WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 11 of the Agreement, Twin Haven and the Company desire to amend the Agreement as provided herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, Twin Haven and the Company hereby agree as follows:

 

1.             Amendments.

 

(a)           Section 3(c) of the Agreement is hereby amended to add the following at the end of such paragraph:

 

“Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 9, 2017, by and among the Company, Cincinnati Bell Inc. and Twin Acquisition Corp. and that certain Voting Agreement, dated as of July 9, 2017, between Twin Haven and Cincinnati Bell Inc. (the “Voting Agreement”), (A) the obligations of this Section 3(c) shall apply only with respect to the lesser of (x) all of the Voting Securities owned by Twin Haven and the TH Affiliates, directly or indirectly, whether owned of record or Beneficially Owned, or (y) such portion of such Voting Securities equal to not more than 25% of the aggregate Voting Securities then issued and outstanding, (B) to the extent this Section 3(c) would require Twin Haven and the TH Affiliates to vote any Voting Securities in a manner that would violate the terms of the Voting Agreement, then Twin Haven and the TH Affiliates shall not be required by this Section 3(c) to vote such Voting Securities in such manner and (C) the entry into the Voting Agreement by Twin Haven and the TH Affiliates and compliance by such parties with the terms and conditions thereof shall not be deemed in any way to violate the terms and/or conditions of this Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a conflict between the terms of the Voting Agreement and this Agreement, compliance with the terms of the Voting Agreement shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement.”

 

(b)           Section 17 of the Agreement is hereby amended to add the following at the end of such paragraph:

 

“The Company agrees to reimburse Twin Haven up to a maximum of $50,000 of its reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including reasonable legal

2.             Miscellaneous. Except as specifically provided for in this Amendment, all of the terms of the Agreement shall remain unchanged and are hereby confirmed and remain in full force and effect.  All references to the Agreement in any other agreement or document shall be deemed to mean the Agreement as amended by this Amendment.

WITNESSETH 
 Whereas, the
Depositor and certain of the Issuer Trustees have heretofore duly declared and established a statutory trust pursuant to the Delaware Statutory Trust Act by entering into that certain Trust Agreement, dated as of May 3, 2017 (the “Original

shall, at the sole cost and expense of the Issuer Trust, defend all claims and demands of all Persons at any time claiming any Lien on any of the Trust Property adverse to the interest of the Issuer Trust or the Holders in their capacity as Holders.

 (c)    In connection with the issue and sale of the Capital Securities, the Depositor shall have the right and
responsibility to assist the Issuer Trust with respect to, or effect on behalf of the Issuer Trust, the following (and any actions taken by the Depositor in furtherance of the following prior to the date of this Trust Agreement are hereby ratified
and confirmed in all respects): 
 (i)    the preparation and filing by the Issuer Trust with the Commission and the
execution on behalf of the Issuer Trust of a registration statement on the appropriate form in relation to the Capital Securities, including any amendments thereto, and the taking of any action necessary or desirable to sell the Capital Securities
in a transaction or a series of transactions pursuant thereto; 

  
 14 

 (ii)    the determination of the States in which to take appropriate action
to qualify or register for sale all or part of the Capital Securities and the determination of any and all such acts, other than actions which must be taken by or on behalf of the Issuer Trust, and the advice to the Issuer Trust of actions they must
take on behalf of the Issuer Trust, and the preparation for execution and filing of any documents to be executed and filed by the Issuer Trust or on behalf of the Issuer Trust, as the Depositor deems necessary or advisable in order to comply with
the applicable laws of any such States in connection with the sale of the Capital Securities;

 (iv)    the preparation for filing by the Issuer Trust with the

including any amendments thereto; 
 (v)    the preparation and execution of a Letter of Representations to The

 (vii)    the
taking of any other actions necessary or desirable to carry out any of the foregoing activities. 

(d)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Trustees are authorized and directed to conduct
the affairs of the Issuer Trust and to operate the Issuer Trust so that the Issuer Trust will not be deemed to be an “investment company” required to be registered under the 1940 Act, or to be classified as an association taxable as a
corporation or as other than a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes and so that the Subordinated Debentures will be treated as indebtedness of the Depositor for United States Federal income tax purposes. In this connection,
the Administrative Trustees are authorized to take any action, not inconsistent with applicable law, the Certificate of Trust or this Trust Agreement, that each Administrative Trustee determines in its discretion to be necessary or desirable for
such purposes, as long as such action does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Holders of the Capital Securities. In no event shall the Administrative Trustees be liable to the Issuer Trust or the Holders for any
failure to comply with this section that results from a change in law or regulation or interpretation thereof.

 Section 2.9. Title to Trust Property.

 ARTICLE IV. 

DISTRIBUTIONS; REDEMPTION 

Section 4.1. Distributions. 

(a)    The Trust Securities represent undivided beneficial interests in the Trust Property, and Distributions (including
Additional Amounts and Other Amounts) will be made on the Trust Securities at the rate and on the dates that payments of interest (including any Additional Interest and Other Interest) are made on the Subordinated Debentures. Accordingly: 

(i)    Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be cumulative, and will accumulate whether or not there are funds of
the Issuer Trust available for the payment of Distributions. Distributions shall accrue from [            ], and, except in the event (and to the extent) that the Depositor exercises its
right to defer the payment of interest on the Subordinated Debentures pursuant to the Indenture, shall be payable [insert period] in arrears on [            ] of each year, commencing on
[            ]. If any date on which a Distribution is otherwise payable on the Trust Securities is not a Business Day, then the payment of such Distribution shall be made on the next
succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) except that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, payment of such Distribution shall be made on the immediately
preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on the date such payment was originally payable (each date on which Distributions are payable in accordance with this Section 4.1(a), a

  
 16 

 
“Distribution Date”). Each Distribution Date shall be the same as the corresponding Interest Payment Date for the Subordinated Debentures, and the number of days during each
accumulation period for Distributions shall be the same as the number of days during the corresponding interest accrual period for the Subordinated Debentures (and the record date for such amounts shall be the same as for the corresponding
Distribution). Additional Amounts do not include and are not part of Other Amounts and shall be payable on the Trust Securities only to the extent that payment thereof would be legally enforceable and would not duplicate payment of any other amount
that may accumulate on the Trust Securities and only to the extent that the Issuer Trust has funds on hand and available in the Payment Account. 

(ii)    Distributions shall accumulate in respect of the Capital Securities at a rate of [    ] % per
annum of the Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities. The amount of Distributions payable for any period less than a full Distribution period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and the actual number of days elapsed in a partial month in a period. The amount of Distributions payable for any period shall include any Additional Amounts in respect of such period. 

(iii)    Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be made by the Property Trustee from the Payment Account and shall
be payable on each Distribution Date only to the extent that the Issuer Trust has funds then on hand and available in the Payment Account for the payment of such Distributions. 

(iv)    Each Holder of Trust Securities shall also be entitled to receive payment of any Other Interest [(as defined in
the Indenture)] that is due and payable pursuant to the Indenture with respect to a principal amount of Subordinated Debentures equal to the Liquidation Amount of such Trust Securities, on the day such Other Interest is paid with respect to the
Subordinated Debentures or, if such day is not a Distribution Date or Redemption Date, no later than the next succeeding Distribution Date or Redemption Date (and without any interest or with payment in respect of such delay) (“Other
Amounts”). Other Amounts do not include and are not part of Additional Amounts and shall be payable on the Trust Securities only to the extent legally permitted, only to the extent that payment thereof would be legally enforceable and would not
duplicate payment of any other amount that may accumulate on the Trust Securities and only to the extent the Issuer Trust has funds on hand and available in the Payment Account. Payment of Other Amounts shall be made as provided in Section 4.4
or in any other reasonable manner determined by the Property Trustee. No interest or other amount shall accrue or be payable on any Distribution, except for Additional Amounts and Other Amounts as provided herein. 

(b)    Distributions on the Trust Securities with respect to a Distribution Date shall be payable to the Holders thereof
as they appear on the Securities Register for the Trust Securities at the close of business (or 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on any day that is not a Business Day) on the relevant record date, which shall be the Business Day next preceding the
relevant Distribution Date at any time when the Capital Securities are represented by a Global Capital Securities Certificate(s) (and at any other time, the [    ], [    ], [    ], or
[    ] next preceding the relevant Distribution Date). 

  
 17 

 Section 4.2. Redemption. 

(a)    On each Debenture Redemption Date and on the stated maturity of the Subordinated Debentures, the Issuer Trust will
be required to redeem a Like Amount of Trust Securities at the Redemption Price. 
 (b)    Notice of redemption shall be
given by the Property Trustee by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Trust Securities to be redeemed, at such Holder’s address appearing in the Security
Register. All notices of redemption shall state: 
 (i)    the Redemption Date; 

(ii)    the Redemption Price or, if the Redemption Price cannot be calculated prior to the time the notice is required to
be sent, the estimate of the Redemption Price provided pursuant to the Indenture together with a statement that it is an estimate and that the actual Redemption Price will be calculated on the third Business Day prior to the Redemption Date (and if
an estimate is provided, a further notice shall be sent of the actual Redemption Price on the date that notice of such actual Redemption Price is received pursuant to the Indenture); 

(iii)    the CUSIP number or CUSIP numbers of the Capital Securities affected; 

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

(vi)    the place or places where the Trust Securities are to be surrendered for the payment of the Redemption Price.

 The Issuer Trust in issuing the Trust Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Property
Trustee shall indicate the “CUSIP” numbers of the Trust Securities in notices of redemption and related materials as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of
such numbers either as printed on the Trust Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption and related materials. 

(c)    The Trust Securities redeemed on each Redemption Date shall be redeemed at the Redemption Price with the proceeds
from the contemporaneous redemption of Subordinated Debentures. Redemptions of the Trust Securities shall be made and the Redemption Price shall be payable on each Redemption Date only to the extent that the Issuer Trust has funds then on hand and
available in the Payment Account for the payment of such Redemption Price. 

  
 18 

 (d)     If the Property Trustee gives a notice of redemption in respect of
any Capital Securities, then, by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Redemption Date, subject to Section 4.2(c), the Property Trustee will, with respect to Book-Entry Capital Securities, irrevocably deposit with the Clearing Agency for such
Book-Entry Capital Securities, to the extent available therefor, funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price and will give such Clearing Agency irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Redemption Price to the Owners thereof.
With respect to Capital Securities that are not Book-Entry Capital Securities, the Property Trustee, subject to Section 4.2(c), will irrevocably deposit with the Paying Agent, to the extent available therefor, funds sufficient to pay the
applicable Redemption Price and will give the Paying Agent irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Redemption Price to the Holders thereof upon surrender of their Capital Securities Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Distributions payable on or prior to the Redemption Date for any Trust Securities called for redemption shall be payable to the Holders of such Trust Securities as they appear on the Securities Register for the Trust Securities on the relevant
record dates for the related Distribution Dates. If notice of redemption shall have been given and funds deposited as required, then upon the date of such deposit, all rights of Holders of Trust Securities so called for redemption will cease, except
the right of such Holders to receive the Redemption Price including any unpaid Distribution payable on or prior to the Redemption Date, but without interest, and such Trust Securities will cease to be Outstanding. In the event that any date on which
any Redemption Price is payable is not a Business Day, then payment of the Redemption Price payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay),
except that, if such Business Day falls in the next calendar year, such payment will be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case, with the same force and effect as if made on such date. In the event that payment of the Redemption
Price in respect of any Trust Securities called for redemption is improperly withheld or refused and not paid either by the Issuer Trust or by the Depositor pursuant to the Guarantee, Distributions on such Trust Securities will continue to
accumulate as set forth in Section 4.1, from the Redemption Date originally established by the Issuer Trust for such Trust Securities to the date such Redemption Price is actually paid, in which case the actual payment date will be the date
fixed for redemption for purposes of calculating the Redemption Price. 
 (e)    Subject to Section 4.3(a), if less
than all the Outstanding Trust Securities are to be redeemed on a Redemption Date, then the aggregate Liquidation Amount of Trust Securities to be redeemed shall be allocated approximately 3% to the Common Securities and 97% to the Capital
Securities. The particular Capital Securities to be redeemed shall be selected on a pro rata basis (based upon Liquidation Amounts) not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Property Trustee from the Outstanding Capital Securities
not previously called for redemption, provided that, so long as the Capital Securities are in book-entry-only form, such selection shall be made in accordance with the customary procedures for the Clearing Agency for the Capital Securities. The
Property Trustee shall promptly notify the Securities Registrar in writing of the Capital Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Capital Securities selected for partial redemption, the Liquidation Amount thereof to be redeemed.
For all purposes of this Trust Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Capital Securities shall relate, in the case of any Capital Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the
portion of the Liquidation Amount of Capital Securities that has been or is to be redeemed. 

  
 19 

 Section 4.3. Subordination of Common Securities. 

(a)    Payment of Distributions (including any Additional Amounts) on, and the Redemption Price of, the Trust Securities,
as applicable, shall be made, subject to Section 4.2(e), pro rata (based on Liquidation Amounts) among the Common Securities and the Capital Securities; provided, however, that if on any Distribution Date or Redemption Date any Event of Default
resulting from a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no payment of any Distribution (including any Additional Amounts and Other Amounts) on, or Redemption Price of, any Common Security, and no other payment on account
of the redemption, liquidation or other acquisition of Common Securities, shall be made unless payment in full in cash of all accumulated and unpaid Distributions (including any Additional Amounts and Other Amounts) on all Outstanding Capital
Securities for all Distribution periods terminating on or prior thereto, or in the case of payment of the Redemption Price the full amount of such Redemption Price on all Outstanding Capital Securities, shall have been made or provided for, and all
funds immediately available to the Property Trustee shall first be applied to the payment in full in cash of all Distributions (including any Additional Amounts and Other Amounts) on, or the Redemption Price of, Capital Securities then due and
payable. 
 (b)    In the case of the occurrence of any Event of Default resulting from any Debenture Event of Default,
the Holder of Common Securities will be deemed to have waived any right to act with respect to any such Event of Default under this Trust Agreement until the effect of all such Events of Default with respect to the Capital Securities have been
cured, waived or otherwise eliminated. Until any such Event of Default under this Trust Agreement with respect to the Capital Securities has been so cured, waived or otherwise eliminated, the Property Trustee shall act solely on behalf of the
Holders of the Capital Securities and not on behalf of the Holder of the Common Securities, and only the Holders of the Capital Securities will have the right to direct the Property Trustee to act on their behalf. 

Section 4.4. Payment Procedures. 

Payments of Distributions (including Additional Amounts, if applicable) in respect of the Capital Securities shall be made by check mailed to
the address of the Holder entitled thereto as such address shall appear on the Securities Register or, if the Capital Securities are held by a Clearing Agency, such Distributions shall be made to the Clearing Agency in immediately available funds,
which shall credit the relevant Holders’ accounts at such Clearing Agency on the applicable Distribution Dates. Payments in respect of the Common Securities shall be made in such manner as shall be mutually agreed between the Property Trustee
and the Holder of the Common Securities. 
 Section 4.5. Tax Returns and Reports. 

The Property Trustee shall prepare (or cause to be prepared), at the Depositor’s expense, and file all United States Federal, state and
local tax and information returns and reports required to be filed by or in respect of the Issuer Trust. In this regard, the Property Trustees shall (a) 

  
 20 

 
prepare and file (or cause to be prepared and filed) the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Form required to be filed in respect of the Issuer Trust in each taxable year of the Issuer Trust and
(b) prepare and furnish (or cause to be prepared and furnished) to each Holder the appropriate Internal Revenue Service form required to be provided by the Issuer Trust. The Property Trustee shall provide the Depositor with a copy of all such
returns and reports promptly after such filing or furnishing. The Property Trustee shall comply with United States Federal withholding and backup withholding tax laws and information reporting requirements with respect to any payments to Holders
under the Trust Securities. 
 Section 4.6. Payment of Taxes, Duties, Etc. of the Issuer Trust. 

Upon receipt under the Subordinated Debentures of Additional Sums, the Property Trustee shall promptly pay any taxes, duties or governmental
charges of whatsoever nature (other than withholding taxes) imposed on the Issuer Trust by the United States or any other taxing authority. 

Section 4.7. Payments under Indenture or Pursuant to Direct Actions. 

Any amount payable hereunder to any Holder of Capital Securities shall be reduced by the amount of any corresponding payment such Holder (or an
Owner with respect to the Holder’s Capital Securities) has directly received pursuant to [Section [    ] of the Indenture or] Section 5.13 of this Trust Agreement. 

Section 4.8. Liability of the Holder of Common Securities. 

Any Holder of the Common Securities shall be liable for the debts and obligations of the Issuer Trust in the manner and to the extent set forth
in the Expense Agreement and agrees that it shall be subject to all liabilities to which the Holder of the Common Securities may be subject, and shall make all payments that the Holder of the Common Securities is required to make, under the terms of
the Expense Agreement. 
 Section 4.9. Exchanges. 

(a)    If at any time the Depositor or any of its Affiliates (in either case, a “Depositor Affiliated
Owner/Holder”) is the Owner or Holder of any Capital Securities, such Depositor Affiliated Owner/Holder shall have the right to deliver to the Property Trustee all or such portion of its Capital Securities as it elects and receive, in exchange
therefor, a Like Amount of Subordinated Debentures. Such election (i) shall be exercisable effective on any Distribution Date by such Depositor Affiliated Owner/Holder delivering to the Property Trustee a written notice of such election
specifying the Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities with respect to which such election is being made and the Distribution Date on which such exchange shall occur, which Distribution Date shall be not less than ten Business Days after the
date of receipt by the Property Trustee of such election notice and (ii) shall be conditioned upon such Depositor Affiliated Owner/Holder having delivered or caused to be delivered to the Property Trustee or its designee the Capital Securities
which are the subject of such election by 10:00 A.M. New York time, on the Distribution Date on which such exchange is to occur. After the exchange, such Capital Securities will be cancelled and will no longer be deemed to be Outstanding and all
rights of the Depositor or its Affiliate(s) with respect to such Capital Securities will cease. 

  
 21 

 (b)    In the case of an exchange described in Section 4.9(a), the
Issuer Trust will, on the date of such exchange, exchange Subordinated Debentures having a principal amount equal to a proportional amount of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Outstanding Common Securities, based on the ratio of the aggregate
Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities exchanged pursuant to Section 4.9(a) divided by the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities Outstanding immediately prior to such exchange, for such proportional amount of Common
Securities held by the Depositor (which contemporaneously shall be cancelled and no longer be deemed to be Outstanding); provided that the Depositor delivers or causes to be delivered to the Property Trustee or its designee the required amount of
Common Securities to be exchanged by 10:00 A.M. New York time, on the Distribution Date on which such exchange is to occur. 
 ARTICLE V.

(a)    The Capital Securities Certificates and the Common Securities Certificates shall be issued in denominations of
$[        ] Liquidation Amount and integral multiples thereof. The Trust Securities Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer Trust by manual or facsimile signature of at least one Administrative
Trustee. Trust Securities Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Issuer Trust, shall be validly issued and
entitled to the benefits of this Trust Agreement, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so authorized prior to the delivery of such Trust Securities Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of
delivery of such Trust Securities Certificates. A transferee of a Trust Securities Certificate shall become a Holder, and shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Holder hereunder, upon due registration of such Trust
Securities Certificate in such transferee’s name pursuant to Section 5.5. 
 (b)    Upon their original
issuance, Capital Securities Certificates shall be issued in the form of one or more Global Capital Securities Certificates registered in the name of DTC, as Clearing Agency, or its nominee and deposited with DTC or a custodian for DTC for credit by
DTC to the respective accounts of the Owners thereof (or such other accounts as they may direct). All Capital Securities Certificates shall be issued substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, with such changes, insertions, notations and legends
(if other than as contemplated by Exhibit C) as may be deemed appropriate by the Depositor and the Administrative Trustees.

president, any executive vice president or any vice president, treasurer or assistant treasurer or controller without further corporate action by the Depositor, in authorized denominations. 

Section 5.4. Book-Entry Capital Securities. 

As provided in Section 5.2(b), Capital Securities, upon original issuance, will be issued in the form of Global Capital Securities
Certificates representing Book-Entry Capital Securities, to be delivered to DTC or its nominee by, or on behalf of, the Issuer Trust. Such Global Capital Securities Certificates shall initially be registered on the Securities Register in the name of
Cede & Co., the nominee of DTC, and no Owner will receive a Definitive Capital Securities Certificate representing such Owner’s interest in such Capital Securities, except as provided in this Section 5.4. 

(a)    Each Global Capital Securities Certificate issued under this Trust Agreement shall be registered in the name of the
Clearing Agency or a nominee thereof designated by the Depositor for the related Book-Entry Capital Securities and delivered to such Clearing Agency or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor and each such Global Capital Securities Certificate shall
constitute a single Capital Securities Certificate for all purposes of this Trust Agreement. 
 (b)    Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Trust Agreement, no Global Capital Securities Certificate may be exchanged in whole or in part for Capital Securities Certificates registered, and no transfer of a Global Capital Securities Certificate in whole or in part
may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Clearing Agency for such Global Capital Securities Certificate or a nominee thereof unless (i) the Clearing Agency advises the Depositor and the Property Trustee in writing that the
Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Global Capital Securities Certificates or has ceased to be a Clearing Agency, (ii) the Depositor at its option advises the Clearing Agency in

Depositor may, in its sole discretion within 60 days, designate a successor Clearing Agency to maintain a book-entry system for Capital Securities 

  
 23 

 
represented by a Global Capital Securities Certificate(s), whereupon the certificate(s) representing all Outstanding Book-Entry Capital Securities shall be promptly exchanged for a new Global
Capital Securities Certificate(s) representing all such Capital Securities and registered in the name of the successor Clearing Agency or its nominees. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in clause (iii) above, or in clause (i) or
(ii) above if the Depositor does not designate a successor Clearing Agency as provided above, all the Global Capital Securities Certificate(s) representing all Book-Entry Capital Securities shall, promptly upon surrender to the Property Trustee or
its agent as provided in this Article Five, be exchanged for Definitive Capital Securities Certificate(s) registered in such names and having such denominations as the Clearing Agency, or its nominee, shall designate as provided in this Article
Five. 
 (c)    If any Global Capital Securities Certificate is to be exchanged for other Capital Securities
Certificates or cancelled in part, or if another Capital Securities Certificate is to be exchanged in whole or in part for a beneficial interest in any Global Capital Securities Certificate, then either (i) such Global Capital Securities
Certificate shall be so surrendered for exchange or cancellation as provided in this Article Five or (ii) the aggregate Liquidation Amount represented by such Global Capital Securities Certificate shall be reduced, subject to Section 5.2,
or increased by an amount equal to the Liquidation Amount represented by that portion of the Global Capital Securities Certificate to be so exchanged or cancelled, or equal to the Liquidation Amount represented by such other Capital Securities
Certificates to be so exchanged for Global Capital Securities represented thereby, as the case may be, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Securities Registrar, whereupon the Property Trustee, in accordance with the
Applicable Procedures, shall instruct the Clearing Agency or its authorized representative to make a corresponding adjustment to its records. Upon surrender to the Administrative Trustees or the Securities Registrar of the Global Capital Securities
Certificate or Certificates by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Administrative Trustees, or any one of them, shall execute the Definitive Capital Securities Certificates in accordance with the instructions of the
Clearing Agency. None of the Securities Registrar or the Issuer Trustees shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. 

Upon the issuance of Definitive Capital Securities Certificates, the Issuer Trustees and shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Capital
Securities Certificates as Holders. The Definitive Capital Securities Certificates shall be printed, lithographed or engraved or may be produced in any other manner as is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Trustees, as evidenced by the
execution thereof by the Administrative Trustees or any one of them. 
 (d)    Every Capital Securities Certificate
executed and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Capital Securities Certificate or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Article Five or Article Four or otherwise, shall be executed and
delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Capital Securities Certificate, unless such Capital Securities Certificate is registered in the name of a Person other than the Clearing Agency for such Global Capital Securities Certificate or a
nominee thereof. 
 (e)    The Clearing Agency or its nominee, as registered owner of a Global Capital Securities
Certificate, shall be the Holder of such Global Capital Securities Certificate for all purposes under this Trust Agreement and the Global Capital Securities Certificate, and 

  
 24 

 
Owners with respect to a Global Capital Securities Certificate shall hold any interests they may have therein pursuant to the Applicable Procedures. The Securities Registrar and the Issuer
Trustees shall be entitled to deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes of this Trust Agreement relating to the Book-Entry Capital Securities (including payment of the Liquidation Amount of and Distributions on the Capital Securities evidenced
by Book-Entry Capital Securities and giving notices to Holders, and Holders giving notices or taking any other action, with respect to such Capital Securities) as the sole Holder of Capital Securities evidenced by the Book-Entry Capital Securities
and shall have no obligations to the Owners thereof. Neither the Property Trustee nor the Securities Registrar shall have any liability in respect of any transfers effected by the Clearing Agency. 

The rights of the Owners of the Book-Entry Capital Securities shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to
those established by law, the Applicable Procedures and agreements between such Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants. All payments, transfers, credits and debits effected by the Clearing Agency or any direct or
indirect participant therein, and all actions taken by the Clearing Agency or its nominee as Holder, in respect of Book-Entry Capital Securities shall be the responsibility solely of the Clearing Agency and/or its direct and indirect participants,
as applicable, and none of the Depositor or the Issuer Trustees shall have any responsibility or obligation with respect thereto. 
 Section 5.5.
Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Capital Securities Certificates. 
 (a)    The Property Trustee shall
keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 5.9, a register or registers for the purpose of registering Trust Securities Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Capital Securities Certificates (the
“Securities Register”) in which the registrar designated by the Property Trustee (the “Securities Registrar”) with the reasonable consent of the Administrative Trustees, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe,
shall provide for the registration of Capital Securities Certificates and Common Securities Certificates (subject to Section 5.11 in the case of the Common Securities Certificates) and registration of transfers and exchanges of Capital
Securities Certificates as herein provided. The Bank shall be the initial Securities Registrar. 
 Upon surrender for registration of
transfer of any Capital Securities Certificate at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 5.9, the Administrative Trustees or any one of them shall execute by manual or facsimile signature and deliver to the Property Trustee for
further delivery, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Capital Securities Certificates in authorized denominations of a like aggregate Liquidation Amount dated the date of execution by such Administrative Trustee.

 The Securities Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of any Capital Securities that have been called for redemption.
At the option of a Holder, Capital Securities Certificates may be exchanged for other Capital Securities Certificates in authorized denominations of the same class and of a like aggregate Liquidation Amount upon surrender of the Capital Securities
Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 5.9. 

  
 25 

 Every Capital Securities Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities Registrar duly executed by the Holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Capital Securities Certificate surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled and subsequently disposed of by the Property Trustee or Securities Registrar in accordance with such Person’s customary practice. 

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Capital Securities Certificates, but the Securities Registrar
may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Capital Securities Certificates. 

The provisions of Sections 8.1, 8.3 and 8.6 herein shall apply to the Bank also in its role as Securities Registrar, for so long as the Bank
shall act as Securities Registrar. 
 Whenever this Trust Agreement makes reference to the execution of Trust Securities Certificates, such
reference to execution shall mean manual execution by an Administrative Trustee or, in the alternative, execution by facsimile signature by an Administrative Trustee and authentication by the Property Trustee. 

Capital Securities Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper Administrative
Trustees of the Issuer Trust shall bind the Issuer Trust, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such office prior to the authentication and delivery of such Capital Securities Certificates or did not hold such
offices at the date of such Capital Securities Certificates. 
 Each Capital Securities Certificate that is executed by facsimile and
authenticated by the Property Trustee shall be dated the date of its authentication. 
 (b)    Certain Transfers and
Exchanges. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust Agreement, transfers and exchanges of Capital Securities Certificates and beneficial interests in Book-Entry Capital Securities of the kinds specified in this Section 5.5(b) shall
be made only in accordance with this Section 5.5(b). 

(i)    Non-Global Capital Securities Certificate to Global Capital Securities
Certificate. If the Holder of a Capital Securities Certificate (other than a Global Capital Securities Certificate) wishes at any time to transfer all or any portion of the Capital Securities represented thereby to a Person who wishes to take
delivery thereof in the form of Book-Entry Capital Securities represented by a Global Capital Securities Certificate, such transfer may be effected only in accordance with the provisions of this Clause (b)(i) and subject to the Applicable
Procedures, and only if there are other Book-Entry Capital Securities Outstanding or the Depositor consents to such exchange in advance. Upon receipt by the Securities Registrar of such Capital Securities Certificate as provided in
Section 5.5(a) and instructions satisfactory to the Securities Registrar directing that a specified number of Capital Securities to be represented by the Global Capital Securities Certificate not greater than the number of Capital Securities
represented by such Capital Securities Certificate be credited to a specified Clearing Agency Participant’s account and then the Securities Registrar shall cancel 

  
 26 

 
such Capital Securities Certificate (and issue a new Capital Securities Certificate in respect of any untransferred portion thereof) as provided in Section 5.5(a) and increase the aggregate
Liquidation Amount of the Global Capital Securities Certificate by the Liquidation Amount represented by such Capital Securities so transferred as provided in Section 5.4(c). 

(ii)    Non-Global Capital Securities Certificate to Non-Global Capital Securities Certificate. Capital Securities other than Book-Entry Capital Securities may be transferred, in whole or in part, to a Person who takes delivery in the form of a Capital Securities
Certificate that is not a Global Capital Securities Certificate as provided in Section 5.5(a). 

(iii)    Global Capital Securities Certificate to Non-Global Capital
Securities Certificate. Capital Securities represented by a Global Capital Securities Certificate may be exchanged for a Capital Securities Certificate that is not a Global Capital Securities Certificate as provided in Section 5.4. 

Before registering for transfer or exchange any Capital Securities Certificates issued in certificated fully registered form as provided in
Section 5.2, 5.4 or 5.5 of the Trust Agreement, the Property Trustee as Securities Registrar may require an Opinion of Counsel or other evidence satisfactory to it (which may include a certificate from such purchaser or Holder) that the
purchase and holding of such Capital Securities by such purchaser or Holder will be exempt from Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code by reason of U.S. Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption
(“PTCE”) 96-23, 95-60, 91-38, 90-1 or
84-14 or another applicable exemption with respect to such purchase or holding and, in the case of any purchaser or Holder relying on any exemption other than PTCE
96-23, 95-60, 91-38, 90-1 or 84-14, an Opinion of
Counsel or other evidence satisfactory to the Property Trustee with respect to the availability of such exemption. Any purchaser or Holder of any Capital Securities or any interest therein will be deemed to have represented by its purchase and
holding thereof that it either (i) is not a Plan or a Plan Asset Entity and is not purchasing such Capital Securities on behalf of or with “plan assets” of any Plan, or (ii) the purchase and holding of any such Capital Security
is exempt from Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code by reason of PTCE 96-23, 95-60, 91-38, 90-1 or 84-14 or another applicable exemption with respect to such purchase or holding. 

(c)    The Property Trustee shall not be required to insure or verify compliance with securities laws, including the
Securities Act, Exchange Act and 1940 Act, in connection with transfers and exchanges of Capital Securities Certificates. 
 Section 5.6. Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Trust Securities Certificates. 
 If (a) any mutilated Trust Securities Certificate shall be surrendered
to the Securities Registrar, or if the Securities Registrar shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Trust Securities Certificate and (b) there shall be delivered to the Securities Registrar and the
Administrative Trustees such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice that such Trust Securities Certificate shall have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Administrative
Trustees, or any one of them, on behalf of the Issuer Trust shall execute and make available for delivery, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Trust 

  
 27 

 
Securities Certificate, a new Trust Securities Certificate of like class, tenor and denomination. In connection with the issuance of any new Trust Securities Certificate under this Section, the
Administrative Trustees or the Securities Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. Any duplicate Trust Securities Certificate issued pursuant to
this Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of an undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the Issuer Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Trust Securities Certificate shall be found at any time.

 Section 5.7. Persons Deemed Holders. 

The Issuer Trustees or the Securities Registrar shall treat the Person in whose name any Trust Securities Certificate shall be registered in
the Securities Register as the owner of such Trust Securities Certificate for the purpose of receiving Distributions and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Issuer Trustees nor the Securities Registrar shall be bound by any notice to
the contrary. 
 Section 5.8. Access to List of Holders’ Names and Addresses. 

Each Holder and each Owner shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold the Depositor, the Property Trustee, the Delaware Trustee or the
Administrative Trustees accountable by reason of the disclosure of its name and address, regardless of the source from which such information was derived. 

Section 5.9. Maintenance of Office or Agency. 

The Property Trustee shall designate, with the consent of the Administrative Trustees, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, an
office or offices or agency or agencies where Capital Securities Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer Trustees in respect of the Trust Securities Certificates
may be served. The Corporate Trust Office of the Property Trustee is initially designated the office for such purpose. The Administrative Trustees or the Property Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor and to the Holders of any
change in the location of the Securities Register or any such office or agency. 
 Section 5.10. Appointment of Paying Agent. 

The Paying Agent shall make Distributions to Holders from the Payment Account and shall report the amounts of such Distributions to the
Property Trustee and the Administrative Trustees. Any Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to withdraw funds from the Payment Account for the purpose of making the Distributions referred to above. The Property Trustee may revoke such power
and remove the Paying Agent in its sole discretion. The Paying Agent shall initially be the Bank, and any co-paying agent chosen by the Bank, and reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Trustees. Any
Person acting as Paying Agent shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent upon 30 days’ written notice to the Administrative Trustees and the Property Trustee. In the event that the Bank shall no longer be the Paying Agent or a successor
Paying Agent shall resign or its authority to act be revoked, the Property Trustee shall appoint a 

  
 28 

 
successor that is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Trustees to act as Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company). Such successor Paying Agent or any additional Paying Agent
shall execute and deliver to the Issuer Trustees an instrument in which such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent shall agree with the Issuer Trustees that as Paying Agent, such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent will
hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Holders in trust for the benefit of the Holders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Holders. The Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the Property Trustee and upon
removal of a Paying Agent such Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to the Property Trustee. The provisions of Sections 8.1, 8.3 and 8.6 herein shall apply to the Bank also in its role as Paying Agent, for so long as the Bank
shall act as Paying Agent and, to the extent applicable, to any other paying agent appointed hereunder. Any reference in this Trust Agreement to the Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the
context requires otherwise. 
 Section 5.11. Ownership of Common Securities by Depositor. 

At the Closing Date, the Depositor shall acquire and retain beneficial and record ownership of the Common Securities. Neither the Depositor nor
any successor Holder of the Common Securities may transfer less than all the Common Securities, and the Depositor and any successor Holder may transfer the Common Securities only (i) in connection with a consolidation or merger of the Depositor
into another Person, or any conveyance, transfer or lease by the Depositor of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, pursuant to [Section [    ]] of the Indenture, or (ii) to the Depositor or
an Affiliate of the Depositor in compliance with applicable law (including the Securities Act and applicable State securities and blue sky laws), and in either case only upon an effective assignment and delegation by the Holder of all the Common
Securities to its transferee of all of its rights and obligations under the Expense Agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any attempted transfer of the Common Securities other than as set forth in the next preceding sentence shall be
void. The Administrative Trustees shall cause each Common Securities Certificate issued to the Depositor to contain a legend stating substantially “THIS CERTIFICATE IS NOT TRANSFERABLE EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 5.11 OF THE TRUST
AGREEMENT AND ONLY IN CONNECTION WITH A SIMULTANEOUS DELEGATION AND ASSIGNMENT OF THE EXPENSE AGREEMENT REFERRED TO THEREIN”. 
 Section 5.12.
Notices to Clearing Agency. 
 To the extent that a notice or other communication to the Owners is required under this Trust
Agreement, unless and until Definitive Capital Securities Certificates shall have been issued to all Owners pursuant to Section 5.4(b), the Issuer Trustees shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Owners to
the Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligations to the Owners. 

  
 29 

 Section 5.13. Rights of Holders. 

(a)    The legal title to the Trust Property is vested exclusively in the Property Trustee (in its capacity as such) in
accordance with Section 2.9, and the Holders shall not have any right or title therein other than the undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the Issuer Trust conferred by their Trust Securities and they shall have no right to call for
any partition or division of property, profits or rights of the Issuer Trust except as described below. The Trust Securities shall be personal property giving only the rights specifically set forth therein and in this Trust Agreement. The Trust
Securities shall have no preemptive or similar rights and, except to the extent set forth in Section 4.8, when issued and delivered to Holders against payment of the purchase price therefor will be fully paid and nonassessable undivided
beneficial interests in Trust Property. Except as set forth in Section 4.8, the Holders, in their capacities as such, shall be entitled to the same limitation of personal liability extended to stockholders of private corporations for profit
organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. 
 (b)    For so long as any Capital Securities
remain Outstanding, if a Debenture Event of Default (other than a Debenture Event of Default specified in [Section [    ] or [    ]] of the Indenture) has occurred and is continuing, and if the Debenture
Trustee fails and the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Subordinated Debentures fail to declare the principal of all of the Subordinated Debentures to be immediately due and payable, the Holders of at
least 25% in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities then Outstanding shall have such right pursuant to [Section [    ]] of the Indenture, which may be exercised by giving notice in writing to the Depositor and the
Debenture Trustee with a copy to the Property Trustee; and upon any such declaration such principal amount of and the accrued interest on all of the Subordinated Debentures shall become immediately due and payable, provided that the payment of
principal and interest on such Subordinated Debentures shall remain subordinated to the extent provided in the Indenture. 
 At any time
after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Subordinated Debentures has been made by the Holders of Capital Securities and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Debenture Trustee as in the
Indenture provided, the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Outstanding Capital Securities, by written notice to the Property Trustee, the Depositor and the Debenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration
and its consequences if: 
 (i)    the Depositor has paid or deposited with the Debenture Trustee a sum sufficient to
pay: 
 (A)    all overdue interest on all of the Subordinated Debentures, 

(B)    the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Subordinated Debentures which have become due otherwise than by
such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate borne by the Subordinated Debentures, and 

(C)    all sums paid or advanced by the Debenture Trustee under the Indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Debenture Trustee and the Property Trustee, their agents and counsel; and 

  
 30 

 (ii)    all Events of Default with respect to the Subordinated Debentures,
other than the non-payment of the principal of the Subordinated Debentures which has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in [Section [    ]] of the
Indenture. 
 The Holders of at least a majority in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Outstanding Capital Securities may, on behalf of the
Holders of all the Capital Securities, waive any past default under the Indenture with respect to the Subordinated Debentures, except a default in the payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest (unless a sum sufficient to pay all overdue
interest, premium (if any) and principal due in respect of the Subordinated Debentures otherwise than by acceleration has been deposited with the Debenture Trustee) or a default in respect of a covenant or provision which under [Article
[    ]] of the Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding Subordinated Debenture. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

 Upon receipt by the Property Trustee of written notice declaring such an acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof, by Holders of
the Capital Securities all or part of which is represented by Book-Entry Capital Securities, a record date shall be established for determining Holders of Outstanding Capital Securities entitled to join in such notice, which record date shall be at
the close of business on the day the Property Trustee receives such notice. The Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such notice, whether or not such Holders remain
Holders after such record date; provided, that, unless such declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having joined in such notice prior to the day
which is 90 days after such record date, such notice of declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be canceled and of no further effect. Nothing in this
paragraph shall prevent a Holder, or a proxy of a Holder, from giving, after expiration of such 90-day period, a new written notice of declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof, as the
case may be, that is identical to a written notice which has been canceled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in which event a new record date shall be established pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.13(b). 

(c)    For so long as any Capital Securities remain Outstanding, to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the
terms of this Trust Agreement and the Indenture, upon a Debenture Event of Default specified in [Section [    ] or [    ]] of the Indenture, any Holder of Capital Securities shall have the right to institute a
proceeding directly against the Depositor, pursuant to [Section [    ]] of the Indenture for enforcement of payment to such Holder of the principal amount of or premium (if any) or interest on Subordinated Debentures having a
principal amount equal to the Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities of such Holder (a “Direct Action”). Except as set forth in this Section 5.13, the Holders of Capital Securities shall have no right to exercise directly any
right or remedy available to the holders of, or in respect of, the Subordinated Debentures, and their right to do so under this Section 5.13 shall terminate when there are no Capital Securities Outstanding. 

  
 31 

 ARTICLE VI. 

ACTS OF HOLDERS; MEETINGS; VOTING 

Section 6.1. Limitations on Voting Rights. 

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

(b)    So long as any Subordinated Debentures are held by the Issuer Trust, the Property Trustee shall not (i) direct
the time, method or place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Debenture Trustee, or executing any trust or power conferred on the Property Trustee with respect to such Subordinated Debentures, (ii) waive any past
default with respect to the Subordinated Debentures which is waivable under [Section [    ]] of the Indenture, (iii) exercise any right to rescind or annul a declaration that the principal of all the Subordinated Debentures
shall be due and payable or (iv) consent to any amendment, modification or termination of the Subordinated Debentures or the Indenture with respect to the Subordinated Debentures, where such consent shall be required, without, in each case (i),
(ii), (iii) and (iv), obtaining the prior approval of the Holders of at least a majority in Liquidation Amount of all Outstanding Capital Securities, provided, however, that where a consent under the Indenture would require the consent of each
holder of Subordinated Debentures affected thereby, no such consent shall be given by the Property Trustee without the prior written consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Capital Security affected thereby. The Issuer Trustees shall not revoke
any action previously authorized or approved by a vote of the Holders of Capital Securities, except by a subsequent vote of the Holders of Capital Securities. The Property Trustee shall notify all Holders of the Capital Securities of any notice of
default received from the Debenture Trustee with respect to the Subordinated Debentures. In addition to obtaining the foregoing approvals of the Holders of the Capital Securities, prior to taking any of the foregoing actions, the Property Trustee
shall, at the expense of the Depositor, obtain an Opinion of Counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that such action shall not cause the Issuer Trust to be classified as an association taxable as a corporation or as other than a grantor
trust for United States Federal income tax purposes. 
 (c)    As and to the extent permitted in Section 10.2,
amendment to this Trust Agreement may be made, from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of the Capital Securities: 

(i)    to cure any ambiguity, correct or supplement any provisions in this Trust Agreement that may be inconsistent with
any other provision, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Trust Agreement, which will not be inconsistent with the other provisions of this Trust Agreement; or 

  
 32 

 (ii)    to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of this Trust
Agreement as necessary to ensure that: 
 (A)    the Issuer Trust will be classified for U.S. federal income tax
purposes as a grantor trust and not as an association taxable as a corporation at all times that any Capital Securities are outstanding, [or] 

(B)    the Issuer Trust will not be required to register as an “investment company” under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, [or] 
 (C)    [if applicable, insert: a Capital Treatment Event (as defined in the
Indenture) does not occur]. 
 provided that, if any proposed amendment to the Trust Agreement provides for, or the Issuer Trustees otherwise propose to
effect, (i) any action that would adversely affect in any material respect the powers, preferences or special rights of the Capital Securities, whether by way of amendment to this Trust Agreement or otherwise, or (ii) the dissolution, winding-up or termination of the Issuer Trust, other than pursuant to the terms of this Trust Agreement, then the Holders of Outstanding Capital Securities as a class will be entitled to vote on such amendment or
proposal and such amendment or proposal shall not be effective except with the approval of the Holders of at least a majority in Liquidation Amount of the Outstanding Capital Securities. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust Agreement,
no amendment to this Trust Agreement may be made if, as a result of such amendment, it would cause the Issuer Trust to be classified as an association taxable as a corporation or as other than a grantor trust for United States Federal income tax
purposes. 
 (d)    As and to the extent permitted in Section 10.2, amendment to this Trust Agreement may be made,
from time to time, by the Holders of Common Securities with: 
 (i)    the consent of Holders representing at least a
majority (based upon liquidation amounts) of the Outstanding Capital Securities (and Common Securities); and 

(ii)    receipt by the Issuer Trust trustees of an opinion of counsel to the effect that the amendment or the exercise of
any power granted to the Issuer Trust trustees in accordance with the amendment will not cause the Issuer Trust to be taxable as a corporation or affect the Issuer Trust’s status as a grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes or the
Issuer Trust’s exemption from status as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, provided that, without the consent of the Holder of each Capital Security affected, this Trust Agreement may not be
amended to (i) reduce the amount or change the timing of any distribution required to be made on the Capital Securities as of a specified date; or (ii) restrict the right of a Holder of Capital Securities to institute suit for the
enforcement of any such payment on such Holder’s Capital Securities on or after such date. 

  
 33 

 Section 6.2. Notice of Meetings. 

Notice of all meetings of Holders of Capital Securities, stating the time, place and purpose of the meeting, shall be given by the Property
Trustee pursuant to Section 10.8 to each such Holder at such Holder’s address as it appears in the Securities Register as of the record date for such meeting. Such notice shall be sent, first-class mail, at least 15 days and not more than
90 days before the meeting. At any such meeting, any business properly before the meeting may be so considered whether or not stated in the notice of the meeting. Any adjourned meeting may be held as adjourned without further notice. 

Section 6.3. Meetings of Holders of Capital Securities. 

No annual meeting of Holders is required to be held. The Property Trustee, however, shall call a meeting of Holders of Capital Securities to
vote on any matter upon the written request of the Holders of record of at least 25% of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of Outstanding Capital Securities) and the Administrative Trustees or the Property Trustee may, at any time in their discretion,
call a meeting of Holders of Capital Securities to vote on any matters as to which Holders of Capital Securities are entitled to vote. 

Holders of at least 50% of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of Outstanding Capital Securities, present in person or by proxy, shall constitute
a quorum at any meeting of Holders of Capital Securities. 
 If a quorum is present at a meeting, an affirmative vote by the Holders of
record present, in person or by proxy, holding at least a majority of the Liquidation Amount of Outstanding Capital Securities held by the Holders of record present, either in person or by proxy, at such meeting shall constitute the action of the
Holders of Capital Securities, unless this Issuer Trust Agreement requires a greater number of affirmative votes. 
 Section 6.4. Voting Rights.

 In respect of any matter as to which a Holder is entitled to vote, such Holder shall be entitled to one vote for each
$[        ] in Liquidation Amount of Trust Securities held of record by such Holder. 
 Section 6.5.
Proxies, Etc. 
 At any meeting of Holders, any Holder entitled to vote thereat may vote by proxy, provided that no proxy shall be
voted at any meeting unless it shall have been placed on file with the Property Trustee, or with such other officer or agent of the Issuer Trust as the Property Trustee may direct, for verification prior to the time at which such vote shall be
taken. Pursuant to a resolution of the Property Trustee, proxies may be solicited in the name of the Property Trustee or one or more officers of the Property Trustee. Only Holders of record shall be entitled to vote. When Trust Securities are held
jointly by several Persons, any one of them may vote at any meeting in person or by proxy in respect of such Trust Securities, but if more than one of them shall be present at such meeting in person or by proxy, and such joint owners or their
proxies so present disagree as to any vote to be cast, such vote shall not be received in respect of such Trust Securities. A proxy purporting to be executed by or on behalf of a Holder shall be deemed valid unless challenged at or prior to its
exercise, and the burden of proving invalidity shall rest on the challenger. No proxy shall be valid more than three years after its date of execution. 

  
 34 

 Section 6.6. Holder Action by Written Consent. 

Any action which may be taken by Holders at a meeting may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice, if Holders holding a majority of
the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Outstanding Trust Securities entitled to vote in respect of such action (or such larger proportion thereof as shall be required by any express provision of this Trust Agreement) shall consent to the action in
writing. 
 Section 6.7. Record Date for Voting and Other Purposes. 

For the purpose of determining the Holders who are entitled to notice of and to vote at any meeting or to act by written consent, or to
participate in any Distribution on the Trust Securities in respect of which a record date is not otherwise provided for in this Trust Agreement, or for the purpose of any other action, the Administrative Trustees or Property Trustee may from time to
time fix a date, not more than 90 days prior to the date of any meeting of Holders or the payment of a Distribution or other action, as the case may be, as a record date for the determination of the identity of the Holders of record for such
purposes. 
 Section 6.8. Acts of Holders. 

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

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Trust Security shall bind every
future Holder of the same Trust Security and the Holder of every Trust Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Issuer
Trustees or the Issuer Trust in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Trust Security. 

  
 35 

 Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with
regard to any particular Trust Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the Liquidation Amount of such Trust Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any
part of such Liquidation Amount. 
 If any dispute shall arise between the Holders and the Issuer Trustees with respect to the authenticity,
validity or binding nature of any request, demand, authorization, direction, consent, waiver or other Act of such Holder or Issuer Trustee under this Article VI, then the determination of such matter by the Property Trustee shall be conclusive with
respect to such matter. 
 Section 6.9. Inspection of Records. 

Upon reasonable written notice to the Administrative Trustees and the Property Trustee, the records of the Issuer Trust shall be open to
inspection by Holders during normal business hours for any purpose reasonably related to such Holder’s interest as a Holder. 

ARTICLE VII.

Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, as amended individually or in the aggregate, would materially and adversely affect the Issuer Trust or the right, power and authority of the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case
may be, to enter into or perform its obligations as one of the Issuer Trustees under this Trust Agreement. 
 Section 7.2. Representations and
Warranties of Depositor.

Certificates issued on the Closing Date on behalf of the Issuer Trust have been duly authorized and will have been, duly and validly executed, issued and delivered by the Issuer Trustees pursuant to the terms and provisions of, and in accordance
with the requirements of, this Trust Agreement and the Holders will be, as of each such date, entitled to the benefits of this Trust Agreement.

 ARTICLE VIII. 

THE ISSUER TRUSTEES 
 Section 8.1.
Certain Duties and Responsibilities. 
 (a)    The duties and responsibilities of the Issuer Trustees shall be as
provided by this Trust Agreement and, in the case of the Property Trustee, by the Trust Indenture Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Trust Agreement shall require any of the Issuer Trustees to expend or risk their own funds or
otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of their duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of their rights or powers, if they shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Trust Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording
protection to the Issuer Trustees shall be subject to the provisions of this Article. Nothing in this Trust Agreement shall be construed to release an Issuer Trustee from liability for its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct with respect
to acts or omissions. To the extent that, at law or in equity, an Issuer Trustee has duties and liabilities relating thereto to the Issuer Trust or to the Holders, such Issuer Trustee shall not be liable to the Issuer Trust or to any Holder for such
Issuer Trustee’s good faith reliance on the provisions of this Trust Agreement. The provisions of this Trust Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of the Issuer Trustees otherwise existing at law or in equity,
are agreed by the Depositor and the Holders to replace such other duties and liabilities of the Issuer Trustees. 

(b)    All payments made by the Property Trustee or a Paying Agent in respect of the Trust Securities shall be made only
from the revenue and proceeds from the Trust Property and only to the extent that there shall be sufficient revenue or proceeds from the Trust Property to enable the Property Trustee or a Paying Agent to make payments in accordance with the terms
hereof. Each Holder, by its acceptance of a Trust Security, agrees that it will look solely to the revenue and proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent legally available for distribution to it as herein provided and that the Issuer Trustees
are not personally liable to it for any amount distributable in respect of any Trust Security or for any other liability in respect of any Trust Security. This Section 8.1(b) does not limit the liability of the Issuer Trustees expressly set
forth elsewhere in this Trust Agreement or, in the case of the Property Trustee, in the Trust Indenture Act. 

(c)    If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Property Trustee shall enforce this Trust Agreement for
the benefit of the Holders. 
 (d)    No provision of this Trust Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Property
Trustee or the Delaware Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 

(i)    the Property Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by an authorized officer of
the Property Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Property Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; 

  
 38 

 (ii)    the Property Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action
taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of not less than a majority in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any
remedy available to the Property Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Property Trustee under this Trust Agreement; 

(iii)    the Property Trustee’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safe keeping and physical preservation of the
Subordinated Debentures and the Payment Account shall be to deal with such property in a similar manner as the Property Trustee deals with similar property for its own account, subject to the protections and limitations on liability afforded to the
Property Trustee under this Trust Agreement and the Trust Indenture Act; 
 (iv)    the Property Trustee shall not be
liable for any interest on any money received by it except as it may otherwise agree in writing with the Depositor; and money held by the Property Trustee need not be segregated from other funds held by it except in relation to the Payment Account
maintained by the Property Trustee pursuant to Section 3.1 and except to the extent otherwise required by law; and 

(v)    the Property Trustee shall not be responsible for monitoring the compliance by the Administrative Trustees or the
Depositor with their respective duties under this Trust Agreement, nor shall the Property Trustee be liable for the default or misconduct of the Administrative Trustees or the Depositor. 

(e)    The Administrative Trustees shall not be responsible for monitoring the compliance by the other Issuer Trustees or
the Depositor with their respective duties under this Trust Agreement, nor shall either Administrative Trustee be liable for the default or misconduct of any other Administrative Trustee, the other Issuer Trustees or the Depositor. 

Section 8.2. Certain Notices. 

Within 30 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Property Trustee, the Property
Trustee shall transmit, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 10.8, notice of such Event of Default to the Holders, the Administrative Trustees and the Depositor, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived. 

Within five Business Days after the receipt of written notice of the Depositor’s exercise of its right to defer the payment of interest
on the Subordinated Debentures pursuant to the Indenture, the Property Trustee shall transmit, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 10.8, notice of such exercise to the Holders, unless such exercise shall have been revoked. 

  
 39 

 Section 8.3. Certain Rights of Property Trustee. 

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.1: 

(a)    the Property Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting in good faith
upon any resolution, Opinion of Counsel, certificate, written representation of a Holder or transferee, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond,
debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; 

(b)    if (i) in performing its duties under this Trust Agreement the Property Trustee is required to decide between
alternative courses of action or (ii) in construing any of the provisions of this Trust Agreement the Property Trustee finds the same ambiguous or inconsistent with any other provisions contained herein or (iii) the Property Trustee is
unsure of the application of any provision of this Trust Agreement, then, except as to any matter as to which the Holder of Capital Securities is entitled to vote under the terms of this Trust Agreement, the Property Trustee shall deliver a notice
to the Depositor requesting the Depositor’s direction as to the course of action to be taken and, if not so directed, the Property Trustee shall take such action, or refrain from taking such action, as the Property Trustee shall deem advisable
and in the best interests of the Holders, in which event the Property Trustee shall have no liability except for its own bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct; 

(c)    any direction or act of the Depositor or the Administrative Trustees contemplated by this Trust Agreement shall be
sufficiently evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate; 
 (d)    whenever in the administration of this Trust
Agreement, the Property Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be established before undertaking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Property Trustee (unless other evidence is herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence
of bad faith on its part, request and rely upon an Officers’ Certificate as to factual matters (other than the interpretation of this Agreement) which, upon receipt of such request, shall be promptly delivered by the Depositor or the
Administrative Trustees; 
 (e)    the Property Trustee shall have no duty to see to any recording, filing or
registration of any instrument (including any financing or continuation statement or any filing under tax or securities laws) or any rerecording, refiling or reregistration thereof; 

(f)    the Property Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection (which counsel may be counsel to the Depositor or
any of its Affiliates, and may include any of its employees) and the advice of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance
thereon and in accordance with such advice; the Property Trustee shall have the right at any time to seek instructions concerning the administration of this Trust Agreement from any court of competent jurisdiction; 

(g)    the Property Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this
Trust Agreement at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Trust Agreement, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Property Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and
liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction; provided 

  
 40 

 
that nothing contained in this Section 8.3(g) shall be taken to relieve the Property Trustee, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, of its obligation to exercise the rights and powers
vested in it by this Trust Agreement; 
 (h)    the Property Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into
the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, unless requested in
writing to do so by one or more Holders, but the Property Trustee may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit; 

(i)    the Property Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either
directly or by or through its agents or attorneys and the Property Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of, or for the supervision of, any such agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder; 

(j)    whenever in the administration of this Trust Agreement the Property Trustee shall deem it desirable to receive
instructions with respect to enforcing any remedy or right or taking any other action hereunder the Property Trustee (i) may request instructions from the Holders of the Trust Securities which instructions may only be given by the Holders of
the same proportion in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities as would be entitled to direct the Property Trustee under the terms of the Trust Securities in respect of such remedy, right or action, (ii) may refrain from enforcing such
remedy or right or taking such other action until such instructions are received, and (iii) shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with such instructions; 

(k)    except as otherwise expressly provided by this Trust Agreement, the Property Trustee shall not be under any
obligation to take any action that is discretionary under the provisions of this Trust Agreement; 
 (l)    when the
Property Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with a Bankruptcy Event, such expenses (including the fees and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for such services are intended to constitute expenses of administration
under any bankruptcy law or law relating to creditors rights generally; and 
 (m)    the Property Trustee shall not be
charged with knowledge of an Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Property Trustee obtains actual knowledge of such event or the Property Trustee receives written notice of such event from Holders holding more than a majority of
Capital Securities (based upon Liquidation Amount). 
 No provision of this Trust Agreement shall be deemed to impose any duty or obligation
on any Issuer Trustee to perform any act or acts or exercise any right, power, duty or obligation conferred or imposed on it, in any jurisdiction in which it shall be illegal, or in which any Issuer Trustee shall be unqualified or incompetent in
accordance with applicable law, to perform any such act or acts, or to exercise any such right, power, duty or obligation. No permissive power or authority available to any Issuer Trustee shall be construed to be a duty. 

  
 41 

 Section 8.4. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities. 

The recitals contained herein and in the Trust Securities Certificates shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer Trust, and the Issuer
Trustees do not assume any responsibility for their correctness. The Issuer Trustees shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor of the proceeds of the Subordinated Debentures. 

Section 8.5. May Hold Securities. 

Any Issuer Trustee or any other agent of any Issuer Trustee or the Issuer Trust, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner
or pledgee of Trust Securities and, subject to Sections 8.8 and 8.13 and except as provided in the definition of the term “Outstanding” in Article I, may otherwise deal with the Issuer Trust with the same rights it would have if it were
not an Issuer Trustee or such other agent. 
 Section 8.6. Compensation; Indemnity; Fees. 

The Depositor agrees: 

(a)    to pay to the Issuer Trustees from time to time such compensation as shall be agreed in writing between the Issuer
Trustees and the Depositor for all services rendered by them hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust); 

(b)    except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Issuer Trustees upon request for all reasonable
expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Issuer Trustees in accordance with any provision of this Trust Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any
such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct; and 

(c)    to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to indemnify and hold harmless (i) each Issuer Trustee,
(ii) each Paying Agent, (iii) any Affiliate of any Issuer Trustee, (iv) any officer, director, shareholder, employee, representative or agent of any Issuer Trustee, and (v) any employee or agent of the Issuer Trust or its
Affiliates (referred to herein as an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any loss, damage, liability, tax, penalty, expense (including reasonable
out-of-pocket legal fees and expenses) or claim of any kind or nature whatsoever incurred by such Indemnified Person by reason of the creation, operation or termination
of the Issuer Trust or any act or omission performed or omitted by such Indemnified Person in good faith on behalf of the Issuer Trust and in a manner such Indemnified Person reasonably believed to be within the scope of authority conferred on such
Indemnified Person by this Trust Agreement, except that no Indemnified Person shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Indemnified Person by reason of negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct
with respect to such acts or omissions. 
 The provisions of this Section 8.6 shall survive the termination of this Trust Agreement or
the earlier resignation or removal of any Issuer Trustee. 

  
 42 

 No Issuer Trustee may claim any Lien on any Trust Property as a result of any amount due pursuant
to this Section 8.6. 
 The Depositor and any Issuer Trustee (in the case of the Property Trustee, subject to Section 8.8 hereof)
may engage in or possess an interest in other business ventures of any nature or description, independently or with others, similar or dissimilar to the business of the Issuer Trust, and the Issuer Trust and the Holders of Trust Securities shall
have no rights by virtue of this Trust Agreement in and to such independent ventures or the income or profits derived therefrom, and the pursuit of any such venture, even if competitive with the business of the Issuer Trust, shall not be deemed
wrongful or improper. None of the Depositor or any Issuer Trustee, shall be obligated to present any particular investment or other opportunity to the Issuer Trust even if such opportunity is of a character that, if presented to the Issuer Trust,
could be taken by the Issuer Trust, and the Depositor or any Issuer Trustee shall have the right to take for its own account (individually or as a partner or fiduciary) or to recommend to others any such particular investment or other opportunity.
Any Issuer Trustee may engage or be interested in any financial or other transaction with the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor, or may act as depository for, trustee or agent for, or act on any committee or body of holders of, securities
or other obligations of the Depositor or its Affiliates. 
 Section 8.7. Corporate Property Trustee Required; Eligibility of Issuer Trustees.

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

(c)    There shall at all times be a Delaware Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities. The Delaware Trustee shall
either be (i) a natural person who is at least 21 years of age and a resident of the State of Delaware or (ii) a legal entity with its principal place of business in the State of Delaware and that otherwise meets the requirements of
applicable Delaware law that shall act through one or more persons authorized to bind such entity. 

  
 43 

 Section 8.8. Conflicting Interests. 

(a)    If the Property Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act,
the Property Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Trust Agreement. 

(b)    The Guarantee Agreement and the Indenture shall be deemed to be specifically described in this Trust Agreement for
the purposes of clause (i) of the first proviso contained in Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. 
 Section 8.9. Co-Trustees and Separate Trustee. 
 Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
at any time or times, for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of the Trust Indenture Act or of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Property may at the time be located, the Property Trustee shall have power to appoint, and upon
the written request of the Property Trustee, the Depositor and the Administrative Trustees shall for such purpose join in the execution, delivery, and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to appoint, one or more Persons
approved by the Property Trustee either to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Property Trustee, of all or any part of such Trust Property, or to the extent required by law to act as separate trustee of any
such property, in either case with such powers as may be provided in the instrument of appointment, and to vest in such Person or Persons in the capacity aforesaid, any property, title, right or power deemed necessary or desirable, subject to the
other provisions of this Section. Any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed pursuant to this Section shall either be (i) a natural person who is at least 21 years of age and a resident of the United
States or (ii) a legal entity with its principal place of business in the United States that shall act through one or more persons authorized to bind such entity. 

Should any written instrument from the Depositor be required by any co-trustee or separate trustee so
appointed for more fully confirming to such co-trustee or separate trustee such property, title, right, or power, any and all such instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the
Depositor. 
 Every co-trustee or separate trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, but to
such extent only, be appointed subject to the following terms, namely: 
 (a)    The Trust Securities shall be executed
by at least one Administrative Trustee and the Trust Securities shall be delivered by the Property Trustee and all rights, powers, duties, and obligations hereunder in respect of the custody of securities, cash and other personal property held by,
or required to be deposited or pledged with, the Issuer Trustees specified hereunder shall be exercised solely by such Issuer Trustees and not by such co-trustee or separate trustee. 

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

  
 44 

 
of any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed, the Property Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties and
obligations shall be exercised and performed by such co-trustee or separate trustee. 

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

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

(f)    Any Act of Holders delivered to the Property Trustee shall be deemed to have been delivered to each such co-trustee and separate trustee. 
 Section 8.10. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. 

No resignation or removal of any Issuer Trustee (the “Relevant Trustee”) and no appointment of a successor Issuer Trustee pursuant to
this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Issuer Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11. 

Subject to the immediately preceding paragraph, a Relevant Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Holders. If
the instrument of acceptance by the successor Issuer Trustee required by Section 8.11 shall not have been delivered to the Relevant Trustee within 60 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the Relevant Trustee may petition, at the
expense of the Issuer Trust, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Relevant Trustee. 
 Unless a Debenture
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any Issuer Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of the Holder of the Common Securities. If a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Property Trustee or
Delaware Trustee, or both of them, may be removed at such time by Act of the Holders of a majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities, delivered to the Relevant Trustee (in its individual capacity and on behalf of the Trust). An
Administrative Trustee may be removed by the Holder of the Common Securities at any time. In no event will the Holders of the Capital Securities have a right to vote to appoint, remove or replace the Administrative Trustees. If the instrument of
acceptance by the successor Issuer Trustee required by Section 8.11 shall not have 

  
 45 

 
been delivered to the Relevant Trustee within 60 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the Relevant Trustee may petition, at the expense of the Issuer Trust, any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Relevant Trustee. 
 If any Issuer Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of
acting as Issuer Trustee, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of any Issuer Trustee for any reason, at a time when no Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Holder of the Common Securities, by Act, shall promptly
appoint a successor Issuer Trustee or Issuer Trustees, and the retiring Issuer Trustee shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11, except that a successor Administrative Trustee need not comply with Section 8.11. If the
Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of continuing to act as the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, at a time when a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Holders of the Capital Securities, by Act of the Holders of a majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities then Outstanding shall promptly appoint a successor Relevant Trustee or Trustees, and such successor Trustee shall
comply with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11. If an Administrative Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting as Administrative Trustee, at a time when a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Holder of the Common Securities, by Act, shall promptly appoint a successor Administrative Trustee or Trustees. If no successor Relevant Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Holder of the Common Securities or the Holders of
the Capital Securities and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 8.11 if applicable, any Holder who has been a Holder of Trust Securities for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated,
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Relevant Trustee. 
 The Property Trustee shall give notice
of each resignation and each removal of an Issuer Trustee and each appointment of a successor Issuer Trustee to all Holders in the manner provided in Section 10.8 and shall give such notice to the Depositor. Each notice shall include the name
of the successor Relevant Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office if it is the Property Trustee. 
 Notwithstanding the
foregoing or any other provision of this Trust Agreement, in the event any Administrative Trustee who is a natural person dies or becomes, in the opinion of the Holder of Common Securities, incompetent or incapacitated, the vacancy created by such
death, incompetence or incapacity may be filled by appointment by the remaining Administrative Trustees. 
 Section 8.11. Acceptance of Appointment
by Successor. 
 In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Relevant Trustee, other than the appointment of a successor
Administrative Trustee pursuant to Section 8.19(a), the retiring Relevant Trustee (if requested by the Depositor) and each successor Relevant Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities shall execute and deliver an amendment hereto wherein
each successor Relevant Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (a) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Relevant Trustee all the rights, powers,
trusts and duties of the retiring Relevant Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities and the Issuer Trust and (b) shall add to or change 

  
 46 

 
any of the provisions of this Trust Agreement as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the Issuer Trust by more than one Relevant Trustee, it being understood that
nothing herein or in such amendment shall constitute such Relevant Trustees co-trustees and upon the execution and delivery of such amendment the resignation or removal of the retiring Relevant Trustee shall
become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Relevant Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Relevant Trustee; but, on
request of the Issuer Trust or any successor Relevant Trustee such retiring Relevant Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Relevant Trustee all Trust Property, all proceeds thereof and money held by such retiring Relevant
Trustee hereunder with respect to the Trust Securities and the Issuer Trust. 
 Upon request of any such successor Relevant Trustee, the
Issuer Trust shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Relevant Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the first or second preceding paragraph, as the case may
be. 
 No successor Relevant Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Relevant Trustee
shall be qualified and eligible under this Article. 
 Section 8.12. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. 

Any Person into which the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any
Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Relevant Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of such Relevant Trustee, shall be the successor of such
Relevant Trustee hereunder, provided that such Person shall be otherwise eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. 

Section 8.13. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Depositor or the Issuer Trust. 

If and when the Property Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Depositor or the Issuer Trust (or any other obligor upon the Capital
Securities), the Property Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Depositor or the Issuer Trust (or any such other obligor). 

  
 47 

 In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment, composition or other similar judicial proceeding relative to the Issuer Trust or any other obligor upon the Trust Securities or the property of the Issuer Trust or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Property
Trustee (irrespective of whether any Distributions on the Trust Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Property Trustee shall have made any demand on the Issuer
Trust for the payment of any past due Distributions) shall be entitled and empowered, to the fullest extent permitted by law, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 

(a)    to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of any Distributions owing and unpaid in respect of the Trust
Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Property Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Property
Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and 
 (b)    to collect and
receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee,
trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Property Trustee and, in the event the Property Trustee shall consent to the making of such
payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Property Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Property Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Property Trustee.

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

 Section 8.14. Reports by Property Trustee. 

(a)    Not later than [    ] of each year commencing with [    ], the Property
Trustee shall transmit to all Holders in accordance with Section 10.8, and to the Depositor, a brief report dated as of the immediately preceding [    ], with respect to: 

(i)    its eligibility under Section 8.7 or, in lieu thereof, if to the best of its knowledge it has continued to be
eligible under said Section, a written statement to such effect; 
 (ii)    its knowledge of such Property
Trustee’s compliance with all conditions and covenants under this Agreement; and 
 (iii)    any change in the
property and funds in its possession as Property Trustee since the date of its last report and any action taken by the Property Trustee in the performance of its duties hereunder which it has not previously reported and which in its opinion
materially affects the Trust Securities. 
 (b)    In addition the Property Trustee shall transmit to Holders such
reports concerning the Property Trustee and its actions under this Trust Agreement as may be required pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act at the times and in the manner provided pursuant thereto. 

(c)    A copy of each such report shall, at the time of such transmission to Holders, be filed by the Property Trustee
with each national stock exchange, the Nasdaq National Market or such other interdealer quotation system or self-regulatory organization upon which the 

  
 48 

 
Trust Securities are listed or traded, with the Commission and with the Depositor. The Depositor shall promptly notify the Property Trustee whenever the Trust Securities are so listed and of any
delisting thereof.

ARTICLE IX. 
 
TERMINATION, LIQUIDATION AND MERGER 
 Section 9.1. Dissolution Upon Expiration Date. 

Unless earlier dissolved, the Issuer Trust shall automatically dissolve on
[            ] (the “Expiration Date”). 
 Section 9.2. Early Termination.

 The first to occur of any of the following events is an “Early Termination Event,” upon the occurrence of which the Issuer Trust
shall dissolve: 
 (a)    the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event in respect of, or the dissolution or liquidation of, the
Holder of the Common Securities; 
 (b)    the written direction to the Property Trustee from the Holder of the Common
Securities at any time to dissolve the Issuer Trust and, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Issuer Trust as provided by applicable law, distribute Subordinated Debentures to Holders in exchange for the Capital Securities; 

  
 50 

 (c)    the redemption of all of the Capital Securities in connection with the
redemption of all the Subordinated Debentures; and 
 (d)    the entry of an order for dissolution of the Issuer Trust
by a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 Section 9.3. Termination. 

The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Issuer Trustees and the Issuer Trust created and continued hereby shall terminate upon
the latest to occur of the following: (a) the distribution by the Property Trustee to Holders upon the liquidation of the Issuer Trust pursuant to Section 9.4, or upon the redemption of all of the Trust Securities pursuant to
Section 4.2, of all amounts required to be distributed hereunder upon the final payment of the Trust Securities; (b) the payment of any expenses owed by the Issuer Trust; and (c) the discharge of all administrative duties of the
Administrative Trustees, including the performance of any tax reporting obligations with respect to the Issuer Trust or the Holders. 
 Section 9.4.
Liquidation. 
 (a)    If an Early Termination Event specified in clause (a), (b) or (d) of Section 9.2
occurs, or upon the Expiration Date, the Issuer Trust shall be liquidated by the Property Trustee as expeditiously as the Property Trustee determines to be possible by distributing, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Issuer Trust
as provided by applicable law, to each Holder a Like Amount of Subordinated Debentures, subject to Section 9.4(d). Notice of liquidation shall be given by the Property Trustee by first-class mail, postage prepaid mailed not later than 30 nor
more than 60 days prior to the Liquidation Date to each Holder of Trust Securities at such Holder’s address appearing in the Securities Register. All notices of liquidation shall: 

(i)    state the Liquidation Date; 

(ii)    state that from and after the Liquidation Date, the Trust Securities will no longer be deemed to be Outstanding
and any Trust Securities Certificates not surrendered for exchange will be deemed to represent a Like Amount of Subordinated Debentures; and 

(iii)    provide such information with respect to the mechanics by which Holders may exchange Trust Securities
Certificates for Subordinated Debentures, or if Section 9.4(d) applies receive a Liquidation Distribution, as the Property Trustee (after consultation with the Administrative Trustees) shall deem appropriate. 

(b)    Unless Section 9.2(c) or 9.4(d) applies, in order to effect the liquidation of the Issuer Trust and the
distribution of Subordinated Debentures to Holders, the Property Trustee shall establish a record date for such distribution (which shall be not more than 45 days prior to the Liquidation Date) and, either itself acting as exchange agent or through
the appointment of a 

  
 51 

 
separate exchange agent, shall establish such procedures as it shall deem appropriate to effect the distribution of Subordinated Debentures in exchange for the Outstanding Trust Securities
Certificates. 
 (c)    Unless Section 9.2(c) or 9.4(d) applies, after the Liquidation Date, (i) the Trust
Securities will no longer be deemed to be Outstanding, (ii) certificates representing a Like Amount of Subordinated Debentures will be issued to Holders of Trust Securities Certificates, upon surrender of such certificates to the exchange agent
for exchange, (iii) the Depositor shall use its best efforts to have the Subordinated Debentures listed on such exchange, interdealer quotation system or self-regulatory organization (if any) as the Capital Securities are then listed on,
(iv) any Trust Securities Certificates not so surrendered for exchange will be deemed to represent a Like Amount of Subordinated Debentures, accruing interest at the rate provided for in the Subordinated Debentures from the last Distribution
Date on which a Distribution was made on such Trust Securities Certificates until such certificates are so surrendered (and until such certificates are so surrendered, no payments of interest or principal will be made to Holders of Trust Securities
Certificates with respect to such Subordinated Debentures) and (v) all rights of Holders holding Trust Securities will cease, except the right of such Holders to receive Subordinated Debentures upon surrender of Trust Securities Certificates.

 (d)    If, notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 9.4, whether because of an order for dissolution
entered by a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise, distribution of the Subordinated Debentures in the manner provided herein is determined by the Property Trustee not to be practical, then the Trust Property shall be liquidated, and the
Issuer Trust shall be wound-up by the Property Trustee in such manner as the Property Trustee determines. In such event, on the date of the dissolution of the Issuer Trust, Holders will be entitled to receive
out of the assets of the Issuer Trust available for distribution to Holders, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Issuer Trust as provided by applicable law, an amount equal to the Liquidation Amount per Trust Security plus
accumulated and unpaid Distributions (including any Additional Amounts and Other Amounts) thereon to the date of payment (such amount being the “Liquidation Distribution”). If, upon any such winding up, the Liquidation Distribution can be
paid only in part because the Issuer Trust has insufficient assets available to pay in full the aggregate Liquidation Distribution, then, subject to the next succeeding sentence, the amounts payable by the Issuer Trust on the Trust Securities shall
be paid on a pro rata basis (based upon Liquidation Amounts). The Holders of the Common Securities will be entitled to receive Liquidation Distributions upon any such winding-up pro rata (determined as
aforesaid) with Holders of Capital Securities, except that, if a Debenture Event of Default specified in [Section [    ] or [    ]] of the Indenture has occurred and is continuing, the Capital Securities shall
have a priority over the Common Securities as provided in Section 4.3. 
 Section 9.5. Mergers, Consolidations, Amalgamations or Replacements
of the Issuer Trust. 
 The Issuer Trust may not merge, consolidate or amalgamate with or into, be replaced by, or convey, transfer or
lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any entity, except pursuant to this Article IX. At the request of the Holder of the Common Securities and with the consent of the Holders of a majority (based on Liquidation Amounts) of
the Outstanding Capital Securities, the Issuer Trust may merge, consolidate or amalgamate with or into, be replaced by or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to a

  
 52 

 
trust organized as such under the laws of any State; provided that (i) such successor entity either (a) expressly assumes all of the obligations of the Issuer Trust with respect to the
Capital Securities or (b) substitutes for the Capital Securities other securities having substantially the same terms as the Capital Securities (“Successor Securities”) so long as the Successor Securities rank the same as the Capital
Securities rank in priority with respect to distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption and otherwise, (ii) a trustee of such successor entity possessing the same powers and duties as the Property Trustee is appointed as the holder
of the Subordinated Debentures, (iii) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not cause the Capital Securities (including any Successor Securities) to be downgraded by any nationally recognized
statistical rating organization, (iv) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the Holder of the Capital Securities (including any
Successor Securities) in any material respect, (v) such successor entity has a purpose substantially identical to that of the Issuer Trust, (vi) prior to such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease,
the Issuer Trust has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (a) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the Holders of
the Capital Securities (including any Successor Securities) in any material respect, and (b) following such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, neither the Issuer Trust nor such successor entity will
be required to register as an investment company under the 1940 Act and (vii) the Depositor owns all of the common securities of such successor entity and guarantees the obligations of such successor entity under the Successor Securities at
least to the extent provided by the Guarantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer Trust shall not, except with the consent of Holders of all Outstanding Capital Securities, merge, consolidate or amalgamate with or into, be replaced by or
convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any other Person or permit any other Person to merge, consolidate or amalgamate with or into or replace it if such merger, consolidation or amalgamation,
replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease would cause the Issuer Trust or the successor Person to be classified as an association taxable as a corporation or as other than a grantor trust for United States Federal income tax purposes. Upon any
merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease effected in accordance with this Section 9.5, the successor entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for, the Issuer Trust hereunder with the same effect as if
such successor entity had been initially created and named as the Issuer Trust herein and thereafter, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor entity shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants hereunder. 

ARTICLE X.

Section 10.2(c) hereof, any provision of this Trust Agreement may be amended by the Holder of the Common Securities with (i) the consent of Holders of at least a majority in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Outstanding Trust Securities
and (ii) receipt by the Issuer Trustees of an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Issuer Trustees in accordance with such amendment will not affect the Issuer Trust’s status as a
grantor trust or cause the Issuer Trust to be an association taxable as a corporation for United States Federal income tax purposes or the Issuer Trust’s exemption from status of an investment company under the 1940 Act.

or the deletion of this proviso, in accordance with the requirements of Section 8.9 or 8.11 or as otherwise necessary to facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Property Trustee (or other Issuer Trustee) appointed
pursuant hereto). 

  
 54 

 (d)    Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Trust Agreement, no
Issuer Trustee shall enter into or consent to any amendment to this Trust Agreement which would cause the Issuer Trust to be classified as an association taxable as a corporation or not to be a grantor trust for United States Federal income tax
purposes or to fail or cease to qualify for the exemption from status of an investment company under the 1940 Act. 

(e)    Notwithstanding anything in this Trust Agreement to the contrary, without the consent of the Depositor, this Trust
Agreement may not be amended in a manner which imposes any additional obligation or liability on the Depositor.
