     THIS TRUST AGREEMENT, dated as of December 5, 2008, between Wilmington Trust Corporation
(“Sponsor”), Wells Fargo Delaware Trust Company, a Delaware limited purpose trust company
(“Delaware Trustee”), and David R. Gibson and Gerard A. Chamberlain (“Administrators”). The
Sponsor and the Delaware Trustee hereby agree as follows:

     1. The trust created hereby shall be known as Wilmington Trust Capital A (the “Trust”), in
which name the Delaware Trustee and the Administrators, or the Sponsor to the extent provided
herein, may conduct the business and affairs of the Trust, contract on behalf of the Trust, and sue
and be sued on behalf of the Trust.

     2. The Sponsor hereby assigns, transfers, conveys, and sets over to the Trust the sum of Ten
Dollars ($10). Such amount shall constitute the initial trust estate. It is the intention of the
parties hereto that the Trust created hereby constitute a statutory trust under Chapter 38 of
Title 12 of the Delaware Code, 12 Del. C. § 3801 et seq. (the “Statutory Trust
Act”), and that this document constitutes the governing instrument of the Trust. The Delaware
Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to execute and file a certificate of trust with the
Delaware Secretary of State in accordance with the provisions of the Statutory Trust Act in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

     3. The Sponsor, the Delaware Trustee, and the Administrators will enter into an amended and
restated Trust Agreement, satisfactory to each such party, to provide for the contemplated
operation of the Trust created hereby and the issuance of the Preferred Securities and Common
Securities as defined therein. Prior to the execution and delivery of such amended and restated
Trust Agreement, neither the Delaware Trustee nor the Administrators shall have any duty or
obligation hereunder or with respect to the trust estate, except as otherwise required by
applicable law or as may be necessary to obtain prior to such execution and delivery any licenses,
consents, or approvals required by applicable law or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Delaware Trustee and the Administrators may take all actions deemed proper as are necessary to
effect the transactions contemplated herein.

     4. The Sponsor agrees to (a) pay the fees of the Delaware Trustee as agreed to separately in
writing and (b) indemnify the Administrators, the Delaware Trustee, and any of the officers,
directors, employees and agents of the Delaware Trustee (the “Indemnified Persons”) for, and to
hold each Indemnified Person harmless against, any liability or expense incurred without gross
negligence or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs and expenses (including
reasonable legal fees and expenses) of defending itself against or investigating any claim or
liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder.

     5. The Sponsor, as sponsor of the Trust, is hereby authorized, in its discretion, (i) to file
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and to execute, in the

 

 

case of the
1933 Act Registration Statement and 1934 Act Registration Statement (as herein defined), on behalf
of the Trust, (a) a Registration Statement (the “1933 Act Registration Statement”), which may be an
automatically effective registration statement, including all pre-effective and post-effective
amendments thereto, relating to the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“1933 Act”), of the Preferred Securities or Common Securities of the Trust, (b) any preliminary
prospectus, prospectus, or supplement thereto, or free-writing prospectus relating to the Preferred
Securities or Common Securities of the Trust required to be filed pursuant to the 1933 Act, and
(c) a Registration Statement on Form 8-A or other appropriate form (the “1934 Act Registration
Statement”), including all pre-effective and post-effective amendments thereto, relating to the
registration of the Preferred Securities or Common Securities of the Trust under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; (ii) to file with the New York Stock Exchange or other exchange
or interdealer quotation system, and execute on behalf of the Trust, a listing application and all
other applications, statements, certificates, agreements, and other instruments as shall be
necessary or desirable to cause the Preferred Securities or Common Securities of the Trust to be
listed on the New York Stock Exchange or such other exchange or interdealer quotation system;
(iii) to file and execute on behalf of the Trust, such applications, reports, surety bonds,
irrevocable consents, appointments of attorney for service of process, and other papers and
documents that shall be necessary or desirable to register the Preferred Securities or Common
Securities of the Trust under the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of such jurisdictions as the
Sponsor, on behalf of the Trust, may deem necessary or desirable; (iv) to execute and deliver
letters or documents to, or instruments for filing with, a depository relating to the Preferred
Securities or Common Securities of the Trust; and (v) to execute, deliver, and perform on behalf of
the Trust an underwriting agreement with one or more underwriters relating to the offering of the
Preferred Securities or Common Securities of the Trust.

     6. This Trust Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts.

     7. The Delaware Trustee shall be the initial trustee of the Trust. Thereafter, the Sponsor
may increase or decrease (but not below one) the number of trustees of the Trust by executing a
written instrument fixing such number, provided, however, that so long as it is
required by the Statutory Trust Act, one trustee of the Trust shall be either a natural person who
is a resident of the State of Delaware or an entity other than a natural person that has its
principal place of business in the State of Delaware and that, in either case, otherwise meets the
requirements of applicable Delaware law. Subject to the foregoing, the Sponsor is entitled to
appoint or remove without cause any trustee at any time. Either the Delaware Trustee or any
Administrator may resign upon thirty days’ prior written notice to the Sponsor.

     8. This Trust Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of
the State of Delaware (without regard to conflict of laws principles that would call for the
application of the substantive law of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware).

of the Issuer Trust, as the Sponsor deems necessary or advisable in order to comply with the
applicable laws of any such states;

          (iii) the preparation for filing by the Issuer Trust and execution on behalf of the Issuer
Trust of an application to the New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq Global Market, or any other national
stock exchange or automated quotation system for listing upon notice of issuance of any Preferred
Securities and filing with that exchange or self-regulatory organization such notification and
documents as may be necessary from time to time to maintain this listing;

          (iv) if applicable, the preparation for filing by the Issuer Trust with the Commission and the
execution on behalf of the Issuer Trust of a registration statement on Form 8-A relating to the
registration of the Preferred Securities under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act,
including any amendments thereto;

          (v) the negotiation of the terms of, and the execution and delivery of, the Underwriting
Agreement providing for the sale of the Preferred Securities; and

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

     (d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the Administrators is authorized
and directed to conduct the affairs of the Issuer Trust and to operate the Issuer Trust so that the
Issuer Trust will not be deemed to be an “investment company” required to be registered under the
Investment Company Act, will not be taxable as a corporation or classified as other than a grantor
trust for United States Federal income tax purposes, and so that the Debentures will be treated as
indebtedness of the Sponsor for United States Federal income tax purposes. In this connection, the
Sponsor and the Administrators are authorized to take any action, not inconsistent with applicable
law, the Certificate of Trust, or this Trust Agreement, that they determine in their discretion to
be necessary or desirable for such purposes, as long as that action does not adversely affect in
any material respect the interests of the Holders of the Outstanding Preferred Securities. In no
event shall the Sponsor, the Issuer Trustees or the Administrators be liable to the Issuer Trust or
the Holders for any failure to comply with this section that results from a change in law or
regulation or the interpretation thereof.

     SECTION 2.8. Assets of Trust.

     The assets of the Issuer Trust shall consist solely of the Trust Property.

 - 15 - 

 

     SECTION 2.9. Title to Trust Property.

     Legal title to all Trust Property shall be vested at all times in the Property Trustee (in its
capacity as such) and shall be held and administered by the Property Trustee in trust for the
benefit of the Issuer Trust and the Holders in accordance with this Trust Agreement.

ARTICLE 3

PAYMENT ACCOUNT

     SECTION 3.1. Payment Account.

     (a) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Property Trustee shall establish the Payment Account
with the Paying Agent. The Property Trustee and the Paying Agent shall have exclusive control and
sole right of withdrawal with respect to the Payment Account for the purpose of making deposits in
and withdrawals from the Payment Account in accordance with this Trust Agreement. All monies and
other property deposited or held from time to time in the Payment Account shall be held by the
Property Trustee or the Paying Agent (on behalf of the Property Trustee) in the Payment Account for
the exclusive benefit of the Holders and for distribution as provided herein, including and subject
to any priority of payments provided for herein.

     (b) The Property Trustee shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Payment Account,
promptly upon receipt, all payments of principal of or interest on, and any other payments or
proceeds with respect to, the Debentures. Amounts held in the Payment Account shall not be
invested by the Property Trustee pending distribution thereof.

ARTICLE 4

DISTRIBUTIONS; REDEMPTION

     SECTION 4.1. Distributions.

     (a) The Trust Securities represent undivided beneficial interests in the Trust Property, and
Distributions (including of Additional Amounts) will be made on the Trust Securities at the rate
and on the dates that payments of interest (including of Additional Interest, as defined in the
Indenture) are made on the Debentures. Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be cumulative,
and will accumulate whether or not there are funds of the Issuer Trust available for the payment of
Distributions.

          (i) Distributions shall accumulate from                      and, except in the event and to the
extent that the Sponsor exercises its right to defer the payment of interest on the Debentures
pursuant to the Indenture, shall be payable                      in arrears on                      and
                     of each year, commencing on                     . If any date on which a
Distribution is otherwise payable on the Trust Securities is not a Business Day, then the payment
of that Distribution shall be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, without any
interest or other payment in respect of any such delay, with the same force and effect as if made
on the date on which that payment was originally payable (each date on which distributions are
payable in accordance with this Section 4.1(a), a “Distribution Date”).

 - 16 - 

 

          (ii) In the event and to the extent the Sponsor exercises its right under the Indenture to
defer the payment of interest on the Debentures, Distributions on the Preferred Securities shall be
deferred but shall continue to accumulate. Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be payable
at a rate per annum equal to the applicable rate of interest on the Debentures. The amount of
Distributions payable for any full period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of
twelve 30-day months. The amount of Distributions for any partial period shall be computed on the
basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The amount
of Distributions payable for any period shall include the Additional Amounts, if any.

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

     (b) Distributions on the Trust Securities with respect to a Distribution Date shall be payable
to the Holders thereof as they appear on the Securities Register for the Trust Securities at the
close of business on the relevant record date for that Distribution Date, which shall be one
Business Day prior to that Distribution Date; provided, however, that in the event the Preferred
Securities do not remain in the form of Global Preferred Securities Certificates, the relevant
record date for a Distribution Date shall be the date 15 days prior to that Distribution Date.
Distributions payable on any Trust Securities that are not punctually paid on any Distribution Date
as a result of the Sponsor having failed to make an interest payment under the Debentures will
cease to be payable to the Person in whose name those Trust Securities are registered on the
relevant record date, and that defaulted Distribution will instead be payable to the Person in
whose name those Trust Securities are registered on the special record date or other specified date
for determining Holders entitled to those defaulted Distributions.

     SECTION 4.2. Redemption.

     (a) On each Debenture Redemption Date and on the stated maturity of the Debentures, the Issuer
Trust will be required to redeem a Like Amount of Trust Securities at the Redemption Price.

     (b) Notice of redemption shall be given by the Property Trustee by first-class mail, postage
prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder
of Trust Securities to be redeemed, at that Holder’s address appearing in the Security Register.
All notices of redemption shall state:

          (i) the Redemption Date;

          (ii) the Redemption Price, or if the Redemption Price cannot be calculated prior to the time
the notice is required to be sent, an estimate of the Redemption Price together with a statement
that it is an estimate, that the actual Redemption Price will be calculated on the third Business
Day prior to the Redemption Date, and a statement of how the actual Redemption Price will be
calculated (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);

 - 17 - 

 

          (iii) the CUSIP number or CUSIP numbers (if then generally in use) of the Preferred Securities
affected;

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

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

          (vi) if the Preferred Securities are no longer in the form of Global Preferred Securities
Certificates, the place or places where the Preferred Securities Certificates are to be surrendered
for payment of the Redemption Price.

     (c) The Trust Securities redeemed on each Redemption Date shall be redeemed at the Redemption
Price with the proceeds from the contemporaneous redemption of Debentures. Redemptions of the
Trust Securities shall be made and the Redemption Price shall be payable on each Redemption Date
only to the extent the Issuer Trust has funds then on hand and available in the Payment Account for
the payment of that Redemption Price.

     (d) If the Property Trustee gives a notice of redemption in respect of any Preferred
Securities, then, by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Redemption Date, subject to
Section 4.2(c), the Property Trustee or the Paying Agent (on behalf of the Property
Trustee) will, with respect to Global Preferred Securities, irrevocably deposit with the Clearing
Agency for those Global Preferred Securities, to the extent available therefor, funds sufficient to
pay the applicable Redemption Price and will give that Clearing Agency irrevocable instructions and
authority to pay the Redemption Price to the Holders of the Preferred Securities. With respect to
Preferred Securities that are not Global Preferred Securities, the Property Trustee, subject to
Section 4.2(c), will irrevocably deposit with the Paying Agent, to the extent available
therefor, funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price and will give the Paying Agent
irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Redemption Price to the Holders of the Preferred
Securities upon surrender of their Preferred Securities Certificates. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Distributions payable on or prior to the Redemption Date for any Trust Securities called
for redemption shall be payable to the Holders of those Trust Securities as they appear on the
Securities Register for the Trust Securities on the relevant record dates for the related
Distribution Dates. If notice of redemption has been given and funds deposited as required, then
upon the date of that deposit, all rights of Holders holding Trust Securities so called for
redemption will cease, except the right of those 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 those Trust Securities will cease to be outstanding. In the event any date on
which any Redemption Price is payable is not a Business Day, then payment of the Redemption Price
payable on that date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (without any
interest or other payment in respect of any such delay), except that, if that Business Day falls in
the next calendar year, that payment will be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in
each case, with the same force and effect as if made on that date. In the event payment of the
Redemption Price in respect of any Trust Securities called for redemption is

 - 18 - 

 

improperly withheld or refused and not paid either by the Issuer Trust or by the Sponsor
pursuant to the Guarantee, Distributions on those Trust Securities will continue to accumulate, as
set forth in Section 4.1, from the Redemption Date originally established by the Issuer
Trust for those Trust Securities to the date that Redemption Price is actually paid, in which case
the actual payment date will be the date fixed for redemption for purposes of calculating the
Redemption Price.

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

     SECTION 4.3. Subordination of Common Securities.

     (a) Payment of Distributions (including any Additional Amounts) on, the Redemption Price of,
and the Liquidation Distribution in respect of the Trust Securities, as applicable, shall be made,
subject to Section 4.2(e), pro rata among the Common Securities and the Preferred
Securities based on the Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities; provided, however, that if on
any Distribution Date, Redemption Date, or Liquidation Date any Event of Default resulting from a
Debenture Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(i) or 5.01(ii) of the Indenture has occurred
and is continuing, no payment of any Distribution (including any Additional Amounts) on, Redemption
Price of, or Liquidation Distribution in respect of any Common Security, and no other payment on
account of the redemption, liquidation, or other acquisition of Common Securities, shall be made
unless payment in full in cash of all accumulated and unpaid Distributions, including any
Additional Amounts, on all Outstanding Preferred Securities for all Distribution Periods
terminating on or prior thereto, or in the case of payment of the Redemption Price the full amount
of that Redemption Price on all Outstanding Preferred Securities then called for redemption, or in
the case of payment of the Liquidation Distribution the full amount of that Liquidation
Distribution on all Outstanding Preferred Securities, shall have been made or provided for, and all
funds immediately available to the Property Trustee shall first be applied to the payment in full
in cash of all Distributions, including any Additional Amounts on, or the Redemption Price of, the
Preferred Securities then due and payable.

     (b) In the case of the occurrence of any Event of Default resulting from any Debenture Event
of Default, the Holders of the Common Securities shall have no right to act

 - 19 - 

 

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

     SECTION 4.4. Payment Procedures.

     Payments of Distributions, including any Additional Amounts, in respect of the Preferred
Securities, shall, at the option of the Sponsor, be made by check mailed to the address of the
Person entitled thereto as that address appears on the Securities Register or be paid by wire
transfer to an account designated by that Person in writing not later than ten days prior to the
date of that payment; provided, that if the Preferred Securities are held by a Clearing Agency,
those Distributions shall be made to the Clearing Agency by wire transfer 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 Holders of the Common Securities.

     SECTION 4.5. Tax Returns and Reports.

     The Administrators shall prepare or cause to be prepared, at the Sponsor’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 Issuer Trust. In this regard, the Administrators shall (a) prepare
and file or cause to be prepared and filed all Internal Revenue Service forms required to be filed
in respect of the Issuer Trust in each taxable year of the Issuer Trust, and (b) prepare and
furnish or cause to be prepared and furnished to each Holder all Internal Revenue Service forms
required to be provided by the Issuer Trust. The Administrators shall provide the Sponsor and the
Property Trustee with a copy of all such returns and reports promptly
after that filing or
furnishing. The Administrators, the Paying Agent, and the Property Trustee shall comply with United
States Federal withholding and backup withholding tax laws and information reporting requirements
with respect to any payments to Holders under the Trust Securities.

     SECTION 4.6. Payment of Expenses of the Issuer Trust.

     The Sponsor shall pay to the Issuer Trust, and reimburse the Issuer Trust for, the full amount
of any costs, expenses, or liabilities of the Issuer Trust other than obligations of the Issuer
Trust to pay the Holders of any Preferred Securities or other similar interests in the Issuer Trust
the amounts due those Holders pursuant to the terms of the Preferred Securities or such other
similar interests, as the case may be, including, without limitation, any taxes, duties, or other
governmental charges of whatever nature other than withholding taxes imposed on the Issuer Trust by
the United States or any other taxing authority and all costs, expenses, and liabilities relating
to the offering and sale of the Trust Securities or the operation, maintenance, or dissolution of
the Trust. That payment obligation includes any such costs, expenses, or liabilities of the Issuer
Trust that are required by applicable law to be satisfied in connection with a dissolution of the
Issuer Trust.

 - 20 - 

 

     SECTION 4.7. Payments under Indenture or Pursuant to Direct Actions.

     Any amount payable hereunder to any Holder of Preferred Securities or any Owner with respect
thereto shall be reduced by the amount of any corresponding payment that Holder or Owner has
directly received pursuant to Section 5.8 of the Indenture or Section 5.14 of this Trust
Agreement.

ARTICLE 5

TRUST SECURITIES CERTIFICATES

     SECTION 5.1. Initial Ownership.

     Upon the formation of the Issuer Trust and the contribution by the Sponsor pursuant to
Section 2.3 and until the issuance of the Trust Securities, and at any time during which no
Trust Securities are outstanding, the Sponsor shall be the sole beneficial owner of the Issuer
Trust.

     SECTION 5.2. Trust Securities Certificates.

     The Preferred Securities Certificates shall be issued in minimum denominations of $1,000
Liquidation Amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, and the Common Securities
Certificates shall be issued in minimum denominations of $1,000 Liquidation Amount and integral
multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Trust Securities Certificates shall be (i) executed on
behalf of the Issuer Trust by manual or facsimile signature of at least one Administrator and
(ii) authenticated by the Property Trustee by manual signature of an authorized signatory thereof.
Trust Securities Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were,
at the time when those signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Issuer Trust
shall be validly issued and entitled to the benefits of this Trust Agreement, notwithstanding that
those individuals or any of them has ceased to be so authorized prior
to the delivery of those Trust
Securities Certificates or did not hold those offices at the date of
delivery of those Trust
Securities Certificates. A transferee of a Trust Securities Certificate shall become a Holder, and
shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Holder hereunder, upon due
registration of that Trust Securities Certificate in that transferee’s name pursuant to
Sections 5.4, 5.11 and 5.13.

     SECTION 5.3. Execution and Delivery of Trust Securities Certificates.

     At the Time of Delivery, the Administrators shall cause Trust Securities Certificates, in an
aggregate Liquidation Amount as provided in Sections 2.4 and 2.5, to be executed on
behalf of the Issuer Trust, authenticated in accordance with Section 5.2, and delivered to
or upon the written order of the Sponsor, executed by one authorized officer thereof, without
further corporate action by the Sponsor, in authorized denominations. After the Time of Delivery,
the Administrators may cause additional Preferred Securities to be executed on behalf of the Issuer
Trust and delivered to or upon the written order of the Sponsor, that written order executed by an
authorized officer thereof, without further corporate action by the Sponsor, in authorized
denominations; provided, however, that no such additional Preferred Securities shall be issued
unless the Administrators have received an Opinion of Counsel experienced in such matters to the
effect that such issuance will not cause the Issuer Trust to be classified as other than one or
more grantor trusts or agency arrangements or to be classified as an association or partnership for

 - 21 - 

 

U.S. federal income tax purposes or affect the Issuer Trust’s exemption from status as an
“investment company” under the Investment Company Act. Each Preferred Securities Certificate shall
be dated the date of its authentication.

     SECTION 5.4. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Preferred Securities
Certificates.

     The Sponsor shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency maintained pursuant to
Section 5.8, a register or registers for the purpose of registering Trust Securities
Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Preferred Securities Certificates (the “Securities
Register”) in which the transfer agent and registrar designated by the Sponsor (the
“Securities Registrar”), subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, shall
provide for the registration of Preferred Securities Certificates and Common Securities
Certificates (subject to Section 5.10 in the case of the Common Securities
Certificates) and registration of transfers and exchanges of Preferred Securities Certificates as
provided herein. Wells Fargo Bank, National Association shall be the initial Securities Registrar.

     Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Preferred Securities Certificate at the
office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 5.8, the Administrators or any one of them
shall execute on behalf of the Issuer Trust and deliver to the Property Trustee, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Preferred Securities Certificates in
authorized denominations of a like aggregate Liquidation Amount dated the date of execution by that
Administrator. The Securities Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of any
Preferred Securities that have been called for redemption during a period beginning at the opening
of business 15 days before the day of selection for that redemption.

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

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

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

     If (a) any mutilated Trust Securities Certificate shall be surrendered to the Securities
Registrar, or if the Securities Registrar shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the
destruction, loss, or theft of any Trust Securities Certificate, and (b) there is delivered to the
Securities Registrar and the Administrators such security or indemnity as may be required by them
to save each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice that such Trust Securities Certificate
has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Administrators, or any one of them, shall, on
behalf of the Issuer Trust, execute and make available for delivery, in exchange for or in

 - 22 - 

 

lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Trust Securities Certificate, a new
Trust Securities Certificate of like class, tenor, and denomination. In connection with the
issuance of any new Trust Securities Certificate under this Section 5.5, the Administrators
or the Securities Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any expense, tax,
or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. Any duplicate Trust
Securities Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of an
undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the Issuer Trust corresponding to that evidenced by
the lost, stolen, or destroyed Trust Securities Certificate, as if originally issued, whether or
not the lost, stolen, or destroyed Trust Securities Certificate is found at any time.

     SECTION 5.6. Persons Deemed Holders.

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

     SECTION 5.7. Access to List of Holders’ Names and Addresses.

     Each of the Securities Registrar and any one of the Administrators will furnish or cause to be
furnished to the Property Trustee:

     (a) quarterly or semi-annually, as the case may be, not more than 15 days after each record
date with respect to scheduled Distributions, a list, in such form as the Property Trustee may
reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Holders of Trust Securities as of that record
date with respect to scheduled Distributions, and

     (b) at such other times as the Property Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after
the receipt by the Sponsor and the Administrators of any such request, a list of similar form and
content as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time
that list is furnished, excluding from
any such list names and addresses received by the Property Trustee at any time it is acting as
Securities Registrar.

     The Property Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, the
names and addresses of Holders contained in the most recent list furnished to the Property Trustee
as provided in this Section 5.7 and the names and addresses of Holders received by the
Property Trustee at any time it is acting as Securities Registrar. The Property Trustee may destroy
any list furnished to it as provided in Section 5.7 upon receipt of a new list so
furnished.

     By its acquisition of any Trust Securities or any interest therein, each Holder and each Owner
shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold the Sponsor, the Property Trustee, the Securities
Registrar, the Delaware Trustee, or either Administrator accountable by reason of the disclosure of
its name and address, regardless of the source from which that information was derived.

 - 23 - 

 

     SECTION 5.8. Maintenance of Office or Agency.

     The Administrators shall designate an office or offices or agency or agencies where Preferred
Securities Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where
notices and demands to or upon the Issuer Trustees or the Administrators in respect of the Trust
Securities Certificates may be served. The Administrators initially designate the Corporate Trust
Office of the Property Trustee as its office and agency for those purposes. The Administrators
shall give prompt written notice to the Sponsor, the Property Trustees, and the Holders of any
change in the location of the Securities Register or any such office or agency.

     SECTION 5.9. Appointment of Paying Agent.

     The Paying Agent shall make Distributions to Holders from the Payment Account and shall report
the amounts of those Distributions to the Property Trustee and the Administrators. Any Paying Agent
shall have the revocable power to withdraw funds from the Payment Account solely for the purpose of
making the Distributions referred to above. The Property Trustee may revoke that power and remove
the Paying Agent in its sole discretion. The Paying Agent shall initially be the Property Trustee.
Any Person acting as Paying Agent shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent upon 30 days’
written notice to the Administrators and the Property Trustee.

     If the Property Trustee is no longer the Paying Agent or a successor Paying Agent resigns or
its authority to act is revoked, the Property Trustee shall appoint a successor, which shall be a
bank or trust company, that is reasonably acceptable to the Administrators to act as Paying Agent.
That successor Paying Agent or any additional Paying Agent shall execute and deliver to the Issuer
Trustees and the Administrators an instrument in which that successor Paying Agent or additional
Paying Agent shall agree with the Issuer Trustees and the Administrators that, as Paying Agent,
that successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent will hold all sums, if any, held by it for
payment to the Holders in trust for the benefit of the Holders entitled thereto until those sums
shall be paid to those Holders. The Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the Property
Trustee as promptly as reasonably practicable and upon removal of a Paying Agent, that Paying Agent
also shall return all funds in its possession to the Property Trustee. The provisions of
Sections 8.1, 8.3, and 8.6 herein shall apply to the Property Trustee in
its role as Paying Agent as long as the Property Trustee acts as Paying Agent and, to the extent
applicable, to any other paying agent appointed hereunder. Any reference in this Agreement to the
Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise.

     SECTION 5.10. Ownership of Common Securities by Sponsor.

     At the Time of Delivery, the Sponsor shall acquire, and thereafter shall retain, beneficial
and record ownership of the Common Securities. To the fullest extent permitted by law, other than
(a) a transfer in connection with a consolidation or merger of the Sponsor into another Person, or
any conveyance, transfer, or lease by the Sponsor of its properties and assets substantially as an
entirety to any Person, pursuant to Section 8.01 of the Indenture, or (b) to an Affiliate of the
Sponsor in compliance with applicable law, any attempted transfer of the Common Securities shall be
void. The Administrators shall cause each Common Securities Certificate issued to the Sponsor to
contain a legend stated “THIS CERTIFICATE IS NOT TRANSFERABLE EXCEPT TO THE SPONSOR OR AN AFFILIATE
OF THE SPONSOR IN

 - 24 - 

 

COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW AND SECTION 5.10 OF THE TRUST AGREEMENT.”

     SECTION 5.11. Global Preferred Securities Certificates; Common Securities Certificate.

     (a) The Preferred Securities Certificates, upon original issuance, will be issued in the form
of a typewritten Global Preferred Securities Certificate or Certificates, to be delivered to DTC,
the initial Clearing Agency, by or on behalf of the Issuer Trust. That Global Preferred Securities
Certificate or Certificates shall initially be registered on the Securities Register in the name of
Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency, and no Owner will receive a Definitive
Preferred Securities Certificate representing that Owner’s interest in those Preferred Securities,
except as provided in Section 5.13. Unless and until Definitive Preferred Securities
Certificates have been issued to Owners pursuant to Section 5.13:

          (i) the provisions of this Section 5.11(a) shall be in full force and effect;

          (ii) the Securities Registrar, the Issuer Trustees, the Administrators, and the Paying Agent
shall be entitled to deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes of this Trust Agreement
relating to the Global Preferred Securities Certificates, including the payment of the Liquidation
Amount of Distributions on the Preferred Securities evidenced by Global Preferred Securities
Certificates and the giving of instructions or directions to Owners of Preferred Securities
evidenced by Global Preferred Securities Certificates, as the sole Holder of Preferred Securities
evidenced by Global Preferred Securities Certificates, and shall have no obligations to the Owners
thereof;

          (iii) to the extent the provisions of this Section 5.11 conflict with any other
provisions of this Trust Agreement, the provisions of this Section 5.11 shall control; and

          (iv) the rights of the Owners of the Global Preferred Securities shall be exercised only
through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between
those Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants.

     Pursuant to the Issuer Letter of Representations, unless and until Definitive Preferred
Securities Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 5.13, the initial Clearing Agency
will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit
payments on the Global Preferred Securities to those Clearing Agency Participants.

     (b) A single Common Securities Certificate representing the Common Securities shall be issued
to the Sponsor in the form of a definitive Common Securities Certificate.

     SECTION 5.12. Notices to Clearing Agency.

     To the extent a notice or other communication to the Holders is required under this Trust
Agreement, for as long as Preferred Securities are represented by one or more Global Preferred
Securities Certificates, the Administrators and the Issuer Trustees shall give all such notices and

 - 25 - 

 

communications specified herein to be given to the Clearing Agency holding those Global
Preferred Securities Certificates, and shall have no obligations to the Owners.

     SECTION 5.13. Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates.

     (a) If (i) the Sponsor advises the Administrators in writing that the Clearing Agency is no
longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Global
Preferred Securities Certificates, and the Sponsor is unable to locate a qualified successor,
(ii) the Sponsor at its option advises the Administrators in writing that it elects to terminate
the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency, or (iii) after the occurrence of a Debenture
Event of Default, upon written notice of the Majority Holders to the Administrators, then in each
case the Administrators shall notify the Clearing Agency and the Issuer Trustees, and the Clearing
Agency, in accordance with its customary rules and procedures, shall notify all Clearing Agency
Participants for whom it holds Preferred Securities of the occurrence of any such event and of the
availability of the Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates to Owners of that class or
classes, as applicable, requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Administrators of the
typewritten Preferred Securities Certificate or Certificates representing the Global Preferred
Securities Certificates held by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the
Administrators, or any one of them, shall execute, and the Property Trustee shall authenticate, the
Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing
Agency. Neither the Securities Registrar, the Administrators, nor the Issuer Trustees shall be
liable for any delay in delivery of those instructions and may conclusively rely on, and be
protected in relying on, those instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Preferred Securities
Certificates, the Issuer Trust shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Preferred Securities
Certificates as Trust Security holders. The Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates shall be
typewritten, printed, lithographed, or engraved or may be produced in any other manner as is
reasonably acceptable to the Administrators that meets the requirements of Delaware law and the
rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Preferred Securities are
then listed or approved for trading, as evidenced by the execution thereof by the Administrators or
any one of them.

     (b) If any Global Preferred Securities Certificate is to be exchanged for Definitive Preferred
Securities Certificates or cancelled in part, or if any other Preferred Securities Certificate is
to be exchanged in whole or in part for Preferred Securities represented by a Global Preferred
Securities Certificate, then either (i) that Global Preferred Securities Certificate shall be so
surrendered for exchange or cancellation as provided in this Article 5 or (ii) the
aggregate Liquidation Amount represented by that Global Preferred Securities Certificate shall be
reduced or increased by an amount equal to the Liquidation Amount represented by that portion of
the Global Preferred Securities Certificate to be so exchanged or cancelled, or equal to the
Liquidation Amount represented by those Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates to be so
exchanged for Global Preferred Securities represented thereby, 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 Procedures, shall instruct the Clearing Agency or its
authorized representative to make a corresponding adjustment to its records. Upon surrender to the
Administrators or the Securities Registrar of the Global Preferred Securities Certificate or
Certificates by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Administrators,
or any one of them, shall execute the Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates

 - 26 - 

 

in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. None of the Securities Registrar,
the Issuer Trustees, or the Administrators shall be liable for any delay in delivery of those
instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, those instructions.

     SECTION 5.14. Rights of Holders; Waivers of Past Defaults.

     (a) The legal title to the Trust Property is vested exclusively in the Property Trustee (in
its capacity as such) in accordance with Section 2.9, and the Holders shall not have any
right or title therein other than the undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the Issuer
Trust conferred by their Trust Securities or right to call for any partition or division of
property, profits, or rights of the Issuer Trust except as described below. The Trust Securities
shall be personal property giving only the rights specifically set forth therein and in this Trust
Agreement. The Trust Securities shall have no preemptive or similar rights and, when issued and
delivered to Holders against payment of the purchase price therefor, will be fully paid and
nonassessable by the Issuer Trust. The Holders of the Trust Securities, in their capacities as
such, shall be entitled to the same limitation of personal liability extended to stockholders of
private corporations for profit organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware.

     (b) For as long as any Preferred Securities remain Outstanding, if, upon an Acceleration Event
of Default under Section 5.01(vi) of the Indenture, the Debenture Trustee fails, or the holders of
not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Debentures fail, to declare the principal
of all of the Debentures immediately due and payable, the Holders of at least 25% of the
Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities then Outstanding shall have the right to make that
declaration by a notice in writing to the Property Trustee, the Sponsor, and the Debenture Trustee.

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

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

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

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

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

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

 - 27 - 

 

          (ii) the applicable Acceleration Event of Default with respect to the Debentures, other than
the non-payment of the principal of the Debentures that has become due solely by that acceleration,
has been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13 of the Indenture.

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

     Upon receipt by the Property Trustee of written notice declaring such an acceleration, or the
rescission and annulment thereof, by Holders of any part of the Preferred Securities, a record date
shall be established for determining Holders of Outstanding Preferred Securities entitled to join
in that notice, which record date shall be at the close of business on the day the Property Trustee
receives that notice. The Holders on that record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only
those Persons, shall be entitled to join in that notice, whether or not those Holders remain Holders
after that record date; provided that, unless that declaration of acceleration, or rescission and
annulment, as the case may be, has become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having
joined in that notice prior to the day that is 90 days after that record date, that 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 (as provided in Section 6.5), from
giving, after expiration of that 90-day period, a new written notice of declaration of
acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof, as the case may be, that is identical to a
written notice that has been canceled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in which
event a new record date shall be established pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 5.14(b).

     (c) For as long as any Preferred Securities remain Outstanding, to the fullest extent
permitted by law and subject to the terms of this Trust Agreement and the Indenture, upon a
Debenture Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(i) or 5.01(ii) of the Indenture, any Holder of
Preferred Securities shall have the right to institute a proceeding directly against the Sponsor,
pursuant to Section 5.08 of the Indenture, for enforcement of payment to that Holder of any amounts
payable in respect of Debentures having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate
Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities of that Holder (a “Direct Action”). Except
as set forth in Section 5.14(b) and this Section 5.14(c), the Holders of Preferred
Securities shall have no right to exercise directly any right or remedy available to the holders
of, or in respect of, the Debentures.

 - 28 - 

 

     (d) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.14, the Majority Holders may, on
behalf of the Holders of all the Preferred Securities, waive any past default or Event of Default
and its consequences. Upon that waiver, any such default or Event of Default shall cease to exist,
and any default or Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every
purpose of this Trust Agreement, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default
or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

     SECTION 5.15. CUSIP Numbers.

     The Administrators in issuing the Preferred Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then
generally in use), and, if so, the Property Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of
redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no
representation is made as to the correctness of those numbers either as printed on the Preferred
Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption, that reliance may be placed only on the
other identification numbers printed on the Preferred Securities, and that any such redemption
shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Administrators will
promptly notify the Property Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

ARTICLE 6
ACTS OF HOLDERS; MEETINGS; VOTING

     SECTION 6.1. Limitations on Voting Rights.

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

     (b) As long as any Debentures are held by the Property Trustee on behalf of the Issuer Trust,
neither the Issuer Trustees nor the Administrators shall: (i) direct the time, method, or place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Debenture Trustee, or execute any trust
or power conferred on the Debenture Trustee with respect to the Debentures; (ii) waive any past
default that may be waived under Section 5.13 of the Indenture; (iii) exercise any right to rescind
or annul a declaration that the principal of all the Debentures is due and payable; or (iv) consent
to any amendment, modification, or termination of the Indenture or the Debentures, where that
consent is required, without, in each case, obtaining the prior approval of the Majority Holders;
provided, however, that where a consent under the Indenture would require the consent of each
holder of Debentures affected thereby, no such consent shall be given by the Property Trustee
without the prior written consent of each Holder of Preferred Securities. The Property Trustee
shall not revoke any action previously authorized or approved by a vote of the Holders of the
Preferred Securities, except by a subsequent vote of the Holders of the Preferred Securities. The
Property Trustee shall notify all Holders of the Preferred Securities of any notice of default
received with respect to the Debentures. In addition to obtaining the foregoing approvals of the
Holders of the Preferred Securities, prior to, and as a condition precedent to, taking any of the
foregoing actions, the Issuer Trustees shall, at the expense of the

 - 29 - 

 

Sponsor, obtain an Opinion of
Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Sponsor and experienced in those matters to the effect that
such action shall not cause the Issuer Trust to be taxable as a corporation or classified as other
than a grantor trust for United States Federal income tax purposes.

     SECTION 6.2. Notice of Meetings.

     Notice of all meetings of the Holders of the Preferred 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 Preferred Securities, at that Holder’s registered address, at least 15 days and
not more than 90 days before the meeting.

     At any such meeting, any business properly before the meeting may be so considered whether or
not stated in the notice of the meeting. Any adjourned meeting may be held as adjourned without
further notice.

     SECTION 6.3. Meetings of Holders of the Preferred Securities.

     No annual meeting of Holders is required to be held. The Property Trustee, however, shall
call a meeting of the Holders of the Preferred Securities to vote on any matter upon the written
request of the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Outstanding Preferred
Securities, and the Administrators or the Property Trustee may, at any time in their discretion,
call a meeting of the Holders of the Preferred Securities to vote on any matters as to which those
Holders are entitled to vote.

     The Majority Holders, present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting
of the Holders of the Preferred Securities.

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

     SECTION 6.4. Voting Rights.

     Holders shall be entitled to one vote for each $1,000 of Liquidation Amount represented by
their Outstanding Trust Securities in respect of any matter as to which such Holders are entitled
to vote.

     SECTION 6.5. Proxies.

     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 has been placed on file with the Property
Trustee, or with that other officer or agent of the Issuer Trust as the Property Trustee may
direct, for verification prior to the time at which that 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.

 - 30 - 

 

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 those Trust Securities, but if more than one of them is present
at that meeting in person or by proxy, and those joint owners or their proxies so present disagree
as to any vote to be cast, that vote shall not be received in respect of those Trust Securities. A
proxy purporting to be executed by or on behalf of a Holder shall be
deemed valid unless challenged at or prior to its exercise, and the burden of proving invalidity shall rest
on the challenger. No proxy shall be valid more than three years after its date of execution.

     SECTION 6.6. Holder Action by Written Consent.

     Any action that may be taken by Holders at a meeting may be taken without a meeting if Holders
holding at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of all Preferred Securities entitled to vote in
respect of that action (or such larger proportion thereof as shall be required by any other
provision of this Trust Agreement) consent to the action in writing.

     SECTION 6.7. Record Date for Voting and Other Purposes.

     For the purposes of determining the Holders who are entitled to notice of and to vote at any
meeting or by written consent, 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 Administrators may from time to time fix a date, not more than 90
days and not less than 15 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 those purposes.

     SECTION 6.8. Acts of Holders.

     Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver, or other action
provided or permitted by this Trust Agreement to be given, made, or taken by Holders may be
embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by those
Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, that action shall become effective when that instrument or instruments are
delivered to the Property Trustee. That instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein
and evidenced thereby) are sometimes referred to herein as the “Act” of the Holders signing
that instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing
appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Trust Agreement and (subject
to Section 8.1) conclusive in favor of the Issuer Trustees or the Administrators, if made
in the manner provided in this Section 6.8.

     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 that 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 that instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where that execution
is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, that certificate or
affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority.

 - 31 - 

 

     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 any Issuer Trustee or
Administrator receiving the same deems sufficient.

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

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

     Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled 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
that Trust Security or by one or more duly appointed agents, each of which may do so pursuant to
that appointment with regard to all or any part of that Liquidation Amount.

     If any dispute arises between or among the Holders and the Issuer Trustees or the
Administrators with respect to the authenticity, validity, or binding nature of any request,
demand, authorization, direction, consent, waiver, or other Act of that Holder, Issuer Trustee, or
Administrator under this Article 6, the determination of that matter by the Property
Trustee shall be conclusive with respect to that matter.

     SECTION 6.9. Inspection of Records.

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

ARTICLE 7

ARTICLE 8

THE ISSUER TRUSTEES AND ADMINISTRATORS

     SECTION 8.1. Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

     (a) The duties and responsibilities of the Issuer Trustees and the Administrators shall be as
provided by this Trust Agreement, subject to Section 10.10 hereof. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, but subject to Section 8.1(c), no provision of this Trust Agreement shall
require any of the Issuer Trustees or the Administrators to expend or risk its or their own funds
or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its or their duties
hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its or their rights or powers, if it or they has reasonable
grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against that risk or
liability is not reasonably assured to it.

     Whether or not expressly so provided therein, every provision of this Trust Agreement relating
to the conduct, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to the Issuer Trustees or the
Administrators shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 8.1. Nothing in this
Trust Agreement shall be construed to release an Issuer Trustee from liability for his or her own
negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or his or her own willful misconduct. To the
extent that, at law or in equity, an Issuer Trustee or an Administrator has duties and liabilities
relating to the Issuer Trust or the Holders, that Issuer Trustee or Administrator shall not be
liable to the Issuer Trust or to any Holder for that Issuer Trustee’s or Administrator’s good faith
reliance on the provisions of this Trust Agreement. The provisions of this Trust Agreement, to the
extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties and liabilities of the Issuer Trustees or the
Administrators otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Sponsor and the Holders to
replace those other duties and liabilities of the Issuer Trustees and the Administrators.

     (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

 - 34 - 

 

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 provided herein, and that none of the Issuer Trustees is personally liable to that Holder for
any amount distributable in respect of any Trust Security or any other liability in respect of any
Trust Security. This Section 8.1(b) does not limit the liability of the Issuer Trustees
expressly set forth elsewhere in this Trust Agreement or, in the case of the Property Trustee, in
the Trust Indenture Act.

     (c) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Property Trustee shall enforce
this Trust Agreement for the benefit of the Holders in accordance with Section 8.1(d).

     (d) The Property Trustee, before the occurrence of any Event of Default and after the curing
of all Events of Default that may have occurred, shall undertake to perform only those duties as are
specifically set forth in this Trust Agreement (including pursuant to Section 10.10), and
no implied covenants shall be read into this Trust Agreement against the Property Trustee. If an
Event of Default has occurred that has not been cured or waived pursuant to Section 5.14,
the Property Trustee shall exercise those of the rights and powers vested in it by this Trust
Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise thereof as a prudent person
would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

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

          (i) prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all
those Events of Default that may have occurred:

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

               (B) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Property Trustee, the Property Trustee may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed
therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Property Trustee and conforming to the
requirements of this Trust Agreement; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions that by
any provision hereof or of the Trust Indenture Act are specifically required to be furnished to the
Property Trustee, the Property Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine
whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Trust Agreement.

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

 - 35 - 

 

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

          (iv) the Property Trustee’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping, and physical
preservation of the Debentures and the Payment Account (if held by the Property Trustee) shall be
to deal with that Property in a similar manner as the Property Trustee deals with similar property
for its own account, subject to the protections and limitations on liability afforded to the
Property Trustee under this Trust Agreement and the Trust Indenture Act;

          (v) the Property Trustee shall not be liable for any interest on any money received by it
except as it may otherwise agree with the Sponsor; and money held by the Property Trustee need not
be segregated from other funds held by it except in relation to the Payment Account maintained by
the Property Trustee (if maintained by the Property Trustee) pursuant to Section 3.1 or to
the extent otherwise required by law;

          (vi) the Property Trustee shall not be responsible for monitoring the compliance by the
Administrators or the Sponsor with the respective duties under this Trust Agreement, nor shall the
Property Trustee be liable for the default or misconduct of any other Issuer Trustee, the
Administrators, or the Sponsor; and

          (vii) Subject to Sections 8.1(c) and (d), no provision of this Trust Agreement
shall require the Property Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal

or powers, if the Property Trustee has reasonable grounds to believe that the repayment of those
funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it under the terms of this Trust Agreement or
adequate indemnity against that risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

     (f) The Administrators and the Delaware Trustee shall not be responsible for monitoring the
compliance by the other Administrators, the other Issuer Trustees, or the Sponsor with their

extend to each of the Security Registrar, the Paying Agent, and the Delaware Trustee and be subject
to this Article 8.

     The Sponsor agrees:

     (a) to pay to the Issuer Trustees from time to time such reasonable compensation for all

competitive with the business of the Issuer Trust, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper.
Neither the Sponsor, any Administrator, nor any Issuer Trustee shall be obligated to present any

in any financial or other transaction with the Sponsor or any Affiliate of the Sponsor, or may act

     SECTION 8.7. Corporate Property Trustee Required; Eligibility of Issuer Trustees and

     (a) There shall at all times be a Property Trustee hereunder with respect to the Trust
Securities. The Property Trustee shall be a Person that is a national or state chartered bank,
eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such, and that has a combined capital and
surplus of at least $50,000,000. If any such Person publishes reports of condition at least
annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of its supervising or examining authority, then
for the purposes of this Section 8.7 and to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture
Act, the combined capital and surplus of that Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the
Property Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities ceases to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 8.7, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the
effect hereinafter specified in this Article 8. At the time of appointment, the Property
Trustee must have securities rated in one of the three highest rating categories by a nationally
recognized statistical rating organization.

     SECTION 8.8. Conflicting Interests.

     (a) If the Property Trustee has or acquires a conflicting interest within the meaning of the
Trust Indenture Act, the Property Trustee shall either eliminate that interest or resign, to the
extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and
this Trust Agreement.

     (b) The Guarantee Agreement and the Indenture shall be deemed to be specifically described in
this Trust Agreement for the purposes of clause (i) of the first proviso contained in
Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

     SECTION 8.9. Co-Trustees and Separate Trustee.

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

     Should any written instrument from the Sponsor be required by any co-trustee or separate
trustee so appointed for more fully confirming to that co-trustee or separate trustee that
property, title, right, or power, any and all such instruments shall, on request, be executed,
acknowledged, and delivered by the Sponsor.

     Every co-trustee or separate trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, but to that extent
only, be appointed subject to the following terms:

     (a) The Trust Securities shall be executed by one or more Administrators, and the Trust
Securities shall be delivered by the Property Trustee, and all rights, powers, duties, and
obligations hereunder in respect of the custody of securities, cash, and other personal property
held by, or required to be deposited or pledged with, the Property Trustee specified hereunder
shall be exercised solely by the Property Trustee and not by that co-trustee or separate trustee.

     (b) The rights, powers, duties, and obligations conferred hereby or imposed upon the Property
Trustee in respect of any property covered by that appointment shall be conferred or imposed upon
and exercised or performed by the Property Trustee or the Property Trustee and 

 - 41 - 

 

that co-trustee or
separate trustee jointly, as shall be provided in the instrument
appointing that co-trustee or separate trustee, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in
which any particular act is to be performed, the Property Trustee shall be incompetent or
unqualified to perform that act, in which event those rights, powers, duties, and obligations shall
be exercised and performed by that co-trustee or separate trustee.

     (c) The Property Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing executed by it, with the
written concurrence of the Sponsor, may accept the resignation of or remove any co-trustee or
separate trustee appointed under this Section 8.9, and, in case a Debenture Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Property Trustee shall have power to accept the
resignation of, or remove, any such co-trustee or separate trustee without the concurrence of the
Sponsor. Upon the written request of the Property Trustee, the Sponsor shall join with the
Property Trustee in the execution, delivery, and performance of all instruments and agreements
necessary or proper to effectuate that resignation or removal. A successor to any co-trustee or
separate trustee so resigning or removed may be appointed in the manner provided in this
Section 8.9.

     (d) No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any
act or omission of the Property Trustee or any other trustee hereunder.

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

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

     SECTION 8.10. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

     (a) No resignation or removal of any Issuer Trustee (the “Relevant Trustee”) or
Administrator (the “Relevant Administrator”, each of the Relevant Trustee or a Relevant
Administrator a “Relevant Person”) and no appointment of a successor Issuer Trustee or
successor Administrator pursuant to this Article 8 shall become effective until the
acceptance of appointment by the successor Issuer Trustee or Administrator in accordance with the
applicable requirements of Section 8.11.

     (b) Subject to paragraph (a) above, the Relevant Trustee may resign at any time by giving
written notice thereof to the Holders and by appointing a successor Relevant Trustee. The Relevant
Trustee shall appoint a successor by requesting from at least three Persons meeting the eligibility
requirements its expenses and charges to serve as the Relevant Trustee, and selecting the Person
who agrees to the lowest expenses and charges. If the instrument of acceptance by the successor
Issuer Trustee required by Section 8.11 has not been delivered to the Relevant Trustee
within 60 days after the giving of that notice of resignation, the Relevant Trustee may petition,
at the expense of, in the case of the Property Trustee, the Sponsor, any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Relevant Trustee.

     (c) The Administrators, or any of them, may be appointed, removed, or replaced by Act of the
Holders of Common Securities delivered to the Relevant Trustee. The Administrators may resign at
any time by giving written notice thereof to the Holders of Common Securities.

 - 42 - 

 

     (d) The Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, or both of them, may be appointed, removed,
or replaced by Act of the Majority Holders, delivered to the Relevant Trustee (in its individual
capacity and, in the case of the Property Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer Trust) (i) for cause
(including upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in subparagraph (d) of the
definition thereof with respect to the Relevant Trustee), or (ii) if a Debenture Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing at any time. Unless and until an event described in clauses (i) or
(ii) of the previous sentence has occurred and is continuing, the Property Trustee or the Delaware
Trustee, or both of them, may be appointed, removed, or replaced at any time by Act of the Holders
of the Common Securities.

     (e) If a resigning Issuer Trustee fails to appoint a successor, if an Issuer Trustee is
removed or become incapable of acting as Issuer Trustee, or if a vacancy occurs in the office of
any Issuer Trustee for any reason, the Holders of the Common Securities, by Act of those Holders
delivered to the Relevant Trustee, or if a Debenture Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Holders of the Preferred Securities, by Act of the Holders of not less than 25% in
aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities then Outstanding delivered to that
Relevant Trustee, may appoint a successor Relevant Trustee or Trustees, and that successor Issuer
Trustee shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11. If no successor
Relevant Trustee has been so appointed by the Holders of the Common Securities or the Preferred
Securities, as the case may be, and accepted appointment in the manner required by
Section 8.11, any Holder, on behalf of that Holder and all others similarly situated, or
any other Issuer Trustee, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Relevant Trustee.

     (f) The Property Trustee shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of an Issuer
Trustee and each appointment of a successor Issuer Trustee to all Holders in the manner provided in
Section 10.8, and shall give notice to the Sponsor and the Administrators. Each notice
shall include the name of the successor Relevant Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust
Office if it is the Property Trustee.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Trust Agreement, if any Delaware
Trustee who is a natural person dies or becomes, in the opinion of the Holders of the Common
Securities, incompetent or incapacitated, the vacancy created by that death, incompetence, or
incapacity may be filled by the Property Trustee following the procedures regarding expenses and
charges set forth above, with the successor being a Person who satisfies the eligibility
requirements for the Delaware Trustee set forth in Section 8.7.

     SECTION 8.11. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

     (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Relevant Person, the retiring Relevant
Person and each successor Relevant Person with respect to the Trust Securities shall execute and
deliver an amendment hereto wherein each successor Relevant Person shall accept that appointment
and which shall (i) contain those provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer, confirm
to, and vest in each successor Relevant Person all the rights, powers, trusts, and duties of the
retiring Relevant Person with respect to the Trust Securities and the Issuer Trust; and (ii) add to
or change any of the provisions of this Trust Agreement as shall be necessary to provide for or
facilitate the administration of the Issuer Trust by more than one
Relevant Person,

 - 43 - 

 

it being understood that nothing herein or in that amendment shall constitute
those Relevant Persons co-trustees and upon the execution and delivery of that amendment the
resignation or removal of the retiring Relevant Person shall become effective to the extent
provided therein and each such successor Relevant Person, without any further act, deed, or
conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts, and duties of the retiring
Relevant Person; provided, however, that on request of the Issuer Trust or any successor Relevant
Person that retiring Relevant Person shall duly assign, transfer, and deliver to that successor
Relevant Person all Trust Property, all proceeds thereof, and money held by that retiring Relevant
Person hereunder with respect to the Trust Securities and the Issuer Trust.

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

     (c) No successor Relevant Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of that
acceptance that successor Relevant Trustee is qualified and eligible under this Article 8.

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

     SECTION 8.12. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation, or Succession to Business.

     Any Person into which the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee may be merged or converted
or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion, or
consolidation to which that Relevant Trustee is a party, or any Person succeeding to all or
substantially all the corporate trust business of that Relevant Trustee, shall be the successor of
that Relevant Trustee hereunder, provided that such Person shall otherwise be qualified and
eligible under this Article 8, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further
act on the part of any of the parties hereto except may be required under the Delaware Statutory
Trust Act.

     SECTION 8.13. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Sponsor or Issuer Trust.

     If and when the Property Trustee is or becomes a creditor of the Sponsor or the Issuer Trust
or any other obligor upon the Preferred Securities, the Property Trustee shall be subject to the
provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Sponsor, the
Issuer Trust, or any such other obligor.

     SECTION 8.14. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

     In case of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment, composition, or other similar judicial proceeding relative to the Issuer Trust or any
other obligor upon the Trust Securities or the property of the Issuer Trust or of that other
obligor or their creditors, the Property Trustee (irrespective of whether any Distributions on the
Trust Securities are due and payable and irrespective of whether the Property Trustee has made any
demand on the Issuer Trust for the payment of any past due Distributions) shall be

 - 44 - 

 

entitled and empowered (but not obligated), to the fullest extent permitted by law, by
intervention in that proceeding or otherwise:

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

counsel) and of the Holders allowed in that judicial proceeding, and

     (b) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such
claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator,
sequestrator, or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
each Holder to make those payments to the Property Trustee and, in the event the Property Trustee
consents to the making of those payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Property Trustee any
amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements, and advances of the
Property Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Property Trustee.

     Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Property Trustee to authorize,
consent to, accept, or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment, or compensation affecting the Trust Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or
to authorize the Property Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such
proceeding.

hereunder which it has not previously reported and which in its opinion materially affects the
Trust Securities.

     (b) In addition, the Property Trustee shall transmit to Holders those reports concerning the
Property Trustee and its actions under this Trust Agreement as may be required pursuant to the
Trust Indenture Act at the times and in the manner provided pursuant thereto.

ARTICLE 9

DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND MERGER

     SECTION 9.1. Dissolution Upon Expiration Date.

     Unless earlier dissolved, the Issuer Trust shall automatically dissolve, and its affairs shall
be wound up, on                      (the “Expiration Date”), following the
distribution of the Trust Property in accordance with Section 9.4.

     SECTION 9.2. Early Dissolution.

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

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

     (b) the written direction to the Property Trustee from the Holders of all of the Common
Securities at any time to dissolve the Issuer Trust and distribute the Debentures to Holders in
exchange for the Preferred Securities (which direction is optional and wholly within the discretion
of the Holders of the Common Securities);

     (c) the redemption of all of the Preferred Securities in connection with the redemption of all
the Debentures; and

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

     SECTION 9.3. Dissolution.

     The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Issuer Trustees, the Administrators,
and the Issuer Trust created and continued hereby shall terminate upon the latest to occur of the
following: (a) the distribution by the Property Trustee to Holders of all amounts required to be
distributed hereunder upon the liquidation of the Issuer Trust pursuant to Section 9.4, or
upon the redemption of all of the Trust Securities pursuant to Section 4.2; (b) the payment
of any expenses owed by the Issuer Trust in accordance with Section 3803 of the Delaware Statutory
Trust Act; (c) the discharge of all administrative duties of the Administrators, including the
performance of any tax reporting obligations with respect to the Issuer Trust or the Holders; and
(d) the filing of a certificate of cancellation with the Delaware Secretary of State in accordance
with the Delaware Statutory Trust Act. Promptly after the latest to occur of the foregoing, the
Property Trustee will notify the Delaware Trustee in writing that the Delaware Trustee’s
obligations and responsibilities with respect to the Issuer Trust have terminated.

 - 47 - 

 

     SECTION 9.4. Liquidation.

     (a) If an Early Dissolution Event specified in clause (a), (b), or (d)
of Section 9.2 occurs or upon the Expiration Date, the Issuer Trust shall be liquidated by
the Property Trustee as expeditiously as the Property Trustee determines to be possible by
distributing, after satisfaction of liabilities to known creditors of the Issuer Trust as provided
by applicable law as to which the Property Trustee has received notice of amounts owing, to each
Holder a Like Amount of Debentures, subject to Section 9.4(d).

     Notice of liquidation shall be given by the Property Trustee by first-class mail, postage
prepaid, mailed not fewer than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Liquidation Date to each
Holder of Trust Securities at that Holder’s address appearing in
the Securities Register. All those notices of liquidation shall state:

          (i) the CUSIP Number of the Trust Securities;

          (ii) the Liquidation Date;

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

          (iv) that
information with respect to the mechanics by which Holders may exchange Trust
Securities Certificates for Debentures, or if Section 9.4(d) applies, receive a Liquidation
Distribution, as the Property Trustee (after consultation with the Administrators) deems
appropriate.

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

     (c) Except where Section 9.2(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 Debentures will be issued to Holders of Trust Securities Certificates, upon
surrender of those Certificates to the exchange agent for exchange; (iii) any Trust Securities
Certificates not so surrendered for exchange will be deemed to represent a Like Amount of
Debentures bearing accrued and unpaid interest in an amount equal to the accumulated and unpaid
Distributions on those Trust Securities Certificates until those certificates are so surrendered, and
until those certificates are so surrendered, no payments of interest or principal will be made to
Holders of Trust Securities Certificates with respect to those Debentures, and (iv) all rights of
Holders holding Trust Securities will cease, except the right of those Holders to receive Debentures
upon surrender of Trust Securities Certificates.

     (d) If, notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 9.4, whether because of
an order for dissolution entered by a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise, distribution of
the 

 - 48 - 

 

Debentures in the manner provided herein is determined by the Property Trustee not to be
practical, or if an Early Dissolution Event specified Section 9.2(c) occurs, the Trust
Property shall be liquidated, and the Issuer Trust shall be dissolved and its affairs wound-up, by
the Property Trustee in such manner as the Property Trustee determines. In that event, on the date
of the dissolution, winding-up, or other termination of the Issuer Trust, Holders will be entitled
to receive out of the assets of the Issuer Trust available for distribution to Holders, after
satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Issuer Trust as provided by applicable law, an
amount equal to the Liquidation Amount per Trust Security plus accumulated and unpaid Distributions
thereon to the date of payment (that amount being the “Liquidation Distribution”). If,
upon any such dissolution, winding up, or termination, the Liquidation Distribution can be paid
only in part because the Issuer Trust has insufficient assets available to pay in full the
aggregate Liquidation Distribution, then, subject to the next succeeding sentence, the amounts
payable by the Issuer Trust on the Trust Securities shall be paid on a pro rata basis based upon
Liquidation Amounts. The Holders of the Common Securities will be entitled to receive Liquidation
Distributions upon any such dissolution, winding-up, or termination pro rata (determined as
aforesaid) with Holders of Preferred Securities, except that, if a Debenture Event of Default
specified in Section 5.01(i) or 5.01(ii) of the Indenture has occurred and is continuing, the
Preferred Securities shall have a priority over the Common Securities as provided in
Section 4.3.

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

     The Issuer Trust may not merge with or into, consolidate, amalgamate, be replaced by, convey,
transfer, or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any corporation or
other body, except pursuant to this Section 9.5. At the request of the Holders of the
Common Securities, with the consent of the Administrators, and without the consent of the Issuer
Trustees or the Holders of the Preferred Securities, the Issuer Trust may merge with or into,
consolidate, amalgamate, or be replaced by, or convey, transfer, or lease its properties and assets
substantially as an entirety to a trust organized as such under the laws of any state; provided,
that: (i) such successor entity either (A) expressly assumes all of the obligations of the Issuer
Trust with respect to the Preferred Securities, or (B) substitutes for the Preferred Securities
other securities having substantially the same terms as the Preferred Securities (the
“Successor Securities”) as long as the Successor Securities have the same priority as the
Preferred Securities with respect to distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption, and
otherwise; (ii) a trustee of that successor entity possessing the same powers and duties as the
Property Trustee is appointed to hold the Debentures; (iii) that merger, consolidation,
amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer, or lease does not cause the Preferred Securities
(including any Successor Securities) to be downgraded by any nationally recognized statistical
rating organization; (iv) that merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance,
transfer, or lease does not adversely affect the rights, preferences, and privileges of the holders
of the Preferred Securities (including any Successor Securities) in any material respect; (v) that
successor entity has a purpose substantially identical to that of the Issuer Trust; (vi) prior to
that merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer, or lease, the Property
Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (A) such merger, consolidation,
amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer, or lease does not adversely affect the rights,
preferences, and privileges of the Holders of the Preferred Securities (including any Successor Securities) in
any material respect, and (B) following that merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement,

 - 49 - 

 

conveyance, transfer, or lease, neither the Issuer Trust nor that successor entity will be required
to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act, (vii) the Sponsor or its
permitted transferee owns all of the Common Securities of that successor entity and guarantees the
obligations of that successor entity under the Successor Securities at least to the extent provided
by the Guarantee Agreement; and (viii) if the Preferred Securities are listed on a national
securities exchange or interdealer quotation system, the Successor Securities are listed, or any
Successor Securities will be listed on notification of issuance, on that national securities
exchange or interdealer quotation system. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer Trust shall
not, except with the consent of Holders of all of the Preferred Securities, consolidate,
amalgamate, merge with or into, be replaced by, or convey, transfer, or lease its properties and
assets substantially as an entirety to any other entity or permit any other entity to consolidate,
amalgamate, merge with or into, or replace it if that consolidation, amalgamation, merger,
replacement, conveyance, transfer, or lease would cause the Issuer Trust or the successor entity to
be taxable as a corporation or classified as other than a grantor trust for United States Federal
income tax purposes.

ARTICLE 10

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

     SECTION 10.1. Limitation of Rights of Holders.

     Except as set forth in Section 9.2, the death, termination, dissolution, occurrence of
a Bankruptcy Event, or incapacity of any Person having an interest, beneficial or otherwise, in
Trust Securities shall not operate to terminate this Trust Agreement, nor entitle the legal
representatives or heirs of that person or any Holder for that person, to claim an accounting, take
any action, or bring any proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the arrangements
contemplated hereby, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations, or liabilities of the parties
hereto or any of them.

     All parties to this Trust Agreement agree, and each Holder of any Trust Securities by that
Holder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion
require, in any suit against any Issuer Trustee or Administrator for any action taken or omitted by
it as Issuer Trustee or Administrator, the filing by any party litigant in that suit of an
undertaking to pay the costs of that suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess
reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in that suit,
having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by that party
litigant; but the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to any suit instituted by any Issuer
Trustee or Administrator or to any suit instituted by any Holder or group of Holders of more than
10% in aggregate Liquidation Preference of the outstanding Trust Securities.

     SECTION 10.2. Amendment.

     (a) This Trust Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Administrators and the
Holders of all of the Common Securities, without the consent of any Holder of the Preferred
Securities to: (i) cure any ambiguity or correct or supplement any provision herein that
may be inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to make any other provision with
respect to matters or questions arising under this Trust Agreement, which shall not be inconsistent
with

 - 50 - 

 

the other provisions of this Trust Agreement; (ii) modify, eliminate, or add to any provision
of this Trust Agreement to such extent as shall be necessary to ensure that (A) the Issuer Trust
will not be taxable as a corporation or classified as other than a grantor trust for United States
Federal income tax purposes at all times any Trust Securities are outstanding, (B) the Issuer Trust
will not be required to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act, or
(C) the treatment of the Preferred Securities as Tier 1 regulatory capital under the prevailing
Federal Reserve Board rules and regulations; or (iii) conform the terms of this Trust Agreement to
the description of this Trust Agreement and the Preferred Securities in the relevant prospectus
filed or to be filed with the Commission with respect to the offer
and sale of those Preferred
Securities; provided, however, that in the case of either clause (i) or (ii), that action shall not
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Holder; provided further, that in the
case of clause (iii), the Sponsor shall deliver to the Property Trustee an Officers’ Certificate
and an Opinion of Counsel (who may be counsel to the Issuer Trust), in each case confirming that
such amendment has the effect of conforming the terms of this Trust Agreement to the descriptions
of this Trust Agreement in that prospectus. Any such amendment shall become effective when notice
is given to the Property Trustee, the Delaware Trustee, and the Holders of the Preferred
Securities.

     (b) Except as provided in Section 10.2(c), any provision of this Trust Agreement may
be amended from time to time by the Administrators, the Property Trustee, and the Holders of all of
the Common Securities and (i) with the consent of the Majority Holders and (ii) upon receipt by the
Issuer Trustees of an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment or the exercise of any
power granted to the Issuer Trustees or the Administrators in accordance with that amendment will
not affect the Issuer Trust’s status as a grantor trust, cause the Issuer Trust to be taxable as a
corporation or as other than a grantor trust for United States Federal income tax purposes, or
affect the Issuer Trust’s exemption from status as an “investment company” under the Investment
Company Act.

     (c) In addition to and notwithstanding any other provision in this Trust Agreement, without
the consent of each affected Holder (that consent being obtained in accordance with
Section 6.3 or 6.6 hereof), this Trust Agreement may not be amended to: (i) change
the amount or timing of any Distribution on the Trust Securities or otherwise adversely affect the
amount of any Distribution required to be made in respect of the Trust Securities as of a specified
date; or (ii) restrict the right of a Holder set forth in this Trust Agreement to institute suit
for the enforcement of any such payment on or after that date; and, notwithstanding any other
provision herein, without the unanimous consent of the Holders (that consent being obtained in
accordance with Section 6.3 or 6.6 hereof), this paragraph (c) of this
Section 10.2 may not be amended.

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

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

 - 51 - 

 

     (f) In the event that any amendment to this Trust Agreement is made, the Administrators or the
Property Trustee shall promptly provide to the Sponsor a copy of that amendment.

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

     SECTION 10.3. Separability.

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

     This Trust Agreement and the rights and obligations of each of the Holders, the Issuer Trust,

Delaware without reference to its conflicts of laws provisions.

     SECTION 10.5. Payments Due on Non-Business Day.

     If the date fixed for any payment on any Trust Security is a day that is not a Business Day,
that payment need not be made on that date but may be made on the next succeeding day that is a

effect as though made on the date fixed for that payment, and no Distributions shall accumulate on
that unpaid amount for the period after that date.

     SECTION 10.6. Successors.

against the Issuer Trust under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other similar law
(including the United States Bankruptcy Code) (collectively, “Bankruptcy Laws”), or
otherwise join in the commencement of any proceeding against the Issuer Trust under any Bankruptcy
Law.

     If
the Sponsor takes action in violation of this Section 10.9, the Property Trustee
agrees, for the benefit of Holders, that, at the expense of the Sponsor, it shall file an answer
with the bankruptcy court or otherwise properly contest the filing of that petition by the Sponsor

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

through operation of Section 318(c) thereof those imposed duties shall control. If any provision of
this Trust Agreement modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act which may be so
modified or excluded, the provision shall be deemed to apply to this Trust Agreement as so modified
or excluded, as the case may be.

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

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

     SECTION
10.11. Acceptance of Terms of Trust Agreement, Guarantee Agreement, and Indenture.

     THE RECEIPT AND ACCEPTANCE OF A TRUST SECURITY OR ANY INTEREST THEREIN BY OR ON BEHALF OF A
HOLDER OR ANY BENEFICIAL OWNER, WITHOUT ANY SIGNATURE OR FURTHER MANIFESTATION OF ASSENT, SHALL
CONSTITUTE THE UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE BY THE HOLDER AND ALL OTHERS HAVING A BENEFICIAL INTEREST

 - 54 - 

 

TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS TRUST AGREEMENT, THE GUARANTEE AGREEMENT, AND THE INDENTURE, AND
AGREEMENT TO THE SUBORDINATION PROVISIONS AND OTHER TERMS OF THE GUARANTEE AGREEMENT AND THE
INDENTURE, AND SHALL CONSTITUTE THE AGREEMENT OF THE ISSUER TRUST, THAT HOLDER AND SUCH OTHERS THAT
