that would have been assigned to the Notes as of the date of such change by such rating agency
pursuant to its current criteria.

5

 

such Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis
(assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Yield plus 0.50%. The
Special Event Make-Whole Redemption Price, calculated as provided herein, shall be calculated and
certified to the Trustee and the Company by an Independent Investment Banker.

     “Subordinated Notes due 2068” means the Company’s 7.034% Fixed/Floating Rate Junior
Subordinated Notes due 2068.

     “Subordinated Notes due 2066” means the Company’s 8.375% Fixed/Floating Rate Junior
Subordinated Notes due 2066.

     “Three-Month LIBOR Rate” means, for each Quarterly Interest Period during the Floating
Rate Period, the rate (expressed as a percentage per year) for deposits in U.S. dollars for a
three-month period that appears on Reuters Page LIBOR01 as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the
second London Banking Day (the “LIBOR Interest Determination Date”) immediately preceding
the first day of such Quarterly Interest Period (the “LIBOR Rate Reset Date”). If such rate
does not appear on such page for the purpose of displaying offered rates of leading banks for
London interbank deposits in U.S. dollars, the Three-Month LIBOR Rate will be determined on the
basis of the rates, at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on the LIBOR Interest Determination
Date, at which U.S. dollar deposits with a maturity of three months in an amount determined by the
Calculation Agent as representative of a single transaction in the relevant market and at the
relevant time are offered by four major banks in the London interbank market selected and certified
to the Calculation Agent by the Company (“Reference Banks”) to prime banks in the London
interbank market for the interest period commencing on the LIBOR Rate Reset Date. The Company will
request the principal London office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its
rate. If at least two quotations are provided as requested, the Three-Month LIBOR Rate will be the
arithmetic mean of the quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided as requested, the
Three-Month LIBOR Rate will be the interest rate per annum equal to the average of the rates per
annum quoted by three major banks in New York City selected and certified to the Calculation Agent
by the Company, at or about 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the LIBOR Interest Determination
Date, for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks in amounts that are representative of a
single transaction in the relevant market and at the relevant time with a maturity corresponding to
the interest period and commencing on the LIBOR Rate Reset Date. If fewer than three New York City
banks selected and certified to the Calculation Agent by the Company are quoting rates, the
Three-Month LIBOR Rate for the applicable interest period will be the same as for the immediately
preceding Quarterly Interest Period or, in the case of the Quarterly Interest Period beginning on
June 1, 2017, the interest rate on the Notes will be the same as for the most recent quarterly
period for which the Three-Month LIBOR Rate can be determined.

     “Treasury Yield” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal
to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity (computed as of the third Business Day immediately
preceding such Redemption Date) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the
Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the
applicable Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date.

     “Trustee” means the Person named as the “Trustee” in the preamble of this Eighteenth
Supplemental Indenture until a successor Person shall have become such pursuant to the applicable
provisions of the Indenture, and thereafter “Trustee” shall mean such successor Person.

     Section 1.2 Rules of Construction. In addition to the Rules of Construction under
Section 1.04 of the Base Indenture, the following provisions also shall be applied wherever
appropriate herein:

          (a) any references herein to a particular Section, Article, or Exhibit means a Section or
Article of, or an Exhibit to, this Eighteenth Supplemental Indenture unless otherwise expressly
stated herein; and

          (b) the Exhibits attached hereto are incorporated herein by reference and shall be considered
part of this Eighteenth Supplemental Indenture.

that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced
or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of Book-Entry
Notes to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, of Outstanding Notes
represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee in accordance with written instructions or such
other written form of instructions as is customary for the Depositary, from the Depositary or its
nominee on behalf of any Person having a beneficial interest in such Book-Entry Notes. The Company
initially appoints DTC to act as Depositary with respect to the Book-Entry Notes.

     Section 2.4 Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company initially appoints the Trustee as

     Section 2.5 Transfer and Exchange.

          (a) Rates.

     (i) Interest During the Fixed Rate Period. During the Fixed Rate Period, (A) the
outstanding principal amount of the Notes and (B) to the extent permitted by applicable law,
any Deferred Interest or overdue interest thereon, will bear interest at a per annum rate
equal to the Fixed Rate until the commencement of the Floating Rate Period or, if earlier,
until the principal thereof and all Interest thereon is paid, compounded semi-annually and
payable (subject to the provisions of Article IV) semi-annually, in arrears on each
Semi-Annual Interest Payment Date.

     (ii) Interest During the Floating Rate Period. During the Floating Rate Period, (A) the
outstanding principal amount of the Notes and (B) to the extent permitted by applicable law,
any Deferred Interest or overdue interest thereon will bear interest during each Quarterly
Interest Period at a per annum rate equal to the applicable Floating Rate for such period,
until the principal thereof and all Interest thereon is paid, compounded quarterly and
payable (subject to the provisions of Article IV) quarterly in

7

 

arrears on each Quarterly Interest Payment Date. The Calculation Agent will calculate the Floating Rate with respect
to each Floating Rate Period and the amount of Interest payable on each Quarterly Interest
Payment Date as promptly as practicable according to the appropriate method described
herein. Promptly upon such determination, the Calculation Agent will notify the Company and
the Trustee of the Floating Rate for the Floating Rate Period and the amount of Interest
payable to each Holder on each Quarterly Interest Payment Date. The Floating Rate determined
by the Calculation Agent, absent manifest error, will be binding and conclusive upon the
beneficial owners and Holders of the Notes, the Company and the Trustee.

          (b) Payment of Interest to Record Holders of the Notes. Payments of principal of,
premium, if any, and Interest due on the Notes representing Book-Entry Notes on any Interest
Payment Date, upon redemption or at maturity will be made available to the Trustee by 11:00 a.m.,
New York City time, on the applicable maturity date, Redemption Date, or Interest Payment Date,
unless such date falls on a day which is not a Business Day, in which case such payments will be
made available to the Trustee by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next succeeding Business
Day; provided, however, that, during the Floating Rate Period, if such next
succeeding Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, then such payments will be
made available to the Trustee by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately preceding
Business Day. As soon as possible thereafter, the Trustee will make such payments to the
Depositary. Other than in connection with the maturity or redemption of the Notes or in connection
with payment of Defaulted Interest, Interest on the Notes may be paid only on an Interest Payment
Date. Payments of principal of, premium, if any, and Interest due on Notes other than Book-Entry
Notes on any Interest Payment Date, upon redemption or at maturity will be made in accordance with
Article II of the Base Indenture. The regular record date for Interest payable on the Notes on any
Interest Payment Date during the Fixed Rate Period shall be the May 15 or November 15, as the case
may be, immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date and during the Floating Rate Period shall
be the February 15, May 15, August 15 or November 15, as the case may be, immediately preceding such
Interest Payment Date.

          (c) The amount of Interest payable on any Interest Payment Date during the Fixed Rate Period
will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The amount of
Interest payable on any Interest Payment Date during the Floating Rate Period will be computed on
the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed.

          (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, Interest not paid when due hereunder,
including, without limitation, all Deferred Interest and overdue Interest, shall in accordance with
Section 2.6(a), until paid, compound (i) semi-annually at the Fixed Rate on each Semi-Annual
Interest Payment Date during the Fixed Rate Period and (ii) quarterly at the applicable Floating
Rate on each Quarterly Interest Payment Date during the Floating Rate Period.

          (e) If the Company shall make a partial payment of Interest on any Interest Payment Date, such
payment shall, with respect to the Notes, be applied, first, to Deferred Interest until all such
Deferred Interest has been paid and, second, to any Current Interest.

          (f) To the extent that the provisions of this Section 2.6 are inconsistent with the provisions
of Article II of the Base Indenture, the provisions of this Section 2.6 shall control.

ARTICLE III

REDEMPTION OF THE NOTES

     Section 3.1 Optional Redemption. Subject to the provisions of Article III of the Base
Indenture, the Company shall have the option to redeem the Notes for cash:

          (a) in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time prior to June 1, 2017, at the
Make-Whole Redemption Price;

8

 

          (b) after the occurrence of a Special Event, in whole but not in part, at any time prior to
June 1, 2017, at the Special Event Make-Whole Redemption Price; and

          (c) in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time on or after June 1, 2017, at the
Optional Redemption Price.

     Section 3.2 Certain Redemption Procedures. Notes called for optional redemption shall
become due on the Redemption Date. Notices of optional redemption will be mailed at least 30 days
but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed at
its registered address. The notice of optional redemption for the Notes will state, among other
things, the amount of Notes to be redeemed, the Redemption Date, the method of calculating such
Redemption Price, and the place(s) that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of
Notes to be redeemed. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price or the paying
agent is prohibited from making such payment pursuant to the terms of Article XII of the Base
Indenture, interest will cease to accrue on the Redemption Date with respect to any Notes that have
been called for optional redemption. If less than all the Notes are redeemed at any time, the
Trustee will select the Notes to be redeemed on a pro rata basis or by any other method the Trustee
deems fair and appropriate. The Company may not redeem the Notes in part if the principal amount of
the Notes has been accelerated and such acceleration has not been rescinded unless all accrued and
unpaid Interest (including Deferred Interest) has been paid in full on all outstanding Notes for
all Interest Periods terminating on or before the Redemption Date.

     The Notes may be redeemed in part only in principal amounts that are integral multiples of $1,000.

     Section 3.3 No Sinking Fund. The Notes will not be entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.

ARTICLE IV

Notes, to elect to defer payment of all or any portion of any Current Interest and/or Deferred
Interest otherwise due on the Notes on any Interest Payment Date (“Optional Deferral”);
provided, however, that the Company may not (i) elect to defer payment of any
Interest otherwise due on any Interest Payment Date if, as a result of such deferral, the Company
shall have deferred payment of some or all of the Interest due on a number of consecutive Interest
Payment Dates with respect to a number of consecutive Interest Periods which, when taken together
as a single period, would equal or exceed ten (10) consecutive years, or (ii) elect to defer
payment of any Interest due on the maturity date of the Notes, or, with respect to any Notes being
redeemed, on the Redemption Date for such Notes. No Interest on the Notes shall be due and payable
on any Interest Payment Date during an Optional Deferral Period; however, Interest shall accrue on
the Notes during such period in accordance with Sections 2.6(a) and 2.6(d).

          (b) Following the termination of an Optional Deferral Period and the payment of all Deferred
Interest accrued during such Optional Deferral Period, the Company may again elect pursuant to
Section 4.1(a) to make an Optional Deferral of Interest.

          (c) On the Interest Payment Date on which the Company desires to terminate an Optional
Deferral Period or at the end of an Optional Deferral Period pursuant to clause (b) of the
definition of “Optional Deferral Period,” the Company shall pay all Deferred Interest and
Current Interest due on such Interest Payment Date. Such Interest shall be payable to the Holders
of the Notes in whose names the Notes are registered in the Debt Security Register for the Notes on
the record date with respect to such Interest Payment Date.

     Section 4.2 Notice of Deferrals.

          (a) The Company shall give written notice to the Trustee of any election of Optional Deferral
pursuant to Section 4.1 not fewer than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) Business Days prior to the

Optional Deferral in the circumstances described in Section 4.2(b). The Trustee shall forward such
written notice promptly to each Holder of the Notes.

          (b) In the case of an election of Optional Deferral pursuant to Section 4.1 when the Company
or the Parent Guarantor would be prohibited pursuant to Section 12.03 of the Base Indenture from
paying Interest on the Notes, the Company shall give written notice to the Trustee of such election
of Optional Deferral not later than the time monies in respect of the Interest payment on the
applicable Interest Payment Date must be made available to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.6(b)
hereof. The Trustee shall forward such written notice promptly to each Holder of the Notes.

ARTICLE V

CERTAIN COVENANTS

     Section 5.1 Covenants in Indenture. Holders of the Notes shall not have the benefit of
and shall not be entitled to enforce the covenants contained in Sections 4.12 and 4.13 of the Base
Indenture.

     Section 5.2 Restricted Payments.

          (a) Subject to Section 5.2(b), during any Optional Deferral Period, (i) the Company and the
Parent Guarantor will not declare or make any distributions with respect to, or redeem, purchase,
or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of their respective equity securities and (ii)
the Company and the Parent Guarantor will not, and will cause their respective Subsidiaries not to
(A) make any payment of interest, principal, or
premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase, or redeem any of the Company’s or the Parent
Guarantor’s debt securities (including securities similar to the Notes) that contractually rank
equally with or junior to the Notes or the Guarantee, respectively, or (B) make any payment under a
guarantee of the Company’s or the Parent Guarantor’s debt securities (including under a guarantee
of debt securities that are similar to the Notes) that contractually ranks equally with or junior
to the Notes or the Guarantee, respectively.

          (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.2(a), the Company, the Parent Guarantor and
any of their respective Subsidiaries may take any of the following actions at any time, including
during an Optional Deferral Period: (i) make any purchase, redemption or other acquisition of any
equity securities in connection with any employment contract, benefit plan or other similar
arrangement with or for the benefit of employees, officers, directors, or agents, or a securities
purchase or dividend or distribution reinvestment plan, or the satisfaction of obligations pursuant
to any contract or security outstanding on the date that the Optional Deferral Period commences
requiring the purchase, redemption or acquisition of such equity securities; (ii) make any payment,
repayment, redemption, purchase, acquisition or declaration of a distribution as a result of a
reclassification of any of their respective equity securities or the exchange or conversion of all
or a portion of one class or series of such equity securities for another class or series of such
equity securities; (iii) purchase fractional interests in any of their respective equity securities
pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such securities or the security being
converted or exchanged, in connection with the settlement of stock purchase contracts or in
connection with any split, reclassification or similar transaction; (iv) make a distribution paid
or made in any of their respective equity securities (or rights to acquire such equity securities),
or a repurchase, redemption or acquisition of such equity securities in connection with the
issuance or exchange of such equity securities (or of securities convertible into or exchangeable
for such equity securities) and distributions in connection with the settlement of securities
purchase contracts outstanding on the date that the Optional Deferral Period commences; (v) make
any redemption, exchange or repurchase of, or with respect to, any rights outstanding under a
rights plan or the declaration or payment thereunder of a distribution of or with respect to rights
in the future; (vi) make any payments under (A) the Notes and under securities similar to the Notes
(including trust preferred securities) that are (or, in the case of a trust preferred security, the
underlying debt obligation is) pari passu with the Notes and (B) the Guarantee and similar
guarantees associated with any instruments that are (or, in the case of a trust preferred security,
the underlying debt obligation is) pari passu with the Notes, in each case, so long as any such
payments are made on a pro rata basis with the Notes and the Guarantee, respectively; or (vii) make
any regularly scheduled dividend or distribution payments declared prior to the date that the
Optional Deferral Period commences.

10

 

          (c) Whether another security is similar to the Notes and whether another guarantee is similar
to the Guarantee for purposes of Section 5.2(b)(vi) shall be determined by the Company in its
reasonable discretion. For purposes of Section 5.2(b)(vi), the Subordinated Notes due 2066 and the
Subordinated Notes due 2068 are similar to the Notes and the Parent Guarantor’s guarantees of the
Subordinated Notes due 2066 and the Subordinated Notes due 2068 are similar to the Guarantee. For
purposes of Section 5.2(b)(iv) of the Amended and Restated Eighth Supplemental Indenture dated as
of August 25, 2006 and Section 5.2(b)(iv) of the Ninth Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 24,
2007, the Notes are similar to the Subordinated Notes due 2066 and the Subordinated Notes due 2068,
respectively, and the Guarantee is similar to the Parent Guarantor’s guarantees of the Subordinated
Notes due 2066 and the Subordinated Notes due 2068.

          (d) For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall prevent the Company or the
Parent Guarantor from issuing any other securities, whether senior to, pari passu with or
subordinated to the Notes, including securities having covenants and provisions the same as or
similar to those applicable to the Notes, or any guarantees with respect thereto.

ARTICLE VI

Supplemental Indenture) of the Company on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in
Article XII of the Base Indenture, and each Holder of Notes issued hereunder by such Holder’s
acceptance thereof acknowledges and agrees that all Notes shall be issued subject to the provisions
of this Article VI and such Article XII and that each Holder of Notes, whether upon original
issuance or upon transfer or assignment thereof, accepts and agrees to be bound by such provisions.
The Notes shall be “Subordinated Debt Securities” as such term is used in the Indenture,
and, for purposes of the Notes only, and not for purposes of any other Debt Securities, all
references in the Indenture to Senior Indebtedness of the Company shall mean Senior Indebtedness of
the Company as defined in this Eighteenth Supplemental Indenture.

          (b) The Notes shall be equal in rank and right of payment in all respects and are pari passu
with the Subordinated Notes due 2066 and the Subordinated Notes due 2068.

     Section 6.2 Amendment and Restatement of Section 12.02 of the Base Indenture. For
purposes of the Notes only, and not for purposes of any other Debt Securities, Section 12.02 of the
Base Indenture is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

     Section 12.02 Liquidation, Dissolution, Bankruptcy. Upon any payment or distribution
of the assets of the Company to creditors upon a total or partial liquidation or a total or partial
dissolution of the Company or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar
proceeding relating to the Company or its property:

          (a) holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company shall be entitled to receive payment in full
in cash of such Senior Indebtedness (including interest (if any), accruing on or after the
commencement of a proceeding in bankruptcy, whether or not allowed as a claim against the Company
in such bankruptcy proceeding) before Holders of Subordinated Debt Securities of the Company shall
be entitled to receive any payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the
Subordinated Debt Securities; and

          (b) until the Senior Indebtedness of the Company is paid in full, any such distribution to
which Holders of Subordinated Debt Securities would be entitled but for this Article XII shall be
made to holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company as their interests may appear, except that
such Holders may receive securities representing equity interests of the Company and any debt
securities of the Company that are subordinated to Senior Indebtedness of the Company to at least
the same extent as the Subordinated Debt Securities of the Company.

11

 

     Upon any payment or distribution of the assets of any Guarantor to creditors upon a total or
partial liquidation or a total or partial dissolution of such Guarantor or in a bankruptcy,
reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to such Guarantor or its
property:

          (a) holders of Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor shall be entitled to receive payment in
full in cash of such Senior Indebtedness (including interest (if any), accruing on or after the
commencement of a proceeding in bankruptcy, whether or not allowed as a claim against such
Guarantor in such bankruptcy proceeding) before Holders of Subordinated Debt Securities shall be
entitled to receive, under such Guarantor’s guarantee of such Subordinated Debt Securities, any
payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Subordinated Debt Securities; and

          (b) until the Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor is paid in full, any such distribution to
which Holders of Subordinated Debt Securities would be entitled under such Guarantor’s guarantee
but for this Article XII shall be made to holders of Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor as their
interests may appear, except that such Holders may receive securities representing equity interests
of such Guarantor and any debt securities of such Guarantor that are subordinated to Senior
Indebtedness of such Guarantor to at least the same extent as the guarantee of the Subordinated
Debt Securities of such Guarantor.

     Section 6.3 Amendment and Restatement of Section 12.03 of the Base Indenture. For purposes of the Notes only, and not for purposes of any other Debt Securities, Section
12.03 of the Base Indenture is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

     Section 12.03 Default on Senior Indebtedness. The Company may not pay the principal
of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Subordinated Debt Securities or make any deposit
pursuant to Article XI and may not repurchase, redeem or otherwise retire any Subordinated Debt
Securities (collectively, “pay the Subordinated Debt Securities”) if (a) any principal, premium or
interest in respect of Senior Indebtedness of the Company is not paid when due, including any
applicable grace period (including at maturity) or (b) any other default on Senior Indebtedness of
the Company occurs and the maturity of such Senior Indebtedness is accelerated in accordance with
its terms unless, in either case, the default has been cured or waived and any such acceleration
has been rescinded or such Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full in cash; provided,
however, that the Company may pay the Subordinated Debt Securities without regard to the
foregoing if the Company and the Trustee receive written notice approving such payment from the
Representative of each issue of Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Company. During the
continuance of any default (other than a default described in clause (a) or (b) of the preceding
sentence) with respect to any Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Company pursuant to which the
maturity thereof may be accelerated immediately without further notice (except such notice as may
be required to effect such acceleration) or the expiration of any applicable grace periods, the
Company may not pay the Subordinated Debt Securities for a period (a “Payment Blockage
Period”) commencing upon the receipt by the Company and the Trustee of written notice of such
default from the Representative of any Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Company specifying an
election to effect a Payment Blockage Period (a “Blockage Notice”) and ending 179 days
thereafter (or earlier if such Payment Blockage Period is terminated by written notice to the
Trustee and the Company from the Person or Persons who gave such Blockage Notice, by repayment in
full in cash of such Designated Senior Indebtedness or because the default giving rise to such
Blockage Notice is no longer continuing). Notwithstanding the provisions described in the
immediately preceding sentence (but subject to the provisions contained in the first sentence of
this Section 12.03), unless the holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness or the
Representative of such holders shall have accelerated the maturity of such Designated Senior
Indebtedness, the Company may resume payments on the Subordinated Debt Securities after such
Payment Blockage Period. Not more than one Blockage Notice may be given in any consecutive 360-day
period, irrespective of the number of defaults with respect to any number of issues of Designated
Senior Indebtedness during such period, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.03 for the
Subordinated Debt Securities of a series; provided, however, that in no event may
the total number of days during which any Payment Blockage Period or Periods is in effect exceed
179 days in the aggregate during any 360 consecutive day period. For purposes of this Section
12.03, no default or event of default which existed or was continuing on the date of the
commencement of any Payment Blockage Period with respect to the Designated Senior Indebtedness of
the Company initiating such Payment Blockage Period shall be, or be made, the basis of the
commencement of a subsequent Payment Blockage Period by the Representative of such Designated
Senior Indebtedness, whether or not within a period of 360 consecutive days, unless such default or
event of default shall have been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days.

12

 

     No Guarantor may make a payment or distribution in respect of its guarantee of any
Subordinated Debt Securities (“make a guarantee payment on Subordinated Debt Securities”) if (a)
any principal, premium or interest in respect of Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor is not paid
when due, including any applicable grace period (including at maturity) or (b) any other default on
Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor occurs and the maturity of such Senior Indebtedness is
accelerated in accordance with its terms unless, in either case, the default has been cured or
waived and any such acceleration has been rescinded or such Senior Indebtedness has been paid in
full in cash; provided, however, that such Guarantor may make a guarantee payment
on the Subordinated Debt Securities without regard to the foregoing if such Guarantor and the
Trustee receive written notice approving such payment from the Representative of each issue of
Designated Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor. During the continuance of any default (other than
a default described in clause (a) or (b) of the preceding sentence) with respect to any Designated
Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor pursuant to which the maturity thereof may be accelerated
immediately without further notice (except such notice as may be required to effect such
acceleration) or the expiration of any applicable grace periods, such Guarantor may not make a
guarantee payment on Subordinated Debt Securities for a period (a “Payment Blockage
Period”) commencing upon the receipt by such Guarantor and the Trustee of written notice of
such default from the Representative of any Designated Senior Indebtedness specifying an election
to effect a Payment Blockage Period (a “Blockage Notice”) and ending 179 days thereafter
(or earlier if such Payment Blockage Period is terminated by written notice to the Trustee and such
Guarantor from the Person or Persons who gave such Blockage Notice, by repayment in full in cash of
such Designated Senior Indebtedness or because the
default giving rise to such Blockage Notice is no longer continuing). Notwithstanding the
provisions described in the immediately preceding sentence (but subject to the provisions contained
in the first sentence of this paragraph of this Section 12.03), unless the holders of such
Designated Senior Indebtedness or the Representative of such holders shall have accelerated the
maturity of such Designated Senior Indebtedness, such Guarantor may resume payments under its
guarantee of any Subordinated Debt Securities after such Payment Blockage Period. Not more than one
Blockage Notice may be given in any consecutive 360-day period, irrespective of the number of
defaults with respect to any number of issues of Designated Senior Indebtedness during such period,
unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.03 for the Subordinated Debt Securities of a
series; provided, however, that in no event may the total number of days during
which any Payment Blockage Period or Periods is in effect exceed 179 days in the aggregate during
any 360 consecutive day period. For purposes of this Section 12.03, no default or event of default
which existed or was continuing on the date of the commencement of any Payment Blockage Period with
respect to the Designated Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor initiating such Payment Blockage
Period shall be, or be made, the basis of the commencement of a subsequent Payment Blockage Period
by the Representative of such Designated Senior Indebtedness, whether or not within a period of 360
consecutive days, unless such default or event of default shall have been cured or waived for a
period of not less than 90 consecutive days.

to the benefits of the Guarantee of the Parent Guarantor. Initially, there shall be no Subsidiary

same manner as the Guarantee of the Parent Guarantor.

     Section 7.2 Ranking of the Guarantee.

          (a) The obligations of the Parent Guarantor under the Guarantee shall be subordinated to all
Senior Indebtedness (as defined in this Eighteenth Supplemental Indenture) of the Parent Guarantor

Holder of the Notes issued hereunder by such Holder’s acceptance thereof, acknowledges and agrees
that the Guarantee shall be issued subject to the provisions of this Section 7.2 and such Article
XII and that each Holder of Notes, whether upon original issuance or upon transfer or assignment
thereof, accepts and agrees to be bound by such provisions. The Guarantee of the Parent Guarantor
is a Guarantee of Subordinated Debt Securities, and, for purposes of the Notes only, and not for
purposes of any other Debt Securities, all references in the Indenture to Senior Indebtedness of
the Parent

13

 

Guarantor shall mean Senior Indebtedness, as defined in this Eighteenth Supplemental
Indenture, of the Parent Guarantor.

          (b) The Parent Guarantor’s obligation under the Guarantee shall be equal in rank and right of
payment in all respects and is pari passu with the Parent Guarantor’s guarantees of the
Subordinated Notes due 2066 and the Subordinated Notes due 2068.

ARTICLE VIII

APPLICABILITY OF DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

     Section 8.1 Applicability of Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance. The Notes will be
subject to satisfaction, defeasance and discharge pursuant to Article XI of the Base Indenture in
accordance with the provisions of such Article; provided that for purposes of the Notes
only, and not
for purposes of any other Debt Securities, (i) references in Section 11.02(b) of the Base
Indenture to Sections 6.01(d), (g) and (h) of the Base Indenture shall be deemed to be references
only to Section 6.01(d) of the Base Indenture, and that references in Section 11.02(b) of the Base
Indenture to Sections 6.01(e) and (f) of the Base Indenture shall not apply.

AND HOLDERS OF NOTES

     Section 9.1 Amendment and Restatement of Section 6.01 of the Base Indenture. For
purposes of the Notes only, and not for purposes of any other Debt Securities, Section 6.01 of the
Base Indenture is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

     Section 6.01 Events of Default. If any one or more of the following shall have
occurred and be continuing with respect to the Notes (each of the following an “Event of
Default”):

          (a) failure to pay principal on the Notes when due;

          (b) failure to pay Interest on the Notes when due and such default continues for thirty (30)

Eighteenth Supplemental Indenture is not a default in payment of Interest on the Notes);

          (c) the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event with respect to the Company; or

          (d) the Guarantee ceases to be in full force and effect or is declared null and void in a
judicial proceeding;

then, and in each and every case that an Event of Default described in clause (a), (b), and (d)
with respect to the Notes at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, unless the principal
of, premium, if any, and Interest on all the Notes shall have already become due and payable,
either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes
then Outstanding hereunder, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by
Holders), may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare the principal of,
premium, if any, and Interest on all the Notes to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such
declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, anything in the Notes,
this Indenture or in the Eighteenth Supplemental Indenture contained to the contrary
notwithstanding. If an Event of Default described in clause (c) occurs, then and in each and every
such case, unless the principal of, premium, if any, and Interest on all the Notes shall have
become due and payable, the principal of, premium, if any, and Interest on all the Notes then
Outstanding hereunder shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any
declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders, anything in the Notes, this
Indenture or in the Eighteenth Supplemental Indenture contained to the contrary notwithstanding.

     The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding by
written notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration and annul its consequences if the
rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction
already rendered and if all existing Events of Default with respect to the Notes have been cured or
waived except nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or Interest that has become due solely
because of acceleration. Upon any such rescission, the parties hereto shall be restored
respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies, and powers
of the parties hereto shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken.

     Section 9.2 Conforming Amendments. The reference in the last paragraph of Section 7.06
to Section 6.01(e) or (f) of the Base Indenture shall be deemed to refer only to Section 6.01(c) of
the Base Indenture.

ARTICLE X

MISCELLANEOUS

supplemented by this Eighteenth Supplemental Indenture, is in all respects ratified and confirmed,

     Section 10.2 No Recourse. No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant, or
agreement contained in this Eighteenth Supplemental Indenture or the Base Indenture or for any

of, or any Person which owns an interest directly or indirectly in, the Company, the Parent
Guarantor or such sole manager of the Company or general partner or (b) against any past, present,

law, statute, or constitutional provision or otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived
and released by the execution hereof by the Trustee and as part of the consideration for the
issuance of the Notes.

(a) that such Holder has acquired Notes in reliance upon the separateness of the Company, the sole
manager of the Company and the Parent Guarantor from one another and from any other Persons,

Parent Guarantor have assets and liabilities that are separate from those of one another and from

owing under the Notes have not been guaranteed by any Person, other than the Parent Guarantor and
only to the extent explicitly set forth herein, and (d) that, except in respect of the Parent
Guarantor and as other Persons may expressly assume or guarantee any of the Notes or obligations
thereunder, the Holders of the Notes shall look solely to the Company and its property and assets
for the payment of any amounts payable pursuant to the Notes and for satisfaction of any
obligations owing to the Holders of the Notes.

     Section 10.4 Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals. The recitals herein contained are

correctness thereof. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this

     Section 10.6 Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence in performance of the
obligations under this Eighteenth Supplemental Indenture.

     Section 10.7 Separability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Eighteenth Supplemental

any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions
of this Eighteenth

15

 

Supplemental Indenture or of the Notes, but this Eighteenth Supplemental
Indenture and the Notes shall be construed as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision
had never been contained herein or therein.

     Section 10.8 Treatment of the Notes. By its acceptance of the Notes, each Holder and
beneficial owner of the Notes agrees to treat the Notes as indebtedness for all United States
federal, state and local tax purposes.

     Section 10.9 Counterparts. This Eighteenth Supplemental Indenture may be executed in
any number of counterparts each of which shall be an original, but such counterparts shall together
constitute but one and the same instrument.

     Section 10.10 Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture or
this Eighteenth Supplemental Indenture to the contrary, each Holder and beneficial owner of the
Notes hereby authorizes the Company, if required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
or by any other applicable legal requirement, to withhold any required amount from the amounts
payable by the Company hereunder to any Holder and/or beneficial owner of the Notes for payment to
the appropriate taxing authority. Any amount so withheld from such Person will be treated as a
payment by the Company to such Person, except as otherwise provided below. Each such Person agrees
to file timely any agreement that is required by any taxing authority in order to avoid any
withholding obligation that would otherwise be imposed on the Company. If the amount required to be
withheld with respect to such Person exceeds the amount payable to such Person, such excess will be
treated as a demand loan to such Person, payable within ten (10) days after such time that the
Company makes payment to the appropriate taxing authority and demand is made on such Person to pay
same.

[REVERSE OF SECURITY]

ENTERPRISE PRODUCTS OPERATING LLC

7.000% FIXED/FLOATING RATE JUNIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES DUE 2067

     The Notes are one of a duly authorized issue of Debt Securities of the Company issued under
and pursuant to the Indenture, to which Indenture reference is hereby made for a description of the
rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties, and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the
Company, the Parent Guarantor and the Holders of the Debt Securities. The Debt Securities may be
issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal
amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest (if any) at different rates, may be
subject to different sinking, purchase or analogous funds (if any) and may otherwise vary as
provided in the Indenture. The Notes are of a series designated as the 7.000% Fixed/Floating Rate
Junior Subordinated Notes due 2067 of the Company (the “Notes”).

1. Interest.

     During the Fixed Rate Period, the outstanding principal amount hereof and (to the extent that
payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) any Deferred Interest or overdue
installment of Interest hereon will bear interest at the per annum rate of 7.000% payable (subject
to the provisions of the Indenture relating to Interest deferrals more fully described below)
semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year commencing on December 1, 2009,
compounded semi-annually through the end of the Fixed Rate Period. During the Floating Rate Period,
the outstanding principal amount hereof and (to the extent that payment of such interest is
enforceable under applicable law) any Deferred Interest or overdue installment of Interest hereon
will bear interest during each Quarterly Interest Period at the applicable Floating Rate for such
Quarterly Interest Period calculated pursuant to the Indenture, payable (subject to the provisions
of the Indenture relating to Interest deferrals more fully described below) quarterly in arrears on
each March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1, commencing September 1, 2017, compounded
quarterly at such prevailing Floating Rate through the end of the Floating Rate Period.

     During the Fixed Rate Period, the amount of Interest payable on any Interest Payment Date will
be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. During the Floating Rate
Period, the amount of any Interest payable on any Interest Payment Date will be computed on the
basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. In the event that any date on which
Interest is payable on this Note is not a Business Day, then a payment of the Interest payable on
such date will, subject to certain exceptions described in the Eighteenth Supplemental Indenture,
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), with the same force and effect as if made on the date the
payment was originally payable.

2. Optional Deferral of Interest.

     Subject to the terms of the Indenture, the Company shall have the right, at any time and from
time to time during the term of the Notes, to elect to defer payment of all or any portion of any
Current Interest and/or Deferred Interest otherwise due on the Notes on any Interest Payment Date.
No Interest on the Notes shall be due and payable on any Interest Payment Date during an Optional
Deferral Period; however, Interest shall accrue on the Notes during such period in accordance with
the Eighteenth Supplemental Indenture.

3. Method of Payment.

     The Company shall pay interest on the Notes (except Defaulted Interest) to the persons who are
the registered Holders at the close of business on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding
the Interest Payment Date. The Company shall pay principal, premium, if any, and interest in such
coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender
for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of a Global Security (including
principal, premium, if any, and interest) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to the accounts specified by the Depositary. Payments in respect of Notes in definitive

A-4

 

form (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) will be made at the office or agency
of the Company maintained for such purpose within The City of New York, which initially will be the
corporate trust office of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association at 45 Broadway, 14th Floor, New
York, New York 10006, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check
mailed to the Holders on the relevant record date at their addresses set forth in the Debt Security
Register of Holders or at the option of the Holder, payment of interest on Notes in definitive form
will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to any account maintained in the
United States, provided such Holder has requested such method of payment and provided timely wire
transfer instructions to the paying agent. The Holder must surrender these Notes to a paying agent
to collect payment of principal.

4. Paying Agent and Registrar.

     Initially, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association will act as paying agent and Registrar. The
Company may change any paying agent or Registrar at any time upon notice to the Trustee and the
Holders. The Company may act as paying agent.

5. Indenture.

     The Notes are one of a duly authorized issue of Debt Securities of the Company issued and to
be issued in one or more series under the Indenture.

     The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture, those made part of the Indenture
by reference to the TIA, as in effect on the date of the Base Indenture (October 4, 2004), and
those terms stated in the Eighteenth Supplemental Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such
terms, and Holders of Securities are referred to the Indenture, the Eighteenth Supplemental
Indenture and the TIA for a statement of them. The Notes are junior subordinated obligations of the
Company and are not secured by any of the assets of the Company.

6. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange.

     The Notes are to be issued in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and
integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may register the transfer of, or exchange,
Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to
furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by
law or permitted by the Indenture.

7. Person Deemed Owners.

     The registered Holder of Notes may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

8. Amendment; Supplement; Waiver.

     Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture may be amended or supplemented, and any existing
Event of Default or compliance with any provision may be waived, with the consent of the Holders of
a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes. Without consent of any Holder of Notes,
the parties thereto may amend or supplement the Indenture to, among other things, cure any
ambiguity or omission, to correct any defect or inconsistency, or to make any other change that
does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of Notes. Any such consent or waiver by the
Holder of these Notes (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding
upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of these Notes and any Notes which may be
issued in exchange or substitution herefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation thereof is
made upon these Notes or such other Notes.

9. Defaults and Remedies.

     Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency respecting the Company are Events of Default that
will result in the principal amount of the Notes, together with premium, if any, and Interest
thereon, becoming due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of such Events of Default. If any
other Event of Default with respect to the Notes

A-5

 

occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than
25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding may declare the principal amount of
all the Notes, together with premium, if any, and Interest thereon, to be due and payable
immediately in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. Notwithstanding the
preceding sentence, at any time after such a declaration of acceleration has been made, the Holders
of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Trustee, may
rescind such declaration and annul its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any
judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction already rendered and if all Events of
Default with respect to the Notes, other than the nonpayment of the principal, premium, if any, or
Interest which has become due solely by such declaration acceleration, shall have been cured or
shall have been waived. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or shall impair any
right consequent thereon. Holders of Notes may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as
provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require reasonable indemnity or security before it
enforces the Indenture or the Notes. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of
any trust or power.

10. Trustee Dealings with Company.

     The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to,
accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates or any subsidiary of
the Company’s Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates as if it were
not the Trustee.

11. Authentication.

     These Notes shall not be valid until the Trustee signs the certificate of authentication on
the other side of these Notes.

12. Abbreviations and Defined Terms.

     Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder of Notes or an assignee, such as:
TEN COM (tenant in common), TEN ENT (tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (joint tenants with right
of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (Custodian), and U/G/M/A (Uniform Gifts to
Minors Act).

13. CUSIP Numbers.

     Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Note Identification
Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes as a convenience to the
Holders of the Notes. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such number as printed on the
Notes and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed hereon.

14. Absolute Obligation.

     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of the Notes or the Indenture shall
alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on these Notes in the manner, at the respective times,
at the rate and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.

15. No Recourse.

     The general partner of the Parent Guarantor and its directors, officers, employees, and
members, as such, shall have no liability for any obligations of any Guarantor or the Company under
the Notes, the Indenture, or any Guarantee or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason
of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting the Notes waives and releases all
such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.

A-6

 

16. Ranking.

     The Notes rank junior and subordinate in rank and priority of payment to all of the Company’s
Senior Indebtedness as more fully provided in Article XII of the Base Indenture and Article VI of
the Eighteenth Supplemental Indenture. The Notes are equal in rank and right of payment in all
respects and are pari passu with the Company’s 8.375% Fixed/Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Notes
due 2066 and 7.034% Fixed/Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Notes due 2068.

17. Optional Redemption.

     The Notes are subject to redemption prior to maturity at the redemption price and in the
manner provided in the Indenture and the Eighteenth Supplemental Indenture.

18. Governing Law.

     The Notes shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New
York.

19. Guarantee.

     Subject to Article XII of the Base Indenture and Articles VI and VII of the Eighteenth
Supplemental Indenture, the Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured basis by
the Parent Guarantor. The Parent Guarantor’s obligations under the Guarantee rank junior and
subordinate in rank and priority of payment to all of the Parent Guarantor’s Senior Indebtedness.
The Parent Guarantor’s obligation under the Guarantee is equal in rank and right of payment in all
respects and is pari passu with the Parent Guarantor’s guarantees of the Company’s 8.375%
Fixed/Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Notes due 2066 and 7.034% Fixed/Floating Rate Junior
Subordinated Notes due 2068.

20. Reliance.

     The Holder, by accepting these Notes, acknowledges (a) that such Holder has acquired Notes in
reliance upon the separateness of the Company, the sole manager of the Company and the Parent
Guarantor from one another and from any other Persons, including any Affiliates thereof, (b) that
the Company, the sole manager of the Company and the Parent Guarantor have assets and liabilities
that are separate from those of one another and from those of other persons, including any
Affiliates thereof, (c) that the Notes and other obligations owing under the Notes have not been
guaranteed by any Person, other than the Parent Guarantor and only to the extent explicitly set
forth herein, and (d) that, except in respect of the Parent Guarantor and as other Persons may
expressly assume or guarantee any of the Notes or obligations thereunder, the Holder shall look
solely to the Company and its property and assets for the payment of any amounts payable pursuant
to the Notes and for satisfaction of any obligations owing to the Holder.

A-7

 

NOTATION OF GUARANTEE

     Subject to Article XII of the Base Indenture and Articles VI and VII of the Eighteenth
Supplemental Indenture, the Parent Guarantor (which term includes any successor Person under the
Indenture), has fully, unconditionally and absolutely guaranteed, to the extent set forth in the
Indenture and subject to the provisions in the Indenture, the due and punctual payment of the
principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and all other amounts due and payable
(subject to the right of the Company to defer Interest payments on the terms and conditions set
forth in Section 4.1 of the Eighteenth Supplemental Indenture) under the Indenture by the Company.
The Parent Guarantor’s obligations under such guarantee rank junior and subordinate in rank and
priority of payment to all of the Parent Guarantor’s Senior Indebtedness and constitute a guarantee

     The obligations of the Parent Guarantor to the Holders of Securities and to the Trustee
pursuant to its Guarantee and the Indenture are expressly set forth in Article XIV of the Base
Indenture, and are subject to the provisions of Article XII of the Base Indenture and Section 7.2

Exhibit 4.9

     Replacement Capital Covenant, dated as of October 27, 2009 (this “Replacement Capital
Covenant”), by and among Enterprise Products Operating LLC, a Texas limited liability company
(together with its successors and assigns, the “Company”), and Enterprise Products Partners
L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (together with its successors and assigns, the
“Guarantor” and, together with the Company and the respective Subsidiaries of the Company
and the Guarantor, the “Company Group”), in favor of and for the benefit of each Covered
Debtholder (as defined below).

Recitals

     A. On the date hereof, the Company is issuing $285,759,000 aggregate principal amount of its
7.000% Fixed/Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Notes due 2067 (the “Subordinated Notes”),
which Subordinated Notes were issued pursuant to, and fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the
Guarantor in accordance with, the Subordinated Indenture, dated as of October 4, 2004, as
supplemented by the Tenth Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 30, 2007 and the Eighteenth
Supplemental Indenture dated as of October 27, 2009 (together, the “Subordinated
Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantor, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as
trustee.

     B. This Replacement Capital Covenant is the “Replacement Capital Covenant” referred to
in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333-162091) of the Company and the
Guarantor declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 7, 2009.

     C. The Company and the Guarantor, in entering into and disclosing the content of this
Replacement Capital Covenant in the manner provided below, are doing so with the intent that the
covenants provided for in this Replacement Capital Covenant be enforceable by each Covered
Debtholder and that the Company and the Guarantor be estopped from breaching the covenants in this
Replacement Capital Covenant, in each case to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

     D. The Company and the Guarantor acknowledge that reliance by each Covered Debtholder upon the
covenants in this Replacement Capital Covenant is reasonable and foreseeable by the Company and the
Guarantor and that the breach by the Company or the Guarantor of such covenants could result in
injury or damages to a Covered Debtholder.

     NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Guarantor hereby covenant and agree as follows in favor of
and for the benefit of each Covered Debtholder.

     SECTION 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this Replacement Capital Covenant
(including the Recitals) have the meanings set forth in Schedule I hereto.

     SECTION 2. Limitations on Redemption, Repurchase, Defeasance or Purchase of Subordinated
Notes. The Company and the Guarantor hereby promise and covenant to and for the benefit of
each Covered Debtholder that the Company shall not redeem or repurchase, or defease or discharge
through the deposit of money and/or U.S. Government Obligations as contemplated by Article XI of
the Subordinated Indenture (herein referred to as “defeasance”),

 

 

any portion of the principal amount of the Subordinated Notes, and the Company and the
Guarantor shall not purchase and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries not to purchase, all or
any part of the Subordinated Notes, in each case, on or before the Termination Date, except to the
extent that the principal amount repaid or defeased or the applicable repurchase, redemption or
purchase price does not exceed the sum of the following amounts:

     (i) the Applicable Percentage of (a) the aggregate amount of the net cash proceeds any
member of the Company Group has received from the sale of Common Units and Subordinated
Units and Rights to acquire Units; and (b) the Market Value of any of the Common Units or
Subordinated Units that have been issued in connection with the conversion into or exchange
for Common Units or Subordinated Units of any convertible or exchangeable securities, other
than, in the case of clause (b), where the security into or for which such Common Units or
Subordinated Units are convertible or exchangeable has received equivalent equity credit
from any NRSRO; plus

     (ii) the aggregate amount of net cash proceeds a member of the Company Group has
received from the sale of Replacement Capital Securities (other than the securities set
forth in clause (i) above);

in each case, to Persons other than a member of the Company Group within the applicable Measurement
Period (it being understood that any such net cash proceeds or Market Value shall be applied only
once to the redemption, repurchase, defeasance or purchase of Subordinated Notes, that the earliest
net cash proceeds or Market Value in any Measurement Period shall be deemed applied first to any
such redemption, repurchase, defeasance or purchase, and that any net cash proceeds or Market Value
not so applied shall continue to be available in any other Measurement Period within which it
falls); provided that the limitations in this Section 2 shall not restrict the redemption,
repurchase, defeasance or purchase of any Subordinated Notes that have been previously repurchased,
defeased or purchased in accordance with this Replacement Capital Covenant.

     SECTION 3. Covered Debt.

     (a) The Company and the Guarantor represent and warrant that the Initial Covered Debt is
Eligible Debt.

     (b) On or during the 30-day period immediately preceding any Redesignation Date with respect
to the Covered Debt then in effect, the Company shall identify the series of Eligible Debt that
will become the Covered Debt on and after such Redesignation Date in accordance with the following
procedures:

     (i) the Company shall identify each series of then outstanding long-term indebtedness
for money borrowed that is Eligible Debt of the Company or, if the Company does not have any
Eligible Debt outstanding, of the Guarantor;

     (ii) if only one series of such then outstanding long-term indebtedness for money
borrowed is Eligible Debt, such series shall become the Covered Debt commencing on such
Redesignation Date;

2

 

     (iii) if the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, has more than one outstanding
series of long-term indebtedness for money borrowed that is Eligible Debt, then the Company
shall identify the series that has the latest occurring final maturity date as of the date
the Company is applying the procedures in this Section 3(b) and such series shall become the
Covered Debt on such Redesignation Date;

     (iv) the series of outstanding long-term indebtedness for money borrowed that is
determined to be Covered Debt pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) above shall be the Covered
Debt for purposes of this Replacement Capital Covenant for the period commencing on such
Redesignation Date and continuing to but not including the Redesignation Date as of which a
new series of outstanding long-term indebtedness is next determined to be the Covered Debt
pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Section 3(b); and

     (v) in connection with such identification of a new series of Covered Debt, the Company
and the Guarantor shall give the notice provided for in Section 3(c) within the time frame
provided for in such section.

     Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Replacement Capital Covenant, if a series of
Eligible Senior Debt of the Company or any Guarantor has become the Covered Debt in accordance with
this Section 3(b), on the date on which the issuer of such Covered Debt issues a new series of
Eligible Subordinated Debt, then immediately upon such issuance such new series of Eligible
Subordinated Debt shall become the Covered Debt and the applicable series of Eligible Senior Debt
shall cease to be the Covered Debt.

     (c) Notice. In order to give effect to the intent of the Company and the Guarantor
described in Recital C, the Company and the Guarantor covenant that (i) simultaneously with the
execution of this Replacement Capital Covenant or as soon as practicable after the date hereof
(x) notice shall be given to the Holders of the Initial Covered Debt and the trustee under the
indenture or other instrument establishing such debt, in the manner provided in the indenture or
such instrument, of this Replacement Capital Covenant and the rights granted to such Holders
hereunder and (y) the Guarantor shall file a copy of this Replacement Capital Covenant with the
Commission as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K under the Securities Exchange Act; (ii) so
long as the Guarantor is a reporting issuer under the Securities Exchange Act, the Guarantor shall
include in each annual report filed after the date hereof with the Commission on Form 10-K under
the Securities Exchange Act a description of the covenant set forth in Section 2 and identify the
series of long-term indebtedness for money borrowed that is Covered Debt as of the date such Form
10-K is filed with the Commission; (iii) if a series of the long-term indebtedness for money
borrowed of the Company or the Guarantor (1) becomes Covered Debt or (2) ceases to be Covered Debt,
the Company and the Guarantor shall give notice of such occurrence within 30 days to the Holders of
such long-term indebtedness for money borrowed in the manner provided for in the indenture or other
instrument under which such long-term indebtedness for money borrowed was issued and the Guarantor
shall report such change in a Current Report on Form 8-K (which shall include or incorporate by
reference this Replacement Capital Covenant) and in the Guarantor’s next quarterly report on Form
10-Q or annual report on Form 10-K, as applicable; (iv) if, and only if, the Guarantor ceases to be
a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act, the Guarantor shall (A) post on its website
the information otherwise required to be included in Securities Exchange Act filings pursuant to
clauses (ii) and

3

 

(iii) of this Section 3(c) and (B) cause a notice of the existence of this Replacement Capital
Covenant to be posted on the Bloomberg screen for the Covered Debt or any successor Bloomberg
screen and each similar third-party vendor’s screen the Guarantor reasonably believes is
appropriate (each an “Investor Screen”) and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause a
hyperlink to a definitive copy of this Replacement Capital Covenant to be included on the Investor
Screen for each series of Covered Debt, in each case to the extent permitted by Bloomberg or such
similar third-party vendor, as the case may be; and (v) promptly upon request by any Holder of
Covered Debt, such Holder will be provided with an executed copy of this Replacement Capital
Covenant.

     SECTION 4. Termination, Amendment and Waiver. (a) The obligations of the Company and
the Guarantor pursuant to this Replacement Capital Covenant shall remain in full force and effect
until the earliest date (the “Termination Date”) to occur of (i) 12:00 a.m. (New York, New
York time) on June 1, 2037, or if earlier, the date on which the Subordinated Notes are otherwise
paid, redeemed, defeased or purchased in full in accordance with this Replacement Capital Covenant,
(ii) the date, if any, on which the Holders of a majority by principal amount of the then-effective
series of Covered Debt consent or agree in writing to the termination of this Replacement Capital
Covenant and the obligations of the Company and the Guarantor hereunder, (iii) the date on which
none of the Company or the Guarantor has any series of outstanding Eligible Senior Debt or Eligible
Subordinated Debt (in each case without giving effect to the rating requirement in clause (b) of
the definition of each such term) and (iv) the date on which the Subordinated Notes are accelerated
as a result of an event of default under the Subordinated Indenture. From and after the
Termination Date, the obligations of the Company and the Guarantor pursuant to this Replacement
Capital Covenant shall be of no further force and effect.

     (b) This Replacement Capital Covenant may be amended or supplemented from time to time by a
written instrument signed by the Company and the Guarantor with the consent of the Holders of a
majority by principal amount of the then-effective series of Covered Debt, provided that
this Replacement Capital Covenant may be amended or supplemented from time to time by a written
instrument signed only by the Company and the Guarantor (and without the consent of any Holders of
the then-effective series of Covered Debt) if any of the following apply (it being understood that
any such amendment or supplement may fall into one or more of the following):

     (i) such amendment or supplement eliminates Common Units or Subordinated Units (or
Rights to acquire Units) as Replacement Capital Securities, if either (A) the Guarantor has
been advised in writing by a nationally recognized independent accounting firm that or (B)
an accounting standard or interpretive guidance of an existing accounting standard by an
organization or regulator that has responsibility for establishing or interpreting
accounting standards in the United States becomes effective such that, in each case, there
is more than an insubstantial risk that the failure to do so would result in a reduction in
the Guarantor’s earnings per Common Unit or Subordinated Unit as calculated for financial
reporting purposes,

     (ii) the effect of such amendment or supplement is solely to impose additional
restrictions on the ability of a member of the Company Group to redeem, repurchase, defease
or purchase the Subordinated Notes or to impose additional restrictions on, or to eliminate
certain of, the types of securities qualifying as Replacement Capital Securities and the
Company and the Guarantor has delivered to the Holders of the then-effective

4

 

series of Covered Debt in the manner provided for in the indenture or other instrument
with respect to such Covered Debt a written certificate to that effect executed on its
behalf by an officer of its general partner,

     (iii) such amendment or supplement extends the date specified in Section 4(a)(i), the
Stepdown Date or both, or

     (iv) such amendment or supplement is not adverse to the rights of the Covered
Debtholders hereunder and the Company and the Guarantor has delivered to the Holders of the
then-effective series of Covered Debt in the manner provided for in the indenture or other
instrument with respect to such Covered Debt a written certificate executed on its behalf by
an officer of its general partner stating that the Company and the Guarantor have determined
that such amendment or supplement is not adverse to the Covered Debtholders. For the
avoidance of doubt, an amendment or supplement that adds new types of Replacement Capital
Securities or modifies the requirements of the Replacement Capital Securities described
herein would not be adverse to the rights of the Covered Debtholders if, following such
amendment or supplement, this Replacement Capital Covenant would satisfy clause (ii)(b) of
the definition of Qualifying Replacement Capital Covenant.

     (c) For purposes of Sections 4(a) and 4(b), the Holders whose consent or agreement is required
to terminate, amend or supplement this Replacement Capital Covenant or the obligations of the
Company hereunder shall be the Holders of the then-effective Covered Debt as of a record date
established by the Company that is not more than 60 days prior to the date on which the Company
proposes that such termination, amendment or supplement becomes effective.

     SECTION 5. Miscellaneous. (a) This Replacement Capital Covenant shall be governed by
and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

     (b) This Replacement Capital Covenant shall be binding upon the Company and the Guarantor and
their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Covered Debtholders
as they exist from time-to-time (it being understood and agreed by the Company and the Guarantor
that any Person who is a Covered Debtholder, if such Person initiates a claim or proceeding to
enforce its rights under this Replacement Capital Covenant after the Company or the Guarantor has
violated its covenants in Section 2 and before the series of long-term indebtedness for money
borrowed held by such Person is no longer Covered Debt, such Person’s rights under this Replacement
Capital Covenant shall not terminate by reason of such series of long-term indebtedness for money
borrowed no longer being Covered Debt until the termination of such claim or proceeding). If at
any time the Covered Debt is held by a trust (for example, where the Covered Debt is part of a an
issuance of trust preferred securities), a holder of the securities issued by such trust may
enforce (including by instituting legal proceedings) this Replacement Capital Covenant directly
against the Company and the Guarantor as if such holder owned the Covered Debt Directly, and the
holders of such trust securities shall be deemed Holders of Covered Debt for purposes of this
Replacement Capital Covenant for so long as the indebtedness held by such trust remains Covered
Debt hereunder. Other than the Covered Debtholders as provided in the previous two sentences, no
other Person shall have any rights under this Replacement Capital Covenant or be deemed a third
party

5

 

beneficiary of or entitled to rely on this Replacement Capital Covenant. In particular, no
holder of the Subordinated Notes is a third party beneficiary of this Replacement Capital Covenant,
it being understood that the rights of the holders of the notes are set forth in the Subordinated
Indenture.

     (c) All demands, notices, requests and other communications to the Company or the Guarantor
under this Replacement Capital Covenant shall be deemed to have been duly given and made if in
writing and (i) if served by personal delivery upon the Company or the Guarantor, on the day so
delivered (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day), (ii) if
delivered by registered post or certified mail, return receipt requested, or sent to the Company or
the Guarantor by a national or international courier service, on the date of receipt by the Company
or the Guarantor, as applicable (or, if such date of receipt is not a Business Day, the next
succeeding Business Day), or (iii) if sent by telecopier, on the day telecopied, or if not a
Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, provided that the telecopy is promptly
confirmed by telephone confirmation thereof, and in each case to the Company or the Guarantor at
the address set forth below, or at such other address as the Company may thereafter notify to
Covered Debtholders or post on its website as the address for notices under this Replacement
Capital Covenant:

Definitions

     “Alternative Payment Mechanism” means, with respect to any Qualifying Capital
Securities, provisions in the related transaction documents that require the issuer thereof, in its
discretion, to issue (or use commercially reasonable efforts to issue) one or more types of APM
Qualifying Securities raising eligible proceeds at least equal to the deferred Distributions on
such Qualifying Capital Securities and apply the proceeds to pay unpaid Distributions on such
Qualifying Capital Securities, commencing on the earlier of (x) the first Distribution Date after
commencement of a deferral period on which such issuer pays current Distributions on such
Qualifying Capital Securities and (y) the fifth anniversary of the commencement of such deferral
period, and that:

     (a) define “eligible proceeds” to mean, for purposes of such Alternative Payment
Mechanism, the net proceeds (after underwriters’ or placement agents’ fees, commissions or
discounts and other expenses relating to the issuance or sale) that such issuer has received
during the 180 days prior to the related Distribution Date from the issuance of APM
Qualifying Securities to Persons other than a member of the Company Group, up to the
Preferred Cap (as defined in (d) below) in the case of APM Qualifying Securities that are
Qualifying Preferred Units;

     (b) permit such issuer to pay current Distributions on any Distribution Date out of any
source of funds but (x) require such issuer to pay deferred Distributions only out of
eligible proceeds and (y) prohibit such issuer from paying deferred Distributions out of any
source of funds other than eligible proceeds;

     (c) if deferral of Distributions continues for more than one year, require such issuer
or any of its Subsidiaries not to redeem, repurchase or purchase any securities that rank
pari passu with or junior to any APM Qualifying Securities that such issuer has issued to
settle deferred Distributions in respect to that deferral period until at least one year
after all deferred Distributions have been paid (a “Repurchase Restriction”);

     (d) limit the obligation of such issuer to issue (or use commercially reasonable
efforts to issue) APM Qualifying Securities to:

     (i) in the case of APM Qualifying Securities that are Common Units or
Subordinated Units and Rights to acquire Units, either (i) during the first five
years of any deferral period or (ii) with respect to deferred Distributions
attributable to the first five years of any deferral period (provided that such
limitation shall not apply after the ninth anniversary of the commencement of any
deferral period), to a number of Common Units, Subordinated Units and Units
purchasable upon the exercise of any Rights to acquire Units, which does not, in the
aggregate, exceed 2% of the outstanding number of Common Units and Subordinated
Units (the “Common Cap”); and

     (ii) in the case of APM Qualifying Securities that are Qualifying Preferred
Units, an amount from the issuance thereof pursuant to the related Alternative
Payment Mechanism (including at any point in time from all prior

1

 

issuances thereof pursuant to such Alternative Payment Mechanism) equal to 25%
of the liquidation or principal amount of the Qualifying Capital Securities that are
the subject of the related Alternative Payment Mechanism (the “Preferred
Cap”);

     (e) in the case of Qualifying Capital Securities other than Qualifying Preferred Units,
include a Bankruptcy Claim Limitation Provision; and

     (f) permit such issuer, at its option, to provide that if such issuer is involved in a
merger, consolidation, amalgamation, binding unit exchange or conveyance, transfer or lease
of assets substantially as an entirety to any other person or a similar transaction (a
“business combination”) where immediately after the consummation of the business
combination more than 50% of the surviving or resulting entity’s voting securities is owned
by the equityholders of the other party to the business combination, then clauses (a), (b)
and (c) above will not apply to any deferral period that is terminated on the next
Distribution Date following the date of consummation of the business combination;

provided (and it being understood) that:

     (i) the Alternative Payment Mechanism may at the discretion of such issuer include a
unit cap limiting the issuance of APM Qualifying Securities consisting of Common Units, or
Subordinated Units and Qualifying Warrants, in each case to a maximum issuance cap to be set
at the discretion of such issuer; provided that such maximum issuance cap will be
subject to such issuer’s agreement to use commercially reasonable efforts to increase the
maximum issuance cap when reached and (i) simultaneously satisfy their future fixed or
contingent obligations under other securities and derivative instruments that provide for
settlement or payment in Common Units or Subordinated Units or (ii) if such issuer cannot
increase the maximum issuance cap as contemplated in the preceding clause, by requesting its
Board to adopt a resolution for unitholder vote at the next occurring annual unitholders
meeting to increase the number of units of such issuer’s authorized Common Units or
Subordinated Units for purposes of satisfying their obligations to pay deferred
Distributions;

     (ii) such issuer shall not be obligated to issue (or use commercially reasonable
efforts to issue) APM Qualifying Securities for so long as a Market Disruption Event has
occurred and is continuing;

     (iii) if, due to a Market Disruption Event or otherwise, such issuer is able to raise
and apply some, but not all, of the eligible proceeds necessary to pay all deferred
Distributions on any Distribution Date, such issuer will apply any available eligible
proceeds to pay accrued and unpaid Distributions on the applicable Distribution Date in
chronological order subject to the Common Cap, the Preferred Cap, and any maximum issuance
cap referred to above, as applicable; and

     (iv) if such issuer has outstanding more than one class or series of securities under
which it is obligated to sell a type of APM Qualifying Securities and apply some part of the
proceeds to the payment of deferred Distributions, then on any date and for any period the
amount of net proceeds received by such issuer from those sales and

2

 

available for payment of deferred Distributions on such securities shall be applied to
such securities on a pro rata basis up to the Common Cap, the Preferred Cap and any maximum
issuance cap referred to above, as applicable, in proportion to the total amounts that are
due on such securities.

     “APM Qualifying Securities” means, with respect to an Alternative Payment Mechanism,
any Debt Exchangeable for Preferred Equity or any Mandatory Trigger Provision, one or more of the
following (as designated in the transaction documents for any Qualifying Capital Securities that
include an Alternative Payment Mechanism or a Mandatory Trigger Provision or for any Debt
Exchangeable for Preferred Equity):

     (a) Common Units or Subordinated Units; or

     (b) Qualifying Warrants; and

     (c) Qualifying Preferred Units;

provided that, if the APM Qualifying Securities for any Alternative Payment Mechanism, any
Debt Exchangeable for Preferred Equity or any Mandatory Trigger Provision include both Common
Units, Subordinated Units and Qualifying Warrants, such Alternative Payment Mechanism, Debt
Exchangeable for Preferred Equity or Mandatory Trigger Provision may permit, but need not require,
the issuer thereof to issue Qualifying Warrants.

     “Applicable Percentage” means 200% with respect to any redemption, repurchase,
purchase or defeasance of Subordinated Notes prior to the Termination Date.

     “Bankruptcy Claim Limitation Provision” means, with respect to any Qualifying Capital
Securities that have an Alternative Payment Mechanism or a Mandatory Trigger Provision, provisions
that, upon any liquidation, dissolution, winding up or reorganization or in connection with any
insolvency, receivership or proceeding under any bankruptcy law with respect to the issuer, limit
the claim of the holders of such Qualifying Capital Securities to Distributions that accumulate
during (a) any deferral period, in the case of Qualifying Capital Securities that have an
Alternative Payment Mechanism or (b) any period in which the issuer fails to satisfy one or more
financial tests set forth in the terms of such securities or related transaction agreements, in the
case of Qualifying Capital Securities having a Mandatory Trigger Provision, to:

     (i) in the case of Qualifying Capital Securities having an Alternative Payment
Mechanism or Mandatory Trigger Provision with respect to which the APM Qualifying Securities
do not include Qualifying Preferred Units, 25% of the stated or principal amount of such
securities then outstanding; and

     (ii) in the case of any other Qualifying Capital Securities, an amount not in excess of
the sum of (x) the amount of accumulated and unpaid Distributions (including compounded
amounts) that relate to the earliest two years of the portion of the deferral period for
which Distributions have not been paid and (y) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the
Preferred Cap over the aggregate amount of net proceeds from the sale of Qualifying
Preferred Units that the issuer has applied to pay such Distributions pursuant to the
Alternative Payment Mechanism or the Mandatory Trigger Provision, provided that

3

 

the holders of such securities are deemed to agree that, to the extent the remaining
claim exceeds the amount set forth in subclause (x), the amount they receive in respect of
such excess shall not exceed the amount they would have received had the claim for such
excess ranked pari passu with the interests of the holders, if any, of Qualifying Preferred
Units.

Bankruptcy Claim Limitation Provision; and

     (d) prohibit the issuer of such securities from redeeming or purchasing any of its
securities ranking upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the issuer junior to

efforts to issue) any such APM Qualifying Securities for so long as a Market
Disruption Event has occurred and is continuing;

     (ii) if, due to a Market Disruption Event or otherwise, the issuer is able to
raise and apply some, but not all, of the eligible proceeds necessary to pay all
deferred Distributions on any Distribution Date, the issuer will apply any available
eligible proceeds to pay accrued and unpaid Distributions on the applicable
Distribution Date in chronological order subject to the Common Cap and Preferred
Cap, as applicable; and

     (iii) if the issuer has outstanding more than one class or series of securities

those sales and available for payment of deferred Distributions on such securities
shall be applied to such securities on a pro rata basis up to the Common Cap and the
Preferred Cap, as applicable, in proportion to the total amounts that are due on
such securities.

settlement or clearance services in the United States and such disruption materially
disrupts or otherwise has a material adverse effect on trading in, or the issuance and sale

previously undisclosed proposed or pending material business transaction, the disclosure of
which would impede the ability of the Company or such Guarantor to consummate such
transaction, provided that no single suspension period contemplated by this
paragraph (g) shall exceed 90 consecutive days and multiple suspension periods contemplated
by this paragraph (g) shall not exceed an aggregate of 180 days in any 360-day period; or

unduly burdensome, provided that no single suspension period contemplated by this
paragraph (h) shall exceed 90 consecutive days and multiple

10
