tax
reporting obligations with respect to the Trust or the Holders.

     SECTION 9.4. Liquidation.

     (a) If an Early Termination Event specified in Section 9.2(a), (b) or
(d) occurs or upon the Expiration Date, the Trust shall be liquidated by the Property
Trustee as expeditiously as the Property Trustee shall determine to be possible by distributing,
after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Trust as provided by applicable law, to each
Holder a Like Amount of Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, subject to Section 9.4(d).
Notice of liquidation shall be given by the Property Trustee not less 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 such notices of liquidation shall:

     (i) state the Liquidation Date;

     (ii) state that from and after the Liquidation Date, the Trust Securities will no
longer be deemed to be Outstanding and (subject to Section 9.4(d)) any Securities
Certificates not surrendered for exchange will be deemed to represent a Like Amount of
Junior Subordinated Debt Securities; and

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

     (b) Except where Section 9.2(c) or 9.4(d) applies, in order to effect the
liquidation of the Trust and distribution of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities to Holders,
the Property Trustee, either itself acting as exchange agent or through the appointment of a
separate exchange agent, shall establish a record date for such distribution (which shall not be
more than forty-five (45) days prior to the Liquidation Date nor prior to the date on which notice
of such liquidation is given to the Holders) and establish such procedures as it shall deem
appropriate to effect the distribution of Junior Subordinated Debt Securities in exchange for the
Outstanding Securities Certificates.

     (c) Except where Section 9.2(c) or 9.4(d) applies, after the Liquidation Date,
(i) the Trust Securities will no longer be deemed to be Outstanding, (ii) certificates representing
a Like Amount of Junior Subordinated Debt Securities will be issued to Holders of Securities
Certificates, upon surrender of such Securities Certificates to the exchange agent for exchange,
(iii) the Depositor shall use its best efforts to have the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities
listed on the New York Stock Exchange or on such other securities exchange or market, interdealer
quotation system or self-regulatory organization on which the Trust Capital Securities are then
listed or traded, if any, (iv) Securities Certificates not so surrendered for exchange will be
deemed to represent a Like Amount of Junior Subordinated Debt Securities bearing accrued and unpaid
interest in an amount equal to the accumulated and unpaid Distributions on such Securities
Certificates until such certificates are so surrendered (and until such certificates are so
surrendered, no payments of interest or principal will be made to Holders of Securities

- 53 -

 

Certificates with respect to such Junior Subordinated Debt Securities) and (v) all rights of
Holders holding Trust Securities will cease, except the right of such Holders to receive a Like
Amount of Junior Subordinated Debt Securities upon surrender of Securities Certificates.

     (d) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 9.4, if distribution of the
Junior Subordinated Debt Securities in the manner provided herein is determined by the Property
Trustee not to be permitted or practical, the Trust Property shall be liquidated, and the Trust
shall be wound up by the Property Trustee in such manner as the Property Trustee determines. In
such event, Holders will be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Trust available for
distribution to Holders, 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 winding up 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). The
Holder of the Common Securities will be entitled to receive Liquidation Distributions upon any such
winding up pro rata (based upon Liquidation Amounts) with Holders of all Trust Securities, except
that, if a Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Trust Capital Securities shall have a priority over the Common Securities as provided in
Section 4.2.

     SECTION 9.5. Mergers, Consolidations, Amalgamations or Replacements of 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 Person except
pursuant to this Article IX. At the request of the Holders of the Common Securities,
without the consent of the Holders of the Trust Capital Securities, the Trust may merge with or
into, consolidate, amalgamate, or be replaced by or convey, transfer or lease its properties and
assets substantially as an entirety to a trust organized as such under the laws of any State;
provided that:

     (a) such successor entity either (i) expressly assumes all of the obligations of the Trust
under this Trust Agreement with respect to the Trust Capital Securities or (ii) substitutes for the
Trust Capital Securities other securities having substantially the same terms as the Trust Capital
Securities (such other Securities, the “Successor Securities”) so long as the Successor Securities
have the same priority as the Trust Capital Securities with respect to distributions and payments
upon liquidation, redemption and otherwise;

     (b) a trustee of such successor entity possessing substantially the same powers and duties as
the Property Trustee is appointed to hold the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities;

     (c) if the Trust Capital Securities or the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities are rated, such
merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not cause the
Trust Capital Securities or the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities (including any Successor
Securities) to be downgraded by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization that then
assigns a rating to the Trust Capital Securities or the Junior Subordinated

- 54 -

 

Debt Securities or have their equity-like evaluation reduced by any such nationally recognized
statistical rating organization;

     (d) the Trust Capital Securities are listed, or any Successor Securities will be listed upon
notice of issuance, on any national securities exchange or market or interdealer quotation system
on which the Trust Capital 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 Trust Capital
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 Trust Capital Securities (including
any Successor Securities) in any material respect; (ii) following such merger, consolidation,
amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, neither the Trust nor such successor
entity will be required to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act and
(iii) following such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or
lease, the Trust (or the successor entity) will continue to be classified as a grantor trust for
U.S. federal income tax purposes and the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities will continue to be
treated as indebtedness for U.S. federal income tax purposes; and

     (g) the Depositor or its permitted transferee owns all of the common securities of such
successor entity and guarantees the obligations of such successor entity under the Successor
Securities at least to the extent provided by the Guarantee Agreement.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trust shall not, except with the consent of Holders of all of
the Trust Capital Securities, consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or be replaced by or
convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any other
Person or permit any other entity to consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or replace, the
Trust if such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease would
cause the Trust or the successor entity to be taxable as a corporation or a partnership or to be
classified as other than a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes or cause the
Junior Subordinated Debt Securities to be treated as other than indebtedness of the Depositor for
United States federal income tax purposes.

that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Trustees in accordance with such
amendment will not cause the Trust to be taxable as a corporation or classified as other than a
grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes or affect the treatment of the Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities as indebtedness of the Depositor for United States federal income tax
purposes or affect the Trust’s exemption from status (or from any requirement to register) as an
“investment company” under the Investment Company Act.

or consent to any amendment to this Trust Agreement that would cause the Trust to be taxable as a
corporation or a partnership or to be classified as other than a grantor trust for United States
federal income tax purposes or that would cause the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities to fail or
cease to be treated as indebtedness of the Depositor for United States federal income tax purposes
or that would cause the Trust to fail or cease to qualify for the exemption from status (or from
any requirement to register) as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act.

Schedule A

DETERMINATION OF LIBOR

     With respect to the Trust Capital Securities, the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”)
shall be determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the following provisions (in each
case rounded to the nearest .000001 %):

One-Month LIBOR is, with respect to any Interest Period beginning on or after the Scheduled
Maturity Date, the rate (expressed as a percentage per annum) for deposits in U.S. dollars for a
one-month period commencing on the first day of that monthly interest period that appears on the
Reuters Screen LIBOR01 as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the LIBOR Determination Date for that
Interest Period. If such rate does not appear on Reuters Screen LIBOR01, One-Month LIBOR will be
determined on the basis of the rates at which deposits in U.S. dollars for a one-month period
commencing on the first day of that Interest Period and in a principal amount of not less than
$1,000,000 are offered to prime banks in the London interbank market by four major banks in the
London interbank market selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Company), at
approximately 11:00 a.m., London time on the LIBOR Determination Date for that Interest Period. The
Calculation Agent will request the principal London office of each of such banks to provide a
quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, One-Month LIBOR with respect
to that Interest Period will be the arithmetic mean (rounded upward if necessary to the nearest
whole multiple of 0.00001%) of such quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided,
One-Month LIBOR with respect to that Interest Period will be the arithmetic mean (rounded upward if
necessary to the nearest whole multiple of 0.00001%) of the rates quoted by three major banks in
New York City selected by the Calculation Agent, at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time,
on the first day of that Interest Period for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks for a
one-month period commencing on the first day of that Interest Period and in a principal amount of
not less than $1,000,000. However, if fewer than three banks selected by the Calculation Agent to
provide quotations are quoting as described above, One-Month LIBOR for that Interest Period will be
the same as One-Month LIBOR as determined for the previous Interest Period or, in the case of the
Interest Period commencing on the Scheduled Maturity Date, 8.000%. The establishment of one-month
LIBOR for each Interest Period commencing on or after the Scheduled Maturity Date by the
Calculation Agent shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding. For purposes of
this definition, “London Banking Day” means any day on which commercial banks are open for
general business (including dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars) in London, England; “LIBOR
Determination Date” means the second London banking day immediately preceding the first day of
the relevant Interest Period; “Reuters Screen” means the display on Reuters 3000 Xtra,
Inc., or any successor service, on the Reuters 3000 Xtra page LIBOR1 or any replacement page or
pages on that service; and “Reuters Screen LIBOR01” means the display designated on page 01
on Reuters Screen (or such other page as may replace the page LIBOR1 on the service or such other
service as may be nominated by the British Bankers’ Association for the purpose of displaying
London interbank offered rates for U.S. Dollar.
