SECTION 2.6          Declaration
Defaults; Waiver.

 

(a)          The Holders of a
Majority in liquidation amount of Trust Preferred Securities may, by vote, on
behalf of the Holders of all of the Trust Preferred Securities, waive any past
Declaration Default in respect of the Trust Preferred Securities and its
consequences, provided, that if the underlying Indenture Event of Default:

 

(i)            is not waivable under
the Indenture, the Declaration Default shall also not be waivable; or

 

(ii)           is waivable only with
the consent of holders of more than a majority in principal amount of the
Junior Subordinated Debt Securities (a “Super Majority”) affected
thereby, only the Holders of at least the proportion in aggregate liquidation
amount of the Trust Preferred Securities that the relevant Super Majority
represents of the aggregate principal amount of the Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities outstanding may waive such Declaration Default in respect of the
Trust Preferred Securities under the Declaration of Trust.

 

The foregoing provisions
of this Section 2.6(a) shall be in lieu of § 316(a)(1)(B) of the
Trust Indenture Act and such § 316(a)(1)(B) of the Trust Indenture Act is
hereby expressly excluded from this Declaration of Trust and the Securities, as
permitted by the Trust Indenture Act. 
Upon such waiver, any such default shall cease to exist, and any
Declaration Default with respect to the Trust Preferred Securities arising
therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this
Declaration of Trust, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or
other default or a Declaration Default with respect to the Trust Preferred
Securities or impair any right consequent thereon.  Any waiver by the Holders of the Trust
Preferred Securities of a Declaration Default with respect to the Trust
Preferred Securities shall also be deemed to constitute a waiver by the Holders
of the Common Securities of any such Declaration Default with respect to the
Common Securities for all purposes of this Declaration of Trust without any
further act, vote, or consent of the Holders of the Common Securities.

 

(b)          The Holders of a
Majority in liquidation amount of the Common Securities may, by vote, on behalf
of the Holders of all of the Common Securities, waive any past Declaration
Default with respect to the Common Securities and its consequences, provided,
that if the underlying Indenture Event of Default:

 

(i)            is not waivable under
the Indenture, except where the Holders of the Common Securities are deemed to
have waived such Declaration Default as provided in this Section 2.6(b),
the Declaration Default shall also not be waivable; or

 

(ii)           is waivable only with
the consent of a Super Majority, except where the Holders of the Common
Securities are deemed to have waived such Declaration Default as provided in
this Section 2.6(b), only the Holders of at least the proportion in
aggregate

 

-9-

 

liquidation amount of the
Common Securities that the relevant Super Majority represents of the aggregate
principal amount of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities outstanding may
waive such Declaration Default in respect of the Common Securities under the
Declaration of Trust;

 

provided, further each
Holder of Common Securities will be deemed to have waived any such Declaration
Default and all Declaration Defaults with respect to the Common Securities and
its consequences until all Declaration Defaults with respect to the Trust Preferred
Securities have been cured, waived or otherwise eliminated, and until such
Declaration Defaults with respect to the Trust Preferred Securities have been
so cured, waived or otherwise eliminated, the Institutional Trustee will be
deemed to be acting solely on behalf of the Holders of the Trust Preferred
Securities and only the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities will have the
right to direct the Institutional Trustee in accordance with the terms of the
Securities.  The foregoing provisions of
this Section 2.6(b) shall be in lieu of §§ 316(a)(1)(A) and
316(a)(1)(B) of the Trust Indenture Act and such §§ 316(a)(1)(A) and
316(a)(1)(B) of the Trust Indenture Act are hereby expressly excluded from
this Declaration of Trust and the Securities, as permitted by the Trust
Indenture Act.  Subject to the foregoing
provisions of this Section 2.6(b), upon the waiver of a Declaration
Default by the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Common
Securities, any such default shall cease to exist and any Declaration Default
with respect to the Common Securities arising therefrom shall be deemed to have
been cured for every purpose of this Declaration of Trust, but no such waiver
shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Declaration Default with
respect to the Common Securities or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

(c)          A waiver of an Indenture
Event of Default by the Institutional Trustee at the direction of the Holders
of the Trust Preferred Securities, constitutes a waiver of the corresponding
Declaration Default.  The foregoing
provisions of this Section 2.6(c) shall be in lieu of § 316(a)(1)(B) of
the Trust Indenture Act and such § 316(a)(1)(B) of the Trust Indenture Act
is hereby expressly excluded from this Declaration of Trust and the Securities,
as permitted by the Trust Indenture Act.

 

SECTION 2.7          Declaration
Default; Notice.

 

(a)          The Institutional
Trustee shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of a Declaration Default,
transmit by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Holders of the
Securities, notices of (i) all defaults with respect to the Securities
actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Institutional Trustee, unless
such defaults have been cured before the giving of such notice (the term “defaults”
for the purposes of this Section 2.7(a) being hereby defined to be an
Indenture Event of Default, not including any periods of grace provided for
therein and irrespective of the giving of any notice provided therein) and (ii) any
notice of default received from the Indenture Trustee with respect to the
Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, which notice from the Institutional
Trustee to the Holders shall state that an Indenture Event of Default also
constitutes a Declaration Default; provided that, except for a default in the
payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any of the Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities, the Institutional Trustee shall be protected in
withholding such notice if and so long as a Responsible Officer of the
Institutional Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such
notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Securities.

 

-10-

 

(b)          The
Institutional Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any default
except:

 

(i)            a default under
Sections 5.7(b) and 5.7(c) of the Indenture; or

 

(ii)           any default as to which
the Institutional Trustee shall have received written notice or of which a
Responsible Officer of the Institutional Trustee charged with the
administration of the Declaration of Trust shall have actual knowledge.

for United States federal income tax purposes; or

 

(x)          revoke any action

SECTION 3.8          Powers and Duties of
the Institutional Trustee.

 

(a)          The legal title to the
Junior Subordinated Debt Securities shall be owned by and held of record in the
name of the Institutional Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Holders of
the Securities.  The right, title and
interest of the Institutional Trustee to the Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities shall vest automatically in each Person who may hereafter be
appointed as Institutional Trustee in accordance with Section 5.6.  Such vesting and cessation of title shall be
effective whether or not conveyancing documents with regard to the Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities have been executed and delivered.

 

(b)          The Institutional
Trustee shall not transfer its right, title and interest in the Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities to the Administrative Trustees or to the Delaware
Trustee (if the Institutional Trustee does not also act as Delaware Trustee).

 

(c)          The Institutional
Trustee shall:

 

(i)            establish and maintain
a segregated non-interest bearing trust account (the “Institutional Trustee
Account”) in the name of and under the exclusive control of the
Institutional Trustee on behalf of the Holders of the Securities and, upon the
receipt of payments of funds made in respect of the Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities held by the Institutional Trustee, deposit such funds into the
Institutional Trustee Account and make payments to the Holders of the Trust
Preferred Securities and Holders of the Common Securities from the
Institutional Trustee Account in accordance with Section 6.1.  Funds

 

-15-

 

in the Institutional
Trustee Account shall be held uninvested until disbursed in accordance with
this Declaration of Trust.  The
Institutional Trustee Account shall be an account that is maintained with a
banking institution the rating on whose long-term unsecured indebtedness
assigned by a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization,” as that
term is defined for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Securities
Act, is at least equal to the rating assigned to the Trust Preferred Securities
by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization;

 

(ii)           engage in such
ministerial activities as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect the
redemption of the Trust Preferred Securities and the Common Securities to the
extent the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities are redeemed or mature; and

 

(iii)          upon written notice of
distribution issued by the Administrative Trustees in accordance with the terms
of the Securities, engage in such ministerial activities as shall be necessary
or appropriate to effect the distribution of the Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities to Holders of Securities upon the occurrence of a Tax Event or a
Capital Treatment Event, or other specified circumstances pursuant to the terms
of the Securities.

 

(d)          The Institutional
Trustee shall take all actions and perform such duties as may be specifically
required of the Institutional Trustee pursuant to the terms of the Securities.

 

(e)          Subject to Section 2.6,
the Institutional Trustee shall take any Legal Action that arises out of or in
connection with a Declaration Default of which a Responsible Officer of the
Institutional Trustee has actual knowledge or the Institutional Trustee’s
duties and obligations under this Declaration of Trust or the Trust Indenture
Act.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a
Declaration Default has occurred and is continuing and such event is
attributable to the failure of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Issuer to
pay interest, principal or other required payments on the Junior Subordinated
Debt Securities on the date such interest, principal or other required payments
are otherwise payable (or in the case of redemption, on the redemption date),
then a Holder of Trust Preferred Securities may directly institute a proceeding
against the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Issuer for enforcement of
payment to such Holder of the principal of or interest on Junior Subordinated
Debt Securities having a principal amount equal to the aggregate liquidation amount
of the Trust Preferred Securities of such Holder (a “Direct Action”) on
or after the respective due date specified in the Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities.  Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Declaration of Trust or the Indenture, the Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities Issuer shall have the right to set-off any payment
it is otherwise required to make under the Indenture in respect of any Trust
Preferred Security to the extent the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Issuer
has heretofore made, or is currently on the date of such payment making, a
payment under the Trust Preferred Securities Guarantee or a Direct Action.

 

(f)           The Institutional
Trustee shall continue to serve as a Trustee until either:

 

(i)            the Trust has been
completely liquidated and the proceeds of the liquidation distributed to the
Holders of Securities pursuant to the terms of the Securities and this
Declaration of Trust (including Annex I); or

 

-16-

 

(ii)           a Successor Institutional
Trustee has been appointed and has accepted that appointment in accordance with
Section 5.6.

 

(g)          The Institutional
Trustee shall have the legal power to exercise all of the rights, powers and
privileges of a holder of Junior Subordinated Debt Securities under the
Indenture and, if a Declaration Default actually known to a Responsible Officer
of the Institutional Trustee occurs and is continuing, the Institutional
Trustee shall, for the benefit of Holders of the Securities, enforce its rights
as holder of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities subject to the rights of
the Holders pursuant to the terms of such Securities, this Declaration of Trust
(including Annex I), the Statutory Trust Act and the Trust Indenture Act.

 

(h)          Subject to this Section 3.8,
the Institutional Trustee shall have none of the duties, liabilities, powers or
the authority of the Administrative Trustees set forth in Section 3.6.

 

The Institutional Trustee
must exercise the powers set forth in this Section 3.8 in a manner that is
consistent with the purposes and functions of the Trust set out in Section 3.3,
and the Institutional Trustee shall have no power to and shall not take any
action that is inconsistent with the purposes and functions of the Trust set
out in Section 3.3.

 

SECTION 3.9          Certain Duties and
Responsibilities of the Institutional Trustee.

 

(a)          The Institutional
Trustee, before the occurrence of any Declaration Default and after the curing
of all Declaration Defaults that may have occurred, shall undertake to perform
only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Declaration of Trust and
no implied covenants shall be read into this Declaration of Trust against the
Institutional Trustee.  Subject to any
voting right of the Holders under the Securities, if the Institutional Trustee
is required to decide between alternative causes of action under this
Declaration of Trust, construe ambiguous provisions in this Declaration of
Trust or is unsure of the application of any provision of this Declaration of
Trust, the Institutional Trustee will take such action as directed by the
Sponsor and, if not so directed, shall take such action as it deems
necessary.  In case a Declaration Default
has occurred (that has not been cured or waived pursuant to Section 2.6)
of which a Responsible Officer of the Institutional Trustee has actual
knowledge, the Institutional Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and
powers vested in it by this Declaration of Trust, and use the same degree of
care and skill in the exercise of such rights and powers, as a prudent person
would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own
affairs.

 

(b)          No provision of this
Declaration of Trust shall be construed to relieve the Institutional Trustee
from liability for its own bad faith, its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:

 

(i)            prior to the
occurrence of a Declaration Default and after the curing or waiving of all such
Declaration Defaults that may have occurred:

 

(A)         the duties and
obligations of the Institutional Trustee shall be determined solely by the
express provisions of this Declaration of Trust and the Institutional Trustee
shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations
as are specifically set forth in this Declaration of Trust, and no

 

-17-

 

implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Declaration of Trust against the
Institutional Trustee; and

 

(B)         in the absence of bad
faith on the part of the Institutional Trustee, the Institutional Trustee may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the
opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the
Institutional Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Declaration of
Trust; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions that by any
provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Institutional
Trustee, the Institutional Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to
determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Declaration
of Trust (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical
calculations or other facts stated therein, absent manifest error);

 

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

 

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

 

(iv)         no provision of this
Declaration of Trust shall require the Institutional Trustee to expend or risk
its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or
powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment of
such funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it under the terms of this
Declaration of Trust or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Institutional
Trustee against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it;

 

(v)          the Institutional
Trustee’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safe keeping and physical
preservation of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities and the Institutional
Trustee Account shall be to deal with such property in a similar manner as the
Institutional Trustee deals with similar property for its own account, subject
to the protections and limitations on liability afforded to the Institutional
Trustee under this Declaration of Trust and the Trust Indenture Act;

 

(vi)         the Institutional Trustee
shall have no duty or liability for or with respect to the value, genuineness,
existence or sufficiency of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities or the
payment of any taxes or assessments levied thereon or in connection therewith;

 

(vii)        the Institutional Trustee
shall not be liable for any interest on any money received by it except as it
may otherwise agree with the Sponsor. 
Money held by the

 

-18-

 

Institutional Trustee
need not be segregated from other funds held by it except in relation to the
Institutional Trustee Account maintained by the Institutional Trustee pursuant
to Section 3.8(c)(i) and except to the extent otherwise required by
law; and

 

(viii)       the Institutional Trustee
shall not be responsible for monitoring the compliance by the Administrative
Trustees or the Sponsor with their respective duties under this Declaration of
Trust, nor shall the Institutional Trustee be liable for any default or
misconduct of the Administrative Trustees or the Sponsor.

shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated

the obligations of the Trust under the Securities; or

 

(B)         substitutes for the Securities
other securities having substantially the same terms as the Trust Preferred
Securities (the “Successor Securities”) so long as the Successor
Securities rank the same as the Trust Preferred Securities rank with respect to
Distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption and otherwise;

 

(ii)           the Junior Subordinated
Debt Securities Issuer expressly acknowledges a trustee of the Successor Entity

national securities exchange or with any other organization on which the Trust
Preferred Securities are then listed or quoted, if any;

consolidation, amalgamation or replacement does not cause the Trust Preferred
Securities (including any Successor Securities) to be downgraded by any
nationally recognized statistical rating organization;

consolidation, amalgamation or replacement does not adversely affect the
rights, preferences and privileges of the Holders of the Securities

such Holders’ interests in the new entity as a result of such merger,
consolidation, amalgamation or replacement);

 

(vi)         such Successor Entity has
a purpose identical to that of the Trust;

any Successor Securities) in any material respect (other than with respect to
any dilution of the Holders’ interest in the new entity); and

 

(B)         following such merger,
consolidation, amalgamation or replacement, neither the Trust nor the Successor
Entity will be required to register as an Investment Company; and

permitted successor or assignee owns all of the Common Securities and
guarantees the obligations of such Successor Entity under the Successor

the Trust with respect to the Trustees.

the Trust shall not, except with the consent of Holders of 100% in liquidation
amount of the Securities, consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or be
replaced by any other entity or permit any other entity to consolidate,
amalgamate, merge with or into, or replace it, if in the opinion of a
nationally recognized independent tax counsel experienced in such matters, such
consolidation, amalgamation, merger or replacement would cause the Trust or the
Successor Entity to be classified as other than a domestic grantor trust for
United States federal income tax purposes.

 

SECTION 3.16       Paying Agent.  The initial Paying Agent shall be The Bank of
New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. and any co-paying agent chosen by the

additional Paying Agent

unpaid Distributions on, the Trust Preferred Securities.  Such election (i) shall be exercisable
effective by such Sponsor Affiliated Holder delivering to the Institutional
Trustee a written notice of such election (A) specifying the liquidation
amount of the Trust Preferred Securities with respect to which such election is
being made and (B) the date on which such exchange shall occur, which date
shall not be less than three (3) Business Days after the receipt by the
Institutional Trustee of such election notice, and which may be any date other
than the record date for any Distribution or a date from such record date to
and including the Distribution Date for such Distribution and (ii) shall
be conditioned upon such Sponsor Affiliated Holder having delivered or caused to
be delivered to the Institutional Trustee or its designee the Trust Preferred
Securities which are the subject of such election by 10:00 A.M. New York
City time, on the date on which such exchange is to occur.  After the exchange, such Trust Preferred Securities
will be cancelled and will no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights
of the Sponsor or its Affiliate(s) with respect to such Trust Preferred
Securities will cease, including accumulated but unpaid Distributions thereon.  In the event such Trust Preferred Securities
are Book Entry Interests, upon such exchange the Institutional Trustee, in its
capacity as Registrar, shall cause an annotation to be made on the related
Global Certificate or certificates evidencing such Book-Entry Interests to
evidence the reduction in the liquidation amount thereof resulting from such
cancellation.

 

(b)        Notwithstanding anything else in this Declaration of Trust to
the contrary, in order to effectuate the exchanges contemplated in
(a) above, the Trust is hereby authorized to execute, deliver and perform,
and the Sponsor, the Institutional Trustee, any Administrative Trustee or the
Registrar, on behalf of the Trust, acting singly or collectively, is hereby
authorized to execute and deliver on behalf of the Trust, an exchange
agreement, cancellation letter, and any and all other documents, agreements, or
certificates contemplated by or related to the exchanges made pursuant to
(a) above, in each case without further vote or approval of any other
Person.  For the avoidance of doubt, the
exchanges contemplated in (a) above shall not be deemed “redemptions” for
any purposes of this Declaration of Trust or the terms of the Trust Preferred
Securities.

of notice of such meeting except where an Administrative Trustee attends a
meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any activity
on the ground that the meeting has not been lawfully called or convened.  Unless provided otherwise in this Declaration
of Trust, any action of the Administrative Trustees may be taken at a meeting

not prohibited by applicable law or contrary to the provisions of the Trust, as
set forth herein.

merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Institutional Trustee or the
Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, shall be a party, or any corporation
succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the
Institutional Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, shall be the
successor of the Institutional Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may

void.

 

(b)        Subject to this Article IX, Trust Preferred Securities

transfer Common Securities only to the Sponsor or a Related Party of the
Sponsor; provided, that any such transfer is subject to the condition precedent
that the transferor obtain the written opinion of nationally recognized
independent counsel experienced in such matters that such transfer would not

United States federal income tax purposes as a domestic grantor trust; and

 

(ii)        the Trust would be an Investment Company
or the transferee would become an Investment Company.

 

SECTION 9.2       Transfer
of Certificates.  The Administrative
Trustees shall keep or cause to be kept a register for registering the
Certificates and transfers and exchanges of the Certificates, in which the
Administrative Trustees or the transfer agent and registrar designated by the
Administrative Trustees (the “Registrar”) shall provide for the
registration of Certificates and of transfers of Certificates, which will be
effected without charge but only upon payment in respect of any tax or other
government charges that may be imposed in relation to it.  Upon surrender for registration of transfer
of any Certificate, the Registrar shall cause one or more new Certificates to
be issued in the name of the designated transferee or transferees.  Every Certificate surrendered for
registration of transfer shall be accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by the Holder or
such Holder’s

shall be deemed to have agreed to be bound by this Declaration of Trust.  The Institutional Trustee shall be the
initial Registrar.

 

SECTION 9.3       Deemed
Security Holders.  The Trustees may
treat the Person in whose name any Certificate shall be registered on the books
and records of the Trust as the sole holder of such Certificate and of the
Securities represented by such Certificate for purposes of receiving

be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such
Certificate or in the Securities represented by such Certificate on the part of
any Person, whether or not the Trust shall have actual or other notice thereof.

 

SECTION 9.4       Book

specified in the terms of the Trust Preferred Securities, the Trust Preferred
Securities Certificates, on original issuance, will be issued in the form of
one or more, fully registered, global Trust Preferred Security Certificates

Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Trust.  Such Global Certificates shall initially be
registered on the books and records of the Trust in the name of Cede &
Co., the nominee of DTC, and no Trust Preferred Security Beneficial Owner will
receive a definitive Trust Preferred Security Certificate representing such
Trust Preferred Security Beneficial Owner’s interests in such Global
Certificates, except as provided in Section 9.7.  Unless and until definitive, fully registered
Trust Preferred Security Certificates (the “Definitive Trust Preferred

sole holder of the Global Certificates and shall have no obligation to the
Trust Preferred Security Beneficial Owners;

 

(c)        to
the extent that the provisions of this Section 9.4 conflict with any other
provisions of this Declaration of Trust, the provisions of this
Section 9.4 shall control; and

 

(d)        the
rights of the Trust Preferred Security Beneficial Owners shall be exercised
only through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by
law and agreements between such Trust Preferred Security Beneficial Owners and
the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and
transmit payments of Distributions on the Global Certificates to such Clearing
Agency Participants.  DTC will make book
entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants.

Preferred Securities.

 

SECTION 9.7       Definitive Trust Preferred Security
Certificates.  If

 

(a)        a Clearing Agency elects to discontinue its services as a
securities depositary with respect to the Trust Preferred Securities and a
successor Clearing Agency is not appointed within 90 days after such
discontinuance pursuant to Section 9.6; or

 

(b)        the Administrative Trustees elect after consultation with the
Sponsor to terminate the book entry system through the Clearing Agency with
respect to the Trust Preferred Securities, then:

 

(i)         Definitive Trust Preferred Security
Certificates shall be prepared by the Administrative Trustees on behalf of the
Trust with respect to such Trust Preferred Securities; and

 

(ii)        upon surrender of the Global
Certificates by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions,
the Administrative Trustees shall cause Definitive Certificates to be delivered
to Trust Preferred Security Beneficial Owners in accordance with the
instructions of the Clearing Agency. 
Neither the Trustees nor the Trust shall be liable for any delay in
delivery of such instructions and each of them may conclusively rely on and
shall be protected in relying on, said instructions of the Clearing
Agency.  The Definitive Trust Preferred
Security 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 their execution thereof, and may have such letters,
numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such legends or
endorsements as the Administrative Trustees may deem appropriate, or as may be
required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made
pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any stock exchange on
which Trust Preferred Securities may be listed, or to conform to usage.

 

SECTION 9.8       Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen
Certificates.  If:

 

(a)        any mutilated Certificates should be surrendered to the
Administrative Trustees, or if the Administrative Trustees shall receive
evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Certificate; and

 

-36-

 

(b)        there shall be delivered to the Administrative Trustees such
security or indemnity as may be required by them to keep each of them harmless,

 

then, in the absence of
notice that such Certificate shall have been acquired by a bona fide or
protected purchaser, any Administrative Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall
execute and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like denomination.  In connection with the issuance of any new
Certificate under this Section 9.8, the Administrative Trustees 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 Certificate issued pursuant to
this Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of an ownership interest
in the relevant Securities, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost,
stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

OF SECURITIES, TRUSTEES OR OTHERS

 

SECTION 10.1     Liability.

 

(a)        Except as expressly set forth in this Declaration of Trust,
the Trust Preferred Securities Guarantee and the terms of the Securities, the
Sponsor shall not be:

 

(i)         personally liable for the return of any
portion of the capital contributions (or any return thereon) of the Holders of
the Securities which shall be made solely from assets of the Trust; and

 

(ii)        required to pay to the Trust or to any
Holder of Securities any deficit upon dissolution of the Trust or otherwise.

 

(b)        The Holder of the Common Securities shall be liable for all
of the debts and obligations of the Trust (other than with respect to the
Securities) to the extent not satisfied out of the Trust’s assets.

 

(c)        Pursuant to § 3803(a) of the Statutory Trust Act, the
Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities shall be entitled to the same
limitation of personal liability extended to stockholders of private
corporations for profit organized under the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware.

 

SECTION 10.2     Exculpation.

 

(a)        No Indemnified Person shall be liable, responsible or
accountable in damages or otherwise to the Trust or any Covered Person for any
loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or
omitted by such Indemnified Person in good faith on behalf of the Trust and in
a manner such Indemnified Person reasonably believed to be within the scope of
the authority conferred on such Indemnified Person by this Declaration of Trust
or by law, except that an Indemnified Person shall be liable for any such loss,
damage or claim incurred by 

 

-37-

 

reason of such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence
(or negligence in the case of the Institutional Trustee) or willful misconduct
with respect to such acts or omissions.

 

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

 

SECTION 10.3     Fiduciary Duty.

 

(a)        To the extent that, at law or in equity, an Indemnified
Person has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto
to the Trust or to any other Covered Person, an Indemnified Person acting under
this Declaration of Trust shall not be liable to the Trust or to any other
Covered Person for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this
Declaration of Trust.  The provisions of
this Declaration of Trust, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the
duties and liabilities of an Indemnified Person otherwise existing at law or in
equity (other than the duties imposed on the Institutional Trustee under the
Trust Indenture Act), are agreed by the parties hereto to replace such other
duties and liabilities of such Indemnified Person.

 

(b)        Unless otherwise expressly provided herein:

 

(i)         whenever a conflict of interest exists
or arises between any Covered Persons; or

 

(ii)        whenever this Declaration of Trust or
any other agreement contemplated herein or therein provides that an Indemnified
Person shall act in a manner that is, or provides terms that are, fair and
reasonable to the Trust or any Holder of Securities,

 

the Indemnified Person
shall resolve such conflict of interest, take such action or provide such
terms, considering in each case the relative interest of each party (including
its own interest) to such conflict, agreement, transaction or situation and the
benefits and burdens relating to such interests, any customary or accepted
industry practices, and any applicable generally accepted accounting practices
or principles.  In the absence of bad
faith by the Indemnified Person, the resolution, action or term so made, taken
or provided by the Indemnified Person shall not constitute a breach of this
Declaration of Trust or any other agreement contemplated herein or of any duty
or obligation of the Indemnified Person at law or in equity or otherwise.

 

(c)        Whenever in this Declaration of Trust an Indemnified Person
is permitted or required to make a decision:

 

(i)         in its “discretion” or under a grant of
similar authority, the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to consider such
interests and factors as it desires, including its own interests, and shall
have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or
factors affecting the Trust or any other Person; or

 

-38-

 

(ii)        in its “good faith” or under another
express standard, the Indemnified Person shall act under such express standard
and shall not be subject to any other or different standard imposed by this
Declaration of Trust or by applicable law.

 

SECTION 10.4     Indemnification.

 

(a)        (i) The Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Issuer shall
indemnify, to the full extent permitted by law, any Company Indemnified Person
who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the
Trust) by reason of the fact that he is or was a Company Indemnified Person
against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid
in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Trust,
and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause
to believe his conduct was unlawful.  The
termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement,
conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of
itself, create a presumption that the Company Indemnified Person did not act in
good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the best interests of the Trust, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

 

(ii)        The Junior Subordinated Debt Securities
Issuer shall indemnify, to the full extent permitted by law, any Company
Indemnified Person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to
any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the
Trust to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or
was a Company Indemnified Person against expenses (including attorneys’ fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or
settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Trust
and except that no such indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim,
issue or matter as to which such Company Indemnified Person shall have been
adjudged to be liable to the Trust unless and only to the extent that the Court
of Chancery of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was brought
shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability
but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such Court of Chancery
or such other court shall deem proper.

 

(iii)       To the extent that a Company Indemnified
Person shall be successful on the merits or otherwise (including dismissal of
an action without prejudice or the settlement of an action without admission of
liability) in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in
paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section 10.4(a), or in defense
of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified, to the full
extent permitted by law, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually
and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

 

-39-

 

(iv)       Any indemnification under paragraphs
(i) and (ii) of this Section 10.4(a) (unless ordered by a
court) shall be made by the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Issuer only as
authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of
the Company Indemnified Person is proper in the circumstances because he has
met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in paragraphs (i) and
(ii).  Such determination shall be made
(1) by the Administrative Trustees by a majority vote of a quorum
consisting of such Administrative Trustees who were not parties to such action,
suit or proceeding, (2) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if
obtainable, if a quorum of disinterested Administrative Trustees so directs, by
independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the Common
Security Holder of the Trust.

 

(v)        Expenses (including attorneys’ fees)
incurred by a Company Indemnified Person in defending a civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding referred to in
paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section 10.4(a) shall be
paid by the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Issuer in advance of the final
disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking
by or on behalf of such Company Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it
shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the
Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Issuer as authorized in this
Section 10.4(a).  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no advance shall be made by the Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities Issuer if a determination is reasonably and promptly made
(i) by the Administrative Trustees by a majority vote of a quorum of
disinterested Administrative Trustees, (ii) if such a quorum is not
obtainable, or, even if obtainable, if a quorum of disinterested Administrative
Trustees so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion or
(iii) the Common Security Holder of the Trust, that, based upon the facts
known to the Administrative Trustees, counsel or the Common Security Holder at
the time such determination is made, such Company Indemnified Person acted in
bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the Trust, or, with respect to any criminal
proceeding, that such Company Indemnified Person believed or had reasonable
cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. 
In no event shall any advance be made in instances where the
Administrative Trustees, independent legal counsel or Common Security Holder
reasonably determine that such person deliberately breached his duty to the
Trust or its Common or Trust Preferred Security Holders.

 

(vi)       The indemnification and advancement of
expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other paragraphs of this
Section 10.4(a) shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to
which those seeking indemnification and advancement of expenses may be entitled
under any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors of the
Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Issuer or Trust Preferred Security Holders
of the Trust or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to
action in another capacity while holding such office.  All rights to indemnification under this
Section 10.4(a) shall be deemed to be provided by a contract between
the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Issuer and each Company Indemnified
Person who serves in such capacity at any time while this
Section 10.4(a) is in effect. 
Any repeal or modification of this Section 10.4(a) shall not
affect any rights or obligations then existing.

 

-40-

 

(vii)      The Junior Subordinated Debt Securities
Issuer may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or
was a Company Indemnified Person against any liability asserted against him and
incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such,
whether or not the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Issuer would have the
power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this
Section 10.4(a).

 

(viii)      For purposes of this Section 10.4(a),
references to “the Trust” shall include, in addition to the resulting or
surviving entity, any constituent entity (including any constituent of a
constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger, so that any person who is
or was a director, trustee, officer or employee of such constituent entity, or
is or was serving at the request of such constituent entity as a director, trustee,
officer, employee or agent of another entity, shall stand in the same position
under the provisions of this Section 10.4(a) with respect to the
resulting or surviving entity as he would have with respect to such constituent
entity if its separate existence had continued.

 

(ix)       The indemnification and advancement of
expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this
Section 10.4(a) shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or
ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Company Indemnified
Person and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and
administrators of such a person.

 

(b)        The Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Issuer agrees to
indemnify the (i) Institutional Trustee, (ii) the Delaware Trustee,
(iii) any Affiliate of the Institutional Trustee and the Delaware Trustee,
and (iv) any officers, directors, shareholders, members, partners,
employees, representatives, custodians, nominees or agents of the Institutional
Trustee and the Delaware Trustee (each of the Persons in (i) through
(iv) being referred to as a “Fiduciary Indemnified Person”) for,
and to hold each Fiduciary Indemnified Person harmless against, any loss,
liability, claim, damage or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on
its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration
of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs and expenses (including
reasonable legal fees and expenses) of defending itself against or
investigating any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or
performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder.  The obligation to indemnify as set forth in
this Section 10.4(b) shall survive the resignation or removal of the
Institutional Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, and the
satisfaction and discharge of this Declaration of Trust.

 

SECTION 10.5     Outside Businesses.  Any Covered Person, the Sponsor, the Delaware
Trustee and the Institutional Trustee (subject to Section 5.3(c)) may
engage in or possess an interest in other business ventures of any nature or
description, independently or with others, similar or dissimilar to the
business of the Trust, and the Trust and the Holders of Securities shall have
no rights by virtue of this Declaration of Trust 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 Trust, shall not be
deemed wrongful or improper or the breach of any duty at law, in equity or
otherwise.  No Covered Person, the
Sponsor, the Delaware Trustee, or the Institutional Trustee shall be obligated
to present any particular investment or other opportunity to the Trust even if
such opportunity is of a character that, if presented to the Trust, could be
taken by the Trust, and any Covered Person, the Sponsor, the Delaware Trustee
and the 

 

-41-

 

Institutional 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 Covered Person, the Delaware Trustee and the Institutional Trustee
may engage or be interested in any financial or other transaction with the
Sponsor or any Affiliate of the Sponsor, or may act as depositary for, trustee
or agent for, or act on any committee or body of holders of, securities or
other obligations of the Sponsor or its Affiliates.

 

ARTICLE XI.

 

ACCOUNTING

 

SECTION 11.1     Fiscal Year.  The fiscal year (“Fiscal Year”) of the
Trust shall be the calendar year, or such other year as is required by the
Code.

 

SECTION 11.2     Certain Accounting Matters.

 

(a)        At all times during the existence of the Trust, the
Administrative Trustees shall keep, or cause to be kept, full books of account,
records and supporting documents, which shall reflect in reasonable detail,
each transaction of the Trust.  The books
of account shall be maintained on the accrual method of accounting, in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently
applied.  The Trust shall use the accrual
method of accounting for United States federal income tax purposes.

 

(b)        The Administrative Trustees shall cause to be prepared and
delivered to each of the Holders of Securities, to the extent, if any, required
by the Trust Indenture Act, within 90 days after the end of each Fiscal Year of
the Trust, annual financial statements of the Trust, including a balance sheet
of the Trust as of the end of such Fiscal Year, and the related statements of
income or loss;

 

(c)        The Administrative Trustees shall cause to be duly prepared
and delivered to each of the Holders of Securities, any annual United States
federal income tax information statement required by the Code, containing such
information with regard to the Securities held by each Holder as is required by
the Code and the Treasury Regulations. 
Notwithstanding any right under the Code to deliver any such statement
at a later date, the Administrative Trustees shall endeavor to deliver all such
statements within 30 days after the end of each Fiscal Year of the Trust.

 

(d)        The Administrative Trustees shall cause to be duly prepared
and filed with the appropriate taxing authority, an annual United States
federal income tax return, on a Form 1041 or such other form required by
United States federal income tax law, and any other annual income tax returns
required to be filed by the Administrative Trustees on behalf of the Trust with
any state or local taxing authority.

 

SECTION 11.3     Banking.  The Trust shall maintain one or more bank
accounts in the name and for the sole benefit of the Trust; provided, however,
that all payments of funds in respect of the Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities held by the Institutional Trustee shall be made directly to the
Institutional Trustee Account and no other funds of the Trust shall be
deposited in the Institutional Trustee Account. 
The sole signatories for such accounts shall be designated by 

 

-42-

 

the Administrative Trustees; provided, however, that the Institutional
Trustee shall designate the signatories for the Institutional Trustee Account.

 

SECTION 11.4     Withholding.  The Trust and the Administrative Trustees
shall comply with all withholding requirements under United States federal,
state and local law.  The Trust shall
request, and the Holders shall provide to the Trust, such forms or certificates
as are necessary to establish an exemption from withholding with respect to
each Holder, and any representations and forms as shall reasonably be requested
by the Trust to assist it in determining the extent of, and in fulfilling, its
withholding obligations.  The
Administrative Trustees shall file required forms with applicable jurisdictions
and, unless an exemption from withholding is properly established by a Holder,
shall remit amounts withheld with respect to the Holder to applicable
jurisdictions.  To the extent that the
Trust is required to withhold and pay over any amounts to any authority with
respect to distributions or allocations to any Holder, the amount withheld
shall be deemed to be a distribution in the amount of the withholding to the
Holder.  In the event of any claimed
overwithholding, Holders shall be limited to an action against the applicable
jurisdiction.  If the amount required to
be withheld was not withheld from actual Distributions made to a specific Holder,
the Trust may reduce subsequent Distributions by the amount of such withholding
to such Holder.

 

ARTICLE XII.

provisions of this Declaration of Trust to such extent as shall be necessary to
ensure that the Trust will be classified for United States federal income tax
purposes as a domestic grantor trust at all times that any Securities are

“investment company” under the Investment Company Act or to ensure the
treatment of the Trust Preferred Securities as Tier 1 regulatory capital of the
Sponsor under prevailing Federal Reserve Board rules and regulations;

 

(iii)       add to the covenants, restrictions or
obligations of the Sponsor;

 

(iv)       maintain the qualification of this

applicable law.

 

SECTION 12.2     Meetings of the Holders of Securities;
Action by Written Consent.

 

(a)        Meetings of the Holders of any class of Securities may be
called at any time by the Administrative Trustees (or as provided in the terms
of the Securities) to consider and act on any matter on which Holders of such
class of Securities are entitled to act under the terms of this Declaration of
Trust, the terms of the Securities or, if applicable, the rules of any
stock exchange on which the Trust Preferred Securities are listed or admitted
for trading.  The Administrative Trustees
shall call a meeting of the Holders of such class if directed to do so by the
Holders of Securities representing at least 10% in liquidation amount of such
class of Securities.  Such direction
shall be given by delivering to the Administrative Trustees one or more
consents in a writing stating that the signing Holders of Securities wish to
call a meeting and indicating the general or specific purpose for which the
meeting is to be called.  Any Holders of
Securities calling a meeting shall specify in writing the Security Certificates
held by the Holders of Securities exercising the right to call a meeting and
only those Securities specified shall be counted for purposes of determining
whether the required percentage set forth in the second sentence of this
paragraph has been met.

 

(b)        Except to the extent otherwise provided in the terms of the
Securities, the following provisions shall apply to meetings of Holders of
Securities:

 

(i)         notice of any such meeting shall be
given to all the Holders of Securities having a right to vote thereat at least
7 days and not more than 60 days before the date of such meeting.  Whenever a vote, consent or approval of the
Holders of Securities is permitted or required under this Declaration of Trust
or the rules of any stock exchange on which the Trust Preferred Securities
are listed or admitted for trading, if any, such vote, consent or approval may
be given at a meeting of the Holders of Securities.  Any action that may be taken at a meeting of
the Holders of Securities may be taken without a meeting and without prior
notice if a consent in writing setting forth the action so taken is signed by
the Holders of Securities owning not less than the minimum amount of Securities
in liquidation amount that would be necessary to authorize or take such action 

 

-45-

 

at a meeting at which all Holders
of Securities having a right to vote thereon were present and voting.  Prompt notice of the taking of action without
a meeting shall be given to the Holders of Securities entitled to vote who have
not consented in writing.  The
Administrative Trustees may specify that any written ballot submitted to the
Security Holder for the purpose of taking any action without a meeting shall be
returned to the Trust within the time specified by the Administrative Trustees;

 

(ii)        each Holder of a Security may authorize
any Person to act for it by proxy on all matters in which a Holder of
Securities is entitled to participate, including waiving notice of any meeting,
or voting or participating at a meeting. 
No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of 11 months from the date
thereof unless otherwise provided in the proxy. 
Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the Holder of
Securities executing it.  Except as
otherwise provided herein, all matters relating to the giving, voting or
validity of proxies shall be governed by the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware relating to proxies, and judicial interpretations thereunder,
as if the Trust were a Delaware corporation and the Holders of the Securities
were stockholders of a Delaware corporation;

 

(iii)       each meeting of the Holders of the
Securities shall be conducted by the Administrative Trustees or by such other
Person that the Administrative Trustees may designate; and

 

(iv)       unless the Statutory Trust Act, this
Declaration of Trust, the terms of the Securities, the Trust Indenture Act or
the listing rules of any stock exchange on which the Trust Preferred
Securities are then listed or trading, if any, otherwise provides, the
Administrative Trustees, in their sole discretion, shall establish all other
provisions relating to meetings of Holders of Securities, including notice of
the time, place or purpose of any meeting at which any matter is to be voted on
by any Holders of Securities, waiver of any such notice, action by consent
without a meeting, the establishment of a record date, quorum requirements,
voting in person or by proxy or any other matter with respect to the exercise
of any such right to vote.

 

(c)        To the fullest extent permitted by the Statutory Trust Act, voting
and consensual rights with respect to the Trust available to or in favor of
holders or owners of Trust Preferred Securities and Trust Common Securities may
be exercised only by a United States person that is a beneficial owner of a
Trust Preferred Security or by a United States person acting as irrevocable
agent with discretionary powers for the beneficial owner of a Trust Security
that is not a United States person.  To
the fullest extent permitted by the Statutory Trust Act, Holders of Trust
Preferred Securities and Trust Common Securities that are not United States
Persons must irrevocably appoint a United States Person with discretionary powers
to act as their agent with respect to such voting and consensual rights.  For this purpose, a United States Person is
any person treated as a United States person as defined in section 7701(a)(30)
of the Code.

ANNEX I

 

TERMS OF

[·]%
CUMULATIVE TRUST PREFERRED SECURITIES

COMMON SECURITIES

 

Pursuant to Section 7.1
of the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust, dated as of [·], 2009 (as amended from time to time, the “Declaration
of Trust”), the designation, rights, privileges, restrictions, preferences
and other terms and provisions of the Trust Preferred Securities and the Common
Securities are set out below (each capitalized term used but not defined herein
has the meaning set forth in the Declaration of Trust or, if not defined in
such Declaration of Trust, as defined in the Prospectus referred to below):

 

1.  Designation and Number.

 

(a)  Trust Preferred
Securities.  [·] Trust Preferred Securities of the Trust
with an aggregate liquidation amount with respect to the assets of the Trust of
[·] dollars ($[·]), and a liquidation amount with respect to
the assets of the Trust of $1,000.00 per trust preferred security, are hereby
designated for the purposes of identification only as “ [·]% Cumulative Trust Preferred Securities”
(the “Trust Preferred Securities”). 
The Trust Preferred Security Certificates evidencing the Trust Preferred
Securities shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 to the
Declaration of Trust, with such changes and additions thereto or deletions
therefrom as may be required by ordinary usage, custom or practice or to
conform to the rules of any stock exchange on which the Trust Preferred
Securities are listed, if any.

 

(b)  Common
Securities.  10 Common Securities of
the Trust with an aggregate liquidation amount with respect to the assets of
the Trust of ten thousand dollars ($10,000), and a liquidation amount with
respect to the assets of the Trust of $1,000.00 per common security, are hereby
designated for the purposes of identification only as “Common Securities” (the “Common
Securities”).  The Common Security
Certificates evidencing the Common Securities shall be substantially in the
form of Exhibit A-2 to the Declaration of Trust, with such changes and
additions thereto or deletions therefrom as may be required by ordinary usage,
custom or practice.

 

2.  Distributions.

 

(a)  Distributions
payable on each Security will be fixed at a rate per annum of [·]% (the “Coupon Rate”) of the stated
liquidation amount of $1,000.00 per Security, such rate being the rate of
interest payable on the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities to be held by the
Institutional Trustee.  Distributions in
arrears beyond the first date such Distributions are payable (or would be
payable, if not for any Extended Interest Payment Period (as defined below) or
default by the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Issuer on the Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities) will bear interest thereon compounded
semi-annually at the Coupon Rate (to the extent permitted by applicable
law).  The term “Distributions” as used
herein includes such cash distributions and any such interest payable unless
otherwise stated.  A Distribution is
payable only to the extent that payments are made in respect of the Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities held by the Institutional Trustee and to the
extent the Institutional Trustee has funds available therefor.  The 

 

I-1

 

amount of Distributions
payable for any period will be computed for any full semi-annual Distribution
period on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, and for any
period shorter than a full semi-annual Distribution period for which Distributions
are computed, Distributions will be computed on the basis of a 30-day month
and, for periods less than a month, the actual number of days elapsed per
30-day month.

 

(b)  Distributions on
the Securities will be cumulative, will accrue from and including [·], 2009, and will be payable semi-annually in
arrears, on [·]
and [·] of
each year, commencing on [·],
2010.  When, as and if available for
payment, Distributions will be made by the Paying Agent, except as otherwise
described below.  The Junior Subordinated
Debt Securities Issuer has the right under the Indenture to defer payments of
interest on the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities from time to time for a
period not exceeding 10 consecutive semi-annual periods (each an “Extended
Interest Payment Period”), during which Extended Interest Payment Period no
interest shall be due and payable on the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities,
provided, that no Extended Interest Payment Period may extend beyond the date
of maturity of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities.  As a consequence of the Junior Subordinated
Debt Securities Issuer’s election to defer payment of interest on the Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities, semi-annual Distributions will also be
deferred.  Despite such deferral,
semi-annual Distributions will continue to accrue with interest thereon (to the
extent permitted by applicable law) at the Coupon Rate compounded semi-annually
during any such Extended Interest Payment Period.  In the event that the Junior Subordinated
Debt Securities Issuer exercises its right to defer payment of interest on the
Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, then the Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities Issuer and its Subsidiaries shall not (a) declare or pay any
dividend on, make any distributions with respect to, or redeem, purchase,
acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of its capital stock
or the capital stock of its Subsidiaries, (b) make any payment of interest
on or principal of (or premium, if any, on), or repay, repurchase or redeem,
any debt securities issued by the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Issuer
(including other junior subordinated debt securities or other junior
subordinated debt) that rank pari passu with or junior in interest to the
Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, or (c) make any guarantee payments on
any guarantee by the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Issuer of the debt
securities of any of its Subsidiaries (including under other guarantees of
junior subordinated debt securities or other junior subordinated debt) if such
guarantee ranks pari passu with or junior in interest to the Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities (other than (i) dividends or distributions in
capital stock of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Issuer, (ii) payments
under the guarantee with respect to the Trust Preferred Securities and the
Common Securities, (iii) any declaration or payment of a dividend in
connection with the implementation of a shareholders’ rights plan, or the
issuance of stock under any such plan or the redemption or repurchase of any
such rights pursuant thereto, (iv) repurchases, redemptions or other
acquisitions of shares of capital stock of the Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities Issuer in connection with any employment contract, benefit plan or
other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of employees, officers,
directors or consultants, and (v) solely in the case of a Subsidiary of
the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Issuer, any declaration or payment of
dividends or distributions on the capital stock of such Subsidiary to the
Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Issuer or one of its Affiliates).  Prior to the termination of any such Extended
Interest Payment Period, the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Issuer may
further extend such Extended Interest Payment Period; provided, that such
Extended Interest 

 

I-2

 

Payment Period, together
with all such previous and further extensions thereof, may not exceed 10
consecutive semi-annual periods; provided further, that no Extended Interest
Payment Period may extend beyond the maturity of the Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities.  Payments of deferred
Distributions and accrued interest thereon will be payable to Holders as they
appear on the books and records of the Trust on the first record date after the
end of the Extended Interest Payment Period. 
Upon the termination of any Extended Interest Payment Period and the
payment of all amounts then due, the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Issuer
may commence a new Extended Interest Payment Period, subject to the above
requirements.  The Administrative
Trustees or, if the Institutional Trustee is the sole holder of the Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities, the Institutional Trustee, will give notice to
each Holder of any Extended Interest Payment Period within five days of their
receipt of notice thereof from the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Issuer.

 

(c)  Distributions on
the Securities will be payable to the Holders thereof as they appear on the
books and records of the Trust at the close of business on the relevant record
dates.  While the Trust Preferred
Securities remain in book-entry only form, the relevant record dates shall be
one Business Day prior to the relevant payment dates which payment dates shall
correspond to the interest payment dates on the Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities.  Subject to any applicable
laws and regulations and the provisions of the Declaration of Trust, each such
payment in respect of the Trust Preferred Securities will be made as described
under the heading “Summary of Terms of Trust Preferred Securities—Distributions”
in the Prospectus dated [·] (the “Prospectus”), of the Trust
included in the Registration Statement on Form S-3 of the Sponsor and the
Trust.  The relevant record dates for the
Common Securities shall be the same record date as for the Trust Preferred
Securities.  If the Trust Preferred
Securities shall not continue to remain in book-entry only form, the relevant
record dates for the Trust Preferred Securities shall be the first days of the
months in which the relevant payment dates occur, which payment dates shall
correspond to the interest payment dates on the Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities.  Distributions payable on any
Securities that are not punctually paid on any Distribution payment date, as a
result of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Issuer having failed to make
a payment under the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, will cease to be
payable to the Person in whose name such Securities are registered on the
relevant record date, and such defaulted Distribution will instead be payable
to the Person in whose name such Securities are registered on the special
record date or other specified date determined in accordance with the
Indenture.  If any date on which Distributions
are payable on the Securities is not a Business Day, then payment of the
Distribution 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 and no interest or other payment will accrue as a result of such
delay).

 

(d)  In the event that
there is any money or other property held by or for the Trust that is not
accounted for hereunder, such property shall be distributed Pro Rata (as
defined herein) among the Holders of the Securities.

 

3.  Liquidation Distribution Upon Dissolution.

 

(a)  In the event of
any voluntary or involuntary dissolution of the Trust, the Holders of the
Securities on the date of the dissolution will be entitled to receive out of
the assets of the Trust available for distribution to Holders of Securities
after satisfaction of liabilities of claims and obligations of the Trust
pursuant to Section 3808 of the Statutory Trust Act, distributions in an amount
equal to the aggregate of the stated liquidation amount of $1,000.00 per
Security plus accrued and unpaid Distributions thereon to the date of payment
(such amount

 

I-3

 

being the “Liquidation
Distribution”), unless (i) such dissolution was in accordance with Section 8.1(a)(iv) of
the Declaration of Trust, or (ii) in connection with such dissolution, as
determined by the Sponsor, Junior Subordinated Debt Securities in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the aggregate stated liquidation amount of, with an
interest rate equal to the Coupon Rate, and bearing accrued and unpaid interest
in an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Distributions on, such Securities
outstanding at such time, have been distributed on a Pro Rata basis to the
Holders of the Securities in exchange for such Securities.  Prior to any such Liquidation Distribution,
the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Issuer will obtain any required
regulatory approval.

 

(b)  If, upon any such
dissolution, the Liquidation Distribution can be paid only in part because the
Trust has insufficient assets available to pay in full the aggregate
Liquidation Distribution, then the amounts payable directly by the Trust on the
Securities shall be paid on a Pro Rata basis.

 

(c)  On and from the
date fixed by the Administrative Trustees for any distribution of the Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities upon the dissolution of the Trust:  (i) the Securities will no longer be
deemed to be outstanding, (ii) DTC or its nominee (or any successor
Clearing Agency or its nominee), as the record Holder of the Trust Preferred
Securities, will receive a registered global certificate or certificates
representing the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities to be delivered upon such
distribution and (iii) any certificates representing Securities, except
for certificates representing Trust Preferred Securities held by DTC or its
nominee (or any successor Clearing Agency or its nominee), will be deemed to
represent beneficial interests in the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities
having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate stated liquidation
amount of, with an interest rate identical to the Coupon Rate of, and accrued
and unpaid interest equal to accrued and unpaid Distributions on such Securities
until such certificates are presented to the Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities Issuer or its agent for transfer or reissue.

 

(d)  If the Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities are distributed to the Holders of the Securities,
pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities
Issuer will use its best efforts to cause the Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities to be listed on any stock exchange on which the Trust Preferred
Securities were listed immediately prior to the distribution of the Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities.

 

4.  Redemption and Distribution.

 

(a)  Upon the repayment
of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, whether at maturity or upon
redemption (either (i) in whole or in part at any time after [·], 2014 at the option of the Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities Issuer or (ii) in whole but not in part at
any time pursuant to a Tax Event or a Capital Treatment Event as described
below), the proceeds from such repayment or payment shall be simultaneously
applied to redeem Securities having an aggregate liquidation amount equal to
the aggregate principal amount of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities so
repaid or redeemed at a redemption price of, (x) in the case of a
redemption pursuant to clause (i), the price calculated as described in Section 4(c) (the
“Make-Whole Redemption Price”); and (y) in the case of redemption
pursuant to clause (ii), the principal amount of the Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities so repaid or redeemed plus an amount equal

 

I-4

 

to accrued and unpaid
Distributions to the date of the redemption, in each case payable in cash (the “Mandatory
Redemption Price” and, together with the Make-Whole Redemption Price, the “Redemption
Prices” and each a “Redemption Price”).  Holders shall be given not less than 30 or
more than 60 days’ notice of such redemption. 
Prior to any such redemption, the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities
Issuer will obtain any required regulatory approval.

 

(b)  If fewer than all
the outstanding Securities are to be so redeemed, the Securities will be
redeemed Pro Rata and the Trust Preferred Securities to be redeemed will be as
described in Section 4(f)(ii) below.

 

(c)  Subject to
obtaining any required regulatory approval, the Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities Issuer shall have the right after [·], 2014 to redeem the Junior Subordinated
Debt Securities, in whole or in part, for cash in the amount equal to the
greater of (x) 100% of the principal amount of the Junior Subordinated
Debt Securities so repaid or redeemed and (y) the present value of scheduled
payments of principal and interest from the date of redemption to [·], 2040, on the Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities so repaid or redeemed, discounted to the redemption date on a
semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30day months)
at a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus a spread of [·]%, in each case, plus accrued and unpaid
interest to the redemption date.

 

For purposes of the above:

 

“Treasury Rate” means the
semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Treasury Security that
corresponds to the Treasury Price (calculated in accordance with standard
market practice and computed as of the second trading day preceding the date of
the redemption);

 

“Treasury Security” means
the United States Treasury security that the Treasury Dealer determines would
be appropriate to use, at the time of determination and in accordance with
standard market practice, in pricing the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities
being redeemed in a tender offer based on a spread to United States Treasury
yields;

 

“Treasury Price” means the
bid-side price for the Treasury Security as of the third trading day preceding
the redemption date, as set forth in the daily statistical release (or any
successor release) published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on that
trading day and designated “Composite 3:30 p.m.  Quotations for U.S. Government Securities,”
except that:  (1) if that release
(or any successor release) is not published or does not contain that price
information on that trading day; or (2) if the Treasury Dealer determines
that the price information is not reasonably reflective of the actual bid-side
price of the Treasury Security prevailing at 3:30 p.m., New York City
time, on that trading day, then the Treasury Price will instead mean the
bid-side price for the Treasury Security at or around 3:30 p.m., New York
City time, on that trading day (expressed on a next trading day settlement
basis) as determined by the Treasury Dealer through such alternative means as
the Treasury Dealer considers to be appropriate under the circumstances; and

 

“Treasury Dealer” means J.P.
Morgan Securities Inc. (or its successor) or, if J.P. Morgan Securities Inc.
(or its successor) refuses to act as Treasury Dealer for this purpose or ceases
to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer, another nationally
recognized investment banking

 

I-5

 

firm that is a primary U.S.
Government securities dealer specified by the Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities Issuer for these purposes.

 

(d)  Subject to
obtaining any required regulatory approval, the Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities Issuer shall have the right to redeem the Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities, in whole or in part, for cash if, at any time, a Tax Event or a
Capital Treatment Event (each as defined below) shall occur and be continuing,
upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, within 90 days following
the occurrence of such Tax Event or Capital Treatment Event, and, following
such redemption, Securities with an aggregate liquidation amount equal to the
aggregate principal amount of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities so
redeemed shall be redeemed by the Trust at the Mandatory Redemption Price on a
Pro Rata basis; provided, however, that if at the time there is available to
the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Issuer or the Trust the opportunity to
eliminate, within such 90-day period, the Tax Event or Capital Treatment Event
by taking some ministerial action, such as filing a form or making an election
or pursuing some other similar reasonable measure that will have no adverse
effect on the Trust, the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Issuer or the
Holders of the Securities, then the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Issuer or
the Trust will pursue such measure in lieu of redemption.

 

“Tax Event” means the
receipt by the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Issuer or the Trust of an
opinion of counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that, as a result
of any amendment to or change (including any prospective proposed change
announced after the original issuance of the Trust Preferred Securities) in the
laws or any regulations thereunder of the United States or any political
subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, or any official
administrative decision or judicial decision or administrative action or other
official pronouncement interpreting or applying the laws enumerated in the
preceding clause, there is more than an insubstantial risk that:  (i) the Trust is, or will be within 90
days of the date of such opinion, subject to United States federal income tax
with respect to income received or accrued on the Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities; (ii) interest payable by the Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities Issuer on the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities is not, or within
90 days of the date of such opinion, will not be, deductible by the Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities Issuer, in whole or in part, for United States
federal income tax purposes; or (iii) the Trust is, or will be within 90
days of the date of such opinion, subject to more than a de minimis amount of
other taxes (including withholding taxes), duties, assessments or other
governmental charges.

 

“Capital Treatment Event”
means the reasonable determination by the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities
Issuer that, as a result of any amendment to, or change (including any
prospective proposed change announced after the original issuance of the Trust
Preferred Securities) in, the laws, rules or regulations of the United
States or any political subdivision thereof or therein, or as the result of any
official administrative decision or judicial decision or administrative action
or other official pronouncement interpreting or applying such laws, rules or
regulations, which amendment or change is enacted or becomes effective or which
decision, action or pronouncement is announced after the date of original
issuance of the Trust Preferred Securities, there is more than an insubstantial
risk of impairment of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Issuer’s ability
to treat the Trust Preferred Securities as “Tier 1 Capital” (or the then
equivalent thereof) for purposes of the capital adequacy guidelines of the
Federal Reserve Board (or any successor regulatory authority with jurisdiction
over bank holding companies), as then in effect and applicable to the Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities Issuer; provided, however, that

 

I-6

 

the distribution of the
Junior Subordinated Debt Securities in connection with the Liquidation of the
Trust by the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Issuer shall not in and of
itself constitute a Capital Treatment Event unless such Liquidation shall have
occurred in connection with a Tax Event.

 

(e)  The Trust may not
redeem fewer than all the outstanding Securities unless all accrued and unpaid
Distributions have been paid on all Securities for all semi-annual Distribution
periods terminating on or before the date of redemption.

 

(f)  Redemption or
Distribution procedures will be as follows:

 

(i)  Notice of any
redemption of, or notice of distribution of Junior Subordinated Debt Securities
in exchange for the Securities (a “Redemption/Distribution Notice”) will
be given by the Trust by mail to each Holder of the Securities to be redeemed
or exchanged not fewer than 30 nor more than 60 days before the date fixed for
redemption or exchange thereof which, in the case of a redemption, will be the
date fixed for redemption of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities.  For purposes of the calculation of the date
of redemption or exchange and the dates on which notices are given pursuant to
this Section 4(f)(i), a Redemption/Distribution Notice shall be deemed to
be given on the day such notice is first mailed by first-class mail, postage
prepaid, to the Holders of the Securities. 
Each Redemption/Distribution Notice shall be addressed to the Holders of
the Securities at the address of each such Holder appearing in the books and
records of the Trust.  No defect in the
Redemption/Distribution Notice or in the mailing of either thereof with respect
to any Holder shall affect the validity of the redemption or exchange
proceedings with respect to any other Holder.

 

(ii)  In the event that
fewer than all the outstanding Securities are to be redeemed, the Trust
Preferred Securities to be redeemed shall be redeemed Pro Rata from each Holder
of Trust Preferred Securities, it being understood that, in respect of Trust
Preferred Securities registered in the name of and held of record by DTC or its
nominee (or any successor Clearing Agency or its nominee), the distribution of
the proceeds of such redemption will be made to each Clearing Agency
Participant (or Person on whose behalf such nominee holds such securities) in
accordance with the procedures applied by such agency or nominee.

 

(iii)  If Securities
are to be redeemed and the Trust gives a Redemption/ Distribution Notice, which
notice may only be issued if the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities are
redeemed as set out in this Section 4 (which notice will be irrevocable),
then (A) while the Trust Preferred Securities are in book-entry only form,
with respect to the Trust Preferred Securities, by 12:00 noon, New York City
time, on the redemption date, provided, that the Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities Issuer has paid to the Institutional Trustee a sufficient amount of
cash in connection with the related redemption or maturity of the Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities, the Institutional Trustee will deposit irrevocably
with DTC or its nominee (or successor Clearing Agency or its nominee) funds
sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price with respect to the Trust
Preferred Securities and will give DTC (or any successor Clearing Agency)
irrevocable instructions and authority to pay such Redemption Price to the
Holders of the

 

I-7

 

Trust Preferred Securities,
and (B) with respect to Trust Preferred Securities issued in definitive
form and Common Securities, provided, that the Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities Issuer has paid the Institutional Trustee a sufficient amount of
cash in connection with the related redemption or maturity of the Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities, the Paying Agent will pay the applicable
Redemption Price to the Holders of such Securities, upon surrender thereof, by
check mailed to the address of the relevant Holder appearing on the books and
records of the Trust on the redemption date. 
If a Redemption/Distribution Notice shall have been given and funds
deposited as required, if applicable, then immediately prior to the close of
business on the date of such deposit, distributions will cease to accrue on the
Securities so called for redemption and all rights of the Holders of such Securities
so called for redemption will cease, except the right of the Holders of such
Securities to receive the applicable Redemption Price, but without interest on
such Redemption Price.  Neither the
Administrative Trustees nor the Trust shall be required to register or cause to
be registered the transfer of any Securities that have been so called for
redemption.  The record date for any
payment under this Section 4 shall be determined as set forth in Section 2(c).  If any date fixed for redemption of Securities
is not a Business Day, then payment of the applicable 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 and no
interest or other payment will accrue as a result of the delay).  If payment of the applicable Redemption Price
in respect of any Securities is improperly withheld or refused and not paid by
the Paying Agent or by the Sponsor as guarantor pursuant to the Trust Preferred
Securities Guarantee, Distributions on such Securities will continue to accrue
from the original redemption date to the actual date of payment, in which case
the actual payment date will be considered the date fixed for redemption for
purposes of calculating such Redemption Price.

 

(iv) 
Redemption/Distribution Notices shall be sent by the Administrative Trustees on
behalf of the Trust to (A) in respect of the Trust Preferred Securities,
DTC or its nominee (or any successor Clearing Agency or its nominee) if the
Global Certificates have been issued or, if Definitive Trust Preferred Security
Certificates have been issued, to the Holder thereof and (B) in respect of
the Common Securities to the Holder thereof.

 

(v)  Subject to
applicable law (including, without limitation, United States federal securities
laws), the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Issuer or its affiliates may at
any time and from time to time purchase outstanding Trust Preferred Securities
by tender, in the open market or by private agreement and no such action shall
be deemed a redemption for purposes of the Declaration of Trust or the terms of
the Trust Preferred Securities.

 

5.  Voting Rights - Trust Preferred Securities.

 

(a)  Except as provided
under Sections 5(b) and 7 and as otherwise required by law and the
Declaration of Trust, the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities will have
no voting rights.

 

(b)  Subject to the
requirements set forth in this paragraph, the Holders of a Majority in
liquidation amount of the Trust Preferred Securities, voting separately as a
class, may direct the

 

I-8

 

time, method, and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Institutional
Trustee, or direct the exercise of any trust or power conferred upon the
Institutional Trustee under the Declaration of Trust, including the right to
direct the Institutional Trustee, as holder of the Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities, to (i) direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee, or exercise any
trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities, (ii) waive any past Indenture Event of
Default that is waivable under Section 5.6 of the Indenture, (iii) exercise
any right to rescind or annul a declaration that the principal of all the
Junior Subordinated Debt Securities shall be due and payable or (iv) consent
to any amendment, modification or termination of the Indenture or the Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities where such consent shall be required; provided,
however, that, where a consent or action under the Indenture would require the
consent or act of each holder of each Junior Subordinated Debt Security
affected thereby, such consent or action under the Indenture shall not be
effective until each Holder of Trust Preferred Securities shall have consented
to such action or provided such consent. 
The Institutional Trustee shall not revoke any action previously
authorized or approved by a vote of the Holders of the Trust Preferred
Securities.  Except with respect to
directing the time, method and place of conducting a proceeding for a remedy
available to the Institutional Trustee, the Institutional Trustee, as holder of
the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, shall not take any of the actions
described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above unless the
Institutional Trustee has obtained an opinion of a nationally recognized
independent tax counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that as a
result of such action, the Trust will not fail to be classified as a domestic grantor
trust for United States federal income tax purposes.  If the Institutional Trustee fails to enforce
its rights under the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, any Holder of Trust Preferred Securities may directly
institute a legal proceeding against the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities
Issuer to enforce the Institutional Trustee’s rights under the Junior Subordinated
Debt Securities without first instituting a legal proceeding against the
Institutional Trustee or any other Person or entity.  If a Declaration Default has occurred and is
continuing and such event is attributable to the failure of the Junior Subordinated
Debt Securities Issuer to pay interest or principal on the Junior Subordinated
Debt Securities on the date such interest or principal is otherwise payable (or
in the case of redemption, on the redemption date), then a holder of Trust
Preferred Securities may also directly institute a proceeding for enforcement
of payment to such holder (a “Direct Action”) of the principal of or
interest on the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities having a principal amount
equal to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Trust Preferred Securities of
such holder on or after the respective due date specified in the Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities without first (i) directing the Institutional
Trustee to enforce the terms of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities or (ii) instituting
a legal proceeding directly against the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities
Issuer to enforce the Institutional Trustee’s rights under the Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities.  Except as
provided in the preceding sentence, the Holders of Trust Preferred Securities
will not be able to exercise directly any other remedy available to the holders
of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities. 
In connection with such Direct Action, the Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities Issuer will be subrogated to the rights of such Holder of Trust
Preferred Securities under the Declaration of Trust to the extent of any
payment made by the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities Issuer to such holder
of Trust Preferred Securities in such Direct Action.

 

Any required approval
or direction of Holders of Trust Preferred Securities may be given at a separate
meeting of Holders of Trust Preferred Securities convened for such purpose, at
a

 

I-9

 

meeting of all of the
Holders of Securities or pursuant to written consent.  The Administrative Trustees will cause a
notice of any meeting at which Holders of Trust Preferred Securities are
entitled to vote to be mailed to each Holder of record of Trust Preferred
Securities.  Each such notice will
include a statement setting forth (i) the date and time of such meeting, (ii) a
description of any resolution proposed for adoption at such meeting on which
such Holders are entitled to vote and (iii) instructions for the delivery
of proxies.

 

No vote or consent of the
Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities will be required for the Trust to
redeem and cancel Trust Preferred Securities or to distribute the Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities in accordance with this Declaration of Trust and the
terms of the Securities.

 

Notwithstanding that Holders
of Trust Preferred Securities are entitled to vote or consent under any of the
circumstances described above, any of the Trust Preferred Securities that are
owned by the Sponsor or any Affiliate of the Sponsor shall not be entitled to
vote or consent and shall, for purposes of such vote or consent, be treated as
if they were not outstanding.

 

6.  Voting Rights - Common Securities.

 

(a)  Except as provided
under Sections 6(b), (c) and 7 as otherwise required by law and the
Declaration of Trust, the Holders of the Common Securities will have no voting
rights.

 

(b)  The Holders of the
Common Securities are entitled, in accordance with and subject to Article V
of the Declaration of Trust, to vote to appoint, remove or replace any Trustee
or to increase or decrease the number of Trustees.

 

(c)  Subject to Section 2.6
of the Declaration of Trust and only after the Declaration Default with respect
to the Trust Preferred Securities has been cured, waived, or otherwise
eliminated and subject to the requirements of the second to last sentence of
this paragraph, the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Common
Securities, voting separately as a class, may direct the time, method, and
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Institutional Trustee, or direct the exercise of any trust or power conferred
upon the Institutional Trustee under the Declaration of Trust, including (i) directing
the time, method, place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available
to the Indenture Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the
Indenture Trustee with respect to the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, (ii) waiving
any past Indenture Event of Default that is waivable under Section 5.6 of
the Indenture, or (iii) exercising any right to rescind or annul a
declaration that the principal of all the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities
shall be due and payable, provided that, where a consent or action under the
Indenture would require the consent or act of the Holders of greater than a
majority in principal amount of Junior Subordinated Debt Securities affected
thereby (a “Super Majority”), the Institutional Trustee may only give
such consent or take such action at the written direction of the Holders of at
least the proportion in liquidation amount of the Common Securities which the
relevant Super Majority represents of the aggregate principal amount of the
Junior Subordinated Debt Securities outstanding.  Pursuant to this Section 6(c), the
Institutional Trustee shall not revoke any action previously authorized or
approved by a vote of the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities.  Except with respect to directing the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Institutional Trustee or the Junior Subordinate Debt Securities Issuer as set
forth above, the

 

I-10

 

Institutional Trustee shall
not take any action in accordance with the directions of the Holders of the
Common Securities under this paragraph unless the Institutional Trustee has
obtained an opinion of tax counsel to the effect that as a result of such
action, the Trust will not fail to be classified as a domestic grantor trust
for United States federal income tax purposes. 
If the Institutional Trustee fails to enforce its rights under the
Declaration of Trust, any Holder of Common Securities may institute a legal
proceeding directly against any Person to enforce the Institutional Trustee’s
rights under the Declaration of Trust, without first instituting a legal
proceeding against the Institutional Trustee or any other Person.

 

Any approval or direction of
Holders of Common Securities may be given at a separate meeting of Holders of
Common Securities convened for such purpose, at a meeting of all of the Holders
of Securities or pursuant to written consent. 
The Administrative Trustees will cause a notice of any meeting at which
Holders of Common Securities are entitled to vote to be mailed to each Holder
of record of Common Securities.  Each
such notice will include a statement setting forth (i) the date and time
of such meeting, (ii) a description of any resolution proposed for
adoption at such meeting on which such Holders are entitled to vote and (iii) instructions
for the delivery of proxies.

 

No vote or consent of the
Holders of the Common Securities will be required for the Trust to redeem and
cancel Common Securities or to distribute the Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities in accordance with the Declaration of Trust and the terms of the
Securities.

 

Voting and consensual rights
with respect to the Trust available to or in favor of holders or owners of
Trust Preferred Securities and Trust Common Securities may be exercised only by
a United States person that is a beneficial owner of a Trust Preferred Security
or by a United States person acting as irrevocable agent with discretionary
powers for the beneficial owner of a Trust Security that is not a United States
person.  Holders of Trust Preferred
Securities and Trust Common Securities that are not United States Persons must
irrevocably appoint a United States Person with discretionary powers to act as
their agent with respect to such voting and consensual rights. For this
purpose, a United States Person is any person treated as a United States person
as defined in section 7701(a)(30) of the Code.

 

7.  Amendments to Declaration of Trust and
Indenture.

 

(a)  In
addition to any requirements under Section 12.1 of the Declaration of
Trust, if any proposed amendment to the Declaration of Trust provides for, or
the Administrative Trustees otherwise propose to effect, (i) any action
that would materially and adversely affect the powers, preferences or special
rights of the Securities, whether by way of amendment to the Declaration of
Trust or otherwise, or (ii) the dissolution, winding-up or termination of
the Trust, other than as described in Section 8.1 of the Declaration of
Trust, then the Holders of outstanding Securities voting together as a single
class, will be entitled to vote on such amendment or proposal (but not on any
other 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 Securities, voting together as a single class; provided, however,
if any amendment or proposal referred to in clause (i) above would
materially and adversely affect only the Trust Preferred Securities or only the
Common Securities, then only the Holders of the affected class will be entitled
to vote on such amendment or proposal and such amendment or proposal shall not
be

 

I-11

 

effective except with the
approval of Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of such class of
Securities.

 

(b)  In the event the
consent of the Institutional Trustee as the holder of the Junior Subordinated
Debt Securities is required under the Indenture with respect to any amendment,
modification or termination on the Indenture or the Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities, the Institutional Trustee shall request the written direction of
the Holders of the Securities with respect to such amendment, modification or
termination and shall vote with respect to such amendment, modification or
termination as directed by a Majority in liquidation amount of the Securities
voting together as a single class; provided, however, that where a consent
under the Indenture would require the consent of a Super Majority, the
Institutional Trustee may only give such consent at the direction of the
Holders of at least the proportion in liquidation amount of the Securities
which the relevant Super Majority represents of the aggregate principal amount
of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities outstanding; provided, further, that
the Institutional Trustee shall not take any action in accordance with the
directions of the Holders of the Securities under this Section 7(b) unless
the Institutional Trustee has obtained an opinion of tax counsel to the effect that
for the purposes of United States federal income tax the Trust will not be
classified as other than a domestic grantor trust on account of such action.

 

(c)  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no amendment or modification may be made to the Declaration of
Trust if such amendment or modification would (i) cause the Trust to be
classified for purposes of United States federal income taxation as other than
a domestic grantor trust, (ii) reduce or otherwise adversely affect the
powers of the Institutional Trustee in contravention of the Trust Indenture Act
or (iii) cause the Trust to be deemed an “investment company” which is
required to be registered under the Investment Company Act.

 

8.  Pro Rata.

 

A reference in these terms
of the Securities to any payment, distribution or treatment as being “Pro Rata”
shall mean pro rata to each Holder of Securities according to the aggregate
liquidation amount of the Securities held by the relevant Holder in relation to
the aggregate liquidation amount of all Securities outstanding unless, in
relation to a payment, a Declaration Default has occurred and is continuing, in
which case any funds available to make such payment shall be paid first to each
Holder of the Trust Preferred Securities pro rata according to the aggregate
liquidation amount of Trust Preferred Securities held by the relevant Holder
relative to the aggregate liquidation amount of all Trust Preferred Securities
outstanding, and only after satisfaction of all amounts owed to the Holders of
the Trust Preferred Securities, to each Holder of Common Securities pro rata
according to the aggregate liquidation amount of Common Securities held by the
relevant Holder relative to the aggregate liquidation amount of all Common
Securities outstanding.

 

9.  Ranking.

 

The Trust Preferred
Securities rank pari passu and payment thereon shall be made Pro Rata with the
Common Securities except that, where an Indenture Event of Default occurs and
is continuing under the Indenture in respect of the Junior Subordinated Debt
Securities held by the Institutional Trustee, the rights of Holders of the
Common Securities to payment in respect of

 

I-12

 

Distributions and payments
upon liquidation, redemption and otherwise are subordinated to the rights to
payment of the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities.

 

10.  Acceptance of Trust Preferred Securities
Guarantee and Indenture.

 

Each Holder of Trust
Preferred Securities and Common Securities, by the acceptance thereof, agrees
to the provisions of the Trust Preferred Securities Guarantee, including the
subordination provisions therein and to the provisions of the Indenture.

 

11.  No Preemptive Rights.

 

The Holders of the
Securities shall have no preemptive or similar rights to subscribe for any
additional securities.

 

12.  Miscellaneous.

 

These terms constitute a
part of the Declaration of Trust.

 

The Sponsor will provide a
copy of the Declaration of Trust or the Trust Preferred Securities Guarantee,
and the Indenture to a Holder without charge on written request to the Sponsor
at its principal place of business.

Upon

The
Holder of this certificate, by accepting this certificate, is deemed to have

GUARANTEE TRUSTEE.

 

(a)                                  This Guarantee shall be held by the Guarantee Trustee on behalf of the
Trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities, and the Guarantee
Trustee shall not transfer its right, title and interest in this Guarantee to
any Person except a Holder of Securities exercising his or her rights pursuant
to Section 5.4(b) or to a Successor Guarantee Trustee on acceptance
by such Successor Guarantee Trustee of its appointment to act as Successor Guarantee
Trustee.  The right, title and interest
of the Guarantee Trustee in and to this Guarantee shall automatically vest in
any Successor Guarantee Trustee, and such vesting and succession of title shall
be effective whether or not conveyancing documents have been executed and
delivered pursuant to the appointment of such Successor Guarantee Trustee.

 

(b)                                 If a Guarantee Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer
of the Guarantee Trustee has occurred and is continuing, the Guarantee Trustee
shall enforce this Guarantee for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities.

 

(c)                                  The Guarantee Trustee, before the occurrence of any Guarantee Event of
Default and after the curing of all Guarantee Events of Default that may have
occurred, shall undertake to perform only such duties as are specifically set
forth in this Guarantee, and no implied covenants shall be read into this
Guarantee against the Guarantee Trustee. 
In case a Guarantee Event of Default has occurred (that has not been
cured or waived pursuant to Section 2.6) and is actually known to a
Responsible Officer of the Guarantee Trustee, the Guarantee Trustee shall
exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Guarantee, and use
the same degree of care and skill in its exercise thereof, as a prudent person
would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own
affairs.

 

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

 

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

 

(A)                              the
duties and obligations of the Guarantee Trustee shall be determined solely by
the express provisions of this Guarantee, and the Guarantee Trustee shall not
be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are
specifically set forth in this Guarantee, and no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Guarantee against the Guarantee Trustee;
and

 

(B)                                in
the absence of bad faith on the part of the Guarantee Trustee, the Guarantee
Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or
opinions furnished to the Guarantee Trustee and conforming to the requirements
of this Guarantee; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions that by
any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Guarantee
Trustee, the Guarantee Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to
determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Guarantee
(but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculation
or other facts stated therein, absent manifest error);

 

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

 

(iii)                               the Guarantee Trustee shall not be liable
with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
accordance with the direction of the Holders of not less than a Majority in
Liquidation Amount of the Securities relating to the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy

available to the Guarantee Trustee, or exercising
any trust or power conferred upon the Guarantee Trustee under this Guarantee;
and

 

(iv)                              no provision of this Guarantee shall require
the Guarantee Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur
personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the
exercise of any of its rights or powers, if the Guarantee Trustee shall have
reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment of such funds or protection
from liability is not reasonably assured to it under the terms of this
Guarantee or if the Guarantee Trustee shall have reasonable grounds for
believing that an indemnity, reasonably satisfactory to the Guarantee Trustee,
against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it under the terms
of this Guarantee.

hereunder, the Guarantee Trustee (unless other evidence is herein specifically
prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, request and conclusively
rely upon an Officers’ Certificate which, upon receipt of such request, shall
be promptly delivered by the Guarantor;

see to any recording, filing or registration of any instrument (or any
re-recording, re-filing or re-registration thereof);

 

(v)                                 The Guarantee Trustee may consult with

any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in
accordance with such advice or opinion.

The Guarantee Trustee shall have the right at any time to seek
instructions concerning the administration of this Guarantee from any court of
competent jurisdiction;

 

(vi)                              The Guarantee Trustee shall be under no
obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this

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

 

(vii)                           The Guarantee Trustee shall not be bound to
make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution,

consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other
paper or document, but the Guarantee Trustee, in its discretion, may make such
reasonable further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it
may see fit at the expense of the Guarantor and shall incur no liability of any
kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation;

 

(viii)                        The Guarantee Trustee may execute any of the
trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or

its agents hereunder shall bind the Holders, and the signature of the Guarantee
Trustee or its agents alone shall be sufficient and effective to perform any
such action.  No third party shall be
required to inquire as to the authority of the Guarantee Trustee to so act or
as to its compliance with any of the terms and provisions of this Guarantee,
both of which shall be conclusively evidenced by the Guarantee Trustee’s or its
agent’s taking such action;

 

(x)                                   Whenever in the administration of this

responsible or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of
any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit)
irrespective of whether the Guarantee Trustee has been advised of the
likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action;

 

(xii)                             The rights, privileges, protections,
immunities and benefits given to the Guarantee Trustee, including, without
limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable

obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly,
forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work
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 or computer (software and hardware)
services; it being understood that the Guarantee Trustee shall use reasonable
efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to
resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

 

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

Holder of the Securities of the principal of or interest on the Junior
Subordinated Debt Securities on or after the respective due dates specified in
