Securities as Tier 1 Capital shall not constitute the basis for a Capital Disqualification Event if such inability results from the Company having such

any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be
certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some
matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

subsequent to the receipt by the Trustee of any Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate, Opinion of Counsel or other document or instrument, a clerical,
typographical or other inadvertent or unintentional error or omission shall be discovered therein, a new document or instrument may be
substituted therefor in corrected form with the same force and effect as if originally received in the corrected form and, irrespective of the date or dates of the actual execution and/or delivery
thereof, such substitute document or instrument shall be deemed to have been executed and/or delivered as of the date or dates required with respect to the document or instrument for which it is
substituted. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Securities issued under the authority of such defective document or instrument shall nevertheless be the valid obligations of the
Company entitled to the benefits of this Indenture equally and ratably with all other Outstanding Securities. 

        SECTION
1.4.    Acts of Holders.    

        (a)   Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given to or taken by Holders may be embodied in
and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent thereof duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly
provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments (including any appointment of an agent) is or are delivered to the Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required,
to the Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of
the Holders 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 Indenture and
conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section 1.4. 

        (b)   The
fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by the certificate of
any 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 or her the execution
thereof. Where such execution is by a Person acting in other than his or her individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his or her authority. The fact
and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner that the Trustee deems sufficient
and in accordance with such reasonable rules as the Trustee may determine. 

9

  

        (c)   The
ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Securities Register. 

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

        (e)   Without
limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the
principal amount of such 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 principal amount. 

        (f)    Except
as set forth in paragraph (g) of this Section 1.4, the Company may set any day as a record date for
the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities entitled to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or
permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of Securities. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities on such record date, and no
other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, that no such
action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date (as defined below) by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities on such record
date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph
(whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be canceled and of no effect). Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the
Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder of
Securities in the manner set forth in Section 1.6. 

        (g)   The
Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities entitled to join in the giving or making of
(i) any Notice of Default, (ii) any declaration of acceleration or rescission or annulment thereof referred to in Section 5.2,
(iii) any request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 5.7(b) or (iv) any direction referred to in  Section 5.12. If any
record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities on such record date, and no other
Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date;  provided, that no such action shall be effective
hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite
principal amount of Outstanding Securities on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph
shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously
set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be canceled and of no effect). Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company's expense, shall
cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Company in writing and to each Holder of Securities in the manner set forth in  Section 1.6. 

        (h)   With
respect to any record date set pursuant to paragraph (f) or (g) of this Section 1.4, the party
hereto that sets such record date may designate any day as the "Expiration Date" and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or
later day; provided, that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the other party hereto in
writing, and to each Holder of Securities in the manner set forth in Section 1.6, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration
Date is not designated 

10

 

with
respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section 1.4, the party hereto that set such record date shall be deemed to have initially
designated the ninetieth (90th) day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the one hundred and eightieth (180th) day after the applicable record date. 

        SECTION
1.5.    Notices, Etc. to Trustee and Company.    

        Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver, Act of Holders, or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to,
or filed with: 

        (a)   the
Trustee by any Holder, any holder of Preferred Securities or the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in
writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or 

        (b)   the
Company by the Trustee, any Holder or any holder of Preferred Securities shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed, first class,

        SECTION
1.6.    Notice to Holders; Waiver.    

        Where
this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first
class, postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event to the address of such Holder as it appears in the Securities Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest
date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. If, by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular mail service or for any other reason, it shall be impossible or impracticable to mail
notice of any event to Holders when said notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall
be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any
particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person
entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing
shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. 

        SECTION
1.7.    Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.    

        The
Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction of this Indenture.

with a transaction involving the Company that is permitted under Article VIII and pursuant to which the assignee agrees in writing to perform the
Company's obligations hereunder, the Company shall not assign its obligations hereunder. 

        SECTION
1.9.    Separability Clause.    

        If
any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any
way be affected or impaired thereby, and there shall be deemed substituted for the provision at issue a valid, legal and enforceable provision as similar as possible to the provision at issue.

INDENTURE, EACH PARTY ACCEPTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS (AND COURTS APPEALS THEREFROM) FOR LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS INDENTURE. 

        SECTION
1.13.    Non-Business Days.    

        If
any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or the
Securities) payment of interest, premium or principal or other amounts in respect of such Security shall not be made on such date, but shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day (and no

        SECTION
2.1.    Form of Security.    

        Any
Security issued hereunder shall be in substantially the following form: 

 
 

STATE NATIONAL BANCSHARES, INC.
  
    Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Note due 2033    
    

	No.  ______________	 	 	 	$15,000,000    

        State
National Bancshares, Inc. a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Texas (hereinafter called the "Company,"
which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to
[                        ], or registered assigns,
the principal sum of Fifteen Million Four Hundred Seventy Thousand Dollars ($15,470,000) [if the Security is a Global Security, then
insert—or such other principal amount represented hereby as may be set forth in the records of the Securities Registrar hereinafter referred to in accordance with
the 

12

 

Indenture]
on September 30, 2033. The Company further promises to pay interest on said principal sum from July 14, 2003, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to
which interest has been paid or duly provided for, quarterly (subject to deferral as set forth herein) in arrears on March 30, June 30, September 30 and December 30 of each
year, commencing September 30, 2003, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (and no interest shall accrue in respect of the amounts whose payment is so
delayed for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date until such next succeeding Business Day), except that, if such Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment
shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case, with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, at the rate equal to LIBOR plus 3.05% per annum, together
with Additional Tax Sums, if any, as provided in Section 10.5 of the Indenture, until the principal hereof is paid or duly provided for or made
available for payment; provided, further, that any overdue principal, premium or Additional Tax Sums and any overdue installment of interest shall bear
Additional Interest at the rate equal to LIBOR plus 3.05% per annum (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), compounded quarterly, from the dates such amounts
are due until they are paid or made available for payment, and such interest shall be payable on demand. 

        The
amount of interest payable shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in the relevant interest period. The amount of interest
payable for any full interest period shall be computed by dividing the applicable rate per annum by four. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment
Date shall, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date
for such interest installment. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the
Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the
Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities not less than ten (10) days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent
with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. 

        So
long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall have the right, at any time and from time to time during the term of this Security, to defer the payment
of interest on this Security for a period of up to twenty (20) consecutive quarterly interest payment periods (each such period, an "Extension
Period"), during which Extension Period(s), no interest shall be due and payable (except any Additional Tax Sums that may be due and payable). No Extension Period shall end on
a date other than an Interest Payment Date, and no Extension Period shall extend beyond the Stated Maturity of the principal of this Security. No interest shall be due and payable during an Extension
Period (except any Additional Tax Sums that may be due and payable), except at the end thereof, but each installment of interest that would otherwise have been due and payable during such Extension
Period shall bear Additional Interest (to the extent payment of such interest would be legally enforceable) at the rate equal to LIBOR plus 3.05% per annum, compounded quarterly, from the dates on
which amounts would have otherwise been due and payable until paid or made available for payment. At the end of any such Extension Period, the Company shall pay all interest then accrued and unpaid on
this Security, together with such Additional Interest. Prior to the termination of any such Extension Period, the Company may further defer the payment of interest;  provided, that (i) all such
previous and further extensions comprising such Extension Period do not exceed twenty (20) quarterly interest
payment periods, (ii) no Extension Period shall end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date and (iii) no Extension Period shall extend beyond the Stated Maturity of the principal
of this Security. Upon the termination of any such Extension Period and upon the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest and any Additional Interest then due on any Interest Payment Date, the
Company may 

13

 

elect
to begin a new Extension Period; provided, that (i) such Extension Period does not exceed twenty (20) quarterly interest payment
periods, (ii) no Extension Period shall end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date and (iii) no Extension Period shall extend beyond the Stated Maturity of the principal of this
Security. The Company shall give the Holder of this Security and the Trustee written notice of its election to begin any such Extension Period at least one Business Day prior to the next succeeding
Interest Payment Date on which interest on this Security would be payable but for such deferral or, so long as this Security is held by the Trust, at least one Business Day prior to the earlier of
(i) the next succeeding date on which Distributions on the Preferred Securities of State National Capital Trust I would be payable but for such deferral and (ii) the date on which the
Property Trustee of such Trust is required to give notice to any securities exchange or other applicable self-regulatory organization or to holders of such Preferred Securities of the
record date for the payment of such Distributions. 

        During
any such Extension Period, the Company shall not (i) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with
respect to, any of the Company's capital stock or (ii) make any payment of principal of or any interest or premium on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities of the Company that rank  pari passu in all respects with or junior in interest to this Security (other than (a) repurchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of shares
of capital stock of the Company in connection with (1) any employment contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of any one or more employees, officers,
directors or consultants, (2) a dividend reinvestment or stockholder stock purchase plan or (3) the issuance of capital stock of the Company (or securities convertible into or
exercisable for such capital stock) as consideration in an acquisition transaction entered into prior to the applicable Extension Period, (b) as a result of an exchange or conversion of any
class or series of the Company's capital stock (or any capital stock of a Subsidiary of the Company) for any class or series of the Company's capital stock or of any class or series of the Company's
indebtedness for any class or series of the Company's capital
stock, (c) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of the Company's capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such capital stock or the security being converted
or exchanged, (d) any declaration of a dividend in connection with any Rights Plan, the issuance of rights, stock or other property under any Rights Plan, or the redemption or repurchase of
rights pursuant thereto or (e) any dividend in the form of stock, warrants, options or other rights where the dividend stock or the stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants, options or
other rights is the same stock as that on which the dividend is being paid or ranks pari passu with or junior to such stock). 

        Payment
of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Security shall be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender
for payment of public and private debts. Payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest due at the Maturity of this Security shall be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for
that purpose at 1617 Broadway Avenue, Lubbock, Texas 79401 upon surrender of such Securities to the Paying Agent, and payments of interest shall be made, subject to such surrender where applicable, by
wire transfer at such place and to such account at a banking institution in the United States as may be designated in writing to the Paying Agent at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the
date for payment by the Person entitled thereto unless proper written transfer instructions have not been received by the relevant record date, in which case such payments shall be made by check
mailed to the address of such Person as such address shall appear in the Security Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the holder of this Security is the Property Trustee, the payment
of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest (including any overdue installment of interest and Additional Tax Sums, if any) on this Security will be made at such place and to such account
as may be designated by the Property Trustee. 

        The
indebtedness evidenced by this Security is, to the extent provided in the Indenture, subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt, and
this Security is issued subject to the provisions of the Indenture with respect thereto. Each Holder of this 

14

 

Security,
by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee on his or her behalf to take such actions as may be necessary
or appropriate to effectuate the subordination so provided and (c) appoints the Trustee his or her attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. Each Holder hereof, by
his or her acceptance hereof, waives all notice of the acceptance of the subordination provisions contained herein and in the Indenture by each holder of Senior Debt, whether now outstanding or
hereafter incurred, and waives reliance by each such holder upon said provisions. 

        Unless
the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid
or obligatory for any purpose. 

[FORM
OF REVERSE OF SECURITY] 

        This
Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (the "Securities") issued under the Junior Subordinated
Indenture, dated as of July 14, 2003 (the "Indenture"), between the Company and The Bank of New York, as Trustee (in such capacity, the
"Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is
hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee, the holders of Senior Debt and the Holders of the Securities,
and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. 

        All
terms used in this Security that are defined in the Indenture or in the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement, dated as of July 14, 2003 (as modified, amended or supplemented
from time to time, the "Trust Agreement"), relating to the State National Capital Trust I (the "Trust")
among the Company, as Depositor, the Trustees named therein and the Holders from time to time of the Trust Securities issued pursuant thereto, shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture
or the Trust Agreement, as the case may be. 

        The
Company may, on any Interest Payment Date, at its option, upon not less than thirty (30) days' nor more than sixty (60) days' written notice to the Holders of the
Securities (unless a shorter notice period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) on or after September 30, 2008 and subject to the terms and conditions of  Article XI of the Indenture, redeem
this Security in whole at any time or in part from time to time at a Redemption Price equal to one hundred
percent (100%) of the principal amount hereof, together, in the case of any such redemption, with accrued interest, including any Additional Interest, to but excluding the date fixed for redemption;  provided, that the Company shall have received the prior approval of the Federal Reserve if then required. 

        In
addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Special Event, the Company may, at its option, upon not less than thirty (30) days' nor more than sixty
(60) days' written notice to the Holders of the Securities (unless a shorter notice period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), redeem this Security, in whole but not in part, subject to the
terms and conditions of Article XI of the Indenture at a Redemption Price equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount hereof,
together, in the case of any such redemption, with accrued interest, including any Additional Interest, to but excluding the date fixed for redemption;  provided, that the Company shall have received the
prior approval of the Federal Reserve if then required. 

        In
the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the
cancellation hereof. If less than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than sixty (60) days prior to the Redemption Date by
the Trustee from the Outstanding Securities not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem 

15

 

fair
and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of a portion of the principal amount of any Security. 

        The
Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the Trustee at any time to enter into a supplemental indenture or indentures for the purpose of
modifying in any manner the rights and obligations of the Company and of the Holders of the Securities, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities, to waive
compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall
be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof,
whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. 

        No
reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to
pay the principal of and any premium and interest, including any Additional Interest, on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 

        As
provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Securities Register, upon surrender of this
Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to
the Company and the Securities Registrar and duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities, of like tenor, of
authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 

        The
Securities are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $100,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the
Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities and of like tenor of a different authorized
denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 

        No
service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
payable in connection therewith. 

16

  

        The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not
this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

        The
Company and, by its acceptance of this Security or a beneficial interest therein, the Holder of, and any Person that acquires a beneficial interest in, this Security agree that, for
United States federal, state and local tax purposes, it is intended that this Security constitute indebtedness. 

        This Security shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of laws
provisions (other than Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law).

        Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the
Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

        IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly executed.

2.4.    Temporary Securities.    

        (a)   Pending

are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with such
appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced, by their execution of such Securities. 

        (b)   If
temporary Securities are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive
Securities, the temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities upon surrender of the temporary Securities at the office or agency of the Company designated for that purpose
without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor one
or more definitive Securities of any authorized denominations having the same Original Issue Date and Stated Maturity and having the same terms as such temporary Securities. Until so exchanged, the
temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities.

ARTICLE III
  
    The Securities    
    

        SECTION
3.1.    Payment of Principal and Interest.    

        (a)   The
unpaid principal amount of the Securities shall bear interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 3.05% per annum until paid or duly provided for, such interest to accrue from
the Original Issue Date or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, and any overdue principal, premium or Additional Tax Sums and any overdue
installment of interest shall bear Additional Interest at the rate equal to LIBOR plus 3.05% per annum from the dates such amounts are due until they are paid or funds for the payment thereof are made
available for payment. 

        (b)   Interest
and Additional Interest on any Security that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person
in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, except that interest and any Additional
Interest payable on the Stated Maturity (or any date of principal repayment upon early maturity) of the principal of a Security or on a Redemption Date shall be paid to the Person to whom principal is
paid. The initial payment of interest on any Security that is issued between a Regular Record Date and the related Interest Payment Date shall be payable as provided in such Security. 

        (c)   Any
interest on any Security that is due and payable, but is not timely paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for Securities (herein called
"Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such
Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in paragraph (i) or (ii) below: 

        (i)    The
Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered
at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest (a "Special Record Date"), which shall be fixed in the
following manner. At least thirty (30) days prior to the date of the proposed payment, the Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on
each Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of
such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit
of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be not more than fifteen
(15) days and not less than ten (10) days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than ten (10) days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed
payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted
Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first class, postage prepaid, to each Holder of a Security at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Securities Register not less
than ten (10) days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted
Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered on such Special Record Date; or 

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

20

 

Securities
are not listed), if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 

        (d)   Payments
of interest on the Securities shall include interest accrued to but excluding the respective Interest Payment Dates. Interest payments for the Securities shall
be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in the relevant interest period. 

        (e)   Payment
of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities shall be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment
is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest due at the Maturity of such Securities shall be made at the Place of Payment upon
surrender of such Securities to the Paying Agent and payments of interest shall be made subject to such surrender where applicable, by wire transfer at such place and to such account at a banking
institution in the United States as may be designated in writing to the Paying Agent at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date for payment by the Person entitled thereto unless proper
written transfer instructions have not been received by the relevant record date, in which case such payments shall be made by check mailed to the address of such Person as such address shall appear
in the Security Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the holder of this Security is the Property Trustee, the payment of the principal of (and premium if any) and interest (including
any overdue installment of interest and Additional Tax Sums, if any) on this Security will be made at such place and to such account as may be designated by the Property Trustee. 

        (f)    Subject
to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.1, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon
transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, that were carried by such other Security. 

        SECTION
3.2.    Denominations.    

        The
Securities shall be in registered form without coupons and shall be issuable in minimum denominations of $100,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. 

        SECTION
3.3.    Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.    

        (a)   At
any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities in an aggregate principal amount (including all
then Outstanding Securities) not in excess of Fifteen Million Four Hundred Seventy Thousand Dollars ($15,470,000) executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company
Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. In authenticating such Securities,
and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon: 

        (i)    a
copy of any Board Resolution relating thereto; and 

        (ii)   an
Opinion of Counsel stating that such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any
conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization,
moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general equity principles. 

        (b)   The
Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its Vice Chairman of the Board, its President, its Chief Executive Officer or one
of its Vice Presidents, under its corporate seal reproduced or impressed thereon and attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the
Securities may be manual or facsimile. Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any 

21

 

of
them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities. 

        (c)   No
Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Security a certificate of
authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers, and such certificate upon any Security shall be
conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and
delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in  Section 3.8, for all purposes of this
Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall
never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. 

        (d)   Each
Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 

        SECTION
3.4.    Global Securities.    

        (a)   Upon
the election of the Holder after the Original Issue Date, which election need not be in writing, the Securities owned by such Holder shall be issued in the form of
one or more Global Securities registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee. Each Global Security issued under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary designated by
the Company for such Global Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security
for all purposes of this Indenture. 

        (b)   Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities registered, and no transfer of a Global
Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof unless (i) such Depositary advises the Trustee
and the Company in writing that such Depositary is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depositary with respect to such Global Security, and no qualified successor
is appointed by the Company within ninety (90) days of receipt by the Company of such notice, (ii) such Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and no
successor is appointed by the Company within ninety (90) days after obtaining knowledge of such event, (iii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order stating that
the Company elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depositary or (iv) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Upon the occurrence of any event
specified in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, the Trustee shall notify the Depositary and instruct the Depositary to notify all owners of beneficial interests in such Global
Security of the occurrence of such event and of the availability of Securities to such owners of beneficial interests requesting the same. Upon the issuance of such Securities and the registration in
the Securities Register of such Securities in the names of the Holders of the beneficial interests therein, the Trustees shall recognize such holders of beneficial interests as Holders. 

        (c)   If
any Global Security is to be exchanged for other Securities or canceled in part, or if another Security is to be exchanged in whole or in part for a beneficial
interest in any Global Security, then either (i) such Global Security shall be so surrendered for exchange or cancellation as provided in this  Article III or (ii) the principal amount
thereof shall be reduced or increased by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so
exchanged or canceled, or equal to the principal amount of such other Security to be so exchanged for a beneficial interest therein, as the case may be, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on
the records of the Securities Registrar, whereupon the Trustee, in accordance with the Applicable Depository Procedures, shall instruct the Depositary or its authorized representative to make a
corresponding adjustment to its records. Upon any such surrender or adjustment of a Global Security by the Depositary, accompanied by registration instructions, the Company shall execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver any Securities issuable in 

22

 

exchange
for such Global Security (or any portion thereof) in accordance with the instructions of the Depositary. The Trustee shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may
conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, such instructions. 

        (d)   Every
Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be
authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security, unless such Security is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee
thereof. 

        (e)   Securities
distributed to holders of Book-Entry Preferred Securities (as defined in the applicable Trust Agreement) upon the dissolution of the Trust shall
be distributed in the form of one or more Global Securities registered in the name of a Depositary or its nominee, and deposited with the Securities Registrar, as custodian for such Depositary, or
with such Depositary, for credit by the Depositary to the respective accounts of the beneficial owners of the Securities represented thereby (or such other accounts as they may direct). Securities
distributed to holders of Preferred Securities other than Book-Entry Preferred Securities upon the dissolution of the Trust shall not be issued in the form of a Global Security or any
other form intended to facilitate book-entry trading in beneficial interests in such Securities. 

        (f)    The
Depositary or its nominee, as the registered owner of a Global Security, shall be the Holder of such Global Security for all purposes under this Indenture and the
Securities, and owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security shall hold such interests pursuant to the Applicable Depository Procedures. Accordingly, any such owner's beneficial interest in a
Global Security shall be shown only on, and the transfer of such interest shall be effected only through, records maintained by the Depositary or its nominee or its Depositary Participants. The
Securities Registrar and the Trustee shall be entitled to deal with the Depositary for all purposes of this Indenture relating to a Global Security (including the payment of principal and interest
thereon and the giving of instructions or directions by owners of beneficial interests therein and the giving of notices) as the sole Holder of the Security and shall have no obligations to the owners
of beneficial interests therein. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Registrar shall have any liability in respect of any transfers effected by the Depositary. 

        (g)   The
rights of owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security shall be exercised only through the Depositary and shall be limited to those established by law and
agreements between such owners and the Depositary and/or its Depositary Participants. 

        (h)   No
holder of any beneficial interest in any Global Security held on its behalf by a Depositary shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to such Global
Security, and such Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. None of the
Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership
interests of a Global Security or maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the
Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by a Depositary or impair, as between a
Depositary and such holders of beneficial interests, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of the Depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of any Security. 

        SECTION
3.5.    Registration, Transfer and Exchange Generally.    

        (a)   The
Trustee shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the "Securities Register") in which the
registrar and transfer agent with respect to the Securities (the "Securities Registrar"), subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe,
shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers and exchanges of Securities. The Trustee shall at all times also be the 

23

 

Securities
Registrar. The provisions of Article VI shall apply to the Trustee in its role as Securities Registrar. 

        (b)   Upon
surrender for registration of transfer of any Security at the offices or agencies of the Company designated for that purpose the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of any authorized denominations of like tenor and aggregate principal
amount. 

        (c)   At
the option of the Holder, Securities may be exchanged for other Securities of any authorized denominations, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon
surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, the Securities that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 

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

        (e)   Every
Security presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Securities Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing. 

24

  

        (f)    No
service charge shall be made to a Holder for any transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Securities. 

        (g)   Neither
the Company nor the Trustee shall be required pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.5(g) to issue,
register the transfer of or exchange any Security during a period beginning at the opening of business fifteen (15) days before the day of selection for redemption of Securities pursuant to  Article XI and ending at the close of business on the day of mailing of the notice of redemption or (ii) to register the transfer of or
exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any such Security to be redeemed in part, any portion thereof not to be redeemed. 

        (h)   The
Company shall designate an office or offices of agency or agencies where Securities may be surrendered for registration or transfer or exchange. The Company
initially designates the Corporate Trust Office as its office and agency for such purposes. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee and to the Holders of any change in the location
of any such office or agency. 

        SECTION
3.6.    Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.    

        (a)   If
any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee together with such security or indemnity as may be required by the Company or the Trustee to save each of them
harmless, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of like tenor and aggregate principal amount and bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding. 

        (b)   If
there shall be delivered to the Company and to the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and
(ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a  bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its written request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed,
lost or stolen Security, a new Security of like tenor and aggregate principal amount as such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 

        (c)   If
any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new
Security, pay such Security. 

        (d)   Upon
the issuance of any new Security under this Section 3.6, the Company may require the payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 

        (e)   Every
new Security issued pursuant to this Section 3.6 in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and
shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities duly issued hereunder. 

        (f)    The
provisions of this Section 3.6 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and
remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities. 

25

 

        SECTION
3.7.    Persons Deemed Owners.    

        The
Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall treat the Person in whose name any Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of
receiving payment of principal of and any interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be
affected by notice to the contrary. 

        SECTION
3.8.    Cancellation.    

        All
Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee, and any such Securities
and Securities surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such purpose shall be promptly canceled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously
authenticated and delivered hereunder that the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be
authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section 3.8, except as expressly permitted by this
Indenture. All canceled Securities shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its customary practices and the Trustee shall deliver to the Company a certificate of such disposition. 

        SECTION
3.9.    Deferrals of Interest Payment Dates.    

        (a)   So
long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall have the right, at any time and from time to time during the term of the Security, to
defer the payment of interest on the Securities for a period of up to twenty (20) consecutive quarterly interest payment periods (each such period, an "Extension
Period"), during which Extension Period(s), the Company shall have the right to make no payments or partial payments of interest on any Interest Payment Date (except any
Additional Tax Sums that otherwise may be due and payable). No Extension Period shall end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date and no Extension Period shall extend beyond the Stated Maturity
of the principal of the Securities. No interest shall be due and payable during an Extension Period, except at the end thereof, but each installment of interest that would otherwise have been due and
payable during such Extension Period shall bear Additional Interest (to the extent payment of such interest would be legally enforceable) at the rate equal to LIBOR plus 3.05% per annum compounded
quarterly, from the dates on which amounts would have otherwise been due and payable until paid or until funds for the payment thereof have been made available for payment. At the end of any such
Extension Period, the Company shall pay all interest then accrued and unpaid on the Securities together with such Additional Interest. Prior to the termination of any such Extension Period, the
Company may extend such Extension Period and further defer the payment of interest; provided, that (i) all such previous and further extensions
comprising such Extension Period do not exceed twenty (20) quarterly interest payment periods, (ii) no Extension Period shall end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date and
(iii) no Extension Period shall extend beyond the Stated Maturity of the principal of the Securities. Upon the termination of any such Extension Period and upon the payment of all accrued and
unpaid interest and any Additional Interest then due on any Interest Payment Date, the Company may elect to begin a new Extension Period; provided, that
(i) such Extension Period does not exceed twenty (20) quarterly interest payment periods, (ii) no Extension Period shall end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date and
(iii) no Extension Period shall extend beyond the Stated Maturity of the principal of the Securities. The Company shall give the Holders of the Securities and the Trustee written notice of its
election to begin any such Extension Period at least one Business Day prior to the next succeeding Interest Payment Date on which interest on the Securities would be payable but for such deferral or,
so long as any Securities are held by the Trust, at least one Business Day prior to the earlier of (i) the next succeeding date on which Distributions on the Preferred Securities of such Trust
would be payable but for such deferral and (ii) the date on which the Property Trustee of such Trust is required to give notice to 

26

 

any
securities exchange or other applicable self-regulatory organization or to holders of such Preferred Securities of the record date for the payment of such Distributions. 

        (b)   In
connection with any such Extension Period, the Company shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in  Section 10.6(a). 

        SECTION
3.10.    Right of Set-Off.    

        Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall have the right to set off any payment it is otherwise requited to make in respect of any Security to the extent the
Company has
theretofore made, or is concurrently on the date of such payment making, a payment under the Guarantee Agreement relating to such Security or to a holder of Preferred Securities pursuant to an action
undertaken under Section 5.8 of this Indenture. 

        SECTION
3.11.    Agreed Tax Treatment.    

        Each
Security issued hereunder shall provide that the Company and, by its acceptance or acquisition of a Security or a beneficial interest therein, the Holder of, and any Person that
acquires a direct or indirect beneficial interest in, such Security, intend and agree to treat such Security as indebtedness of the Company for United States Federal, state and local tax purposes and
to treat the Preferred Securities (including but not limited to all payments and proceeds with respect to the Preferred Securities) as an undivided beneficial ownership interest in the Securities (and
payments and proceeds therefrom, respectively) for United States Federal, state and local tax purposes. The provisions of this Indenture shall be interpreted to further this intention and agreement of
the parties. 

        SECTION
3.12.    CUSIP Numbers.    

        The
Company in issuing the Securities may use "CUSIP" numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use "CUSIP" numbers in notices of redemption and other similar or
related materials as a convenience to Holders; provided, that any such notice or other materials may state that no representation is made as to the
correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption or other materials and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers
printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.

the Company, in the case of subclause (ii)(A), (B) or (C) above, has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for such purpose (x) an
amount in the currency or currencies in which the Securities are payable, (y) Government Obligations which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in
accordance with their terms will provide, not later than the due date of any payment, money in an amount or (z) a combination thereof, in each case sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally

delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal and any premium and interest (including any Additional Interest) to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities that have become due
and payable) or to the Stated Maturity (or any date of principal repayment upon early maturity) or Redemption Date, as the case may be; 

        (b)   the

obligations of the Company to any Authenticating Agent under Section 6.11 and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to
subclause (a)(ii) of this Section 4.1, the obligations of the Trustee under  Section 4.2 and Section 10.2(e)
 shall survive. 

        SECTION
4.2.    Application of Trust Money.    

        Subject
to the provisions Section 10.2(e), all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to  Section 4.1 shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee,
 in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this Indenture, to the
payment in accordance with Section 3.1, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the
Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal and any premium and interest (including any Additional Interest) for the payment of which such money or obligations have been
deposited with or received by the Trustee. Moneys held by the Trustee under this Section 4.2 shall not be subject to the claims of holders of
Senior Debt under Article XII.

written notice to the Property Trustee, the Company and the Trustee, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in paragraph (b) of this  Section 5.2. No such rescission shall

for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities
and

the Holders of Securities by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant
or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

hereunder in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized 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

delay or omission of the Trustee, any Holder of any Securities or any holder of any Preferred Security to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair

parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his or her acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any
suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit
of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, against any party litigant in
such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this  Section 5.14 shall not apply to any suit instituted by
the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the
aggregate more than ten percent (10%) in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or any

it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the

any state thereof, authorized to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state authority and

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

an Event of Default known to the Trustee has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall, prior to the receipt of directions, if any, from the Holders of at least a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise,
as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs.

the foregoing, no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity
against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or
affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 6.2. To the extent that, at law or in equity, the Trustee

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

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 at least
a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee under this Indenture;
and 

        (iii)  the
Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed with the Company and money held by the Trustee in
trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

been cured or waived; provided, that except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of premium or interest on any Securities, the

of the character specified in Section 5.1(c), no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least thirty (30) days after the

fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney;

case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or lease, such changes in phraseology and form may be made in the Securities thereafter to be issued as may
be appropriate to reflect such occurrence.

ARTICLE X    
    
    Covenants    
    

        SECTION
10.1.    Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest.    

        The
Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of and any premium and interest (including any Additional Interest)
on the Securities in accordance with the terms of the Securities and this Indenture. 

        SECTION
10.2.    Money for Security Payments to be Held in Trust.    

        (a)   If
the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to the Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of and any premium or
interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal and any premium or
interest (including Additional Interest) so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of
its failure so to act. 

        (b)   Whenever
the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents, it will, prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on each due date of the principal of or any premium
or interest (including any Additional Interest) on any Securities, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held as provided in the Trust Indenture Act and
(unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its failure so to act. 

        (c)   The
Company will cause each Paying Agent for the Securities other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall
agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 10.2, that such Paying Agent will (i) comply with the provisions of the
Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent and (ii) during the continuance of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities) in the making of any payment in
respect of the Securities, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in respect of the Securities. 

        (d)   The
Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any
Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the
Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. 

        (e)   Any
money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company in trust for the payment of the principal of and any premium or interest (including
any Additional Interest) on any Security and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal and any premium or interest has become due and payable shall (unless otherwise required by mandatory
provision of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property law) be paid on Company Request to the Company, or (if then held by the Company) shall (unless otherwise required by mandatory
provision of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property law) be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to
the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease;  provided, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be
published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, notice that
such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified 

46

 

therein,
which shall not be less than thirty (30) days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. 

        SECTION
10.3.    Statement as to Compliance.    

        The
Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof, an Officers'
Certificate covering the preceding calendar year, stating whether or not to the knowledge of the signers thereof the Company is in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms,
provisions and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder), and if the Company shall be in default, specifying all such defaults
and the nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge. 

        SECTION
10.4.    Calculation Agent.    

        (a)   The
Company hereby agrees that for so long as any of the Securities remain Outstanding, there will at all times be an agent appointed to calculate LIBOR in respect of
each Interest Payment Date in accordance with the terms of Schedule A (the "Calculation Agent").
The Company has initially appointed the Trustee as Calculation Agent for purposes of determining LIBOR for each Interest Payment Date. The Calculation Agent may be removed by the Company at any time.
So long as the Property Trustee holds any of the Securities, the Calculation Agent shall be the Property Trustee. If the Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to act as such or is removed by the
Company, the Company will promptly appoint as a replacement Calculation Agent the London office of a leading bank which is engaged in transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the international
Eurodollar market and which does not control or is not controlled by or under common control with the Company or its Affiliates. The Calculation Agent may not resign its duties without a successor
having been duly appointed. 

        (b)   The
Calculation Agent shall be required to agree that, as soon as possible after 11:00 a.m. (London time) on each LIBOR Determination Date (as defined in  Schedule A), but in no event later than
11:00 a.m. (London time) on the Business Day immediately following each LIBOR Determination Date,
the Calculation Agent will calculate the interest rate (the Interest Payment shall be rounded to the nearest cent, with half a cent being rounded upwards) for the related Interest Payment Date, and
will communicate such rate and amount to the Company, the Trustee, each Paying Agent and the Depositary. The Calculation Agent will also specify to the Company the quotations upon which the foregoing
rates and amounts are based and, in any event, the Calculation Agent shall notify the Company before 5:00 p.m. (London time) on each LIBOR Determination Date that either: (i) it has
determined or is in the process of determining the foregoing rates and amounts or (ii) it has not determined and is not in the process of determining the foregoing rates and amounts, together
with its reasons therefor. The Calculation Agent's determination of the foregoing rates and amounts for any Interest Payment Date will (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding upon all
parties. For the sole purpose of calculating the interest rate for the Securities, "Business Day" shall be defined as any day on which dealings in deposits in Dollars are transacted in the London
interbank market. 

        SECTION
10.5.    Additional Tax Sums.    

        So
long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if (a) the Trust is the Holder of all of the Outstanding Securities and (b) a Tax Event described in
clause (i) or (iii) in the definition of Tax Event in Section 1.1 hereof has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall pay to
the Trust (and its permitted successors or assigns under the related Trust Agreement) for so long as the Trust (or its permitted successor or assignee) is the registered holder of the Outstanding
Securities, such amounts as may be necessary in order that the amount of Distributions (including any Additional Interest Amount (as defined in the Trust Agreement)) then due and payable by the Trust
on the Preferred Securities and Common Securities that at any time remain outstanding in accordance with the terms thereof shall not be reduced as a result of any Additional Taxes arising from such
Tax Event (additional such amounts 

47

 

payable
by the Company to the Trust, the "Additional Tax Sums"). Whenever in this Indenture or the Securities there is a reference in any context to the
payment of principal of or interest on the Securities, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payments of the Additional Tax Sums provided for in this  Section 10.5 to the extent
that, in such context, Additional Tax Sums are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions
of this Section 10.5 and express mention of the payment of Additional Tax Sums (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as
excluding Additional Tax Sums in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made; provided, that the deferral of the payment of interest
pursuant to Section 3.9 on the Securities shall not defer the payment of any Additional Tax Sums that may be due and payable. 

        SECTION
10.6.    Additional Covenants.    

        (a)   The
Company covenants and agrees with each Holder of Securities that if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or the Company shall have given notice
of its election to begin an Extension Period with respect to the Securities and shall not have rescinded such notice, or such Extension Period, or any extension thereof, shall be continuing, it shall
not (i) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on. or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any shares of the Company's capital stock, or
(ii) make any payment of principal of or any interest or premium on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities of the Company that rank pari
passu in all respects with or junior in interest to the Securities (other than (A) repurchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of shares of capital stock of the
Company in connection with any employment contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of any one or more employees, officers, directors or consultants, in connection
with a dividend reinvestment or stockholder stock purchase plan or in connection with the issuance of capital stock of the Company (or securities convertible into or exercisable for such capital
stock) as consideration in an acquisition transaction entered into prior to the applicable Extension Period, (B) as a result of an exchange or conversion of any class or series of the Company's
capital stock (or any capital stock of a Subsidiary of the Company) for any class or series of the Company's capital stock or of any class or series of the Company's indebtedness for any class or
series of the Company's capital stock, (C) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of the Company's capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such capital stock
or the security being converted or exchanged, (D) any declaration of a dividend in connection with any Rights Plan, the issuance of rights, stock or other property under any Rights Plan or the
redemption or repurchase of rights pursuant thereto, or (E) any dividend in the form of stock, warrants, options or other rights where the dividend stock or the stock issuable upon exercise of
such warrants, options or other rights is the same stock as that on which the dividend is being paid or ranks pari passu with or junior to such stock). 

        (b)   The
Company also covenants with each Holder of Securities (i) to hold, directly or indirectly, one hundred percent (100%) of the Common Securities of the Trust,  provided, that any permitted successor
of the Company hereunder may succeed to the Company's ownership of such Common Securities, (ii) as holder
of such Common Securities, not to voluntarily dissolve, wind-up or liquidate the Trust other than (A) in connection with a distribution of the Securities to the holders of the
Preferred Securities in liquidation of the Trust or (B) in connection with certain mergers, consolidations or amalgamations permitted by the Trust Agreement and (iii) to use its
reasonable commercial efforts, consistent with the terms and provisions of the Trust Agreement, to cause the Trust to continue to be taxable as a grantor trust and not as a corporation for United
States Federal income tax purposes. 

48

  

        SECTION 10.7.    Waiver of Covenants.    

        The
Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any covenant or condition contained in Section 10.6 if, before or
after the time for such compliance, the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall, by Act of such Holders, and at least a majority of the
aggregate Liquidation Amount (as defined in the Trust Agreement) of the Preferred Securities then outstanding, by consent of such holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally
waive compliance with such covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become
effective, the obligations of the Company in respect of any such covenant or condition shall remain in full force and effect. 

        SECTION
10.8.    Treatment of Securities.    

        The
Company will treat the Securities as indebtedness, and the amounts, other than payments of principal, payable in respect of the principal amount of such Securities as interest, for
all United States Federal income tax purposes. All payments in respect of the Securities will be made free and clear of U.S. withholding tax to any beneficial owner thereof that has provided an
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any substitute or successor form) establishing its non-U.S. status for United States Federal income tax purposes.

        SECTION
11.1    Optional Redemption.    

        The
Company may, at its option, on any Interest Payment Date, on or after September 30, 2008, redeem the Securities in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a
Redemption Price equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount thereof (or of the redeemed portion thereof, as applicable), together, in the case of any such redemption, with accrued
interest, including any Additional Interest, to but excluding the date fixed for redemption; provided, that the Company shall have received the prior
approval of the Federal Reserve with respect to such redemption if then required. 

        SECTION
11.2.    Special Event Redemption.    

        Upon
the occurrence and during the continuation of a Special Event, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Securities, in whole but not in part, at a Redemption Price equal to one

        SECTION
11.3.    Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.    

        The
election of the Company to redeem any Securities, in whole or in part, shall be evidenced by or pursuant to a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the
Company, the Company shall, not less than forty five (45) days and not more than seventy five (75) days prior to the Redemption Date (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the
Trustee), notify the Trustee and the Property Trustee under the Trust Agreement in writing of such date and of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed and provide the additional
information required to be included in the notice or notices contemplated by Section 11.5. In the case of any redemption of Securities, in whole
or in part, (a) prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in this Indenture or the Securities or (b) pursuant to an election of the Company which is subject
to a condition specified 

49

 

in
this Indenture or the Securities, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel evidencing compliance with such restriction or condition. 

        SECTION
11.4.    Selection of Securities to be Redeemed.    

        (a)   If
less than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than sixty (60) days prior to the
Redemption Date by the Trustee from the Outstanding Securities not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the
selection for redemption of a portion of the principal amount of any or each Security, provided, that the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of
any Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security. 

        (b)   The
Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption,
the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the
case of any Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Security that has been or is to be redeemed. 

        (c)   The
provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 11.4 shall not apply with respect to any
redemption affecting only a single Security, whether such Security is to be redeemed in whole or in part. In the case of any such redemption in part, the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of
the Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less man the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security. 

        SECTION
11.5.    Notice of Redemption.    

        (a)   Notice
of redemption shall be given not later than the thirtieth (30th) day, and not earlier than the sixtieth (60th) day, prior to the
Redemption Date to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, in whole or in part, (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Property Trustee under the related Trust Agreement). 

        (b)   With
respect to Securities to be redeemed, in whole or in part, each notice 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, as
calculated by the Company, together with a statement that it is an estimate and that the actual Redemption Price will be calculated on the fifth 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 such Redemption Price is calculated); 

        (iii)  if
less than all Outstanding Securities are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the respective principal amounts) of the
particular Securities to be redeemed; 

        (iv)  that
on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security or portion thereof, and that any interest (including any
Additional Interest) on such Security or such portion, as the case may be, shall cease to accrue on and after said date; and 

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

50

 

        (c)   With
respect to any redemption of Securities, in whole or in part, at the election of the Company, such notice may state that such redemption shall be conditional upon
the receipt by the Trustee or the Paying Agent for such Securities, on or prior to the date fixed for such redemption, of money sufficient to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on such
Securities (or, as applicable, on the portion to be redeemed) and that if such money shall not have been so received such notice shall be of no force or effect and the Company shall not be required to
redeem such Securities (or portion thereof). In the event such notice of redemption contains such a condition and such money is not so received, the redemptions shall not be made and within a
reasonable time thereafter notice shall be given, in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given, that such money was not so received and such redemption was not required to be made,
and the Trustee or Paying Agent for the Securities otherwise to have been redeemed, in whole or in part, shall promptly return to the Holders thereof any of such Securities that had been surrendered
for payment upon such redemption. 

        (d)   Notice
of redemption of Securities to be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company's request, by the
Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company and, subject to paragraph (c) of this Section 11.5, shall be irrevocable. The notice if mailed in the manner provided above shall be
conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, a failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any
Security designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Security. 

        SECTION
11.6.    Deposit of Redemption Price.    

        Prior
to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Redemption Date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in  Section 11.5, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more
Paying Agents (or if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent,
the Company will segregate and hold in
trust as provided in Section 10.2) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and any accrued interest (including any
Additional Interest) on, all the Securities (or portions thereof) that are to be redeemed on that date. 

        SECTION
11.7.    Payment of Securities Called for Redemption.    

        (a)   If
any notice of redemption has been given as provided in Section 11.5, the Securities or portion of Securities
with respect to which such notice has been given shall become due and payable on the date and at the place or places stated in such notice at the applicable Redemption Price, together with accrued
interest (including any Additional Interest) to the Redemption Date. On presentation and surrender of such Securities at a Place of Payment specified in such notice, the Securities or the specified
portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable Redemption Price, together with accrued interest (including any Additional Interest) to the Redemption Date. 

        (b)   Upon
presentation of any Security redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder thereof, at the expense
of the Company, a new Security or Securities, of authorized denominations, in aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security so presented and having the same Original Issue
Date, Stated Maturity and terms. 

        (c)   If
any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal of and any premium on such Security shall, until paid,
bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security.

ARTICLE XII    
    
    Subordination of Securities    
    

        SECTION
12.1.    Securities Subordinate to Senior Debt.    

        The
Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of a Security, by its acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in
this Article XII, the payment of the principal of and any premium and interest (including any Additional Interest) on each and all of the
Securities are hereby expressly made subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt. 

        SECTION
12.2.    No Payment When Senior Debt in Default; Payment Over of Proceeds Upon Dissolution, Etc.    

        (a)   In
the event and during the continuation of any default by the Company in the payment of any principal of or any premium or interest on any Senior Debt (following any
grace period, if applicable) when the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or at a date fixed for prepayment or by declaration of acceleration or otherwise, then, upon written notice of
such default to the Company by the holders of such Senior Debt or any trustee therefor, unless and until such default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist, no direct or
indirect payment (in cash, property, securities, by set-off or otherwise) shall be made or agreed to be made on account of the principal of or any premium or interest (including any
Additional Interest) on any of the Securities, or in respect of any redemption, repayment, retirement, purchase or other acquisition of any of the Securities. 

        (b)   In
the event of a bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceeding described in clause (d) or (e) of the definition of Event of Default (each such event, if any,
herein sometimes referred to as a "Proceeding"), all Senior Debt (including any interest thereon accruing after the commencement of any such
proceedings) shall first be paid in full before any payment or distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any Holder of any of the Securities on account thereof. Any
payment or distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property (other than securities of the Company or any other entity provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment the payment of
which is subordinate, at least to the extent provided in these subordination provisions with respect to the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities, to the payment of all Senior Debt at the time
outstanding and to any securities issued in respect thereof under any such plan of reorganization or readjustment), which would otherwise (but for these subordination provisions) be payable or
deliverable in respect of the Securities shall be paid or delivered directly to the holders of Senior Debt in accordance with the priorities then existing among such holders until all Senior Debt
(including any interest thereon accruing after the commencement of any Proceeding) shall have been paid in full. 

        (c)   In
the event of any Proceeding, after payment in full of all sums owing with respect to Senior Debt, the Holders of the Securities, together with the holders of any
obligations of the Company ranking on a parity with the Securities, shall be entitled to be paid from the remaining assets of the Company the amounts at the time due and owing on account of unpaid
principal of and any premium and interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities and such other obligations before any payment or other distribution, whether in cash, property or
otherwise, shall be made on account of any capital stock or any obligations of the Company ranking junior to the Securities and such other obligations. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment
or distribution of any character or any security, whether in cash, securities or other property (other than securities of the Company or any other entity provided for by a plan of reorganization or
readjustment the payment of which is subordinate, at least to the extent provided in these subordination provisions with respect to the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities, to the payment of all
Senior Debt at the time outstanding and to any securities issued in respect thereof under any such plan of reorganization or readjustment) 

52

 

shall
be received by the Trustee or any Holder in contravention of any of the terms hereof and before all Senior Debt shall have been paid in full, such payment or distribution or security shall be
received in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered and transferred to, the holders of the Senior Debt at the time outstanding in accordance with the priorities then existing
among such holders for application to the payment of all Senior Debt remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all such Senior Debt (including any interest thereon accruing after the
commencement of any Proceeding) in full. In the event of the failure of the Trustee or any Holder to endorse or assign any such payment, distribution or security, each holder of Senior Debt is hereby
irrevocably authorized to endorse or assign the same. 

        (d)   The
Trustee and the Holders, at the expense of the Company, shall take such reasonable action (including the delivery of this Indenture to an agent for any holders of
Senior Debt or consent to the filing of a financing statement with respect hereto) as may, in the opinion of counsel designated by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Senior Debt at
the time outstanding, be necessary or appropriate to assure the effectiveness of the subordination effected by these provisions. 

        (e)   The
provisions of this Section 12.2 shall not impair any rights, interests, remedies or powers of any secured
creditor of the Company in respect of any security interest the creation of which is not prohibited by the provisions of this Indenture. 

        (f)    The
securing of any obligations of the Company, otherwise ranking on a parity with the Securities or ranking junior to the Securities, shall not be deemed to prevent
such obligations from constituting, respectively, obligations ranking on a parity with the Securities or ranking junior to the Securities. 

        SECTION
12.3.    Payment Permitted If No Default.    

        Nothing
contained in this Article XII or elsewhere in this Indenture or in any of the Securities shall prevent (a) the
Company, at any time, except during the pendency of the conditions described in paragraph (a) of Section 12.2 or of any Proceeding
referred to in Section 12.2, from making payments at any time of principal of and any premium or interest (including any Additional Interest) on
the Securities or (b) the application by the Trustee of any moneys deposited with it hereunder to the payment of or on account of the principal of and any premium or interest (including any
Additional Interest) on the Securities or the retention of such payment by the Holders, if, at the time of such application by the Trustee, it did not have knowledge (in accordance with  Section 12.8) that such payment would have been prohibited by the provisions of this  Article XII, except as provided in Section 12.8. 

        SECTION
12.4.    Subrogation to Rights of Holders of Senior Debt.    

        Subject
to the payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on all Senior Debt, or the provision for such payment in cash or cash equivalents or otherwise in a manner satisfactory
to the holders of Senior Debt, the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated to the extent of the payments or distributions made to the holders of such Senior Debt pursuant to the provisions of
this Article XII (equally and ratably with the holders of all indebtedness of the Company that by its express terms is subordinated to Senior
Debt of the Company to substantially the same extent as the Securities are subordinated to the Senior Debt and is entitled to like rights of subrogation by reason of any payments or distributions made
to holders of such Senior Debt) to the rights of the holders of such Senior Debt to receive payments and distributions of cash, property and securities applicable to the Senior Debt until the
principal of and any premium and interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities shall be paid in full. For purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of
the Senior Debt of any cash, property or securities to which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this  Article XII, and no payments made
pursuant to the provisions of this Article XII to the
holders of Senior Debt by Holders of the Securities 

53

 

or
the Trustee, shall, as among the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Debt, and the Holders of the Securities, be deemed to be a payment or distribution by the Company to or on
account of the Senior Debt. 

        SECTION
12.5.    Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights.    

        The
provisions of this Article XII are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders of
the Securities on the one hand and the holders of Senior Debt on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Article XII or elsewhere in this
Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall (a) impair, as between the Company and the Holders of the Securities, the obligations of the Company, which are absolute and
unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of and any premium and interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities as and when the same shall become due and
payable in accordance with their terms,
(b) affect the relative rights against the Company of the Holders of the Securities and creditors of the Company other than their rights in relation to the holders of Senior Debt or
(c) prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security (or to the extent expressly provided herein, the holder of any Preferred Security) from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by
applicable law upon default under this Indenture, including filing and voting claims in any Proceeding, subject to the rights, if any. under this  Article XII of the holders of Senior Debt to
receive cash, property and securities otherwise payable or deliverable to the Trustee or such
Holder. 

        SECTION
12.6.    Trustee to Effectuate Subordination.    

        Each
Holder of a Security by his or her acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on his or her behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge
or effectuate the subordination provided in this Article XII and appoints the Trustee his or her attorney-in-fact for any
and all such purposes. 

        SECTION
12.7.    No Waiver of Subordination Provisions.    

        (a)   No
right of any present or future holder of any Senior Debt to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act
or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this
Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof that any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with. 

        (b)   Without
in any way limiting the generality of paragraph (a) of this Section 12.7, the holders of Senior
Debt may, at any time and from to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities, without incurring responsibility to such Holders of the Securities and without
impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article XII or the obligations hereunder of such Holders of the Securities to the
holders of Senior Debt, do any one or more of the following: (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Debt, or otherwise
amend or supplement in any manner Senior Debt or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which Senior Debt is outstanding, (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with
any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior Debt, (iii) release any Person liable in any manner for the payment of Senior Debt and (iv) exercise or refrain from
exercising any rights against the Company and any other Person. 

        SECTION
12.8.    Notice to Trustee.    

        (a)   The
Company shall give prompt written notice to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of any fact known to the Company that would prohibit the making of any payment to or
by the Trustee in respect of the Securities. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article XII or any other provision of this Indenture, the
Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities, unless and until a 

54

 

Responsible
Officer of the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the Company or a holder of Senior Debt or from any trustee, agent or representative therefor;  provided, that if the Trustee shall
not have received the notice provided for in this  Section 12.8 at least two Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any monies may become payable for any purpose
(including, the payment of the principal of and any premium on or interest (including any Additional Interest) on any Security), then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such monies and to apply the same to the purpose for which they were received and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary that may be
received by it within two Business Days prior to such date. 

        (b)   The
Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing himself or herself to be a holder of Senior Debt (or a trustee,
agent, representative or attorney-in-fact therefor) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of Senior Debt (or a trustee, agent, representative or
attorney-in-fact therefor). In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of
Senior Debt to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article XII, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence
to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Debt held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any
other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article XII, and if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any
payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment. 

        SECTION
12.9.    Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating Agent.    

        Upon
any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article XII. the Trustee and the Holders of the
Securities shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any order or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such Proceeding is pending, or a certificate of the trustee in
bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of
Securities, for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of the Senior Debt and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount
thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article XII. 

        SECTION
12.10.    Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Debt.    

        The
Trustee, in its capacity as trustee under this Indenture, shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt and shall not be liable to any such holders if
it shall in good faith mistakenly pay over or distribute to Holders of Securities or to the Company or to any other Person cash, property or securities to which any holders of Senior Debt shall be
entitled by virtue of this Article XII or otherwise. 

        SECTION
12.11.    Rights of Trustee as Holder of Senior Debt; Preservation of Trustee's Rights.    

        The
Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article XII with respect to any Senior
Debt that may at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Debt, and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. 

        SECTION
12.12.    Article Applicable to Paying Agents.    

        If
at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term
"Trustee" as used in this Article XII shall in such case (unless the context otherwise requires)
be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in this  Article XII in 

55

 

addition
to or in place of the Trustee; provided, that Sections 12.8 and  12.11 shall not apply to the Company or
any Affiliate of the Company if the Company or such Affiliate acts as Paying Agent. 

**** 

        This
instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one
and the same instrument.

collection of interest, principal and any other payments made in respect of the Notes and the holding of such amounts in the Payment Account; 

        (D)  the
distribution through the Paying Agent of amounts distributable to the Holders in respect of the Trust Securities; 

        (E)  the
exercise of all of the rights, powers and privileges of a holder of the Notes in accordance with the terms of this Trust Agreement; 

        (F)  the
sending of notices of default and other information regarding the Trust Securities and the Notes to the Holders in accordance with this Trust Agreement; 

        (G)  the
distribution of the Trust Property in accordance with the terms of this Trust Agreement; 

        (H)  to
the extent provided in this Trust Agreement, the winding up of the affairs of and liquidation of the Trust and the preparation, execution and filing of the
certificate of cancellation of the Trust with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware; and 

        (I)   the
taking of any action incidental to the foregoing as the Property Trustee may from time to time determine is necessary or advisable to give effect to the terms of
this Trust Agreement and protect and conserve the Trust Property for the benefit of the Holders (without consideration of the effect of any such action on any particular Holder). 

        (b)   In
connection with the issue and sale of the Preferred Securities, the Depositor shall have the right and responsibility to assist the Trust with respect to, or effect
on behalf of the 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
negotiation of the terms of, and the execution and delivery of, the Purchase Agreement providing for the sale of the Preferred Securities in one or more transactions
exempt from registration under the Securities Act, and in compliance with applicable state securities or blue sky laws; and

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

10

 

        (c)   Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Trustees are authorized and directed to conduct the affairs of the Trust and authorized to operate
the Trust so that the Trust will not be taxable as a corporation or classified as other than a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes, so that the Notes will be treated as
indebtedness of the Depositor for United States federal income tax purposes and so that the Trust will not be deemed to be an "investment company" required to be registered under the Investment
Company Act. In this connection, each Administrative Trustee is authorized to take any action, not inconsistent with applicable law, the Certificate of Trust or this Trust Agreement, that such
Administrative Trustee determines in his or her 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 Outstanding Preferred Securities. In no event shall the Administrative Trustees be liable to the Trust or the Holders for any failure to comply with this  Section 2.5 to the extent
that such failure results solely from a change in law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof. 

        (d)   Any
action taken by a Trustee in accordance with its powers shall constitute the act of and serve to bind the Trust. In dealing with any Trustee acting on behalf of the
Trust, no Person shall be required to inquire into the authority of such Trustee to bind the Trust. Persons dealing with the Trust are entitled to rely conclusively on the power and authority of any
Trustee as set forth in this Trust Agreement. 

        SECTION
2.6.    Assets of Trust.

        SECTION
2.7.    Title to Trust Property.    

        (a)   Legal
title to all Trust Property shall be vested at all times in the Property Trustee and shall be held and administered by the Property Trustee in trust for the
benefit of the Trust and the Holders in accordance with this Trust Agreement. 

        (b)   The
Holders shall not have any right or title to the Trust Property other than the undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the Trust conferred by their Trust
Securities and they shall have no right to call for any partition or division of property, profits or rights of the Trust except as described below. The Trust Securities shall be personal property
giving only the rights specifically set forth therein and in this Trust Agreement.

    PAYMENT ACCOUNT; PAYING AGENTS    
    

        SECTION
3.1.    Payment Account.    

        (a)   On
or prior to the Closing Date, the Property Trustee shall establish the Payment Account. The Property Trustee and the Paying Agent shall have exclusive control and
sole right of withdrawal with respect to the Payment Account for the purpose of making deposits in and withdrawals from the Payment Account in accordance with this Trust Agreement. All monies and
other property deposited or held from time to time in the Payment Account shall be held by the Property Trustee in the Payment Account for the exclusive benefit of the Holders and for Distribution as
herein provided. 

        (b)   The
Property Trustee shall deposit in the Payment Account, promptly upon receipt, all payments of principal of or interest on, and any other payments with respect to,
the Notes. Amounts held in the Payment Account shall not be invested by the Property Trustee pending distribution thereof. 

11

  

        SECTION 3.2.    Appointment of Paying Agents.    

        The
Paying Agent shall initially be the Property Trustee. 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 solely for the purpose of making the Distributions
referred to above. The Administrative Trustees may revoke such power and remove the Paying Agent in their sole discretion. Any Person acting as Paying Agent shall be permitted to resign as Paying
Agent upon thirty (30) days' written notice to the Administrative Trustees and the Property Trustee. If the Property Trustee shall no longer be the Paying Agent or a successor Paying Agent
shall resign or its authority to act be revoked, the Administrative Trustees shall appoint a successor (which shall be a bank or trust company) to act as Paying Agent. Such successor Paying Agent
appointed by the Administrative Trustees shall execute and deliver to the Trustees an instrument in which such successor Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustees that as Paying Agent, such successor
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  Article VIII shall apply to the Property Trustee also in its role as Paying Agent, for so long as the Property Trustee 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. 

 
 

ARTICLE IV.    
    
    DISTRIBUTIONS; REDEMPTION    
    

        SECTION
4.1.    Distributions.    

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

        (i)    Distributions
on the Trust Securities shall be cumulative, and shall accumulate whether or not there are funds of the Trust available for the payment of Distributions.
Distributions shall accumulate from July 14, 2003, and, except as provided in clause (ii) below, shall be payable quarterly in arrears on March 30, June 30,
September 30 and December 30 of each year, commencing on September 30, 2003. 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 Business Day (and no interest shall accrue in respect of the amounts whose payment is so delayed for the period from and
after each such date until the next succeeding Business Day), except that, if such Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding
Business Day, in each case, with the same force and effect as if made on such date (each date on which Distributions are payable in accordance with this  Section 4.1(a)(i), a "Distribution Date"); 

        (ii)   in
the event (and to the extent) that the Depositor exercises its right under the Indenture to defer the payment of interest on the Notes, Distributions on the Trust
Securities shall be deferred. Under the Indenture, so long as no Note Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Depositor shall have the right, at any time and from time to time during the
term of the Notes, to defer the payment of interest on the Notes for a period of up to twenty (20) consecutive quarterly interest payment periods (each such extended interest payment period, 

12

 

an
"Extension Period"), during which Extension Period no interest on the Notes shall be due and payable (except any Additional Tax Sums that may be due and payable). No interest on the Notes shall be
due and payable during an Extension Period, except at the end thereof, but each installment of interest that would otherwise have been due and payable during such Extension Period shall bear
Additional Interest (to the extent payment of such interest would be legally enforceable) at the rate equal to LIBOR plus 3.05% per annum compounded quarterly, from the dates on which amounts would
have otherwise been due and payable until paid or until funds for the payment thereof have been made available for payment. If Distributions are deferred, the deferred Distributions (including
Additional Interest Amounts) shall be paid on the date that the related Extension Period terminates, to Holders of the Trust Securities as they appear on the books and records of the Trust on the
record date immediately preceding such termination date. 

        (iii)  Distributions
shall accumulate in respect of the Trust Securities at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 3.05% of the Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities, such
rate being the rate of interest payable on the Notes. LIBOR shall be determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with Schedule A. 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 and the actual number of days elapsed in the relevant
Distribution period. The amount of Distributions payable for any period shall include any Additional Interest Amounts in respect of such period; and 

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

        (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 on the relevant record date, which shall be at the close of business on the fifteenth day (whether or not a Business Day) preceding the relevant Distribution Date.
Distributions payable on any Trust Securities that are not punctually paid on any Distribution Date as a result of the Depositor having failed to make an interest payment under the Notes will cease to
be payable to the Person in whose name such Trust Securities are registered on the relevant record date, and such defaulted Distributions and any Additional Interest Amounts will instead be payable to
the Person in whose name such Trust Securities are registered on the special record date, or other specified date for determining Holders entitled to such defaulted Distribution and Additional
Interest Amount, established in the same manner, and on the same date, as such is established with respect to the Notes under the Indenture. 

        SECTION
4.2.    Redemption.    

        (a)   On
each Note Redemption Date and on the stated maturity (or any date of principal repayment upon early maturity) of the Notes and on each other date on (or in respect
of) which any principal on the Notes is repaid, the 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 thirty (30) nor more than sixty
(60) days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Trust Securities to be redeemed, at such Holder's address appearing in the Securities 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, as calculated by the Depositor, together with a statement that it is an estimate and that the actual Redemption Price will be calculated by the Calculation Agent on the
fifth Business Day 

13

 

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 such Redemption Price is calculated); 

        (iii)  if
less than all the Outstanding Trust Securities are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the respective amounts) and
Liquidation Amounts of the particular Trust Securities to be redeemed; 

        (iv)  that
on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Trust Security, or portion thereof, to be redeemed and that Distributions
thereon will cease to accumulate on such Trust Security or such portion, as the case may be, on and after said date, except as provided in  Section 4.2(d); 

        (v)   the
place or places where the Trust Securities are to be surrendered for the payment of the Redemption Price; and 

        (vi)  such
other provisions as the Property Trustee deems relevant. 

        (c)   The
Trust Securities (or portion thereof) redeemed on each Redemption Date shall be redeemed at the Redemption Price with the proceeds from the contemporaneous
redemption or payment at maturity of Notes. Redemptions of the Trust Securities (or portion thereof) shall be made and the Redemption Price shall be payable on each Redemption Date only to the extent
that the Trust has funds then on hand and available in the Payment Account for the payment of such Redemption Price. Under the Indenture, the Notes may be redeemed by the Depositor on any Interest
Payment Date, at the Depositor's option, on or after September 30, 2008, in whole or in part, from time to time at a redemption price equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount
thereof, together, in the case of any such redemption, with accrued interest, including any Additional Interest, to but excluding the date fixed for redemption (the "Indenture
Redemption Price"); provided, that the Depositor shall have received the prior approval of the Federal Reserve if then required. The Notes may also be redeemed by the
Depositor, at its option, in whole but not in part, upon the occurrence of a Capital Disqualification Event, an Investment Company Event or a Tax Event at the Indenture Redemption Price. 

        (d)   If
the Property Trustee gives a notice of redemption in respect of any Preferred Securities, then by 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Redemption Date, the
Depositor shall deposit sufficient funds with the Property Trustee to pay the Redemption Price. If such deposit has been made by such time, then by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Redemption
Date, the Property Trustee will, with respect to Book-Entry Preferred Securities, irrevocably deposit with the Depositary for such Book-Entry Preferred Securities, to the
extent available therefor, funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price and will give such Depositary irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Redemption Price to the Holders of
the Preferred Securities. With respect to Preferred Securities that are not Book-Entry Preferred Securities, the Property Trustee 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 of
the Preferred Securities upon surrender of their Preferred Securities Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Distributions payable on or prior to the Redemption Date for any Trust Securities (or
portion thereof) called for redemption shall be payable to the Holders of such Trust Securities as they appear on the Securities Register 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 holding Trust Securities (or portion thereof) so called
for redemption will cease, except the right of such Holders to receive the Redemption Price and any Distribution payable in respect of the Trust Securities on or prior to the Redemption Date, but
without interest, and, in the case of a partial redemption, the right of such Holders to receive a new Trust Security or Securities of authorized denominations, in aggregate Liquidation Amount equal
to the unredeemed portion of such Trust Security or Securities, and such Securities (or portion thereof) called 

14

 

for
redemption 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 Business Day (and no interest shall accrue in respect of the amounts whose payment is so delayed for the period from and after each such date until the next succeeding
Business Day), except that, if such Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case, with the same force and
effect as if made on such date. In the event that payment of the Redemption Price in respect of any Trust Securities (or portion thereof) called for redemption is improperly withheld or refused and
not paid either by the Trust or by the Depositor pursuant to the Guarantee Agreement, Distributions on such Trust Securities(or portion thereof) will continue to accumulate, as set forth in  Section 4.1, from the Redemption Date originally established by the Trust for such Trust Securities(or portion thereof) 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 pro rata to the Common Securities and the Preferred
Securities based upon the relative aggregate Liquidation Amounts of the Common Securities and the Preferred Securities. The Preferred Securities to be redeemed shall be redeemed on a  pro rata basis
based upon their respective Liquidation Amounts not more than sixty (60) days prior to the Redemption Date by the Property Trustee
from the Outstanding Preferred Securities not previously called for redemption; provided, however, that
with respect to Holders that would be required to hold less than one hundred (100) but more than zero (0) Trust Securities as a result of such redemption, the Trust shall redeem Trust
Securities of each such Holder so that after such redemption such Holder shall hold either one hundred (100) Trust Securities or such Holder no longer holds any Trust Securities, and shall use
such method (including, without limitation, by lot) as the Trust shall deem fair and appropriate; and provided, further, that so long as the Preferred
Securities are Book-Entry Preferred Securities, such selection shall be made in accordance with the Applicable Depositary Procedures for the Preferred Securities by such Depositary. The
Property Trustee shall promptly notify the Securities Registrar in writing of the Preferred Securities (or portion thereof) selected for redemption and, in the case of any Preferred 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 Preferred Securities shall relate, in the case of any Preferred Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of Preferred
Securities that has been or is to be redeemed. 

        (f)    The
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. 

        SECTION
4.3.    Subordination of Common Securities.    

        (a)   Payment
of Distributions (including any Additional Interest Amounts) on, the Redemption Price of and the Liquidation Distribution in respect of, the Trust Securities, as
applicable, shall be made, pro rata among the Common Securities and the Preferred Securities based on the Liquidation Amount of the respective Trust
Securities; provided, that if on any Distribution Date, Redemption Date or Liquidation Date an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
no payment of any Distribution (including any Additional Interest Amounts) on, Redemption Price of or Liquidation Distribution in respect 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 Interest
Amounts) on all 

15

 

Outstanding
Preferred 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 Preferred Securities then called for redemption, or in the case of payment of the Liquidation Distribution the full amount of such Liquidation Distribution on all Outstanding Preferred
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 Interest Amounts) on, or the Redemption Price of or the Liquidation Distribution in respect of, the Preferred Securities then due and payable. 

        (b)   In
the case of the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Holders of the Common Securities shall have no right to act with respect to any such Event of Default under
this Trust Agreement until all such Events of Default with respect to the Preferred Securities have been cured, waived or otherwise eliminated. Until all such Events of Default under this Trust
Agreement with respect to the Preferred Securities have been so cured, waived or otherwise eliminated, the Property Trustee shall act solely on behalf of the Holders of the Preferred Securities and
not on behalf of the Holders of the Common Securities, and only the Holders of all the Preferred Securities will have the right to direct the Property Trustee to act on their behalf. 

        SECTION
4.4.    Payment Procedures.    

        Payments
of Distributions (including any Additional Interest Amounts), the Redemption Price, Liquidation Amount or any other amounts in respect of the Preferred Securities shall be made
by wire transfer at such place and to such account at a banking institution in the United States as may be designated in writing at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date for payment by
the Person entitled thereto unless proper written transfer instructions have not been received by the relevant record date, in which case such payments shall be made by check mailed to the address of
such Person as such address shall appear in the Securities Register. If any Preferred Securities are held by a Depositary, such Distributions thereon shall be made to the Depositary in immediately
available funds. 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 all the Common Securities. 

        SECTION
4.5.    Withholding Tax.    

        The
Trust and the Administrative Trustees shall comply with all withholding and backup withholding tax requirements under United States federal, state and local law. The Administrative
Trustees on behalf of the Trust shall request, and the Holders shall provide to the Trust, such forms or certificates as are necessary to establish an exemption from withholding and backup withholding
tax with respect to each Holder and any representations and forms as shall reasonably be requested by the Administrative Trustees on behalf of the Trust to assist it in determining the extent of, and
in fulfilling, its withholding and backup withholding tax obligations. The Administrative Trustees shall file required forms with applicable jurisdictions and, unless an exemption from withholding and
backup withholding tax is properly established by a Holder, shall remit amounts withheld with respect to the Holder to applicable jurisdictions. To the extent that the Trust is required to withhold
and pay over any amounts to any jurisdiction with respect to Distributions or allocations to any Holder, the amount withheld shall be deemed to be a Distribution in the amount of the withholding to
the Holder. In the event of any claimed overwithholding, Holders shall be limited to an action against the applicable jurisdiction. If the amount required to be withheld was not withheld from actual
Distributions made, the Administrative Trustees on behalf of the Trust may reduce subsequent Distributions by the amount of such required withholding. 

        SECTION
4.6.    Tax Returns and Other Reports.    

        (a)   The
Administrative Trustees shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) at the principal office of the Trust in the United States, as defined for purposes of Treasury
regulations section 301.7701-7, at 

16

 

the
Depositor's expense, and file, all United States federal, state and local tax and information returns and reports required to be filed by or in respect of the Trust. The Administrative Trustees
shall prepare at the principal office of the Trust in the United States, as defined for purposes of Treasury regulations section 301.7701-7, and furnish (or cause to be prepared and
furnished), by January 31 in each taxable year of the Trust to each Holder all Internal Revenue Service forms and returns required to be provided by the Trust. The Administrative Trustees shall
provide the Depositor and the Property Trustee with a copy of all such returns and reports promptly after such filing or furnishing. 

        (b)   So
long as the Property Trustee is the Holder of the Notes, the Administrative Trustees will cause the Depositor's reports on Form FR Y-9C to be delivered to
the Property Trustee promptly following their filing with the Federal Reserve. 

        SECTION
4.7.    Payment of Taxes, Duties, Etc. of the Trust.    

        Upon
receipt under the Notes of Additional Tax Sums and upon the written direction of the Administrative Trustees, the Property Trustee shall promptly pay, solely out of monies on
deposit pursuant to this Trust Agreement, any Additional Taxes imposed on the Trust by the United States or any other taxing authority. 

        SECTION
4.8.    Payments under Indenture or Pursuant to Direct Actions.    

        Any
amount payable hereunder to any Holder of Preferred Securities shall be reduced by the amount of any corresponding payment such Holder (or any Owner with respect thereto) has
directly received pursuant to Section 5.8 of the Indenture or Section 6.10(b) of this Trust Agreement. 

        SECTION
4.9.    Exchanges.    

        (a)   If
at any time the Depositor or any of its Affiliates (in either case, a "Depositor Affiliate") is the Owner or Holder of
any Preferred Securities, such Depositor Affiliate shall have the right to deliver to the Property Trustee all or such portion of its Preferred Securities as it elects and receive, in exchange
therefor, a Like Amount of Notes. Such election (i) shall be exercisable effective on any Distribution Date by such Depositor Affiliate delivering to the Property Trustee a written notice of
such election specifying the Liquidation Amount of Preferred 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 (10) Business Days after the date of receipt by the Property Trustee of such election notice and (ii) shall be conditioned upon such
Depositor Affiliate having delivered or caused to be delivered to the Property Trustee or its designee the Preferred Securities that 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 Preferred Securities will be canceled and will no longer be deemed to be Outstanding and all rights of the
Depositor Affiliate with respect to such Preferred Securities will cease. 

        (b)   In
the case of an exchange described in Section 4.9(a), the Property Trustee on behalf of the Trust will, on the
date of such exchange, exchange Notes 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 Preferred Securities exchanged pursuant to Section 4.9(a) divided by the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the
Preferred Securities Outstanding immediately prior to such exchange, for such proportional amount of Common Securities held by the Depositor (which contemporaneously shall be canceled 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. 

17

 

        SECTION
4.10.    Calculation Agent.    

        (a)   The
Property Trustee shall initially, and for so long as it holds any of the Notes, be the Calculation Agent for purposes of determining LIBOR for each Distribution
Date. The Calculation Agent may be removed by the Administrative Trustees at any time. If the Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to act as such or is removed by the Administrative Trustees, the
Administrative Trustees will promptly appoint as a replacement Calculation Agent the London office of a leading bank which is engaged in transactions in three-month Eurodollar deposits in the
international Eurodollar market and which does not control or is not controlled by or under common control with the Administrative Trustees or their Affiliates. The Calculation Agent may not resign
its duties without a successor having been duly appointed. 

        (b)   The
Calculation Agent shall be required to agree that, as soon as possible after 11:00 a.m. (London time) on each LIBOR Determination Date, but in no event later
than 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the Business Day immediately following each LIBOR Determination Date, the Calculation Agent will calculate the interest rate (rounded to the nearest cent, with
half a cent being rounded upwards) for the related Distribution Date, and will communicate such rate and amount to the Depositor, Trustee, each Paying Agent and the Depositary. The Calculation Agent
will also specify to the Administrative Trustee the quotations upon which the foregoing rates and amounts are based and, in any event, the Calculation Agent shall notify the Administrative Trustee
before 5:00 p.m. (London time) on each LIBOR Determination Date that either: (i) it has determined or is in the process of determining the foregoing rates and amounts or (ii) it
has not determined and is not in the process of determining the foregoing rates and amounts, together with its reasons therefor. The Calculation Agent's determination of the foregoing rates and
amounts for any Distribution Date will (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding upon all parties. For the sole purpose of calculating the interest rate for the Trust Securities,
"Business Day" shall be defined as any day on which dealings in deposits in Dollars are transacted in the London interbank market. 

        SECTION
4.11.    Certain Accounting Matters.    

        (a)   At
all times during the existence of the Trust, the Administrative Trustees shall keep, or cause to be kept at the principal office of the Trust in the United States, as
defined for purposes of Treasury Regulations section 301.7701-7, full books of account, records and supporting documents, which shall reflect in reasonable detail each transaction
of the Trust. The books of account shall be maintained on the accrual method of accounting, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied. 

        (b)   The
Administrative Trustees shall either (i) if the Depositor is then subject to such reporting requirements, cause each Form 10-K and
Form 10-Q prepared by the Depositor and filed with the Commission in accordance with the Exchange Act to be delivered to each Holder, with a copy to the Property Trustee, within
thirty (30) days after the filing thereof or (ii) cause to be prepared at the principal office of the Trust in the United States, as defined for purposes of Treasury Regulations
section 301.7701-7, and delivered to each of the Holders, with a copy to the Property Trustee, within ninety (90) days after the end of each Fiscal Year, annual financial
statements of the Trust, including a balance sheet of the Trust as of the end of such Fiscal Year, and the related statements of income or loss. 

        (c)   The
Trust shall maintain one or more bank accounts in the United States, as defined for purposes of Treasury Regulations section 301.7701-7, in the
name and for the sole benefit of the Trust; provided, however, that all payments of funds in respect of the Notes held by the Property Trustee shall be
made directly to the Payment Account and no other funds of the Trust shall be deposited in the Payment Account. The sole signatories for such accounts (including the Payment Account) shall be
designated by the Property Trustee.

    SECURITIES    
    

        SECTION
5.1.    Initial Ownership.    

        Upon
the creation of the Trust and the contribution by the Depositor referred to in Section 2.3 and until the issuance of the Trust
Securities, and at any time during which no Trust Securities are Outstanding, the Depositor shall be the sole beneficial owner of the Trust. 

        SECTION
5.2.    Authorized Trust Securities.    

        The
Trust shall be authorized to issue one series of Preferred Securities having an aggregate Liquidation Amount of $15,000,000 and one series of Common Securities having an aggregate
Liquidation Amount of $470,000. 

        SECTION
5.3.    Issuance of the Common Securities; Subscription and Purchase of Notes.    

        On
the Closing Date, an Administrative Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall execute and deliver to the Depositor Common Securities Certificates, registered in the name of the
Depositor, evidencing an aggregate of 470 Common Securities having an aggregate Liquidation Amount of Four Hundred Seventy Thousand Dollars ($470,000), against receipt by the Trust of the aggregate
purchase price of such Common Securities of Four Hundred Seventy Thousand Dollars ($470,000). Contemporaneously therewith and with the sale by the Trust to the Holders of an aggregate of 15,000
Preferred Securities having an aggregate Liquidation Amount of Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000), an Administrative Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall purchase from the Depositor Notes, to be
registered in the name of the Property Trustee on behalf of the Trust and having an aggregate principal amount equal to Fifteen Million Four Hundred Seventy Thousand Dollars ($15,470,000), and, in
satisfaction of the purchase price for such Notes, the Property Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall deliver to the Depositor the sum of Fifteen Million Four Hundred Seventy Thousand Dollars
($15,470,000) (being the aggregate amount paid by the Holders for the Preferred Securities, net of the discount, and the amount paid by the Depositor for the Common Securities). 

        SECTION
5.4.    The Securities Certificates.    

        (a)   The
Preferred Securities Certificates shall be issued in minimum denominations of $100,000 Liquidation Amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, and the
Common Securities Certificates shall be issued in minimum denominations of $10,000 Liquidation Amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Securities Certificates shall be executed
on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile signature of at least one Administrative Trustee. Securities Certificates bearing the signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures
shall have been affixed, authorized to sign such Securities Certificates on behalf of the Trust shall be validly issued and entitled to the benefits of this Trust Agreement, notwithstanding that such
individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so authorized prior to the delivery of such Securities Certificates or did not have such authority at the date of delivery of such Securities
Certificates. 

        (b)   On
the Closing Date, upon the written order of an authorized officer of the Depositor, the Administrative Trustees shall cause Securities Certificates to be executed on
behalf of the Trust and delivered, without further corporate action by the Depositor, in authorized denominations. 

        (c)   The
Preferred Securities issued to QIBs shall be, except as provided in Section 5.6, Book-Entry
Preferred Securities issued in the form of one or more Global Preferred Securities registered in the name of the Depositary, or its nominee and deposited with the Depositary or a custodian for the
Depositary for credit by the Depositary to the respective accounts of the Depositary Participants thereof (or such other accounts as they may direct). The Preferred Securities issued to a Person other
than a QIB shall be issued in the form of Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates. 

19

  

        (d)   A Preferred Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of an Authorized Officer of the Property Trustee. Such signature shall be conclusive
evidence that the Preferred Security has been authenticated under this Trust Agreement. Upon written order of the Trust signed by one Administrative Trustee, the Property Trustee shall authenticate
the Preferred Securities for original issue. The Property Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent that is a U.S. Person acceptable to the Trust to authenticate the Preferred Securities. A Common
Security need not be so authenticated and shall be valid upon execution by one or more Administrative Trustees. The form of this certificate of authentication can be found in  Section 5.13.

        SECTION
5.5.    Rights of Holders.    

        The
Trust Securities shall have no preemptive or similar rights and when issued and delivered to Holders against payment of the purchase price therefor will be fully paid and
non-assessable by the Trust. Except as provided in Section 5.11(b), the Holders of the Trust Securities, in their capacities as such,
shall be entitled to the same limitation of personal liability extended to stockholders of private corporations for profit organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. 

        SECTION
5.6.    Book-Entry Preferred Securities.    

        (a)   A
Global Preferred Security may be exchanged, in whole or in part, for Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates registered in the names of the Owners only if such
exchange complies with Section 5.7 and (i) the Depositary advises the Administrative Trustees and the Property Trustee in writing that the
Depositary is no longer willing or able properly to discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Global Preferred Security, and no qualified successor is appointed by the Administrative Trustees
within ninety (90) days of receipt of such notice, (ii) the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and the Administrative Trustees fail to appoint a
qualified successor within ninety (90) days of obtaining knowledge of such event, (iii) the Administrative Trustees at their option advise the Property Trustee in writing that the Trust
elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depositary or (iv) a Note Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in
clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, the Administrative Trustees shall notify the Depositary and instruct the Depositary to notify all Owners of Book-Entry Preferred
Securities, the Delaware Trustee and the Property Trustee of the occurrence of such event and of the availability of the Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates to Owners of the Preferred
Securities requesting the same. Upon the issuance of Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates, the Trustees shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates as
Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Preferred Security wishes at any time to transfer an interest in such Global Preferred Security to a Person
other than a QIB, such transfer shall be effected, subject to the Applicable Depositary Procedures, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.6  and Section 5.7, and the transferee shall receive a Definitive Preferred Securities Certificate in connection with such
transfer. A holder of a Definitive Preferred Securities Certificate that is a QIB may, upon request and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.6  and Section 5.7, exchange such Definitive Preferred Securities Certificate for a beneficial interest in a Global
Preferred Security. 

        (b)   If
any Global Preferred Security is to be exchanged for Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates or canceled in part, or if any Definitive Preferred Securities
Certificate is to be exchanged in whole or in part for any Global Preferred Security, then either (i) such Global Preferred Security shall be so surrendered for exchange or cancellation as
provided in this Article V or (ii) the aggregate Liquidation Amount represented by such Global Preferred Security shall be reduced,
subject to Section 5.4, or increased by an amount equal to the Liquidation Amount represented by that portion of the Global Preferred Security to
be so exchanged or canceled, or equal to the Liquidation Amount represented by such Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates to be so exchanged for any Global Preferred Security, as the case may
be, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of 

20

 

the
Securities Registrar, whereupon the Property Trustee, in accordance with the Applicable Depositary Procedures, shall instruct the Depositary or its authorized representative to make a
corresponding adjustment to its records. Upon any such surrender to the Administrative Trustees or the Securities Registrar of any Global Preferred Security or Securities by the Depositary,
accompanied by registration instructions, the Administrative Trustees, or any one of them, shall execute the Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates in accordance with the instructions of the
Depositary. None of the Securities Registrar or the Trustees shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on,
such instructions. 

        (c)   Every
Definitive Preferred Securities Certificate executed and delivered upon registration or transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Preferred Security
or any portion thereof shall be executed and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Preferred Security, unless such Definitive Preferred Securities Certificate is registered in the name of a
Person other than the Depositary for such Global Preferred Security or a nominee thereof. 

        (d)   The
Depositary or its nominee, as registered owner of a Global Preferred Security, shall be the Holder of such Global Preferred Security for all purposes under this
Trust Agreement and the Global Preferred Security, and Owners with respect to a Global Preferred Security shall hold such interests pursuant to the Applicable Depositary Procedures. The Securities
Registrar and the Trustees shall be entitled to deal with the Depositary for all purposes of this Trust Agreement relating to the Global Preferred Securities (including the payment of the Liquidation
Amount of and Distributions on the Book-Entry Preferred Securities represented thereby and the giving of instructions or directions by Owners of Book-Entry Preferred Securities
represented thereby and the giving of notices) as the sole Holder of the Book-Entry Preferred Securities represented thereby and shall have no obligations to the Owners thereof. None of
the Trustees nor the Securities Registrar shall have any liability in respect of any transfers effected by the Depositary. 

        (e)   The
rights of the Owners of the Book-Entry Preferred Securities shall be exercised only through the Depositary and shall be limited to those established by
law, the Applicable Depositary Procedures and agreements between such Owners and the Depositary and/or the Depositary Participants; provided, solely for
the purpose of determining whether the Holders of the requisite amount of Preferred Securities have voted on any matter provided for in this Trust Agreement, so long as Definitive Preferred Security
Certificates have not been issued pursuant to Section 5.4(a), the Trustees may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, any written instrument (including a proxy)
delivered to the Property Trustee by the Depositary setting forth the Owners' votes or assigning the right to vote on any matter to any other Persons either in whole or in part. Unless and until
Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 5.4, the initial Depositary will make book-entry transfers among the Depositary Participants and receive
and transmit payments on the Preferred Securities to such Depositary Participants, and none of the Depositor or the Trustees shall have any responsibility or obligation with respect thereto. 

        (f)    To
the extent that a notice or other communication to the Holders is required under this Trust Agreement, for so long as Preferred Securities are represented by a Global
Preferred Security, the Trustees shall give all such notices and communications to the Depositary, and shall have no obligations to the Owners. 

        SECTION
5.7.    Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Preferred Securities Certificates.    

        (a)   The
Property Trustee shall keep or cause to be kept, at the Corporate Trust Office, a register or registers (the "Securities
Register") in which the registrar and transfer agent with respect to the Trust Securities (the "Securities Registrar"), subject
to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, shall provide for the registration of Preferred Securities Certificates and Common Securities Certificates and registration of transfers and
exchanges of Preferred Securities Certificates as herein provided. The 

21

 

Person
acting as the Property Trustee shall at all times also be the Securities Registrar. The provisions of Article VIII shall apply to the
Property Trustee in its role as Securities Registrar. 

        (b)   Upon
surrender for registration of transfer of any Preferred Securities Certificate at the office or agency maintained pursuant to  Section 5.7(f), the Administrative Trustees or any one of them shall
execute by manual or facsimile signature and deliver to the Property
Trustee, and the Property Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Preferred Securities Certificates in authorized denominations
of a like aggregate Liquidation Amount as may be required by this Trust Agreement dated the date of execution by such Administrative Trustee or Trustees. At the option of a Holder, Preferred
Securities Certificates may be exchanged for other Preferred Securities Certificates in authorized denominations and of a like aggregate Liquidation Amount upon surrender of the Preferred Securities
Certificate to be exchanged at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 5.7(f). Whenever any Preferred Securities Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange, the Administrative Trustees or any one of them shall execute by manual or facsimile signature and deliver to the Property Trustee, and the Property Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver, the Preferred Securities Certificates that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 

        (c)   The
Securities Registrar shall not be required, (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Preferred Security during a period beginning at the opening
of business fifteen (15) days before the day of selection for redemption of such Preferred Securities pursuant to Article IV and ending at
the close of business on the day of mailing of the notice of redemption or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Preferred Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part,
except, in the case of any such Preferred Security to be redeemed in part, any portion thereof not to be redeemed. 

        (d)   Every
Preferred Securities Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities Registrar duly executed by the Holder or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing and (i) if such Preferred Securities
Certificate is being transferred to a QIB, accompanied by a certificate of the transferor substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit E hereto
or (ii) if such Preferred Securities Certificate is being transferred otherwise than to a QIB, accompanied by a certificate of the transferee substantially in the form set forth as  Exhibit F hereto. 

        (e)   No
service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Preferred Securities Certificates, but the Property Trustee on behalf of the Trust 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 Preferred Securities Certificates. 

        (f)    The
Administrative Trustees shall designate an office or offices or agency or agencies where Preferred Securities Certificates may be surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange. The Depositor initially designates the Corporate Trust Office as its office and agency for such purposes. The Administrative Trustees shall give prompt written notice to the
Depositor, the Property Trustee and to the Holders of any change in the location of any such office or agency. 

        SECTION
5.8.    Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Securities Certificates.    

        (a)   If
any mutilated Securities Certificate shall be surrendered to the Securities Registrar together with such security or indemnity as may be required by the Securities
Registrar and the Administrative Trustees to save each of them harmless, the Administrative Trustees, or any one of them, on behalf of the Trust, shall execute and make available for delivery in
exchange therefor a new Securities Certificate of like class, tenor and denomination. 

        (b)   If
the Securities Registrar shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Securities Certificate and 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 

22

 

harmless,
then in the absence of notice that such Securities Certificate shall have been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Administrative Trustees, or any one of them, on behalf of the Trust,
shall execute and make available for delivery, and, with respect to Preferred Securities, the Property Trustee shall authenticate, in exchange for or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen
Securities Certificate, a new Securities Certificate of like class, tenor and denomination. 

        (c)   In
connection with the issuance of any new Securities Certificate under this Section 5.8, 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. 

        (d)   Any
duplicate Securities Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.8 shall constitute conclusive evidence of
an undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the Trust corresponding to that evidenced by the mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Securities Certificate, as if originally issued, whether or not
the lost, stolen or destroyed Securities Certificate shall be found at any time. 

        (e)   If
any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Depositor in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new
Security, pay such Security. 

        (f)    The
provisions of this Section 5.8 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and
remedies with respect to the replacement of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities Certificates. 

        SECTION
5.9.    Persons Deemed Holders.    

        The
Trustees and the Securities Registrar shall each treat the Person in whose name any Securities Certificate shall be registered in the Securities Register as the owner of such
Securities Certificate for the purpose of receiving Distributions and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Trustees and the Securities Registrar shall be bound by any notice to the
contrary. 

        SECTION
5.10.    Cancellation.    

        All
Preferred Securities Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or for payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Property Trustee, be
delivered to the Property Trustee, and any such Preferred Securities Certificates and Preferred Securities Certificates surrendered directly to the Property Trustee for any such purpose shall be
promptly canceled by it. The Administrative Trustees may at any time deliver to the Property Trustee for cancellation any Preferred Securities Certificates previously delivered hereunder that the
Administrative Trustees may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Preferred Securities Certificates so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Property Trustee. No Preferred Securities
Certificates shall be executed and delivered in lieu of or in exchange for any Preferred Securities Certificates canceled as provided in this  Section 5.10, except as expressly permitted by this
Trust Agreement. All canceled Preferred Securities Certificates shall be disposed of by the
Property Trustee in accordance with its customary practices and the Property Trustee shall deliver to the Administrative Trustees a certificate of such disposition. 

        SECTION
5.11.    Ownership of Common Securities by Depositor.    

        (a)   On
the Closing Date, the Depositor shall acquire, and thereafter shall 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 or any such 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 (in which event such Common Securities will be transferred to such surviving entity, transferee or lessee, as the case may be), pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Indenture or (ii) to
the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor, in each such case in compliance with applicable law (including the Securities Act, and applicable state securities and blue sky laws). To the fullest
extent permitted by law, any attempted transfer of the Common Securities 

23

 

other
than as set forth in the immediately 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 APPLICABLE LAW AND SECTION 5.11 OF THE TRUST AGREEMENT." 

        (b)   Any
Holder of the Common Securities shall be liable for the debts and obligations of the Trust in the manner and to the extent set forth with respect to the Depositor
and agrees that it shall be subject to all liabilities to which the Depositor may be subject and, prior to becoming such a Holder, shall deliver to the Administrative Trustees an instrument of
assumption satisfactory to such Trustees. 

        SECTION
5.12.    Restricted Legends.    

        (a)   Each
Preferred Security Certificate shall bear a legend in substantially the following form: 

"IF THIS SECURITY IS A GLOBAL SECURITY INSERT; THIS PREFERRED SECURITY IS A GLOBAL SECURITY WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE TRUST AGREEMENT HEREINAFTER

ARTICLE VI.    
    
    MEETINGS; VOTING; ACTS OF HOLDERS    
    

        SECTION
6.1.    Notice of Meetings.    

        Notice
of all meetings of the Holders of the Preferred Securities, stating the time, place and purpose of the meeting, shall be given by the Property Trustee pursuant to  Section 10.8 to each Holder of
Preferred Securities, at such Holder's registered address, at least fifteen (15) days and not more than
ninety (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
6.2.    Meetings of Holders of the Preferred Securities.    

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

        (b)   The
Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities, present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of the
Holders of the Preferred Securities. 

        (c)   If
a quorum is present at a meeting, an affirmative vote by the Holders present, in person or by proxy, holding Preferred Securities representing at least a Majority in
Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities held by the Holders present, either in person or by proxy, at such meeting shall constitute the action of the Holders of the Preferred Securities, unless
this Trust Agreement requires a lesser or greater number of affirmative votes. 

        SECTION
6.3.    Voting Rights.    

        Holders
shall be entitled to one vote for each $10,000 of Liquidation Amount represented by their Outstanding Trust Securities in respect of any matter as to which such Holders are
entitled to vote. 

26

 

        SECTION
6.4.    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 Administrative Trustees, or with such other officer or agent of the Trust as the Administrative Trustees may direct, for verification prior to the
time at which such vote shall be taken. Pursuant to a resolution of the Property Trustee, proxies may be solicited in the name of the Property Trustee or one or more officers of the Property Trustee.
Only 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. 

        SECTION
6.5.    Holder Action by Written Consent.    

        Any
action that may be taken by Holders at a meeting may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice if Holders holding at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of all Preferred
Securities entitled to vote in respect of such action (or such lesser or greater proportion thereof as shall be required by any other provision of this Trust Agreement) shall consent to the action in
writing; provided, that notice of such action is promptly provided to the Holders of Preferred Securities that did not consent to such action. Any
action that may be taken by the Holders of all the Common Securities may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice if such Holders shall consent to the action in writing. 

        SECTION
6.6.    Record Date for Voting and Other Purposes.    

        Except
as provided in Section 6.10(a), for the purposes 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 may from time to time fix a date, not more than ninety (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
6.7.    Acts of Holders.    

        (a)   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 may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent thereof duly appointed in writing; and, except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to an Administrative Trustee. Such instrument or instruments (and the action
embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Holders 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 conclusive in favor of the Trustees, if made in the manner
provided in this Section 6.7. 

        (b)   The
fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a
notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where
such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than such signer's individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also 

27

 

constitute
sufficient proof of such signer's 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 that any Trustee receiving the same deems sufficient. 

        (c)   The
ownership of Trust Securities shall be proved by the Securities Register. 

        (d)   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 Trustees, the Administrative Trustees or the Trust in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Trust Security. 

        (e)   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. 

        (f)    If
any dispute shall arise among the Holders or the Trustees with respect to the authenticity, validity or binding nature of any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of such Holder or Trustee under this Article VI, then the determination of such matter by the
Property Trustee shall be conclusive with respect to such matter. 

        SECTION
6.8.    Inspection of Records.    

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

        SECTION
6.9.    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 Preferred Securities shall have any right to
vote or in any manner otherwise control the administration, operation and management of the Trust or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the
terms of the 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 Notes are held by the Property Trustee on behalf of the Trust, the Property Trustee shall not (i) direct the time, method and place of conducting
any proceeding for any remedy available to the Note Trustee, or exercise any trust or power conferred on the Property Trustee with respect to the Notes, (ii) waive any past default that may be
waived under Section 5.13 of the Indenture, (iii) exercise any right to rescind or annul a declaration that the principal of all the Notes shall be due and payable or (iv) consent
to any amendment, modification or termination of the Indenture or the Notes, where such consent shall be required, without, in each case, obtaining the prior approval of the Holders of at least a
Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities; provided, that where a consent under the Indenture would require the consent of each holder
of Notes (or each Holder of Preferred Securities) affected thereby, no such consent shall be given by the Property Trustee without the prior written consent of each Holder of Preferred Securities. The
Property Trustee shall not revoke any action previously authorized or approved by a vote of the Holders of the Preferred Securities, except by a subsequent vote of the Holders of the Preferred
Securities. In addition to obtaining the foregoing approvals of the Holders of the Preferred 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 Trust to be 

28

 

taxable
as a corporation or classified as other than a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes. 

        (c)   If
any proposed amendment to the Trust Agreement provides for, or the Trustees otherwise propose to effect, (i) any action that would adversely affect in any
material respect the powers, preferences or special rights of the Preferred Securities, whether by way of amendment to the Trust Agreement or otherwise or (ii) the dissolution,
winding-up or termination of the Trust, other than pursuant to the terms of this Trust Agreement, then the Holders of Outstanding Preferred 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 Preferred 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 Trust to be taxable as a corporation
or classified as other than a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes. 

        SECTION
6.10.    Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission of Annulment; Waivers of Past Defaults.    

        (a)   For
so long as any Preferred Securities remain Outstanding, if, upon a Note Event of Default, the Note Trustee fails or the holders of not less than twenty five percent
(25%) in principal amount of the outstanding Notes fail to declare the principal of all of the Notes to be immediately due and payable, the Holders of at least twenty five percent (25%) in Liquidation
Amount of the Preferred Securities then Outstanding shall have the right to make such declaration by a notice in writing to the Property Trustee, the Depositor and the Note Trustee. At any time after
a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Note Trustee as provided in the Indenture,
the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities, by written notice to the Property Trustee, the Depositor and the Note Trustee, may rescind and annul such
declaration and its consequences if: 

        (i)    the
Depositor has paid or deposited with the Note Trustee a sum sufficient to pay: 

        (A)  all
overdue installments of interest on all of the Notes; 

        (B)  any
accrued Additional Interest on all of the Notes; 

        (C)  the
principal of and any premium on any Notes that have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest and Additional Interest thereon at the
rate borne by the Notes; and 

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

        (ii)   all
Note Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the principal of the Notes that has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or
waived as provided in Section 5.13 of the Indenture. 

        Upon
receipt by the Property Trustee of written notice requesting such an acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof, by Holders of any part of the Preferred Securities, a record
date shall be established for determining Holders of Outstanding Preferred 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 that is ninety (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 

29

 

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 ninety (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 that 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 6.10(a). 

        (b)   For
so long as any Preferred Securities remain Outstanding, to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the terms of this Trust Agreement and the Indenture,
upon a Note Event of Default specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of Section 5.1 of the Indenture, any Holder of Preferred Securities shall have the right to institute a proceeding
directly against the Depositor, pursuant to Section 5.8 of the Indenture, for enforcement of payment to such Holder of any amounts payable in respect of Notes having an aggregate principal
amount equal to the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities of such Holder. Except as set forth in Section 6.10(a) and this  Section 6.10(b)
, the Holders of Preferred Securities shall have no right to exercise directly any right or remedy available to the holders of, or
in respect of, the Notes. 

        (c)   Notwithstanding
paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 6.10, the Holders of at least a Majority in
Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Preferred Securities, waive any Note Event of Default, except any Note Event of Default arising from the failure
to pay any principal of or any premium or interest on (including any Additional Interest) the Notes (unless such Note Event of Default has been cured and a sum sufficient to pay all matured
installments of interest and all principal and premium on all Notes due otherwise than by acceleration has been deposited with the Note Trustee) or a Note Event of Default in respect of a covenant or
provision that under the Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding Note. Upon any such waiver, such Note Event of Default shall cease to exist and
any Note Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of the Indenture; but no such waiver shall affect any subsequent Note Event of Default or impair any
right consequent thereon. 

        (d)   Notwithstanding
paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 6.10, the Holders of at least a Majority in
Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Preferred Securities, waive any past Event of Default and its consequences. Upon such waiver, any such Event of
Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Trust Agreement, but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

        (e)   The
Holders of a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for
any remedy available to the Property Trustee in respect of this Trust Agreement or the Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Property Trustee under this Trust Agreement;  provided,
that, subject to Sections 8.5 and 8.7, the
Property Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Property Trustee being advised by counsel determines that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken, or if
the Property Trustee in good faith shall, by an officer or officers of the Property Trustee, determine that the proceedings so directed would be illegal or involve it in personal liability or be
unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders not party to such direction, and provided, further, that
nothing in this Trust Agreement shall impair the right of the Property Trustee to take any action deemed proper by the Property Trustee and which is not inconsistent with such direction.

    THE TRUSTEES    
    

        SECTION
8.1.    Number of Trustees.    

        The
number of Trustees shall be five (5); provided, that the Property Trustee and the Delaware Trustee may be the same Person, in which
case the number of Trustees shall be four (4). The number of Trustees may be increased or decreased by Act of the Holder of the Common Securities subject to Sections
8.2, 8.3, and 8.4. The death, resignation, retirement, removal, bankruptcy,
incompetence or incapacity to perform the duties of a Trustee shall not operate to annul, dissolve or terminate the Trust. 

32

 

        SECTION
8.2.    Property Trustee Required.    

        There
shall at all times be a Property Trustee hereunder with respect to the Trust Securities. The Property Trustee shall be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of
the United States or of any state thereof, authorized to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least fifty million dollars ($50,000,000), subject to supervision
or examination by federal or state authority and having an office within the United States. 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 8.2, 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 shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 8.2, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this  Article VIII.

        SECTION
8.3.    Delaware Trustee Required.    

        (a)   If
required by the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, there shall at all times be a Delaware Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities. The Delaware Trustee shall either

specified in this Article VIII. 

        (b)   The
Delaware Trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any powers, nor shall the Delaware Trustee have any of the duties and responsibilities, of the Property Trustee or
the Administrative Trustees set forth herein. The Delaware Trustee shall be one of the trustees of the Trust for the sole and limited purpose of fulfilling the requirements of Section 3807 of
the Delaware Statutory Trust Act and for taking such actions as are required to be taken by a Delaware trustee under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act. The duties (including fiduciary duties),
liabilities and obligations of the Delaware Trustee shall be limited to (a) accepting legal process served on the Trust in the State of Delaware and (b) the execution of any certificates
required to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware that the Delaware Trustee is required to execute under Section 3811 of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act and there shall
be no other duties (including fiduciary duties) or obligations, express or implied, at law or in equity, of the Delaware Trustee. 

        SECTION
8.4.    Appointment of Administrative Trustees.    

        (a)   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. Each of the individuals identified as an
"Administrative Trustee" in the preamble of this Trust Agreement hereby accepts his or her appointment as such. 

        (b)   Except

shall occur, until such vacancy is filled by the appointment of an Administrative Trustee in accordance with Section 8.11, the Administrative
Trustees in office, regardless of their number (and notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust Agreement), shall have all the powers granted to the Administrative Trustees and shall discharge
all the duties imposed upon the Administrative Trustees by this Trust Agreement. 

33

 

        SECTION
8.5.    Duties and Responsibilities of the Trustees.    

        (a)   The
rights, immunities, duties and responsibilities of the Trustees shall be as provided by this Trust Agreement and there shall be no other duties (including fiduciary
duties) or obligations, express or implied, at law or in equity, of the Trustees; provided, however, that if an Event of Default known to the Property
Trustee has occurred and is continuing, the Property Trustee shall, prior to the receipt of directions, if any, from the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred
Securities, exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by the Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Trust Agreement shall require any of the Trustees to expend or risk its own funds or
otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its or their rights or powers, if it or they shall have reasonable grounds for
believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not herein expressly so provided, every provision of this Trust
Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustees shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 8.5. To the extent that, at law or in
equity, a Trustee has duties and liabilities relating to the Trust or to the Holders, such Trustee shall not be liable to the Trust or to any Holder for such Trustee's good faith reliance on the
provisions of this Trust Agreement. The provisions of this Trust Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of the 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 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 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 8.5(b) does not limit the liability of the Trustees expressly set forth elsewhere in this Trust Agreement. 

        (c)   No
provisions of this Trust Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Property Trustee from liability with respect to matters that are within the authority of the
Property Trustee under this Trust Agreement for its own negligent action, negligent failure to act or willful misconduct, except that: 

        (i)    the
Property Trustee shall not be liable for any error or 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; 

        (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
at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Property Trustee hereunder or
under the Indenture, 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 Notes 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; 

34

  

        (iv)  the
Property Trustee shall not be liable for any interest on any money received by it except as it may otherwise agree with the Depositor; and money held by the
Property Trustee need not be segregated from other funds held by it except in relation to the Payment Account maintained by the Property Trustee pursuant to Section 3.1 and except to the extent
otherwise required by law; and 

        (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 any other Trustee or the Depositor. 

        SECTION
8.6.    Notices of Defaults and Extensions.    

        (a)   Within
ninety (90) days after the occurrence of a default actually known to the Property Trustee, the Property Trustee shall transmit notice of such default to
the Holders, the Administrative Trustees and the Depositor, unless such default shall have been cured or waived; provided, that, except in the case of a
default in the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest (including any Additional Interest) on any Trust Security, the Property Trustee shall be fully protected in withholding such
notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Property Trustee in good faith determines that the
withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Trust Securities. For the purpose of this Section 8.6, the term
"default" means any event that is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default. 

        (b)   Within
five (5) Business Days after the receipt of notice of the Depositor's exercise of its right to defer the payment of interest on the Notes 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
and the Administrative Trustees, unless such exercise shall have been revoked. 

        (c)   The
Property Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Event of Default unless the Property Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the
Depositor, any Administrative Trustee or any Holder or unless an officer of the Property Trustee charged with the administration of this Trust Agreement shall have obtained actual knowledge of such
Event of Default. 

        (d)   The
Property Trustee shall notify all Holders of the Preferred Securities of any notice of default received with respect to the Notes. 

        SECTION
8.7.    Certain Rights of Property Trustee.    

        Subject
to the provisions of Section 8.5: 

        (a)   the
Property Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting in good faith and in accordance with the terms hereof upon any
resolution, Opinion of Counsel, certificate, written representation of a Holder or transferee, certificate of auditors or any other resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
notice, request, direction, 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, (ii) in
construing any of the provisions of this Trust Agreement the Property Trustee finds a provision 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 Holders of the Preferred Securities are entitled to vote under the terms of
this Trust Agreement, the Property Trustee shall deliver a notice to the Depositor requesting the Depositor's written instruction as to 

35

 

the
course of action to be taken and the Property Trustee shall take such action, or refrain from taking such action, as the Property Trustee shall be instructed in writing to take, or to refrain from

        (f)    the
Property Trustee may consult with counsel (which counsel may be counsel to the Property Trustee, 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

fees and expenses) and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction, including reasonable advances as may be requested by the Property Trustee; 

        (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,

taking such other 

36

 

action
until such instructions are received and (iii) shall be protected in acting in accordance with such instructions;

prejudice to any other rights available to the Property Trustee under applicable law, when the Property Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection

which, upon receipt of such request, shall be promptly delivered by the Depositor. 

        No
provision of this Trust Agreement shall be deemed to impose any duty or obligation on any Trustee to perform any act or acts or exercise any right, power, duty or obligation conferred

        The
Depositor agrees: 

        (a)   to
pay to the Trustees from time to time such reasonable compensation for all services rendered by them hereunder as may be agreed by the Depositor and the Trustees from

        (b)   to
reimburse the Trustees upon request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustees in accordance with any provision of this

        The

        In
no event shall the Property Trustee and the Delaware Trustee be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder because of circumstances beyond its
control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, flood, war (whether declared or undeclared), terrorism, fire, riot, embargo, government action, including any laws, ordinances, regulations,
governmental action or the like which delay, restrict or prohibit the providing of the services contemplated by this Trust Agreement. 

        SECTION
8.11.    Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.    

        (a)   No
resignation or removal of any Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article VIII
shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of  Section 8.12. 

        (b)   A
Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor and, in the case of the Property Trustee and the Delaware Trustee, to the Holders. 

        (c)   Unless
an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, or both of them, may be removed (with or without cause)
at any time by Act of the Holder of Common Securities. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, or both of them, may be removed (with
or without cause) at such time by Act of the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities, delivered to the removed Trustee (in its individual capacity and on
behalf of the Trust). An Administrative Trustee may be removed (with or without cause) only by Act of the Holder of the Common Securities at any time. 

        (d)   If
any Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting as Trustee, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of any Trustee for any reason, at a time when
no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Holder of the Common Securities, by Act of the Holder of the Common Securities, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees,
and such successor Trustee and the retiring Trustee shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 8.12. If the Property Trustee or the
Delaware Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of continuing 

38

 

to
act as the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, at a time when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Holders of the Preferred Securities, by Act of
the Holders of a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities, shall promptly appoint a successor Property Trustee or Delaware Trustee, and such successor Property Trustee or Delaware
Trustee and the retiring Property Trustee or Delaware Trustee shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 8.12. If an Administrative
Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting as Administrative Trustee, at a time when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Holder of the Common Securities
by Act of the Holder of Common Securities shall promptly appoint a successor Administrative Trustee and such successor Administrative Trustee and the retiring Administrative Trustee shall comply with
the applicable requirements of Section 8.12. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Holder of the Common Securities or
Holders of the Preferred Securities, as the case may be, and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 8.12 within thirty
(30) days after the giving of a notice of resignation by a Trustee, the removal of a Trustee, or a Trustee becoming incapable of acting as such Trustee, any Holder who has been a Holder of
Preferred Securities for at least six (6) months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, and any resigning Trustee may, in each case, at the expense of the Depositor,
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

        (e)   The
Depositor shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee and each appointment of a successor Property Trustee
or Delaware Trustee to all Holders in the manner provided in Section 10.8. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Property Trustee
or Delaware Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office if it is the Property Trustee. 

        (f)    Notwithstanding
the foregoing or any other provision of this Trust Agreement, in the event any Administrative Trustee or a Delaware Trustee who is a natural person dies
or becomes, in the opinion of the Holder of Common Securities, incompetent or incapacitated, the vacancy created by such death, incompetence or incapacity may be filled by (i) the unanimous act
of the remaining Administrative Trustees if there are at least two of them or (ii) otherwise by the Holder of the Common Securities (with the successor in each case being a Person who satisfies
the eligibility requirement for Administrative Trustees or Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, set forth in Sections 8.3 and  8.4). 

        (g)   Upon
the appointment of a successor Delaware Trustee, such successor Delaware Trustee shall file a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Trust in
accordance with Section 3810 of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act. 

        SECTION
8.12.    Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.    

        (a)   In
case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee, each successor Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Depositor and to the retiring Trustee an instrument
accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on request of the Trust or any successor Trustee such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges,
duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all Trust Property, all proceeds thereof and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Trust Securities and the
Trust. 

        (b)   Upon
request of any such successor Trustee, the Trust (or the retiring Trustee if requested by the Depositor) shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and
certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the preceding paragraph. 

39

  

        (c)   No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this  Article VIII. 

        SECTION
8.13.    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 Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of such Trustee, shall be the successor of such Trustee
hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided, that such Person shall be
otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article VIII. 

        SECTION
8.14.    Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities.    

        The
recitals contained herein and in the Securities Certificates shall be taken as the statements of the Trust and the Depositor, and the Trustees do not assume any responsibility for
their correctness. The Trustees make no representations as to the title to, or value or condition of, the property of the Trust or any part thereof, nor as to the validity or sufficiency of this Trust
Agreement, the Notes or the Trust Securities. The Trustees shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor of the proceeds of the Notes. 

        SECTION
8.15.    Property Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.    

        (a)   In
case of any Bankruptcy Event (or event that with the passage of time would become a Bankruptcy Event) relative to the Trust or any other obligor upon the Trust
Securities or the property of the 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 and irrespective of whether the Property Trustee shall have made any demand on the 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: 

        (i)    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 

        (ii)   to
collect and receive any monies 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 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 first 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. 

        (b)   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
8.16.    Reports to and from the Property Trustee.    

        (a)   The
Depositor and the Administrative Trustees shall deliver to the Property Trustee, not later than forty five (45) days after the end of each of the first three
fiscal quarters of the Depositor and not later than ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Trust ending after the date of this 

40

 

Trust
Agreement, an Officers' Certificate covering the preceding fiscal year, stating whether or not to the knowledge of the signers thereof the Depositor and the Trust are in default in the
performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Trust Agreement (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and, if the
Depositor or the Trust shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they have knowledge. 

        (b)   The
Depositor shall furnish (i) to the Property Trustee; (ii) Trapeza Manager, Inc., (at 507 Carew Tower, 441 Vine Street, Cincinnati, OH 45202 or
such other address as designated by Trapeza Manager, Inc.); and (iii) any Owner of the Preferred Securities reasonably identified to the Depositor and the Trust (which identification may
be made either by such Owner or by Trapeza Manager, Inc.) a duly completed and executed certificate in the form attached hereto as  Exhibit G, including the financial statements referenced in
such Exhibit, which certificate and financial statements shall be so furnished by the
Depositor not later than forty-five (45) days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year of the Depositor and not later than ninety
(90) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Depositor. 

        The
Property Trustee shall obtain all reports, certificate and information, which it is entitled to obtain under each of the Operative Documents. 

 
 

ARTICLE IX.    
    
    TERMINATION, LIQUIDATION AND MERGER    
    

        SECTION
9.1.    Dissolution Upon Expiration Date.    

        Unless
earlier dissolved, the Trust shall automatically dissolve on July 15, 2038 (the "Expiration Date"), and the Trust Property
shall be liquidated in accordance with Section 9.4. 

        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 Trust shall be
dissolved: 

        (a)   the
occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event in respect of, or the dissolution or liquidation of, the Depositor, in its capacity as the Holder of the Common Securities, unless
the Depositor shall have transferred the Common Securities as provided by Section 5.11, in which case this provision shall refer instead to any
such successor 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 Trust and, after satisfaction of any liabilities of
the Trust as required by applicable law, to distribute the Notes to Holders in exchange for the Preferred Securities (which direction is optional and wholly within the discretion of the Holder of the
Common Securities), provided, that the Holder of the Common Securities shall have received the prior approval of the Federal Reserve if then required; 

        (c)   the
redemption of all of the Preferred Securities in connection with the payment at maturity or redemption of all the Notes; and 

        (d)   the
entry of an order for dissolution of the Trust by a court of competent jurisdiction. 

        SECTION
9.3.    Termination.    

        The
respective obligations and responsibilities of the Trustees and the Trust shall terminate upon the latest to occur of the following: (a) the distribution by the Property
Trustee to Holders of all amounts required to be distributed hereunder upon the liquidation of the Trust pursuant to Section 9.4, or upon the
redemption of all of the Trust Securities pursuant to Section 4.2; (b) the satisfaction of any 

41

 

expenses
owed by the Trust; and (c) the discharge of all administrative duties of the Administrative Trustees, including the performance of any tax reporting obligations with respect to the
Trust or the Holders. 

        SECTION
9.4.    Liquidation.    

        (a)   If
an Early Termination Event specified in Section 9.2(a),  (b) or (d) occurs or upon the
Expiration Date, the Trust shall be liquidated by the
Property Trustee as expeditiously as the Property Trustee shall determine to be possible by distributing, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Trust as provided by applicable law, to
each Holder a Like Amount of Notes, subject to Section 9.4(d). Notice of liquidation shall be given by the Property Trustee not less than thirty
(30) nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the Liquidation Date to each Holder of Trust Securities at such Holder's address appearing in the Securities Register. All such 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 (subject to  Section 9.4(d)) any Securities Certificates not surrendered for exchange
will be deemed to represent a Like Amount of Notes; and 

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

        (b)   Except
where Section 9.2(c) or 9.4(d) applies, in order to effect
the liquidation of the Trust and distribution of the Notes to Holders, the Property Trustee, either itself acting as exchange agent or through the appointment of a separate exchange agent, shall
establish a record date for such distribution (which shall not be more than forty five (45) days prior to the Liquidation Date nor prior to the date on which notice of such liquidation is given
to the Holders) and establish such procedures as it shall deem appropriate to effect the distribution of Notes in exchange for the Outstanding Securities Certificates. 

        (c)   Except
where 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 Notes will be issued to Holders of Securities
Certificates, upon surrender of such Certificates to the exchange agent for exchange, (iii) the Depositor shall use its best efforts to have the Notes listed on the New York Stock Exchange or
on such other exchange, interdealer quotation system or self-regulatory organization on which the Preferred Securities are then listed, if any, (iv) Securities Certificates not so
surrendered for exchange will be deemed to represent a Like Amount of Notes bearing accrued and unpaid interest in an amount equal to the accumulated and unpaid Distributions on such 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 Securities Certificates with
respect to such Notes) and (v) all rights of Holders holding Trust Securities will cease, except the right of such Holders to receive Notes upon surrender of Securities Certificates. 

        (d)   Notwithstanding
the other provisions of this Section 9.4, if distribution of the Notes in the manner provided
herein is determined by the Property Trustee not to be permitted or practical, the Trust Property shall be liquidated, and the Trust shall be wound up by the Property Trustee in such manner as the
Property Trustee determines. In such event, Holders will be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Trust available for distribution to Holders, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of
the Trust as provided by applicable law, an amount equal to the Liquidation Amount per Trust Security plus accumulated and unpaid Distributions thereon to the date of payment (such amount being the
"Liquidation Distribution"). If, upon any such winding up the Liquidation Distribution can be paid only in part because the Trust has insufficient
assets available to pay in full the aggregate Liquidation Distribution, then, subject to the next succeeding sentence, the amounts payable by the Trust on the 

42

 

Trust
Securities shall be paid on a pro rata basis (based upon Liquidation Amounts). The Holder of the Common Securities will be entitled to receive
Liquidation Distributions upon any such winding up pro rata (based upon Liquidation Amounts) with Holders of all Trust Securities, except that, if an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Preferred Securities shall have a priority over the Common Securities as provided in  Section 4.3. 

        SECTION
9.5.    Mergers, Consolidations, Amalgamations or Replacements of Trust.    

        The
Trust may not merge with or into, consolidate, amalgamate, or be replaced by, or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to, any Person
except pursuant to this Article IX. At the request of the Holders of the Common Securities, without the consent of the Holders of the Preferred
Securities, the Trust may merge with or into, consolidate, amalgamate, or be replaced by or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to a trust organized as
such under the laws of any State; provided, that: 

        (a)   such
successor entity either (i) expressly assumes all of the obligations of the Trust under this Trust Agreement with respect to the Preferred Securities or
(ii) substitutes for the Preferred Securities other securities having substantially the same terms as the Preferred Securities (such other Securities, the "Successor
Securities") so long as the Successor Securities have the same priority as the Preferred Securities with respect to distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption and
otherwise; 

        (b)   a
trustee of such successor entity possessing substantially the same powers and duties as the Property Trustee is appointed to hold the Notes; 

        (c)   if
the Preferred Securities or the Notes are rated, such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not cause the Preferred
Securities or the Notes (including any Successor Securities) to be downgraded by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization that then assigns a rating to the Preferred Securities or the
Notes; 

        (d)   the
Preferred Securities are listed, or any Successor Securities will be listed upon notice of issuance, on any national securities exchange or interdealer quotation
system on which the Preferred Securities are then listed, if any; 

        (e)   such
merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the Holders of
the Preferred Securities (including any Successor Securities) in any material respect; 

        (f)    such
successor entity has a purpose substantially identical to that of the Trust; 

        (g)   prior
to such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, the Depositor has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that
(i) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the Holders of the Preferred
Securities (including any Successor Securities) in any material respect; (ii) following such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, neither the Trust
nor such successor entity will be required to register as an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act and (iii) following such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement,
conveyance, transfer or lease, the Trust (or the successor entity) will continue to be classified as a grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes; and 

        (h)   the
Depositor or its permitted transferee 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 Agreement. 

43

 

Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Trust shall not, except with the consent of Holders of all of the Preferred Securities, consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or be replaced by or convey,
transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any other Person or permit any other entity to consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or replace, the Trust if such
consolidation, amalgamation, merger, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease would cause the Trust or the successor entity to be taxable as a corporation or classified as other than a grantor trust
for United States federal income tax purposes or cause the Notes to be treated as other than indebtedness of the Depositor for United States federal income tax purposes. 

 
 

ARTICLE X.    
    
    MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS    
    

        SECTION
10.1.    Limitation of Rights of Holders.    

        Except
as set forth in Section 9.2, the death, bankruptcy, termination, dissolution or incapacity of any Person having an interest,
beneficial or otherwise, in Trust Securities shall not operate to terminate this Trust Agreement, nor annul, dissolve or terminate the Trust nor entitle the legal representatives or heirs of such
Person or any Holder for such Person, to claim an accounting, take any action or bring any proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the arrangements contemplated hereby, nor otherwise
affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them. 

        SECTION
10.2.    Agreed Tax Treatment of Trust and Trust Securities.    

        The
parties hereto and, by its acceptance or acquisition of a Trust Security or a beneficial interest therein, the Holder of, and any Person that acquires a beneficial interest in, such
Trust Security intend and agree to treat the Trust as a grantor trust for United States federal, state and local tax purposes, and to treat the Trust Securities (including all payments and proceeds
with respect to such Trust Securities) as undivided beneficial ownership interests in the Trust Property (and payments and proceeds therefrom, respectively) for United States federal, state and local
tax purposes. The provisions of this Trust Agreement shall be interpreted to further this intention and agreement of the parties. 

        SECTION
