 2. The Sponsor hereby assigns, transfers, conveys and sets over to the Trust the sum of $10. Such amount shall constitute the initial trust estate. It is
the intention of the parties hereto that the Trust created hereby constitute a statutory trust under Chapter 38 Title 12 of the Delaware Code, 12 Del.C. Section 3801, et, seq. (the “Statutory Trust Act”), and that this document
constitute the governing instrument of the Trust. The Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to execute and file a certificate of trust with the Delaware Secretary of State in such form as the Trustee may approve. 
 3. The Sponsor and the Trustee will enter into an amended and restated Trust Agreement or Declaration satisfactory to each such party to provide for the

applicable law or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee may take all actions deemed proper as are necessary to effect the transactions contemplated herein. 
 4. The Sponsor, as sponsor of the Trust, is hereby authorized, in its discretion, (i) to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”) one or more registration statements on Form S-3, or amendments thereto, in preliminary and final form relating to the offering and sale of Preferred
Securities of the Trust, and such other forms or filings as may be required by the 1933 Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, in each case relating to the Preferred Securities of the
Trust; (ii) to file and execute on behalf of the Trust, such applications, reports, surety bonds, irrevocable consents, appointment of attorney for service of process and other papers and documents that shall be necessary or desirable to
register or establish the exemption from registration of the Preferred Securities of the Trust under the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of such jurisdictions as the Sponsor, on behalf of the Trust, may deem necessary or desirable;
(iii) to execute and file an application, and all other applications, statements, certificates, agreements and other instruments that shall be necessary or desirable, to the Private Offerings, Resales and Trading through Automated Linkages
(“PORTAL”) Market and, if and at such time as determined by the Sponsor, to the New York Stock Exchange or any other national stock 

 
exchange or the NASDAQ National Market for listing or quotation of the Preferred Securities of the Trust; (iv) to execute and deliver letters or
documents to, or instruments for filing with, a depository relating to the Preferred Securities of the Trust; and (v) to execute, deliver and perform on behalf of the Trust one or more underwriting agreements, purchase agreements, registration

 In the event that any filing referred to in this Section 4 is required by the rules and regulations of the Commission, PORTAL, or state securities
or Blue Sky laws to be executed on behalf of the Trust by the Trustee, the Trustee in its capacity as trustee of the Trust, is hereby authorized and directed to join in any such filing and to execute on behalf of the Trust any and all of the
foregoing, it being understood that the Trustee, in its capacity as trustee of the Trust, shall not be required to join in any such filing or execute on behalf of the Trust any such documents unless required by the rules and regulations of the
Commission, PORTAL or state securities or Blue Sky laws. 
 5. The Declaration may be executed in one or more counterparts. 
 6. The number of trustees of the Trust initially shall be one (1) and thereafter the number of trustees of the Trust shall be such number as shall

either be a natural person who is a resident of the State of Delaware or, if not a natural person, an entity which has its principal place of business in the State of Delaware. Subject to the foregoing, the Sponsor is entitled to appoint or remove
without cause any trustee of the Trust at any time. Any trustee of the Trust may resign upon thirty days’ notice to the Sponsor. 
 7.
This Declaration shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware (without regard to conflict of laws principles). 
 8. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Sponsor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee from and against any loss, damage or claim incurred by the Trustee by reason of any act or omission
performed or omitted by the Trustee in good faith on behalf of the Trust and in a matter the Trustee reasonably believed to be within the scope of authority conferred on the Trustee by this Declaration, except that the Trustee shall not be entitled

 DECLARATION OF TRUST 

 (ii) In the event (and to the extent) that the Sponsor exercises its right under the
Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture to defer the payment of interest on the Debentures, Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be deferred but shall continue to accumulate. Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be payable on the
Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities at the rate per annum equal to the rate of interest on the Debentures. The amount of Distributions payable shall be computed on the basis of (i) a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months
until • and (ii) a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed thereafter. The amount of Distributions payable for any period shall include any Additional Amounts in respect of such period. 
 (iii) Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be made by the Paying Agent on behalf of the Property Trustee from the Payment Account
and shall be payable on each Distribution Date only to the extent that the Issuer Trust has funds then on hand and available in the Payment Account for the payment of such Distributions. 
 (b) Distributions on the Trust Securities with respect to a Distribution Date shall be payable to the Holders thereof as they appear on the Securities
Register for the Trust Securities at the close of business on the relevant record date, which shall be the Business Day prior to the relevant Distribution Date; provided that if the Trust Securities are not in book-entry form, the relevant record
date shall be the date 15 days prior to the relevant Distribution Date. Distributions payable on any Trust Securities that are not punctually paid on an applicable Distribution Date will cease to be payable to the Person in whose name such Trust
Securities are registered on the relevant record date, and such defaulted Distribution will instead be payable to the Person in whose name such Trust Securities are registered on the special record date or other specified date for determining
Holders entitled to such defaulted Distributions. 
 Section 4.2. Redemption. 
 (a) On each Debenture Redemption Date and on each Debenture Repayment Date, the Issuer Trust will be required to redeem a Like Amount of Trust Securities
at the Redemption Price. 
 (b) Notice of redemption shall be given by the Property Trustee by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not
less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date (or, in the case of a Debenture Repayment Date, not less than 10 nor more than 30 days prior to the Redemption Date) to each Holder of Trust Securities to be redeemed, at such
Holder’s address appearing in the Security Register. All notices of redemption shall state: 
 (i) the Redemption Date;

 (ii) the Redemption Price or if the Redemption Price cannot be calculated prior to the time the notice is required to be
sent, an estimate of the Redemption Price together with a statement that it is an estimate and that the actual Redemption Price will be calculated on the third Business Day prior to the Redemption Date (and if an estimate is provided, a further
notice shall be sent of the actual Redemption Price on the date that such Redemption Price is calculated); 
 (iii) the CUSIP
number or CUSIP numbers of the Preferred Securities affected (if applicable);

 DECLARATION OF TRUST 

 (iv) if less than all the Outstanding Trust Securities are to be redeemed, the
identification and the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the particular Trust Securities to be redeemed; 
 (v) that on the
Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Trust Security to be redeemed and that Distributions thereon will cease to accumulate on and after said date, except as provided in Section 4.2(d); and 

(vi) if the Preferred Securities Certificates are not Book-Entry Preferred Securities Certificates on the Redemption Date, the place or
places where the Preferred Securities Certificates are to be surrendered for the payment of the Redemption Price. 
 The Issuer Trust in
issuing the Trust Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Property Trustee shall indicate the “CUSIP” numbers of the Trust Securities in notices of redemption and related materials as a
convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Trust Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption and related materials.

 (c) The Trust Securities redeemed on each Redemption Date shall be redeemed at the Redemption Price. Redemptions of the Trust Securities
shall be made and the Redemption Price shall be payable on each Redemption Date only to the extent that the Issuer Trust has the Redemption Price then on hand and available for the payment of such Redemption Price, including, in the case of a cash
redemption, funds then on hand and available in the Payment Account for the payment of such Redemption Price and, in the case of a Redemption using Debentures, funds on hand and available to redeem or repay such Debentures. 
 (d) If the Property Trustee gives a notice of redemption in respect of any Preferred Securities, then, by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the
Redemption Date, subject to Section 4.2(c), the Property Trustee will, with respect to Book-Entry Preferred Securities, irrevocably deposit with the Clearing Agency for such Book-Entry Preferred Securities, to the extent available therefor, the
applicable Redemption Price and will give such Clearing Agency irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Redemption Price to the Holders of the Preferred Securities. With respect to Preferred Securities that are not Book-Entry Preferred
Securities, the Property Trustee, subject to Section 4.2(c), will irrevocably deposit with the Paying Agent, to the extent available therefor, the applicable Redemption Price and will give the Paying Agent irrevocable instructions and authority
to pay the Redemption Price to the Holders of the Preferred Securities upon surrender of their Preferred Securities Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Distributions payable on or prior to the Redemption Date for any Trust Securities called
for redemption shall be payable to the Holders of such Trust Securities as they appear on the Securities Register for the Trust Securities on the relevant record dates for the related Distribution Dates. If notice of redemption shall have been given
and the Redemption Price deposited as required, then upon the date of such deposit, all rights of Holders holding Trust Securities so called for redemption will cease, except the right of such Holders to receive the Redemption Price and any
Distribution payable in respect of the Trust Securities on or prior to the Redemption Date, but without interest, and such Trust Securities will cease to be outstanding. In the event that any date on which any Redemption Price is payable is not a
Business Day, then payment of the Redemption Price payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay), with the same force and effect as if made on
such date. In the event that payment of the Redemption Price in respect of any Trust Securities called for redemption is improperly withheld or refused and not paid either by the Issuer Trust or by the Sponsor pursuant to the Guarantee Agreement,
Distributions on such Trust 

  

 -17- 
 DECLARATION OF TRUST 

 
Securities will continue to accumulate, as set forth in Section 4.1, from the Redemption Date originally established by the Issuer Trust for such Trust
Securities to the date such Redemption Price is actually paid, in which case the actual payment date will be the date fixed for redemption for purposes of calculating the Redemption Price. 
 (e) Subject to Section 4.3(a), if less than all the Outstanding Trust Securities are to be redeemed on a Redemption Date, the Property Trustee will
select the particular Trust Securities to be redeemed on a pro rata basis not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date from the Outstanding Preferred Securities not previously called for redemption by any method the Property Trustee deems fair
and appropriate, provided that so long as the Preferred Securities are in book-entry-only form, such selection shall be made in accordance with the customary procedures for the Clearing Agency for the Preferred Securities. The Property
Trustee shall promptly notify the Securities Registrar in writing of the Preferred Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Preferred Securities selected for partial redemption, the Liquidation Amount thereof to be redeemed. For
all purposes of this Amended Declaration, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Preferred Securities shall relate, in the case of any Preferred Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the
portion of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of Preferred Securities that has been or is to be redeemed. The Property Trustee shall also have the right in such a case to distribute the Debentures intended to be redeemed to the Holders in redemption
of their Preferred Securities. 
 Section 4.3. Subordination of Common Securities. 
 (a) Payment of Distributions (including any Additional Amounts) on, the Redemption Price of, and the Liquidation Distribution in respect of the Trust
Securities, as applicable, shall be made, subject to Section 4.2(e), pro rata among the Common Securities and the Preferred Securities based on the Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities; provided, however, that if on any
Distribution Date, Redemption Date or Liquidation Date any Event of Default resulting from a Debenture Event of Default specified in Section 2.9(a) of the Supplemental Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, no payment of any
Distribution (including any Additional Amounts) on, Redemption Price of, or Liquidation Distribution in respect of any Common Security, and no other payment on account of the redemption, liquidation or other acquisition of Common Securities, shall
be made unless payment in full in cash of all accumulated and unpaid Distributions (including any Additional Amounts) on all Outstanding Preferred Securities for all Distribution Periods terminating on or prior thereto, or in the case of payment of
the Redemption Price the full amount of such Redemption Price on all Outstanding Preferred Securities then called for redemption, or in the case of payment of the Liquidation Distribution the full amount of such Liquidation Distribution on all
Outstanding Preferred Securities, shall have been made or provided for, and all funds immediately available to the Property Trustee shall first be applied to the payment in full in cash of all Distributions (including any Additional Amounts) on, or
the Redemption Price of, the Preferred Securities then due and payable. 
 (b) In the case of the occurrence of any Event of Default
resulting from any Debenture Event of Default, the Holders of the Common Securities shall have no right to act with respect to any such Event of Default under this Amended Declaration until the effect of all such Events of Default with respect to
the Preferred Securities have been cured, waived or otherwise eliminated. Until all such Events of Default under this Amended Declaration with respect to the Preferred Securities have been so cured, waived or otherwise eliminated, the Property
Trustee shall act solely on behalf of the Holders of the Preferred Securities and not on behalf of the Holders of the Common Securities, and only the Holders of the Preferred Securities will have the right to direct the Property Trustee to act on
their behalf.

withholding and backup withholding tax laws and information reporting requirements with respect to any payments to Holders under the Trust Securities. Such withholding or backup withholding (if any) shall be deducted from any payment and shall be
considered as duly paid under the terms of this Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust and the Trust Securities. 
 Section 4.6.
Payments under Indenture or Pursuant to Direct Actions.

thereof, and the Common Securities Certificates shall be issued in minimum denominations of $25 Liquidation Amount and integral multiples thereof. The Trust Securities Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer Trust by manual signature
of at least one Administrative Trustee. Trust Securities Certificates bearing the manual signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Issuer Trust shall be validly

action by the Sponsor, in authorized denominations; provided, however, that no such additional Preferred Securities shall be issued unless the Administrative Trustees shall have receive an Opinion of Counsel experienced in such matters to the
effect that such issuance will not cause the Issuer Trust to be taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes or affect the Issuer Trust’s exemption from status as an “investment company” under the Investment Company
Act or affect the treatment of the Debentures as indebtedness of the Sponsor for United States federal income tax purposes At no time will the aggregate Liquidation Amount of all Outstanding Preferred Securities (including additional Preferred
Securities) exceed $•. 
 Each Preferred Securities Certificate shall be dated the date of its authentication. 
 No Preferred Securities Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Amended Declaration or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless
there appears on such Preferred Securities Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for in the form attached as Exhibit C executed by the Property Trustee by the manual signature of one of its Authorized
Officers, and such certificate upon any Preferred Securities Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Preferred Securities Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

event specified in clause (A), (B), (C) or (D) above, the Property Trustee shall notify the Clearing Agency and instruct the Clearing Agency to notify all Owners of Book-Entry Preferred Securities and the Administrative Trustees of the
occurrence of such event and of the availability of the Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates to Owners of such class or classes, as applicable, requesting the same. 
 (c) If any Book-Entry Preferred Securities Certificate is to be exchanged for other Preferred Securities Certificates or cancelled in part, or if any
other Preferred Securities Certificate is to be exchanged in whole or in part for Book-Entry Preferred Securities represented by a Book-Entry Preferred Securities Certificate, then either (i) such Book-Entry Preferred Securities Certificate

increased by an amount equal to the Liquidation Amount represented by that portion of the Book-Entry Preferred Securities Certificate to be so exchanged or cancelled, or equal to the Liquidation Amount represented by such other Preferred Securities
Certificates to be so exchanged for Book-Entry Preferred Securities represented thereby, as the case may be, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Securities Registrar, whereupon the Property Trustee, in accordance with
the Applicable Procedures, shall instruct the Clearing Agency or its authorized representative to make a corresponding adjustment to its records. Upon surrender to the Administrative Trustees or the Securities Registrar of the Book-Entry Preferred
Securities Certificate or Certificates by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Administrative Trustees, or any one of them, shall execute the Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates in accordance with the
instructions of the Clearing Agency. None of the Securities Registrar or the Issuer Trustees shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon

issuance of any new Trust Securities Certificate under this Section 5.6, the Administrative Trustees or the Securities Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection therewith. Any duplicate Trust Securities Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of an undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the Issuer Trust corresponding to that evidenced by the

remove the Paying Agent in their sole discretion. The Paying Agent shall initially be Wilmington Trust Company. Any Person acting as Paying Agent shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent upon 30 days’ written notice to the Administrative
Trustees and the Property Trustee. If Wilmington Trust Company shall no longer be the Paying Agent or a successor Paying Agent shall resign or its authority to act be revoked, the Administrative Trustees shall appoint a successor (which shall be a
bank or trust company) to act as Paying Agent. Such successor Paying Agent or any additional Paying Agent appointed by the Administrative Trustees shall execute and deliver to the Issuer Trustees an instrument in which such successor Paying Agent or
additional Paying Agent shall agree with the Issuer Trustees that as Paying Agent, such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent will hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Holders in trust for the benefit of the Holders
entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Holders. The Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the Property Trustee and upon removal of a Paying Agent such Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to the
Property Trustee. The provisions of Sections 8.1 (other than (c), (d), (e)(i), (e)(iii) and (e)(vii) thereof), 8.3 (except (g) and (j) thereof) and 8.6 herein shall apply to Wilmington Trust Company also in its role as Paying Agent, for so

context requires otherwise. 
 Section 5.11. Ownership of Common Securities by Sponsor. 
 At the Time of Delivery, the Sponsor shall acquire, and thereafter shall retain, beneficial and record ownership of the Common Securities. The Sponsor
may not transfer the Common Securities except (i) in connection with a consolidation or merger of the Sponsor into another Person, or any conveyance, transfer or lease by the Sponsor of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to
any Person, pursuant to Article VIII of the Indenture, or (ii) to an Affiliate of the Sponsor in compliance with applicable law (including the Securities Act and applicable state securities and blue sky laws). To the fullest extent
permitted by law, any attempted transfer of the Common Securities other than as set forth in the next proceeding sentence shall be void. The Administrative Trustees shall cause each Common Securities Certificate issued to the Sponsor to contain a
legend stating substantially “THIS CERTIFICATE IS NOT TRANSFERABLE EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW AND SECTION 5.11 OF THE DECLARATION OF TRUST.” 
 Section 5.12. Notices to Clearing Agency. 
 To the extent that a notice or other communication to the
Holders is required under this Amended Declaration, for so long as Preferred Securities are represented by a Book-Entry Preferred Securities Certificate, the Administrative Trustees shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to
be given to the Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligations to the Owners. 
 Section 5.13. Rights of Holders; Waivers of Past
Defaults. 
 (a) The legal title to the Trust Property is vested exclusively in the Property Trustee (in its capacity as such) in
accordance with Section 2.9, and the Holders shall not have any right or title therein other than the undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the Issuer Trust conferred by their Trust Securities and they shall have no right to call for
any partition or division of property, profits or rights of the Issuer Trust except as described below. The Trust Securities shall be personal property giving only the rights specifically set forth therein and in this Amended Declaration. The Trust
Securities shall have no

preemptive or similar rights and when issued and delivered to Holders against payment of the purchase price therefor will be fully paid and nonassessable by

of private corporations for profit organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. 
 (b) For so long as any Preferred
Securities remain Outstanding, if, upon a Debenture Event of Default, the Debenture Trustee fails or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Debentures fail to declare the principal of all of the Debentures to be
immediately due and payable, to the fullest extent permitted by law the Property Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities then Outstanding shall have the right to make such declaration by a notice in
writing to the Sponsor, the Debenture Trustee and the Property Trustee, in the case of notice by the Holders of the Trust Securities, or to the Sponsor, the Debenture Trustee and the Holders of the Trust Securities, in the case of notice by the
Property Trustee. 
 At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Debentures has been made and before a judgment or
decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Debenture Trustee as provided in the Indenture, to the fullest extent permitted by law the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities, by written
notice to the Property Trustee, the Sponsor and the Debenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: 
 (i) the Sponsor has paid or deposited with the Debenture Trustee a sum sufficient to pay 
 (A) all overdue installments of interest (including any Additional Interest) on all of the Debentures, 
 (B) the
principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Debentures that have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest (including any Additional Interest) thereon at the rate borne by the Debentures, and 
 (C) all sums paid or advanced by the Debenture Trustee under the Indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Debenture Trustee, its agents and counsel; and 
 (ii) all Events of Default with respect to the Debentures,
other than the non-payment of the principal of the Debentures that has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13 of the Indenture. 
 To the fullest extent permitted by law the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities may, on behalf of the Holders
of all the Preferred Securities, waive any past default under the Indenture, except a default in the payment of principal or interest (unless such default has been cured and a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest and principal
due otherwise than by acceleration has been deposited with the Debenture Trustee) or a default in respect of a covenant or provision that under the Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding
Debenture. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
  

 -26- 
 DECLARATION OF TRUST 

 Upon receipt by the Property Trustee of written notice declaring such an acceleration, or rescission and
annulment thereof, by Holders of any part of the Preferred Securities a record date shall be established for determining Holders of Outstanding Preferred Securities entitled to join in such notice, which record date shall be at the close of business
on the day the Property Trustee receives such notice. The Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such notice, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record
date; provided that, unless such declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having joined in such notice prior to the day that is 90 days
after such record date, such notice of declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be canceled and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall
prevent a Holder, or a proxy of a Holder, from giving, after expiration of such 90-day period, a new written notice of declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof, as the case may be, that is identical to a written notice that
has been canceled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in which event a new record date shall be established pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.13(b). 
 (c) For so long as any Preferred Securities remain Outstanding, to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the terms of this Amended
Declaration and the Indenture, upon (i) the breach by the Sponsor of its obligations under Section 2.2(a)(iv) of the Supplemental Indenture to sell Qualifying Capital Securities (as defined therein) or Section 2.7(a) of the
Supplemental Indenture to issue Qualifying APM Securities (as defined therein) or (ii) a Debenture Event of Default specified in Section 2.9(a) of the Supplemental Indenture, any Holder of Preferred Securities shall have the right to
institute a proceeding directly against the Sponsor, pursuant to Section 2.13 of the Supplemental Indenture, for enforcement of payment to such Holder of any amounts payable in respect of Debentures having an aggregate principal amount equal to
the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities of such Holder (a “Direct Action”). Except as set forth in Section 5.13(b) and this Section 5.13(c), the Holders of Preferred Securities shall have no right to
exercise directly any right or remedy available to the holders of, or in respect of, the Debentures. 
 (d) To the fullest extent permitted
by law except as otherwise provided in Sections 5.13(a), (b) and (c), the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Preferred Securities, waive any past default or
Event of Default and its consequences. Upon such waiver, any such default or Event of Default shall cease to exist, and any default or Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Amended
Declaration, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 ARTICLE VI 
 ACTS OF HOLDERS; MEETINGS; VOTING

 Section 6.1. Limitations on Voting Rights. 
 (a) Except as expressly provided in this Amended Declaration and in the Indenture and as otherwise required by law, no Holder of Preferred Securities shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the
administration, operation and management of the Issuer Trust or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the Trust Securities Certificates, be construed so as to constitute the Holders
from time to time as partners or members of an association. 
  

 -27- 
 DECLARATION OF TRUST 

 (b) So long as any Debentures are held by the Property Trustee on behalf of the Issuer Trust, the other
Issuer Trustees shall not (i) direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Debenture Trustee, or execute any trust or power conferred on the Property Trustee with respect to the Debentures,
(ii) waive any past default that may be waived under Section 5.13 of the Indenture, (iii) exercise any right to rescind or annul a declaration that the principal of all the Debentures shall be due and payable, or (iv) consent to
any amendment, modification or termination of the Indenture or the Debentures, where such consent shall be required, without, in each case, obtaining the prior approval of the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred
Securities, provided, however, that where a consent under the Indenture would require the consent of each Holder of Debentures affected thereby, no such consent shall be given by the Property Trustee without the prior written consent of each
Holder of Preferred Securities. The Issuer Trustees shall not revoke any action previously authorized or approved by a vote of the Holders of the Preferred Securities, except by a subsequent vote of the Holders of the Preferred Securities. The
Property Trustee shall notify all Holders of the Preferred Securities of any notice of default received with respect to the Debentures. In addition to obtaining the foregoing approvals of the Holders of the Preferred Securities, prior to taking any
of the foregoing actions, the Issuer Trustees shall, at the expense of the Sponsor, obtain an Opinion of Counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that such action shall not cause the Issuer Trust to be classified as other than a grantor
trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes. 
 (c) If any proposed amendment to the Amended Declaration provides for, or the Issuer Trustees
otherwise propose to effect, (i) any action that would adversely affect in any material respect the powers, preferences or special rights of the Preferred Securities, whether by way of amendment to this Amended Declaration or otherwise, or
(ii) the dissolution of the Issuer Trust, other than pursuant to the terms of this Amended Declaration, then the Holders of Outstanding Preferred Securities as a class will be entitled to vote on such amendment or proposal and such amendment or
proposal shall not be effective except with the approval of the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Amended Declaration, no amendment to this Amended
Declaration may be made if, as a result of such amendment, it would cause the Issuer Trust to be classified as other than a grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes. 
 Section 6.2. Notice of Meetings. 
 Notice of all meetings of the Holders of the Preferred Securities, stating the time, place and purpose of the meeting, shall be given by the Administrative Trustees or, at the written request of the Administrative Trustees, by the Property
Trustee pursuant to Section 10.8 to each Holder of Preferred Securities, at such Holder’s registered address, at least 15 days and not more than 90 days before the meeting. At any such meeting, any business properly before the meeting may
be so considered whether or not stated in the notice of the meeting. Any adjourned meeting may be held as adjourned without further notice. 
 Section 6.3. Meetings of Holders of the Preferred Securities. 
 No annual meeting of Holders is required to be held. The
Administrative Trustees, however, shall call a meeting of the Holders of the Preferred Securities to vote on any matter upon the written request of the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Outstanding Preferred Securities
and the Administrative Trustees or the Property Trustee may, at any time in their discretion, call a meeting of the Holders of the Preferred Securities to vote on any matters as to which such Holders are entitled to vote. 
  

 -28- 
 DECLARATION OF TRUST 

 The Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities, present in person
or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of the Holders of the Preferred Securities. 
 If a quorum is present at a meeting, an
affirmative vote by the Holders present, in person or by proxy, holding Preferred Securities representing at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities held by the Holders present, either in person or by proxy, at such
meeting shall constitute the action of the Holders of the Preferred Securities, unless this Amended Declaration requires a greater number of affirmative votes. 
 Section 6.4. Voting Rights. 
 Holders shall be entitled to one vote for each $25 of Liquidation
Amount represented by their Outstanding Trust Securities in respect of any matter as to which such Holders are entitled to vote. 
 Section
6.5. Proxies, etc. 
 At any meeting of Holders, any Holder entitled to vote thereat may vote by proxy, provided that no proxy
shall be voted at any meeting unless it shall have been placed on file with the Administrative Trustees, or with such other officer or agent of the Issuer Trust as the Administrative Trustees may direct, for verification prior to the time at which
such vote shall be taken. Pursuant to a resolution of the Property Trustee, proxies may be solicited in the name of the Property Trustee or one or more officers of the Property Trustee. Only Holders of record shall be entitled to vote. When Trust
Securities are held jointly by several persons, any one of them may vote at any meeting in person or by proxy in respect of such Trust Securities, but if more than one of them shall be present at such meeting in person or by proxy, and such joint
owners or their proxies so present disagree as to any vote to be cast, such vote shall not be received in respect of such Trust Securities. A proxy purporting to be executed by or on behalf of a Holder shall be deemed valid unless challenged at or
prior to its exercise, and the burden of proving invalidity shall rest on the challenger. No proxy shall be valid more than three years after its date of execution. 
 Section 6.6. Holder Action by Written Consent. 
 Any action that may be taken by Holders at a meeting
may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice if Holders holding at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of all Preferred Securities entitled to vote in respect of such action (or such larger proportion thereof as shall be required by
any other provision of this Amended Declaration) shall consent to the action in writing. 
 Section 6.7. Record Date for Voting and Other
Purposes. 
 For the purposes of determining the Holders who are entitled to notice of and to vote at any meeting or by written consent,
or to participate in any distribution on the Trust Securities in respect of which a record date is not otherwise provided for in this Amended Declaration, or for the purpose of any other action, the Administrative Trustees or Property Trustee may
from time to time fix a date, not more than 90 days prior to the date of any meeting of Holders or the payment of a distribution or other action, as the case may be, as a record date for the determination of the identity of the Holders of record for
such purposes. 
  

 -29- 
 DECLARATION OF TRUST 

 Section 6.8. Acts of Holders. 
 Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Amended Declaration to be given,
made or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, such
action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to an Administrative Trustee. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the
“Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Amended Declaration and (subject to
Section 8.1) conclusive in favor of the Issuer Trustees, if made in the manner provided in this Section. 
 The fact and date of the
execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the
individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient
proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner that any Issuer Trustee receiving the same deems sufficient.

 The ownership of Trust Securities shall be proved by the Securities Register. 
 Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Trust Security shall bind every future Holder of
the same Trust Security and the Holder of every Trust Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Issuer Trustees or the
Issuer Trust in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Trust Security. 
 Without limiting the foregoing,
a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Trust Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the Liquidation Amount of such Trust Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may
do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such Liquidation Amount. 
 If any dispute shall arise among the Holders
or the Issuer Trustees with respect to the authenticity, validity or binding nature of any request, demand, authorization, direction, consent, waiver or other Act of such Holder or Issuer Trustee under this Article VI, then the determination of such
matter by the Property Trustee shall be conclusive with respect to such matter. 
 Section 6.9. Inspection of Records. 
 Upon reasonable notice to the Administrative Trustees and the Property Trustee, the records of the Issuer Trust shall be open to inspection by Holders
during normal business hours for any purpose reasonably related to such Holder’s interest as a Holder.

materially and adversely affect the Issuer Trust or would question the right, power and authority of the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, to enter into or perform its obligations as one of the Issuer Trustees under this
Amended Declaration. 
 Section 7.2. Representations and Warranties of Sponsor. 
 The Sponsor hereby represents and warrants for the benefit of the Holders that:

this Amended Declaration. 
 ARTICLE VIII 
 THE ISSUER TRUSTEES 
 Section 8.1. Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

 (a) The duties and responsibilities of the Issuer Trustees shall be as provided by this Amended Declaration and, in the case of the
Property Trustee, by the Trust Indenture Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Section 8.1(c), no provision of this Amended Declaration shall require any of the Issuer Trustees to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any
financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it or they shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk
or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Amended Declaration relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Issuer Trustees shall be
subject to the provisions of this Section 8.1. Nothing in this Amended Declaration shall be construed to release an Administrative Trustee from liability for his or her own negligent action, his or her own negligent failure to act, or his or
her own willful misconduct. To the extent that, at law or in equity, an Issuer Trustee has duties and liabilities relating to the Issuer Trust or to the Holders, such Issuer Trustee shall not be liable to the Issuer Trust or to any Holder for such
Issuer Trustee’s good faith reliance on the provisions of this Amended Declaration. The provisions of this Amended Declaration, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of the Issuer Trustees otherwise existing at law or in
equity, are agreed by the Sponsor and the Holders to replace such other duties and liabilities of the Issuer Trustees. 
  

 -32- 
 DECLARATION OF TRUST 

 (b) All payments made by the Property Trustee or a Paying Agent in respect of the Trust Securities shall
be made only from the revenue and proceeds from the Trust Property and only to the extent that there shall be sufficient revenue or proceeds from the Trust Property to enable the Property Trustee or a Paying Agent to make payments in accordance with
the terms hereof. Each Holder, by its acceptance of a Trust Security, agrees that it will look solely to the revenue and proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent legally available for distribution to it as herein provided and that the Issuer
Trustees are not personally liable to it for any amount distributable in respect of any Trust Security or for any other liability in respect of any Trust Security. This Section 8.1(b) does not limit the liability of the Issuer Trustees
expressly set forth elsewhere in this Amended Declaration or, in the case of the Property Trustee, in the Trust Indenture Act. 
 (c) If an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Property Trustee shall enforce this Amended Declaration and the Transaction Agreements for the benefit of the Holders. 
 (d) The Property Trustee, before the occurrence of any Event of Default and after the curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, shall
undertake to perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Amended Declaration (including pursuant to Section 10.10), and no implied covenants shall be read into this Amended Declaration against the Property Trustee. If an
Event of Default has occurred (that has not been cured or waived pursuant to Section 5.13), the Property Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Amended Declaration, and use the same degree of care and skill in
its exercise thereof, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs. 
 (e) No
provision of this Amended Declaration shall be construed to relieve the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 

(i) prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default that may have
occurred: 
 (A) the duties and obligations of the Property Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of
this Amended Declaration (including pursuant to Section 10.10), and the Property Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Amended Declaration (including pursuant
to Section 10.10); and 
 (B) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Property Trustee, the Property Trustee may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Property Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Amended Declaration; but in
the case of any such certificates or opinions that by any provision hereof or of the Trust Indenture Act are specifically required to be furnished to the Property Trustee, the Property Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine
whether or not they conform on their face to the requirements of this Amended Declaration; 
 (ii) the Property Trustee shall
not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by an Authorized Officer of the Property Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Property Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; 
  

 -33- 
 DECLARATION OF TRUST 

 (iii) the Property Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Property Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Property Trustee under this Amended Declaration; 
 (iv) the Property Trustee’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safe keeping and physical preservation of the Debentures and the Payment Account shall be to deal with such property in a similar manner as the
Property Trustee deals with similar property for its own account, subject to the protections and limitations on liability afforded to the Property Trustee under this Amended Declaration and the Trust Indenture Act; 
 (v) the Property Trustee shall not be liable for any interest on any money received by it except as it may otherwise agree with the
Sponsor; and money held by the Property Trustee need not be segregated from other funds held by it except in relation to the Payment Account maintained by the Property Trustee pursuant to Section 3.1 and except to the extent otherwise required
by law; 
 (vi) the Property Trustee shall not be responsible for monitoring the compliance by the Administrative Trustees,
the Sponsor or any other Person with their respective duties under this Amended Declaration, nor shall the Property Trustee be liable for the default or misconduct of any other Issuer Trustee, or the Sponsor or any other Person; and 
 (vii) subject to Section 8.1(c), no provision of this Amended Declaration shall require the Property 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 Property Trustee shall have reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment of such funds
or liability is not reasonably assured to it under the terms of this Amended Declaration or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
 (f) The Administrative Trustees shall not be responsible for monitoring the compliance by the other Issuer Trustees or the Sponsor with their respective
duties under this Amended Declaration, nor shall any Administrative Trustee be liable for the default or misconduct of any other Administrative Trustee, the other Issuer Trustees or the Sponsor. 
 Section 8.2. Certain Notices. 
 (a)
Within 30 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Property Trustee, the Property Trustee shall transmit, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 10.8, notice of such Event of
Default to the Holders, the Administrative Trustees and the Sponsor, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived. 
 (b)
Within five Business Days after the receipt of notice of the Sponsor’s exercise of its right to defer the payment of interest on the Debentures pursuant to the Indenture and Supplemental Indenture, the Property Trustee shall transmit, in the
manner and to the extent provided in Section 10.8, notice of such exercise to the Holders, unless such exercise shall have been revoked. 
  

 -34- 
 DECLARATION OF TRUST 

 (c) Within 30 days after the receipt of notice of the Sponsor’s amendment the definition of
qualifying APM securities for the purposes of the alternative payment mechanism to eliminate common stock or qualifying warrants from the definition of qualifying APM securities, the Property Trustee shall transmit, in the manner and to the extent
provided in Section 10.8, notice of such exercise to the Holders. 
 Section 8.3. Certain Rights of Property Trustee. 

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.1: 
 (a) the Property Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting in good faith upon any resolution, Opinion of Counsel, certificate, written representation of a Holder or transferee, certificate of auditors or
any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or
presented by the proper party or parties; 
 (b) if (i) in performing its duties under this Amended Declaration the Property Trustee is
required to decide between alternative courses of action, (ii) in construing any of the provisions of this Amended Declaration the Property Trustee finds the same ambiguous or inconsistent with any other provisions contained herein, or
(iii) the Property Trustee is unsure of the application of any provision of this Amended Declaration, then, except as to any matter as to which the Holders of the Preferred Securities are entitled to vote under the terms of this Amended
Declaration, the Property Trustee shall deliver a notice to the Sponsor requesting the Sponsor’s opinion as to the course of action to be taken, and the Property Trustee shall be fully protected in taking such action, or refraining from taking
such action, as the Property Trustee shall be instructed in writing to take, or to refrain from taking, by the Sponsor; provided, however, that if the Property Trustee does not receive such instructions of the Sponsor within ten
Business Days after it has delivered such notice, or such reasonably shorter period of time set forth in such notice (which to the extent practicable shall not be less than two Business Days), it may take or refrain from taking such action not
inconsistent with this Amended Declaration as it shall deem advisable and in the best interests of the Holders, in which event the Property Trustee shall have no liability except for its own bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct; 

(c) any direction or act of the Sponsor contemplated by this Amended Declaration shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate;

 (d) any direction or act of an Administrative Trustee contemplated by this Amended Declaration shall be sufficiently evidenced by a
certificate executed by such Administrative Trustee and setting forth such direction or act; 
 (e) the Property Trustee shall have no duty
to see to any recording, filing or registration of any instrument (including any financing or continuation statement or any filing under tax or securities laws) or any rerecording, refiling or re-registration thereof; 
 (f) the Property Trustee may (at the expense of the Sponsor) consult with counsel of its own selection (which counsel may be counsel to the Sponsor or
any of its Affiliates, and may include any of its employees) and the advice of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance
thereon and in accordance with such advice; the Property Trustee shall have the right at any time to seek instructions concerning the administration of this Amended Declaration from any court of competent jurisdiction; 
  

 -35- 
 DECLARATION OF TRUST 

 (g) the Property Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in
it by this Amended Declaration at the request or direction of any of the Holders or the Sponsor pursuant to this Amended Declaration, unless such Holders or Sponsor shall have offered to the Property Trustee reasonable security or indemnity
satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction; provided that nothing contained in this Section 8.3(g) shall be taken to relieve the Property
Trustee, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default of its obligation to exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Amended Declaration; 
 (h) the Property Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture, note
or other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by one or more Holders, but the Property Trustee may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit at the
expense of the Sponsor and shall incur no liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation; 
 (i) the Property Trustee may
execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through its agents or attorneys, provided that the Property Trustee shall be responsible for its own negligence or willful misconduct with
respect to selection of any agent or attorney appointed by it hereunder and shall not be liable for any act or omission of such agent or attorney selected with due care or for monitoring the actions of such agent or attorney; 
 (j) whenever in the administration of this Amended Declaration the Property Trustee shall deem it desirable to receive instructions with respect to
enforcing any remedy or right or taking any other action hereunder, the Property Trustee (i) may request instructions from the Holders (which instructions may only be given by the Holders of the same proportion in Liquidation Amount of the
Trust Securities as would be entitled to direct the Property Trustee under the terms of the Trust Securities in respect of such remedy, right or action), (ii) may refrain from enforcing such remedy or right or taking such other action until
such instructions are received, and (iii) shall be protected in acting in accordance with such instructions; and 
 (k) except as
otherwise expressly provided by this Amended Declaration, the Property Trustee shall not be under any obligation to take any action that is discretionary under the provisions of this Amended Declaration.

any right, power, duty or obligation conferred or imposed on it, in any jurisdiction in which it shall be illegal, or in which such Person shall be unqualified or incompetent in accordance with applicable law, to perform any such act or acts, or to

 DECLARATION OF TRUST 

 Notwithstanding any provision of law or equity, the Sponsor and any Issuer Trustee 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 Issuer Trust, and the Issuer Trust and the Holders of Trust Securities shall have no rights by
virtue of this Amended Declaration in and to such independent ventures or the income or profits derived therefrom, and the pursuit of any such venture, even if competitive with the business of the Issuer Trust, shall not be deemed wrongful or
improper. Notwithstanding any provision of law or equity, neither the Sponsor nor any Issuer Trustee shall be obligated to present any particular investment or other opportunity to the Issuer Trust even if such opportunity is of a character that, if
presented to the Issuer Trust, could be taken by the Issuer Trust, and the Sponsor and any Issuer Trustee shall have the right to take for its own account (individually or as a partner or fiduciary) or to recommend to others any such particular

at least $50,000,000, and is a U.S. Person. If any such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of its supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.7 and to
the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Property
Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.7, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article VIII. At the time
of appointment, the Property Trustee must have securities rated in one of the three highest rating categories by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. 
 (b) There shall at all times be one or more Administrative Trustees hereunder with respect to the Trust Securities. Each Administrative Trustee shall be either a natural person who is at least 21 years of age or a

Amended Declaration for the purposes of clause (i) of the first proviso contained in Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

 Unless and until a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, at any time or times, for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of the Trust Indenture Act or of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Property may at the time be located, the Holder of Common Securities and the
Administrative Trustees shall have the power to appoint one or more eligible Persons either to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Property Trustee, of all or any part of such Trust Property, or to the extent required by law to act as separate
trustee of any such property, in either case with such powers as may be provided in the instrument of appointment, and to vest in such Person or Persons in the capacity aforesaid, any property, title, right or power deemed necessary or desirable,
subject to the other provisions of this Section. Any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed pursuant to this Section shall either be (i) a natural person who is at least 21 years of age and a resident of the United States, or (ii) a
legal entity with its principal place of business in the United States that shall act through one or more persons authorized to bind such entity, and, in either case, shall be a U.S. Person. In case a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, the Property Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment and, upon the written request of the Property Trustee, the Sponsor and the Administrative Trustees shall for such purpose join with the Property Trustee in
the execution, delivery, and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to appoint, such co-trustee or separate trustee. 
 Should any written instrument from the Sponsor be required by any co-trustee or separate trustee so appointed for more fully confirming to such co-trustee or separate trustee such property, title, right, or power, any and all such
instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Sponsor. 
 Every co-trustee or separate trustee shall, to the
extent permitted by law, but to such extent only, be appointed subject to the following terms, namely: 
 (a) The Trust Securities
Certificates shall be executed by one or more Administrative Trustees, and the Trust Securities Certificates shall be delivered by the Property Trustee, and all rights, powers, duties, and obligations hereunder in respect of the custody of
securities, cash and other personal property held by, or required to be deposited or pledged with, the Property Trustee specified hereunder shall be exercised solely by the Property Trustee and not by such co-trustee or separate trustee. 

(b) The rights, powers, duties, and obligations hereby conferred or imposed upon the Property Trustee in respect of any property covered by such
appointment shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Property Trustee or by the Property Trustee and such co-trustee or separate trustee jointly, as shall be provided in the instrument appointing such co-trustee or
separate trustee, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed, the Property Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties
and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such co-trustee or separate trustee. 
  

 -39- 
 DECLARATION OF TRUST 

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

 (d) No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of the Property Trustee or any
other trustee hereunder. 
 (e) The Property Trustee shall not be liable by reason of any act of a co-trustee or separate trustee.

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

 Section 8.10. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. 
 No resignation or removal of any Issuer Trustee (the “Relevant Trustee”) and no appointment of a successor Issuer Trustee pursuant to
this Article VIII shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Issuer Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11. 
 Subject to the immediately preceding paragraph, the Relevant Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Holders and by
appointing a successor Relevant Trustee. The Relevant Trustee shall appoint a successor by requesting from at least three Persons meeting the eligibility requirements its expenses and charges to serve as the Relevant Trustee on a form provided by
the Administrative Trustees, and selecting the Person who agrees to the lowest expenses and charges. If the instrument of acceptance by the successor Issuer Trustee required by Section 8.11 shall not have been delivered to the Relevant Trustee
within 60 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the Relevant Trustee may petition, at the expense of the Sponsor, in the case of the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of
a successor Relevant Trustee. 
 The Administrative Trustees, or any of them, may be removed at any time by Act of the Holders of Common
Securities delivered to the Relevant Trustee. 
 The Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, or both of them, may be removed by Act of the
Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities, delivered to the Relevant Trustee (in its individual capacity and, in the case of the Property Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer Trust) (i) for cause (including
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in subparagraph (c) of the definition thereof with respect to the Relevant Trustee), or (ii) at any time if a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Unless and
until a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, or both of them, may be removed at any time by Act of the Holders of the Common Securities. 
  

 -40- 
 DECLARATION OF TRUST 

 If a resigning Property Trustee or Delaware Trustee shall fail to appoint a successor, or if the Property
Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall be removed or become incapable of acting as Issuer Trustee, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee for any cause, the Holders of the Common Securities by Act of
such Holders delivered to the Relevant Trustee or, if a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Holders of the Preferred Securities, by Act of the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the
Preferred Securities then Outstanding delivered to such Relevant Trustee, may appoint a successor Relevant Trustee or Issuer Trustees, and such successor Issuer Trustee shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11. If no
successor Relevant Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Holders of the Common Securities or Preferred Securities, as the case may be, and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 8.11, any Holder, on behalf of such Holder
and all others similarly situated, or any other Issuer Trustee, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Relevant Trustee. 
 The Property Trustee shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of an Issuer Trustee and each appointment of a successor Issuer Trustee to all Holders in the manner provided in Section 10.8 and shall
give notice to the Sponsor and to the Administrative Trustees. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Relevant Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office if it is the Property Trustee. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Amended Declaration, if any Delaware Trustee who is a natural person dies or becomes, in the
opinion of the Holders of the Common Securities, incompetent or incapacitated, the vacancy created by such death, incompetence or incapacity may be filled by the Property Trustee following the procedures regarding expenses and charges set forth
above (with the successor being a Person who satisfies the eligibility requirement for the Delaware Trustee set forth in Section 8.7). 
 A successor Trustee must be a U.S. Person to be appointed as such. 
 Section 8.11. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

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

 -41- 
 DECLARATION OF TRUST 

 Upon request of any such successor Relevant Trustee, the Issuer Trust shall execute any and all
instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Relevant Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the preceding paragraph. 
 No successor Relevant Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Relevant Trustee shall be qualified and
eligible under this Article VIII. 
 Section 8.12. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. 
 Any Person into which the Property Trustee, the Delaware Trustee or any Administrative Trustee that is not a natural Person may be merged or converted or
with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Relevant Trustee shall be a party, or any Person, succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of such
Relevant Trustee, shall be the successor of such Relevant Trustee hereunder, provided that such Person shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article VIII, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the
part of any of the parties hereto, other than the filing of an amendment to the Certificate of Trust to the extent required under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act. 
 Section 8.13. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Sponsor or Issuer Trust. 
 If and when the
Property Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Sponsor or the Issuer Trust (or any other obligor upon the Preferred Securities), the Property Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of
claims against the Sponsor or the Issuer Trust (or any such other obligor). 
 Section 8.14. Property Trustee May File Proofs of
Claim. 
 In case of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other
similar judicial proceeding relative to the Issuer Trust or any other obligor upon the Trust Securities or the property of the Issuer Trust or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Property Trustee (irrespective of whether any Distributions
on the Trust Securities shall then be due and payable and irrespective of whether the Property Trustee shall have made any demand on the Issuer Trust for the payment of any past due Distributions) shall be entitled and empowered, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 
 (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of any
Distributions owing and unpaid in respect of the Trust Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Property Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Property Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and 
 (b) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 
 and any custodian,
receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Property Trustee and, in the event the Property Trustee shall consent to
the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Property Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Property Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due
the Property Trustee. 
  

 -42- 
 DECLARATION OF TRUST 

 Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Property Trustee to authorize or consent to or
accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement adjustment or compensation affecting the Trust Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Property Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any
Holder in any such proceeding. 
 Section 8.15. Reports by Property Trustee. 
 (a) Within 60 days after May 15 of each year commencing with May 15, 2008, the Property Trustee shall transmit to all Holders in accordance
with Section 10.8, and to the Sponsor, a brief report dated as of the immediately preceding May 15 with respect to:

 (ii) a statement that the Property Trustee has complied with all of its obligations under this Amended Declaration during the twelve-month
period (or, in the case of the initial report, the period since the Closing Date) ending with such May 15 or, if the Property Trustee has not complied in any material respect with such obligations, a description of such noncompliance; and

 (iii) any change in the property and funds in its possession as Property Trustee since the date of its last report and any
action taken by the Property Trustee in the performance of its duties hereunder which it has not previously reported and which in its opinion materially affects the Trust Securities. 
 (b) In addition, the Property Trustee shall transmit to Holders such reports concerning the Property Trustee and its actions under this Amended

the times required by Section 314 of the Trust Indenture Act. The Sponsor and the Administrative Trustees shall annually file with the Property Trustee a certificate specifying whether such Person is in compliance with all of the terms and
covenants applicable to such Person hereunder.

 If an Early Dissolution Event occurs, Section 9.4 shall apply. 
 Section 9.3. Termination. 
 The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Issuer Trustees
and the Issuer Trust created and continued hereby shall terminate upon the latest to occur of the following: (a) the distribution by the Property Trustee to Holders of all amounts required to be distributed hereunder upon the liquidation of the

 Section 9.4. Liquidation. 
 (a) If an Early Termination Event specified in clause (a), (b) or (d) of
Section 9.2 occurs or upon the Expiration Date, the Issuer Trust shall be liquidated by the Issuer Trustees as expeditiously as the Issuer Trustees determine to be possible by distributing, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the
Issuer Trust as provided by applicable law, including Section 3808(e) of the Act, to each Holder a Like Amount of Debentures, subject to Section 9.4(d). Notice of liquidation shall be given by the Property Trustee by first-class mail,
postage prepaid mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Liquidation Date to each Holder of Trust Securities at such Holder’s address appearing in the Securities Register. All such notices of liquidation shall: 
 (i) state the CUSIP number of the Trust Securities; 
 (ii) state the Liquidation Date; 
 (iii) state that from and after the Liquidation Date, the Trust Securities will no longer be deemed to be Outstanding and any Trust Securities Certificates not surrendered for exchange will be deemed to represent a

 -45- 
 DECLARATION OF TRUST 

 (iv) provide such information with respect to the procedures by which Holders may
exchange Trust Securities Certificates for Debentures, or if Section 9.4(d) applies receive a Liquidation Distribution, as the Administrative Trustees shall deem appropriate. 
 (b) Except where Section 9.2(c) or 9.4(d) applies, in order to effect the liquidation of the Issuer Trust and distribution of the Debentures to
Holders, the Property Trustee, either itself acting as exchange agent or through the appointment of a separate exchange agent, shall establish a record date for such distribution (which shall be not more than 30 days prior to the Liquidation Date)
and, establish such procedures as it shall deem appropriate to effect the distribution of Debentures in exchange for the Outstanding Trust Securities Certificates. 
 (c) Except where Section 9.2(c) or 9.4(d) applies, after the Liquidation Date, (i) the Trust Securities will no longer be deemed to be Outstanding, (ii) certificates representing a Like Amount of
Debentures will be issued to Holders of Trust Securities Certificates, upon surrender of such certificates to the exchange agent for exchange, (iii) any Trust Securities Certificates not so surrendered for exchange will be deemed to represent a
Like Amount of Debentures bearing accrued and unpaid interest in an amount equal to the accumulated and unpaid Distributions on such Trust Securities Certificates until such certificates are so surrendered (and until such certificates are so
surrendered, no payments of interest or principal will be made to Holders of Trust Securities Certificates with respect to such Debentures) and (iv) all rights of Holders holding Trust Securities will cease, except the right of such Holders to
receive Debentures upon surrender of Trust Securities Certificates. 
 (d) If, notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 9.4,
whether because of an order for dissolution entered by a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise, distribution of the Debentures in the manner provided herein is determined by the Property Trustee and the Administrative Trustees not to be
possible, or if an Early Dissolution Event specified in clause (c) of Section 9.2 occurs, the Trust Property shall be liquidated, and the Issuer Trust’s affairs shall be wound up by the Property Trustee and the Administrative Trustees
in such manner as the Administrative Trustees determine. In such event, upon the winding-up of the Issuer Trust except with respect to an Early Dissolution Event specified in clause (b) of Section 9.2, Holders will be entitled to receive
out of the assets of the Issuer Trust available for distribution to Holders, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Issuer Trust as provided by applicable law including Section 3808(e) of the Act, an amount equal to the Liquidation
Amount per Trust Security plus accumulated and unpaid Distributions thereon to the date of payment (such amount being the “Liquidation Distribution”). If, upon any such winding up, the Liquidation Distribution can be paid only in
part because the Issuer Trust has insufficient assets available to pay in full the aggregate Liquidation Distribution, then, subject to the next succeeding sentence, the amounts payable by the Issuer Trust on the Trust Securities shall be paid on a
pro rata basis (based upon Liquidation Amounts). The Holders of the Common Securities will be entitled to receive Liquidation Distributions upon any such dissolution pro rata (determined as aforesaid) with Holders of Preferred
Securities, except that the Preferred Securities shall have a priority over the Common Securities under the circumstances provided in Section 4.3. 
 Section 9.5. Mergers, Consolidations, Amalgamations or Replacements of Issuer Trust. 
 The Issuer
Trust may not merge with or into, consolidate, amalgamate, or be replaced by, or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any corporation or other body, except pursuant to this Section 9.5 or
Section 9.4. At the request of the Holders of the Common Securities, with the consent of the Administrative Trustees, the Issuer Trust may merge with or into, consolidate, amalgamate, or be replaced by or convey, transfer or lease its
properties and assets substantially as an entirety to a trust organized as such under the laws of any state; provided that (i) such 

  

 -46- 
 DECLARATION OF TRUST 

 
successor entity either (a) expressly assumes all of the obligations of the Issuer Trust with respect to the Preferred Securities, or
(b) substitutes for the Preferred Securities other securities having substantially the same terms as the Preferred Securities (the “Successor Securities”) so long as the Successor Securities have the same priority as the
Preferred Securities with respect to distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption and otherwise, (ii) a trustee of such successor entity possessing the same powers and duties as the Property Trustee is appointed to hold the
Debentures, (iii) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not cause the Preferred Securities (including any Successor Securities) to be downgraded by any nationally recognized statistical rating
organization which assigns ratings to the Preferred Securities, (iv) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of the

 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

 DECLARATION OF TRUST 

 Section 10.2. Amendment. 
 (a) This Amended Declaration may be amended from time to time by the Administrative Trustees and the Holders of all of the Common Securities, without the
consent of any Holder of the Trust Preferred Securities, the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee (i) to cure any ambiguity, correct or supplement any provision herein that may be inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to make any
other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Amended Declaration, which shall not be inconsistent with the other provisions of this Amended Declaration, (ii) modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of this Trust
Agreement to such extent as shall be necessary to ensure that the Issuer Trust will not be classified as other than a grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes at all times that any Trust Securities are outstanding, to ensure that the
Issuer Trust will not be required to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act or to ensure the treatment of the Preferred Securities as Tier 1 regulatory capital under the prevailing Federal Reserve Board
rules and regulations, (iii) to require that Holders that are not U.S. persons for U.S. federal income tax purposes irrevocably appoint a U.S. person to exercise any voting rights to ensure that the Issuer Trust will not be treated as a foreign
trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or (iv) to conform the terms of this Amended Declaration to the description of this Amended Declaration and the Trust Securities in the Prospectus; provided, however, that in the case of
either clause (i) or (ii), such action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Holder, the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, or impose any additional duty or obligation on the Property Trustee or the
Delaware Trustee; provided, further, that in the case of clause (iv), the Sponsor shall deliver to the Property Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (who may be counsel to the Sponsor or the Issuer
Trust), in each case confirming that such amendment has the effect of conforming the terms of this Amended Declaration to the descriptions of this Amended Declaration and the Trust Securities in the Prospectus. Any such amendment shall become
effective when notice is given to the Property Trustee, the Delaware Trustee and the Holders of the Preferred Securities. 
 (b) Except as
provided in Section 10.2(c), any provision of this Amended Declaration may be amended by the Administrative Trustees and the Holders of all of the Common Securities with the consent of Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount
of the Trust Securities; provided that the Issuer Trustees have received an Opinion of Counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Issuer Trustees or Administrative
Trustees in accordance with such amendment will not cause the Issuer Trust to be classified as other than a grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes or affect the Issuer Trust’s exemption from status as an “investment
company” under the Investment Company Act. 
 (c) In addition to and notwithstanding any other provision in this Amended Declaration,
without the consent of each affected Holder, this Amended Declaration may not be amended to (i) change the amount or timing of any Distribution on the Trust Securities or otherwise adversely affect the amount of any Distribution required to be
made in respect of the Trust Securities as of a specified date, or (ii) restrict the right of a Holder to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such date; and notwithstanding any other provision herein, without the
unanimous consent of the Holders, this Section 10.2(c) may not be amended.
