Trustee, upon receipt of such Global Notes, together with an Officers’ Certificate requesting authentication, will authenticate such Global Notes and deliver them to the Securities Registrar, as custodian for the Depositary. Payments on the
Notes issued as Global Notes will be made to the Depositary. 
 (c) In the event that (i) any Pledged Notes for which no election has
been validly made pursuant to Section 8.02(a) of the Collateral Agreement are to be released from the Pledge and delivered to the Remarketing Agent pursuant to Section 8.02(b) of the Collateral Agreement or (ii) any Custody Notes for
which an election has been validly made pursuant to Section 8.03(a) of the Collateral Agreement are to be delivered to the Remarketing Agent pursuant to Section 8.03(b) of the Collateral Agreement (collectively, the “Remarketed
Notes”), such transfers shall be evidenced by an endorsement by the Securities Registrar on the Notes held by the Collateral Agent and the Custodial Agent, respectively, and in the Securities Register reflecting a reduction in the principal
amount of such Notes equal in amount to the principal amount of the Remarketed Notes. The Securities Registrar shall confirm any such reduced principal amount by faxing or otherwise delivering a photocopy of such endorsement made on the Notes
evidencing such reduced principal amount to the Trustee at the facsimile number or address of the Trustee provided for notices to the Trustee in the Collateral Agreement (or at such other facsimile number or address as the Trustee shall provide to
the Securities Registrar). Upon receipt of such confirmation, the Trustee shall instruct the Securities Registrar to increase the principal amount of a Global Note in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Remarketed Notes by an
endorsement made by the Securities Registrar on such Global Note to reflect such increase. 
 (d) In the event that any Pledged Note is to be
released from the Pledge (as defined in the Collateral Agreement) and transferred to the Custody Account (as defined in the Collateral Agreement) pursuant to Section 6.02(a) of the Collateral Agreement (a “Custody Note”), as a
result of the exchange of Preferred HITS and Qualifying Treasury Securities for Treasury HITS and Corporate HITS as provided in said Section 6.02(a) of the Collateral Agreement, such transfer shall be evidenced by an endorsement by the
Securities Registrar on the Pledged Notes held by the Collateral Agent reflecting a reduction in the principal amount of such Pledged Notes and on the Custody Notes held by the Custodial Agent reflecting an increase in the principal amount of such
Custody Notes, in each case equal in amount to the principal amount of the Note so transferred. The Collateral Agent and the Custodial Agent shall confirm any such reduced principal amount of Pledged Notes and increased principal amount of Custody
Notes by faxing or otherwise delivering a photocopy of such endorsements made on the Notes evidencing such reduced or increased principal amounts, as applicable, to the Trustee at the facsimile number or address of the Trustee provided for notices
to the Trustee in the Collateral Agreement (or at such other facsimile number or address as the Trustee shall provide to the Collateral Agent and the Custodial Agent). Upon receipt of such confirmation, the Trustee shall instruct the Custodial Agent
or Securities Registrar to account for such transfer in the manner as specified in the Collateral Agreement. 
  

 -13- 

 (e) In the event that a Note is transferred from the Custody Account to the Collateral Account pursuant
to Section 6.03(b)(i) of the Collateral Agreement in connection with the exchange of Treasury HITS and Corporate HITS for Preferred HITS and Qualifying Treasury Securities as provided in Section 6.03 of the Collateral Agreement, such
transfer shall be evidenced by an endorsement by the Securities Registrar on the Pledged Notes held by the Collateral Agent reflecting an increase in the principal amount of such Pledged Notes and on the Custody Notes held by the Custodial Agent
reflecting a reduction in the principal amount of such Custody Notes, in each case equal in amount to the principal amount of the Note so transferred. The Collateral Agent and the Custodial Agent shall confirm any such increased principal amount of
Pledged Notes and reduced principal amount of Custody Notes by faxing or otherwise delivering a photocopy of such endorsements made on the Notes evidencing such increased or reduced principal amount, as applicable, to the Trustee at the facsimile
number or address of the Trustee provided for notices to the Trustee in the Collateral Agreement (or at such other facsimile number or address as the Trustee shall provide to the Collateral Agent and the Custodial Agent). Upon receipt of such
confirmation, the Trustee shall instruct the Custodial Agent or Securities Registrar to account for such transfer in the manner as specified in the Collateral Agreement. 
 Section 2.5 Interest. 
 (a) Prior to a Remarketing of the Notes, each Note will bear interest at
the rate of     % per annum (the “Coupon Rate”), from February     , 2007 until the principal thereof becomes due and payable, and on any overdue principal and (to the extent
that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) on any overdue installment of interest or deferred interest at the Coupon Rate, compounded semi-annually, payable (subject to the provisions of Section 2.7) semi-annually in
arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year and on the Stock Purchase Date if other than March 15 or September 15 (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), beginning on September 15, 2007, to the Person in
whose name such Note or any predecessor Note is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such interest installment, which, in respect of any Notes of which the Property Trustee is the holder, shall be the close of business
on the Business Day next preceding that Interest Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if the Notes are no longer held by the Property Trustee, the relevant record dates shall be the close of business on the last day of the month
immediately preceding the month in which the Interest Payment Date falls. If there is a Failed Remarketing, interest shall also be payable on each Note on the Stock Purchase Date if it is not otherwise an interest payment date. 
 (b) The amount of interest payable for any period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. In the event that
any date on which interest is payable on the Notes is not a Business Day, then payment of interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such
delay). 
  

 -14- 

 (c) As further described in Section 2.7, the Company shall have the right to defer the payment of
interest on the Notes, as provided in Section 2.13 of the Base Indenture, for one or more Extension Periods. The Paying Agent shall give notice of the Company’s election to begin or extend any Extension Period to the holders of the
outstanding Notes in the form of a notice thereof as shall have been prepared by the Company and furnished to the Paying Agent. 
 Section 2.6 Redemption of the Notes. 
 (a) The Company may from time to time redeem the Notes (A) in whole but not
in part, at any time within 90 days after a Tax Event, Capital Treatment Event or an Investment Company Event or (B) in whole or in part, at any date on or after March 15, 2017 (each such date, a “Repayment Date”). In the
case of a Tax Event, the Company will have the right to redeem the Notes in whole but not in part at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount thereof or (ii) a Make-Whole Price, plus accrued and unpaid
interest, including any deferred interest, to the date of redemption, in accordance with Article 14 of the Base Indenture. In the case of a Capital Treatment Event or an Investment Company Event or in the case of a Repayment Date on or after
March 15, 2017, the Company may redeem the Notes in whole, but not in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, including any deferred interest, to the date of redemption, in
accordance with Article 14 of the Base Indenture. In the case of a Repayment Date on or after March 15, 2017, the Company may redeem the Notes in whole or in part at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued
and unpaid interest, including any deferred interest, to the date of redemption, in accordance with Article 14 of the Base Indenture. Any redemption will be made upon not less than 15 nor more than 60 days notice to the holders of the Notes. If the
Notes are redeemed in part pursuant to this Section 2.6, the Notes will be redeemed pro rata or by lot or by any other method utilized by the Trustee; provided that if, at the time of redemption, the Notes are registered as a Global Note, the
Depositary shall determine, in accordance with its procedures, the principal amount of such Notes held by each holder of a Note to be redeemed. The redemption price shall be paid by 12:00 noon, New York time, on the Repayment Date or at such earlier
time as the Company determines provided that the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount sufficient to pay the redemption price by 10:00 a.m., New York time, on the Repayment Date. The Company may not redeem the Notes in part if the
principal amount has been accelerated and such acceleration has not been rescinded or unless all accrued and unpaid interest has been paid in full on all outstanding Notes for all interest periods terminating on or before the Repayment Date. In
connection with a Remarketing, the Company may change the date after which it may redeem Notes to a later date or change the redemption price in accordance with Article III. 
 (b) The Notes are not entitled to any sinking fund payments. 
 (c) Payments on the Notes on any Repayment Date will be applied, first, to deferred interest to the extent of Eligible Proceeds raised pursuant to Section 2.9, second, to current interest to the
extent not paid from other sources, and third, to the principal of the Notes; provided that if the Company is obligated to sell its common stock, mandatorily convertible preferred stock, debt exchangeable for equity, qualifying
non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, REIT preferred securities and Qualifying Capital Securities and repay principal of or interest on any outstanding pari passu securities in addition to the Notes, then on any date and for 

  

 -15- 

 
any period the amount of net proceeds received by the Company from those sales and available for such payments shall be applied first to pari passu
securities having an earlier scheduled maturity date than the Notes and then to the Notes and those other pari passu securities having the same scheduled maturity date as the Notes pro rata in accordance with their respective outstanding
principal amounts and none of such net proceeds shall be applied to any other pari passu securities having a later scheduled maturity date until the principal of and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes has been paid in full. 
 Section 2.7 Option to Defer Interest 
 (a) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall have the right at any time and from time to time prior to the Maturity Date to defer payment of interest on the Note, for up to 14 consecutive semi-annual
Interest Periods, i.e. seven years after the commencement of such Extension Period (or the equivalent thereof, if the Interest Periods are not then semi-annual), with respect to each deferral period (each an “Extension Period”),
during which Extension Periods the Company shall have the right to make partial payments of interest on any Interest Payment Date, and at the end of which the Company shall pay all interest then accrued and unpaid (together with Compounded Interest
thereon to the extent permitted by applicable law); provided that no Extension Period shall extend beyond the Maturity Date of the principal of the Note, and each Extension Period shall end on a date that is an Interest Payment Date. Prior to
the termination of any such Extension Period, the Company may further extend the interest payment period, provided that no Extension Period shall exceed 14 consecutive semi-annual Interest Periods (or the equivalent thereof if this Note is
not then bearing interest semi-annually) or extend beyond the Maturity Date of the principal of the Note. 
 (b) During any such Extension
Period (a) the Company shall not 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 make any guarantee payment with
respect thereto (other than (i) purchases or acquisitions of shares of its common stock in connection with the satisfaction by the Company of its obligations under any employee benefit plans, (ii) as a result of a reclassification of its
capital stock or the exchange or conversion of one class or series of Company capital stock for another class or series of Company capital stock, (iii) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of its capital stock pursuant to an
acquisition or the conversion or exchange provisions of such capital stock or the security being converted or exchanged or (iv) payment by the Company under any guarantee agreement executed for the benefit of the holders of the HITS);
(b) the Company shall not make any payment of interest, principal or premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities (including guarantees) issued by the Company which rank pari passu with or junior to the Notes; and
(c) the Company shall not make any payment under any guarantee that ranks equally with or junior to the guarantee agreement executed for the benefit of the holders of the HITS. 
 (c) An Extension Period shall terminate upon the payment on any Interest Payment Date of all deferred interest and any Compounded Interest then due, and
the Company may elect to begin a new Extension Period, subject to the above requirements. 
  

 -16- 

 (d) The Company may elect to pay interest on any Interest Payment Date during any Extension Period to the
extent permitted by Section 2.8. 
 (e) Upon the termination of any such Extension Period and upon the payment of all accrued and unpaid
interest then due, the Company may elect to begin a new Extension Period, subject to the above requirements. Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, no interest shall be due and payable during an Extension Period except at the end thereof.
If the Notes are registered in the name of the Property Trustee, the Company will give the Property Trustee, the Delaware Trustee, the Regular Trustees and the Trustee written notice of its election to defer interest payments at least one Business
Day before the earlier of (i) the next succeeding Interest Payment Date and (ii) the date the Trust is required to give notice to the New York Stock Exchange or any other exchange on which the HITS are listed or any other applicable
self-regulatory organization, if any, of the record date or payment date for the related distribution (however, in no event shall notice be required more than 15 Business Days prior to an Interest Payment Date). The Trustee shall give notice of the
Company’s election to begin or extend any Extension Period to the Property Trustee as holder of the Notes, to the Regular Trustees and to the holders of the Corporate HITS, and if such election is made prior to the Stock Purchase Date or, if
earlier, the Remarketing Settlement Date, to the holders of the Preferred HITS. If the Notes are not registered in the name of the Property Trustee, the Company will give the holders of the Notes and the Trustee written notice of its election to
defer interest payments at least ten Business Days before the earlier of (i) the next succeeding Interest Payment Date and (ii) the date the Trust is required to give notice of the record date or payment date of such interest payment to
the New York Stock Exchange or any other exchange on which the Notes or the HITS are listed or any other applicable self-regulatory organization, or to the holders of the Notes (however, in no event shall notice be required more than 15 Business
Days prior to an Interest Payment Date). 
 (f) If an Extension Period is in effect on the Stock Purchase Date and there is a Failed
Remarketing, then the Company will pay the holder of the Note the deferred interest on the Stock Purchase Date in subordinated notes that (i) have a principal amount equal to the aggregate amount of deferred interest as of the Stock Purchase
Date, (ii) mature on the later of March 15, 2015 and five years after commencement of the related deferral period, (iii) bear interest at the rate of     % per annum, (iv) are subordinate and
rank junior in right of payment and upon liquidation to all of the Company’s Senior Obligations on the same basis as the Notes and (v) are redeemable by the Company at any time prior to their stated maturity and the restrictions set forth
in the first sentence of this paragraph shall remain in effect until the Company has paid in full all amounts outstanding under such notes. 
 Section 2.8 Payment of Deferred Interest. 
 (a) The Company covenants and agrees with each holder of the Notes that if
it defers payment of interest on any Interest Payment Date on or prior to the Stock Purchase Date, then (i) the Company shall notify the Federal Reserve if this covenant is applicable, (ii) the Company will pay deferred interest only out
of Eligible Proceeds, and (iii) commencing with the date two years after the beginning of such Extension Period, the Company shall, subject to the approval of the Federal Reserve, continuously use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to sell
shares of common stock or non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock not later than the 

  

 -17- 

 
termination of such Extension Period in an amount so that the net proceeds of such sale, when applied to such deferred payments of interest, will cause such
unpaid deferred interest payments to be paid in full and (unless the Federal Reserve instructs otherwise) apply the proceeds of such sale to pay the deferred amounts (provided that the Company shall not in any event be required to pay interest on
the Notes at a time when the payment of such interest would violate the terms of any securities issued by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or the terms of a contract binding on the Company or any of its subsidiaries); provided,
however, that the forgoing covenant shall not apply with respect to any interest on the Notes that is deferred and unpaid as of the date of consummation of any business combination where, immediately following its consummation, more than 50%
of the surviving entity’s voting stock is owned by the shareholders of the other party to the business combination; provided, further that the surviving entity may pay any deferred and unpaid interest with any available funds on
the next Interest Payment Date following the date of consummation of the business combination or if later, at any time within 90 days following the date of consummation of the business combination. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s
failure to raise sufficient Eligible Proceeds, or its use of other sources to fund such deferred interest payments subject to the foregoing covenant, by itself, shall not constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture, and this Fourteenth
Supplemental Indenture. 
 (b) Notwithstanding Section 2.8(a), if the Company is required to conduct a sale of shares of common stock or
non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock in order to pay amounts due and payable under any instruments or other securities that rank pari passu as to interest or distributions with the Notes, then the Company shall apply such proceeds to deferred
interest payments on the Notes, on the one hand, and such other pari passu securities, on the other hand, on a ratable basis in proportion to the total amounts that are due on the Notes and such securities before the Company shall be relieved of its
obligation to conduct the sale of the common stock or non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock and apply the proceeds thereof to such securities. 
 (c) If the Company issues subordinated notes in respect of deferred interest payments pursuant to Section 2.7(f), Sections 2.8(a) and (b) will apply to the payment of interest on and principal of these subordinated notes except
that references to termination of the Extension Period shall instead be to the maturity date of these subordinated notes. 
 Section 2.9
Alternative Payment Mechanism.  
 The Company shall provide notice to the Federal Reserve at least ten Business Days prior to the
APM Commencement Date. Immediately following any APM Commencement Date and until the termination of the related Extension Period, the Company, except to the extent that the Federal Reserve shall have disapproved, shall use Commercially Reasonable
Efforts to issue common stock and non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock until the Company has raised an amount of Eligible Proceeds at least equal to the aggregate and unpaid amount of deferred interest on the Notes (including Compounded Interest
thereon) and applied such Eligible Proceeds on the next Interest Payment Date to the payment of deferred interest (including Compounded Interest thereon) in accordance with Section 2.8; provided that: 
  

 -18- 

 (a) the foregoing obligations shall not apply in respect of any Interest Payment Date if the Company
shall have provided to the Trustee (and to the Property Trustee of the Trust to the extent it is the holder of the Notes) no more than 15 and no less than ten Business Days prior to such Interest Payment Date an Officers’ Certificate
stating that (i) a Market Disruption Event was existing after the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date and (ii) either (A) the Market Disruption Event continued for the entire period from the Business Day immediately following
the preceding Interest Payment Date to the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such Officers’ Certificate is provided or (B) the Market Disruption Event continued for only part of such period but the Company was unable
after Commercially Reasonable Efforts to raise sufficient Eligible Proceeds during the rest of that period to pay all accrued and unpaid interest due on the Interest Payment Date with respect to which such Officers’ Certificate is being
delivered; and 
 (b) to the extent that the Company has raised some but not all Eligible Proceeds necessary to pay all deferred interest
(including Compounded Interest thereon) on any Interest Payment Date pursuant to this Section 2.9, such Eligible Proceeds shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.8. 
 Section 2.10 Events of Default 
 (a) For purposes of the Notes (but not for purposes of any other Securities unless specifically set forth in the terms of such Securities), if one or more of the following shall occur and be continuing, such event shall constitute an
“Event of Default” with respect to the Notes under the Base Indenture and this Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture: 
 (i) A court
having jurisdiction in the premises shall enter a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver,
liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Company or for any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs and such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in
effect for a period of 90 consecutive days; 
 (ii) The Company shall commence a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency
or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, shall consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, or shall consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee,
custodian, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or shall make any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall fail generally to pay its debts as they become due;

 (iii) As long as the Notes are held by or on behalf of the Trust, the Trust shall have voluntarily or involuntarily dissolved, wound-up
its business or otherwise terminated its existence except in connection with (i) the distribution of the Notes to holders of the Trust Securities in liquidation of their interests in the Trust; (ii) the redemption of all of the outstanding
Trust Securities of the Trust; or (iii) certain mergers, consolidations or amalgamations, each as permitted by the Declaration; or 
  

 -19- 

 (iv) The Company shall fail to pay interest due in respect of the Notes for a period of 30 days after 14
consecutive semi-annual Interest Periods (or the equivalent thereof, if the Notes are not then bearing interest semi-annually). 
 (b) If an
Event of Default with respect to the Notes at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing, then unless the principal of all of the Notes shall have already become due and payable, the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare the entire principal amount of and all accrued but unpaid interest on the Notes to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by holders),
provided that, in the case of Notes issued to and held by the Trust, or any trustee thereof or agent therefor, if upon an Event of Default, the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes
fails to declare the entire principal and all accrued but unpaid interest of all the Notes to be immediately due and payable, the holders of at least 25% in aggregate liquidation amount of the Corporate HITS and, if such declaration occurs prior to
the Stock Purchase Date or, if earlier, the Remarketing Settlement Date, the Preferred HITS then outstanding, acting together as a single class, shall have such right by a notice in writing to the Company and the Trustee. Upon any such declaration,
such amount of the principal of and the accrued but unpaid interest on all the Notes shall become immediately due and payable, provided that the payment of principal and interest on the Notes shall remain subordinated to Senior Obligations to
the extent provided in Article 15 of the Base Indenture except to the extent otherwise determined in connection with an Early Remarketing. Upon payment (i) of the amount of principal so declared due and payable and (ii) of interest on any
overdue principal and overdue interest (in each case to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), all of the Company’s obligations in respect of the payment of the principal of and interest on the Notes shall
terminate. 
 Section 2.11 Notice of Defaults; Amount Payable upon Acceleration. 
 So long as any Notes are held by or on behalf of the Trust, the Trustee shall provide to the holders of the Preferred HITS, Trust Common Securities and
Corporate HITS such notices as it shall from time to time provide under Section 5.08 of the Base Indenture. In addition, the Trustee shall provide to the holders of the Preferred HITS, Trust Common Securities and Corporate HITS notice of any
Event of Default or event that, with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default with respect to the Notes within 30 days after the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of such Event of
Default or other event. 
 Section 2.12 Securities Registrar; Paying Agent; Delegation of Trustee Duties. 
 The Company appoints The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as securities registrar (the “Securities Registrar”) and Paying Agent with
respect to the Notes for so long as it shall act as Collateral Agent and Custodial Agent under the Collateral Agreement and has custody of the Notes in either of such capacities.

 ARTICLE III 
 REMARKETING AND RATE RESET PROCEDURES 
 Section 3.1 Obligation to Conduct Remarketing and
Related Requirements. 
 (a) The Company shall appoint the Remarketing Agent and enter into a Remarketing Agreement prior to the first
Remarketing to effect the Remarketing of the Notes upon the terms, conditions and other provisions provided therein and in the Declaration and the Collateral Agreement. 
 (b) The Remarketing Agreement shall provide that the Company and the Remarketing Agent agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the Remarketing of the Notes as described in this Article III, and in
connection therewith, the Remarketing Agent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a price for all the Remarketed Notes that results in proceeds, net of any remarketing fee, of at least 100% of their aggregate Remarketing Value. If
in the judgment of counsel to the Company or the Remarketing Agent it is necessary for a registration statement covering the Notes to be filed and become effective under the Securities Act in order to effect the Remarketing, then the Company shall
(i) use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that a registration statement covering the full principal amount of Notes to be remarketed shall become effective in a form that will enable the Remarketing Agent to rely on it in connection
with the Remarketing or (ii) effect such Remarketing pursuant to Rule 144A (if available) under the Securities Act or another available exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act. 
 Section 3.2 Company Decisions in Connection with Remarketing. 
 In connection with Remarketings, the Company shall have the right hereunder, subject to Section 3.3(a), without the consent of any holder of the Notes, to change certain terms of the Notes as provided below in
this Section 3.2 in order to obtain the Remarketing Value. By not later than the 21st calendar day prior to each Remarketing Date, the Company will specify the following information or decisions in a notice to the Remarketing Agent, the
Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent, the Property Trustee (on behalf of the Trust) and the Trustee (clauses (a) through (e) applying only if the Remarketing is Successful and clause (f) applying only in the case of a Failed
Remarketing): 
 (a) whether the Maturity Date will remain at March 15, 2043 or will be changed to an earlier date (specifying such date
if applicable); provided that the Maturity Date may not be changed to a date earlier than the earlier of (i) March 15, 2017 and (ii) if the Remarketing Settlement Date occurs during an Extension Period, the seventh anniversary
of the first day of such Extension Period; 
 (b) whether to change the date after which the Notes will be redeemable at the Company’s

2017 and (ii) if the Remarketing Settlement Date occurs during an Extension Period, the seventh anniversary of the first day of 

  

 -21- 

 
such Extension Period; and provided, further, that if the Remarketing Settlement Date occurs during an Extension Period no redemption price may be less than
the principal plus accrued and unpaid interest (including Compounded Interest) on the Notes; 
 (c) whether in connection with an Early
Remarketing that is not the first scheduled Remarketing, the Company is exercising its right under Section 7.2 to cause the subordination provisions in the Base Indenture and this Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture to cease to apply to the
Notes, if the Remarketing is Successful, from and after the Remarketing Settlement Date and if so, whether it also elects that the Notes shall no longer be subject to the interest deferral provisions of Section 2.7; 
 (d) whether the Notes will be remarketed as fixed rate notes or floating rate notes; 
 (e) if the Notes will be remarketed as floating rate notes, the applicable index (which must be a qualified floating rate) and the interest payment dates
and manner of calculation of interest on the Notes, which the Company may change to correspond with the market conventions applicable to notes bearing interest at rates based on the applicable index; and 
 (f) whether following a Failed Remarketing: 
 (i) the Maturity Date will remain at March 15, 2043 or will be changed to an earlier date, which date shall not be earlier than March 15, 2017 (specifying such date if applicable); and 
 (ii) the date after which the Notes will be redeemable at the Company’s option will be changed (which date shall not be earlier than March 15,
2017, except in the case of a Tax Event, a Capital Treatment Event or an Investment Company Event) and the redemption price or prices; 
 provided
that if the Failed Remarketing occurs during an Extension Period any changed Maturity Date of the Notes determined pursuant to clause (i) or early redemption date determined pursuant to clause (ii) may not be earlier than the seventh
anniversary of the first day of such Extension Period. 
 Any such elections made by the Company pursuant to clauses (a) through
(e) shall, upon Successful completion of a Remarketing, automatically apply and come into effect in respect of all of the Notes (whether or not sold in the Remarketing) as of the Remarketing Settlement Date and any such elections made by the
Company pursuant to clause (f) in connection with a Failed Remarketing shall come into effect in respect of the Notes upon the announcement by the Company that the Final Remarketing is a Failed Remarketing. 
 Section 3.3 Reset of Interest Rate in Connection with Remarketings and Related Changes in Terms. 
 (a) As part of and in connection with each Remarketing, the Remarketing Agent shall determine the Reset Rate or Reset Spread on the Notes, subject to
Sections 3.3(b) 

  

 -22- 

 
through (e), pursuant to the Remarketing Agreement and in accordance with the other provisions of this Article III, that will apply to all Notes (whether or
not sold in the Remarketing) if such Remarketing is Successful for each Interest Period or portion thereof commencing on or after such Remarketing Settlement Date, subject to the following provisions and limitations: 
 (i) in connection with a Remarketing that is not a Final Remarketing, (A) if the Notes are remarketed as fixed rate notes, the Reset Rate may not
exceed the Fixed Rate Reset Cap and (B) if the Notes are remarketed as floating rate notes, the Reset Spread may not exceed the Floating Rate Reset Cap; 
 (ii) the interest rate on the Notes may not at any time be less than 0% per annum; and 
 (iii) if
(A) the interest rate on the Notes is not a fixed rate or for a floating rate note the applicable index is not a “qualified floating rate” (as defined in U.S. Treasury regulations section 1.1275-5(b)), (B) interest on the Notes
is not unconditionally payable at intervals of no more than one year through the remaining term of the Notes, or (C) the redemption price of the Notes is not their principal amount (disregarding a customary call premium that is fixed or
objectively determinable based on a qualified floating rate), then the Company shall have received a written opinion of Morrison & Foerster LLP or other nationally recognized tax counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that the
discussion contained in the Prospectus under the heading “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” is materially correct, taking into account all of the terms of the Notes following the Remarketing. 
 (b) If the Remarketing has been determined to be Successful in accordance with Section 3.5(a), by approximately 4:30 P.M., New York City time, on
such Remarketing Date, the Remarketing Agent shall notify the Company, the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent, the Property Trustee (on behalf of the Trust) and the Trustee that the Remarketing was Successful and the Reset Rate or Reset Spread
and any new Maturity Date or redemption provisions determined as part of such Remarketing in accordance with this Article III. 
 (c) If a

 BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATION 
 REMARKETABLE FIXED RATE JUNIOR SUBORDINATED NOTE
DUE 2043 
 BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATION, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Delaware (hereinafter called the
“Company”, which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to THE BANK OF NEW YORK, AS PROPERTY TRUSTEE OF BAC CAPITAL TRUST XIV, or registered
assigns, the principal sum of
                                        
             Dollars ($                ) on March 15, 2043 or such earlier date as may be
specified by the Company following a Remarketing (such date is hereinafter referred to as the “Maturity Date”). 
  

 -26- 

 The Company further promises to pay interest on said principal sum from February __, 2007, or from the
most recent interest payment date (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”) on which interest has been paid or duly provided for (subject to deferral as set forth herein), semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and
September 15 of each year, commencing September 15, 2007, and on the Stock Purchase Date in the event of a Failed Remarketing if not otherwise an Interest Payment Date, at a rate equal __% (or after the Remarketing Settlement Date at such
rate per annum as may be established in the Remarketing), until the principal hereof is paid or duly provided for or made available for payment. The amount of interest payable for any period shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on which interest is payable on this Note is not a Business Day, then payment of the interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and
without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay), except that, if such next succeeding Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with
the same force and effect as if made on the date the payment was originally payable. A “Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday, or any other day on which banking institutions and trust companies in New York,
New York or Charlotte, North Carolina, are permitted or required by any applicable law to close. The interest installment so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid
to the person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities, as defined in the Indenture) is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such interest installment, which shall be the close of business on the
business day next preceding such Interest Payment Date. IF PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE INDENTURE THE NOTES ARE NO LONGER HELD BY THE PROPERTY TRUSTEE OR NO LONGER REPRESENTED BY A GLOBAL NOTE, the record date shall be the close of business on
the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which the Interest Payment Date falls. Any such interest installment not punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered holders on such regular
record date and may be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a special record date to be fixed by the Trustee (as hereinafter defined) for the payment of such
defaulted interest, notice whereof shall be given to the registered holders of this series of Notes not less than ten days prior to such special record date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the
requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. 
 The principal of (and premium, if any) and the interest on this Note shall be payable at the office or agency of the Trustee maintained for that purpose
in any coin or currency of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that payment of interest may be made at the option of the Company by check
mailed to the registered holder at such address as shall appear in the Security Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the holder of this Note is the Property Trustee, the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest
on this Note will be made at such place and to such account as may be designated by the Property Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the holder of this Note is the Property Trustee, the payment of the principal of and interest
(including expenses and taxes of BAC Capital Trust XIV set forth in Section 4.1 of the Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture, if any) on this Note will be 

  

 -27- 

 
made at the Paying Agent Office or at such place and to such account as may be designated in writing by the Property Trustee. This Note may be presented for
registration of transfer or exchange at the Securities Registrar Office. 
 If the principal amount hereof or any portion of such principal
amount is not paid when due (whether upon acceleration, upon the date set for payment of the redemption price as provided in the Indenture or upon the Maturity Date) or if interest due hereon (or any portion of such interest), is not paid when due,
then in each such case the overdue amount shall, to the extent permitted by law, bear interest at the rate then borne by this Note for the applicable Interest Period, compounded at the end of such Interest Period, which interest shall accrue from
the date such overdue amount was originally due to the date payment of such amount, including interest thereon, has been made or duly provided for. All such interest shall be payable as set forth in the Indenture. 
 The indebtedness evidenced by this Note is, to the extent provided in the Indenture, subordinate and junior in right of payment and upon liquidation to
the prior payment in full of all Senior Obligations, and this Note is issued subject to the provisions of the Indenture with respect thereto; provided that, in connection with an Early Remarketing that is not the first scheduled Remarketing,
the Company may elect that effective on or after the Remarketing Settlement Date the indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall cease to be subordinate and junior in right of payment and upon liquidation to the prior payment in full of all Senior
Obligations. Each holder of this Note, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee on its behalf to take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate
the subordination so provided and (c) appoints the Trustee its attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. Each holder hereof, by its acceptance hereof, waives all notice of the acceptance of the subordination provisions contained herein
and in the Indenture by each holder of Senior Obligations, whether now outstanding or hereafter incurred, and waives reliance by each such holder upon said provisions. 
 Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. 
 Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Note shall
not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

 (FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE) 
 This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Notes of the Company (herein called the “Notes”) specified in the Indenture and issued or to be issued in one or more series under the Restated
Indenture dated as of November 1, 2001 (herein called the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as successor to The Bank of New York (herein called the “Trustee”),
as amended and supplemented, and as further amended and supplemented by the Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of February __, 2007, between the Company and the Trustee (the “Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture,” and together
with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the
Trustee, the Company and the holders of the Notes, and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. By the terms of the Indenture, the Securities are issuable in series that may vary as to amount, date of
maturity, rate of interest, rank and in other respects as provided in the Indenture. This series of Notes is limited in aggregate principal amount as specified in the Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture. 
 Subject to the prior approval of the Federal Reserve, the Company may at any time, at its option, redeem this Note, without premium or penalty,
(i) within 90 days after a Tax Event, in whole but not in part, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (a) 100% of the principal amount thereof or (b) a Make-Whole Price, plus accrued and unpaid interest, including any deferred
interest, to the date of redemption, (ii) within 90 days after a Capital Treatment Event or an Investment Company Event, in whole but not in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount hereof plus accrued and unpaid
interest to the Redemption Date, or (iii) from time to time on or after March 15, 2017 (or such later date as may be specified by the Company in connection with a Remarketing), in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of
the principal amount hereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date, and in each case subject to the terms and conditions of Article 14 of the Base Indenture and Section 2.6 of the Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture. 

In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes of this series for the portion hereof not prepaid will be issued in the name
of the holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. 
 Subject to the limitations described in Sections 2.7 and 2.8 of the Fourteenth
Supplemental Indenture, and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall have the right at any time and from time to time prior to the Maturity Date to defer payment of interest on this Note, for up to 14
consecutive semi-annual Interest Periods, i.e. seven years after the commencement of such Extension Period (or the equivalent thereof, if the Interest Periods are not then semi-annual), with respect to each Extension Period, during which Extension
Periods the Company shall have the right to make partial payments of interest on any Interest Payment Date, and at the end of which the Company shall pay all interest then accrued and unpaid (together with Compounded Interest thereon to the extent
permitted by applicable law); provided that no Extension Period shall extend beyond the Maturity Date of the principal of this Note, and each Extension Period shall end on a date that is an Interest Payment Date. Prior to the termination of
any such Extension Period, the Company may further extend the 

  

 -30- 

 
interest payment period, provided that no Extension Period shall exceed 14 consecutive semi-annual Interest Periods (or the equivalent thereof if this
Note is not then bearing interest semi-annually) or extend beyond the Maturity Date of the principal of this Note. 
 No sinking fund is
provided for the Notes. 
 This Note shall be remarketed as provided in the Indenture. In connection therewith, the Company may change the
Maturity Date, the date after which this Note may be redeemed in whole or in part prior to the Maturity Date at the option of the Company, the rate of interest payable on this Note, the Interest Payment Dates, the manner of calculating interest on
this Note and certain other provisions of the Notes, all as set forth in the Indenture and without the consent of any holder of this Note. 
 The Indenture contains provisions for satisfaction and discharge of the entire indebtedness of this Note upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture. 
 The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the securities of each series affected at the time outstanding, as defined in the Indenture, voting as a class, to execute supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or
eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of the Notes; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall (i) extend the
fixed maturity of any Note (except as set forth in the terms of the Notes), or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce the principal amount thereof or any premium thereon, or reduce any amount payable on
redemption thereof or make the principal thereof or any interest or premium thereon payable in any coin or currency other than that provided in the Notes, or impair or affect the right of any holder of Notes to institute suit for payment thereof or
the right of repayment, if any, at the option of the holder, without the consent of the holder of each Note so affected, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Notes, the holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental
indenture, without the consent of the holders of each Note then outstanding and affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding affected
thereby, on behalf of all of the holders of the Notes, to waive any past default or Event of Default prior to a declaration of acceleration other than (i) a default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes,
(ii) a default in respect of covenants that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each holder of the Notes, or (iii) a default in respect of the covenant contained in Section 2.7(b) of the Fourteenth Supplemental
Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by the registered holder of this Note (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders and owners of this Note and of any Note issued in
exchange herefor or in place hereof (whether by registration of transfer or otherwise), irrespective of whether or not any notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. 
 As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, if an Event of Default with respect to the Notes at the time outstanding occurs and is
continuing, then in each and every such 

  

 -31- 

 
case the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare the entire principal amount of and all accrued
but unpaid interest on the Notes to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by holders), provided that, in the case of Notes issued to and held by BAC Capital Trust XIV, or any
trustee thereof or agent therefor, if upon an Event of Default, the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes fails to declare the entire principal and all accrued but unpaid interest of all the Notes
to be immediately due and payable, the holders of at least 25% in aggregate liquidation amount of the Corporate HITS and, if such declaration occurs prior to the Stock Purchase Date or, if earlier, the Remarketing Settlement Date, the holders of the
Preferred HITS then outstanding, acting together as a single class, shall have such right by a notice in writing to the Company and the Trustee. Upon any such declaration, such amount of the principal of and the accrued but unpaid interest on all
the Notes shall become immediately due and payable, provided that the payment of principal and interest on the Notes shall remain subordinated to Senior Obligations to the extent provided in Article 15 of the Base Indenture except to the
extent otherwise determined in connection with an Early Remarketing. Upon payment (i) of the amount of principal so declared due and payable and (ii) of interest on any overdue principal and overdue interest (in each case to the extent
that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), all of the Company’s obligations in respect of the payment of the principal of and interest on this Note shall terminate. 
 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time and place and at the rate and in the money herein prescribed. 
 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Securities Register,
upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company maintained under Section 3.02 of the Base Indenture duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company and the Securities Registrar (as defined in the Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture) duly executed by, the holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of such series, of authorized
denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
 Prior to due presentment of this Note for
registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee designated under Section 3.02 of the Base Indenture shall treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all
purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or the interest on this Note, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture, against any incorporator, stockholder,
officer or director, past, present or future, as such, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation, whether by virtue of any 

  

 -32- 

 
constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and

 (d) The obligations of the Trust to pay the purchase price in respect of the Stock Purchase Contracts are
non-recourse obligations and are payable solely out of the Proceeds of any Collateral pledged to secure the obligations of the Trust assignment of the Bank of America Deposit as set forth in this Section 2.2, and in no event will the Property

 (e) The Company shall not be obligated to cause the issuance of any share of Preferred Stock in respect of a Stock Purchase Contract or deliver any certificate therefor to the Property Trustee unless the Company shall

Preferred Stock. 
 (a) Unless a Termination Event shall have occurred, on the Stock Purchase Date upon receipt of the aggregate purchase

 11 

 Section 2.6 Contract Payments. 
 (a) Subject to Section 2.7, the Company shall pay, in arrears on each Payment Date, or if such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day, the Contract Payments payable in respect of each Stock Purchase
Contract to the Property Trustee or upon its order. The Contract Payments will be payable by wire transfer to the account designated by the Property Trustee by a prior written notice to the Company. The Contract Payments will accrue from and
including February     , 2007 or from and including the most recent Payment Date on which Contract Payments have been paid or duly provided for (subject to deferral as set forth in Section 2.7) to but excluding the
next succeeding Payment Date. Contract Payments will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the number of days that have actually elapsed. 
 (b) The Company’s obligations with respect to Contract Payments, if any, will be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the Company’s obligations under any Senior and Subordinated Debt to the extent
and in the manner set forth in Sections 2.6(b) through (l). 
 (c) In the event of (i) any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership,
liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, composition or other similar proceeding with respect to the Company, its creditors or its property, (ii) any proceeding for the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of
the Company, whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, (iii) any assignment by the Company for the benefit of creditors, or (iv) any other marshalling of the assets of the Company: 
 (A) all Senior and Subordinated Debt (including any interest thereon accruing after the commencement of any such proceedings) shall first
be paid in full before any payment or distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to the Property Trustee in respect of Contract Payments; 
 (B) any payment or distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property that would otherwise (but for these subordination
provisions) be payable or deliverable in respect of Contract Payments shall be paid or delivered directly to the holders of Senior and Subordinated Debt in accordance with the priorities then existing among such holders until all Senior and
Subordinated Debt (including any interest thereon accruing after the commencement of any such proceedings) shall have been paid in full; 
 (C) after payment in full of all sums owing with respect to Senior and Subordinated Debt, the Property Trustee, together with the holders of any obligations of the Company ranking on a parity with the Contract
Payments, shall be entitled to be paid from the remaining assets of the Company the amounts at the time due and owing on account of unpaid Contract Payments and interest thereon and such other obligations before any payment or other distribution,
whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made on account of any capital stock of the Company or any obligations of the Company ranking junior to the Company’s obligations to make Contract Payments under the Stock Purchase
Contracts and such other obligations; and 
  

 12 

 (D) in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of any
character or any security, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be received by the Property Trustee or the Trust in contravention of any of the terms hereof such payment or distribution or security shall be received in trust for the
benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered and transferred to, the holders of the Senior and Subordinated Debt at the time outstanding in accordance with the priorities then existing among such holders for application to the payment of all
Senior and Subordinated Debt remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all such Senior and Subordinated Debt in full. In the event of the failure of the Property Trustee or the Trust to endorse or assign any such payment, distribution or
security, each holder of Senior and Subordinated Debt is hereby irrevocably authorized to endorse or assign the same. 
 (d) For purposes of
Sections 2.6(b) through (l), the words “cash, securities or other property” shall not be deemed to include shares of stock of the Company as reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other Person provided for by a plan
of reorganization or readjustment, the payment of which is subordinated at least to the extent provided in Sections 2.6(b) through (l) with respect to such Contract Payments on the Stock Purchase Contracts to the payment of all Senior and
Subordinated Debt that may at the time be outstanding; provided that (i) the indebtedness or guarantee of indebtedness, as the case may be, that constitutes Senior and Subordinated Debt is assumed by the Person, if any, resulting from
any such reorganization or readjustment, and (ii) the rights of the holders of the Senior and Subordinated Debt are not, without the consent of each such holder adversely affected thereby, altered by such reorganization or readjustment.

 (e) Any failure by the Company to make any payment on or perform any other obligation under Senior and Subordinated Debt, other than any
indebtedness incurred by the Company or assumed or guaranteed, directly or indirectly, by the Company for money borrowed (or any deferral, renewal, extension or refunding thereof) or any indebtedness or obligation as to which the provisions of
Sections 2.6(b) through (l) shall have been waived by the Company in the instrument or instruments by which the Company incurred, assumed, guaranteed or otherwise created such indebtedness or obligation, shall not be deemed a default or event
of default if (i) the Company shall be disputing its obligation to make such payment or perform such obligation and (ii) either (A) no final judgment relating to such dispute shall have been issued against the Company that is in full
force and effect and is not subject to further review, including a judgment that has become final by reason of the expiration of the time within which a party may seek further appeal or review, or (B) in the event a judgment that is subject to
further review or appeal has been issued, the Company shall in good faith be prosecuting an appeal or other proceeding for review and a stay of execution shall have been obtained pending such appeal or review. 
 (f) Subject to the irrevocable payment in full of all Senior and Subordinated Debt, the Property Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall be subrogated
(equally and ratably with the holders of all obligations of the Company that by their express terms are subordinated to Senior and Subordinated Debt of the Company to the same extent as payment of the Contract Payments in respect of the Stock
Purchase Contracts is subordinated and that are entitled to like rights of subrogation) to the rights of the holders of Senior and Subordinated Debt to receive payments or distributions of cash, securities or other property of the Company applicable
to the Senior and Subordinated Debt until all such Contract Payments owing on the Stock Purchase Contracts shall 

  

 13 

 
be paid in full, and as between the Company, its creditors other than holders of such Senior and Subordinated Debt and the Property Trustee, no such payment
or distribution made to the holders of Senior and Subordinated Debt by virtue of Sections 2.6(b) through (l) that otherwise would have been made to the Property Trustee shall be deemed to be a payment by the Company on account of such Senior
and Subordinated Debt, it being understood that the provisions of Sections 2.6(b) through (l) are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Property Trustee, on the one hand, and the holders of Senior and
Subordinated Debt, on the other hand. 
 (g) Nothing contained in Sections 2.6(b) through (l) or elsewhere in this Agreement is intended
to or shall impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior and Subordinated Debt and the Property Trustee, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Property Trustee such Contract
Payments on the Stock Purchase Contracts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Property Trustee and creditors of the Company other than the
holders of Senior and Subordinated Debt, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Property Trustee from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Agreement, subject to the rights, if any, under
Sections 2.6(b) through (l), of the holders of Senior and Subordinated Debt in respect of cash, securities or other property of the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy. 
 (h) Upon payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in Sections 2.6(b) through (l), the Property Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon
any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which any such dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization proceeding affecting the affairs of the Company is pending or upon a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy,
receiver, conservator, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidating trustee or other Person making any payment or distribution, delivered to the Property Trustee, for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such
payment or distribution, the holders of the Senior and Subordinated Debt and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to
Sections 2.6(b) through (l). 
 (i) The Property Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by
a Person representing himself to be a holder of Senior and Subordinated Debt (or a trustee or representative on behalf of such holder) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of Senior and Subordinated Debt or a trustee or
representative on behalf of any such holder or holders. In the event that the Property Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior and Subordinated Debt to
participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to Section 2.6(b) through (l), the Property Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Property Trustee as to the amount of Senior and
Subordinated Debt held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under Sections 2.6(b) through (l), and, if such evidence is
not furnished, the Property Trustee may defer payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment. 
  

 14 

 (j) Nothing contained in Sections 2.6(b) through (l) shall affect the obligations of the Company to
make, or prevent the Company from making, payment of the Contract Payments, except as otherwise provided in Sections 2.6(b) through (l). 
 (k) The Bank of New York, or any successor Property Trustee, in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Section with respect to any Senior and Subordinated Debt at the time held by it, to the same
extent as any other holder of Senior and Subordinated Debt and nothing in this Agreement shall deprive The Bank of New York, or any successor Property Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. 
 (l) No right of any present or future holder of any Senior and Subordinated Debt to enforce the subordination herein shall at any time or in any way be
prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement, regardless of any knowledge thereof that any such holder may have or be
otherwise charged with. 
 (m) Nothing in this Section 2.6 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Property Trustee under or
pursuant to Section 2.7. 
 (n) With respect to the holders of Senior and Subordinated Debt, (i) the duties and obligations of the
Property Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement; (ii) the Property Trustee shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall, acting in good faith, mistakenly pay over or distribute to the Holders or to
the Company or any other Person cash, securities or other property to which any holders of Senior and Subordinated Debt shall be entitled by virtue of this Section 2.6 or otherwise; (iii) no implied covenants or obligations shall be read
into this Agreement against the Property Trustee; and (iv) the Property Trustee shall not be deemed to be a fiduciary as to such holders. 
 (o) Nothing in this Section 2.6 shall apply to any payment or distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property, made to, or paid over or distributed by, any Paying Agent in respect of Contract Payments or otherwise. The
Paying Agent shall owe no duty, fiduciary or otherwise, to any holder of Senior and Subordinated Debt and shall not be liable to any holders of Senior and Subordinated Debt if it shall pay over or distribute to the Holders or to the Company or any
other Person cash, securities or other property to which any holders of Senior and Subordinated Debt shall otherwise be entitled by virtue of this Section 2.6 or otherwise; and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this
Agreement against the Paying Agent. 
 Section 2.7 Deferral of Contract Payments. 
 (a) The Company shall have the right (which will be exercised if so directed by the Federal Reserve), at any time prior to the Stock Purchase Date, to
defer the payment of any or all of the Contract Payments otherwise payable on any Payment Date, but only if the Company shall give the Property Trustee and the Regular Trustees (with a copy to the Paying Agent) written notice of its election to
defer each such deferred Contract Payment (specifying the amount to be deferred) at least ten Business Days prior to the earlier of (i) the next succeeding Payment Date or (ii) the date the Property Trustee and the Regular Trustees are
required to give notice of any record date or Payment Date with respect to any class of HITS to the New York Stock Exchange 

  

 15 

 
or other applicable self regulatory organization or to the Holders, but in any event not less than one Business Day prior to such record date. Any Contract
Payments so deferred shall, to the extent permitted by law, accrue interest thereon at a floating rate per annum equal to Three-Month LIBOR plus     %, compounding on each succeeding Payment Date, until paid in full (such
deferred installments of Contract Payments, if any, together with the interest, if any, accrued thereon, being referred to herein as the “Deferred Contract Payments”). Deferred Contract Payments, if any, shall be due on the next
succeeding Payment Date except to the extent that payment is deferred pursuant to this Section 2.7, except as provided under Section 1.9. No Contract Payments may be deferred to a date that is after the Stock Purchase Date and no such
deferral period may end other than on a Payment Date, except as provided under Section 1.9. If the Stock Purchase Contracts are terminated upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Trust’s right to receive Contract Payments, if any,
and any Deferred Contract Payments, will terminate. 
 (b) In the event that the Company elects to defer the payment of Contract Payments on
the Stock Purchase Contracts until a Payment Date prior to the Stock Purchase Date, then all Deferred Contract Payments, if any, shall be payable to the Property Trustee on behalf of the Trust on such Payment Date, except as provided under
Section 1.9. 
 (c) In the event that the Company elects to defer the payment of Contract Payments on the Stock Purchase Contracts and
such deferral is continuing on the Stock Purchase Date, the Property Trustee will receive on the Stock Purchase Date in lieu of a cash payment, in addition to the shares of Preferred Stock to be issued pursuant to Section 2.3, Subordinated
Notes that will (i) have a principal amount equal to the aggregate amount of Deferred Contract Payments at the Stock Purchase Date, (ii) mature on the later of March 15, 2015 or five years after commencement of the deferral period,
(iii) bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal to Three-Month LIBOR plus     % (subject to deferral on the same basis as the Contract Payments), (iv) be subordinate and rank junior in right of payment to
all of the Company’s Senior and Subordinated Debt on the same basis as the Contract Payments, and (v) be redeemable at the option of the Company at any time or from time to time prior to their stated maturity at a redemption price equal to
the principal amount thereof plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption; provided that the Company shall register such Subordinated Notes under the Securities Act prior to the delivery thereof to the Property Trustee
unless they may be so delivered pursuant to an exemption or exception from registration thereunder. 
 (d) In the event the Company exercises
its option to defer the payment of Contract Payments then, until the earlier of (x) the Termination Date or (y) the date on which the Company shall have either paid all Deferred Contract Payments to the Property Trustee in cash or repaid
all amounts outstanding on the Subordinated Notes, the Company shall not (i) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any shares of its capital stock,
including its Preferred Stock, or make any guarantee payment with respect to the foregoing, other than: 
 (A) any repurchase,
redemption or other acquisition of shares of the Company’s capital stock in connection with any employment contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of any one or more employees, officers, directors,
consultants or independent contractors; 
  

 16 

 (B) any exchange, redemption or conversion of any class or series of the Company’s
capital stock, or the capital stock of one of its subsidiaries, for any other class or series of the Company’s capital stock, or any class or series of the Company’s indebtedness for any class or series of its capital stock; 
 (C) any purchase of fractional interests of the Company’s capital stock pursuant to the acquisition, conversion or exchange
provisions of such capital stock or the security being converted or exchanged; or 
 (D) payments in respect of the
Company’s guarantee related to the HITS executed for the benefit of the Holders of the HITS; 
 or (ii) make any payment of principal, interest or
premium, if any, on, or repay, repurchase or redeem, any debt security of the Company that ranks pari passu in all respects with or junior in interest to the Notes (except for partial payments of interest pursuant to the terms of the Notes);
or (iii) make any guarantee payments with respect to any guarantee by the Company of the debt securities of any subsidiary of the Company that by its terms ranks pari passu in all respects with or junior in interest to the Company’s
guarantee related to the HITS.

 REMEDIES 
 Section 3.1 Unconditional Right of the Property Trustee to Receive Contract Payments and to
Purchase Shares of Preferred Stock; Direct Action by Holders of Preferred HITS or Treasury HITS.

Trust shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, (i) subject to Article II, to receive each Contract Payment with respect to each Stock Purchase Contract on the respective Payment Date and (ii) except upon and following a
Termination Event, to purchase one share of Preferred Stock pursuant to such Stock Purchase Contract and, in each such case, to institute suit for the enforcement of any such right to receive Contract Payments and the right to purchase such share of
Preferred Stock, and such rights shall not be impaired without its consent. Up to and including the Stock Purchase Date, or the earlier termination of the Stock Purchase Contracts, any Holder shall have the right, upon default in the payment of any
Contract Payment with respect to any Stock Purchase Contract on the respective Payment Date (subject to Article II), to institute a suit directly against the Company for enforcement of payment to such Holder of Contract Payments on Stock Purchase
Contracts (or interests therein) having a stated amount equal to the aggregate Liquidation Amount (as defined in the Declaration) of the HITS held by such Holder, but without first directing the Property Trustee to enforce the terms of the Stock
Purchase Contracts or suing the Company to enforce the Property Trustee’s rights under the Stock Purchase Contracts. 
 Section 3.2 Restoration
of Rights and Remedies. 
 If the Property Trustee has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Agreement and
such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Property Trustee, then and in every such case, subject to any 

  

 17 

 
determination in such proceeding, the Company and the Property Trustee shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and
thereafter all rights and remedies of the Property Trustee shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 
 Section 3.3 Rights and
Remedies Cumulative. 
 No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Property Trustee is intended to be exclusive of any
other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or
employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
 Section 3.4 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 
 No delay or omission of the Property Trustee to exercise any right upon a
default or remedy upon a default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such right. Every right and remedy given by this Article III or by law to the Property Trustee may be exercised from time to time, and as often as
may be deemed expedient, by the Property Trustee. 
 Section 3.5 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. 
 The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or
take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Agreement; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so)
hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Property Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power
as though no such law had been enacted.

the Declaration, the Indenture (including any supplement thereto), the Guarantee Agreement and the Remarketing Agreement by one or more supplemental agreements in form reasonably satisfactory to the Property Trustee, executed and delivered to the
Property Trustee by such corporation; 
  

 18 

 (b) such successor corporation shall not, immediately after such consolidation, conversion, merger, sale,
assignment, transfer, lease or conveyance, be in default of payment obligations under the Stock Purchase Contracts, this Agreement, the Collateral Agreement, the Declaration or the Remarketing Agreement or in material default in the performance of
any other covenants under any of the foregoing agreements; and 
 (c) the successor entity shall have reserved sufficient authorized and
unissued shares of preferred stock having substantially the same terms and conditions as the Preferred Stock such that the Trust will receive, on the Stock Purchase Date, shares of preferred stock having substantially the same rights as the
Preferred Stock that the Trust would have received had such merger, consolidation or other transaction not occurred. 
 Section 4.2 Rights and Duties
of Successor Corporation. 
 In case of any such merger, consolidation, share exchange, sale, assignment, transfer, lease or conveyance
and upon any such assumption by a successor corporation in accordance with Section 4.1, such successor entity shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company with the same effect as if it had been named herein as the Company. 
 Section 4.3 Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel Given to Property Trustee. 
 The Property Trustee, subject to Section 4.1 and Section 4.2, shall receive an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as
conclusive evidence that any such merger, consolidation, share exchange, sale, assignment, transfer, lease or conveyance, and any such assumption, complies with the provisions of this Article IV and that all conditions precedent to the consummation
