     (d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Trustees are
authorized and directed to conduct the affairs of the Issuer Trust and to operate the Issuer Trust
so that the Issuer Trust will not be deemed to be an “investment company” required to be registered
under the 1940 Act, or to be classified as an association taxable as a corporation or 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 Depositor for United States federal income tax purposes. In this
connection, the Administrative Trustees are authorized to take any action, not inconsistent with
applicable law, the Certificate of Trust or this Trust Agreement, that each Administrative Trustee
determines in its discretion to be necessary or desirable for such purposes, as long as such action
does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Holders of the Capital
Securities. In no event shall the Administrative Trustees be liable to the Issuer Trust or the
Holders for any failure to comply with this section that results from a change in law or regulation
or interpretation thereof.

Section 2.8 Assets of Trust. The assets of the Issuer Trust shall consist of the Trust
Property.

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 for the benefit of the Issuer Trust and the Holders in accordance with this
Trust Agreement.

PAYMENT ACCOUNT

Section 3.1 Payment Account.

     (a) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Property Trustee shall establish the Payment Account.
The Property Trustee and any agent of the Property Trustee 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 or on behalf
of the Property Trustee in the Payment Account for the exclusive benefit of the Holders and for
distribution as herein provided, 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 or on behalf of the Property Trustee pending distribution thereof.

ARTICLE IV

DISTRIBUTIONS; REDEMPTION

Section 4.1 Distributions.

     (a) The Trust Securities represent undivided beneficial interests in the Trust Property, and
Distributions (including 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. Accordingly:

          (i) 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. Distributions
shall accrue from, and, except in the event (and to the extent) that the Depositor exercises its
right to defer the payment of interest on the Debentures pursuant to the Indenture, shall be
payable quarterly in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year,
commencing on December 15, 2006. If any date on which a Distribution is otherwise payable on the
Trust Securities is not a Business Day, then the payment of such Distribution shall be made on the
next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of
any such delay) except that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, payment
of such Distribution shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the
same force and effect as if made on the date such payment was originally payable (each date on
which Distributions are payable in accordance with this Section 4.1(a), a “Distribution Date”).

          (ii) Distributions shall accumulate in respect of the Capital Securities at a rate of [*]% per
annum of the Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities. The amount of Distributions payable for
any period less than a full Distribution period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of
twelve 30-day months and the actual number of days elapsed in a partial month in a period.
Distributions payable for each full Distribution period will be

15

 

computed by dividing the rate per annum by four. The amount of Distributions payable for any
period shall include any Additional Amounts in respect of such period.

          (iii) Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be made by or on behalf of the Property
Trustee from the Payment Account and shall be payable on each Distribution Date only to the extent
that the Issuer Trust has funds then on hand and available in the Payment Account for the payment
of such Distributions.

     (b) Distributions on the Trust Securities with respect to a Distribution Date shall be payable
to the Holders thereof as they appear on the Securities Register for the Trust Securities at the
close of business on the relevant record date, which shall be (i) the Business Day next preceding
the relevant Distribution Date if the Capital Securities are issued in the form of Book-Entry
Global Capital Securities or (ii) the March 15, June 15, September 15 or December 15 next preceding
the relevant Distribution Date if the Capital Securities are not issued in the form of Book-Entry
Global Capital Securities.

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 such Holder’s address appearing in the Security Register.
All notices of redemption shall state:

          (i) the Redemption Date;

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

          (iii) the CUSIP number or CUSIP numbers of the Capital Securities affected;

          (iv) if less than all the Outstanding Trust Securities are to be redeemed, the identification
and the total 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 or
after said date, except as provided in Section 4.2(d) below; and

          (vi) the place or places where the Trust Securities are to be surrendered for the payment of
the Redemption Price.

16

 

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

     (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 that the Issuer Trust has funds then on hand and available in the Payment Account for
the payment of such Redemption Price.

     (d) If the Property Trustee gives a notice of redemption in respect of any Capital Securities,
then, by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Redemption Date, subject to Section 4.2(c), the
Property Trustee will, with respect to Book-Entry Capital Securities, irrevocably deposit with the
Clearing Agency for such Book-Entry Capital Securities, to the extent available therefor, funds
sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price and will give such Clearing Agency irrevocable
instructions and authority to pay the Redemption Price to the Owners thereof. With respect to
Capital Securities that are not Book-Entry Capital Securities, the Property Trustee, subject to
Section 4.2(c), will irrevocably deposit with the Paying Agent, to the extent available therefor,
funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price and will give the Paying Agent irrevocable
instructions and authority to pay the Redemption Price to the Holders thereof upon surrender of
their Capital Securities Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Distributions payable on or
prior to the Redemption Date for any Trust Securities called for redemption shall be payable to the
Holders of such Trust Securities as they appear on the Securities Register for the Trust Securities
on the relevant record dates for the related Distribution Dates. If notice of redemption shall have
been given and funds deposited as required, then upon the date of such deposit, all rights of
Holders of Trust Securities so called for redemption will cease, except the right of such Holders
to receive the Redemption Price including any unpaid Distribution payable on or prior to the
Redemption Date, but without interest, and such Trust Securities will cease to be Outstanding. In
the event that any date on which any Redemption Price is payable is not a Business Day, then
payment of the Redemption Price payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that
is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay), except
that, if such Business Day falls in the next calendar year, such payment will be made on the
immediately preceding Business Day, in each case, with the same force and effect as if made on such
date. In the event that payment of the Redemption Price in respect of any Trust Securities called
for redemption is improperly withheld or refused and not paid either by the Issuer Trust or by the
Depositor pursuant to the Guarantee, Distributions on such Trust Securities will continue to
accumulate as set forth in Section 4.1, from the Redemption Date originally established by the
Issuer Trust for such Trust Securities to the date such Redemption Price is actually paid, in which
case the actual payment date will be the date fixed for redemption for purposes of calculating the
Redemption Price.

17

 

     (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 on a pro rata basis (based on Liquidation Amounts) among the Common
Securities and the Capital Securities. The particular Capital Securities to be redeemed shall be
selected on a pro rata basis (based upon Liquidation Amounts) not more than 60 days prior to the
Redemption Date by the Property Trustee from the Outstanding Capital Securities not previously
called for redemption, provided that, so long as the Capital Securities are in book-entry-only
form, such selection shall be made in accordance with the customary procedures for the Clearing
Agency for the Capital Securities. The Property Trustee shall promptly notify the Securities
Registrar in writing of the Capital Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any
Capital Securities selected for partial redemption, the Liquidation Amount thereof to be redeemed.
For all purposes of this Trust Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions
relating to the redemption of Capital Securities shall relate, in the case of any Capital
Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the Liquidation Amount of
Capital 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, and the Redemption Price
of, the Trust Securities, as applicable, shall be made, subject to Section 4.2(e), pro rata (based
on Liquidation Amounts) among the Common Securities and the Capital Securities; provided, however,
that if on any Distribution Date or Redemption Date any Trust Event of Default resulting from a
Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no payment of any Distribution
(including any Additional Amounts) on, or Redemption Price of, any Common Security, and no other
payment on account of the redemption, liquidation or other acquisition of Common Securities, shall
be made unless payment in full in cash of all accumulated and unpaid Distributions (including any
Additional Amounts) on all Outstanding Capital Securities for all Distribution periods terminating
on or prior thereto, or in the case of payment of the Redemption Price the full amount of such
Redemption Price on all Outstanding Capital Securities, 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, Capital Securities then due and payable.

     (b) In the case of the occurrence of any Trust Event of Default resulting from any Debenture
Event of Default, the Holder of Common Securities will be deemed to have waived any right to act
with respect to any such Trust Event of Default under this Trust Agreement until the effect of all
such Events of Default with respect to the Capital Securities have been cured, waived or otherwise
eliminated. Until any such Trust Event of Default under this Trust Agreement with respect to the
Capital Securities has been so cured, waived or otherwise eliminated, the Property Trustee shall
act solely on behalf of the Holders of the Capital Securities and not on behalf of the Holder of
the Common Securities, and only the Holders of the Capital Securities will have the right to direct
the Property Trustee to act on their behalf.

Section 4.4 Payment Procedures. Payments of Distributions (including Additional Amounts,
if applicable) in respect of the Capital Securities shall be made by check mailed to the address of
the Holder entitled thereto as such address shall appear on the Securities Register or, if the

18

 

Capital Securities are held by a Clearing Agency, such Distributions shall be made to the Clearing
Agency in immediately available funds, which shall credit the relevant Holders’ accounts at such
Clearing Agency on the applicable Distribution Dates. Payments in respect of the Common Securities
shall be made in such manner as shall be mutually agreed between the Property Trustee and the
Holder of the Common Securities.

Section 4.5 Tax Returns and Reports. The Administrative Trustees shall prepare (or cause
to be prepared), at the Depositor’s expense, and file all United States federal, state and local
tax and information returns and reports required to be filed by or in respect of the Issuer Trust.
In this regard, the Administrative Trustees shall (a) prepare and file (or cause to be prepared and
filed) the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Form required to be filed in respect of the 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 the appropriate Internal Revenue Service form required to be provided
by the Issuer Trust. The Administrative Trustees shall provide the Depositor and the Property
Trustee with a copy of all such returns and reports promptly after such filing or furnishing. The
Property Trustee shall cause the Paying Agent to 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 Taxes, Duties, Etc. of the Issuer Trust. Upon receipt under the
Debentures of Additional Sums, the Property Trustee shall promptly pay with moneys provided by the
Depositor any taxes, duties or governmental charges of whatsoever nature (other than withholding
taxes) imposed on the Issuer Trust by the United States or any other taxing authority.

Section 4.7 Payments under Indenture or Pursuant to Direct Actions. Any amount payable
hereunder to any Holder of Capital Securities shall be reduced by the amount of any corresponding
payment such Holder (or an Owner with respect to the Holder’s Capital Securities) has directly
received pursuant to Section 5.8 of the Indenture or Section 5.13 of this Trust Agreement.

Section 4.8 Liability of the Holder of Common Securities. Any Holder of the Common
Securities shall be liable for all costs, expenses or liabilities of the Issuer Trust, other than
to pay to Holders of any Capital Securities the amounts due to such holders pursuant to the terms
of the Capital Securities, and such costs, expenses or liabilities shall constitute unsecured
obligations of the Holder of the Common Securities.

Section 4.9 Exchanges.

     (a) If at any time the Depositor or any of its Affiliates (in either case, a “Depositor
Affiliated Owner/Holder”) is the Owner or Holder of any Capital Securities, such Depositor
Affiliated Owner/Holder shall have the right to deliver to the Property Trustee all or such portion
of its Capital Securities as it elects and receive, in exchange therefor, a Like Amount of
Debentures. Such election (i) shall be exercisable effective on any Distribution Date by such
Depositor Affiliated Owner/Holder delivering to the Property Trustee a written notice of such
election specifying the Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities with respect to which such
election is being made and the Distribution Date on which such exchange shall occur, which

19

 

Distribution Date shall be not less than ten Business Days after the date of receipt by the
Property Trustee of such election notice and (ii) shall be conditioned upon such Depositor
Affiliated Owner/Holder having delivered or caused to be delivered to the Property Trustee or its
designee the Capital Securities which are the subject of such election by 10:00 A.M. New York time,
on the Distribution Date on which such exchange is to occur. After the exchange, such Capital
Securities will be cancelled and will no longer be deemed to be Outstanding and all rights of the
Depositor or its Affiliate(s) with respect to such Capital Securities will cease.

     (b) In the case of an exchange described in Section 4.9(a), the Issuer Trust will, on the date
of such exchange, exchange Debentures having a principal amount equal to a proportional amount of
the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Outstanding Common Securities, based on the ratio of the
aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities exchanged pursuant to Section 4.9(a) divided
by the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities Outstanding immediately prior to such
exchange, for such proportional amount of Common Securities held by the Depositor (which
contemporaneously shall be cancelled and no longer be deemed to be Outstanding); provided, that the
Depositor delivers or causes to be delivered to the Property Trustee or its designee the required
amount of Common Securities to be exchanged by 10:00 A.M. New York time, on the Distribution Date
on which such exchange is to occur.

ARTICLE V

TRUST SECURITIES CERTIFICATES

Section 5.1 Initial Ownership. Upon the creation of the Issuer Trust and the contribution
by the Depositor 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 Depositor shall be the sole beneficial
owner of the Issuer Trust.

Section 5.2 The Trust Securities Certificates.

     (a) The Capital Securities Certificates and the Common Securities Certificates shall be issued
in denominations of $25 Liquidation Amount and integral multiples thereof. The Trust Securities

least one Administrative Trustee. Trust Securities Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile
signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures shall have been 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 such individuals or any of them shall have
ceased to be so authorized prior to the delivery of such Trust Securities Certificates or did not
hold such offices at the date of delivery of such Trust Securities Certificates. A transferee of a
Trust Securities Certificate shall become a Holder, and shall be entitled to the rights and subject
to the obligations of a Holder hereunder, upon due registration of such Trust Securities
Certificate in such transferee’s name pursuant to Section 5.5.

     (b) Upon their original issuance, Capital Securities Certificates shall be issued in the form
of one or more Global Capital Securities Certificates registered in the name of DTC, as Clearing
Agency, or its nominee and deposited with DTC or a custodian for DTC for credit by

20

 

DTC to the respective accounts of the Owners thereof (or such other accounts as they may
direct).

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

Section 5.3 Execution and Delivery of Trust Securities Certificates. At the Closing Date,
the Administrative Trustees 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 by manual

chairman of the board, its president, any executive vice president or any vice president, treasurer
or assistant treasurer or controller without further corporate action by the Depositor, in
authorized denominations.

     Upon a written order of the Issuer Trust signed by one Administrative Trustee, the Property
Trustee shall authenticate the Capital Securities Certificates for original issue.

     The Property Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Administrative
Trustees to authenticate Capital Securities Certificates. An authenticating agent may authenticate
Capital Securities Certificates whenever the Property Trustee may do so. Each reference in this
Trust Agreement to authenticate by the Property Trustee includes authentication by such Agent. An
authenticating agent has the same rights as the Property Trustee to deal with the Depositor or an
Affiliate.

Section 5.4 Book-Entry Capital Securities. As provided in Section 5.2(b), Capital
Securities, upon original issuance, will be issued in the form of Global Capital Securities
Certificates representing Book-Entry Capital Securities, to be delivered to DTC or its nominee by,
or on behalf of, the Issuer Trust. Such Global Capital Securities Certificates shall initially be
registered on the Securities Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of DTC, and no Owner
will receive a Definitive Capital Securities Certificate representing such Owner’s interest in such
Capital Securities, except as provided in this Section 5.4.

     (a) Each Global Capital Securities Certificate issued under this Trust Agreement shall be
registered in the name of the Clearing Agency or a nominee thereof designated by the Depositor for
the related Book-Entry Capital Securities and delivered to such Clearing Agency or a nominee
thereof or custodian therefor and each such Global Capital Securities Certificate shall constitute
a single Capital Securities Certificate for all purposes of this Trust Agreement.

     (b) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Trust Agreement, no Global Capital Securities
Certificate may be exchanged in whole or in part for Capital Securities Certificates registered,
and no transfer of a Global Capital Securities Certificate in whole or in part may be registered,
in the name of any Person other than the Clearing Agency for such Global Capital Securities
Certificate or a nominee thereof unless (i) the Clearing Agency advises the Depositor and the
Property Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly
discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Global Capital Securities Certificates, and the
Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Depositor at its option advises the
Clearing Agency in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the

21

 

Clearing Agency, or (iii) a Debenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the
Holders of a majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities determine to discontinue the
book-entry system through the Clearing Agency. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in clause
(i), (ii) or (iii) above, the Administrative Trustees shall notify the Clearing Agency and the
Clearing Agency shall notify all Owners of Book-Entry Capital Securities, the Property Trustee and
the Administrative Trustees of the occurrence of such event and of the availability of the
Definitive Capital Securities Certificates to Owners of such class or classes, as applicable,
requesting the same.

     (c) If any Global Capital Securities Certificate is to be exchanged for other Capital
Securities Certificates or cancelled in part, or if another Capital Securities Certificate is to be
exchanged in whole or in part for a beneficial interest in any Global Capital Securities
Certificate, then either (i) such Global Capital Securities Certificate shall be so surrendered for
exchange or cancellation as provided in this Article Five or (ii) the aggregate Liquidation Amount
represented by such Global Capital Securities Certificate shall be reduced, subject to Section 5.2,
or increased by an amount equal to the Liquidation Amount represented by that portion of the Global
Capital Securities Certificate to be so exchanged or cancelled, or equal to the Liquidation Amount
represented by such other Capital Securities Certificates to be so exchanged for Global Capital
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 Administrative Trustees or the
Securities Registrar of the Global Capital Securities Certificate or Certificates by the Clearing
Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Administrative Trustees, or any one of them,
shall execute the Definitive Capital Securities Certificates in accordance with the instructions of
the Clearing Agency. None of the Securities Registrar or the Issuer Trustees shall be liable for
any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in
conclusively, relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Capital Securities
Certificates, the Issuer Trustees shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Capital Securities
Certificates as Holders. The Definitive Capital Securities Certificates shall be printed,
lithographed or engraved or may be produced in any other manner as is reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Trustees, as evidenced by the execution thereof by the Administrative Trustees or
any one of them.

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

     (e) The Clearing Agency or its nominee, as registered owner of a Global Capital Securities
Certificate, shall be the Holder of such Global Capital Securities Certificate for all purposes
under this Trust Agreement and the Global Capital Securities Certificate, and Owners with respect
to a Global Capital Securities Certificate shall hold such interests pursuant to the Applicable
Procedures. The Securities Registrar and the Issuer Trustees shall be entitled to deal with the
Clearing Agency for all purposes of this Trust Agreement relating to the Book-Entry

22

 

Capital Securities (including the payment of the Liquidation Amount of and Distributions on
the Capital Securities evidenced by Book-Entry Capital Securities and the giving of instructions or
directions to Owners of Capital Securities evidenced by Book-Entry Capital Securities) as the sole
Holder of Capital Securities evidenced by the Book-Entry Capital Securities and shall have no
obligations to the Owners thereof. Neither the Property Trustee nor the Securities Registrar shall
have any liability in respect of any transfers effected, or for any other actions taken or not
taken, by the Clearing Agency.

     The rights of the Owners of the Book-Entry Capital Securities shall be exercised only through
the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law, the Applicable Procedures and
agreements between such Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants.
Pursuant to the Certificate Depository Agreement, unless and until Definitive Capital Securities
Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 5.4(b), the initial Clearing Agency will make
book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit payments on
the Capital Securities to such Clearing Agency Participants, and none of the Depositor or the
Issuer Trustees shall have any responsibility or obligation with respect thereto.

Section 5.5 Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Capital Securities Certificates.

     (a) The Property Trustee shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency maintained
pursuant to Section 5.9, a register or registers for the purpose of registering Trust Securities
Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Capital Securities Certificates (the “Securities
Register”) in which the registrar designated by the Property Trustee (the “Securities Registrar”)
with the reasonable consent of the Administrative Trustees, subject to such reasonable regulations
as it may prescribe, shall provide for the registration of Capital Securities Certificates and
Common Securities Certificates (subject to Section 5.11 in the case of the Common Securities
Certificates) and registration of transfers and exchanges of Capital Securities Certificates as
herein provided. The Property Trustee shall be the initial Securities Registrar.

     Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Capital Securities Certificate at the
office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 5.9, the Administrative Trustees or any one of them
shall execute by manual or facsimile signature and deliver to the Property Trustee for further
delivery, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Capital
Securities Certificates in authorized denominations of a like aggregate Liquidation Amount dated
the date of execution by such Administrative Trustee.

     The Securities Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of any Capital
Securities that have been called for redemption. At the option of a Holder, Capital Securities
Certificates may be exchanged for other Capital Securities Certificates in authorized denominations
of the same class and of a like aggregate Liquidation Amount upon surrender of the Capital
Securities Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 5.9.

     Every Capital Securities Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Securities Registrar duly executed by the Holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Each

23

 

Capital Securities Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be
cancelled and subsequently disposed of by the Property Trustee or Securities Registrar in
accordance with such Person’s customary practice.

     No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Capital
Securities Certificates, but the Securities Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or
exchange of Capital Securities Certificates. The provisions of Sections 8.1, 8.3 and 8.6 herein
shall apply to the Bank also in its role as Securities Registrar, for so long as the Bank shall act
as Securities Registrar.

     Whenever this Trust Agreement makes reference to the execution of Trust Securities
Certificates, such reference to execution shall mean manual execution by an Administrative Trustee
or, in the alternative, execution by facsimile signature by an Administrative Trustee and
authentication (in the case of Capital Securities Certificates only) by the Property Trustee.

     Capital Securities Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who
were at any time the proper Administrative Trustees of the Issuer Trust shall bind the Issuer
Trust, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such office prior
to the authentication and delivery of such Capital Securities Certificates or did not hold such
offices at the date of such Capital Securities Certificates.

     Each Capital Securities Certificate that is executed by facsimile and authenticated by the
Property Trustee shall be dated the date of its authentication.

     (b) Certain Transfers and Exchanges. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust
Agreement, transfers and exchanges of Capital Securities Certificates and beneficial interests in
Book-Entry Capital Securities of the kinds specified in this Section 5.5(b) shall be made only in
accordance with this Section 5.5(b).

          (i) Non-Global Capital Securities Certificate to Global Capital Securities Certificate. If
the Holder of a Capital Securities Certificate (other than a Global Capital Securities Certificate)
wishes at any time to transfer all or any portion of the Capital Securities represented thereby to
a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of Book-Entry Capital Securities
represented by a Global Capital Securities Certificate, such transfer may be effected only in
accordance with the provisions of this Clause (b)(i) and subject to the Applicable Procedures. Upon
receipt by the Securities Registrar of such Capital Securities Certificate as provided in Section
5.5(a) and instructions satisfactory to the Securities Registrar directing that a specified number
of Capital Securities to be represented by the Global Capital Securities Certificate not greater
than the number of Capital Securities represented by such Capital Securities Certificate be
credited to a specified Clearing Agency Participant’s account and then the Securities Registrar
shall cancel such Capital Securities Certificate (and issue a new Capital Securities Certificate in
respect of any untransferred portion thereof) as provided in Section 5.5(a) and increase the
aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Global Capital Securities Certificate by the Liquidation Amount
represented by such Capital Securities so transferred as provided in Section 5.4(c).

24

 

          (ii) Non-Global Capital Securities Certificate to Non-Global Capital Securities Certificate.
Capital Securities other than Book-Entry Capital Securities may be transferred, in whole or in
part, to a Person who takes delivery in the form of a Capital Securities Certificate that is not a
Global Capital Securities Certificate as provided in Section 5.5(a).

          (iii) Global Capital Securities Certificate to Non-Global Capital Securities Certificate.
Capital Securities represented by a Global Capital Securities Certificate may be exchanged for a
Capital Securities Certificate that is not a Global Capital Securities Certificate as provided in
Section 5.4.

     Before registering for transfer or exchange any Capital Securities Certificates issued in
certificated fully registered form as provided in Sections 5.2, 5.4 or 5.5 of the Trust Agreement,
the Property Trustee as Securities Registrar may require an Opinion of Counsel or other evidence
satisfactory to it (which may include a certificate from such purchaser or Holder) that such
purchaser or Holder is eligible for the exemptive relief available under U.S. Department of Labor
Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 96-23, 95-60, 91-38, 90-1 or 84-14 or another
applicable exemption with respect to such purchase or holding and, in the case of any purchaser or
Holder relying on any exemption other than PTCE 96-23, 95-60, 91-38, 90-1 or 84-14, an Opinion of
Counsel or other evidence satisfactory to the Property Trustee with respect to the availability of
such exemption. Any purchaser or Holder of any Capital Securities or any interest therein will be
deemed to have represented by its purchase and holding thereof that either (i) it is not a Plan and
no part of the assets to be used by it to purchase and/or hold such Capital Securities or any
interest therein constitutes “plan assets” of any Plan, or (ii) it is itself a Plan or is
purchasing or holding the Capital Securities or an interest therein on behalf of or with “Plan
Assets” of one or more Plans, and each such purchase and holding of such securities either (A)
satisfies the requirements of, and is entitled to full exemptive relief under, PTCE 96-23, 95-60,
91-38, 90-1 or 84-14 (or some other applicable class or individual exemption) (or, in the case of a
non-ERISA Plan, a similar exemption applicable to the transaction) or (B) will not result in a
prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Code or its equivalent under applicable similar laws.

     (c) The Property Trustee shall not be required to insure or verify compliance with securities
laws, including the Securities Act, Exchange Act and 1940 Act, in connection with transfers and
exchanges of Capital Securities Certificates. The Property Trustee shall have no obligation or duty
to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under
this Trust Agreement or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any
Security other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as
are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this
Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express
requirements hereof.

Section 5.6 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Trust Securities Certificates. If (a) any
mutilated Trust Securities Certificate shall be surrendered to the Securities Registrar, or if the
Securities Registrar shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft
of any Trust Securities Certificate and (b) there shall be delivered to the Securities Registrar
and the Administrative Trustees such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each
of them harmless, then in the absence of notice that such Trust Securities Certificate shall have
been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Administrative Trustees, or any one of them, on behalf
of

25

 

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

Section 5.7 Persons Deemed Holders. The Issuer Trustees or the Securities Registrar shall
treat the Person in whose name any Trust Securities Certificate shall be registered in the
Securities Register as the owner of such Trust Securities Certificate for the purpose of receiving
Distributions and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Issuer Trustees nor the
Securities Registrar shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.

Section 5.8 Access to List of Holders’ Names and Addresses. Each Holder and each Owner
shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold the Depositor, the Property Trustee, the Delaware
Trustee or the Administrative Trustees accountable by reason of the disclosure of its name and
address, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

Section 5.9 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Property Trustee shall designate, with
the consent of the Administrative Trustees, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, an
office or offices or agency or agencies where Capital Securities Certificates may be surrendered
for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer
Trustees in respect of the Trust Securities Certificates may be served. The Corporate Trust Office
of the Property Trustee is initially designated the office for such purpose. The Administrative
Trustees or the Property Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor and to the
Holders of any change in the location of the Securities Register or any such office or agency.

Section 5.10 Appointment of Paying Agent. The Paying Agent shall make Distributions to
Holders from the Payment Account and shall report the amounts of such Distributions to the Property
Trustee and the Administrative Trustees. Any Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to
withdraw funds from the Payment Account for the purpose of making the Distributions referred to
above. The Property Trustee may revoke such power and remove the Paying Agent in its sole
discretion. The Paying Agents shall initially be the Bank, and any co-paying agent chosen by the
Bank, and reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Trustees. Any Person acting as Paying Agent
shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent upon 30 days’ written notice to the Administrative
Trustees and the Property Trustee. In the event that the Bank shall no longer be the Paying Agent
or a successor Paying Agent shall resign or its authority to act be revoked, the Property Trustee
shall appoint a successor that is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Trustees to act as
Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company). Such successor Paying Agent or any
additional Paying Agent shall execute and deliver to the Issuer Trustees an instrument in which
such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent shall agree with the Issuer Trustees that as
Paying Agent, such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent will hold all sums, if any,
held by it for payment to the Holders in trust for the benefit of the Holders entitled thereto
until such sums shall be paid to such Holders. The Paying

26

 

Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the Property Trustee and upon removal of a Paying Agent
such Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to the Property Trustee. The
provisions of Sections 8.1, 8.3 and 8.6 herein shall apply to the Bank also in its role as Paying
Agent, for so long as the Bank shall act as Paying Agent and, to the extent applicable, to any
other paying agent appointed hereunder. Any reference in this Trust Agreement to the Paying Agent
shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise.

Section 5.11 Ownership of Common Securities by Depositor. At the Closing Date, the
Depositor shall acquire and retain beneficial and record ownership of the Common Securities.
Neither the Depositor nor any successor Holder of the Common Securities may transfer less than all
the Common Securities, and the Depositor and any successor Holder may transfer the Common
Securities only (i) in connection with a consolidation or merger of the Depositor into another
Person, or any conveyance, transfer or lease by the Depositor of its properties and assets
substantially as an entirety to any Person, pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Indenture, or (ii) to
the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor in compliance with applicable law (including the
Securities Act and applicable State securities and blue sky laws). To the fullest extent permitted
by law, any attempted transfer of the Common Securities other than as set forth in the next
preceding sentence shall be void. The Administrative Trustees shall cause each Common Securities
Certificate issued to the Depositor to contain a legend stating substantially “THIS CERTIFICATE IS
NOT TRANSFERABLE EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 5.11 OF THE TRUST AGREEMENT”.

Section 5.12 Notices to Clearing Agency. To the extent that a notice or other
communication to the Owners is required under this Trust Agreement, unless and until Definitive
Capital Securities Certificates shall have been issued to all Owners pursuant to Section 5.4(b),
the Issuer Trustees shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to
Owners to the Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligations to the Owners.

Section 5.13 Rights of Holders.

     (a) The legal title to the Trust Property is vested exclusively in the Property Trustee (in
its capacity as such) in accordance with Section 2.9, and the Holders shall not have any right or
title therein other than the undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the Issuer Trust
conferred by their Trust Securities and they shall have no right to call for any partition or
division of property, profits or rights of the Issuer Trust except as described below. The Trust
Securities shall be personal property giving only the rights specifically set forth therein and in
this Trust Agreement. The Trust Securities shall have no preemptive or similar rights and, except
to the extent set forth in Section 4.8, when issued and delivered to Holders against payment of the
purchase price therefor will be fully paid and nonassessable undivided beneficial interests in
Trust Property. Except as set forth in Section 4.8, the Holders, in their capacities as such, shall
be entitled to the same limitation of personal liability extended to stockholders of private
corporations for profit organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

     (b) For so long as any Capital Securities remain Outstanding, if, upon a Debenture Event of
Default under Section 5.1(a)(1) of the Indenture, the Debenture Trustee fails or the holders of not
less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debentures fail to declare the
principal of all of the Debentures to be immediately due and payable, the Holders of

27

 

at least 25% in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities then Outstanding shall
have such right by a notice in writing to the Depositor and the Debenture Trustee with a copy to
the Property Trustee; and upon any such declaration such principal amount of and the accrued
interest on all of the Debentures shall become immediately due and payable. Any payment of
principal and interest on such Debentures as described herein shall remain subordinated to the
extent provided in the Indenture.

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

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

               (A) all overdue installments of interest (including any Additional Interest (as defined in the
Indenture)) on all of the Debentures,

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

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

          (ii) all Events of Default with respect to the Debentures, other than the non-payment of the
principal of the Debentures which has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or
waived as provided in Section 5.13 of the Indenture.

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

     Upon receipt by the Property Trustee of written notice declaring such an acceleration, or
rescission and annulment thereof, by Holders of the Capital Securities all or part of which is
represented by Book-Entry Capital Securities, a record date shall be established for determining
Holders of Outstanding Capital Securities entitled to join in such notice, which record date shall
be at the close of business on the day the Property Trustee receives such notice. The Holders on
such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to
join in such notice, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided,

28

 

that, unless such declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may
be, shall have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having joined in such notice
prior to the day which is 90 days after such record date, such notice of declaration of
acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall automatically and without
further action by any Holder be canceled and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall
prevent a Holder, or a proxy of a Holder, from giving, after expiration of such 90-day period, a
new written notice of declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof, as the case
may be, that is identical to a written notice which 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 5.13(b).

     (c) For so long as any Capital Securities remain Outstanding, to the fullest extent permitted
by law and subject to the terms of this Trust Agreement and the Indenture, upon a Debenture Event
of Default specified in Section 5.1(a)(1), 5.1(b)(2) or 5.1(b)(3) of the Indenture, any Holder of
Capital Securities shall have the right to institute a proceeding directly against the Depositor,
pursuant to Section 5.8 of the Indenture, for enforcement of payment to such Holder of the
principal amount of or interest on Debentures having a principal amount equal to the Liquidation
Amount of the Capital Securities of such Holder (a “Direct Action”), provided that if such a
Debenture Event of Default results from the failure to pay interest on the Debentures on or by the
next interest payment date following a ten-year Extension Period, the Holders may not declare such
principal amount of the Debentures due and payable. Except as set forth in this Section 5.13, the
Holders of Capital Securities shall have no right to exercise directly any right or remedy
available to the holders of, or in respect of, the Debentures.

ARTICLE VI

ACTS OF HOLDERS; MEETINGS; VOTING

Section 6.1 Limitations on Voting Rights.

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

     (b) So long as any Debentures are held by the Issuer Trust, the Property Trustee shall not (i)
direct the time, method or place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Debenture Trustee, or executing any trust or power conferred on the Property Trustee with respect
to such Debentures, (ii) waive any past default which is waivable under Section 5.13 of the
Indenture, (iii) exercise any right to rescind or annul a declaration that the principal of all the
Debentures shall be due and payable or (iv) consent to any amendment, modification or termination
of the Indenture or the Debentures, where such consent shall be required, without, in each case,
obtaining the prior approval of the Holders of at least a majority in Liquidation Amount of all
Outstanding Capital Securities, provided, however, that where a consent under the Indenture would
require the consent of each holder of Debentures affected thereby, no such consent shall be given
by the Property Trustee without the prior written consent of each Holder

29

 

of Capital Securities. The Issuer Trustees shall not revoke any action previously authorized
or approved by a vote of the Holders of Capital Securities, except by a subsequent vote of the
Holders of Capital Securities. The Property Trustee shall notify all Holders of the Capital
Securities of any notice of default received from the Debenture Trustee with respect to the
Debentures. In addition to obtaining the foregoing approvals of the Holders of the Capital
Securities, prior to taking any of the foregoing actions, the Property Trustee shall, at the
expense of the Depositor, receive an Opinion of Counsel experienced in such matters to the effect
that such action shall not cause the Issuer Trust to be classified as an association taxable as a
corporation or as other than a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes.

     (c) If any proposed amendment to the Trust Agreement provides for, or the Issuer Trustees
otherwise propose to effect, (i) any action that would adversely affect in any material respect the
powers, preferences or special rights of the Capital Securities, whether by way of amendment to
this Trust Agreement or otherwise, or (ii) the dissolution, winding-up or termination of the Issuer
Trust, other than pursuant to the terms of this Trust Agreement, then the Holders of Outstanding
Capital Securities as a class will be entitled to vote on such amendment or proposal and such
amendment or proposal shall not be effective except with the approval of the Holders of at least a
majority in Liquidation Amount of the Outstanding Capital Securities. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Trust Agreement, no amendment to this Trust Agreement may be made if, as a result
of such amendment, it would cause the Issuer Trust to be classified as an association taxable as a
corporation or as other than a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes.

Section 6.2 Notice of Meetings. Notice of all meetings of Holders of Capital Securities,
stating the time, place and purpose of the meeting, shall be given by the Property Trustee pursuant
to Section 10.8 to each such Holder at such Holder’s address as it appears in the Securities
Register as of the record date for such meeting. Such notice shall be sent, first-class mail, 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 Capital Securities. No annual meeting of Holders is
required to be held. The Property Trustee, however, shall call a meeting of Holders of Capital
Securities to vote on any matter upon the written request of the Holders of record of at least 25%
of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of Outstanding Capital Securities) and the Administrative
Trustees or the Property Trustee may, at any time in their discretion, call a meeting of Holders of
Capital Securities to vote on any matters as to which Holders of Capital Securities are entitled to
vote.

     Holders of at least 50% of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of Outstanding Capital Securities,
present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of Holders of Capital
Securities.

     If a quorum is present at a meeting, an affirmative vote by the Holders of record present, in
person or by proxy, holding at least a majority of the Liquidation Amount of Outstanding Capital
Securities held by the Holders of record present, either in person or by proxy, at such

30

 

meeting shall constitute the action of the Holders of Capital Securities, unless this Issuer
Trust Agreement requires a greater number of affirmative votes.

Section 6.4 Voting Rights. In respect of any matter as to which a Holder is entitled to
vote, such Holder shall be entitled to one vote for each $25 in Liquidation Amount of Trust
Securities held of record by such Holder.

Section 6.5 Proxies, Etc. At any meeting of Holders, any Holder entitled to vote thereat
may vote by proxy, provided that no proxy shall be voted at any meeting unless it shall have been
placed on file with the Property Trustee, or with such other officer or agent of the Issuer Trust
as the Property Trustee may direct, for verification prior to the time at which such vote shall be
taken. Pursuant to a resolution of the Property Trustee, proxies may be solicited in the name of
the Property Trustee or one or more officers of the Property Trustee. Only Holders of record shall
be entitled to vote. When Trust Securities are held jointly by several Persons, any one of them may
vote at any meeting in person or by proxy in respect of such Trust Securities, but if more than one
of them shall be present at such meeting in person or by proxy, and such joint owners or their
proxies so present disagree as to any vote to be cast, such vote shall not be received in respect
of such Trust Securities. A proxy purporting to be executed by or on behalf of a Holder shall be
deemed valid unless challenged at or prior to its exercise, and the burden of proving invalidity
shall rest on the challenger. No proxy shall be valid more than three years after its date of
execution.

Section 6.6 Holder Action by Written Consent. Any action which may be taken by Holders at
a meeting may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice, if Holders holding a majority of
the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Outstanding Trust Securities entitled to vote in respect of
such action (or such larger proportion thereof as shall be required by any express provision of
this Trust Agreement) shall consent to the action in writing.

Section 6.7 Record Date for Voting and Other Purposes. For the purpose of determining the
Holders who are entitled to notice of and to vote at any meeting or to act by written consent, or
to participate in any Distribution on the Trust Securities in respect of which a record date is not
otherwise provided for in this Trust Agreement, or for the purpose of any other action, the
Administrative Trustees or Property Trustee may from time to time fix a date, not more than 90 days
prior to the date of any meeting of Holders or the payment of a Distribution or other action, as
the case may be, as a record date for the determination of the identity of the Holders of record
for such purposes.

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

31

 

shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Trust Agreement and (subject to Section 8.1) conclusive
in favor of the Issuer Trustees, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

     The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be
proved by the affidavit of a witness to such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or
other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual
signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution
is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or
affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the
execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may
also be proved in any other manner which any Issuer Trustee receiving the same deems sufficient.

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

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

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

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

Section 6.9 Inspection of Records. Upon reasonable notice to the Administrative Trustees
and the Property Trustee, the records of the Issuer Trust shall be open to inspection by Holders
during normal business hours for any purpose reasonably related to such Holder’s interest as a
Holder.

ARTICLE VIII

THE ISSUER TRUSTEES

Section 8.1 Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

     (a) The duties and responsibilities of the Issuer Trustees shall be as provided by this Trust
Agreement and, in the case of the Property Trustee, by the Trust Indenture Act. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no provision of this Trust Agreement shall require any of the Issuer Trustees to expend
or risk their own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of
their duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of their rights or powers, if they shall have
reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not
therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Trust Agreement relating to the conduct or
affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Issuer Trustees shall be subject to the
provisions of this Article. Nothing in this Trust Agreement shall be construed to release an
Administrative Trustee from liability for its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct with
respect to acts or omissions. To the extent that, at law or in equity, an Issuer Trustee has duties
and liabilities relating thereto to the Issuer Trust or to the Holders, such Issuer Trustee shall
not be liable to the Issuer Trust or to any Holder for such Issuer Trustee’s good faith reliance on
the provisions of this Trust Agreement. The provisions of this Trust Agreement, to the extent that
they restrict the duties and liabilities of the Issuer Trustees otherwise existing at law or in
equity, are agreed by the Depositor and the Holders to replace such other duties and liabilities of
the Issuer Trustees.

     (b) All payments made by the Property Trustee or a Paying Agent in respect of the Trust
Securities shall be made only from the revenue and proceeds from the Trust Property and only to the
extent that there shall be sufficient revenue or proceeds from the Trust Property to enable the
Property Trustee or a Paying Agent to make payments in accordance with the terms hereof. Each
Holder, by its acceptance of a Trust Security, agrees that it will look solely to the revenue and
proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent legally available for distribution to it as herein
provided and that the Issuer Trustees are not personally liable to it for any amount distributable
in respect of any Trust Security or for any other liability in respect of any Trust Security. This
Section 8.1(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.

34

 

     (c) If a Trust Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Property Trustee shall
enforce this Trust Agreement for the benefit of the Holders.

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

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

          (ii) the Property Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to
be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of not less than a

conferred or imposed on it, in any jurisdiction in which it shall be illegal, or in which any
Issuer Trustee shall be unqualified or incompetent in accordance with applicable law, to perform

this Trust Agreement in and to such independent ventures or the income or profits derived
therefrom, and the pursuit of any such venture, even if competitive with the business of the Issuer
Trust, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper. None of the Depositor or any Issuer Trustee, shall
be obligated to present any particular investment or other opportunity to the Issuer Trust even if
such opportunity is of a character that, if presented to the Issuer Trust, could be taken by the
Issuer Trust, and the Depositor or any Issuer Trustee shall have the right to take for its own
account (individually or as a partner or fiduciary) or to recommend to others any such particular
investment or other opportunity. Any Issuer Trustee may engage or be interested in any financial or

Section 8.9 Co-Trustees and Separate Trustee. Unless a Trust Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, at any time or times, for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements
of the Trust Indenture Act or of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Property may at

of the Property Trustee, the Depositor and the Administrative Trustees shall for such purpose join
in the execution, delivery, and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper
to appoint, one or more Persons approved by the Property Trustee either to act as co-trustee,
jointly with the Property Trustee, of all or any part of such Trust Property, or to the extent
required by law to act as separate trustee of any such property, in either case with such powers as
may be provided in the instrument of appointment, and to vest in such Person or Persons in the
capacity aforesaid, any property, title, right or power deemed necessary or desirable, subject to
the other provisions of this Section. 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

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

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

     (a) The Trust Securities shall be executed by at least one Administrative Trustee the Common
Securities shall be delivered by an Administrative Trustee, and the Capital 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 Issuer Trustees specified hereunder shall be exercised solely by
such Issuer Trustees and not by such co-trustee or separate trustee.

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

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

performed by such co-trustee or separate trustee.

     (c) The Property Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing executed by it, with the
written concurrence of the Depositor, may accept the resignation of or remove any co-trustee or
separate trustee appointed under this Section, and, in case a Debenture Event of Default has

remove, any such co-trustee or separate trustee without the concurrence of the Depositor. Upon the
written request of the Property Trustee, the Depositor shall join with the Property Trustee in the

Section 8.10 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

41

 

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

     Subject to the immediately preceding paragraph, a Relevant Trustee may resign at any time by
giving written notice thereof to the Holders. If the instrument of acceptance by the successor
Issuer Trustee required by Section 8.11 shall not have been delivered to the Relevant Trustee
within 60 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the Relevant Trustee may petition,
at the expense of the Issuer Trust, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Relevant Trustee.

     Unless a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any Issuer Trustee
may be removed at any time by Act of the Holder of the Common Securities. If a Debenture Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Property Trustee or Delaware Trustee, or both of
them, may be removed at such time by Act of the Holders of a majority in Liquidation Amount of the
Capital Securities, delivered to the Relevant Trustee (in its individual capacity and on behalf of
the Trust). An Administrative Trustee may be removed by the Holder of the Common Securities at any
time. In no event will the Holders of the Capital Securities have a right to vote to appoint,
remove or replace the Administrative Trustees.

     If any Issuer Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting as Issuer
Trustee, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of any Issuer Trustee for any reason, at a time
when no Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Holder of the Common
Securities, by Act, shall promptly appoint a successor Issuer Trustee or Issuer Trustees, and the
retiring Issuer Trustee shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11, except that
a successor Administrative Trustee need not comply with Section 8.11. If the Property Trustee or
the Delaware Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of continuing to act as the
Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, at a time when a Debenture Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Holders of the Capital Securities, by Act of the
Holders of a majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities then Outstanding shall
promptly appoint a successor Relevant Trustee or Trustees, and such successor Trustee shall comply
with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11. If an Administrative Trustee shall resign, be
removed or become incapable of acting as Administrative Trustee, at a time when a Debenture Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Holder of the Common Securities, by Act,
shall promptly appoint a successor Administrative Trustee or Trustees. If no successor Relevant
Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Holder of the Common Securities or the Holders of the
Capital Securities and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 8.11 if applicable,
any Holder who has been a Holder of Trust Securities for at least six months may, on behalf of
himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Relevant Trustee.

     The Property Trustee shall, at the expense of the Issuer Trust, give notice of each
resignation and each removal of an Issuer Trustee and each appointment of a successor Issuer
Trustee to all Holders in the manner provided in Section 10.8 and shall give notice to the
Depositor. 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.

42

 

     Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Trust Agreement, in the event any
Administrative Trustee who is a natural person dies or becomes, in the opinion of the Holder of
Common Securities, incompetent or incapacitated, the vacancy created by such death, incompetence or
incapacity may be filled by appointment by the remaining Administrative Trustees.

Section 8.11 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. In case of the appointment hereunder
of a successor Relevant Trustee, other than the appointment of a successor Administrative Trustee
pursuant to Section 8.19(a), the retiring Relevant Trustee (if requested by the Depositor) and each
successor Relevant Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities shall execute and deliver an
amendment hereto wherein each successor Relevant Trustee shall accept such appointment and which
(a) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to,
and to vest in, each successor Relevant Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the
retiring Relevant Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities and the Issuer Trust and (b) shall
add to or change any of the provisions of this Trust Agreement as shall be necessary to provide for
or facilitate the administration of the Issuer Trust by more than one Relevant Trustee, it being
understood that nothing herein or in such amendment shall constitute such Relevant Trustees
co-trustees and upon the execution and delivery of such amendment the resignation or removal of the
retiring Relevant Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such
successor Relevant Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with
all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Relevant Trustee; but, on request of the
Issuer Trust or any successor Relevant Trustee such retiring Relevant Trustee shall, upon payment
of all amounts owed it hereunder, duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Relevant
Trustee all Trust Property, all proceeds thereof and money held by such retiring Relevant Trustee
hereunder with respect to the Trust Securities and the Issuer Trust.

     Upon request of any such successor Relevant Trustee, the Issuer Trust shall execute any and
all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Relevant
Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the first or second preceding paragraph,
as the case may be.

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

Section 8.12 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any Person into
which the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may
be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such
Relevant Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all the
corporate trust business of such Relevant Trustee, shall be the successor of such Relevant Trustee
hereunder, provided such Person shall be otherwise eligible under this Article, without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

Section 8.13 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Depositor or the Issuer Trust. If
and when the Property Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Depositor or the Issuer Trust
(or any other obligor upon the Capital Securities), the Property Trustee shall be subject to the

43

 

provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Depositor or
the Issuer Trust (or any such other obligor).

     In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other similar judicial proceeding relative
to the Issuer Trust or any other obligor upon the Trust Securities or the property of the Issuer
Trust or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Property Trustee (irrespective of whether
any Distributions on the Trust Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by
declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Property Trustee shall have made any
demand on the Issuer Trust for the payment of any past due Distributions) shall be entitled and
empowered, to the fullest extent permitted by law, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

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

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official
in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the
Property Trustee and, in the event the Property Trustee shall consent to the making of such
payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Property Trustee any amount due it for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Property Trustee, its agents
and counsel, and any other amounts due the Property Trustee.

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

Section 8.14 Reports by Property Trustee.

     (a) Not later than 60 days after May 15 of each year commencing with May 15, 2007, the
Property Trustee shall transmit to all Holders in accordance with Section 10.8, and to the
Depositor, a brief report dated as of the immediately preceding March 31, with respect to:

          (i) its eligibility under Section 8.7 or, in lieu thereof, if to the best of its knowledge it

delegate to any other natural person over the age of 21 his or her power for the purpose of
executing any documents contemplated in Section 2.7(a), including any registration statement or
amendment thereto filed with the Commission, or making any other governmental filing; and

45

 

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

Section 8.19 Appointment of Administrative Trustees.

     (a) The Administrative Trustees shall initially be Martin Grunst, an individual, and Thomas W.
Gallagher, an individual, and their successors shall be appointed by the Holder of the Common
Securities and may be removed by the Holder of the Common Securities at any time. Each
Administrative Trustee shall sign an agreement agreeing to comply with the terms of this Trust
Agreement. If at any time there is no Administrative Trustee, the Property Trustee or any Holder
who has been a Holder of Trust Securities for at least six months may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of one or more Administrative Trustee.

     (b) Whenever a vacancy in the number of Administrative Trustees shall occur, until such
vacancy is filled by the appointment of an Administrative Trustee in accordance with this Section
8.19, the Administrative Trustees in office, regardless of their number (and notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement), shall have all the powers granted to the Administrative
Trustees and shall discharge all the duties imposed upon the Administrative Trustees by this Trust
Agreement.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Trust Agreement, in the event any
Administrative Trustee who is a natural person dies or becomes, in the opinion of the Holder of
Common Securities, incompetent or incapacitated, the vacancy created by such death, incompetence or
incapacity may be filled by the unanimous act of the remaining Administrative Trustees if there
were at least two of them prior to such vacancy (with the successor in each case being a Person who
satisfies the eligibility requirement for Administrative Trustees set forth in Section 8.7).

ARTICLE IX

TERMINATION, LIQUIDATION AND MERGER

Section 9.1 Dissolution Upon Expiration Date. Unless earlier dissolved, the Issuer Trust
shall automatically dissolve on [                    ], 20[     ] (the “Expiration Date”).

Section 9.2 Early Termination. The first to occur of any of the following events is an
“Early Termination Event,” upon the occurrence of which the Issuer Trust shall dissolve:

     (a) the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event in respect of, or the dissolution or liquidation of,
the Holder of the Common Securities;

     (b) subject to obtaining any required regulatory approval, the written direction to the
Property Trustee from the Holder of the Common Securities at any time to dissolve the Issuer Trust
and, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Issuer Trust as provided by applicable
law, distribute Debentures to Holders in exchange for the Capital Securities;

46

 

     (c) the redemption of all of the Capital 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 Termination. The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Issuer
Trustees and the Issuer Trust created and continued hereby shall terminate upon the latest to occur
of the following: (a) the distribution by the Property Trustee to Holders 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, of all amounts required to be distributed hereunder upon the final payment
of the Trust Securities; (b) the payment of any expenses owed by the Issuer Trust; and (c) the
discharge of all administrative duties of the Administrative Trustees, including the performance of
any tax reporting obligations with respect to the Issuer Trust or the Holders.

Section 9.4 Liquidation.

     (a) If an Early Termination 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 creditors of the Issuer Trust as provided by applicable law, to each Holder a
Like Amount of Debentures, subject to Section 9.4(d). Notice of liquidation shall be prepared by an
Administrative Trustee and shall be given by the Property Trustee by first-class mail, postage
prepaid mailed not later than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Liquidation Date to each Holder
of Trust Securities at such Holder’s address appearing in the Securities Register. All notices of
liquidation shall:

          (i) state the Liquidation Date;

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

          (iii) provide such 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 Administrative Trustees) shall
deem appropriate.

     (b) Unless Section 9.2(c) or 9.4(d) applies, in order to effect the liquidation of the Issuer
Trust and the distribution of Debentures to Holders, the Property Trustee shall establish a record
date for such distribution (which shall be not more than 45 days prior to the Liquidation Date)
and, either itself acting as exchange agent or through the appointment of a separate exchange
agent, shall establish such procedures as it shall deem appropriate to effect the distribution of
Debentures in exchange for the Outstanding Trust Securities Certificates.

     (c) Unless 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

47

 

of such certificates to the exchange agent for exchange, (iii) the Depositor shall use its
best efforts to have the Debentures listed on the New York Stock Exchange or on such other
exchange, interdealer quotation system or self-regulatory organization as the Capital Securities
are then listed, (iv) any Trust Securities Certificates not so surrendered for exchange will be
deemed to represent a Like Amount of Debentures, accruing interest at the rate provided for in the
Debentures from the last Distribution Date on which a Distribution was made on such Trust
Securities Certificates until such certificates are so surrendered (and until such certificates are
so surrendered, no payments of interest or principal will be made to Holders of Trust Securities
Certificates with respect to such Debentures) and (v) all rights of Holders holding Trust
Securities will cease, except the right of such Holders to receive Debentures upon surrender of
Trust Securities Certificates.

     (d) If, notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 9.4, whether because of an order
for dissolution entered by a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise, distribution of the
Debentures in the manner provided herein is determined by the Property Trustee not to be practical,
then the Trust Property shall be liquidated, and the Issuer Trust shall be wound-up by the Property
Trustee in such manner as the Property Trustee determines. In such event, on the date of the
dissolution 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 (such
amount being the “Liquidation Distribution”). If, upon any such winding up, the Liquidation
Distribution can be paid only in part because the Issuer Trust has insufficient assets available to
pay in full the aggregate Liquidation Distribution, then, subject to the next succeeding sentence,
the amounts payable by the Issuer Trust on the Trust Securities shall be paid on a pro rata basis
(based upon Liquidation Amounts). The Holders of the Common Securities will be entitled to receive
Liquidation Distributions upon any such winding-up pro rata (determined as aforesaid) with Holders
of Capital Securities, except that, if a Debenture Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(a)(1),
5.1(b)(2) or 5.1(b)(3) of the Indenture has occurred and is continuing, the Capital Securities
shall have a priority over the Common Securities as provided in Section 4.3.

Section 9.5 Mergers, Consolidations, Amalgamations or Replacements of the Issuer Trust.
The Issuer Trust may not merge with or into, consolidate, amalgamate, or be replaced by, or convey,
transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any entity, except
pursuant to this Article Nine. At the request of the Holder of the Common Securities and with the
consent of the Holders of a majority (based on Liquidation Amounts) of the Capital 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 Capital Securities or (b) substitutes for
the Capital Securities other securities having substantially the same terms as the Capital
Securities (“Successor Securities”) so long as the Successor Securities rank the same as the
Capital Securities rank in priority with respect to distributions and payments upon liquidation,
redemption and otherwise, (ii) a trustee of such successor entity possessing the same powers and
duties as the Property Trustee is appointed as the holder of the Debentures, (iii) such merger,
consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not cause the Capital
Securities (including any Successor Securities) to be downgraded by any nationally

48

 

recognized statistical rating organization, (iv) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation,
replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not adversely affect the rights, preferences and
privileges of the Holder of the Capital Securities (including any Successor Securities) in any
material respect, (v) such successor entity has a purpose substantially identical to that of the
Issuer Trust, (vi) prior to such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance,
transfer or lease, the Issuer Trust has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (a) such
merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not adversely
affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the Holders of the Capital Securities (including
any Successor Securities) in any material respect, and (b) following such merger, consolidation,
amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, neither the Issuer Trust nor such
successor entity will be required to register as an investment company under the 1940 Act and (vii)
the Depositor owns all of the common securities of such successor entity and guarantees the
obligations of such successor entity under the Successor Securities at least to the extent provided
by the Guarantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer Trust shall not, except with the
consent of Holders of all Outstanding Capital Securities, consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or
into, or be replaced by or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an
entirety to any other Person or permit any other Person to consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or
into, or replace it if such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, replacement, conveyance, transfer
or lease would cause the Issuer Trust or the successor Person to be classified as an association
taxable as a corporation or as other than a grantor trust for United States federal income tax
purposes.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Section 10.1 Limitation of Rights of Holders. The death or incapacity, or the dissolution,
liquidation, termination, or the bankruptcy of any Person having an interest, beneficial or
otherwise, in Trust Securities shall not operate to terminate this Trust Agreement, nor dissolve,
terminate or annul the Trust, nor entitle the legal representatives, successors or heirs of such
Person or any Holder for such Person, to claim an accounting, take any action or bring any
proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the arrangements contemplated hereby, nor
otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them.

make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Trust Agreement,
which shall not be inconsistent with the other provisions of this Trust Agreement, (ii) by the
Holder of the Common Securities to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of this Trust
Agreement to such extent as shall be necessary to ensure that the Issuer Trust will not be
classified for United States federal income tax purposes as an association taxable as a corporation

ensure that the Issuer Trust will not be required to register as an investment company under the
1940 Act, or (iii) by a Relevant Trustee pursuant to Section 8.11; provided, however, that such
action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any

49

 

Holder, and any such amendments of this Trust Agreement shall become effective when notice
thereof is given to the Holders.

     (b) Except as provided in Section 10.2(c) hereof, any provision of this Trust Agreement may be
amended by the Holder of the Common Securities with (i) the consent of Holders of at least a
majority in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Outstanding Trust Securities and (ii) 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 in accordance with such amendment will not affect the
Issuer Trust’s status as a grantor trust or cause the Issuer Trust to be an association taxable as
a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes or the Issuer Trust’s exemption from
status of an investment company under the 1940 Act.

     (c) In addition to and notwithstanding any other provision in this Trust Agreement, without
the consent of each Holder, this Trust Agreement may not be amended to (i) change the amount or

enforcement of any such payment on or after such date; notwithstanding any other provision herein,
without the unanimous consent of the Holders, this paragraph (c) of this Section 10.2 may not be
amended.

     (d) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Trust Agreement, no Issuer Trustee shall
enter into or consent to any amendment to this Trust Agreement which would cause the Issuer Trust
to be classified as an association taxable as a corporation or not to be a grantor trust for United
States federal income tax purposes or to fail or cease to qualify for the exemption from status of
an investment company under the 1940 Act.

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

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

     (g) No amendment to this Trust Agreement that affects the Property Trustee’s or the Delaware
Trustee’s rights, duties or immunities under this Trust Agreement or would otherwise expose the
Property Trustee to any liability or be contrary to applicable law shall be adopted unless the
prior written consent to such amendment be received by the Depositor from the Property Trustee or
the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be. The Property Trustee shall 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. If 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.

benefit of Holders, that at the expense of the Depositor, it shall file an answer with the
bankruptcy court or otherwise properly contest the filing of such petition by the Depositor against

agreed in writing not to take such action and should be stopped and precluded therefrom and such
other defenses, if any, as counsel for the Issuer Trustees or the Issuer Trust may assert. The
provisions of this Section 10.9 shall survive the termination of this Trust Agreement.

purposes of the Trust Indenture Act.

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

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

stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural
catastrophes or acts of god, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications
