holders of beneficial interests, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the
rights of the Depositary as Holder of any Security.

names of Persons other than the Depositary or its nominee or in the name of a successor to the

shall be exchangeable for Securities issuable in authorized denominations and registered in such
names as the Depositary holding this Security shall direct. Subject to the foregoing, this
Security

registered in the name of such Depositary or its nominee or in the name of a successor to the
Depositary or a nominee of such successor depositary.]

eligibility and qualifications to serve as Trustee by filing their names and addresses with the
Trustee for that purpose within two years preceding and mailing of any such annual report.]

     No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) or
interest on this Security, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based
on or in respect of the Indenture of any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator,
stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or any successor
corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement
of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and
as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

     All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings
assigned to them in the Indenture.

     This Security, including without limitation the obligation of the Company contained herein to

     (b) All Subordinated Securities of any one series and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto

Securities as to denomination and the differences herein specified between Registered Global
Subordinated Securities and Registered Subordinated Securities issued in definitive form and except
as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to such Board Resolution and set forth in such
Officer’s Certificate or Supplemental Subordinated Indenture relating to such series of

same time, and, unless otherwise provided in the Officer’s Certificate or Supplemental Subordinated
Indenture relating to such series, a series may be reopened for issuances of additional
Subordinated Securities of such series.

     SECTION 2.04. Authentication and Delivery of Subordinated Indentures.

          At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Subordinated
Indenture, the Company may deliver any series of Subordinated Securities having attached thereto
appropriate Coupons, if any, executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication by it
together with the applicable documents referred to below in this Section 2.04, and the Trustee
shall thereupon authenticate and deliver said Subordinated Securities (or if only a single
Subordinated Security, such Subordinated Security) and Coupons, if any, to or upon the written
order of the Company, signed by an officer of the Company, without any further corporate action.
The maturity date, original issue date, interest rate and any other terms of the Subordinated
Securities of such series and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto shall be determined by or
pursuant to such Company Order and procedures. If provided for in such procedures, such Company
Order may authorize authentication and delivery pursuant to oral or electronic instructions from
the Company or its duly authorized agent or agents, which instructions, if oral, shall be promptly
confirmed in writing. In authenticating such Subordinated Securities and accepting the additional
responsibilities under this Subordinated Indenture in relation to such Subordinated Securities, the
Trustee shall be entitled to receive (in the case of subparagraphs (2), (3) and (4) below only at
or before the time of the first request of the Company to the Trustee to authenticate Subordinated
Securities of such series) and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon,
the following enumerated documents unless and until such documents have been superseded or revoked:

          (1) a Company Order requesting such authentication and setting forth delivery instructions if
the Subordinated Securities and Coupons, if any, are not to be delivered to the Company, provided
that, with respect to Subordinated Securities of a series subject to a Periodic Offering, (a) such
Company Order may be delivered by the Company to the Trustee prior to the delivery to the Trustee
of such Subordinated Securities for authentication and delivery, (b) the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver Subordinated Securities of such series for original issue from time to time, in an
aggregate principal amount not exceeding the aggregate principal amount established for such
series, pursuant to a Company Order or pursuant to procedures acceptable to the Trustee as may be
specified from time to time by a Company Order, (c) the maturity date or dates, original issue date
or dates, interest rate or rates and any other terms of Subordinated Securities of such series
shall be determined by a Company Order or pursuant to such procedures and (d) if provided for in
such procedures, such Company Order may authorize authentication and delivery pursuant to oral or
electronic instructions from the

11

 

Company or its duly authorized agent or agents, which instructions, if oral, shall be promptly confirmed in
writing;

          (2) any Board Resolution, Officer’s Certificate and/or executed Supplemental Subordinated
Indenture referred to in Section 2.01 and 2.03 by or pursuant to which the forms and terms of the
Subordinated Securities and Coupons, if any, were established;

          (3) an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the form or forms and terms of the Subordinated
Securities and Coupons, if any, stating that the form or forms and terms of the Subordinated
Securities and Coupons, if any, have been established pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 2.03 and comply
with this Subordinated Indenture, and covering such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably
request; and

          (4) At the option of the Company, either one or more Opinions of Counsel, or a letter
addressed to the Trustee permitting it to rely on one or more Opinions of Counsel, substantially to
the effect that:

               (a) the form or forms of the Subordinated Securities and Coupons, if any, have been duly
authorized and established in conformity with the provisions of this Subordinated Indenture;

               (b) in the case of an underwritten offering, the terms of the Subordinated Securities have
been duly authorized and established in conformity with the provisions of this Subordinated
Indenture, and, in the case of an offering that is not underwritten, certain terms of the
Subordinated Securities have been established pursuant to a Board Resolution, an Officer’s
Certificate or a Supplemental Subordinated Indenture in accordance with this Subordinated
Indenture, and when such other terms as are to be established pursuant to procedures set forth in a
Company Order shall have been established, all such terms will have been duly authorized by the
Company and will have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Subordinated
Indenture;

               (c) this Indenture and such Subordinated Securities, when executed and issued by the Company
and authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of this Subordinated Indenture
and duly paid for by the purchasers thereof, and subject to any conditions specified in such
Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, except as any
rights thereunder may be limited by the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
receivership, conservatorship, arrangement, moratorium or other laws affecting or relating to the
rights of creditors generally; the rules governing the availability of specific performance,
injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and general principles of equity, regardless of
whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law; the effect of applicable court decisions
invoking statutes or principles of equity, which have held that certain covenants and provisions of
agreements are unenforceable where the breach of such covenants or provisions imposes restrictions
or burdens upon a borrower, and it cannot be demonstrated that the enforcement of such restrictions
or burdens is necessary for the protection of the creditor, or which have held that the creditor’s
enforcement of such covenants or provisions under the circumstances would have violated the
creditor’s covenants of good faith and fair dealing implied under California law; and the effect of
California statutes and rules of law which cannot be waived prospectively by a borrower, and such
counsel need express no opinion with regard to

12

 

the enforceability of Section 7.06 or of a judgment denominated in a currency other than
United States Dollars; and

               (d) the Company has complied with all applicable Federal laws and requirements in respect of
the execution and delivery of such Subordinated Securities;

          (5) if the Securities are to be secured, a supplemental indenture conforming to the
requirements of Section 314 of the Trust Indenture Act and such other documents as may be required
by Section 314; and

          (6) if the Securities are to be convertible, a supplemental indenture conforming to the
requirements of Section 314 of the Trust Indenture Act and such other documents as may be required
by Section 314.

          In rendering such opinions, any counsel may qualify any opinions as to enforceability by
stating that such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
liquidation, moratorium, fraudulent transfer and other similar laws affecting the rights and
remedies of creditors and is subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such
enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). Such counsel may rely upon
opinions of other counsel (copies of which shall be delivered to the Trustee) reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee, in which case the opinion shall state that such counsel believes he
and the Trustee are entitled so to rely. Such counsel may also state that, insofar as such opinion
involves factual matters, he has relied, to the extent he deems proper, upon certificates of
officers of the Company and its subsidiaries and certificates of public officials.

          The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Subordinated
Securities under this section if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action
may not lawfully be taken by the Company or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors
or board of trustees, executive committee or a trust committee of directors or trustees shall
determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to existing Holders or
would affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Subordinated Securities, this
Subordinated Indenture or otherwise.

     SECTION 2.05. Execution of Subordinated Securities. The Subordinated Securities and
each Coupon appertaining thereto, if any, shall be executed manually or in facsimile, by any two of
the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, the President, and Vice President, the
Secretary, any Assistant Secretary, the Chief Financial Officer, the Treasurer or any Assistant
Treasurer of the Company under its corporate seal (except in the case of Coupons), which may be
affixed thereto or printed, engraved or otherwise reproduced thereon, by facsimile or otherwise.
Only such Subordinated Securities or Coupons, if any, as shall bear thereon a certificate of
authentication substantially in the form recited herein, executed by the Trustee manually by an
authorized officer, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Subordinated Indenture or be valid or
obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate of authentication of the Trustee upon any
Subordinated Security or Coupon, if any, executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that
the Subordinated Security or Coupon so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits of this Subordinated Indenture.
Typographical or other errors or defects in the seal or facsimile signature on any

13

 

Subordinated Security or in the text thereof shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of such Subordinated Security if it has been duly authenticated and delivered
by the Trustee.

     In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Subordinated Securities or
Coupons, if any, (manually or in facsimile) shall cease to be such officer before the Subordinated
Securities or Coupons so signed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, or
disposed of by the Company, such Subordinated Securities or Coupons nevertheless may be
authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the Person who signed such Subordinated
Securities or Coupons had not ceased to be such officer of the Company. Also, any Subordinated
Security or Coupon may be signed on behalf of the Company by such Persons as on the actual date of
execution of such Subordinated Security or Coupon shall be the proper officers of the Company,
although at the date of the execution of this Subordinated Indenture or on the nominal date of such
Subordinated Security any such Person was not such officer.

     SECTION 2.06. Certificate of Authentication. Only such Subordinated Securities as
shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form hereinbefore recited,
executed by the Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers, shall be
entitled to the benefits of this Subordinated Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.
No Coupon shall be entitled to the benefits of this Subordinated Indenture or shall be valid and
obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of authentication on the Subordinated Security to
which such Coupon appertains shall have been duly executed by the Trustee. The execution of such
certificate by the Trustee upon any Subordinated Security executed by the Company shall be
conclusive evidence that the Subordinated Security so authenticated has been duly authenticated and
delivered hereunder and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits of this Subordinated Indenture.

     SECTION 2.07. Denominations; Payment of Interest on Subordinated Securities.

     (a) The Subordinated Securities of each series may be issued as Registered Subordinated
Securities or Unregistered Subordinated Securities in denominations all as shall be specified as
contemplated by Section 2.03. In the absence of such provisions with respect to the Registered
Subordinated Securities of any series, the Subordinated Securities of such series (other than any
Registered Global Subordinated Securities) shall be issued in denominations of $1,000 (or [Euro]
1,000, as applicable) and any integral multiple thereof. If denominations of Unregistered
Subordinated Securities of any series are not so established, such Subordinated Securities shall be
issuable in denominations of $1,000 and $5,000 (or [Euro] 1,000 and [Euro] 5,000). The
Subordinated Securities of each series shall be numbered, lettered or otherwise distinguished in
such manner or in accordance with such plan as the officers of the Company executing the same may
determine with the approval of the Trustee, as evidenced by the execution and authentication
thereof.

     (b) If the Subordinated Securities of any series shall bear interest, each Subordinated
Security of such series shall bear interest from the applicable date at the rate per annum
specified in the Officer’s Certificate or Supplemental Subordinated Indenture with respect to such
series of Subordinated Securities. Unless otherwise specified in the Officer’s Certificate or
Supplemental Subordinated Indenture with respect to the Subordinated Securities of any series,
interest on the Subordinated Securities of such series shall be computed on the basis of a 360—day
year of twelve 30—day months. Such interest shall be payable on the Interest Payment Dates
specified in

14

 

the Officer’s Certificate or Supplemental Subordinated Indenture with respect to such series
of Subordinated Securities. The Person in whose name any Subordinated Security (or one or more
Predecessor Subordinated Securities) is registered at the close of business on the applicable
Record Date for the series of which such Subordinated Security is a part shall be entitled to
receive the interest payable thereon on such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the cancellation
of such Subordinated Security upon any transfer or exchange thereof subsequent to such Record Date
and prior to such Interest Payment Date unless such Subordinated Security shall have been called
for redemption on a Redemption Date which is subsequent to such Record Date and prior to such
Interest Payment Date or unless the Company shall default in the payment of interest due on such
Interest Payment Date on any Subordinated Security of such series.

     Any interest on any Subordinated Security of any series which is payable, but is not
punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted
Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on the relevant Record Date
solely by virtue of such Holder having been such Holder; and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by
the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below:

     (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Subordinated
Securities of any series to the Persons in whose names such Subordinated Securities (or their
respective Predecessor Subordinated Securities) are registered at the close of business on a
Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the
following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted
Interest proposed to be paid on each Subordinated Security and the date of the proposed payment
(which date shall be such as will enable the Trustee to comply with the next sentence hereof), and
at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the
aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make
arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed
payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to
such Defaulted Interest as in this subsection provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special
Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 nor less
than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt
by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the
Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause
notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to
be mailed, first—class postage prepaid, to each Holder of a Subordinated Security of such series
at such Holder’s address as it appears in the Register not less than 10 days prior to such Special
Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date
therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in
whose names the Subordinated Securities of such series are registered on such Special Record Date
and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following subsection (2).

     (2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Subordinated Securities of
any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities
exchange on which such Subordinated Securities may be listed and upon such notice as may be
required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the

15

 

proposed payment pursuant to this subsection, such payment shall be deemed practicable by the
Trustee.

     Interest on Subordinated Securities of any series that bear interest may be paid by mailing a
check to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Register.

     Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.07, each Subordinated Security delivered
under this Subordinated Indenture upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other
Subordinated Security shall carry all the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue,
which were carried by such other Subordinated Security and each such Subordinated Security shall
bear interest from such date, such that neither gain nor loss in interest shall result from such
transfer, exchange or substitution.

     SECTION 2.08. Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Subordinated Securities. Except
as specifically otherwise provided herein with respect to Registered Global Subordinated
Securities, Subordinated Securities of any series may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal
amount of Subordinated Securities of the same series of other authorized denominations.
Subordinated Securities to be exchanged shall be surrendered at the offices or agencies to be
maintained in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.03 and the Company shall execute the
Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in
exchange therefor the Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities which the Subordinated
Securityholder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive.

     The Company shall cause the Trustee to keep or cause to be kept, at one or more of the
offices or agencies to be maintained by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of Section
4.03 with respect to the Subordinated Securities of each series, the Register in which, subject to
such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of
the Registered Subordinated Securities of such series and the transfer of Registered Subordinated
Securities of such series as in this Article provided. The Register shall be in written form or in
any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. At all
reasonable times the Register shall be open for inspection by the Trustee and any registrar of the
Subordinated Securities of such series other than the Trustee. Upon due presentment for transfer
of any Subordinated Security of any series at the offices or agencies of the Company to be
maintained in accordance with Section 4.03 with respect to the Registered Subordinated Securities
of such series, the Company shall execute a new Subordinated Security and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Subordinated Security
or Registered Subordinated Securities of the same series for a like aggregate principal amount of
authorized denominations. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.08, unless and
until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Registered Subordinated Securities in definitive
form, a Global Subordinated Security representing all or a portion of the Registered Subordinated
Securities of a series may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository for such series
to a nominee of such Depository or by a nominee of such Depository to such Depository or another
nominee of such Depository or by such Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository for
such series or a nominee of such successor Depository.

     Unregistered Subordinated Securities (except for any temporary global Unregistered
Subordinated Securities) and Coupons (except for Coupons attached to any temporary global
Unregistered Subordinated Securities) shall be transferable by delivery.

     At the option of the Holder thereof, Registered Subordinated Securities of any series (other
than a Registered Global Subordinated Security, except as set forth below) may be exchanged for a
Registered Subordinated Security or Registered Subordinated Securities of such series and tenor
having authorized denominations and an equal aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of such
Registered Subordinated Securities to be exchanged at the agency of the Company that shall be
maintained for such purpose in accordance with Section 4.03 and upon payment, if the Company shall
so require, of the charges hereinafter provided. If the Subordinated Securities of any series are
issued in both registered and unregistered form, except as otherwise established pursuant to
Section 2.03, at the option of the Holder thereof, Unregistered Subordinated Securities of any
series may be exchanged for Registered Subordinated Securities of such series and tenor having
authorized denominations and an equal aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of such
Unregistered Subordinated Securities to be exchanged at the agency of the Company that shall be
maintained for such purpose in accordance with Section 4.03, with, in the case of Unregistered
Subordinated Securities that have Coupons attached, all unmatured Coupons and all matured Coupons
in default thereto appertaining, and upon payment, if the Company shall so require, of the charges
hereinafter provided. At the option of the Holder thereof, if Unregistered Subordinated Securities
of any series, maturity date, interest rate and original issue date are issued in more than one
authorized denomination, except as otherwise established pursuant to Section 2.03, such
Unregistered Subordinated Securities may be exchanged for Unregistered Subordinated Securities of
such series and tenor having authorized denominations and an equal aggregate principal amount, upon
surrender of such Unregistered Subordinated Securities to be exchanged at the agency of the Company
that shall be maintained for such purpose in accordance with Section 4.03, with, in the case of
Unregistered Subordinated Securities that have Coupons attached, all unmatured Coupons and all
matured Coupons in default thereto appertaining, and upon payment, if the Company shall so require,
of the charges hereinafter provided. Registered Subordinated Securities of any series may not be
exchanged for Unregistered Subordinated Securities of such series unless (1) otherwise specified
pursuant to Section 2.03 and (2) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
that (x) the Company has received from the IRS a ruling or (y) since the date hereof, there has
been a change in the applicable United States federal income tax law, in either case to the effect
that the inclusion of terms permitting Registered Subordinated Securities to be exchanged for
Unregistered Subordinated Securities would result in no United States federal income tax effect
adverse to the Company or to any Holder. Whenever any Subordinated Securities are so surrendered
for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the
Subordinated Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. All
Subordinated Securities and Coupons, if any, surrendered upon any exchange or transfer provided for
in this Subordinated Indenture shall be promptly cancelled and disposed of by the Trustee, and the
Trustee shall deliver a certificate of disposition thereof to the Company.

     All Registered Subordinated Securities of any series presented or surrendered for exchange,
transfer, redemption, conversion or payment shall, if so required by the Company or any registrar
of the Subordinated Securities of such series, be accompanied by a written

17

 

instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company and such
registrar, duly executed by the registered Holder or by such Person’s attorney duly authorized in
writing.

     No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Subordinated
Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto.

     The Company shall not be required to exchange or transfer (a) any Subordinated Securities of
any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the first
publication or the mailing (if there is no publication) of a notice of redemption of Subordinated
Securities of such series and ending at the close of business on the day of such publication or
mailing or (b) any Subordinated Securities called or selected for redemption in whole or in part,
except, in the case of Subordinated Securities called for redemption in part, the portion thereof
not so called for redemption in whole or in part or during a period beginning at the opening of
business on any Record Date for such series and ending at the close of business on the relevant
Interest Payment Date therefor.

     SECTION 2.09. Mutilated, Defaced, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Subordinated Securities.
In case any temporary or definitive Subordinated Security or any Coupon appertaining to any
Subordinated Security shall be mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company in its
discretion may execute and, upon the written request of any officer of the Company, the Trustee
shall authenticate and delivery, a new Subordinated Security of the same series, maturity date,
interest rate and original issue date, bearing a number or other distinguishing symbol not
contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated or defaced
Subordinated Security, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Subordinated Security so
destroyed, lost or stolen with Coupons corresponding to the Coupons appertaining to the
Subordinated Securities so mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen, or in exchange or
substitution for the Subordinated Security to which such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or
stolen Coupon appertained, with Coupons appertaining thereto corresponding to the Coupons so
mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substitute
Subordinated Security or Coupon shall furnish to the Company and to the Trustee and any agent of
the Company or the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to indemnify and
defend and to save each of them harmless and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence
to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Subordinated Security or Coupon and
of the ownership thereof, and in the case of mutilation or defacement shall surrender the
Subordinated Security and related Coupons to the Trustee or such agent.

     Upon the issuance of any substitute Subordinated Security or Coupon, the Company may require
the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) or its
agent connected therewith. In case any Subordinated Security or Coupon which has matured or is
about to mature or has been called for redemption in full shall become mutilated or defaced or be
destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may instead of issuing a substitute Subordinated Security,
pay or authorize the payment of the same or the relevant Coupon (without surrender thereof except
in the case of a mutilated or defaced Subordinated Security or Coupon), if the applicant for such
payment shall furnish to the Company and to the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee
such security or indemnity as any of them may require to save each of them harmless, and, in every
case of destruction, loss or theft, the

18

 

applicant shall also furnish to the Company and to the Trustee and any agent of the Company or
the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Subordinated
Security or Coupons and of the ownership thereof.

     Every substitute Subordinated Security or Coupon of any series issued pursuant to the
provisions of this Section by virtue of the fact that any such Subordinated Security or Coupon is
destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company,
whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Subordinated Security or Coupon shall be at any time
enforceable by anyone and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall be subject to all the
limitations of rights set forth in) this Subordinated Indenture equally and proportionately with
any and all other Subordinated Securities or Coupons of such series duly authenticated and
delivered hereunder. All Subordinated Securities and Coupons shall be held and owned upon the
express condition that, to the extent permitted by law, the foregoing provisions are exclusive with
respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, defaced or destroyed, lost or stolen
Subordinated Securities and Coupons and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies
notwithstanding any law or statue existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the
replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.

     SECTION 2.10. Cancellation and Destruction of Surrendered Subordinated Securities.
All Subordinated Securities and Coupons surrendered for payment, redemption, transfer, conversion
or exchange, or for credit against any payment in respect of a sinking or analogous fund, if any,
shall, if surrendered to the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or of the Trustee, be
delivered to the Trustee, and the same, together with Subordinated Securities surrendered to the
Trustee for cancellation, shall be canceled by it and thereafter disposed of by it as directed by
the Company, and no Subordinated Securities or Coupons shall be issued in lieu thereof except as
expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Subordinated Indenture. The Trustee shall
destroy canceled Subordinated Securities and Coupons and deliver a certificate of destruction
thereof to the Company unless by an Officer’s Certificate of the Company, the Company shall direct
that canceled Subordinated Securities be returned to it. If the Company shall purchase or otherwise
acquire any of the Subordinated Securities and Coupons, however, such purchase or acquisition shall
not operate as a payment, redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such
Subordinated Securities or Coupons unless and until the Company, at its option shall deliver or
surrender the same to the Trustee for cancellation.

     SECTION 2.11. Temporary Subordinated Securities. Pending the preparation of
definitive Subordinated Securities of any series, the Company may execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver temporary Subordinated Securities of such series which are printed,
lithographed, typewritten or otherwise produced, in each case satisfactory to the Trustee.
Temporary Subordinated Securities of any series shall be issuable as Registered Subordinated
Securities without coupons, or as Unregistered Subordinated Securities with or without coupons
attached thereto of any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the definitive
Subordinated Securities of such series but with such appropriate omissions, insertions,
substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Subordinated Securities may
determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Subordinated Securities. Every such temporary
Subordinated Security shall be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in
substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the definitive Subordinated Securities.
If temporary Subordinated Securities are issued, the Company will cause definitive

19

 

Subordinated Securities to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of
definitive Subordinated Securities, the temporary Subordinated Securities of such series shall be
exchangeable for definitive Subordinated Securities upon surrender of the temporary Subordinated
Securities without charge to the Holder at the offices or agencies to be maintained by the Trustee
as provided in Section 4.03 with respect to the Subordinated Securities of such series and in the
case of Unregistered Subordinated Securities, at any agency maintained by the Company for such
purpose as specified pursuant to Section 2.03. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more
temporary Subordinated Securities the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver in exchange for such temporary Subordinated Securities an equal aggregate principal amount
of definitive Subordinated Securities of such series and in the case of Unregistered Subordinated
Securities, having attached thereto any appropriate Coupons. Until so exchanged, the temporary
Subordinated Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the benefits of this
Subordinated Indenture and interest thereon, when and as payable, shall be paid to the registered
owners thereof. The provisions of this Section are subject to any restrictions or limitations on
the issue and delivery of temporary Unregistered Subordinated Securities of any series that may be
established pursuant to Section 2.03 (including any provision that Unregistered Subordinated
Securities of such series initially be issued in the form of a single global Unregistered
Subordinated Security to be delivered to a depositary or agency located outside the United States
and the procedures pursuant to which definitive or global Unregistered Subordinated Securities of
such series would be issued in exchange for such temporary global Unregistered Subordinated
Security).

     SECTION 2.12. Subordinated Securities in Global Form; Depositories. (a) Each
Registered Global Subordinated Security shall: (i) represent and be denominated in an aggregate
amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Subordinated Securities of the series to be
represented by such Registered Global Subordinated Security, (ii) be registered in the name of
either the Depository for such Registered Global Subordinated Security or the nominee of such
Depository, (iii) be delivered by the Trustee to such Depository or pursuant to such Depository’s
written instruction and (iv) bear a legend substantially to the following effect: “Unless and
until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Subordinated Securities in definitive form, this
Registered Global Subordinated Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository
to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another
nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any nominee to a successor Depository or a
nominee of any successor Depository.” The notation of the record owner’s interest in such
Registered Global Subordinated Security upon the original issuance thereof shall be deemed to be
delivery in connection with the original issuance of each beneficial owner’s interest in such
Registered Global Subordinated Security. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company and the
Trustee shall have no responsibility, obligation or liability with respect to: (x) the maintenance,
review or accuracy of the records of the Depository or of any of its participating organizations
with respect to any ownership interest in or payments with respect to such Registered Global
Subordinated Security, (y) any communication with or delivery of any notice (including notices of
redemption) with respect to the series of Subordinated Securities represented by the Registered
Global Subordinated Security to any Person having any ownership interest in such Registered Global
Subordinated Security or to any of the Depository’s participating organizations or (z) any payment
made on account of any beneficial ownership interest in such Registered Global Subordinated
Security.

20

 

     (b) If any Subordinated Security of a series is issuable in the form of a Registered Global
Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities, each such Registered Global Subordinated Security
may provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of Outstanding Subordinated Securities of
such series from time to time endorsed thereon and may also provide that the aggregate amount of
Outstanding Subordinated Securities of such series represented thereby may from time to time be
reduced to reflect exchanges. Any endorsement of a Registered Global Subordinated Security to
reflect the amount of Outstanding Subordinated Securities of a series represented thereby shall be
made by the Trustee and in such manner as shall be specified on such Registered Global Subordinated
Security. Any instructions by the Company with respect to a Registered Global Subordinated
Security, after its initial issuance, shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 13.03 of
this Subordinated Indenture.

     (c) Each Depository designated pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.03 of this Subordinated
Indenture for a Registered Global Subordinated Security must, at the time of its designation and at
all times while it serves as a depositary, be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act,
and any other applicable statute or regulation. If at any time the Depository for the Subordinated
Securities of a series notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as
Depository for the Subordinated Securities of such series or if at any time the Depository for the
Subordinated Securities of such series shall no longer be eligible under this Section 2.12, the
Company shall appoint a successor Depository with respect to the Subordinated Securities of such
series. If a successor Depository for the Subordinated Securities of such series is not appointed
by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or learns of such
ineligibility, the Company shall execute and the Company shall direct the Trustee to authenticate
and deliver definitive Subordinated Securities of such series in authorized denominations in
exchange for the Registered Global Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities. Upon receipt
of such direction, the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver the definitive Subordinated
Securities of such series in the same aggregate principal amount as the Registered Global
Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities representing such series in exchange for such
Registered Global Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities, in accordance with the
provisions of subsection (e) of this Section 2.12, without any further corporate action by the
Company.

     (d) The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Registered
Subordinated Securities of any series issued in the form of one or more Registered Global
Subordinated Securities shall no longer be represented by such Registered Global Subordinated
Security or Subordinated Securities. In such event, the Company will execute and upon receipt of a
written order from the Company, the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver Subordinated
Securities of such series in definitive form and in authorized denominations in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Registered Global Subordinated Security or
Subordinated Securities representing such series in exchange for such Registered Global
Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities, in accordance with the provisions of subsection
(e) of this Section 2.12 without any further corporate action by the Company.

     (e) Upon any exchange hereunder of the Registered Global Subordinated Security or Subordinated
Securities for Subordinated Securities in definitive form, such Registered Global Subordinated
Security or Subordinated Securities shall be canceled by the Trustee. Registered

21

 

Subordinated Securities issued hereunder in exchange for the Registered Global Subordinated
Security or Subordinated Securities shall be registered in such names and in such authorized
denominations as the Depository for such Registered Global Subordinated Security, pursuant to
instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee.
The Trustee shall deliver such definitive Subordinated Securities in exchange for the Registered
Global Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities to the persons in whose name such
definitive Subordinated Securities have been registered in accordance with the directions of the
Depository.

     (f) Any time the Registered Subordinated Securities of any series are not in the form of
Registered Global Subordinated Securities pursuant to the preceding two paragraphs, the Company
agrees to supply the Trustee with a reasonable supply of certified Registered Subordinated
Securities without the legend required by this Section 2.12 and the Trustee agrees to hold such
Registered Subordinated Securities in safekeeping until authenticated and delivered pursuant to the
terms of this Subordinated Indenture.

     If established by the Company pursuant to Section 2.03 with respect to any Registered Global
Subordinated Security, the Depositary for such Registered Global Subordinated Security may
surrender such Registered Global Subordinated Security in exchange in whole or in part for
Subordinated Securities of the same series and tenor in definitive registered form on such terms as
are acceptable to the Company and such Depositary. Thereupon, the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge,

     (i) to the Person specified by such Depositary new Registered Subordinated Securities
of the same series and tenor, of any authorized denominations as requested by such Person,
in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial
interest in the Registered Global Subordinated Security; and

     (ii) to such Depositary a new Registered Global Subordinated Security in a denomination
equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Registered
Global Subordinated Security and the aggregate principal amount of Registered Subordinated
Securities authenticated and delivered pursuant to clause (i) above.

     Registered Subordinated Securities issued in exchange for a Registered Global Subordinated
Security pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be registered in such names and in such authorized
denominations as the Depositary for such Registered Global Subordinated Security, pursuant to
instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee or
an agent of the Company or the Trustee. The Trustee or such agent shall deliver such Subordinated
Securities to or as directed by the Persons in whose names such Subordinated Securities are so
registered.

     All Subordinated Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange of Subordinated Securities
shall be valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same
benefits under this Indenture, as the Subordinated Securities surrendered upon such transfer or
exchange.

22

 

     Notwithstanding anything herein or in the forms or terms of any Subordinated Securities to the
contrary, none of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be
required to exchange any Unregistered Subordinated Security for a Registered Subordinated Security
if such exchange would result in adverse Federal income tax consequences to the Company (such as,
for example, the inability of the Company to deduct from its income, as computed for Federal income
tax purposes, the interest payable on the Unregistered Subordinated Securities) under then
applicable United States Federal income tax laws. The Trustee and any such agent shall be entitled
to rely on an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel in determining such result.

     SECTION 2.13. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Subordinated Securities may
use “CUSIP” and “CINS” numbers (if then generally in use), and the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers
or CINS numbers, as the case may be, in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to
Holders and no representation shall be made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed
on the Subordinated Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption or exchange.

     SECTION 2.14. Series May Include Tranches. A series of Subordinated Securities may
include one or more tranches (each a “tranche”) of Subordinated Securities, including Subordinated
Securities issued in a Periodic Offering. The Subordinated Securities of different tranches may
have one or more different terms, including authentication dates and public offering prices, but
all the Subordinated Securities within each such tranche shall have identical terms, including
authentication date and public offering price. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Subordinated Indenture, with respect to Sections 2.05 through 2.12, 3.01 through 3.06, 4.03, 6.01
through 6.12, 10.02 and 11.01 through 11.05, if any series of Subordinated Securities includes more
than one tranche, all provisions of such sections applicable to any series of Subordinated
Securities shall be deemed equally applicable to each tranche of any series of Subordinated
Securities in the same manner as though originally designated a series unless otherwise provided
with respect to such series or tranche pursuant to Section 2.03. In particular, and without
limiting the scope of the next preceding sentence, any of the provisions of such sections which
provide for or permit action to be taken with respect to a series of Subordinated Securities shall
also be deemed to provide for and permit such action to be taken instead only with respect to
Subordinated Securities of one or more tranches within that series (and such provisions shall be
deemed satisfied thereby), even if no comparable action is taken with respect to Subordinated
Securities in the remaining tranches of that series.

ARTICLE THREE

REDEMPTION OF SUBORDINATED SECURITIES AND SINKING FUNDS

     SECTION 3.01. Applicability of Article. The provisions of this Article shall be
applicable to the Subordinated Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated
Maturity or to any sinking fund for the retirement of Subordinated Securities of a series except as
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03 for Subordinated Securities of such series.

     SECTION 3.02. Notice of Redemption; Partial Redemptions. Notice of redemption to the
Holders of Registered Subordinated Securities of any series to be redeemed as a whole or in part at
the option of the Company shall be given by mailing notice of such
redemption by first

23

 

class mail, postage prepaid, at least 30 days and not more than 60 days
prior to the date fixed for redemption to such Holders of Subordinated Securities of such series at
their last addresses as they shall appear upon the Register. Notice of redemption to the Holders
of Unregistered Subordinated Securities to be redeemed as a whole or in part, who have filed their
names and addresses with the Trustee pursuant to Section 313(c)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act shall
be given by mailing notice of such redemption, by first class mail, postage prepaid, at least 30
days and not more than 60 prior to the date fixed for redemption, to such Holders at such addresses
as were so furnished to the Trustee (and, in the case of any such notice given by the Company, the
Trustee shall make such information available to the Company for such purpose). Notice of
redemption to all other Holders of Unregistered Subordinated Securities shall be published in an
Authorized Newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and in an Authorized
Newspaper in London (and, if required by Section 4.09, in an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg),
in each case, once in each of three successive calendar weeks, the first publication to be not less
than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Any notice which is mailed
in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or
not the Holder receives the notice. Failure to give notice by mail, or any defect in the notice to
the Holder of any Subordinated Security of a series designated for redemption as a whole or in part
shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of such Subordinated Security
of such series.

     The notice of redemption to each such Holder shall specify the principal amount of each
Subordinated Security of such series held by such Holder to be redeemed, the date fixed for
redemption, the redemption price, the place or places of payment, that payment will be made upon
presentation and surrender of such Subordinated Securities and, in the case of Subordinated
Securities with Coupons attached thereto, of all Coupons appertaining thereto maturing after the
date fixed for redemption, that such redemption is pursuant to the mandatory or optional sinking
fund, or both, if such be the case, that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be
paid as specified in such notice and that on and after said date interest thereon or on the
portions thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue. In case any Subordinated Security of a
series is to be redeemed in part only the notice of redemption shall state the portion of the
principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that on and after the date fixed for
redemption, upon surrender of such Subordinated Security, a new Subordinated Security or
Subordinated Securities of such series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof
will be issued.

     The notice of redemption of Subordinated Securities of any series to be redeemed at the option
of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee in the
name and at the expense of the Company.

     On or before the redemption date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in
this Section, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more Paying Agents (or, if
the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and holder in trust as
provided in Section 4.05) an amount of money sufficient to redeem on the redemption date all the
Subordinated Securities of such series so called for redemption at the appropriate redemption
price, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. The Company will deliver
to the Trustee at least 70 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, or such shorter period as
shall be acceptable to the Trustee, an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount
of Subordinated Securities to be redeemed. In case of a redemption at the election of the

24

 

Company prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption, the Company shall
deliver to the Trustee, prior to the giving of any notice of redemption to Holders pursuant to this
Section, an Officer’s Certificate stating that such restriction has been complied with.

     If less than all the Subordinated Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall
select, in such manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair, in its sole discretion, Subordinated
Securities of such series to be redeemed in whole or in part. Subordinated Securities may be
redeemed in part in multiples equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Subordinated
Securities of such series or any multiple thereof. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company
in writing of the Subordinated Securities of such series selected for redemption and, in the case
of any Subordinated Securities of such series selected for partial redemption, the principal amount
thereof to be redeemed. For all purposes of this Subordinated Indenture, unless the context
otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Subordinated Securities of any
series shall relate, in the case of any Subordinated Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in
part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Subordinated Security which has been or is to
be redeemed.

     SECTION 3.03. Payment of Subordinated Securities Called for Redemption. If notice of
redemption has been given as above provided, the Subordinated Securities or portions of
Subordinated Securities specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at
the place stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued
to the date fixed for redemption, and on and after said date (unless the Company shall default in
the payment of such Subordinated Securities at the redemption price, together with interest accrued
to said date) interest on the Subordinated Securities or portions of Subordinated Securities so
called for redemption shall cease to accrue, and the unmatured Coupons, if any, appertaining
thereto shall be void, and, except as provided in Sections 7.05 and 11.04, such Subordinated
Securities shall cease from and after the date fixed for redemption to be entitled to any benefit
or security under this Subordinated Indenture, and the Holders thereof shall have no right in
respect of such Subordinated Securities except the right to receive the redemption price thereof
and unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption. On presentation and surrender of such
Subordinated Securities at a place of payment specified in said notice, together with all Coupons,
if any, appertaining thereto maturing after the date fixed for redemption, said Subordinated
Securities or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the
applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for
redemption; provided, that payment of interest becoming due on or prior to the date fixed for
redemption shall be payable in the case of Subordinated Securities with Coupons attached thereto,
to the Holders of the Coupons for such interest upon surrender thereof, and in the case of
Registered Subordinated Securities, to the Holder of such Registered Subordinated Securities
registered as such on the relevant record date, subject to the terms and provisions of Section 2.03
and 2.07 hereof.

     If any Subordinated Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof
for redemption, the principal shall, until paid or duly provided for, bear interest from the date
fixed for redemption at the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of an Original Issue
Discount Subordinated Security) borne by such Subordinated Security.

     If any Subordinated Security with Coupons attached thereto is surrendered for redemption and
is not accompanied by all appurtenant Coupons maturing after the date fixed for

25

 

redemption, the surrender of such missing Coupon or Coupons may be waived by the Company and
the Trustee, if there be furnished to each of them such security or indemnity as they may require
to save each of them harmless.

     Upon presentation of any Subordinated Security redeemed in part only, the Company shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or on the order of the Holder thereof, at
the expense of the Company, a new Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities of such series,
of authorized denominations, in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the
Subordinated Security so presented.

     SECTION 3.04. Exclusion of Certain Subordinated Securities From Eligibility for Selection
for Redemption. Subordinated Securities shall be excluded from eligibility for selection for
redemption if they are identified by registration and certificate number in an Officer’s
Certificate delivered to the Trustee at least 40 days prior to the last date on which notice of
redemption may be given as being owned of record and beneficially by, and not pledged or
hypothecated by, either (a) the Company or (b) an entity specifically identified in such written
statement as directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common
control with the Company.

     SECTION 3.05. Mandatory and Optional Sinking Funds. The minimum amount of any
sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of the Subordinated Securities of any series is
herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment,” and any payment in excess of such minimum
amount provided for by the terms of the Subordinated Securities of any series herein referred to as
an “optional sinking fund payment.” The date on which a sinking fund payment is to be made is
herein referred to as the “sinking fund payment date.”

     In lieu of making all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to any
series of Subordinated Securities in cash, the Company may at its option (a) deliver to the Trustee
Subordinated Securities of such series theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired (except upon
redemption pursuant to the mandatory sinking fund) by the Company or receive credit for
Subordinated Securities of such series (not previously so credited) theretofore purchased or
otherwise acquired (except as aforesaid) by the Company and delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation pursuant to Section 2.10, (b) receive credit for optional sinking fund payments (not
previously so credited) made pursuant to this Section, or (c) receive credit for Subordinated
Securities of such series (not previously so credited) redeemed by the Company through any optional
redemption provision contained in the terms of such series. Subordinated Securities so delivered
or credited shall be received or credited by the Trustee at the sinking fund redemption price
specified in such Subordinated Securities.

     On or before the 60th day next preceding each sinking fund payment date for any
series, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate (which need not contain
the statements required by Section 13.03) (a) specifying the portion of the mandatory sinking fund
payment to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion to be satisfied by credit of
Subordinated Securities of such series and the basis for such credit, (b) stating that none of the
Subordinated Securities of such series has theretofore been so credited, (c) stating that no
defaults in the payment of interest or Events of Default with respect to such series have occurred
(which have not been waived or cured) and are continuing and (d) stating whether or not the Company
intends to exercise its right to make an optional sinking fund payment with respect to

26

 

such series and, if so, specifying the amount of such optional sinking fund payment which the
Company intends to pay on or before the next succeeding sinking fund payment date. Any
Subordinated Securities of such series to be credited and required to be delivered to the Trustee
in order for the Company to be entitled to credit therefor as aforesaid which have not theretofore
been delivered to the Trustee shall be delivered for cancellation pursuant to Section 2.10 to the
Trustee with such Officer’s Certificate (or reasonably promptly thereafter if acceptable to the
Trustee). Such Officer’s Certificate shall be irrevocable and upon its receipt by the Trustee the
Company shall become unconditionally obligated to make all the cash payments or payments therein
referred to, if any, on or before the next succeeding sinking fund payment date. Failure of the
Company, on or before any such 60th day, to deliver such Officer’s Certificate and
Subordinated Securities specified in this paragraph, if any, shall not constitute a default but
shall constitute, on and as of such date, the irrevocable election of the Company (i) that the
mandatory sinking fund payment for such series due on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date
shall be paid entirely in cash without the option to deliver or credit Subordinated Securities of
such series in respect thereof and (ii) that the Company will make no optional sinking fund payment
with respect to such series as provided in this Section.

     If the sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional or both) to be made in cash on
the next succeeding sinking fund payment date plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund
payments made in cash shall exceed $50,000 (or the equivalent thereof in any Foreign Currency or
ECU) or a lesser sum in United States Dollars (or the equivalent thereof in any Foreign Currency or
ECU) if the Company shall so request with respect to the Subordinated Securities of any particular
series, such cash shall be applied on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date to the
redemption of Subordinated Securities of such series at the sinking fund redemption price together
with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. If such amount shall be $50,000 (or the
equivalent thereof in any Foreign Currency or ECU) or less and the Company makes no such request
then it shall be carried over until a sum in excess of $50,000 (or the equivalent thereof in any
Foreign Currency or ECU) is available. The Trustee shall select, in the manner provided in Section
3.02, for redemption on such sinking fund payment date a sufficient principal amount of
Subordinated Securities of such series to absorb said cash, as nearly as may be, and shall (if
requested in writing by the Company) inform the Company of the serial numbers of the Subordinated
Securities of such series (or portions thereof) so selected. Subordinated Securities shall be
excluded from eligibility for redemption under this Section if they are identified by registration
and certificate number in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee at least 60 days prior
to the sinking fund payment date as being owned of record and beneficially by, and not pledged or
hypothecated by, either (a) the Company or (b) an entity specifically identified in such Officer’s
Certificate as directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect
common control with the Company. The Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Company (or
the Company, if it shall so request the Trustee in writing) shall cause notice of redemption of the
Subordinated Securities of such series to be given in substantially the manner provided in Section
3.02 (and with the effect provided in Section 3.03) for the redemption of Subordinated Securities
of such series in part at the option of the Company. The amount of any sinking fund payments not
so applied or allocated to the redemption of Subordinated Securities of such series shall be added
to the next cash sinking fund payment for such series and, together with such payment, shall be
applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section. Any and all sinking fund moneys held on
the Stated Maturity date of the Subordinated Securities of any particular series (or earlier, if

27

 

such maturity is accelerated), which are not held for the payment or redemption of particular
Subordinated Securities of such series shall be applied, together with other moneys, if necessary,
sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of the principal of, and interest on, the Subordinated
Securities of such series at its Stated Maturity.

     On or before each sinking fund payment date, the Company shall pay to the Trustee in cash or
shall otherwise provide for the payment of all interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption on
Subordinated Securities to be redeemed on the next following sinking fund payment date.

     The Trustee shall not redeem or cause to be redeemed any Subordinated Securities of a series
with sinking fund moneys or give any notice of redemption of Subordinated Securities for such
series by operation of the sinking fund during the continuance of a default in payment of interest
on such Subordinated Securities or of any Event of Default except that, where the giving of notice
of redemption of any Subordinated Securities shall theretofore have been made, the Trustee shall
redeem or cause to be redeemed such Subordinated Securities, provided that it shall have received
from the Company a sum sufficient for such redemption. Except as aforesaid, any moneys in the
sinking fund for such series at the time when any such default or Event of Default shall occur, and
any moneys thereafter paid into the sinking fund, shall, during the continuance of such default or
Event of Default be deemed to have been collected under Article 5 and held for the payment of all
such Subordinated Securities. In case such Event of Default shall have been waived as provided in
Section 6.09 or the default cured on or before the sixtieth day preceding the sinking fund payment
date in any year, such moneys shall thereafter be applied on the next succeeding sinking fund
payment date in accordance with this Section to the redemption of such Subordinated Securities.

ARTICLE FOUR

PARTICULAR COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY

     SECTION 4.01. Payment of Principal of and Interest on Subordinated Securities. The
Company covenants that it will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of and any
interest and premium on each of the Subordinated Securities in accordance with the terms of the
Subordinated Securities and in the Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto and this Subordinated
Indenture. Except with respect to any Registered Global Subordinated Securities, if the
Subordinated Securities of any series bear interest, each installment of interest on the
Subordinated Securities of such series may, at the option of the Company, be paid by mailing a
check or checks for such interest payable to the Person entitled thereto pursuant to Section 2.07
to the address of such Person as it appears on the Register of such series on the applicable Record
Date for such interest payment. The interest on Securities with Coupons attached (together with
any additional amounts payable pursuant to the terms of such Securities) shall be payable only upon
presentation and surrender of the several Coupons for such interest installments as are evidenced
thereby as they severally mature. If any temporary Unregistered Security provides that interest
thereon may be paid while such Security is in temporary form, the interest on any such temporary
Unregistered Security (together with any additional amounts payable pursuant to the terms of such
Security) shall be paid, as to the installments of interest evidenced by Coupons attached thereto,
if any, only upon presentation and surrender thereof, and, as to the other installments of
interest, if any, only upon presentation of such Securities for

28

 

notation thereon of the payment of such interest, in each case subject to any restrictions
that may be established pursuant to Section 2.03. The interest, if any, on Registered Securities
(together with any additional amounts payable pursuant to the terms of such Securities) shall be
payable only to or upon the written order of the Holders thereof and, at the option of the Company,
may be paid by wire transfer or by mailing checks for such interest payable to or upon the written
order of such Holders at their last addresses as they appear on the Register of the Company.

     SECTION 4.02. Corporate Existence of the Company; Consolidation, Merger, Sale or
Transfer. The Company covenants that so long as any of the Subordinated Securities are
Outstanding, it will maintain its existence, will not dissolve, sell or otherwise dispose of all or
substantially all of its assets and will not consolidate with or merge into another entity or
permit one or more other entities to consolidate with or merge into it; provided that the Company
may, without violating the covenants in this Section 4.02 contained, consolidate with or merge into
another entity or permit one or more other entities to consolidate with or merge into it, or sell
or otherwise transfer to another entity all or substantially all of its assets as an entirety and
thereafter dissolve, if the surviving, resulting or transferee entity, as the case may be, (i)
shall be organized and existing under the laws of one of the States of the United States of
America, (ii) assumes, if such entity is not the Company, all of the obligations of the Company
hereunder and (iii) is not, after such transaction, otherwise in default under any provisions
hereof.

     SECTION 4.03. Maintenance of Offices or Agencies for Transfer, Registration, Exchange and
Payment of Subordinated Securities. So long as any of the Subordinated Securities shall remain
Outstanding, the Company covenants that it will cause the Trustee to maintain an office or agency
in either The City of New York, State of New York, or the City and County of Los Angeles, State of
California, where the Subordinated Securities may be presented for registration, exchange and
transfer as in this Subordinated Indenture provided, and where notices and demands to or upon the
Trustee in respect of the Subordinated Securities or of this Subordinated Indenture may be served,
and where the Subordinated Securities may be presented for payment. In case the Trustee shall fail
to maintain any such office or agency, presentations and demands may be made and notices may be
served at the principal office of the Company.

     The Company will maintain one or more agencies in a city or cities located outside the United
States (including any city in which such an agency is required to be maintained under the rules of
any stock exchange on which the Securities of any series are listed) where the Unregistered
Securities, if any, of each series and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto may be presented for
payment. No payment on any Unregistered Security or Coupon will be made upon presentation of such
Unregistered Security or Coupon at an agency of the Company within the United States nor will any
payment be made by transfer to an account in, or by mail to an address in, the United States
unless, pursuant to applicable United States laws and regulations then in effect, such payment can
be made without adverse tax consequences to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if full
payment in United States Dollars at each agency maintained by the Company outside the United States
for payment on such Unregistered Securities or Coupons appertaining thereto is illegal or
effectively precluded by exchange controls or other similar restrictions, payments in United States
Dollars of Unregistered Securities of any series and coupons appertaining thereto which are payable
in United States Dollars may be made at an agency of the Company maintained in the City of New
York.

29

 

     The Company will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or
agency where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Subordinated Securities
of any series, the Coupons appertaining thereto or this Subordinated Indenture may be served.

     The Company will give to the Trustee written notice of the location of each such office or
agency and of any change of location thereof. In case the Company shall fail to maintain any
agency required by this Section to be located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York or
the City and County of Los Angeles, or shall fail to give such notice of the location or for any
change in the location of any of the above agencies, presentations and demands may be made and
notices may be served at the Principal Office of the Trustee.

     The Company may from time to time designate one or more additional offices or agencies where
the Subordinated Securities of a series and any Coupons appertaining thereto may be presented for
payment, where the Subordinated Securities of that series may be presented for exchange as provided
in this Subordinated Indenture and pursuant to Section 2.04 and where the Registered Subordinated
Securities of that series may be presented for registration of transfer as in this Subordinated
Indenture provided, and the Company may from time to time rescind any such designation, as the
Company may deem desirable or expedient; provided, that no such designation or rescission shall in
any manner relieve the Company of its obligations to maintain the agencies provided for in this
Section. The Company shall give to the Trustee prompt written notice of any such designation or
rescission thereof.

     SECTION 4.04. Appointment to Fill a Vacancy in the Office of Trustee. The Company,
whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, covenants that it will
appoint, in the manner provided in Section 7.10, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a
Trustee with respect to the Outstanding Subordinated Securities.

     SECTION 4.05. Duties of Paying Agent. (a) If the Company shall appoint a Paying
Agent other than the Trustee with respect to Subordinated Securities of any series, it will cause
such Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall
agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 4.05 and Section 11.04,

          (1) that it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of or
interest, if any, on the Subordinated Securities of such series (whether such sums have been paid
to it by the Company or by any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities of such series) in
trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Subordinated Securities entitled to such principal or
interest and will notify the Trustee of the receipt of sums to be so held,

          (2) that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Company (or by any other
obligor on the Subordinated Securities of such series) to make any payment of the principal of or
interest on the Subordinated Securities of such series when the same shall be due and payable, and

          (3) that it will at any time during the continuance of any Event of Default, upon the written
request of the Trustee, deliver to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by it.

30

 

     (b) Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents with respect to the Subordinated
Securities of any series, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of or any interest on
the Subordinated Securities of such series, deposit with a Paying Agent of such series a sum
sufficient to pay the principal or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the
benefit of the Holders of Subordinated Securities entitled to such principal or interest, and
(unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its
action or failure so to act.

     (c) If the Company shall act as its own Paying Agent with respect to the Subordinated
Securities of any series, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of or interest on
the Subordinated Securities of such series, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit
of the Holders of the Subordinated Securities of such series or the Coupons appertaining thereto a
sum sufficient to pay such principal or interest so becoming due. The Company will promptly notify
the Trustee of any failure to take such action.

     (d) Anything in this Section 4.05 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may, at any
time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge of this Subordinated Indenture with
respect to one or more or all series of Subordinated Securities hereunder, or for any other reason,
pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held in trust for such series by it, or any Paying
Agent hereunder, as required by this Section 4.05, and such sums are to be held by the Trustee upon
the trust herein contained.

     SECTION 4.06. Notice of Default. The Company covenants that, as soon as is
practicable, the Company will furnish the Trustee notice of any event which is an Event of Default
or which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would constitute an Event of
Default which has occurred and is continuing on the date of such notice, which notice shall set
forth the nature of such event and the action which the Company proposes to take with respect
thereto.

     SECTION 4.07. Maintenance of Properties. The Company will cause all properties used
in or useful in the conduct of its business to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair,
and working order and supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to be made all necessary
repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of
the Company may be necessary, so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be
properly and advantageously conducted at all time except to the extent that the Company may be
prevented from so doing by circumstances beyond its control; provided, that nothing in this Section
shall prevent the Company from discontinuing the operation or maintenance of any of such
properties, or disposing of any of them, if such discontinuance or disposal is, in the judgment of
the Company desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and not disadvantageous in any
material respect to the Subordinated Securityholders.

     SECTION 4.08. Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. The Company will pay or discharge
or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent: (a) all taxes,
assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Company or upon the income, profits
or property of the Company; and (b) all lawful claims for labor, materials, and supplies, which, if
unpaid, might by law become a lien upon the property of the Company; provided, that the Company
shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or
discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity
is

31

 

being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings; and provided further that the Company
shall not be required to cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim
if the Company shall determine that such payment is not advantageous to the conduct of the business
of the Company taken as a whole and that the failure so to pay or discharge is not disadvantageous
in any material respect to the Subordinated Securityholders.

     SECTION 4.09. Luxembourg Publications. In the event of the publication of any notice
pursuant to Section 3.02, 6.10, 7.10(a), 7.11 and 10.02, the party making such publication in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and London shall also, to the extent that notice is
required to be given to Holders of Subordinated Securities of any series by applicable Luxembourg
law or stock exchange regulation, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to such party,
make a similar publication in Luxembourg.

ARTICLE FIVE

SUBORDINATED SECURITYHOLDERS’ LISTS AND REPORTS

BY THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE

     SECTION 5.01. Company to Furnish Trustee Information as to the Names and Addresses of
Subordinated Securityholders. The Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to the
Trustee, not less than 45 days nor more than 60 days after each date (month and day) specified as
an Interest Payment Date for the Subordinated Securities of the first series issued under this
Subordinated Indenture (whether or not any Subordinated Securities of that series are then
Outstanding), but in no event less frequently than semiannually, and at such other times as the
Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after receipt by the Company of any such request, a
list in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require containing all the information in the
possession or control of the Company, or any of its Paying Agents other than the Trustee, as to the
names and addresses of the Holders of Subordinated Securities, obtained since the date as of which
the next previous list, if any, was furnished, excluding from any such list the names and addresses
received by the Trustee in its capacity as registrar (if so acting). Any such list may be dated as
of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such information is furnished and need not
include information received after such date.

     SECTION 5.02. Preservation of Information; Communication to Subordinated
Securityholders. (a) The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably
practicable, the names and addresses of the Holders of Subordinated Securities of each series (1)
contained in the most recent list furnished to it as provided in Section 5.01, (2) received by the
Trustee in the capacity of Paying Agent or registrar (if so acting) and (3) filed with the Trustee
within the two preceding years as provided for in Section 5.04(c). The Trustee may destroy any
list furnished to it as provided in Section 5.01 upon receipt of a new list so furnished.

     (b) If three or more Holders of Subordinated Securities (hereinafter referred to as
"applicants”) apply in writing to the Trustee, and furnish to the Trustee reasonable proof that
each such applicant has owned a Subordinated Security for a period of at least six months preceding
the date of such application, and such application states that the applicants desire to communicate
with other Holders of Subordinated Securities of any series or with Holders of all Subordinated
Securities with respect to their rights under this Subordinated Indenture or under
such Subordinated Securities, and is accompanied by a copy of the form of proxy or other

32

 

communication which such applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee shall, within five
Business Days after the receipt of such application, at its election, either:

          (1) afford such applicants access to the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in
accordance with the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 5.02; or

          (2) inform such applicants as to the approximate number of Holders of Subordinated Securities
of such series or all Subordinated Securities, as the case may be, whose names and addresses appear
in the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of
subsection (a) of this Section 5.02, and as to the approximate cost of mailing to such Subordinated
Securityholders the form of proxy or other communications, if any, specified in such application.

     If the Trustee shall elect not to afford such applicants access to such information, the
Trustee shall, upon the written request of such applicants, mail to each of the Holders of
Subordinated Securities of such series, or all Subordinated Securities, as the case may be, whose
name and address appear in the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with
the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 5.02, a copy of the form of proxy or other
communication which is specified in such request, with reasonable promptness after a tender to the
Trustee of the material to be mailed and of payment, or provision for the payment, of the
reasonable expenses of mailing, unless within five days after such tender, the Trustee shall mail
to such applicants and file with the Commission, together with a copy of the material to be mailed,
a written statement to the effect that, in the opinion of the Trustee, such mailing would be
contrary to the best interests of the Holders of Subordinated Securities of such series or all
Subordinated Securities, as the case may be, or would be in violation of applicable law. Such
written statement shall specify the basis of such opinion. If the Commission, after opportunity
for a hearing upon the objections specified in the written statement so filed, shall enter an order
refusing to sustain any of such objections or if, after the entry of an order sustaining one or
more of such objections, the Commission shall find, after notice and opportunity for hearing, that
all the objections so sustained have been met and shall enter an order so declaring, the Trustee
shall mail copies of such material to all such Subordinated Securityholders with reasonable
promptness after the entry of such order and the renewal of such tender; otherwise the Trustee
shall be relieved of any obligation or duty to such applicants respecting their application.

     (c) Each and every Holder of the Subordinated Securities, by receiving and holding the same,
agrees with the Company and the Trustee that neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any Paying
Agent nor any registrar shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such
information as to the names and addresses of the Holders of Subordinated Securities in accordance
with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section 5.02, regardless of the source from which
such information was derived, and that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of
mailing any material pursuant to a request made under said subsection (b).

     SECTION 5.03. Reports by Company. (a) The Company covenants and agrees to file with
the Trustee within 15 days after the Company is required to file the same with the Commission,
copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such
portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may from time to time by rules and regulations
prescribe) which the Company may be required to file with the
Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act; or, if the Company is

33

 

not required to file information, documents or reports pursuant to either of such sections, then to
file with the Trustee and the Commission, in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed from
time to time by the Commission, such of the supplementary and periodic information, documents and
reports which may be required pursuant to Section 13 of the Exchange Act in respect of a security
listed and registered on a national securities exchange as may be prescribed from time to time in
such rules and regulations.

     (b) The Company covenants and agrees to file with the Trustee and the Commission, in
accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission, such
additional information, documents and reports with respect to compliance by the Company with the
conditions and covenants provided for in this Subordinated Indenture as may be required from time
to time by such rules and regulations.

     (c) The Company covenants and agrees to transmit to the Holders of Subordinated Securities
within 30 days after the filing thereof with the Trustee, in the manner and to the extent provided
in subsection (c) of Section 5.04 with respect to reports pursuant to subsection (a) of said
Section 5.04, such summaries of any information, documents and reports required to be filed by the
Company pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 5.03 as may be required by rules and
regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission.

     (d) The Company and any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities each covenant and agree
to furnish to the Trustee, not less than annually, a brief certificate from the principal executive
officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer as to his or her knowledge of
the Company’s compliance with all conditions and covenants of this Subordinated Indenture (which
compliance shall be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice as
provided in this Subordinated Indenture). Such certificates need not comply with Section 13.03 of
this Subordinated Indenture.

     SECTION 5.04. Reports by Trustee. (a) On or before the first July 15th following
the date of execution of this Subordinated Indenture, and on or before July 15 in every year
thereafter, if and so long as any Subordinated Securities are Outstanding hereunder, the Trustee
shall transmit to the Subordinated Securityholders as hereinafter in this Section 5.04 provided, a
brief report dated as of the preceding May 15 with respect to any of the following events which may
have occurred within the previous 12 months (but if no such event has occurred within such period
no report need be transmitted):

          (1) any change to its eligibility under Section 7.09, and its qualifications under Section
7.08;

          (2) the creation of or any material change to a relationship specified in paragraph (1)
through (10) of Section 7.08(d);

          (3) the character and amount of any advances (and if the Trustee elects so to state, the
circumstances surrounding the making thereof) made by the Trustee (as such) which remain unpaid on
the date of such report, and for the reimbursement of which it claims or may claim a lien or
charge, prior to that of the Subordinated Securities of any series, on any property or funds held
or collected by it as Trustee, except that the Trustee shall not be required (but may
elect) to state such advances if such advances so remaining unpaid aggregate not more than
one-

34

 

half of one percent of the principal amount of the Subordinated Securities of such series
Outstanding on the date of such report;

          (4) the amount, interest rate and maturity date of all other indebtedness owing by the Company
(or by any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities) to the Trustee in its individual capacity,
on the date of such report, with a brief description of any property held as collateral security
therefor, except indebtedness based upon a creditor relationship arising in any manner described in
paragraph (2), (3), (4) or (6) of subsection (b) of Section 7.13;

          (5) any change to the property and funds, if any, physically in the possession of the Trustee
(as such) on the date of such report;

          (6) any additional issue of Subordinated Securities which the Trustee has not previously
reported; and

          (7) any action taken by the Trustee in the performance of its duties under this Subordinated
Indenture which it has not previously reported and which in its opinion materially affects the
Subordinated Securities, except action in respect of a default, notice of which has been or is to
be withheld by it in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.10.

     (b) The Trustee shall transmit to the Subordinated Securityholders, as hereinafter provided, a
brief report with respect to the character and amount of any advances (and if the Trustee elects so
to state, the circumstances surrounding the making thereof) made by the Trustee (as such) since the
date of the last report transmitted pursuant to the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section
5.04 (or if no such report has yet been so transmitted, since the date of execution of this
Subordinated Indenture), for the reimbursement of which it claims or may claim a lien or charge
prior to that of the Subordinated Securities of any series on property or funds held or collected
by it as Trustee, and which it has not previously reported pursuant to this subsection, except that
the Trustee shall not be required (but may elect) to report such advances if such advances
remaining unpaid at any time aggregate ten percent or less of the principal amount of Subordinated
Securities of such series Outstanding at such time, such report to be transmitted within 90 days
after such time.

     (c) Reports pursuant to this Section 5.04 shall be transmitted by mail (i) to all Holders of

Securities as have, within the two years preceding such transmission, filed their names and

Position and Rights. The term “Event of Default” whenever used herein with respect to any
particular series of Subordinated Securities shall mean any one of the following events:

     (a) default in the payment of any installment of interest on any Subordinated Security of such
series as and when the same shall become due and payable, and continuance of such default for a
period of 30 days provided however, that an extension of one or more Interest Payment Dates by the
Company in accordance with the provisions of any Supplemental Subordinated Indenture, shall not
constitute an Event of Default; or

     (b) default in the payment of all or any part of the principal of or any premium on any
Subordinated Security of such series as and when the same shall become due and payable whether at
maturity, by proceedings for redemption, by declaration or otherwise, provided however, that an
extension of the Stated Maturity for payment of principal of Subordinated Securities of such series
in accordance with the provisions of any Supplemental Subordinated Indenture, shall not constitute
an Event of Default; or

     (c) default in the satisfaction of any sinking fund payment obligation relating to such series
of Subordinated Securities, when and as such obligation shall become due and payable provided
however, that an extension of the Stated Maturity for payment of any sinking fund payment with
respect to Subordinated Securities of such series in accordance with the provisions of any
Supplemental Subordinated Indenture, shall not constitute an Event of Default; or

     (d) failure on the part of the Company to observe or perform in any material respect any other
of the covenants or agreements on its part in the Subordinated Securities or in this Subordinated
Indenture (including any Supplemental Subordinated Indenture or pursuant to any Officer’s
Certificate, as contemplated by Section 2.03) specifically contained for the benefit of the Holders
of the Subordinated Securities of such series, for a period of 60 days after there has been given,
by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee, or to the Company and the Trustee
by the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Subordinated Securities of such
series and all other series so benefited (all series voting as one class) at the time Outstanding
under this Subordinated Indenture a written notice specifying such failure and stating that such is
a “Notice of Default” hereunder; or

     (e) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of a decree or order for relief
in respect of the Company in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or
other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee,
custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Company or for any substantial part
of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, if such decree or order
shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or

     (f) the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or the Company’s consent

36

 

to the entry of an order for relief in any involuntary case under any such law, or its consent
to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian,
sequestrator (or similar official) of the Company or for any substantial part of its property, or
the making by the Company of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or its failure
generally to pay its debts as they become due or the taking by the Company of any corporate action
in furtherance of any of the foregoing; or

     (g) any other Event of Default provided in the Officer’s Certificate or Supplemental
Subordinated Indenture under which such series of Subordinated is issued or in the form of
Subordinated Security for such series.

     If an Event of Default described in clause (a), (b) or (c) shall have occurred and be
continuing with respect to any one or more series of Outstanding Subordinated Securities, then and
in each and every such case, unless the principal amount of all the Subordinated Securities of each
series as to which there is an Event of Default shall have already become due and payable, either
the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Subordinated Securities
of such series then Outstanding hereunder (each such series voting as a separate class) by notice
in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Subordinated Securityholders) may declare
the principal amount (or, if the Subordinated Securities of any such series are Original Issue
Discount Subordinated Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the
terms of such series) of all the Subordinated Securities of such series, together with any accrued
interest, to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall be
immediately due and payable, anything in this Subordinated Indenture or in the Subordinated
Securities of such series contained to the contrary notwithstanding.

     Except as otherwise provided in the terms of any series of Subordinated Securities pursuant to
Section 2.03, if an Event of Default described in clause (d) or (g) above with respect to all
series of Subordinated Securities then Outstanding, occurs and is continuing, then, and in each and
every such case, unless the principal of all of the Subordinated Securities shall have already
become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate
principal amount of all of the Subordinated Securities then Outstanding hereunder (treated as one
class) by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Securityholders), may
declare the entire principal (or, if the Subordinated Securities of any series are Original Issue
Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such
series) of all of the Subordinated Securities then Outstanding, and the interest accrued thereon,
if any, to be due and payable immediately, and upon such declaration, the same shall become
immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default described in clause (e) or (f) above occurs
and is continuing, then the principal amount of all of the Subordinated Securities then
Outstanding, and the interest accrued thereon, if any, shall become and be immediately due and
payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

     If an Event of Default described in clause (d) or (g) occurs and is continuing, which Event of
Default is with respect to less than all series of Subordinated Securities then Outstanding, then,
and in each and every such case, except for any series of Subordinated Securities the principal of
which shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than
25% in aggregate principal amount of the Subordinated

37

 

Securities of each such affected series then Outstanding hereunder (each such series voting as a separate
class) by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Securityholders), may
declare the entire principal (or, if the Securities of such series are Original Issue Discount
Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such series)
of all Securities of such series, and the interest accrued thereon, if any, to be due and payable
immediately, and upon any such declaration, the same shall become immediately due and payable.

     The foregoing provisions, however, are subject to the condition that if, at any time after the
principal amount (or, if the Subordinated Securities are Original Issue Discount Subordinated
Securities, such portion of the principal as may be specified in the terms thereof of the
Subordinated Securities of any one or more series (or of all the Subordinated Securities, as the
case may be) shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the
payment of moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Company
shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of
interest upon all the Subordinated Securities of such series (or upon all the Subordinated
Securities, as the case may be) and the principal of any and all Subordinated Securities of such
series (or of any and all the Subordinated Securities, as the case may be) which shall have become
due otherwise than by declaration (with interest on overdue installments of interest to the extent
permitted by law and on such principal at the rate or rates of interest borne by, or prescribed
therefor in the Subordinated Securities of such series to the date of such payment or deposit) and
interest upon such principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under
applicable law, on overdue installments of interest, at the same rate as the rate of interest or
Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in the Securities
of such series (or at the respective rates of interest or Yields to Maturity of all the Securities,
as the case may be) to the date of such payment or deposit; and the amounts payable to the Trustee
under Section 7.06 and any and all defaults under the Subordinated Indenture with respect to
Subordinated Securities of such series (or all Subordinated Securities, as the case may be), other
than the non— payment of principal of and any accrued interest on Subordinated Securities of such
series (or any Subordinated Securities, as the case may be) which shall have become due by
declaration shall have been cured, remedied or waived as provided in Section 6.09 —— then and in
every such case the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Subordinated Securities of
such series (or of all the Subordinated Securities, as the case may be) then Outstanding (such
series or all series voting as one class if more than one series are so entitled) by written notice
to the Company and to the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences; but
no such rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default, or shall
impair any right consequent thereon.

     For all purposes under this Subordinated Indenture, if a portion of the principal of any
Original Issue Discount Securities shall have been accelerated and declared due and payable
pursuant to the provisions hereof, then, from and after such declaration, unless such declaration
has been rescinded and annulled, the principal amount of such Original Issue Discount Securities
shall be deemed, for all purposes hereunder, to be such portion of the principal thereof as shall
be due and payable as a result of such acceleration, and payment of such portion of the principal
thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of such acceleration, together with interest, if
any,

38

 

thereon and all other amounts owing thereunder, shall constitute payment in full of such
Original Issue Discount Securities.

     In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Subordinated
Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such rescission
or annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then
and in every such case the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Subordinated Securities of
such series (or of all the Subordinated Securities, as the case may be) shall be restored
respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of
the Company and the Trustee and the Holders of the Subordinated Securities of such series (or of
all the Subordinated Securities, as the case may be) shall continue as though no such proceedings
had been taken.

     SECTION 6.02. Covenant of Company to Pay to Trustee Whole Amount Due on Subordinated
Securities on Default in Payment of Interest or Principal. The Company covenants that:

          (a) in case default shall be made in the payment of any installment of interest on any of the
Subordinated Securities of any series as and when the same shall become due and payable and which
payment has not been extended in accordance with the provisions of a Supplemental Subordinated
Indenture, and such default shall have continued for a period of 30 days; or

          (b) in case default shall be made in the payment of all or any part of the principal of any of
the Subordinated Securities of any series when the same shall have become due and payable and which
payment has not been extended in accordance with the provisions of a Supplemental Subordinated
Indenture, whether at the Stated Maturity of such series or by any call for redemption or by
declaration of acceleration or otherwise; or

          (c) in case default shall be made in the satisfaction of any sinking fund obligation when and
as such obligation becomes due and payable and which payment has not been extended in accordance
with the provisions of a Supplemental Subordinated Indenture, upon demand of the Trustee, the
Company will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Subordinated Securities of
such series, the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable on all such Subordinated
Securities of such series and such Coupons, for principal (and any premium) and interest and for
any overdue sinking fund payment together with interest upon the overdue principal and installments
of interest (to the extent permitted by law) at the rate or rates of interest borne by or Yield to
Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Subordinated Securities), or prescribed therefor
in, the Subordinated Securities of such series; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as
shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expense of collection, including a reasonable
compensation to the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any expenses or liabilities incurred, and
all advances made, by the Trustee hereunder other than through its negligence or bad faith.

     In case the Company shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Trustee, in
its own name and as Trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any
actions or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and
may prosecute any such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may

39

 

enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Company or any other obligor upon such
Subordinated Securities, and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the
Company or any other obligor upon such Subordinated Securities wherever situated the moneys
adjudged or decreed to be payable.

     If an Event of Default with respect to Subordinated Securities of any series occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the
rights of the Holders of Subordinated Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial
proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights,
whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Subordinated Indenture or
in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

     SECTION 6.03. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any
receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment,
composition or other similar judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon
the Subordinated Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their
creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Subordinated Securities of any
series shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and
irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of
overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

          (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (and premium, if any) and
interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Subordinated Securities (or, if the Subordinated
Securities are Original Issue Discount Subordinated Securities, such portion of the principal
amount as may be specified in the terms of such Subordinated Securities) and to file such other
papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee
(including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

          (b) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such
claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official
in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the
Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to
the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Trustee under Section 7.06.

     Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to
or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition affecting the Subordinated Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to
authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

40

 

     SECTION 6.04. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Subordinated
Securities. All rights of action and claims under this Subordinated Indenture or the
Subordinated Securities of any series or Coupons appertaining to such Subordinated Securities, may
be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee to the fullest extent permitted by law without the
possession of any of the Subordinated Securities of any series or Coupons appertaining to such
Subordinated Securities, or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such
proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express
trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for
the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Subordinated Securities or Coupons in respect of which
such judgment has been recovered.

     SECTION 6.05. Application of Moneys Collected by Trustee. Any moneys collected by
the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.02 shall be applied in the order following, at the date or dates
fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such moneys, upon presentation of the several
Subordinated Securities or Coupons appertaining to such Subordinated Securities in respect of which
moneys have been collected, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon
surrender thereof if fully paid:

          FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.06;

          SECOND: In case the principal of the Outstanding Subordinated Securities in respect of which
moneys have been collected shall not have become due and be unpaid, to the payment of any interest
on such Subordinated Securities, in the order of the maturity of the installments of such interest,
with interest upon the overdue installments of interest (so far as permitted by law and to the
extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee at the rate or rates of interest borne
by or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Subordinated Securities) of such
Subordinated Securities or prescribed therefor therein) such payments to be made ratably to the
Persons entitled thereto, without discrimination or preference;

          THIRD: In case the principal of the Outstanding Subordinated Securities in respect of which
such moneys have been collected shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, to the payment
of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon such Subordinated Securities for principal and
interest, if any, with interest on the overdue principal and any installments of interest (so far
as permitted by law and to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) at the
rate or rates of interest borne by or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount
Subordinated Securities), or prescribed therefor in, such Subordinated Securities; and in case such
moneys shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due and unpaid upon such
Subordinated Securities, then to the payment of such principal and interest or Yield to Maturity,
without preference or priority of principal over interest or Yield to Maturity, or of interest or
Yield to Maturity over principal, or of any installment of interest over any other installment of
interest, or of any Subordinated Security over any other Subordinated Security, ratably to the
aggregate of such principal and accrued and unpaid interest or Yield to Maturity; and

41

 

          FOURTH: To the payment of the remainder, with appropriate interest to the Company or its
successors or assigns, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court
of competent jurisdiction may direct.

     SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Suits by Holders of Subordinated Securities. No Holder
of any Subordinated Security of any series or of any Coupon appertaining thereto shall have any
right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Subordinated Indenture to institute any
suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Subordinated
Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder,
unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event
of Default, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of not less than 25% in principal
amount of the Subordinated Securities of such series then Outstanding shall have made written
request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee
hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against
the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby (including the reasonable
fees of counsel for the Trustee), and the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice,
request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit
or proceeding and no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the
Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.06; it being understood and intended, and being expressly
covenanted by the taker and Holder of every Subordinated Security or Coupon with every other taker
and Holder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Subordinated Securities of any series or
Coupons appertaining to such Subordinated Securities shall have any right in any manner whatever by
virtue or by availing of any provision of this Subordinated Indenture to affect, disturb or
prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of such Subordinated Securities or Coupons
appertaining to such Subordinated Securities, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or
preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Subordinated Indenture,
except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders
of Subordinated Securities of the applicable series and Coupons appertaining to such Subordinated
Securities. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 6.06, each and
every Holder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in
equity.

     Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Subordinated Indenture, the right of any Holder
of any Subordinated Security or Coupon to receive payment of the principal of and interest on such
Subordinated Security or Coupon on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Subordinated
Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the date fixed for redemption), or to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates shall not
be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

     SECTION 6.07. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. All powers and remedies given by this
Article Six to the Trustee or to the Holders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed
cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the
Trustee or the Holders, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or
observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Subordinated Indenture, and no delay
or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any of the Subordinated Securities or Coupons to
exercise any right or power accruing upon any default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall
impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such

42

 

default or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section
6.06, every power and remedy given by this Article Six or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders
may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by
the Holders. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder or otherwise shall not
prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

     SECTION 6.08. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or
of any Holder of any Subordinated Securities or Coupons to exercise any right or remedy accruing
upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such
Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.06, every
right and remedy given by this Article Six or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be
exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the
Holders, as the case may be.

     SECTION 6.09. Control by Holders; Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the Subordinated Securities of all series (voting as one class) at the time
Outstanding (determined as provided in Section 8.04) shall have the right to direct the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or
exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee; provided, however, that, subject to Section
7.01 the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in
reliance upon an Opinion of Counsel determines that the action so directed may not lawfully be
taken, or if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee,
determine that the proceedings so directed would be illegal or involve it in personal liability or
be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders not parties to such direction, and provided further
that nothing in this Subordinated Indenture shall impair the right of the Trustee to take any
action deemed proper by the Trustee and which is not inconsistent with such direction by the
Holders.

     The Company may set a special record date for purposes of determining the identity of the
Holders of Subordinated Securities entitled to vote or consent to any action by vote or consent
authorized or permitted by this Section 6.09. Such record date shall be the later of 15 days prior
to the first solicitation of such consent or the date of the most recent list of Holders furnished
to the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.01 of this Subordinated Indenture prior to such solicitation.

     The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Subordinated Securities of
any series at the time Outstanding (determined as provided in Section 8.04) may on behalf of the
Holders of all the Subordinated Securities of such series waive any past Event of Default with
respect to such series and its consequences (subject to Section 6.02), except a continuing Event of
Default specified in Section 6.01(a), (b) or (c), or in respect of a covenant or provision of this
Subordinated Indenture which under Article Ten cannot be modified or amended without the consent of
the Holder of each Subordinated Security so affected. Upon any such waiver, the Company, the
Trustee and the Holders of the Subordinated Securities of such series shall be restored to their
former positions and rights hereunder, respectively, and such Event of Default shall be deemed to
have been cured and not continuing for every purpose of this Subordinated Indenture; but no such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of Default or impair any right consequent
thereon.

43

 

     SECTION 6.10. Trustee to Give Notice of Defaults Known to it, but May Withhold in Certain
Circumstances. The Trustee shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of a default with
respect to the Subordinated Securities of any series, give notice of all defaults with respect to
that series known to the Trustee (i) if any Unregistered Subordinated Securities of that series are
then Outstanding, to the Holders thereof, by publication at least once in an Authorized Newspaper
in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in
London (and, if required by Section 4.09, at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg)
and (ii) to all Holders of Subordinated Securities of such series in the manner and to the extent
provided in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, unless in each case such defaults shall have
been cured before the mailing or publication of such notice (the term “default” for the purpose of
this Section being hereby defined to mean any event or condition which is, or with notice or lapse
of time or both would become, an Event of Default); provided, that, except in the case of default
in the payment of the principal of or interest on any of the Subordinated Securities of such
series, or in the payment of any sinking fund installment on such series, the Trustee shall be
protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive
committee, or a trust committee of directors or trustees and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee
in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the
Subordinated Securityholders of such series.

     SECTION 6.11. Requirement of an Undertaking to Pay Costs in Certain Suits Under the
Subordinated Indenture or Against the Trustee. All parties to this Subordinated Indenture
agree, and each Holder of any Subordinated Security by such Holder’s acceptance thereof shall be
deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the
enforcement of any right or remedy under this Subordinated Indenture, or in any suit against the
Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such
suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion
assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such
suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party
litigant; but the provisions of this Section 6.11 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the
Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder of Subordinated Securities of any series, or group of
such Holders, holding in the aggregate more than ten percent in principal amount of the
Subordinated Securities of such series Outstanding, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the
enforcement of the payment of the principal of or any interest or premium on any Subordinated
Security, on or after the due date expressed in such Subordinated Security or for such interest (or
in the case of any redemption, on or after the dated fixed for redemption).

     SECTION 6.12. Waiver of Stay, or Extension Laws. The Company covenants (to the
extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any
manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever
enacted, now or at any time hereinafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance
of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly
waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that they will not hinder, delay or
impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the
execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

44

 

ARTICLE SEVEN

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

     SECTION 7.01. Certain Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee. The Trustee, prior to
the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing, remedying or waiving of all Events of
Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Subordinated Indenture. In case an Event of Default has occurred
(which has not been cured, remedied or waived), the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and
powers vested in it by this Subordinated Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in
their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
his or her own affairs.

     No provision of this Subordinated Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from
liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful
misconduct, provided, however, that:

     (a) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing, remedying or waving
of all Events of Default which may have occurred:

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

          (2) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely,
as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any
certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this
Subordinated Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision
hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty
to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this
Subordinated Indenture;

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

     (c) the 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 Subordinated Securities
pursuant to Section 6.09 relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for
any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee,
under this Subordinated Indenture.

     None of the provisions contained in this Subordinated Indenture shall require the Trustee to
expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of
any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is

45

 

reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against
such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

     SECTION 7.02. Certain Rights of Trustee. Except as otherwise provided in Section
7.01:

     (a) The Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order,
approval, bond, debenture, note or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have
been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

     (b) Any request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned herein shall be
sufficiently evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate (unless other evidence in respect thereof shall
be herein specifically prescribed); and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be evidenced
to the Trustee by a Board Resolution;

     (c) The Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion
of 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 accordance with such written advice or
Opinion of Counsel;

     (d) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in
it by this Subordinated Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Subordinated
Securityholders pursuant to the provisions of this Subordinated Indenture, unless such Subordinated
Securityholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the
costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby;

     (e) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and
believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by
this Subordinated Indenture;

     (f) The 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 paper or document, unless requested in writing so
to do by the Holders of Subordinated Securities pursuant to Section 6.09; provided, however, that
if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely
to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not
reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Subordinated
Indenture, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such costs, expenses or liabilities
as a condition to such proceeding; and provided further, that nothing in this subsection (f) shall
require the Trustee to give the Subordinated Securityholders any notice other than that required by
Section 6.10. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Company or, if
paid by the Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Company upon demand;

     (g) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties
hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be

46

 

responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed
with due care by it hereunder; and

     (h) The Trustee shall be under no responsibility for the approval by it in good faith of any
expert for any of the purposes expressed in this Subordinated Indenture.

     SECTION 7.03. Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals or Application of Proceeds. The
recitals contained herein and in the Subordinated Securities (other than the certificate of
authentication on the Subordinated Securities) shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and
the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Subordinated Indenture or of the
Subordinated Securities. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the
Company of any of the Subordinated Securities or of the proceeds thereof.

     SECTION 7.04. Trustee May Own Subordinated Securities or Coupons. The Trustee, any
Paying Agent, registrar or any agent of the Company or of the Trustee, in its individual or any
other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Subordinated Securities or Coupons with the same
rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, registrar or such other agent.

     SECTION 7.05. Moneys Received by Trustee to be Held in Trust. Moneys held by the
Trustee in trust need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The
Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as
otherwise agreed with the Company.

     SECTION 7.06. Trustee Entitled to Compensation, Reimbursement and Indemnity. The
Company agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation (which shall not be
limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of any express trust),
and the Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses,
disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in connection with the acceptance or
administration of its trust under this Subordinated Indenture (including the reasonable
compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all Persons not regularly in
its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or
bad faith. The Company also agrees to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against,
any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee
and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, including
the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in the
premises. The obligations of the Company under this Section to compensate the Trustee, to pay or
reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances and to indemnify and hold harmless
the Trustee shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction
and discharge of this Subordinated Indenture. Such additional indebtedness shall be secured by a
lien prior to that of the Subordinated Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by
the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of or interest or
redemption premium on particular Subordinated Securities.

     SECTION 7.07. Right of Trustee to Rely on Officer’s Certificate Where No Other Evidence
Specifically Prescribed. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01, whenever
in the administration of the provisions of this Subordinated Indenture the Trustee shall deem it

47

 

necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or
omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein
specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee,
be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officer’s Certificate of the Company
delivered to the Trustee, and such Officer’s Certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith
on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or
omitted by it under the provisions of this Subordinated Indenture upon the faith thereof.

     SECTION 7.08. Disqualification; Conflicting Interest. (a) If the Trustee has or
shall acquire any conflicting interest, as defined in this Section 7.08, it shall, within 90 days
after ascertaining that it has such conflicting interest, and if the Event of Default to which such
conflicting interest relates has not been cured or duly waived or otherwise eliminated before the
end of such 90—day period, the Trustee shall either eliminate such conflicting interest or, except
as otherwise provided in this Section 7.08, resign in the manner and with the effect specified in
Section 7.10, such resignation to become effective upon the appointment of a successor trustee and
such successor’s acceptance of such appointment, and the Company shall take prompt steps to appoint
a successor in accordance with Section 7.10.

     (b) In the event that the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of subsection (a)
of this Section 7.08, the Trustee shall, within ten days after the expiration of such 90—day
period, transmit notice of such failure to the Subordinated Securityholders in the manner and to
the extent provided in subsection (c) of Section 5.04 with respect to reports pursuant to
subsection (a) of said Section 5.04.

     (c) Subject to the provisions of Section 6.11 of this Subordinated Indenture, unless the
Trustee’s duty to resign is stayed as provided in subsection (f) of this Section 7.08, any Holder
who has been a bona fide Holder of Subordinated Securities for at least six months may, on such
Holder’s behalf and on behalf of all other Holders similarly situated, petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the removal of such Trustee and the appointment of a successor, if such
Trustee fails after written request thereof by such Holder to comply with the provisions of
subsection (a) of this Section 7.08.

     (d) For the purposes of this Section 7.08 the Trustee shall be deemed to have a conflicting
interest with respect to the Subordinated Securities of any series if an Event of Default
(exclusive of any period of grace or requirement of notice) has occurred with respect to
Subordinated Securities of such series and:

          (1) the Trustee is trustee under another indenture under which any other securities, or
certificates of interest or participation in any other securities, of the Company or any other
obligor on the Subordinated Securities are outstanding or is trustee for more than one outstanding
series of securities, as hereinafter defined, under a single indenture of the Company or any other
obligor on the Subordinated Securities, unless such other indenture is a collateral trust indenture
under which the only collateral consists of Subordinated Securities issued under this Subordinated
Indenture, provided that there shall be excluded from the operation of this paragraph, this
Subordinated Indenture with respect to the Subordinated Securities of any other series Outstanding,
and any other indenture or indentures under which other securities, or certificates of interest or
participation in other securities, of the Company or any other obligor on
the Subordinated Securities are outstanding, if (A) this Subordinated Indenture is and such
other

48

 

indenture or indentures (and all series of securities issued thereunder) are wholly unsecured
and rank equally, and such other indenture or indentures (and such series) are hereafter qualified
under the Trust Indenture Act, unless the Commission shall have found and declared by order
pursuant to subsection (b) of Section 305 or subsection (c) of Section 307 of the Trust Indenture
Act, that differences exist between the provisions of this Subordinated Indenture with respect to
Subordinated Securities of such series and one or more other series, or the provisions of this
Subordinated Indenture and the provisions of such other indenture or indentures (or such series),
which are so likely to involve a material conflict of interest as to make it necessary in the
public interest or for the protection of investors to disqualify the Trustee from acting as such
under this Subordinated Indenture with respect to Subordinated Securities of such series and such
other series, or under this Subordinated Indenture and such other indenture or indentures, or (B)
the Company shall have sustained the burden of proving, on application to the Commission and after
opportunity for hearing thereon, that the trusteeship under this Subordinated Indenture with
respect to Subordinated Securities of such series and such other series, or under this Subordinated
Indenture and such other indenture, is not so likely to involve a material conflict of interest as
to make it necessary in the public interest or for the protection of investors to disqualify the
Trustee from acting as such under this Subordinated Indenture with respect to Subordinated
Securities of such series and such other series, or under this Subordinated Indenture and one of
such indentures;

          (2) the Trustee or any of its directors or executive officers is an underwriter for the
Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities;

          (3) the Trustee directly or indirectly controls or is directly or indirectly controlled by or
is under direct or indirect common control with an underwriter for the Company or any other obligor
on the Subordinated Securities;

          (4) the Trustee or any of its directors or executive officers is a director, officer, partner,
employee, appointee or representative of the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated
Securities, or of an underwriter (other than the Trustee itself) for the Company or any other
obligor on the Subordinated Securities who is currently engaged in the business of underwriting,
except that (A) one individual may be a director and/or an executive officer of the Trustee and a
director and/or an executive officer of the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated
Securities, but may not be at the same time an executive officer of both the Trustee and the
Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities; (B) if and so long as the number of
directors of the Trustee in office is more than nine, one additional individual may be a director
and/or an executive officer of the Trustee and a director of the Company or any other obligor on
the Subordinated Securities; and (C) the Trustee may be designated by the Company or any other
obligor on the Subordinated Securities or by an underwriter for the Company or any other obligor on
the Subordinated Securities to act in the capacity of transfer agent, registrar, custodian, paying
agent, fiscal agent, escrow agent or depositary, or in any other similar capacity, or, subject to
the provisions of paragraph (1) of this subsection (d), to act as trustee whether under an
indenture or otherwise;

          (5) ten percent or more of the voting securities of the Trustee is beneficially owned either
by the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities or by any director, partner or
executive officer thereof, or 20% or more of such voting securities is
beneficially owned, collectively, by any two or more of such Persons; or ten percent or more of

49

 

the voting securities of the Trustee is beneficially owned either by an underwriter for the
Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities or by any director, partner or
executive officer thereof or is beneficially owned, collectively, by any two or more such Persons;

          (6) the Trustee is the beneficial owner of, or holds as collateral security for an obligation
which is in default, as hereinafter defined, (A) five percent or more of the voting securities, or
ten percent or more of any other class of security, of the Company or any other obligor on the
Subordinated Securities, not including the Subordinated Securities issued under this Subordinated
Indenture and securities issued under any other indenture under which the Trustee is also trustee,
or (B) ten percent or more of any class of security of an underwriter for the Company or any other
obligor on the Subordinated Securities;

          (7) the Trustee is the beneficial owner of, or holds as collateral security for an obligation
which is in default, as hereinafter defined, five percent or more of the voting securities of any
Person who, to the knowledge of the Trustee, owns ten percent or more of the voting securities of,
or controls directly or indirectly or is under direct or indirect common control with the Company
or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities;

          (8) the Trustee is the beneficial owner of, or holds as collateral security for an obligation
which is in default, as hereinafter defined, ten percent or more of any class of security of any
Person who, to the knowledge of the Trustee, owns 50% or more of the voting securities of the
Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities;

          (9) the Trustee owns on the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default (exclusive of any
period of grace or requirement of notice) or any anniversary thereof while such Event of Default
remains outstanding, in the capacity of executor, administrator, testamentary or inter vivos
trustee, guardian, committee or conservator, or in any other similar capacity an aggregate of 25%
or more of the voting securities or of any class of security, of any Person, the beneficial
ownership of a specified percentage of which would have constituted a conflicting interest under
paragraph (6), (7) or (8) of this subsection (d). As to any such securities of which the Trustee
acquired ownership through becoming executor, administrator or testamentary trustee of an estate
which included them, the provisions of the preceding sentence shall not apply, for a period of two
years from the date of such acquisition, to the extent that such securities included in such estate
do not exceed 25% of such voting securities or 25% of any such class of security. Promptly after
the date of the occurrence of any such Event of Default and annually in each succeeding year that
the Subordinated Securities or any series thereof remain in default, the Trustee shall make a check
of its holdings of such securities in any of the above—mentioned capacities as of such date. If
the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities fails to make payment in full of
principal of or interest on any of the Subordinated Securities when and as the same become due and
payable and such failure continues for 30 days thereafter, the Trustee shall make a prompt check of
its holdings of such securities in any of the above—mentioned capacities as of the date of the
expiration of such 30—day period, and after such date, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
this paragraph (9), all such securities so held by the Trustee, with sole or joint control over
such securities vested in it, shall, but only so long as such failure shall continue, be considered
as though beneficially owned by the Trustee for the purposes of paragraphs (6), (7) and (8) of this
subsection (d); or

50

 

          (10) except under the circumstances described in paragraphs (1), (3), (4), (5) or (6) of
Section 7.13(b), the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company or any other obligor on
the Subordinated Securities.

     The specifications of percentages in paragraphs (5) to (9), inclusive, of this subsection (d)
shall not be construed as indicating that the ownership of such percentages of the securities of a
Person is or is not necessary or sufficient to constitute direct or indirect control for the
purposes of paragraph (3) or (7) of this subsection (d).

     For the purposes of paragraphs (6), (7), (8) and (9) of this subsection (d) only, (A) the
terms “security” and “securities” shall include only such securities as are generally known as
corporate securities, but shall not include any note or other evidence of indebtedness issued to
evidence an obligation to repay moneys lent to a Person by one or more banks, trust companies or
banking firms, or any certificate of interest or participation in any such note or evidence of
indebtedness; (B) an obligation shall be deemed to be in default when a default in payment of
principal shall have continued for 30 days or more and shall not have been cured; and (C) the
Trustee shall not be deemed to be the owner or Holder of (i) any security which it holds as
collateral security (as trustee or otherwise) for an obligation which is not in default as defined
in clause (B) above, or (ii) any security which it holds as collateral security under this
Subordinated Indenture, irrespective of any default hereunder, or (iii) any security which it holds
as agent for collection, or as custodian, escrow agent or depositary, or in any similar
representative capacity.

     (e) For the purposes of this Section 7.08:

          (1) The term “underwriter” when used with reference to the Company or any other obligor on the
Subordinated Securities shall mean every Person who, within one year prior to the time as of which
the determination is made, has purchased from the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated
Securities with a view to, or has offered or sold for the Company or any other obligor on the
Subordinated Securities in connection with, the distribution of any security of the Company or any
other obligor on the Subordinated Securities outstanding at such time, or has participated or has
had a direct or indirect participation in any such undertaking, or has participated or has had a
participation in the direct or indirect underwriting of any such undertaking, but such term shall
not include a Person whose interest was limited to a commission from an underwriter or dealer not

thereof to vote in the direction or management of the affairs of a Person, or any security issued
under or pursuant to any trust, agreement or arrangement whereby a trustee or trustees or agent or
agents for the owner or Holder of such security are presently entitled to vote in the direction or
management of the affairs of a Person.

51

 

          (5) The term “executive officer” shall mean the president, every vice—president, every trust
officer, the cashier, the secretary and the treasurer of a Company, and any individual customarily
performing similar functions with respect to any organization whether incorporated or
unincorporated, but shall not include the chairman of the board of directors.

          (6) Except for purposes of paragraphs (6), (7), (8) and (9) of subsection (d) of this Section
7.08, the term “security” or “securities” shall mean any note, stock, treasury stock, bond,
debenture, evidence of indebtedness, certificate of interest or participation in any
profit—sharing agreement, collateral—trust certificate, pre—organization certificate or
subscription, transferable share, investment contract, voting—trust certificate, certificate of
deposit for a security, fractional undivided interest in oil, gas or other mineral rights, or, in
general, any interest or instrument commonly known as a “security” or any certificate of interest
or participation in, temporary or interim certificate for, receipt for, guarantee of, or warrant or
right to subscribe to or purchase, any of the foregoing.

          (7) For the purpose of subsection (d)(1) of this Section 7.08, the term “series of securities”
or “series” means a series, class or group of securities issuable under an indenture pursuant to
whose terms Holders of one such series may vote to direct the indenture trustee, or otherwise take
action pursuant to a vote of such holders, separately from holders of another such series;
provided, that “series of securities” or “series” shall not include any series of securities
issuable under an indenture if all such series rank equally and are wholly unsecured.

     The percentages of voting securities and other securities specified in this Section shall be
calculated in accordance with the following provisions:

          (A) A specified percentage of the voting securities of the Trustee, the Company or any other
Person referred to in this Section 7.08 (each of whom is referred to as a “Person” in this
paragraph) means such amount of the outstanding voting securities of such Person as entitles the

direction or management of the affairs of such Person.

          (B) A specified percentage of a class of securities of a Person means such percentage of the
aggregate amount of securities of the class outstanding.

          (C) The term “amount”, when used in regard to securities, means the principal amount if
relating to evidences of indebtedness, the number of shares if relating to capital shares, and the
number of units if relating to any other kind of security.

          (D) The term “outstanding” means issued and not held by or for the account of the issuer. The
following securities shall not be deemed outstanding within the meaning of this definition:

               (i) Subordinated Securities of an issuer held in a sinking fund relating to securities of the
issuer of the same class;

52

 

               (ii) Subordinated Securities of an issuer held in a sinking fund relating to another class of
securities of the issuer, if the obligation evidenced by such other class of securities is not in
default as to principal or interest or otherwise;

               (iii) Subordinated Securities pledged by the issuer thereof as security for an obligation of
the issuer not in default as to principal or interest or otherwise; and

               (iv) Subordinated Securities held in escrow if placed in escrow by the issuer thereof;

provided, however, that any voting securities of an issuer shall be deemed outstanding if any
Person other than the issuer is entitled to exercise the voting rights thereof.

          (E) A security shall be deemed to be of the same class as another security if both securities
confer upon the Holder or Holders thereof substantially the same rights and privileges, provided,
however, that, in the case of secured evidences of indebtedness, all of which are issued under a
single indenture, differences in the interest rates or maturity dates of various series thereof
shall not be deemed sufficient to constitute such series different classes, and provided further
that, in the case of unsecured evidences of indebtedness, differences in the interest rate or
maturity dates thereof shall not be deemed sufficient to constitute them securities of different
classes, whether or not they are issued under a single indenture.

     (f) Except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any
Subordinated Securities, or in the payment of any sinking or purchase fund installment, the Trustee
shall not be required to resign as provided by this Section 7.08 if the Trustee shall have
sustained the burden of proving, on application to the Commission and after opportunity for hearing
thereon, that (i) the default under this Subordinated Indenture may be cured or waived during a
reasonable period and under the procedures described in such application, and (ii) a stay of the
Trustee’s duty to resign will not be inconsistent with the interests of Holders of such series of
Subordinated Securities. The filing of such an application shall automatically stay the
performance of the duty to resign until the Commission orders otherwise. Any resignation of the
Trustee shall become effective only upon the appointment of a successor trustee and such
successor’s acceptance of such appointment.

     SECTION 7.09. Requirements for Eligibility of Trustee. There shall always be at
least one Trustee hereunder. The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a Company organized and
doing business as a commercial bank under the laws of the United States of America or any state
thereof or of the District of Columbia or a Company or other Person permitted to act as a trustee
by the Commission and, in each case, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers,
having (or, in the case of a subsidiary of a bank holding company, its bank holding company parent
shall have) a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, and subject to supervision or
examination by Federal, State or District of Columbia authority. If such Company or bank holding
company parent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this
Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Company or bank holding company parent shall be
deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition
so published. No obligor on the Subordinated Securities or Person directly or indirectly
controlling, controlled by or under common control with such

53

 

obligor shall serve as Trustee. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.09, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the
manner and with the effect specified in this Article Seven.

     SECTION 7.10. Resignation and Removal of Trustee; Appointment of Successor.
(a) The Trustee, or any trustee or trustees hereafter appointed, may at any time resign with
respect to one or more or all series of Subordinated Securities by giving written notice of
resignation to the Company and (i) if any Unregistered Subordinated Securities of a series affected
are then Outstanding, by giving notice of such resignation to the Holders thereof, by publication
at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and at
least once in an Authorized Newspaper in London (and, if required by Section 4.09, at least once in
an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg), (ii) if any Unregistered Subordinated Securities of a
series affected are then Outstanding, by mailing notice of such resignation to the Holders thereof
who have filed their names and addresses with the Trustee pursuant to Section 313(c)(2) of the
Trust Indenture Act at such addresses as were so furnished to the Trustee and (iii) by mailing
notice of such resignation to the Holders of then Outstanding Registered Securities of each series
affected at their addresses as they shall appear on the registry books. Upon receiving such notice
of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee or trustees with respect to
the applicable series by written instrument in duplicate, executed by authority of the Board of
Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to
the successor trustee or trustees. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed with
respect to any series and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the mailing of such notice
of resignation, the resigning trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor trustee, or any Subordinated Securityholder who has been a bona fide
Holder of a Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities of the applicable series for at least
six months may, subject to the provisions of Section 5.12, on behalf of himself and all others
similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court
may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor
trustee.

     (b) In case at any time any of the following shall occur:

          (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of subsection (a) of Section 7.08
after written request therefor by the Company or by any Subordinated Securityholder who has been a
bona fide Holder of a Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities of the applicable series for
at least six months; or

          (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.09
and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Subordinated
Securityholder; or

          (3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or
insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose
of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation; or

          (4) the Company shall determine that the Trustee has failed to perform its obligations under
this Subordinated Indenture in any material respect, then, in any such case, the

54

 

Company may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument executed
by an authorized officer of the Company, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the
Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of Section
6.11, any Subordinated Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Subordinated Security or
Subordinated Securities of the affected series for at least six months may, on such Person’s behalf
and on behalf of all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee with respect to such series.
Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove
the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.

     (c) The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Subordinated Securities Outstanding
(determined as provided in Section 8.04) may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor
trustee by written instrument or instruments signed by such Holders or their attorneys—in—fact
duly authorized, or by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of a meeting of the
Subordinated Securityholders evidencing the vote upon a resolution or resolutions submitted thereto
with respect to such removal and appointment (as provided in Article Nine), and by delivery thereof
to the Trustee so removed, to the successor trustee and to the Company.

     (d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and any appointment of a successor trustee
pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 7.10 shall become effective upon acceptance of
appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 7.11.

     SECTION 7.11. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee
appointed as provided in Section 7.10 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to
its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the
resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor
trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights,
powers, duties and obligations with respect to such series of its predecessor hereunder, with like
effect as if originally named as trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the
Company or of the successor trustee, the trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any amounts
then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06, execute and deliver an instrument
transferring to such successor trustee all the rights and powers with respect to the trustee so
ceasing to act. Upon written request of any such successor trustee, the Company shall execute any
and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such
successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless,
retain a lien upon all property or funds held or collected by such trustee to secure any amounts
then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06.

     No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 7.11 unless at the
time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be qualified under the provisions of Section
7.08 and eligible under the provisions of Section 7.09.

     Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 7.11, the
Company shall give notice thereof (a) if any Unregistered Subordinated Securities of a series
affected are then Outstanding, to the Holders thereof, by publication of such notice at least once
in an Authorized Newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and at least once in
an Authorized Newspaper in London (and, if required by Section 3.09, at least once in an

55

 

Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg), (b) if any Unregistered Subordinated Securities of a
series affected are then Outstanding, to the Holders thereof who have filed their names and
addresses with the Trustee pursuant to Section 313(c)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act, by mailing
such notice to such Holders at such addresses as were so furnished to the Trustee (and the Trustee
shall make such information available to the Company for such purpose) and (c) to the Holders of
Registered Subordinated Securities of each series affected, by mailing such notice to such Holders
at their addresses as they shall appear on the registry books. If the acceptance of appointment is
substantially contemporaneous with the resignation, then the notice called for by the preceding
sentence may be combined with the notice called for by Section 7.10. If the Company fails to give
such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor
trustee shall cause such notice to be given at the expense of the Company.

     SECTION 7.12. Successor to Trustee by Merger, Consolidation or Succession to
Business. Any Company into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may
be consolidated, or any Company resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the
Trustee shall be a party, or any Company succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate
trust business of the Trustee (including the administration of the trust created by this
Indenture), shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such Company shall be
qualified under the provisions of Section 7.08 and eligible under the provisions of Section 7.09,
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties
hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

     In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this
Subordinated Indenture any of the Subordinated Securities shall have been authenticated but not
delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any
predecessor Trustee, and deliver such Subordinated Securities so authenticated; and in case at that
time any of the Subordinated Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the
Trustee may authenticate such Subordinated Securities either in the name of any predecessor
hereunder or in the name of the successor Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall
have the full force which it is anywhere in the Subordinated Securities or in this Subordinated
Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have; provided, however, that the
right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or to authenticate
Subordinated Securities in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or
successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.

     SECTION 7.13. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. (a) Subject to the
provisions of subsection (b) of this Section 7.13, if the Trustee shall be or shall become a
creditor, directly or indirectly, secured or unsecured, of the Company or any other obligor on the
Subordinated Securities within three months prior to a default, as defined in subsection (c) of
this Section 7.13, or subsequent to such a default, then, unless and until such default shall be
cured, the Trustee shall set apart and hold in a special account for the benefit of the Trustee
individually, the Holders of the Subordinated Securities for which it is acting as Trustee, and the
holders of other indenture securities (as defined in subsection (c) of this Section 7.13):

          (1) an amount equal to any and all reductions in the amount due and owing upon any claim as
such creditor in respect of principal or interest, effected after the beginning of such three
months’ period, and valid as against the Company or such other obligor on the

56

 

Subordinated Securities and its other creditors, except any such reduction resulting from the
receipt or disposition of any property described in paragraph (2) of this subsection, or from the
exercise of any right of set—off which the Trustee could have exercised if a petition in
bankruptcy had been filed by or against the Company or such other obligor on the Subordinated
Securities upon the date of such default; and

          (2) all property received by the Trustee in respect of any claims as such creditor, either as
security therefor, or in satisfaction or composition thereof, or otherwise, after the beginning of
such three months’ period, or an amount equal to the proceeds of any such property if disposed of,
subject, however, to the rights, if any, of the Company or such other obligor on the Subordinated
Securities and their respective other creditors in such property or such proceeds.

     Nothing herein contained, however, shall affect the right of the Trustee:

          (A) to retain for its own account (i) payments made on account of any such claim by any Person
(other than the Company or such other obligor on the Subordinated Securities) who is liable
thereon, and (ii) the proceeds of the bona fide sale of any such claim by the Trustee to a third
Person, and (iii) distributions made in cash, securities or other property in respect of claims
filed against the Company or such other obligor on the Subordinated Securities in bankruptcy or
receivership or in proceedings for reorganization pursuant to Title 11 of the United States Code or
applicable State laws;

          (B) to realize, for its own account, upon any property held by it as security for any such
claim, if such property was so held prior to the beginning of such three months’ period;

          (C) to realize, for its own account, but only to the extent of the claim hereinafter
mentioned, upon any property held by it as security for any such claim, if such claim was created
after the beginning of such three months’ period and such property was received as security
therefor simultaneously with the creation thereof, and if the Trustee shall sustain the burden of
proving that at the time such property was so received, the Trustee had no reasonable cause to
believe that a default, as defined in subsection (c) of this Section 7.13, would occur within three
months; or

          (D) to receive payment on any claim referred to in paragraph (B) or (C), against the release
of any property held as security for such claim as provided in such paragraph (B) or (C), as the
case may be, to the extent of the fair value of such property.

     For the purposes of paragraphs (B), (C) and (D), property substituted after the beginning of
such three months’ period for property held as security at the time of such substitution shall, to
the extent of the fair value of the property released, have the same status as the property
released, and to the extent that any claim referred to in any of such paragraphs is created in
renewal of or in substitution for or for the purpose of repaying or refunding any preexisting claim
of the Trustee as such creditor, such claim shall have the same status as such preexisting claim.

     If the Trustee shall be required to account, the funds and property held in such special
account and the proceeds thereof shall be apportioned among the Trustee, the Holders of
Subordinated Securities for which it is acting as Trustee, and the holders of other indenture

57

 

securities in such manner that the Trustee, such Subordinated Securityholders and the holders
of other indenture securities realize, as a result of payments from such special account and
payments of dividends on claims filed against the Company or such other obligor on the Subordinated
Securities in bankruptcy or receivership or in proceedings for reorganization pursuant to Title 11
of the United States Code or applicable State law, the same percentage of their respective claims,
figured before crediting to the claim of the Trustee anything on account of the receipt by it from
the Company or such other obligor on the Subordinated Securities of the funds and property in such
special account and before crediting to the respective claims of the Trustee, such Subordinated
Securityholders, and the holders of other indenture securities dividends on claims filed against
the Company or such other obligor on the Subordinated Securities in bankruptcy or receivership or
in proceedings for reorganization pursuant to Title 11 of the United States Code or applicable
State law, but after crediting thereon receipts on account of the indebtedness represented by their
respective claims from all sources other than from such dividends and from the funds and property
so held in such special account. As used in this paragraph, with respect to any claim, the term
“dividends” shall include any distribution with respect to such claim in bankruptcy or receivership
or in proceedings for reorganization pursuant to Title 11 of the United States Code or applicable
State law, whether such distribution is made in cash, securities or other property, but shall not
include any such distribution with respect to the secured portion, if any, of such claim. The
court in which such bankruptcy, receivership or proceeding for reorganization is pending shall have
jurisdiction (i) to apportion among the Trustee, such Subordinated Securityholders, and the holders
of other indenture securities, in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph, the funds and
property held in such special account and the proceeds thereof, or (ii) in lieu of such
apportionment in whole or in part, to give to the provisions of this paragraph due consideration in
determining the fairness of the distributions to be made to the Trustee, such Subordinated
Securityholders and the holders of other indenture securities with respect to their respective
claims, in which event it shall not be necessary to liquidate or to appraise the value of any
securities or other property held in such special account or as security for any such claim, or to
make a specific allocation of such distributions as between the secured and unsecured portions of
such claim, or otherwise to apply the provisions of this paragraph as a mathematical formula.

     Any Trustee who has resigned or been removed after the beginning of such three months’ period
shall be subject to the provisions of this subsection (a) as though such resignation or removal had
not occurred. If any Trustee has resigned or been removed prior to the beginning of such three
months’ period, it shall be subject to the provisions of this subsection (a) if and only if the
following conditions exist:

          (i) the receipt of property or reduction of claim which would have given rise to the
obligation to account, if such Trustee had continued, as trustee, occurred after the beginning of
such three months’ period; and

          (ii) such receipt of property or reduction of claim occurred within three months after such
resignation or removal.

     In every case commenced under the Bankruptcy Act of 1898, or any amendment thereto enacted
prior to November 6, 1978, all references to periods of three months shall be deemed to be
references to periods of four months.

58

 

     (b) There shall be excluded from the operation of subsection (a) of this Section 7.13 a
creditor relationship arising from:

          (1) the ownership or acquisition of securities issued under any indenture, or any security or
securities having a maturity of one year or more at the time of acquisition by the Trustee;

          (2) advances authorized by a receivership or bankruptcy court of competent jurisdiction, or by
this Subordinated Indenture, for the purpose of preserving any property which shall at any time be
subject to the lien of this Subordinated Indenture or of discharging tax liens or other prior liens
or encumbrances thereon, if notice of such advance and of the circumstances surrounding the making
thereof is given to the Subordinated Securityholders at the time and in the manner provided in
Section 5.04(c) with respect to reports pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) thereof, respectively;

          (3) disbursements made in the ordinary course of business in the capacity of trustee under an
indenture, transfer agent, registrar, custodian, paying agent, fiscal agent or depositary, or other
similar capacity;

          (4) an indebtedness created as a result of services rendered or premises rented, or an
indebtedness created as a result of goods or securities sold in a cash transaction as defined in
subsection (c) of this Section 7.13;

          (5) the ownership of stock or of other securities of a Company organized under the provisions
of Section 25(a) of the Federal Reserve Act, as amended, which is directly or indirectly a creditor
of the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities; and

          (6) the acquisition, ownership, acceptance or negotiation of any drafts, bills of exchange,
acceptances or obligations which fall within the classification of self—liquidating paper as
defined in subsection (c) of this Section 7.13.

     (c) As used in this Section 7.13 the following terms shall be accorded the following
definitions:

          (1) the term “default” shall mean any failure to make payment in full of the principal of or
interest on any of the Subordinated Securities or on the other indenture securities when and as
such principal or interest becomes due and payable.

          (2) the term “other indenture securities” shall mean securities upon which the Company or any
other obligor on the Subordinated Securities is an “obligor” (as defined in the Trust Indenture
Act) outstanding under any other indenture (A) under which the Trustee is also trustee, (B) which
contains provisions substantially similar to the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 7.13,
and (C) under which a default exists at the time of the apportionment of the funds and property
held in said special account.

          (3) the term “cash transaction” shall mean any transaction in which full payment for goods or
securities sold is made within seven days after delivery of the goods or

59

 

securities in currency or in checks or other orders drawn upon banks or bankers and payable
upon demand.

          (4) the term “self—liquidating paper” shall mean any draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or
obligation which is made, drawn, negotiated or incurred by the Company or any other obligor on the
Subordinated Securities for the purpose of financing the purchase, processing, manufacture,
shipment, storage or sale of goods, wares or merchandise and which is secured by documents
evidencing title to, possession of, or a lien upon, the goods, wares or merchandise or the
receivables or proceeds arising from the sale of the goods, wares or merchandise previously
constituting the security, provided the security is received by the Trustee simultaneously with the
creation of the creditor relationship with the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated
Securities arising from the making, drawing, negotiating or incurring of the draft, bill of
exchange, acceptance or obligation.

     SECTION 7.14. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. As long as any Subordinated
Securities of a series remain Outstanding, the Trustee may, by an instrument in writing, appoint
with the approval of the Company an authenticating agent (the “Authenticating Agent”) which shall
be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Subordinated Securities, including
Subordinated Securities issued upon exchange, registration of transfer, partial redemption or
pursuant to Section 2.09. Subordinated Securities of each such series authenticated by such
Authenticating Agent shall be entitled to the benefits of this Subordinated Indenture and shall be
valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee. Whenever reference is
made in this Subordinated Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Subordinated Securities
of any series by the Trustee or to the Trustee’s Certificate of Authentication, such reference
shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent for such series and a Certificate of Authentication executed on behalf of the
Trustee by such Authenticating Agent. Such Authenticating Agent shall at all times be a
corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any
State, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having (or in the case of a
subsidiary of a bank holding company, its bank holding company parent shall have) a combined
capital and surplus of at least $45,000,000 (determined as provided in Section 7.09 with respect to
the Trustee) and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority.

     Any corporation into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted, or with which
it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation
to which any Authenticating Agent (including the agency contemplated by this Indenture) shall be a
party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency business of any Authenticating Agent,
shall continue to be the authenticating Agent with respect to all series of Subordinated Securities
for which it served as Authenticating Agent without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of the Trustee or such Authenticating Agent. Any Authenticating Agent may
at any time, and if it shall cease to be eligible shall, resign by giving written notice of
resignation to the Trustee and to the Company.

     Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case in any time
any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 7.14 with respect to one or more series of Subordinated Securities, the Trustee shall upon
receipt of a Company Order appoint a successor Authenticating Agent and the Company shall

60

 

provide notice of such appointment to all Holders of Subordinated Securities of such series in
the manner and to the extent provided in Section 13.02. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon
acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all rights, powers, duties and
responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as
Authenticating Agent. The Company agrees to pay to the Authenticating Agent for such series from
time to time reasonable compensation. The Authenticating Agent for the Subordinated Securities of
any series shall have no responsibility or liability for any action taken by it as such at the
direction of the Trustee.

     If an appointment is made with respect to one or more series pursuant to this Section, the
Subordinated Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s
certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication substantially in the
following form:

     This is one of the Subordinated Securities described in the within—mentioned Subordinated
Indenture.

	 	 	 	 	 
	 	U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee

 	 
	 	By  	 	 
	 	 	As Authenticating Agent 	 
	 	 	 	 
	 
	 	 	 
	 	By  	
 	 
	 	 	Authorized Signatory 	 
	 	 	 	 
	 

     Sections 7.02, 7.03, 7.04, 7.06 and 8.03 shall be applicable to any Authenticating Agent.

61

 

ARTICLE EIGHT

CONCERNING THE SUBORDINATED SECURITYHOLDERS

     SECTION 8.01. Evidence of Action by Subordinated Securityholders. Whenever in this
Subordinated Indenture it is provided that the Holders of a specified percentage in principal
amount of the Subordinated Securities of any or all series may take any action (including the
making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any
other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action the Holders of such specified
percentage have joined therein may be evidenced (a) by any instrument or any number of instruments
of similar tenor executed by such Subordinated Securityholders in Person or by agent or proxy
appointed in writing, or (b) by the record of such Holders of Subordinated Securities voting in
favor thereof at any meeting of such Subordinated Securityholders duly called and held in
accordance with the provisions of Article Nine, or (c) by a combination of such instrument or
instruments and any such record of such a meeting of such Subordinated Securityholders.

     SECTION 8.02. Proof of Execution of Instruments and of Holding of Subordinated
Securities. Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01, 7.02 and 9.05, proof of the execution
of any instrument by a Subordinated Securityholder or such Holder’s agent or proxy and proof of the
holding by any Person of any of the Subordinated Securities shall be sufficient if made in the
following manner:

     (a) The fact and date of the execution by any such Person of any instrument may be proved in
any reasonable manner acceptable to the Trustee;

     (b) The ownership of Subordinated Securities of any series (including Registered Global
Subordinated Securities) shall be proved by the Register of such Subordinated Securities of such
series, or by certificates of the Subordinated Security registrar or registrars thereof.

     The Trustee shall not be bound to recognize any Person as a Subordinated Securityholder unless
and until such Person’s title to the Subordinated Securities held by it is proved in the manner in
this Article Eight provided.

     The record of any Subordinated Securityholders’ meeting shall be proved in the manner provided
in Section 9.06.

     The Trustee may accept such other proof or require such additional proof of any matter
referred to in this Section 8.02 as it shall deem reasonable.

     SECTION 8.03. Who May be Deemed Owners of Subordinated Securities. Prior to due
presentment for transfer of any Subordinated Security, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of
the Company or the Trustee may deem and treat the Person in whose name such Subordinated Security
shall be registered upon the Register of Subordinated Securities of the series of which such
Subordinated Security is a part as the absolute owner of such Subordinated Security (whether or not
such Subordinated Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other
writing thereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and
interest, subject to the provisions of this Subordinated Indenture,
on such

62

 

Subordinated Security and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the
Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary. All such payments so made to any such Holder for the time being, or upon such Holder’s
order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and
discharge the liability of moneys payable upon any such Subordinated Security. The Company, the
Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Holder of any Unregistered
Subordinated Security and the Holder of any Coupon as the absolute owner of such Unregistered
Subordinated Security or Coupon (whether or not such Unregistered Subordinated Security or Coupon
shall be overdue) for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for all
other purposes and neither the Company, the Trustee, nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee
shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments so made to any such person, or
upon his order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy
and discharge the liability for moneys payable upon any such Unregistered Subordinated Security or
Coupon.

     If the Subordinated Securities of any series are issued in the form of one or more Registered
Global Subordinated Securities, the Depository therefor may grant proxies to Persons having a
beneficial ownership in such Registered Global Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities for
purposes of voting or otherwise responding to any request for consent, waiver or other action which
the Holder of such Registered Subordinated Security is entitled to grant or take under this
Subordinated Indenture and the Trustee shall accept such proxies for the purposes granted; provided
that neither the Trustee nor the Company shall have any obligation with respect to the grant of or
solicitation by the Depository of such proxies.

     SECTION 8.04. Subordinated Securities Owned by the Company or Controlled or Controlling
Persons Disregarded for Certain Purposes. In determining whether the Holders of the requisite
principal amount of Subordinated Securities have concurred in any demand, direction, request,
notice, vote, consent, waiver or other action under this Subordinated Indenture, Subordinated
Securities which are owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities or by
any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common
control with the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities shall be disregarded
and deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination, provided that for the
purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such demand,
direction, request, notice, vote, consent, waiver or other action, only Subordinated Securities
which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to its Principal Office knows are so owned
shall be so disregarded. Subordinated Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith may
be regarded as Outstanding for the purposes of this Section 8.04, if the pledgee shall establish to
the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to vote such Subordinated Securities and that
the pledgee is not a Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or
indirect common control with the Company or any such other obligor.

     Upon request of the Trustee, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officer’s
Certificate listing and identifying all Subordinated Securities, if any, known by the Company to be
owned or held by or for the account of the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated
Securities or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or
indirect common control with the Company or any other obligor on the

63

 

Subordinated Securities; and, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, the Trustee shall be
entitled to accept such Officer’s Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth
and of the fact that all Subordinated Securities not listed therein are Outstanding for the purpose
of any such determination.

     SECTION 8.05. Instruments Executed by Subordinated Securityholders Bind Future
Holders. At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in
Section 8.01, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage in principal amount of
the Subordinated Securities specified in this Subordinated Indenture in connection with such
action, any Holder of a Subordinated Security which is shown by the evidence to be included in the
Subordinated Securities the Holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written
notice with the Trustee at its principal office and upon proof of holding as provided in Section
8.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Subordinated Security. Except as aforesaid any
such action taken by the Holder of any Subordinated Security and any direction, demand, request,
notice, waiver, consent, vote or other action of the Holder of any Subordinated Security which by
any provisions of this Subordinated Indenture is required or permitted to be given shall be
conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Subordinated
Security, and of any Subordinated Security issued in lieu thereof, irrespective of whether any
notation in regard thereto is made upon such Subordinated Security. Any action taken by the
Holders of the percentage in principal amount of the Subordinated Securities of any or all series
specified in this Subordinated Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively
binding upon the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of all of the Subordinated Securities of such
series subject, however, to the provisions of Section 7.01.

ARTICLE NINE

SUBORDINATED SECURITYHOLDERS’ MEETINGS

     SECTION 9.01. Purposes for Which Meetings May be Called. A meeting of Holders of
Subordinated Securities of any or all series may be called at any time and from time to time
pursuant to the provisions of this Article for any of the following purposes:

          (a) to give any notice to the Company or to the Trustee, or to give any directions to the

other action authorized to be taken by Holders of Subordinated Securities of any or all series, as
the case may be, pursuant to any of the provisions of Article Six;

          (b) to remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee pursuant to the provisions of
Article Seven;

          (c) to consent to the execution of an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto pursuant to
the provisions of Section 10.02; or

          (d) to take any other action authorized to be taken by or on behalf of the Holders of any
specified principal amount of the Subordinated Securities of any or all series, as the case may be,
under any other provision of this Subordinated Indenture or under applicable law.

64

 

     SECTION 9.02. Manner of Calling Meetings. The Trustee may at any time call a meeting
of Subordinated Securityholders to take any action specified in Section 9.01, to be held at such
time and at such place in The City of New York, New York, as the Trustee shall determine. Notice
of every meeting of Subordinated Securityholders, setting forth the time and place of such meeting
and in general terms the action proposed to be taken at such meeting, shall be mailed not less than
20 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for the meeting.

     SECTION 9.03. Call of Meeting by the Company or Subordinated Securityholders. In
case at any time the Company pursuant to a resolution of its Board of Directors, or the Holders of
not less than ten percent in principal amount of the Subordinated Securities of any or all series,
as the case may be, then Outstanding, shall have requested the Trustee to call a meeting of Holders
of Subordinated Securities of any or all series, as the case may be, to take any action authorized
in Section 9.01 by written request setting forth in reasonable detail the action proposed to be
taken at the meeting, and the Trustee shall not have mailed notice of such meeting within 20 days
after receipt of such request, then the Company or such Holders of Subordinated Securities in the
amount above specified may determine the time and place in either the City and County of Los
Angeles, California or The City of New York, New York for such meeting and may call such meeting to
take any action authorized in Section 9.01, by mailing (and publishing, if required) notice thereof
as provided in Section 9.02.

     SECTION 9.04. Who May Attend and Vote at Meetings. To be entitled to vote at any
meeting of Subordinated Securityholders a Person shall (a) be a Holder of one or more Subordinated
Securities with respect to which the meeting is being held; or (b) be a Person appointed by an
instrument in writing as proxy by such Holder of one or more Subordinated Securities. The only
Persons who shall be entitled to be present or to speak at any meeting of Subordinated
Securityholders shall be the Persons entitled to vote at such meeting and their counsel and any
representatives of the Trustee and its counsel and any representatives of the Company and its
counsel.

     SECTION 9.05. Regulations May be Made by Trustee; Conduct of the Meeting; Voting Rights
— Adjournment. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Subordinated Indenture, the
Trustee may make such reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable for any meeting of
Subordinated Securityholders, in regard to proof of the holding of Subordinated Securities and of
the appointment of proxies, and in regard to the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the
submission and examination of proxies, certificates and other evidence of the right to vote, and
such other matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it shall think fit. Except as
otherwise permitted or required by any such regulations, the holding of Subordinated Securities
shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 8.02. and the appointment of any proxy shall be
proved in the manner specified in said Section 8.02; provided, however, that such regulations may
provide that written instruments appointing proxies regular on their face, may be presumed valid
and genuine without the proof hereinabove or in said Section 8.02 specified.

     The Trustee shall by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting,
unless the meeting shall have been called by the Company or by Subordinated Securityholders as
provided in Section 9.03, in which case the Company or the Subordinated Securityholders calling the
meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary
chairman. A permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by
majority vote of the meeting.

     Subject to the provisions of Section 8.04, at any meeting each Subordinated Securityholder or
proxy shall be entitled to one vote for each $1,000 (or [Euro] 1,000) principal amount (in the case
of Original Issue Discount Subordinated Securities, such principal amount shall be equal to such
portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such series) of Subordinated
Securities held or represented by such Holder; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or
counted at any meeting in respect of any Subordinated Security challenged as not Outstanding and
ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be not Outstanding. The chairman of the meeting shall have
no right to vote other than by virtue of Subordinated Securities held by such Person or instruments
in writing as aforesaid duly designating such Person as the Person to vote on behalf of other
Subordinated Securityholders. Any meeting of Subordinated Securityholders duly called pursuant to
the provisions of Section 9.02 or 9.03 may be adjourned from time to time, and the meeting may be
held so adjourned without further notice.

     At any meeting of Subordinated Securityholders, the presence of Persons holding or
representing Subordinated Securities in principal amount sufficient to take action on the business
for the transaction of which such meeting was called shall constitute a quorum, but, if less than a
quorum is present, the Persons holding or representing a majority in principal amount of the
Subordinated Securities represented at the meeting may adjourn such meeting with the same effect
for all intents and purposes, as though a quorum had been present.

     SECTION 9.06. Manner of Voting at Meetings and Record to be Kept. The vote upon any
resolution submitted to any meeting of Subordinated Securityholders shall be by written ballots on
which shall be subscribed the signatures of the Holders of Subordinated Securities or of their
representatives by proxy and the principal amount or principal amounts of the Subordinated
Securities held or represented by them. The permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint two
inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against any resolution and
who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in
duplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record in duplicate of the proceedings of each
meeting of Subordinated Securityholders shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there
shall be attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by
ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more Persons having knowledge of the facts setting
forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was mailed as provided in
Section 9.02. The record shall show the principal amount or principal amounts of the Subordinated
Securities voting in favor of or against any resolution. The record shall be signed and verified
by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and one copy thereof shall
be delivered to the Company and the other to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee.

     Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated.

     SECTION 9.07. Exercise of Rights of Trustee and Subordinated Securityholders Not to be
Hindered or Delayed. Nothing in this Article Nine contained shall be deemed or construed to
authorize or permit, by reason of any call of a meeting of Subordinated
Securityholders or any rights expressly or impliedly conferred hereunder to make such call,
any hindrances or delay in the exercise of any right or rights conferred upon or reserved to the
Trustee or to the

66

 

Subordinated Securityholders under any of the provisions of this Subordinated
Indenture or of the Subordinated Securities.

Subordinated Securities, the Company and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter
into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall comply with the provisions of the
Trust Indenture Act as then in effect) for one or more of the following purposes:

     (a) to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge to the Trustee as security for the
Subordinated Securities of one or more series any property or assets;

     (b) if deemed appropriate by the Company or required by law, to evidence the succession of
another Company to the Company or successive successions and the assumption by the successor
Company of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Company pursuant to Article Four
hereof;

     (c) to add to the covenants of the Company such further covenants, restrictions or conditions
as its Board of Directors and the Trustee shall consider to be for the protection of the Holders of
all or any series of Subordinated Securities or Coupons (and if such covenants, restrictions or
conditions are to be for the benefit of less than all series of Subordinated Securities, stating
that such covenants, restrictions or conditions are expressly being included solely for the benefit
of such series), and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance, of a default in any
such additional covenants, restrictions or conditions an Event of Default permitting the
enforcement of all or any of the several remedies provided in this Subordinated Indenture as herein
set forth; provided, however, that in respect to any such additional covenant, restriction or
condition such Supplemental Subordinated Indenture may provide for a particular period of grace
after default (which period may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of other
defaults) or may provide for an immediate enforcement upon such default or may limit the remedies
available to the Trustee upon such default;

     (d) to add or change any of the provisions of this Subordinated Indenture to such extent as
shall be necessary to facilitate the issuance of Subordinated Securities in (i) global form or (ii)
bearer form, registerable or not registerable as to principal or principal and interest, and with
or without coupons;

     (e) to change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Subordinated Indenture; provided,
however, that any such change or elimination shall become effective only when there is no
Subordinated Security of any series Outstanding created prior to the execution of such Supplemental
Subordinated Indenture which is entitled to the benefit of such provision;

     (f) to establish the form or terms of Subordinated Securities of any series or the Coupons
appertaining to such Subordinated Securities as permitted by Sections 2.01 and 2.03;

67

 

     (g) to appoint, at the request of the Trustee, a successor Trustee for a particular series of
Subordinated Securities to act as such pursuant to the provisions of this Subordinated Indenture
and to add to or change the provisions of this Subordinated Indenture to such extent as shall be
necessary to facilitate the performance of the duties of such trustee; and

     (h) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provisions contained herein or in
any Supplemental Subordinated Indenture which may be defective or inconsistent with any other
provision contained herein or in any Supplemental Subordinated Indenture, or to make such other
provisions in regard to matters or questions arising under this Subordinated Indenture or any
Supplemental Subordinated Indenture which shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders
of the Subordinated Securities or Coupons.

     SECTION 10.02. Modification of Subordinated Indenture With Consent of Holders of
Subordinated Securities. With the consent (evidenced as provided in Section 8.01) of the
Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Subordinated Securities of all
series at the time Outstanding (determined as provided in Section 8.04) affected by such
Supplemental Subordinated Indenture (voting as one class), the Company and the Trustee may from
time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall
comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect) for the purpose of adding
any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this
Subordinated Indenture or of any Supplemental Subordinated Indenture or of modifying in any manner
the rights of the Holders of the Subordinated Securities of each such series or the Coupons
appertaining to such Subordinated Securities; provided, however, that no such Supplemental
Subordinated Indenture shall, without the consent of the Holders of each Outstanding Subordinated
Security affect thereby:

     (a) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or
interest on, any Subordinated Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of
interest thereon or any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or reduce the amount of the
principal of an Original Issue Discount Subordinated Security or any other Subordinated Security
which would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the Stated Maturity thereof
pursuant to Section 6.01, or change any place of payment where, or the coin or currency in which,
any Subordinated Security or any premium or interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or,
in the case of redemption, on or after the date fixed for redemption), or modify the provisions of
this Subordinated Indenture with respect to this subordination of the Subordinated Securities in a
manner adverse to the Holders, or

     (b) Reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Subordinated Securities the
consent of the Holders of which is required for any such Supplemental Subordinated Indenture, or
the consent of the Holders of which is required for any waiver (of compliance with certain
provisions of this Subordinated Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and their consequences)
provided for in this Subordinated Indenture or

     (c) Change the time of payment or reduce the amount of any minimum sinking account or fund
payment or

68

 

     (d) Modify any of the provisions of this Section 10.02, except to increase any such percentage
or to provide that certain other provisions of this Subordinated Indenture cannot be modified or
waived without the consent of the Holder of each Subordinated Security affected thereby.

     A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this
Subordinated Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more
particular series of Subordinated Securities, or which modifies the rights of Holders of
Subordinated Securities of such series, or of Coupons appertaining to such Subordinated Securities,
with respect to such covenant or provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this
Subordinated Indenture of the Holders of Subordinated Securities of any other series or of the
Coupons appertaining to such Subordinated Securities.

     Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by a copy of a resolution of the Board of
Directors (which resolution may provide general terms or parameters for such action and may provide
that the specific terms of such action may be determined in accordance with or pursuant to a
Company Order) certified by the secretary or an assistant secretary of the Company authorizing the
execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of
the consent of the Holders of the Subordinated Securities as aforesaid and other documents, if any,
required by Section 8.01, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such
supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties
or immunities under this Subordinated Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its
discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such supplemental indenture.

     It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Securityholders under this Section to approve
the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such
consent shall approve the substance thereof.

     Promptly after the execution by the Company and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture
pursuant to the provisions to this Section, the Trustee shall give notice thereof (i) to the
Holders of then Outstanding Registered Subordinated Securities of each series affected thereby, by
mailing a notice thereof by first—class mail to such Holders at their addresses as they shall
appear on the Security Register, (ii) if any Unregistered Subordinated Securities of a series
affected thereby are then Outstanding, to the Holders thereof who have filed their names and
addresses with the Trustee pursuant to Section 313(c)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act, by mailing a
notice thereof by first—class mail to such Holders at such addresses as were so furnished to the
Trustee and (iii) if any Unregistered Subordinated Securities of a series affected thereby are then
Outstanding, to all Holders thereof, by publication of a notice thereof at least once in an
Authorized Newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and at least once in an
Authorized Newspaper in London (and, if required by Section 4.09, at least once in an Authorized
Newspaper in Luxembourg), and in each case such notice shall set forth in general terms the
substance of such supplemental indenture. Any failure of the Company to give such notice, or any
defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such
supplemental indenture.

     SECTION 10.03. Effect of Supplemental Subordinated Indentures. Upon the execution of
any Supplemental Subordinated Indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article Ten, this

69

 

Subordinated Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith
and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this
Subordinated Indenture of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of Subordinated Securities shall
thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such
modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such Supplemental
Subordinated Indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this
Subordinated Indenture for any and all purposes.

     The Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and subject to the provisions of Section 7.01 shall
be entitled to rely upon, an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any such Supplemental
Subordinated Indenture complies with the provisions of this Article Ten and that the Subordinated
Securities affected by the Supplemental Subordinated Indenture, when such Subordinated Securities
are authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and executed and issued by the Company in the manner
and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will be valid and binding
obligations of the Company, except as any rights thereunder may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by
general equity principles.

     SECTION 10.04. Subordinated Securities May Bear Notation of Changes by Supplemental
Subordinated Indentures. Subordinated Securities authenticated and delivered after the
execution of any Supplemental Subordinated Indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article
Ten, or after any action taken at a Subordinated Securityholders’ meeting pursuant to Article Nine,
may bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such
Supplemental Subordinated Indenture or as to any action taken at any such meeting. If the Company
or the Trustee shall so determine, new Subordinated Securities so modified as to conform, in the
opinion of the Trustee and the Company, to any modification of this Subordinated Indenture
contained in any such Supplemental Subordinated Indenture may be prepared by the Company,
authenticated by the Trustee and delivered in exchange for the Subordinated Securities then
Outstanding.

respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in such Section, whether directly or
indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to such Section or by reason of any
reference in such Section to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission

Securities of such series and Coupons appertaining thereof and (b) any mandatory sinking
fund payments on the day on which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the
terms of the Subordinated Indenture and the Subordinated Securities of such series;

subject to United States Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at
the same times as would have been the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred; and

     (g) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for relating to the
covenant defeasance contemplated by this provision have been complied with.

Securities. Subject to Section 11.04, all moneys deposited with the Trustee (for other
trustee) pursuant to Section 11.01 shall be held in trust and applied by it to the payment, either
directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent), to the
Holders of the particular Subordinated Securities of such series and of Coupons appertaining
thereto for the payment or redemption of which such moneys have been
deposited

74

 

with the Trustee, of all sums due and to become due thereon for principal and
interest; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by
law.

     SECTION 11.03. Repayment of Moneys Held by Paying Agent. In connection with the
satisfaction and discharge of this Subordinated Indenture with respect to Subordinated Securities
of any series, all moneys then held by any Paying Agent under the provisions of this Subordinated

be repaid to it or paid to the Trustee and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from all
further liability with respect to such moneys.

     SECTION 11.04. Return of Moneys Held by Trustee and Paying Agent Unclaimed for Two
Years. Any moneys deposited with or paid to the Trustee or any Paying Agent for the payment of
the principal of and any premium and interest on any Subordinated Security and any series of
Coupons attached thereto and not so applied but remaining unclaimed under applicable law shall be
transferred by the Trustee to the appropriate Persons in accordance with applicable laws, and the
Holder of such Subordinated Security of such series and of any Coupons appertaining thereto shall
thereafter look only to such Persons for any payment which such Holder may be entitled to collect
and all liability of the Trustee and such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon
cease.

     SECTION 11.05. Indemnity for U.S. Government of Obligations. The Company shall pay
and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the

percentage in aggregate principal amount of Subordinated Securities of all series or all series
affected by a particular action at the time Outstanding and, at such time, there are Outstanding

liability on its part, such quotation of the Federal

78

 

Reserve Bank of New York or, in the case of ECUs, the rate of exchange as published in the
Journal, as of the most recent available date, or quotations or, in the case of ECUs, rates of
exchange from one or more major banks in The City of New York or in the country of issue of the

Subordinated Indenture.

     All decisions and determinations of the Trustee regarding the Market Exchange Rate or any

and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive to the extent permitted by law for all
purposes and irrevocably binding upon the Company and all Holders.

     SECTION 13.09. Judgment Currency. The Company agrees, to the fullest extent that it
may effectively do so under applicable law, that (a) if for the purpose of obtaining judgment in
any court it is necessary to convert the sum due in respect of the principal of or interest on the
Subordinated Securities of any series (the “Required Currency”), into a currency in which a
judgment will be rendered (the “Judgment Currency”), the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at
which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of New
York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the day on which final unappealable
judgment is entered, unless such day is not a New York Banking Day, then, to the extent permitted
by applicable law, the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal
banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the Required Currency with
the Judgment Currency on the New York Banking Day preceding the day on which final unappealable
judgment is entered and (b) its obligations under this Subordinated Indenture to make payments in
the Required Currency (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery
pursuant to any judgment (whether or not entered in accordance with subsection (a)), in any
currency other than the Required Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall
result in the actual receipt, by the payee, of the full amount of the Required Currency expressed
to be payable in respect of such payments, (ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or
additional cause of action for the purpose of recovering in the Required Currency the amount, if
any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the Required Currency so
expressed to be payable and (iii) shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other
sum due under this Subordinated Indenture. For purposes of the foregoing, “New York Banking Day”
means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday in The City of New York or a day on
which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or required by law or executive
order to close.

construed to give any Person, firm or Company, other than the parties hereto and the Holders of the
Subordinated Securities, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this
Subordinated Indenture, or under any covenant, condition and provision herein contained; all its
covenants, conditions and provisions being for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and of the

thereon in respect of principal, premium (if any), interest, or provision shall be made for such

entitled to receive any payment on account of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest
payable in respect of the indebtedness evidenced by the Subordinated Securities;

80

 

     (2) any payment by, or distribution of assets of, the Company of any kind of character,
whether in cash, property or securities (other than securities of the Company as reorganized or

in this Article with respect to the securities, to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness, provided
that the rights of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness are not altered by such reorganization or
readjustment), to which the Holders of any of the Subordinated Securities would be entitled except
for the provisions of this Article shall be paid or delivered by the person making such payment or
distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receive or liquidating trustee or otherwise,
directly to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives or
to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instrument evidencing any of such
Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining
unpaid on account of such Senior Indebtedness held or represented by each, to the extent necessary
to make payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid after giving effect to any
concurrent payment or distribution (or provision therefore) to the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness, before any payment or distribution is made to the Holders of the indebtedness
evidenced by the Subordinated Securities under this Subordinated Indenture; and

     (3) in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment by, or distribution of
assets of, the Company of any kind of character, whether in cash, property or securities (other
than securities of the Company as reorganized or readjusted or securities of the Company or any
other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustments the payment of which is
subordinate, at least to the extent provided in this Article with respect to the Subordinated
Securities, to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness, provided that the rights of the holders of
Senior Indebtedness are not altered by such reorganization or readjustment), shall be received by
the Holders of any of the Subordinated Securities before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full,
such payment or distribution shall be paid over to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness or their
representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any
instruments evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, ratably as aforesaid,
for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid until all such Senior
Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or
distribution (or provision therefor) to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.

distributions of cash, property or Subordinated Securities of the Company applicable to such Senior
Indebtedness until all amounts owing on the Subordinated Securities shall be paid in full, and, as
between the Company, its creditors other than holders of such Senior Indebtedness, and the Holders
of the Subordinated Securities, no such payment or distribution made to the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness by virtue of this Article which otherwise would have been made to the Holders of the
Subordinated Securities shall be deemed to be a payment by the Company on account of such Senior
Indebtedness, it being understood that the provisions of this Article are
and are intended

81

 

solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the
Subordinated Securities, on the one hand, and the holders of Senior Indebtedness.

     SECTION 14.03. Obligation of the Company Unconditional. Nothing contained in this
Article or elsewhere in this Subordinated Indenture or in the Subordinated Securities is intended

is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the Subordinated Securities the principal
of (and premium, if any) and interest payable in the respect of the Subordinated Securities as and
when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or
shall affect the relative rights of the Holders of the Subordinated Securities and creditors of the
Company other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness nor shall anything herein or therein prevent
the Trustee or the Holder of any Security from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by
applicable law upon default under this Subordinated Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under
this Article of the holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or Subordinated
Securities of the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

Trustee and the Holders of the Subordinated Securities shall be entitled to rely upon any order or
decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which any such dissolution, winding up,
liquidation or reorganization proceeding affecting the affairs of the Company is pending or upon a
certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors,
liquidating trustee or agent or other person making any payment or distribution, delivered to the
Trustee or to the Holders of the Subordinated Securities, for the purpose of ascertaining the
persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of the Senior
Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the
amount paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article.

     SECTION 14.04. Payments on Subordinated Securities Permitted. Nothing contained in
this Article or elsewhere in this Subordinated Indenture, or in any of the Subordinated Securities,
shall affect the obligation of the Company to make, or prevent the Company from making, payment of
the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest payable in respect of the Subordinated Securities
in accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof, except as otherwise provided in this Article.

     SECTION 14.05. Effectuation of Subordinated by Trustee. Each holder of the
Subordinated Securities, by his acceptance thereof, authorizes and directs the Trustee in his
behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination
provided in this Article and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such
purposes.

     SECTION 14.06. Knowledge of Trustee. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article
or any other provisions of this Subordinated Indenture, the Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any
fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness and shall not be charged with knowledge of the
existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment or moneys to or by the
Trustee, or the taking of any other action by the Trustee, unless and until the Trustee shall have
received written notice thereof from the Company, any Holder of

82

 

Subordinated Securities, any paying or conversion agent of the Company or the holder or
representative of any class of Senior Indebtedness; provided, however, that if the Trustee shall
not have received the notice provided for in this Section at least three Business Days prior to the
date upon which, by the terms hereof, any money may become payable for any purpose (including,
without limitation, the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any
Subordinated Security) then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee
shall have all power and authority to receive such money and to apply the same to the purpose for
which such money was received and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be
received by it during or after such three Business Day period.

     SECTION 14.07. Trustee May Hold Senior Indebtedness. The trustee in its individual
capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article with respect to any Senior
Indebtedness at the time held by it, to the same extent ads any other holder of Senior
Indebtedness, and nothing in Section 313 of the Trust Indenture Act or elsewhere in this
Subordinated Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.

     Nothing in this Article shall subordinate any claims of, or payments to, the Trustee (under or
pursuant to Section 7.06) to Senior Indebtedness.

     SECTION 14.08. Rights of Holders of Senior Indebtedness Not Impaired. No right of
any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce the subordination herein shall
at any time or in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the
Company or by any non-compliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this
Subordinated Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof any such holder may have or be
otherwise charged with.
