Debentures, compounded semiannually during any such Extension Period. If any date on which a Distribution is otherwise payable on the Trust Securities is not a Business Day, then the payment of such Distribution shall be made on the next succeeding
day that is a Business Day (and without any additional distributions or other payment in respect of any such delay), except that, if such Business Day is in

 (b) The Trust Securities represent undivided beneficial interests in the
Trust Property, and the Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be payable at a rate of 9.70% per annum of the Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities. The term “Distributions” as used herein includes such cash distributions
and any accumulated or additional distributions that are payable hereunder unless otherwise stated. The amount of Distributions payable for any full or partial period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The
amount of Distributions payable for any period shall include Additional Amounts, if any.

available in the Payment Account for the payment of such Distributions. 
  
 (d) Distributions on the Trust Securities with respect to a Distribution Date shall be payable to the Holders thereof as they appear on the Securities Register at the close of business on the relevant record date, which, as long as the
Capital Securities remain in book-entry only form, shall be the date one Business Day immediately preceding such Distribution Date. The relevant record dates for the Common Securities shall be the same record dates as for the Capital Securities. If
the Capital Securities shall not continue to remain in book-entry only form or are not in book-entry only form at issuance, the relevant record dates for the Capital Securities shall be the date 15 days prior to the relevant Distribution Date, which
Distribution Dates shall correspond to the interest payment dates on the Debentures. Distributions payable on any Trust Securities that are not punctually paid on any Distribution Date, as a result of the Debenture Issuer (or the Debenture Guarantor
on its behalf) having failed to make an interest payment under the Debentures, will cease to be payable to the Person in whose name such Trust Securities are registered on the relevant record date, and such defaulted Distribution will instead be
payable to the Person in whose name such Trust Securities are registered on the special record date or other specified date for determining Debentureholders entitled to such defaulted interest established in accordance with the Indenture.

  
 (e) In the event that there is any money or other property
held by or for the Trust that is not accounted for hereunder, such property shall be distributed pro rata among the Holders of the Trust Securities. A reference herein to any payment, distribution or treatment as being “pro rata” shall
mean pro rata to each Holder of Trust Securities according to the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities held by the relevant Holder in relation to the aggregate Liquidation Amount of all Trust Securities outstanding unless, in
relation to a payment, a Debenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case any funds available to make such payment shall be paid first to each Holder of the Capital Securities pro rata according to the aggregate Liquidation
Amount of Capital Securities held by the relevant Holder relative to the aggregate Liquidation 

  

 17 

 
Amount of all Capital Securities outstanding, and only after satisfaction of all amounts owed to the Holders of the Capital Securities, to each Holder of
Common Securities pro rata according to the aggregate Liquidation Amount of Common Securities held by the relevant Holder relative to the aggregate Liquidation Amount of all Common Securities outstanding. 
  
 Section 4.2 Redemption. 
  
 (a) On a Debenture Redemption Date and on the stated maturity of the Debentures, the Trust will be required to redeem a Like
Amount of Trust Securities at a price per Trust Security equal to the Redemption Price. 
  
 (b) Notice of redemption shall be given by the Property Trustee by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Trust Securities to be
redeemed, at such Holder’s address appearing in the Security Register. All notices of redemption shall state: 
  
 (i) the Redemption Date; 
  
 (ii) the Redemption Price; 
  
 (iii) the CUSIP number; and 
  
 (iv) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Trust Security to be redeemed and that
distributions thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date. 
  
 (c) The Trust Securities redeemed on a Redemption Date shall be redeemed at the Redemption Price with the proceeds from the contemporaneous redemption of Debentures. Redemptions of the Trust Securities shall be made and the Redemption Price
shall be payable on a Redemption Date only to the extent that the Trust has funds then on hand and available in the Payment Account for the payment of such Redemption Price. 
  
 (d) If the Property Trustee gives a notice of redemption (which notice shall be irrevocable) in respect of any Capital
Securities, then, by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Redemption Date, subject to Section 4.2(c), the Property Trustee will, so long as the Capital Securities are in book-entry-only form, irrevocably deposit with the Clearing Agency for
the Capital Securities funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price and will give such Clearing Agency irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Redemption Price to the relevant Persons’ accounts at such Clearing Agency on
the applicable Redemption Date. If the Capital Securities are no longer in book-entry-only form, and in the case of the Common Securities, the Property Trustee, subject to Section 4.2(c), will irrevocably deposit with the Paying Agent funds
sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price and will give the Paying Agent irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Redemption Price to the Holders thereof upon surrender of their Trust Securities Certificates. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Distributions payable on or prior to the Redemption Date for any Trust Securities called for redemption shall be payable to the Holders of such Trust Securities as 

  

 18 

 
they appear on the Securities Register for the Trust Securities on the relevant record dates for the related Distribution Dates. If notice of redemption
shall have been given and funds deposited as required, then immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such deposit, all rights of Securityholders holding Trust Securities so called for redemption will cease, except the right of such
Securityholders to receive the Redemption Price and any Distributions payable on or prior to the Redemption Date, but without interest, and such Securities will cease to be outstanding. In the event that any date on which any Redemption Price is
payable is not a Business Day, then payment of the Redemption Price payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay), except that, if such
Business Day falls in the next calendar year, such payment will be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case, with the same force and effect as if made on such date. In the event that payment of the Redemption Price in respect of
any Trust Securities called for redemption is improperly withheld or refused and not paid either by the Trust or by the Capital Securities Guarantor pursuant to the Guarantee, Distributions on such Trust Securities will continue to accrue, at the
then applicable rate, from the Redemption Date originally established by the Trust for such Trust Securities to the date such Redemption Price is actually paid, in which case the actual payment date will be the date fixed for redemption for purposes
of calculating the Redemption Price. 
  
 (e) Payment of the
Redemption Price on the Trust Securities shall be made to the recordholders thereof as they appear on the Securities Register for the Trust Securities on the relevant record date, which shall be one Business Day prior to the relevant Redemption
Date; provided, however, that in the event that the Capital Securities do not remain in book-entry-only form, the relevant record date shall be the date fifteen days prior to the relevant Redemption Date. 
  
 (f) Subject to applicable law, the Capital Securities Guarantor and its
subsidiaries, including the Depositor, may at any time and from time to time purchase Outstanding Capital Securities by tender in the open market or by private agreement. 
  
 Section 4.3 Subordination of Common Securities. 
  
 (a) Payment of Distributions (including Additional Amounts, if applicable) on, and the Redemption Price of, the Trust
Securities, as applicable, shall be made, subject to Section 4.2(f), pro rata among the Common Securities and the Capital Securities based on the Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities; provided, however, that if on any Distribution Date or
Redemption Date any Event of Default resulting from a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no payment of any Distribution (including Additional Amounts, if applicable) on, or Redemption Price of, any Common Security, and
no other payment on account of the redemption, liquidation or other acquisition of Common Securities, shall be made unless payment in full in cash of all accumulated and unpaid Distributions (including Additional Amounts, if applicable) on all
Outstanding Capital Securities for all Distribution periods terminating on or prior thereto, or in the case of payment of the Redemption Price the full amount of such Redemption Price on all Outstanding Capital Securities, shall have been made or
provided for, and all funds immediately available to the Property Trustee shall first be applied to the payment in full in cash of all Distributions (including Additional Amounts, if applicable) on, or the Redemption Price of, Capital Securities
then due and payable. 
  

 19 

 (b) In the case of the occurrence of any Event of Default resulting from any Debenture Event of Default,
the Holder of Common Securities will be deemed to have waived any right to act with respect to any such Event of Default under this Trust Agreement until the effect of all such Events of Default with respect to the Capital Securities have been
cured, waived or otherwise eliminated. Until any such Event of Default under this Trust Agreement with respect to the Capital Securities has been so cured, waived or otherwise eliminated, the Property Trustee shall act solely on behalf of the
Holders of the Capital Securities and not the Holder of the Common Securities, and only the Holders of the Capital Securities will have the right to direct the Property Trustee to act on their behalf. 
  
 Section 4.4 Payment Procedures. 
  
 Payments of Distributions (including Additional Amounts, if applicable) in
respect of the Capital Securities shall be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear on the Securities Register or, if the Capital Securities are held by a Clearing Agency, such Distributions
shall be made to the Clearing Agency in immediately available funds, which shall credit the relevant Persons’ accounts at such Clearing Agency on the applicable distribution dates. Payments in respect of the Common Securities shall be made in
such manner as shall be mutually agreed between the Property Trustee and the Common Securityholder. 
  
 Section 4.5 Tax Returns and Reports. 
  
 The Administrative Trustees shall prepare (or cause to be prepared), at the Depositor’s expense, and file all United States Federal, state and local tax and information returns and reports required to be filed by
or in respect of the Trust. In this regard, the Administrative Trustees shall 
  
 (a) prepare and file (or cause to be prepared and filed) the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Form required to be filed in respect of the Trust in each taxable year of the Trust and 
  
 (b) prepare and furnish (or cause to be prepared and furnished) to each
Securityholder the appropriate Internal Revenue Service form required by the Code to be provided. The Administrative Trustees shall provide the Depositor and the Property Trustee with a copy of all such returns and reports promptly after such filing
or furnishing. The Trustees shall comply with United States Federal withholding and backup withholding tax laws and information reporting requirements with respect to any payments to Securityholders under the Trust Securities. 
  
 Section 4.6 Payment of Taxes, Duties, etc. of the Trust. 
  
 Upon receipt under the Debentures of Additional Sums, the Property Trustee
shall promptly pay any taxes, duties or governmental charges of whatsoever nature (other than withholding taxes) imposed on the Trust by the United States or any other taxing authority. 
  

 20 

 Section 4.7 Payments under Indenture. 
  
 Any amount payable hereunder to any Holder of Capital Securities shall be reduced by the amount of any corresponding payment
such Holder (and any Owner with respect thereto) has directly received pursuant to Section 5.8 of the Indenture. 
  
 ARTICLE V. 
 TRUST SECURITIES CERTIFICATES

  
 Section 5.1 Initial Ownership. 
  
 Upon the formation of the Trust and the contribution by the Depositor
pursuant to Section 2.3 and until the issuance of the Trust Securities, and at any time during which no Trust Securities are outstanding, the Depositor shall be the sole beneficial owner of the Trust. 
  
 Section 5.2 The Trust Securities Certificates. 
  
 The Capital Securities Certificates shall be issued in minimum denominations
of $1,000 Liquidation Amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, and the Common Securities Certificates shall be issued in minimum denominations of $1,000 Liquidation Amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The
Trust Securities Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by manual signature of at least one Administrative Trustee. Trust Securities Certificates bearing the manual signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures
shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trust, shall be validly issued and entitled to the benefits of this Trust Agreement, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so authorized prior to the
delivery of such Trust Securities Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of delivery of such Trust Securities Certificates. A transferee of a Trust Securities Certificate shall become a Securityholder, and shall be entitled to the
rights and subject to the obligations of a Securityholder hereunder, upon due registration of such Trust Securities Certificate in such transferee’s name pursuant to Sections 5.4, 5.11 and 5.13. 
  
 Section 5.3 Execution and Delivery of Trust Securities Certificates. 
  
 At each Time of Delivery, the Administrative Trustees shall cause Trust
Securities Certificates, in an aggregate Liquidation Amount as provided in Sections 2.4 and 2.5, to be executed on behalf of the Trust and delivered to or upon the written order of the Depositor, signed by its Chairman of the Board, a Vice Chairman,
its President, a Vice President or its Treasurer and attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries, without further corporate action by the Depositor, in authorized denominations. 
  
 Section 5.4 Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Capital Securities Certificates.

  
 The Depositor shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office
or agency maintained pursuant to Section 5.8, a register or registers for the purpose of registering Trust Securities Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Capital Securities Certificates (the “Securities Register”). The
registrar 

  

 21 

 
designated by the Depositor (the “Securities Registrar”), subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, shall provide for the
registration of Capital Securities Certificates and Common Securities Certificates (subject to Section 5.10 in the case of the Common Securities Certificates) and registration of transfers and exchanges of Capital Securities Certificates as
herein provided. The Bank shall be the initial Securities Registrar. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Capital Securities Certificate at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 5.8, the Administrative Trustees or
any one of them shall execute and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Capital Securities Certificates in authorized denominations of a like aggregate Liquidation Amount dated the date of execution by
such Administrative Trustee or Trustees. The Securities Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of any Capital Securities after such Capital Securities have been called for redemption. At the option of a Holder, Capital Securities
Certificates may be exchanged for other Capital Securities Certificates in authorized denominations of the same class and of a like aggregate Liquidation Amount upon surrender of the Capital Securities Certificates to be exchanged at the office or
agency maintained pursuant to Section 5.8. Every Capital Securities Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to an Administrative
Trustee and the Securities Registrar duly executed by the Holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Capital Securities Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled and subsequently disposed of by
an Administrative Trustee in accordance with customary practice. Registration of transfers or exchanges of Capital Securities Certificates shall be effected without service charge by or on behalf of the Trust, but the Securities Registrar may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such transfer or exchange. 
  
 Section 5.5 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Trust Securities Certificates. 
  
 If (a) any mutilated Trust Securities Certificate shall be surrendered to the Securities Registrar, or if the
Securities Registrar shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Trust Securities Certificate and (b) there shall be delivered to the Securities Registrar and the Administrative Trustees such security or
indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice that such Trust Securities Certificate shall have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Administrative Trustees, or any one of them, on behalf of
the Trust shall execute and make available for delivery, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Trust Securities Certificate, a new Trust Securities Certificate of like class, tenor and denomination. In
connection with the issuance of any new Trust Securities Certificate under this Section, the Administrative Trustees or the Securities Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection therewith. Any duplicate Trust Securities Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of an undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not
the lost, stolen or destroyed Trust Securities Certificate shall be found at any time. 
  

 22 

 Section 5.6 Persons Deemed Securityholders. 
  
 Prior to due presentation of a Trust Securities Certificate for registration of transfer, the Administrative Trustees or the
Securities Registrar shall treat the Person in whose name any Trust Securities Certificate shall be registered in the Securities Register as the owner of such Trust Securities Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions and for all other
purposes whatsoever, and neither the Trustees nor the Securities Registrar shall be bound by any notice to the contrary. 
  
 Section 5.7 Access to List of Securityholders’ Names and Addresses. 
  
 The Administrative Trustees shall furnish or cause to be furnished (x) to the Depositor, within 15 days after receipt by any Administrative Trustee
of a request therefor from the Depositor in writing and (y) to the Property Trustee, promptly after receipt by any Administrative Trustee of a request therefor from the Property Trustee in writing in order to enable the Property Trustee to
discharge its obligations under this Trust Agreement, a list, in such form as the Depositor or the Property Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Securityholders as of a recent date. If Holders of Trust Securities
Certificates evidencing ownership at such time and for the previous six months of not less than 25% of the Outstanding aggregate Liquidation Amount apply in writing to any Administrative Trustee, and such application states that the applicants
desire to communicate with other Securityholders with respect to their rights under this Trust Agreement or under the Trust Securities Certificates and such application is accompanied by a copy of the communication that such applicants propose to
transmit, then the Administrative Trustees shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of such application, afford such applicants access during normal business hours to the current list of Securityholders. Each Holder, by receiving and
holding a Trust Securities Certificate, and each Owner shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold the Depositor, the Property Trustee or the Administrative Trustees accountable by reason of the disclosure of its name and address, regardless of the
source from which such information was derived. 
  
 Section 5.8 Maintenance
of Office or Agency. 
  
 The Administrative Trustees shall
maintain in Chicago, Illinois, an office or offices or agency or agencies where Capital Securities Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Trustees in respect of the Trust
Securities and the Trust Agreement may be served. The Administrative Trustees initially designate Bank One Trust Company, National Association, Bank One Plaza, Suite IL1-0126, Chicago, Illinois 60670-0126; Attention: Corporate Trust Services
Division, as the principal corporate trust office for such purposes. The Administrative Trustees shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor and to the Securityholders of any change in the location of the Securities Register or any such office
or agency. 
  

 23 

 Section 5.9 Appointment of Paying Agent. 
  
 The Paying Agent shall make distributions to Securityholders from the Payment Account and shall report the amounts of such
distributions to the Property Trustee and the Administrative Trustees. Any Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to withdraw funds from the Payment Account for the purpose of making the distributions referred to above. The Administrative
Trustees may revoke such power and remove the Paying Agent if such Trustees determine in their sole discretion that the Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its obligations under this Trust Agreement in any material respect. The Paying Agent
shall initially be the Bank, and any co-paying agent chosen by the Bank, and acceptable to the Administrative Trustees and the Depositor. Any Person acting as Paying Agent shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent upon 30 days’ written
notice to the Administrative Trustees, the Property Trustee and the Depositor. In the event that the Bank shall no longer be the Paying Agent or a successor Paying Agent shall resign or its authority to act be revoked, the Administrative Trustees
shall appoint a successor (which shall be a bank or trust company that is acceptable to the Administrative Trustees and the Depositor) to act as Paying Agent. The Administrative Trustees shall cause such successor Paying Agent or any additional
Paying Agent appointed by the Administrative Trustees to execute and deliver to the Trustees an instrument in which such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustees that as Paying Agent, such successor Paying
Agent or additional Paying Agent will hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Securityholders in trust for the benefit of the Securityholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Securityholders. The Paying Agent shall
return all unclaimed funds to the Property Trustee and upon removal of a Paying Agent such Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to the Property Trustee. The provisions of Sections 8.1, 8.3 and 8.6 herein shall apply to the
Paying Agent appointed hereunder and, to the extent applicable, to any other paying agent appointed hereunder. Any reference in this Agreement to the Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise. 

 
 Section 5.10 Ownership of Common Securities by Depositor. 
  
 At each Time of Delivery, the Depositor shall acquire and retain beneficial
and record ownership of all of the Common Securities then issued by the Trust, in an amount equal to at least 3% of the total capital of the Trust, at the same time as the Capital Securities are issued and sold. The aggregate Liquidation Amount of
the Common Securities at any time shall not be less than 3% of the total capital of the Trust. To the fullest extent permitted by law, other than a transfer in connection with a consolidation or merger of the Depositor into another corporation, or
any conveyance, transfer or lease by the Depositor of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Indenture, any attempted transfer of the Common Securities shall be void. The
Administrative Trustees shall cause each Common Securities Certificate issued to the Depositor to contain a legend stating “THIS CERTIFICATE IS NOT TRANSFERABLE EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THE TRUST AGREEMENT (AS DEFINED BELOW)”. 
  

 24 

 Section 5.11 Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificates; Common Securities Certificate. 
  
 (a) The Capital Securities Certificates, upon original issuance, will be
issued in the form of a typewritten Capital Securities Certificate or Certificates representing Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificates, to be delivered to DTC, the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Trust. Such Capital Securities
Certificate or Certificates shall initially be registered on the Securities Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency, and no beneficial owner will receive a Definitive Capital Securities Certificate
representing such beneficial owner’s interest in such Capital Securities, except as provided in Section 5.13. Except for Definitive Capital Securities Certificates as specified herein, unless and until Definitive Capital Securities
Certificates have been issued to beneficial owners pursuant to Section 5.13: 
  
 (i) the provisions of this Section 5.11(a) shall be in full force and effect; 
  
 (ii) the Securities Registrar and the Trustees shall be
entitled to deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes of this Trust Agreement relating to the Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificates (including the payment of the Liquidation Amount of and Distributions on the Book-Entry Capital Securities
and the giving of instructions or directions to Owners of Book-Entry Capital Securities) as the sole Holder of Book-Entry Capital Securities and shall have no obligations to the Owners thereof; 
  
 (iii) to the extent that the provisions of this
Section 5.11 conflict with any other provisions of this Trust Agreement, the provisions of this Section 5.11 shall control; and 
  
 (iv) the rights of the Owners of the Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificates shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and
shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants; provided, that solely for the purposes of determining whether the Holders of the requisite amount of
Capital Securities have voted on any matter provided for in this Trust Agreement, so long as Definitive Capital Security Certificates have not been issued, the Trustees may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, any written
instrument (including a proxy) delivered to the Trustees by the Clearing Agency setting forth the Owners’ votes or assigning the right to vote on any matter to any other Persons either in whole or in part. Pursuant to the Certificate Depository
Agreement, unless and until Definitive Capital Securities Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 5.13, the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit payments on
the Capital Securities to such Clearing Agency Participants. 
  
 (b) A single Common Securities Certificate representing the Common Securities shall be issued to the Depositor in the form of a definitive Common Securities Certificate. 
  

 25 

 Section 5.12 Notices to Clearing Agency. 
  
 (a) To the extent that a notice or other communication to the Owners is required under this Trust Agreement, unless and
until Definitive Capital Securities Certificates shall have been issued to Owners pursuant to Section 5.13, the Trustees shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Owners to the Clearing Agency, and shall
have no obligations to the Owners. 
  
 Section 5.13 Definitive Capital
Securities Certificates. 
  
 If (a) the Depositor advises
the Trustees in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to act as clearing agency with respect to the Capital Securities Certificates, and the Depositor fails to appoint a qualified successor within 90 days, (b) the
Depositor at its option advises the Trustees in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or (c) after the occurrence of a Debenture Event of Default, Owners of Capital Securities Certificates
representing beneficial interests aggregating at least a majority of the Liquidation Amount of the Outstanding Capital Securities advise the Property Trustee in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no
longer in the best interest of the Owners of Capital Securities Certificates, then the Property Trustee shall notify the Clearing Agency and the Clearing Agency shall notify all Owners of Capital Securities Certificates and the other Trustees of the
occurrence of any such event and of the availability of the Definitive Capital Securities Certificates to Owners of such class or classes, as applicable, requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Property Trustee of the typewritten Capital
Securities Certificate or Certificates representing the Book Entry Capital Securities Certificates by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Administrative Trustees, or any one of them, shall execute the Definitive
Capital Securities Certificates in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. Neither the Securities Registrar nor the Trustees shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be
protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Capital Securities Certificates, the Trustees shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Capital Securities Certificates as Securityholders. The Definitive Capital
Securities Certificates shall be printed, lithographed or engraved or may be produced in any other manner as is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Trustees, as evidenced by the execution thereof by the Administrative Trustees or any one of
them. 
  
 Section 5.14 Rights of Securityholders. 
  
 (a) The legal title to the Trust Property is vested exclusively in the
Property Trustee (in its capacity as such) in accordance with Section 2.9, and the Securityholders shall not have any right or title therein other than the undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the Trust conferred by their Trust
Securities and they shall have no right to call for any partition or division of property, profits or rights of the Trust except as described below. The Trust Securities shall be personal property giving only the rights specifically set forth
therein and in this Trust Agreement. The Trust Securities shall have no preemptive or similar rights and when issued and delivered to Securityholders against payment of the purchase price therefor will be fully paid and nonassessable by the Trust.
The Holders of the Trust Securities, in their capacities as such, shall be entitled to the same limitation of personal liability extended to stockholders of private corporations for profit organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware. 
  

 26 

 (b) For so long as any Capital Securities remain Outstanding, if, upon a Debenture Event of Default, the
Debenture Trustee fails or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Debentures fail to declare the principal of all of the Debentures to be immediately due and payable, the Holders of at least 25% in Liquidation Amount
of the Capital Securities then Outstanding shall have such right by a notice in writing to the Debenture Issuer, the Debenture Guarantor, the Debenture Trustee and the Property Trustee; and upon any such declaration such principal amount of and the
accrued interest on all of the Debentures shall become immediately due and payable, provided that the payment of principal, interest, and any other amounts payable with respect to such Debentures shall remain subordinated to the extent provided in
the Indenture. 
  
 At any time after such a declaration of
acceleration with respect to the Debentures has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Debenture Trustee as in the Indenture provided, the Holders of a majority in Liquidation Amount of the
Capital Securities then Outstanding, by written notice to the Debenture Issuer, the Debenture Guarantor, the Debenture Trustee and the Property Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: 
  
 (i) the Debenture Issuer or the Debenture Guarantor has paid
or deposited with the Debenture Trustee a sum sufficient to pay 
  
 (A) all overdue installments of interest (including any Additional Interest) on, and any other Additional Amounts with respect to, all of the Debentures, 
  
 (B) the principal of and premium on any Debentures which have become due otherwise than by such declaration
of acceleration and interest thereon and any Additional Amounts with respect thereto at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in the Debentures, 
  
 (C) to the extent the payment of such interest or Additional Amounts is lawful, interest upon overdue installments of any interest and
Additional Amounts at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in the Debentures, and 
  
 (D) all sums paid or advanced by the Debenture Trustee under the Indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Debenture Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Debenture Trustee under the Indenture; and 
  
 (ii) all Events of Default with respect to the Debentures, other than the non-payment of the principal of, any premium and interest on,
and any Additional Amounts with respect to the Debentures which have become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13 of the Indenture. 
  

 27 

 No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

  
 The Holders of not less than a majority in Liquidation Amount
of the Capital Securities then Outstanding may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Capital Securities, waive any past default under the Indenture, except a default (i) in the payment of principal of, any premium or interest (including any
Additional Interest) on, or any other Additional Amounts with respect to, the Debentures or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision which under the Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding
Debenture. 
  
 Upon receipt by the Property Trustee of written
notice declaring such an acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof, by Holders of the Capital Securities all or part of which are represented by Book-Entry Capital Securities Certificates, a record date shall be established for determining
Holders of Outstanding Capital Securities entitled to join in such notice, which record date shall be at the close of business on the day the Property Trustee receives such notice. The Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies,
and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such notice, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, that, unless such declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall have
become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having joined in such notice prior to the day which is 90 days after such record date, such notice of declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall
automatically and without further action by any Holder be canceled and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a Holder, or a proxy of a Holder, from giving, after expiration of such 90-day period, a new written notice of
declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof, as the case may be, that is identical to a written notice which has been canceled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in which event a new record date shall be
established pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.14(b). 
  
 (c) For so long as any Capital Securities remain Outstanding, to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the terms of this Trust Agreement and the Indenture, any Holder of Capital Securities shall have the right, upon a Debenture
Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(1) or 5.1(2) of the Indenture, to institute directly a proceeding against the Debenture Issuer or the Debenture Guarantor, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 5.8 of the Indenture, for
enforcement of payment to such Holder of the principal of, and any premium and (subject to the provisions of the Indenture) interest (including any Additional Interest) on, and any other Additional Amounts with respect to, such Debentures having a
principal amount equal to the Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities of such Holder (a “Direct Action”). In connection with any such Direct Action, the rights of the Holders of Common Securities will be subrogated to the rights of
any Holder of Capital Securities to the extent of any payment made by the Debenture Issuer or the Debenture Guarantor, as the case may be, to such Holder of Capital Securities as a result of such Direct Action. Except as set forth in
Section 5.14(b) and (c), or as otherwise contemplated by the Indenture, the Holders of Capital Securities shall have no right to exercise directly any right or remedy available to the holders of, or in respect of, the Debentures.

 Section 6.1 Limitations on Voting Rights. 
  
 (a)
Except as provided in this Section, in Sections 5.14, 8.10 and 10.2 and in the Indenture and as otherwise required by law, no Holder of Capital Securities shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the administration, operation
and management of the Trust or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the Trust Securities Certificates, be construed so as to constitute the Securityholders from time to time as
partners or members of an association. 
  
 (b) So long as any
Debentures are held by the Property Trustee, the Trustees shall not 
  
 (i) direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Debenture Trustee, or executing any trust or power conferred on the Debenture Trustee with respect to such Debentures,

  
 (ii) waive any past default which is waivable
under Section 5.13 of the Indenture, 
  
 (iii) exercise any right to rescind or annul a declaration that the principal of all the Debentures shall be due and payable, or 
  
 (iv) consent to any amendment, modification or termination of the Indenture or the Debentures, where such consent shall be required,

  
 without, in each case, obtaining the prior approval of the Holders of at least
a majority in Liquidation Amount of all Outstanding Capital Securities; provided, however, that where a consent under the Indenture would require the consent of each holder of Debentures affected thereby, no such consent shall be given by the
Property Trustee without the prior written consent of each Holder of Capital Securities. The Trustees shall not revoke any action previously authorized or approved by a vote of the Holders of Capital Securities, except by a subsequent vote of the
Holders of Capital Securities. The Property Trustee shall notify all Holders of the Capital Securities of any notice of default received from the Debenture Trustee with respect to the Debentures. In addition to obtaining the foregoing approvals of
the Holders of the Capital Securities, prior to taking any of the foregoing actions, the Trustees shall, at the expense of the Depositor, obtain an Opinion of Counsel rendered by counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that the Trust will
not be classified as an association taxable as a corporation for United States Federal income tax purposes on account of such action. 
  
 (c) If any proposed amendment to the Trust Agreement provides for, or the Trustees otherwise propose to effect, 
  

 29 

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

 
 Section 6.2 Notice of Meetings. 
  
 Notice of all meetings of the Capital Securityholders, stating the time,
place and purpose of the meeting, shall be given by the Property Trustee pursuant to Section 10.8 to each Capital Securityholder of record, at his registered address, at least 15 days and not more than 90 days before the meeting. At any such
meeting, any business properly before the meeting may be so considered whether or not stated in the notice of the meeting. Any adjourned meeting may be held as adjourned without further notice. 
  
 Section 6.3 Meetings of Capital Securityholders. 
  
 No annual meeting of Securityholders is required to be held. The
Administrative Trustees, however, shall call a meeting of Securityholders to vote on any matter upon the written request of the Capital Securityholders of record of 25% of the Capital Securities (based upon their Liquidation Amount) and the
Administrative Trustees or the Property Trustee may, at any time in their discretion, call a meeting of Capital Securityholders to vote on any matters as to which Capital Securityholders are entitled to vote. Capital Securityholders of record of 50%
of the Outstanding Capital Securities (based upon their Liquidation Amount), present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of Securityholders. If a quorum is present at a meeting, an affirmative vote by the Capital
Securityholders of record present, in person or by proxy, holding a majority of the Capital Securities (based upon their Liquidation Amount) held by the Capital Securityholders of record present, either in person or by proxy, at such meeting shall
constitute the action of the Securityholders, unless this Trust Agreement requires a greater number of affirmative votes. 
  
 Section 6.4 Voting Rights. 
  
 Securityholders shall be entitled to one vote for each $1,000 of Liquidation Amount represented by their Trust Securities in respect of any matter as to
which such Securityholders are entitled to vote. 
  

 30 

 Section 6.5 Proxies, etc. 
  

At any meeting of Securityholders, any Securityholder entitled to vote thereat may vote by proxy, provided that no proxy shall be voted at any meeting
unless it shall have been placed on file with the Administrative Trustees, or with such other officer or agent of the Trust as the Administrative Trustees may direct, for verification prior to the time at which such vote shall be taken. Pursuant to
a resolution of the Property Trustee, proxies may be solicited in the name of the Property Trustee or one or more officers of the Property Trustee. Only Securityholders of record shall be entitled to vote. When Trust Securities are held jointly by
several Persons, any one of them may vote at any meeting in person or by proxy in respect of such Trust Securities, but if more than one of them shall be present at such meeting in person or by proxy, and such joint owners or their proxies so
present disagree as to any vote to be cast, such vote shall not be received in respect of such Trust Securities. A proxy purporting to be executed by or on behalf of a Securityholder shall be deemed valid unless challenged at or prior to its
exercise, and the burden of proving invalidity shall rest on the challenger. No proxy shall be valid more than three years after its date of execution. 
  
 Section 6.6 Securityholder Action by Written Consent. 
  
 Any required approval or action which may be given or taken by Securityholders at a meeting convened for such purpose may be given or taken without a
meeting and without prior notice if Securityholders holding a majority of all Outstanding Trust Securities (based upon their Liquidation Amount) entitled to vote in respect of such action (or such larger proportion thereof as shall be required by
any express provision of this Trust Agreement) shall consent to the action in writing. 
  
 Section 6.7 Record Date for Voting and Other Purposes. 
  
 For the purposes of determining the Securityholders who are entitled to notice of and to vote at any meeting or to act by written consent, or to participate in any distribution on the Trust Securities in respect of which a record date is
not otherwise provided for in this Trust Agreement, or for the purpose of any other action, the Administrative Trustees may from time to time fix a date, not more than 90 days prior to the date of any meeting of Securityholders or the payment of a
distribution or other action, as the case may be, as a record date for the determination of the identity of the Securityholders of record for such purposes. 
  
 Section 6.8 Acts of Securityholders. 
  
 Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Trust Agreement to be given, made or
taken by Securityholders or Owners may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Securityholders or Owners in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to an Administrative Trustee. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes
referred 

  

 31 

 
to as the “Act” of the Securityholders or Owners signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing
appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Trust Agreement and (subject to Section 8.1) conclusive in favor of the Trustees, if made in the manner provided in this Section. The fact and date of the execution by any
Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing
such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority.
The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which any Trustee receiving the same deems sufficient. The ownership of Capital
Securities shall be proved by the Securities Register. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Securityholder of any Trust Security shall bind every future Securityholder of the same Trust Security
and the Securityholder of every Trust Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustees or the Trust in reliance thereon,
whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Trust Security. Without limiting the foregoing, a Securityholder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Trust Security may do so with regard to all or
any part of the Liquidation Amount of such Trust Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such Liquidation Amount. If any dispute shall arise between the
Securityholders and the Administrative Trustees or among such Securityholders or Trustees with respect to the authenticity, validity or binding nature of any request, demand, authorization, direction, consent, waiver or other Act of such
Securityholder or Trustee under this Article VI, then the determination of such matter by the Property Trustee shall be conclusive with respect to such matter. 
  

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

 33 

 Section 7.2 Representations and Warranties of Depositor. 
  
 The Depositor hereby represents and warrants for the benefit of the
Securityholders that the Trust Securities Certificates issued at each Time of Delivery on behalf of the Trust have been duly authorized and will have been, duly and validly executed, issued and delivered by the Trustees pursuant to the terms and

 ARTICLE VIII. 
 THE TRUSTEES 
  
 Section 8.1 Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

  
 (a) The duties and responsibilities of the Trustees shall be
as provided by this Trust Agreement and, in the case of the Property Trustee, subject to the Trust Indenture Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Trust Agreement shall require the Trustees to expend or risk their own funds or
otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of their duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of their rights or powers, if they shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity
against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Trust Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustees shall
be subject to the provisions of this Section. To the extent that, at law or in equity, an Administrative Trustee has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Trust or to the Securityholders, such Administrative
Trustee shall not be liable to the Trust or to any Securityholder for such Trustee’s good faith reliance on the provisions of this Trust Agreement. The provisions of this Trust Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and
liabilities of the Administrative Trustees otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Depositor and the Securityholders to replace such other duties and liabilities of the Administrative Trustees. 
  
 (b) All payments made by the Property Trustee or a Paying Agent in respect of
the Trust Securities shall be made only from the revenue and proceeds from the Trust Property and only to the extent that there shall be sufficient revenue or proceeds from the Trust Property to enable the Property Trustee or a Paying Agent to make
payments in accordance with the terms hereof. Each Securityholder, by its acceptance of a Trust Security, agrees that it will look solely to the revenue and proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent legally available for distribution to it as
herein provided and that the Trustees are not personally liable to it for any amount distributable in respect of any Trust Security or for any other liability in respect of any Trust Security. This Section 8.1(b) does not limit the liability of
the Trustees expressly set forth elsewhere in this Trust Agreement and, in the case of the Property Trustee, in the Trust Indenture Act. 
  

 34 

 (c) No provision of this Trust Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Property Trustee from
liability for its own bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct, except that: (i) the Property Trustee undertakes to perform only those duties specifically set forth in this Agreement, provided that, it must exercise the same degree of care
as a prudent person would exercise in the conduct of his or her own affairs; (ii) the Property Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by an authorized officer of the Property Trustee, unless it shall be proved
that the Property Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; (iii) the Property Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the
Holders of not less than a majority in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Property Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon
the Property Trustee under this Trust Agreement; (iv) the Property Trustee’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safe keeping and physical preservation of the Debentures and the Payment Account shall be to deal with such Property in a
similar manner as the Property Trustee deals with similar property for its own account, subject to the protections and limitations on liability afforded to the Property Trustee under this Trust Agreement and the Trust Indenture Act; (v) the
Property Trustee shall not be liable for any interest on any money received by it except as it may otherwise agree with the Depositor; and money held by the Property Trustee need not be segregated from other funds held by it except in relation to
the Payment Account maintained by the Property Trustee pursuant to Section 3.1 and except to the extent otherwise required by law; and (vi) the Property Trustee shall not be responsible for monitoring the compliance by the Administrative
Trustees or the Depositor with their respective duties under this Trust Agreement, nor shall the Property Trustee be liable for the default or misconduct of the Administrative Trustees or the Depositor. 
  
 Section 8.2 Certain Notices. 
  
 Within ninety (90) Days after the occurrence of any Event of Default
actually known to the Property Trustee, the Property Trustee shall transmit, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 10.8, notice of such Event of Default to the Securityholders, the Administrative Trustees and the Depositor, unless
such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived. Within five Business Days after the receipt of notice of the Debenture Issuer’s exercise of its right to defer the payment of interest on the Debentures pursuant to the Indenture, the
Administrative Trustees shall transmit, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 10.8, notice of such exercise to the Securityholders and the Property Trustee, unless such exercise shall have been revoked. 
  
 Section 8.3 Certain Rights of Property Trustee. 
  
 Subject to the provisions of Section 8.1: 
  
 (a) the Property Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or
refraining from acting in good faith upon any resolution, Opinion of Counsel, certificate, written representation of a Holder or transferee, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
consent, order, appraisal, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; 
  

 35 

 (b) if (i) in performing its duties under this Trust Agreement the Property Trustee is required to
decide between alternative courses of action or (ii) in construing any of the provisions of this Trust Agreement the Property Trustee finds the same ambiguous or inconsistent with any other provisions contained herein or (iii) the Property
Trustee is unsure of the application of any provision of this Trust Agreement, then, except as to any matter as to which the Capital Securityholders are entitled to vote under the terms of this Trust Agreement, the Property Trustee shall deliver a
notice to the Depositor requesting written instructions of the Depositor as to the course of action to be taken and the Property Trustee shall take such action, or refrain from taking such action, as the Property Trustee shall be instructed in
writing to take, or to refrain from taking, by the Depositor and the Property Trustee shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with such instructions; provided, however, that if the Property Trustee does not receive such instructions of the
Depositor within ten (10) Business Days after it has delivered such notice, or such reasonably shorter period of time set forth in such notice (which to the extent practicable shall not be less than two (2) Business Days), it may, but
shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action not inconsistent with this Trust Agreement as it shall deem advisable and in the best interests of the Securityholders, in which event the Property Trustee shall have no liability
except for its own bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct; 
  
 (c) any direction or act of the Depositor or the Administrative Trustees contemplated by this Trust Agreement shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate; 
  
 (d) whenever in the administration of this Trust Agreement, the Property Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be
established before undertaking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Property Trustee (unless other evidence is herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, request and rely upon an Officers’
Certificate which, upon receipt of such request, shall be promptly delivered by the Depositor or the Administrative Trustees; 
  
 (e) the Property Trustee shall have no duty to see to any recording, filing or registration of any instrument (including any financing or continuation
statement or any filing under tax or securities laws) or any rerecording, refiling or reregistration thereof; 
  
 (f) the Property Trustee may consult with counsel (which counsel may be counsel to the Depositor or any of its Affiliates, and may include any of its
employees) and the advice of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon and in accordance with such advice; the
Property Trustee shall have the right at any time to seek instructions concerning the administration of this Trust Agreement from any court of competent jurisdiction; 
  
 (g) the Property Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Trust
Agreement at the request or direction of any of the Securityholders pursuant to this Trust Agreement, unless such Securityholders shall have offered to the Property Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities
which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction; 
  

 36 

 (h) the Property Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in
any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by one or more
Securityholders, but the Property Trustee may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit; 
  
 (i) the Property Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through its agents or
attorneys, provided that the Property Trustee shall be responsible for its own negligence or recklessness with respect to selection of any agent or attorney appointed by it hereunder; 
  
 (j) whenever in the administration of this Trust Agreement the Property Trustee shall deem it desirable to receive
instructions with respect to enforcing any remedy or right or taking any other action hereunder, the Property Trustee (i) may request instructions from the Holders of the Trust Securities which instructions may only be given by the Holders of
the same proportion in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities as would be entitled to direct the Property Trustee under the terms of the Trust Securities in respect of such remedy, right or action, (ii) may refrain from enforcing such
remedy or right or taking such other action until such instructions are received, and (iii) shall be protected in acting in accordance with such instructions; and 
  
 (k) except as otherwise expressly provided by this Trust Agreement, the Property Trustee shall not be under any obligation
to take any action that is discretionary under the provisions of this Trust Agreement. 
  
 No provision of this Trust Agreement shall be deemed to impose any duty or obligation on the Property Trustee to perform any act or acts or exercise any right, power, duty or obligation conferred or imposed on it, in
any jurisdiction in which it shall be illegal, or in which the Property Trustee shall be unqualified or incompetent in accordance with applicable law, to perform any such act or acts, or to exercise any such right, power, duty or obligation. No
permissive power or authority available to the Property Trustee shall be construed to be a duty. 
  
 Section 8.4 Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities. 
  
 The recitals contained herein and in the Trust Securities Certificates shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor, and the Trustees do not assume
any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustees shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Debenture Issuer of the proceeds of the Debentures. 
  
 Section 8.5 May hold Securities. 
  
 Any Trustee or any other agent of any Trustee or the Trust, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Trust Securities
and, except as otherwise provided in the definition of “Outstanding” in Article I and subject to Sections 8.8 and 8.13, may otherwise deal with the Trust with the same rights it would have if it were not a Trustee or such other agent.

  

 37 

 Section 8.6 Compensation; Indemnity; Fees. 
  
 The Depositor agrees: 
  
 (a) to pay to the Trustees from time to time reasonable compensation for all services rendered by them hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited
by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust); 
  
 (b) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustees upon request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustees in accordance with any provision of
this Trust Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct;
and 
  
 (c) to indemnify each of the Trustees and their agents,
officers, directors and employees or any predecessor Trustee for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, damage, claims, liability, penalty or expense incurred without bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct on their part, arising out of
or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Trust Agreement, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties
hereunder. 
  
 The provisions of this Section 8.6 shall
survive the termination of this Trust Agreement or the resignation or removal of any Trustee. No Trustee may claim any lien or charge on any Trust Property as a result of any amount due pursuant to this Section 8.6. 
  
 Section 8.7 Corporate Property Trustee Required; Eligibility of Trustees. 
  
 (a) There shall at all times be a Property Trustee hereunder. The Property
Trustee shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If any such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to
the requirements of its supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of
condition so published. If at any time the Property Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter
specified in this Article. 
  
 (b) There shall at all times be one
or more Administrative Trustees hereunder. Each Administrative Trustee shall be either a natural person who is at least 21 years of age or a legal entity that shall act through one or more persons authorized to bind that entity. 
  
 (c) There shall at all times be a Delaware Trustee. The Delaware Trustee
shall either be (i) a natural person who is at least 21 years of age and a resident of the State of Delaware or (ii) a legal entity with its principal place of business in the State of Delaware and that otherwise meets the requirements of
applicable Delaware law that shall act through one or more persons authorized to bind such entity. 
  

 38 

 Section 8.8 Conflicting Interests. 
  
 If the Property Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the
Property Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Trust Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, the Depositor and any Trustee
may engage in or possess an interest in other business ventures of any nature or description, independently or with others, similar or dissimilar to the business of the Trust, and the Trust and the Holders shall have no rights by virtue of this
Trust Agreement in and to such independent ventures or the income or profits derived therefrom, and the pursuit of any such venture, even if competitive with the business of the Trust, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper. Neither the Depositor,
nor any Trustee, shall be obligated to present any particular investment or other opportunity to the Trust even if such opportunity is of a character that, if presented to the Trust, could be taken by the Trust, and the Depositor or any Trustee
shall have the right to take for its own account (individually or as a partner or fiduciary) or to recommend to others any such particular investment or other opportunity. Any Trustee may engage in any financial or other transaction with the
Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor, or may act as depository for, trustee or agent for, or act on any committee or body of holders of, securities or other obligations of the Depositor or its Affiliates. 
  
 Section 8.9 Co-Trustees and Separate Trustee. 
  
 Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any
time or times, for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of the Trust Indenture Act or of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Property may at the time be located, the Depositor and the Administrative Trustees, by agreed action of
the majority of such Trustees, shall have power to appoint, and upon the written request of the Administrative Trustees, the Depositor shall for such purpose join with the Administrative Trustees in the execution, delivery, and performance of all
instruments and agreements necessary or proper to appoint, one or more Persons approved by the Property Trustee either to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Property Trustee, of all or any part of such Trust Property, or to the extent required by
law to act as separate trustee of any such property, in either case with such powers as may be provided in the instrument of appointment, and to vest in such Person or Persons in the capacity aforesaid, any property, title, right or power deemed
necessary or desirable, subject to the other provisions of this Section. If the Depositor does not join in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in case a Debenture Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Property Trustee alone shall have power to make such appointment. Any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed pursuant to this Section shall either be (i) a natural person who is at least 21 years of age and a resident of the
United States or (ii) a legal entity with its principal place of business in the United States that shall act through one or more persons authorized to bind such entity. Should any written instrument from the Depositor be required by any
co-trustee or separate trustee so appointed for more fully confirming to such co-trustee or separate trustee such property, title, right, or power, any and all 

  

 39 

 
such instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Depositor. Every co-trustee or separate trustee shall, to the extent
permitted by law, but to such extent only, be appointed subject to the following terms, namely: 
  
 (a) The Trust Securities shall be executed and delivered and all rights, powers, duties, and obligations hereunder in respect of the custody of
securities, cash and other personal property held by, or required to be deposited or pledged with, the Trustees specified hereunder, shall be exercised, solely by such Trustees and not by such co-trustee or separate trustee. 
  
 (b) The rights, powers, duties, and obligations hereby conferred or imposed
upon the Property Trustee in respect of any property covered by such appointment shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Property Trustee or by the Property Trustee and such co-trustee or separate trustee jointly, as
shall be provided in the instrument appointing such co-trustee or separate trustee, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed, the Property Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified
to perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such co-trustee or separate trustee. 
  
 (c) The Property Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing executed by it, with the written concurrence of the Depositor, may accept the
resignation of or remove any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed under this Section, and, in case a Debenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Property Trustee shall have power to accept the resignation of, or remove, any
such co-trustee or separate trustee without the concurrence of the Depositor. Upon the written request of the Property Trustee, the Depositor shall join with the Property Trustee in the execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and
agreements necessary or proper to effectuate such resignation or removal. A successor to any co-trustee or separate trustee so resigned or removed may be appointed in the manner provided in this Section. 
  
 (d) No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by
reason of any act or omission of the Property Trustee or any other trustee hereunder. 
  
 (e) The Property Trustee shall not be liable by reason of any act of a co-trustee or separate trustee. 
  
 (f) Any Act of Holders delivered to the Property Trustee shall be deemed to have been delivered to each such co-trustee and separate trustee. 

 
 Section 8.10 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. 
  
 No resignation or removal of any Trustee (the “Relevant Trustee”)
and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11. Subject to the immediately
preceding sentence, the Relevant Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Trust Securities by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor. If the instrument of acceptance by the successor Trustee required by Section 8.11 shall not
have been 

  

 40 

 
delivered to the Relevant Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the Relevant Trustee may petition, at the expense of the
Depositor, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Relevant Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities. Unless a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any Trustee may be removed at any
time by Act of the Common Securityholder. If a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, or both of them, may be removed at such time by Act of the Holders of a majority in
Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities, delivered to the Relevant Trustee (in its individual capacity and on behalf of the Trust). In no event will the Holders of Capital Securities have the right to vote to appoint, remove or replace the
Administrative Trustees. An Administrative Trustee may be removed by Act of the Common Securityholder at any time. If any Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting as Trustee, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of any
Trustee for any cause, at a time when no Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Common Securityholder, by Act of the Common Securityholder delivered to the retiring Trustee, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee
or Trustees with respect to the Trust Securities and the Trust, and the retiring Trustee shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11. If the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable
of continuing to act as the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, at a time when a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Capital Securityholders, by Act of the Securityholders of a majority in
Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities then Outstanding delivered to the retiring Relevant Trustee, shall promptly appoint a successor Relevant Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Trust Securities and the Trust, and such successor Trustee
shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11. If an Administrative Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting as Administrative Trustee, at a time when a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Common Securityholder by Act of the Common Securityholder delivered to the Administrative Trustee shall promptly appoint a successor Administrative Trustee or Administrative Trustees with respect to the Trust Securities and the
Trust, and such successor Administrative Trustee or Trustees shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11. If no successor Relevant Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities shall have been so appointed by the Common
Securityholder or the Capital Securityholders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 8.11, any Securityholder who has been a Securityholder of Trust Securities for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others
similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Relevant Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities. The Depositor shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Property Trustee
or the Delaware Trustee and each appointment of a successor Property Trustee or Delaware Trustee to all Securityholders in the manner provided in Section 10.8. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Relevant Trustee and the address
of its Corporate Trust Office if it is the Property Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Trust Agreement, in the event any Administrative Trustee or a Delaware Trustee who is a natural person dies or becomes, in the
opinion of the Depositor, incompetent or incapacitated, the vacancy created by such death, incompetence or incapacity may be filled by (a) the unanimous act of remaining Administrative Trustees if there are at least two of them or
(b) otherwise by the Depositor (with the successor in each case being a Person who satisfies the eligibility requirement for Administrative Trustees set forth in Section 8.7). 
  

 41 

 Section 8.11 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. 
  
 In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge
and deliver to the Trust and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Depositor or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an
instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and if the Property Trustee is the resigning Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to the successor Trustee all property and money
held by such retiring Property Trustee hereunder. In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Relevant Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities and the Trust, the retiring Relevant Trustee and each successor Relevant Trustee with respect
to the Trust Securities shall execute and deliver an amendment hereto wherein each successor Relevant Trustee shall accept such appointment and which 
  
 (a) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Relevant Trustee all the
rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Relevant Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities and the Trust and 
  
 (b) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Trust Agreement as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the
trusts hereunder by more than one Relevant Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such amendment shall constitute such Relevant Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Relevant Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or
trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Relevant Trustee and upon the execution and delivery of such amendment the resignation or removal of the retiring Relevant Trustee shall become
effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Relevant Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Relevant Trustee with respect to the
Trust Securities and the Trust; but, on request of the Trust or any successor Relevant Trustee such retiring Relevant Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Relevant Trustee all Trust Property, all proceeds thereof and
money held by such retiring Relevant Trustee hereunder with respect to the Trust Securities and the Trust. Upon request of any such successor Relevant Trustee, the Trust shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in
and confirming to such successor Relevant Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the first or second preceding paragraph, as the case may be. No successor Relevant Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such
acceptance such successor Relevant Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article. 
  

 42 

 Section 8.12 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. 
  
 Any corporation into which the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee (or
any Administrative Trustee that is not a natural person) may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Relevant Trustee shall be a party,
shall be the successor of such Relevant Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties
hereto. 
  
 Section 8.13 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Depositor,
Debenture Issuer or Trust. 
  
 If and when the Property Trustee
or the Delaware Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Depositor, the Debenture Issuer or the Trust (or any other obligor upon the Debentures or the Trust Securities), the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, shall be
subject to and shall take all actions necessary in order to comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Depositor, Debenture Issuer or Trust (or any such other obligor). 
  
 Section 8.14 Reports by Property Trustee. 
  
 (a) Within 60 days after May 15 of each year commencing with the first
May 15 following the first issuance of Capital Securities pursuant to this Trust Agreement, the Property Trustee shall transmit to all Securityholders in accordance with Section 10.8, and to the Depositor, a brief report dated as of such
May 15 with respect to: (i) its eligibility under Section 8.7 or, in lieu thereof, if to the best of its knowledge it has continued to be eligible under said Section, a written statement to such effect; (ii) a statement that the
Property Trustee has complied with all of its obligations under this Trust Agreement during the twelve-month period (or, in the case of the initial report, the period since the Closing Time) ending with such May 15 or, if the Property Trustee
has not complied in any material respect with such obligations, a description of such noncompliance; and (iii) any change in the property and funds in its possession as Property Trustee since the date of its last report and any action taken by
the Property Trustee in the performance of its duties hereunder which it has not previously reported and which in its opinion materially affects the Trust Securities. 
  
 (b) In addition the Property Trustee shall transmit to Securityholders such reports concerning the Property Trustee and its
actions under this Trust Agreement as may be required pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act at the times and in the manner provided pursuant thereto. 
  

 43 

 Section 8.15 Reports to the Property Trustee. 
  
 The Depositor and the Administrative Trustees on behalf of the Trust shall provide to the Property Trustee such documents,
reports and information as required by Section 314 of the Trust Indenture Act (if any) and the compliance certificate required by Section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act in the form, in the manner and at the times required by
Section 314 of the Trust Indenture Act. 
  
 Section 8.16 Evidence of
Compliance with Conditions Precedent. 
  
 Each of the Depositor
and the Administrative Trustees on behalf of the Trust shall provide to the Property Trustee such evidence of compliance with any conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Trust Agreement that relate to any of the matters set forth in
Section 314 (c) of the Trust Indenture Act. Any certificate or opinion required to be given by an officer pursuant to Section 314(c)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act shall be given in the form of an Officers’ Certificate.

  
 Section 8.17 Number of Trustees. 
  
 (a) The number of Trustees shall be four, provided that the Holder of all of
the Common Securities by written instrument may increase or decrease the number of Administrative Trustees. The Property Trustee and the Delaware Trustee may be the same person if the Property Trustee meets the applicable requirements. 

 
 (b) If a Trustee ceases to hold office for any reason and the number of
Administrative Trustees is not reduced pursuant to Section 8.17(a), or if the number of Trustees is increased pursuant to Section 8.17(a), a vacancy shall occur. The vacancy shall be filled with a Trustee appointed in accordance with
Section 8.10. 
  
 (c) The death, resignation, retirement,
removal, bankruptcy, incompetence or incapacity to perform the duties of a Trustee shall not operate to annul, dissolve or terminate the Trust. Whenever a vacancy in the number of Administrative Trustees shall occur, until such vacancy is filled by
the appointment of an Administrative Trustee in accordance with Section 8.10, the Administrative Trustees in office, regardless of their number (and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement), shall have all the powers granted to
the Administrative Trustees and shall discharge all the duties imposed upon the Administrative Trustees by this Trust Agreement. 
  
 Section 8.18 Delegation of Power. 
  
 (a) Any Administrative Trustee may, by power of attorney consistent with applicable law, delegate to any other natural person over the age of 21 his or
her power for the purpose of executing any documents contemplated in Section 2.7(a), including any registration statement or amendment thereto filed with the Commission, or making any other governmental filing; and 
  
 (b) The Administrative Trustees shall have power to delegate from time to
time to such of their number or to the Depositor the doing of such things and the execution of such instruments 

  

 44 

 
either in the name of the Trust or the names of the Administrative Trustees or otherwise as the Administrative Trustees may deem expedient, to the extent
such delegation is not prohibited by applicable law or contrary to the provisions of the Trust, as set forth herein. 
  
 ARTICLE IX. 
 DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION, TERMINATION AND MERGER 
  
 Section 9.1 Dissolution upon Expiration Date. 
  
 Unless earlier dissolved, the Trust shall automatically dissolve on
March 31, 2055 (the “Expiration Date”). 
  
 Section 9.2 Early
Dissolution. 
  
 The first to occur of any of the following
events is an “Early Termination Event”, upon the occurrence of which the Trust shall be dissolved: 
  
 (a) the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event in respect of, or the dissolution or liquidation of, the Debenture Issuer or the Debenture Guarantor; 

 
 (b) the written direction to the Property Trustee from the Depositor at
any time (which direction is optional and wholly within the discretion of the Depositor) to dissolve the Trust and distribute a Like Amount of Debentures to Securityholders in exchange for the Trust Securities; 
  
 (c) the redemption of all of the Trust Securities in connection with the
redemption of all the Debentures; and 
  
 (d) the entry of an
order for dissolution of the Trust by a court of competent jurisdiction. 
  
 Section 9.3 Termination. 
  
 The respective
obligations and responsibilities of the Trustees and the Trust shall terminate upon the latest to occur of the following: 
  
 (a) the distribution by the Property Trustee to Securityholders upon the liquidation of the Trust pursuant to Section 9.4, or upon the redemption of
all of the Trust Securities pursuant to Section 4.2, of all amounts required to be distributed hereunder upon the final payment of the Trust Securities; 
  
 (b) the payment of any expenses owed by the Trust; and 
  
 (c) the discharge of all administrative duties of the Administrative Trustees, including the performance of any tax reporting obligations with respect to
the Trust or the Securityholders. 
  

 45 

 Section 9.4 Liquidation. 
  

(a) If an Early Termination Event specified in clause (a), (b), or (d) of Section 9.2 occurs or upon the Expiration Date, the Trust shall be
liquidated by the Trustees as expeditiously as the Trustees determine to be possible by distributing, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Trust as provided by applicable law, to each Securityholder a Like Amount of Debentures,
subject to Section 9.4(e). 
  
 (b) Notice of liquidation
shall be given by the Property Trustee by first-class mail, postage prepaid mailed not later than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Liquidation Date to each Holder of Trust Securities at such Holder’s address appearing in the Securities
Register. All notices of liquidation shall: (i) state the Liquidation Date; (ii) state that from and after the Liquidation Date, the Trust Securities will no longer be deemed to be Outstanding and any Trust Securities Certificates not
surrendered for exchange will be deemed to represent a Like Amount of Debentures; and (iii) provide such information with respect to the mechanics by which Holders may exchange Trust Securities Certificates for Debentures, or if
Section 9.4(e) applies, receive a Liquidation Distribution, as the Administrative Trustees or the Property Trustee shall deem appropriate. 
  
 (c) Except where Section 9.2(c) or 9.4(e) applies, in order to effect the liquidation of the Trust and distribution of the Debentures to
Securityholders, the Property Trustee shall establish a record date for such distribution (which shall be not more than 45 days prior to the Liquidation Date) and, either itself acting as exchange agent or through the appointment of a separate
exchange agent, shall establish such procedures as it shall deem appropriate to effect the distribution of Debentures in exchange for the Outstanding Trust Securities Certificates. 
  
 (d) Except where Section 9.2(c) or 9.4(e) applies, on and after the Liquidation Date, (i) the Trust Securities
will no longer be deemed to be Outstanding, (ii) certificates representing a Like Amount of Debentures will be issued to the Holders of Trust Securities Certificates, upon surrender of such certificates to the Administrative Trustees or their
agent for exchange, (iii) any Trust Securities Certificates not so surrendered for exchange will be deemed to represent a Like Amount of Debentures, accruing interest at the rate provided for in the Debentures from the last Distribution Date on
which a Distribution was made on such Trust Securities Certificates until such certificates are so surrendered (and until such certificates are so surrendered, no payments of interest or principal will be made to Holders of Trust Securities
Certificates with respect to such Debentures) and (iv) all rights of Securityholders holding Trust Securities will cease, except the right of such Securityholders to receive Debentures upon surrender of Trust Securities Certificates.

  
 (e) In the event that, notwithstanding the other provisions of
this Section 9.4, whether because of an order for dissolution entered by a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise, distribution of the Debentures in the manner provided herein is determined by the Property Trustee not to be practical, the
Trust Property shall be liquidated, and the Trust shall be wound-up and terminated by the Property Trustee in such manner as the Property Trustee determines. In such event, Securityholders will be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Trust
available for distribution to Securityholders, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Trust as provided 

  

 46 

 
by applicable law, an amount equal to the Liquidation Amount per Trust Security plus accumulated and unpaid Distributions thereon to the date of payment
(such amount being the “Liquidation Distribution”). If, upon any such winding up, the Liquidation Distribution can be paid only in part because the Trust has insufficient assets available to pay in full the aggregate Liquidation
Distribution, then, subject to the next succeeding sentence, the amounts payable by the Trust on the Trust Securities shall be paid on a pro rata basis (based upon Liquidation Amounts). The Holder of the Common Securities will be entitled to receive
Liquidation Distributions upon any such dissolution pro rata (determined as aforesaid) with Holders of Capital Securities, except that, if a Debenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Capital Securities shall have a priority over
the Common Securities. 
  
 Section 9.5 Mergers, Consolidations, Amalgamations
or Replacements of the Trust. 
  
 The Trust may not merge with or
into, convert into, consolidate, amalgamate, or be replaced by, or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any corporation or other entity, except pursuant to this Section 9.5 or Section 9.4. The
Trust may, at the request of the Depositor, with the consent of only the Administrative Trustees and without the consent of the Holders of the Capital Securities, merge with or into, convert into, consolidate, amalgamate, or be replaced by or
convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to a trust organized as such under the laws of any State; provided, that (i) such successor entity either (a) expressly assumes all of the obligations of the
Trust with respect to the Capital Securities or (b) substitutes for the Capital Securities other securities having substantially the same terms as the Capital Securities (the “Successor Securities”) so long as the Successor Securities
rank the same as the Capital Securities rank in priority with respect to distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption and otherwise, (ii) the Depositor expressly appoints a trustee of such successor entity possessing the same powers
and duties as the Property Trustee as the holder of the Debentures, (iii) the Successor Securities are listed or traded, or any Successor Securities will be listed upon notification of issuance, on any national securities exchange or other
organization on which the Capital Securities are then listed or traded, if any, (iv) such merger, conversion, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not cause the Capital Securities (including any Successor
Securities) to be downgraded by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, (v) such merger, conversion, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not adversely affect the rights, preferences
and privileges of the Holders of the Capital Securities (including any Successor Securities) in any material respect, (vi) such successor entity has a purpose substantially identical to that of the Trust, (vii) prior to such merger,
conversion, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, the Depositor has received an Opinion of Counsel rendered by independent counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that (a) such merger, conversion,
consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the Holders of the Capital Securities (including any Successor Securities) in any material respect, and
(b) following such merger, conversion, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, neither the Trust nor such successor entity will be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act
and (viii) the Depositor (or any permitted successor or assignee) owns all of the common securities 

  

 47 

 
of such successor entity and guarantees the obligations of such successor entity under the Successor Securities at least to the extent provided by the
Guarantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trust shall not, except with the consent of holders of 100% in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities, consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, convert into, or be replaced by or convey,
transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any other entity or permit any other entity to consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, convert into, or replace it if such consolidation, amalgamation, merger,
conversion, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease would cause the Trust or the successor entity to be classified as other than a grantor trust for United States Federal income tax purposes. 
  
 ARTICLE X. 
 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 
  
 Section 10.1 Limitation of Rights of Securityholders. 
  
 The death or incapacity of any person having an interest, beneficial or otherwise, in Trust Securities shall not operate to terminate this Trust Agreement, nor entitle the legal representatives or heirs of such person or any Securityholder
for such person, to claim an accounting, take any action or bring any proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the arrangements contemplated hereby, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto
or any of them.

 (a) This Trust Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Trustees
and the Depositor, without the consent of any Securityholders, (i) to cure any ambiguity, correct or supplement any provision herein which may be inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to make any other provisions with respect to
matters or questions arising under this Trust Agreement, which shall not be inconsistent with the other provisions of this Trust Agreement, or (ii) to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of this Trust Agreement to such extent as shall be
necessary to ensure that the Trust will be classified for United States Federal income tax purposes as a grantor trust at all times that any Trust Securities are outstanding or to ensure that the Trust will not be required to register as an
investment company under the Investment Company Act; provided, however, that in the case of clause (i), such action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Securityholder. Any such amendments of this Trust Agreement
shall become effective when notice thereof is given to the Securityholders. 
  
 (b) Except as provided in Section 10.2(c) hereof, any provision of this Trust Agreement may be amended by the Trustees and the Depositor with (i) the consent of Trust Securityholders representing not less
than a majority (based upon Liquidation Amounts) of the Trust Securities then Outstanding and (ii) receipt by the Trustees of an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Trustees in
accordance with such amendment will not affect the Trust’s status as a grantor trust for United States Federal income tax purposes or the Trust’s exemption from status of an investment company under the Investment Company Act. 

 

 48 

 (c) In addition to and notwithstanding any other provision in this Trust Agreement, without the consent
of each affected Securityholder, this Trust Agreement may not be amended to (i) change the amount or timing of any Distribution on the Trust Securities or otherwise adversely affect the amount of any Distribution required to be made in respect
of the Trust Securities as of a specified date or (ii) restrict the right of a Securityholder to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such date. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, without the unanimous
consent of the Securityholders, this paragraph (c) of this Section 10.2 may not be amended. 
  
 (d) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Trust Agreement, no Trustee shall enter into or consent to any amendment to this Trust Agreement which
would cause the Trust to fail or cease to qualify for the exemption from status of an investment company under the Investment Company Act or fail or cease to be classified as a grantor trust for United States Federal income tax purposes. 

 
 (e) Notwithstanding anything in this Trust Agreement to the contrary, this
Trust Agreement may not be amended in a manner which imposes any additional obligation on the Depositor, the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee without the consent of the Depositor, the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may
be. 
  
 (f) In the event that any amendment to this Trust
Agreement is made, the Administrative Trustees shall promptly provide to the Depositor a copy of such amendment. 
  
 (g) Neither the Property Trustee nor the Delaware Trustee shall be required to enter into any amendment to this Trust Agreement which affects its own
rights, duties or immunities under this Trust Agreement. The Property Trustee shall be entitled to receive an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate stating that any amendment to this Trust Agreement is in compliance with this Trust
Agreement. 
  
 Section 10.3 Separability. 
  
 In case any provision in this Trust Agreement or in the Trust Securities
Certificates shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 This Trust Agreement and the rights and obligations of each of the Securityholders, the Trust and the Trustees with respect to this Trust Agreement and
the Trust Securities shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. 
  
 Section 10.5 Payments due on Non-Business Day. 
  
 If the date fixed for any payment on any Trust Security shall be a day that is not a Business Day, then such payment need not be made on such date but may be made on the next succeeding 

  

 49 

 
day that is a Business Day (except as otherwise provided in Sections 4.1(a) and 4.2(d)), with the same force and effect as though made on the date fixed for
such payment, and no interest shall accrue thereon for the period after such date. 
  
 Section 10.6 Successors. 
  
 This Trust Agreement
shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of any successor to the Depositor, the Trust or the Relevant Trustee, including any successor by operation of law. Except in connection with a consolidation, merger or sale involving the Depositor
that is permitted under Article Eight of the Indenture and pursuant to which the assignee agrees in writing to perform the Depositor’s obligations hereunder, the Depositor shall not assign its obligations hereunder.

 Section 10.9 Agreement not to Petition. 
  
 Each of the Trustees and the Depositor agree for the benefit of the Securityholders that, until at least one year and one
day after the Trust has been dissolved in accordance with Article IX, they shall not file, or join in the filing of, a petition against the Trust under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law (including, without limitation,
the United States Bankruptcy Code) (collectively, “Bankruptcy Laws”) or otherwise join in the commencement of any proceeding against the Trust under any Bankruptcy Law. In the event the Depositor takes action in violation of this
Section 10.9, the Property Trustee agrees, for the benefit of Securityholders, that at the expense of the Depositor, it shall file an answer with the bankruptcy court or otherwise properly contest the filing of such petition by the Depositor
against the Trust or the commencement of such action and raise the defense that the Depositor has agreed in writing not to take such action and should be stopped and precluded therefrom and such other defenses, if any, as counsel for the Trustee or
the Trust may assert. The provisions of this Section 10.9 shall survive the termination of this Trust Agreement. 
  
 Section 10.10 Trust Indenture Act; Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. 
  
 (a) This Trust Agreement is subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act that are required to be part of this Trust Agreement and shall, to the

Property Trustee shall be the only Trustee which is a trustee for the purposes of the Trust Indenture Act. 
  
  
 (c) If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof which is required to be included in
this Trust Agreement by any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall control. If any provision of this Trust Agreement modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act which may be so modified or
excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Trust Agreement as so modified or excluded, as the case may be. 
  
 (d) The application of the Trust Indenture Act to this Trust Agreement shall not affect the nature of the Trust Securities as equity securities
representing undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust. 
  

 51

	Attention:	  	John C. Drennan
	 	  	General Counsel’s Officer

  

	Re:	ACE Capital Trust II 9.70% Capital Securities 

  
 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
  
 The purpose of this letter is to set forth certain matters relating to the issuance and deposit with The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) of the
ACE Capital Trust II 9.70% Capital Securities (the “Capital Securities”) of ACE Capital Trust II, a Delaware business trust (the “Issuer”), governed by an Amended and Restated Trust Agreement among ACE INA Holdings Inc.
(“ACE INA”), Bank One Trust Company, National Association, as Property Trustee, Bank One Delaware, Inc., as Delaware Trustee, and the Administrative Trustees named therein (the “Trust Agreement”). The payment of distributions on
the Capital Securities, and payments due upon liquidation of the Issuer or redemption of the Capital Securities, to the extent the Issuer has funds available for the payment thereof are guaranteed by ACE Limited, a Cayman Islands company and the
parent of ACE INA (“ACE”), to the extent set forth in the Capital Securities Guarantee Agreement, dated March 31, 2000, between ACE and Bank One Trust Company, National Association, as Guarantee Trustee. ACE INA, ACE and the Issuer
propose to sell the Capital Securities to certain Underwriters (the “Underwriters”) pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, dated March 29, 2000, by and among the Underwriters, the Issuer, ACE INA and ACE and the Underwriters wish to
take delivery of the Capital Securities through DTC. Bank One Trust Company, National Association is acting as transfer agent and registrar with respect to the Capital Securities (the “Transfer Agent and Registrar”). 
  
 To induce DTC to accept the Capital Securities as eligible for deposit at
DTC, and to act in accordance with DTC’s rules with respect to the Capital Securities, the Issuer, the Transfer Agent and Registrar and DTC agree among each other as follows: 
  
 (1) Prior to the closing of the sale of the Capital Securities to the Underwrites, which is expected to occur on or about
March 31, 2000 there shall be deposited with DTC one or more global certificates (individually and collectively, the “Global Certificate”) registered in the name of DTC’s Capital Securities nominee, Cede & Co.,
representing an aggregate of Capital Securities and bearing the following legend: 
  

 B-1 

 Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a
New York corporation (“DTC”), to the Issuer or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange, or payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized
representative of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE, OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL
inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein. 
  
 (2) The Trust Agreement provides for the voting by holders of the Capital Securities under certain limited circumstances. The Issuer shall establish a record date for such purposes and shall, to the extent possible,
give DTC notice of such record date not less than 15 calendar days in advance of such record date. 
  
 (3) In the event of a stock split, conversion, recapitalization, reorganization or any other similar transaction resulting in the cancellation of all or
any part of the Capital Securities outstanding, the Issuer or the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall send DTC a notice of such event at least 5 business days prior to the effective date of such event. 
  
 (4) In the event of distribution on, or an offering or issuance of rights
with respect to, the Capital Securities outstanding, the Issuer or the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall send DTC a notice specifying: (a) the amount of and conditions, if any, applicable to the payment of any such distribution or any such
offering or issuance of rights; (b) any applicable expiration or deadline date, or any date by which any action on the part of the holders of Capital Securities is required; and (c) the date any required notice is to be mailed by or on
behalf of the Issuer to holders of Capital Securities or published by or on behalf of the Issuer (whether by mail or publication, the “Publication Date”). Such notice shall be sent to DTC by a secure means (e.g., legible telecopy,
registered or certified mail, overnight delivery) in a timely manner designed to assure that such notice is in DTC’s possession no later than the close of business on the business day before the Publication Date. The Issuer or the Transfer
Agent and Registrar will forward such notice either in a separate secure transmission for each CUSIP number or in a secure transmission of multiple CUSIP numbers (if applicable) that includes a manifest or list of each CUSIP number submitted in that
transmission. (The party sending such notice shall have a method to verify subsequently the use of such means and the timeliness of such notice.) The Publication Date shall be not less than 30 calendar days nor more than 60 calendar days prior to
the payment of any such distribution or any such offering or issuance of rights with respect to the Capital Securities. After establishing the amount of payment to be made on the Capital Securities, the Issuer or the Transfer Agent and Registrar
will notify DTC’s Dividend Department of such payment 5 business days prior to payment date. Notices to DTC’s Dividend Department by telecopy shall be sent to (212) 709-1723. Such notices by mail or by any other means shall be sent
to: 
  
 Manager, Announcements 
 Dividend Department 
 The Depository Trust
Company 
 7 Hanover Square, 23rd Floor 
 New York, New York 10004-2695. 
  

 B-2 

 The Issuer or the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall confirm DTC’s receipt of such telecopy by
telephoning the Dividend Department at (212) 709-1270. 
  
 (5) In the event of a redemption by the Issuer of the Capital Securities, notice specifying the terms of the redemption and the Publication Date of such notice shall be sent by the Issuer or the Transfer Agent and Registrar to DTC not less
than 30 calendar days prior to such event by a secure means in the manner set forth in paragraph 4. Such redemption notice shall be sent to DTC’s Call Notification Department at (516) 227-4164 or (516) 227-4190, and receipt of such
notice shall be confirmed by telephoning (516) 227-4070. Notice by mail or by any other means shall be sent to: 
  
 Call Notification Department 
 The Depository
Trust Company 
 711 Stewart Avenue 
 Garden City, New York 11530-4719. 
  
 (6) In the event of
any invitation to tender the Capital Securities, notice specifying the terms of the tender and the Publication Date of such notice shall be sent by the Issuer or the Transfer Agent and Registrar to DTC by a secure means and in a timely manner as
described in paragraph 4. Notices to DTC pursuant to this paragraph and notices of other corporate actions (including mandatory tenders, exchanges and capital changes) shall be sent, unless notification to another department is expressly provided
for herein, by telecopy to DTC’s Reorganization Department at (212) 709-1093 or (212) 709-1094 and receipt of such notice shall be confirmed by telephoning (212) 709-6884, or by mail or any other means to: 
  
 Manager, Reorganization Department 
 Reorganization Window 
 The Depository Trust
Company 
 7 Hanover Square, 23rd Floor 
 New York, New York 10004-2695. 
  
 (7) All notices and payment advices sent to DTC shall contain the CUSIP number or numbers of the Capital Securities and the
accompanying designation of the Capital Securities, which, as of the date of this letter, is ACE Capital Trust II 9.70% Capital Securities. 
  
 (8) Distribution payments or other cash payments with respect to the Capital Securities evidenced by the Global Certificate shall be received by
Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, or its registered assigns in next day funds on each payment date (or in accordance with existing arrangements between the Issuer or the Transfer Agent and Registrar and DTC). Such payments shall be made
payable to the order of Cede & Co., and shall be addressed as follows: 
  
 NDFS Redemption Department 
 The Depository Trust Company 
 7 Hanover Square, 23rd Floor 
 New York, New York 10004-2695. 
  

 B-3 

 (9) DTC may by prior written notice direct the Issuer and the Transfer Agent and Registrar to use any
other telecopy number or address of DTC as the number or address to which notices or payments may be sent. 
  
 (10) In the event of a conversion, redemption, or any other similar transaction (e.g., tender made and accepted in response to the Issuer’s or the
Transfer Agent and Registrar’s invitation) necessitating a reduction in the aggregate number of Capital Securities outstanding evidenced by Global Certificates, DTC, in its discretion: (a) may request the Issuer or the Transfer Agent and
Registrar to issue and countersign a new Global Certificate; or (b) may make an appropriate notation on the Global Certificate indicating the date and amount of such reduction. 
  
 (11) DTC may discontinue its services as a securities depositary with respect to the Capital Securities at any time by
giving at least 90 days’ prior written notice to the Issuer and the Transfer Agent and Registrar (at which time DTC will confirm with the Issuer or the Transfer Agent and Registrar the aggregate number of Capital Securities deposited with it)
and discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law. Under such circumstances, the Issuer may determine to make alternative arrangements for book-entry settlement for the Capital Securities, make available one or more
separate global certificates evidencing Capital Securities to any Participant having Capital Securities credited to its DTC account, or issue definitive Capital Securities to the beneficial holders thereof, and in any such case, DTC agrees to
cooperate fully with the Issuer and the Transfer Agent and Registrar, and to return the Global Certificate duly endorsed for transfer as directed by the Issuer or the Transfer Agent and Registrar, together with any other documents of transfer
reasonably requested by the Issuer of the Transfer Agent and Registrar. 
  
 (12) In the event that the Issuer determines that beneficial owners of Capital Securities shall be able to obtain definitive Capital Securities, the Issuer or the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall notify DTC of the availability of
certificates. In such event, the Issuer or the Transfer Agent and Registrar shall issue, transfer and exchange certificates in appropriate amounts, as required by DTC and others, and DTC agrees to cooperate fully with the Issuer and the Transfer
Agent and Registrar and to return the Global Certificate, duly endorsed for transfer as directed by the Issuer or the Transfer Agent and Registrar, together with any other documents of transfer reasonably requested by the Issuer or the Transfer
Agent and Registrar. 
  

 B-4 

 (13) This letter may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be
deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require the Transfer Agent and Registrar to advance funds on behalf of ACE Capital Trust II.

 [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY] 
  
 Distributions on each Common Security will be payable at a rate per annum of 9.70% (the “Distribution Rate”) of
the Liquidation Amount of $1,000 per Common Security, such rate being the rate of interest payable on the Debentures to be held by the Property Trustee. Distributions in arrears for more than one semiannual period will bear additional distributions
thereon compounded semiannually at the applicable periodic Distribution Rate (to the extent permitted by applicable law). The term “Distributions”, as used herein, includes any such additional distributions unless otherwise stated. A
Distribution is payable only to the extent that payments are made in respect of the Debentures held by the Property Trustee and to the extent the Property Trustee has funds legally available therefor. 
  
 Distributions on the Common Securities will be cumulative, will accumulate
from the most recent date to which Distributions have been paid or, if no Distributions have been paid, from March 31, 2000, to but excluding the related Distribution Date (as defined herein) or any date fixed for redemption (a “Redemption
Date”), and will be payable semiannually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing October 1, 2000 (each, a “Distribution Date”), except as otherwise described below and in the Trust Agreement. The
amount of Distributions payable for any Distribution Period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. “Distribution Period” means the period from and including the immediately preceding
Distribution Date (or March 31, 2000, in the case of the first Distribution Period) to but excluding the applicable Distribution Date or Redemption Date. If a Distribution Date is not a Business Day, then such Distribution Date and the first
day of the Distribution Period commencing on such Distribution Date will be the next succeeding Business Day and no interest or other payment in respect of any such delay shall accumulate for the period to but excluding such Business Day. However,
if the next succeeding Business Day is in the next calendar year, payment of Distributions will be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. 
  
 As long as no event of default has occurred and is continuing under the Indenture, the Debenture Issuer has the right under the Indenture to defer
payments of interest by extending the interest payment period at any time and from time to time on the Debentures for a period not exceeding 10 consecutive semiannual periods (each, an “Extension Period”), provided that an Extension Period
must end on an interest payment date for the Debentures and may not extend beyond the stated maturity date or Redemption Date for the Debentures. As a consequence of such deferral, Distributions will also be deferred. Despite such deferral,
semiannual Distributions will continue to accumulate with additional interest thereon (to the extent permitted by applicable law but not at a rate greater than the rate at which interest is then accruing on the Debentures) at the Distribution Rate
then in effect compounded semiannually during any such Extension Period. Prior to the termination of any such Extension Period, the Debenture Issuer may further defer payments of interest by further extending such Extension Period; provided that
such Extension Period, together with all such previous and further extensions, may not exceed 10 consecutive semiannual periods, must end on an interest payment date for the Debentures and may not extend beyond the maturity date or Redemption Date
of the Debentures. At the end of the Extension Period, all accumulated and unpaid Distributions (but only to the extent payments are made in respect of the Debentures held by the Property Trustee and to the extent the Property Trustee has funds
legally available therefor) will be payable to the Holders as they appear on the books and records of the Trust on the record date immediately preceding the end of the Extension Period. Upon the termination of any Extension Period and the payment of
all amounts then due, the Debenture Issuer may commence a new Extension Period, subject to the foregoing requirements. 
  
 The Common Securities shall be redeemable as provided in the Trust Agreement.

 FORM OF AGREEMENT AS TO EXPENSES AND LIABILITIES 
  
 AGREEMENT dated as of March 31, 2000, between ACE Limited, a Cayman Islands company (“ACE”), and ACE Capital Trust II, a Delaware statutory

 WHEREAS,
ACE INA will directly or indirectly own all of the Common Securities of the Trust and will issue the Debentures; 
  
 WHEREAS, ACE will guarantee the obligations of ACE INA under the Debentures and has agreed to guarantee certain expenses and liabilities of the Trust as

 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the

 ARTICLE I 
  
 Section 1.1. Guarantee by ACE. 
  
 Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, ACE hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally guarantees to each person or entity to whom the Trust is now or hereafter becomes indebted or liable (the “Beneficiaries”) the full payment, when and as due, of any and all Obligations (as hereinafter defined) to such
Beneficiaries. As used herein, “Obligations” means any costs, expenses or liabilities of the Trust, other than obligations of the Trust to pay to holders of any Capital Securities or other similar interests in the Trust the amounts due
such holders pursuant to the terms of the Capital Securities or such other similar interests, as the case may be. This Agreement is intended to be for the benefit of, and to be enforceable by, all such Beneficiaries, whether or not such
Beneficiaries have received notice hereof. 
  
 Section 1.2.
Term of Agreement. 
  
 This Agreement shall terminate and be of
no further force and effect upon the later of (a) the date on which full payment has been made of all amounts payable to all holders of all the Capital Securities (whether upon redemption, liquidation, exchange or otherwise) and (b) the
date one which there are no Beneficiaries remaining; provided, however, that this Agreement shall 

  

 D-1 

 
continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any holder of Capital Securities or any Beneficiary must restore payment
of any sums paid under the Capital Securities, under any Obligation, under the Guarantee Agreement dated the date hereof between ACE, in its capacity as guarantor with respect to the Capital Securities, and Bank One Trust Company, National
Association, as guarantee trustee, or under this Agreement for any reason whatsoever. This Agreement is continuing, irrevocable, unconditional and absolute. 
  
 Section 1.3 Waiver of Notice. 
  
 ACE hereby waives notice of acceptance of this Agreement and of any Obligation to which it applies or may apply, and ACE hereby waives presentment, demand
for payment, protest, notices of nonpayment, notice of dishonor, notice of redemption and all other notices and demands. 
  
 Section 1.4. No Impairment. 
  
 The obligations, covenants, agreements and duties of ACE under this Agreement shall in no way be affected or impaired by reason of the happening from time
to time of any of the following: 
  
 (a) the
extension of time for the payment by the Trust of all or any portion of the Obligations or for the performance of any other obligation under, arising out of, or in connection with, the Obligations; 
  
 (b) any failure, omission, delay or lack of diligence on the
part of the Beneficiaries to enforce, assert or exercise any right, privilege, power or remedy conferred on the Beneficiaries with respect to the Obligations or any action on the part of the Trust granting indulgence or extension of any kind;

  
 (c) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution, sale of any collateral, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement composition or readjustment of debt of, or other similar proceedings affecting, the Trust or any of the
assets of the Trust. 
  
 There shall be no obligation of the
Beneficiaries to give notice to, or obtain the consent of, ACE with respect to the happening of any of the foregoing. 
  
 Section 1.5 Enforcement. 
  
 A Beneficiary may enforce this Agreement directly against ACE, and ACE waives any right or remedy to require that any action be brought against the Trust
or any other person or entity before proceeding against ACE. 
  
 Section 1.6. Subrogation. 
  
 ACE shall be
subrogated to all (if any) rights of the Trust in respect of any amounts paid to the Beneficiaries by ACE under this Agreement; provided, however, that ACE shall not (except to 

  

 D-2 

 
the extent required by mandatory provisions of law) be entitled to enforce or exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of subrogation or any
indemnity, reimbursement or other agreement, in all cases as a result of payment under this Agreement, if, at the time of any such payment, any amounts are due and unpaid under this Agreement. 
  
 ARTICLE II. 
  
 Section 2.1. Binding Effect. 
  

All guarantees and agreements contained in this Agreement shall bind the successors, assigns, receivers, trustees and representatives of ACE and shall
inure to the benefit of the Beneficiaries. 
  
 Section 2.2.
Amendment. 
  
 So long as there remains any Beneficiary or any
Capital Securities are outstanding, this Agreement shall not be modified or amended in any manner adverse to such Beneficiary or to the holders of the Capital Securities.

 [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY] 
  
 Distributions on each Capital Security will be payable at a rate per annum of 9.70% (the “Distribution Rate”) of
the Liquidation Amount of $1,000 per Capital Security, such rate being the rate of interest payable on the Debentures to be held by the Property Trustee. Distributions in arrears for more than one semiannual period will bear additional distributions
thereon compounded semiannually at the applicable periodic Distribution Rate (to the extent permitted by applicable law). The term “Distributions,” as used herein, includes any such additional distributions unless otherwise stated. A
Distribution is payable only to the extent that payments are made in respect of the Debentures held by the Property Trustee and to the extent the Property Trustee has funds legally available therefor. 
  
 Distributions on the Capital Securities will be cumulative, will accumulate
from the most recent date to which Distributions have been paid or, if no Distributions have been paid, from March 31, 2000, to but excluding the related Distribution Date (as defined herein) or any date fixed for redemption (a “Redemption
Date”) and will be payable semiannually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing October 1, 2000 (each, a “Distribution Date”), except as otherwise described below and in the Trust Agreement. The
amount of Distributions payable for any Distribution Period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. “Distribution Period” means the period from and including the immediately preceding
Distribution Date (or March 31, 2000, in the case of the first Distribution Period) to but excluding the applicable Distribution Date or Redemption Date. If a Distribution Date is not a Business Day, then such Distribution Date and the first
day of the Distribution Period commencing on such Distribution Date will be the next succeeding Business Day and no interest or other payment in respect of such delay shall accumulate for the period to but excluding such Business Day. However, if
the next succeeding Business Day is in the next calendar year, payment of the Distributions will be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. 
  
 As long as no event of default has occurred and is continuing under the Indenture, the Debenture Issuer has the right under the Indenture to defer
payments of interest by extending the interest payment period at any time and from time to time on the Debentures for a period not exceeding 10 consecutive semiannual periods (each, an “Extension Period”), provided that an Extension Period
must end on an interest payment date for the Debentures and may not extend beyond the stated maturity date or Redemption Date for the Debentures. As a consequence of such deferral, Distributions will also be deferred. Despite such deferral,
semiannual Distributions will continue to accumulate with additional interest thereon (to the extent permitted by applicable law but not at a rate greater than the rate at which interest is then accruing on the Debentures) at the Distribution Rate
then in effect compounded semiannually during any such Extension Period. Prior to the termination of any such Extension Period, the Debenture Issuer may further defer payments of interest by further extending such Extension Period; provided that
such Extension Period, together with all such previous and further extensions, may not exceed 10 consecutive semiannual periods, must end on an interest payment date for the Debentures and may not extend beyond the maturity date or Redemption Date
of the Debentures. At the end of the Extension Period, all accumulated and unpaid Distributions (but only to the extent payments are made in respect of the Debentures held by the Property Trustee and to the extent the Property Trustee has funds
available therefor) will be payable to the Holders as they appear on the books and records of the Trust on the record date immediately preceding the end of the Extension Period. Upon the termination of any Extension Period (or any extension period
thereof) and the payment of all amounts then due, the Debenture Issuer may commence a new Extension Period, subject to the foregoing requirements. 
  
 The Capital Securities shall be redeemable as provided in the Trust Agreement.
