SECTION 104. Acts of Holders; Record Dates. (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given 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 duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee at the address specified in Section 105 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 12 and (subject to Section 601) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section. (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 his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient. (c) The Company may, in the circumstances permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, fix any day as the record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, or to vote on any action, authorized or permitted to be given or taken by Holders. If not set by the Company prior to the first solicitation of a Holder made by any Person in respect of any such action, or, in the case of any such vote, prior to such vote, the record date for any such action or vote shall be the 30th day (or, if later, the date of the most recent list of Holders required to be provided pursuant to Section 701) prior to such first solicitation or vote, as the case may be. With regard to any record date, only the Holders on such date (or their duly designated proxies) shall be entitled to give or take, or vote on, the relevant action. (d) The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register. (e) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of 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, omitted 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. SECTION 105. Notices, Etc. to Trustee and the Company. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with: (1) the Trustee by any Holder or by 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, Attention: Corporate Trust Trustee Administration; or 13 (2) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this instrument or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company. SECTION 106. 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, at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any), prescribed for the 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. In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder. SECTION 107. Conflict With Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act that is required under such Act to be a part of and govern this Indenture, the provision of the Trust Indenture Act shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as to modified or so be excluded, as the case may be. SECTION 108. 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 hereof. SECTION 109. Separability Clause. In case 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. 14 SECTION 110. Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, the holders of Indebtedness, the holders of Capital Securities (to the extent provided herein) and the Holders of Securities, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. SECTION 111. GOVERNING LAW. THIS INDENTURE AND THE SECURITIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF. THIS INDENTURE IS SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE TRUST INDENTURE ACT THAT ARE REQUIRED TO BE PART OF THIS INDENTURE AND SHALL, TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE, BE GOVERNED BY SUCH PROVISIONS. SECTION 112. Legal Holidays. In any case where 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 of the Securities) payment of interest or principal of the Securities need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day (except that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be, shall be the immediately preceding Business Day) with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity, PROVIDED that no interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be. ARTICLE TWO SECURITY FORMS The Junior Subordinated Securities in definitive form and the New Junior Subordinated Securities in definitive form shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A; PROVIDED, that the New Junior Subordinated Securities shall not contain any of the provisions following the Trustee's authentication. If the Securities are distributed to the holders of Capital Securities and Common Securities, the record holder (including any Depositary) of any Capital Securities or Common Securities shall be issued Securities in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons, substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, with the legends in substantially the form of the legends existing on the security representing the Capital Securities or Common Securities to be exchanged (with such changes thereto as the officers 15 executing such Securities determine to be necessary or appropriate, as evidenced by their execution of the Securities) and such other legends as may be applicable thereto (including any legend required by Section 313 or Section 314 hereof), duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee or the authenticating agent as provided herein, which Securities, if to be held in global form by any Depositary, may be deposited on behalf of the holders of the Securities represented thereby with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary, and registered in the name of a nominee of the Depositary. Any Global Security shall represent such of the outstanding Securities as shall be specified therein and shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding Securities from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time be increased or reduced to reflect transfers or exchanges permitted hereby. Any endorsement of a Global Security to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in such manner and upon instructions given by the holder of such Securities in accordance with the Indenture. Payment of principal of and interest and premium, if any, on any Global Security shall be made to the holder of such Global Security. The Securities shall have such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with the rules of any securities exchange or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers executing such Securities, as evidenced by their execution of the Securities. The definitive Securities shall be printed, lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of these or other methods, all as determined by the officers executing such Securities, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities. ARTICLE THREE THE SECURITIES SECTION 301. Title and Terms. The aggregate principal amount of Securities which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is limited to $309,279,000 except for Securities authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Securities pursuant to Section 304, 305, 306, 906 or 1208. The Securities' Maturity shall be December 1, 2026. The Securities shall bear interest at the rate of 8.06% per annum, from November 27, 1996 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been 16 paid or duly provided for, as the case may be, payable semi-annually (subject to deferral as set forth herein), in arrears, on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing June 1, 1997, until the principal thereof is paid or made available for payment. Interest will compound semi-annually and will accrue at the rate of 8.06% per annum on any interest installment in arrears for more than one semi-annual period or during an extension of an interest payment period as set forth below in this Section 301. In the event that any date on which interest is payable on the Securities is not a Business Day, then a payment of the interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay). The Company shall have the right, at any time during the term of the Securities, from time to time, to defer payment of interest on such Security for up to 10 consecutive semi-annual periods (an "Extension Period") PROVIDED that no Extension Period may extend past the Maturity of the Security. There may be multiple Extension Periods of varying lengths during the term of the Securities. At the end of each Extension Period, if any, the Company shall pay all interest then accrued and unpaid, together with interest thereon, compounded semi-annually at the rate specified on this Security to the extent permitted by applicable law. During any such Extension Period, the Company may not, and may not permit any Subsidiary of the Company to, (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, interest or premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities of the Company that rank PARI PASSU with or junior in interest to the Securities or make any guarantee payments with respect to any guarantee by the Company of the debt securities of any Subsidiary of the Company if such guarantee ranks PARI PASSU or junior in interest to the Securities (other than (a) dividends or distributions in common stock of the Company, (b) payments under the Guarantee, (c) any declaration of a dividend in connection with the implementation of a stockholders' rights plan, or the issuance of stock under any such plan in the future, or the redemption or repurchase of any such rights pursuant thereto, and (d) purchases of common stock related to the issuance of common stock or rights under any of the Company's benefit plans). Prior to the termination of any such Extension Period, the Company may further extend the interest payment period, PROVIDED that no Extension Period may exceed 10 consecutive semi-annual periods or extend beyond the Stated Maturity of the Securities. Upon the termination of any such Extension Period and the payment of all amounts then due on any Interest Payment Date, the Company may elect to begin a new Extension Period subject to the above requirements. No interest shall be due and payable during an Extension Period, except at the end thereof. The Company shall give the Property Trustee, the Regular Trustees and the Debenture Trustee notice of its election of such Extension Period at least one Business Day prior to the record date for the related interest payment. The Trustee shall promptly give notice of the Company's selection of such Extension Period to the Holders of the Capital Securities. The principal of and interest on the Securities shall be payable at the office or agency of the Paying Agent in the United States maintained for such purpose and at any other office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose in such coin or currency of the 17 United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that at the option of the Company payment of interest may be made (i) by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or (ii) by wire transfer in immediately available funds at such place and to such account as may be designated by the Person entitled thereto as specified in the Security Register. The Securities shall be subordinated in right of payment to Indebtedness as provided in Article Eleven. The Securities shall be redeemable as provided in Article Twelve. SECTION 302. Denominations. The Securities shall be issuable only in registered form, without coupons, and only in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. SECTION 303. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its Vice Chairman of the Board, a President or one of its Vice Presidents, under its corporate seal reproduced thereon 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 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. At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities 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 such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities as in this Indenture provided and not otherwise. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 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 manual signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. 18 SECTION 304. Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Securities, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized 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. 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 any office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 1002, 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 a like principal amount of definitive Securities of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged the temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities. SECTION 305. Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange. The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency designated pursuant to Section 1002 being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the "Security Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee is hereby appointed "Security Registrar" for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security at an office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 1002 for such 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 and of a like aggregate principal amount. At the option of the Holder, Securities may be exchanged for other Securities of any authorized denominations and of a like 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 which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. All Securities issued upon any registration of 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 registration of transfer or exchange. 19 Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for 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 Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. No service charge shall be made for any registration of 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 registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Sections 304, 906 or 1208 not involving any transfer. If the Securities are to be redeemed in part, the Company shall not be required (A) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Securities during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of any such Securities selected for redemption under Section 1204 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (B) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. So long as the Securities are eligible for book-entry settlement with the Depositary, or unless otherwise required by law, all Securities to be traded on the PORTAL Market shall be represented by the Restricted Global Security registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in any Global Security, which does not involve the issuance of a definitive Security or the transfer of interests to another Global Security, shall be effected through the Depositary (but not the Trustee or the Custodian) in accordance with this Indenture (including the restrictions on transfer set forth herein) and the procedures of the Depositary therefor. Neither the Trustee nor the Custodian (in such respective capacities) will have any responsibility for the transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in such Global Security that does not involve the issuance of a definitive Security or the transfer of interests to another Global Security. SECTION 306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as nay be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either 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 the Trustee shall 20 authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. In case 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. Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, 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. Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the 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. The provisions of this Section 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. SECTION 307. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. Interest on any Security which 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. Any interest on any Security which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called "Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the 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 clause (1) or (2) below: (1) 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, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each 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 as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the 21 payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2). (2) 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 if so listed, upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of 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 which, which were carried by such other Security. SECTION 308. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and (subject to Section 307) interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. SECTION 309. Cancellation. All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of as directed by a Company Order. 22 SECTION 310. Computation of Interest. Interest on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The amount of interest payable for any period shorter than a full semi-annual period for which interest is computed will be computed on the basis of actual number of days elapsed in such 180-day semi-annual period. SECTION 311. Right of Set-off. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture, the Company shall have the right to set-off any payment it is otherwise required to make thereunder to the extent the Company has theretofore made, or is concurrently on the date of such payment making, a related payment under the Guarantee. SECTION 312. 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 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 Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption 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. SECTION 313. Global Securities. If the Securities are distributed to the holders of Capital Securities, Securities distributed in respect of Capital Securities that are held in global form by a Depositary will initially be issued as a Global Security, unless such transfer cannot be effected through book-entry settlement. If the Company shall establish that the Securities are to be issued in the form of one or more Global Securities, then the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 303 and the Company Order, authenticate and deliver one or more Global Securities that (i) shall represent and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of all of the Securities to be issued in the form of Global Securities and not yet cancelled, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Security or Securities or the nominee of such Depositary, and (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depositary or pursuant to such Depositary's instructions. Global Securities shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: "This Security is a Global Security within the meaning of the Indenture hereinafter referred to and is registered in the name of a Depositary or a nominee of a Depositary. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 305, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in definitive registered form, a Global Security representing all or a part of the Securities may not be transferred in the manner provided in Section 305 except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by such 23 Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. Every Security delivered upon registration or transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, this Global Security shall be a Global Security subject to the foregoing, except in the limited circumstances described above. Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation ("DTC"), to the Company or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is to be made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein." Definitive Securities issued in exchange for all or a part of a Global Security pursuant to this Section 313 shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. Upon execution and authentication, the Trustee shall deliver such definitive Securities to the persons in whose names such definitive Securities are so registered. At such time as all interests in Global Securities have been redeemed, repurchased or canceled, such Global Securities shall be, upon receipt thereof, canceled by the Trustee in accordance with standing procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the Custodian. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any interest in Global Securities is exchanged for definitive Securities, redeemed, canceled or transferred to a transferee who receives definitive Securities therefor or any definitive Security is exchanged or transferred for part of Global Securities, the principal amount of such Global Securities shall, in accordance with the standing procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the Custodian, be reduced or increased, as the case may be, and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Securities by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, to reflect such reduction or increase. The Company and the Trustee may for all purposes, including the making of payments due on the Securities, deal with the Depositary as the authorized representative of the Holders for the purposes of exercising the rights of Holders hereunder. The rights of the owner of any beneficial interest in a Global Security shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such owners and depository participants or Euroclear and Cedel; PROVIDED, that no such agreement shall give any rights to any person against the Company or the Trustee without the written consent of the parties so affected. Multiple requests and directions from and votes of the Depositary as holder of Securities in global form with respect to any particular matter shall not be deemed inconsistent to the extent they do not represent an amount of Securities in excess of those held in the name of the Depositary or its nominee. If at any time the Depositary for any Securities represented by one or more Global Securities notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Securities or if at any time the Depositary for such Securities shall no 24 longer be eligible under this Section 313, the Company shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to such Securities. If a successor Depositary for such Securities is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company's election that such Securities be represented by one or more Global Securities shall no longer be effective and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities, will authenticate and deliver Securities in definitive registered form, in any authorized denominations, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing such Securities in exchange for such Global Security or Securities. The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Securities issued in the form of one or more Global Securities shall no longer be represented by a Global Security or Securities. In such event the Company shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order or an Officers' Certificate for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities, shall authenticate and deliver, Securities in definitive registered form, in any authorized denominations, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing such Securities, in exchange for such Global Security or Securities. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture (other than the provisions set forth in Section 314(a)), Global Securities may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. Interests of beneficial owners in Global Security may be transferred or exchanged for definitive Securities and definitive Securities may be transferred or exchange for Global Securities in accordance with rules of the Depositary and the provisions of Section 315. Any Security in global form may be endorsed with or have incorporated in the text thereof such legends or recitals or changes not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture as may be required by the Custodian, the Depositary or by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. in order for the Securities to be tradeable on the PORTAL Market or as may be required for the Securities to be tradeable on any other market developed for trading of securities pursuant to Rule 144A or required to comply with any applicable law or any regulation thereunder or with Regulation S or with the rules and regulations of any securities exchange upon which the Securities may be listed or traded or to conform with any usage with respect thereto, or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular Securities are subject. SECTION 314. Restrictive Legend. (a) Each Global Security and definitive Security that constitutes a Restricted Security shall bear the following legend (the "Private Placement Legend") on the 25 face thereof until three years after the later of the date of original issue and the last date on which the Company or any affiliate of the Company was the owner of such Capital Securities (or any predecessor thereto) (the "Resale Restriction Termination Date"), unless otherwise agreed by the Company and the Holder thereof: "THIS SECURITY (OR ITS PREDECESSOR) HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND NEITHER THIS SECURITY NOR ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION HEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION THEREFROM. EACH PURCHASER OF THIS SECURITY IS HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT THE SELLER MAY BE RELYING ON THE EXEMPTION FROM THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5 OF THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144A THEREUNDER. THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, REPRESENTS, ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMPANY THAT: (I) IT HAS ACQUIRED A "RESTRICTED" SECURITY WHICH HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT; (II) IT WILL NOT OFFER, SELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THIS SECURITY PRIOR TO THE LATER OF THE DATE WHICH IS THREE YEARS AFTER THE DATE OF ORIGINAL ISSUANCE HEREOF AND THE LAST DATE ON WHICH THE COMPANY OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE COMPANY WAS THE OWNER OF SUCH RESTRICTED SECURITIES (OR ANY PREDECESSOR) EXCEPT (A) TO THE COMPANY, (B) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WHICH HAS BEEN DECLARED EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (C) FOR SO LONG AS THIS SECURITY IS ELIGIBLE FOR RESALE PURSUANT TO RULE 144A, TO A PERSON WHO THE SELLER REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A "QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER" (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144A, (D) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 904 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR (E) PURSUANT TO ANOTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND, IN EACH CASE, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OR ANY APPLICABLE JURISDICTION; AND (III) IT WILL, AND EACH SUBSEQUENT HOLDER IS REQUIRED TO, NOTIFY ANY PURCHASER FROM IT OF THIS SECURITY OF THE RESALE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN (II) ABOVE, ANY OFFER, SALE OR OTHER DISPOSITION PURSUANT TO THE FOREGOING CLAUSES (II)(D) AND (E) IS SUBJECT TO THE RIGHT OF THE ISSUER OF THIS SECURITY AND THE PROPERTY TRUSTEE FOR SUCH SECURITIES TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, CERTIFICATIONS OR OTHER INFORMATION ACCEPTABLE TO THEM IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE." 26 Any Security (or security issued in exchange or substitution therefor) as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms may, upon satisfaction of the requirements of Section 314(b) and surrender of such Security for exchange to the Security registrar in accordance with the provisions of this Section 314, be exchanged for a new Security or Securities, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, which shall not bear the restrictive legend required by this Section 314(a). (b) Upon any sale or transfer of any Restricted Security (including any interest in a Global Security) (i) that is effected pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (ii) in connection with which the Trustee receives certificates and other information (including an opinion of counsel, if requested) reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Trustee to the effect that such security will no longer be subject to the resale restrictions under federal and state securities laws, then (A) in the case of a Restricted Security in definitive form, the Security registrar or co-registrar shall permit the holder thereof to exchange such Restricted Security for a security that does not bear the legend set forth in Section 314(a), and shall rescind any such restrictions on transfer and (B) in the case of Restricted Securities represented by a Global Security, such Security shall no longer be subject to the restrictions contained in the legend set forth in Section 314(a) (but still subject to the other provisions hereof). In addition, any Security (or security issued in exchange or substitution therefor) as to which the restrictions on transfer described in the legend set forth in Section 314(a) have expired by their terms, may, upon surrender thereof (in accordance with the terms of this Indenture) together with such certifications and other information (including an opinion of counsel having substantial experience in practice under the Securities Act and otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Company, addressed to the Company and the Trustee and in a form acceptable to the Company, to the effect that the transfer of such Restricted Security has been made in compliance with Rule 144 or such successor provision) acceptable to the Company and the Trustee as either of them may reasonably require, be exchanged for a new Security or Securities of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, which shall not bear the restrictive legends set forth in Section 314(a). SECTION 315. Special Transfer Provisions. At any time at the request of the beneficial holder of an interest in a Security in global form, such beneficial holder shall be entitled to obtain a definitive Security upon written request to the Trustee in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Trustee for the issuance thereof. Any transfer of a beneficial interest in a Security in global form which cannot be effected through book-entry settlement must be effected by the delivery to the transferee (or its nominee) of a definitive Security or Securities registered in the name of the transferee (or its nominee) on the books maintained by the Trustee. With respect to any such transfer, the Trustee will cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Trustee, the aggregate principal amount of the Security in global form to be reduced and, following such reduction, the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver to the transferee (or such transferee's nominee, as the case may be), a Security or Securities in the appropriate aggregate principal amount in the name of such transferee (or its nominee) and bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this Indenture. In 27 connection with any such transfer, the Trustee may request such representations and agreements relating to the restrictions on transfer of such Security or Securities from such transferee (or such transferee's nominee) as the Trustee may reasonably require. So long as the Securities are eligible for book-entry settlement, or unless otherwise required by law, upon any transfer of a definitive Security to a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A, unless otherwise requested by the transferor, and upon receipt of the definitive Security or Securities being so transferred, together with a certification from the transferor that the transferor reasonably believes the transferee is a QIB (or other evidence satisfactory to the Trustee), the Trustee shall make an endorsement on the Restricted Global Security to reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Securities represented by the Restricted Global Security, the Trustee shall cancel such definitive Security or Securities and cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Trustee, the aggregate principal amount of Securities represented by the Restricted Global Security to be increased accordingly. So long as the Securities are eligible for book-entry settlement, or unless otherwise required by law, upon any transfer of a definitive Security in accordance with Regulation S, if requested by the transferor, and upon receipt of the definitive Security or Securities being so transferred, together with a certification from the transferor that the transfer was made in accordance with Rule 903 or 904 of Regulation S or Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or other evidence satisfactory to the Trustee), the Trustee shall make or direct the Custodian to make, an endorsement on the Regulation S Global Security to reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Securities represented by the Regulation S Global Security, the Trustee shall cancel such definitive Security or Securities and cause, or direct the Custodian to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Custodian, the aggregate principal amount of Securities represented by the Regulation S Global Security to be increased accordingly. If a holder of a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security wishes at any time to exchange its interest in the Restricted Global Security for an interest in the Regulation S Global Security, or to transfer its interest in the Restricted Global Security to a person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in the Regulation S Global Security, such holder may, subject to the rules and procedures of the Depositary and to the requirements set forth in the following sentence, exchange or cause the exchange or transfer or cause the transfer of such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security. Upon receipt by the Trustee, as transfer agent of (1) instructions given in accordance with the Depositary's procedures from or on behalf of a holder of a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security, directing the Trustee (via DWAC), as transfer agent, to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security to be exchanged or transferred, (2) a written order given in accordance with the Depositary's procedures containing information regarding the Euroclear or Cedel account to be credited with such increase and the name of such account, and (3) a certificate given by the holder of such beneficial interest stating that the exchange or transfer of such interest has been made pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 903 or Rule 904 of Regulation S or Rule 28 144 under the Securities Act (or other evidence satisfactory to the Trustee), the Trustee, as transfer agent, shall promptly deliver appropriate instructions to the Depositary (via DWAC), its nominee, or the custodian for the Depositary, as the case may be, to reduce or reflect on its records a reduction of the Restricted Global Security by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in such Restricted Global Security to be so exchanged or transferred from the relevant participant, and the Trustee, as transfer agent, shall promptly deliver appropriate instructions (via DWAC) to the Depositary, its nominee, or the custodian for the Depositary, as the case may be, concurrently with such reduction, to increase or reflect on its records an increase of the principal amount of such Regulation S Global Security by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in such Restricted Global Security to be so exchanged or transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the person specified in such instructions (who may be Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, Brussels office, as operator of Euroclear or Cedel or another agent member of Euroclear or Cedel, or both, as the case may be, acting for and on behalf of them) a beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Security equal to the reduction in the principal amount of such Restricted Global Security. If a holder of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security wishes at any time to exchange its interest in the Regulation S Global Security for an interest in the Restricted Global Security, or to transfer its interest in the Regulation S Global Security to a person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in the Restricted Global Security, such holder may, subject to the rules and procedures of Euroclear or Cedel and the Depositary, as the case may be, and to the requirements set forth in the following sentence, exchange or cause the exchange or transfer or cause the transfer of such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in such Restricted Global Security. Upon receipt by the Trustee, as transfer agent of (l) instructions given in accordance with the procedures of Euroclear or Cedel and the Depositary, as the case may be, from or on behalf of a beneficial owner of an interest in the Regulation S Global Security directing the Trustee, as transfer agent, to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security to be exchanged or transferred, (2) a written order given in accordance with the procedures of Euroclear or Cedel and the Depositary, as the case may be, containing information regarding the account with the Depositary to be credited with such increase and the name of such account, and (3) prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, a certificate given by the holder of such beneficial interest and stating that the person transferring such interest in such Regulation S Global Security reasonably believes that the person acquiring such interest in the Restricted Global Security is a QIB and is obtaining such beneficial interest in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A and any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States or any other jurisdiction (or other evidence satisfactory to the Trustee), the Trustee, as transfer agent, shall promptly deliver (via DWAC) appropriate instructions to the Depositary, its nominee, or the custodian for the Depositary, as the case may be, to reduce or reflect on its records a reduction of the Regulation S Global Security by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Security to be exchanged or transferred, and the Trustee, as transfer agent, shall promptly deliver (via DWAC) appropriate instructions to the Depositary, its nominee, or the custodian for the Depositary, as the case may be, concurrently with such reduction, to increase or reflect on its records an increase of the 29 principal amount of the Restricted Global Security by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security to be so exchanged or transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security equal to the reduction in the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Security. After the expiration of the Restricted Period (as defined below), the certification requirement set forth in clause (3) of the second sentence of the above paragraph will no longer apply to such exchanges and transfers. Any beneficial interest in one of the Global Securities that is transferred to a person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in the other Global Security will, upon transfer, cease to be an interest in such Global Security and become an interest in the other Global Security and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Security for as long as it remains such an interest. Prior to or on the 40th day after the later of the commencement of the offering of the Capital Securities and the Closing Date (the "Restricted Period"), beneficial interests in a Regulation S Global Security may only be held through Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, Brussels office, as operator of Euroclear or Cedel or another agent member of Euroclear and Cedel acting for and on behalf of them, unless delivery is made through the Restricted Global Security in accordance with the certification requirements hereof. During the Restricted Period, interests in the Regulation S Global Security, if any, may be exchanged for interests in the Restricted Global Security or for definitive Securities only in accordance with the certification requirements described above. ARTICLE FOUR SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE; DEFEASANCE SECTION 401. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.

ARTICLE FIVE REMEDIES SECTION 501. Events of Default. "Event of Default" wherever used herein, means any one of the following events that has occurred and is continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be occasioned by the provisions of Article Eleven or be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body): (1) failure for 30 days to pay any interest on the Securities when due (subject to the deferral of any due date in the case of an Extension Period); or 33 (2) failure to pay any principal on the Securities when due, whether at Maturity, upon redemption, by declaration of acceleration or otherwise; (3) failure to observe or perform in any material respect any other covenant herein that continues 90 days after written notice to the Company from the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities; or (4) entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (A) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or (B) a decree or order adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company under any applicable Federal or State law, at appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or of substantially all of the property of the Company, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 90 consecutive days; or (5) (A) the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or (B) the consent by the Company or to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of itself in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against the Company, or (C) the filing by the Company of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable Federal or State law, or (D) the consent by the Company to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or of all or substantially all of the property of the Company, or (E) the making by the Company of an assignment for the benefit of creditors. SECTION 502. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. SECTION 503. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee The Company covenants that if (1) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or (2) default is made in the payment of the principal of any Security at the Maturity thereof, the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal and interest, and, to the extent that payment thereof shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and on any overdue interest, at the rate borne by the Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders 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. 35 SECTION 504. Trustee may File Proofs of Claim. In case of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other similar judicial proceeding relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), its property or its creditors, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act 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 is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607. No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganizations, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. SECTION 505. Trustee may Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trust without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of any express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. SECTION 506. Application of Money Collected. Subject to Article Eleven, any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof, if fully paid; FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 607; and SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and interest on the Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable as such Securities for principal and interest, respectively. 36 SECTION 507. Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Security shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless (1) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default; (2) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; (3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; (4) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and (5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities; it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders. SECTION 508. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal and Interest; Capital Security Holders' Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and (subject to Section 307) interest on such Security on the Stated Maturity expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. If an Event of Default constituting the failure to pay interest or principal on the Securities on the date such interest or principal is otherwise payable has occurred and is continuing, then a holder of Capital Securities may directly institute a proceeding (a "Direct Action") for enforcement of payment to such holder directly of the principal of or interest on the Securities having a principal amount equal to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Capital Securities as such holder on or after the respective due date specified in the Securities. The Company may not amend this Section without the prior written consent of the 37 holders of all of the Capital Securities. Notwithstanding any payment made to such holder of Capital Securities by the Company in connection with such a Direct Action, the Company shall remain obligated to pay the principal of or interest on the Securities held by the Trust or the Property Trustee and the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the holder of such Capital Securities with respect to payments on the Capital Securities to the extent of any payments made by the Company to such holder in any Direct Action. The holders of Capital Securities will not be able to exercise directly any other remedy available to the Holders of the Securities. SECTION 509. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. SECTION 510. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 306, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. SECTION 511. Delay or Omission not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. SECTION 512. Control by Holders. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, provided that 38 (1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture; and (2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. SECTION 513. Waiver of Past Defaults. Subject to Sections 902 and 1008 hereof, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities waive any past default hereunder and its consequences, except a default (1) in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security (unless such default has been cured and a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest and principal due otherwise than by acceleration has been deposited with the Trustee); or (2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such waiver or modification to such waiver shall not be effective until the holders of a majority in liquidation preference of Capital Securities shall have consented to such waiver or modification to such waiver; PROVIDED FURTHER, that if the consent of the Holder of each of the Outstanding Securities is required, such waiver shall not be effective until each holder of the Capital Securities shall have consented to such waiver. Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, effective as of the date specified in such waiver (and effective retroactively to the date of default, if so specified) and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. SECTION 514. Undertaking for Costs. 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, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and any assess costs against any such party litigant, in the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act; PROVIDED, that neither this Section nor the Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Company or the Trustee or in any suit for the enforcement of the right to receive the principal of and interest on any Security. 39 SECTION 515. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. ARTICLE SIX TRUSTEE SECTION 601. Certain Duties and Responsibilities. The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee shall be as provided by the Trust Indenture Act. Notwithstanding 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.

As security for the performance of such obligations of the Company, the Trustee shall have a claim prior to the Securities upon all property and lands held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of (and premiums, if any, on) or interest on particular Securities.

With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, by Act of said Holders delivered to the Company and the Trustee, the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders under this Indenture; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby, (1) except to the extent permitted and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 301 with respect to the extension of the Stated Maturity of the Securities, change the Stated Maturity of, the principal of, or any installment of interest on, any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon, or change the place of payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any Security or interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date), or modify the provisions of this Indenture with respect to the subordination of the Securities in a manner adverse to the Holders, (2) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, the consent of whose Holders is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of whose Holders is required for any waiver (of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and their consequences) provided for in this Indenture, or (3) modify any of the provisions of this Section, Section 513 or Section 1008, except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby; PROVIDED, that, so long as any of the Capital Securities remains outstanding, no such amendment shall be made that adversely affects the holders of the Capital Securities, and no termination of this Indenture shall occur, and no waiver of any Event of Default or compliance with any covenant under this Indenture shall be effective, without the prior consent of the holders of at least a majority of the aggregate liquidation preference of the outstanding Capital Securities unless and until the principal of and any premium on the Securities and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon have been paid in full. It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof. SECTION 903. Execution of Supplemental Indentures. 49 In executing, or accepting the additional trust created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. SECTION 904. Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby. SECTION 905. Conformity With Trust Indenture Act. Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act. SECTION 906. Reference in Securities to Supplemental Indentures. Securities authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Securities so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Company, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities. ARTICLE TEN COVENANTS SECTION 1001. Payment of Principal and Interest. The Company will duly and punctually pay the principal of and interest on the Securities in accordance with the terms of the Securities and this Indenture. SECTION 1002. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company will maintain in The City of New York an office or agency where Securities may be presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, where Securities may be surrendered for conversion and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served. The 50 Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies in the United States where the Securities may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the United States for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. SECTION 1003. Money for Security Payments to be Held in Trust. If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent, it will, on, or at the option of the Company, or before each due date of the principal of or interest on any of the Securities, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal or 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 of its action or failure so to act. In such case the Company shall not invest the amount so segregated and held in trust pending the distribution thereof. Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents, it will, on or prior to each due date of the principal of or interest on any Securities, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any such deposit on a due date shall be initiated prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York time) in same-day funds. The Company will cause each Paying Agent 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, 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 as such. 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 the 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 51 Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Payment Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal or interest that has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall 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. SECTION 1004. Statements by Officers as to Default. The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof, an Officers' Certificate, stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the signers thereof the Company is in default in the performance and observance of any of the material 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 1005. Existence. Subject to Article Eight, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders and, while any Capital Securities are outstanding, the holders of the Capital Securities. SECTION 1006. Maintenance of Properties. The Company will cause all properties used or useful in the conduct of its business or the business of any Subsidiary to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order and supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of the Company may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that nothing in this Section shall prevent the Company from discontinuing the operation or maintenance of any such properties if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Company, desirable in the conduct of its business or the business of any Subsidiary and not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders. 52 SECTION 1007. Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. The Company will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, (1) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Company or any Subsidiary or upon the income, profits or property of the Company or any Subsidiary, and (2) all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon the property of the Company or any Subsidiary that comprise more than 10% of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings. SECTION 1008. Waiver of Certain Covenants. Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities, the Company may, with respect to the Securities, omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in any covenant provided pursuant to Section 901(2) for the benefit of the Holders if before the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect. SECTION 1009. Payment of the Trust's Costs and Expenses. Since the Trust is being formed solely to facilitate an investment in the Securities, the Company, in its capacity as the issuer of the Securities, hereby covenants to pay all debts and obligations (other than with respect to the Capital Securities and Common Securities) and all costs and expenses of the Trust (including, but not limited to, all costs and expenses relating to the organization of the Trust, the fees and expenses of the Trustees and all costs and expenses relating to the operation of the Trust) and to pay any and all taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature (other than withholding taxes) imposed on the Trust by the United States, or any other taxing authority, so that the net amounts received and retained by the Trust and the Property Trustee after paying such expenses will be equal to the amounts the Trust and the Property Trustee would have received had no such costs or expenses been incurred by or imposed on the Trust. The foregoing obligations of the Company are for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, any person to whom any such debts, obligations, costs, expenses and taxes are owed (each, a "Creditor") whether or not such Creditor has received notice thereof. Any such Creditor may enforce such obligations of the Company directly against the Company, and the Company irrevocably waives any right or remedy to require that any such Creditor take any action against the Trust or any other person before proceeding against the Company. The Company shall execute such additional agreements as may be necessary or desirable to give full effect to the foregoing. The obligations of the Company to pay all the debts, obligations, costs and 53 expenses of the Trust (other than with respect to the Capital Securities and the Common Securities) shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. ARTICLE ELEVEN SUBORDINATION OF SECURITIES SECTION 1101. Securities Subordinate to Indebtedness. The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of a Security, by his acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Article (subject to Article Four), the payment of the principal of and 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 in cash of all Indebtedness. This Article Eleven shall constitute a continuing offer to all persons who become holders of, or continue to hold, Indebtedness, and such provisions are made for the benefit of the holders of Indebtedness and such holders are made obligees hereunder and any one or more of them may enforce such provisions. Holders of Indebtedness need not prove reliance on the subordination provisions hereof. SECTION 1102. Default on Indebtedness. In the event and during the continuation of any default in the payment of principal, premium, interest or any other payment due on any Indebtedness, or in the event that any event of default with respect to any Indebtedness shall have occurred and be continuing and shall have resulted in such Indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable (unless and until such event of default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist and such acceleration shall have been rescinded or annulled) or in the event any judicial proceeding shall be pending with respect to any such default in payment or such event of default, then no payment shall be made by the Company with respect to the principal (including redemption payments) of, or interest on, the Securities. In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment shall be received by the Trustee or any Holder when such payment is prohibited by the preceding paragraph of this Section 1102, such payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders of Indebtedness or their respective representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any of such Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, but only to the extent that the holders of the Indebtedness (or their representative or representatives or a trustee) notify the Trustee within 90 days of such payment of the amounts then due and owing on the Indebtedness and only the amounts specified in such notice to the Trustee shall be paid to the holders of Indebtedness. 54 SECTION 1103. Prior Payment of Indebtedness Upon Acceleration of Securities. In the event that the Securities are declared due and payable before their Stated Maturity, then and in such event the holders of the Indebtedness outstanding at the time such Securities so become due and payable shall be entitled to receive payment in full of all amounts then due on or in respect of such Indebtedness (including any amounts due upon acceleration), or provision shall be made for such payment in cash or cash equivalents or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the holders of Indebtedness, before the Holders of the Securities are entitled to receive any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, properties or securities, by the Company on account of the principal of or interest on the Securities or on account of the purchase or other acquisition of Securities by the Company or any Subsidiary; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that holders of Indebtedness shall not be entitled to receive payment of any such amounts to the extent that such holders would be required by the subordination provisions of such Indebtedness to pay such amounts over to the obligees on trade accounts payable or other liabilities arising in the ordinary course of the Company's business. In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment shall be received by the Trustee or any Holder when such payment is prohibited by the preceding paragraph of this Section 1103, such payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders of Indebtedness or their respective representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any of such Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, but only to the extent that the holders of the Indebtedness (or their representative or representatives or a trustee) notify the Trustee within 90 days of such payment of the amounts then due and owing on the Indebtedness and only the amounts specified in such notice to the Trustee shall be paid to the holders of Indebtedness. SECTION 1104. Liquidation; Dissolution; Bankruptcy. Upon any payment by the Company, or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to creditors upon any dissolution or winding-up or liquidation or reorganization of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other proceedings, all principal of, and premium, if any, and interest due or to become due upon all Indebtedness (including interest after the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other proceedings at the rate specified in the applicable Indebtedness, whether or not such interest is an allowable claim in any such proceeding) shall first be paid in full, or payment thereof provided for in money in accordance with its terms, before any payment is made on account of the principal or interest on the Securities; and upon any such dissolution or winding-up or liquidation or reorganization any payment by the Company, or distribution of substantially all of the assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled, except for the provisions of this Article Eleven, shall be paid by the Company or by any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, or by the Holders of the Securities or by the Trustee under this Indenture if received by them or 55 it, directly to the holders of Indebtedness (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the respective amounts of Indebtedness held by such holders, as calculated by the Company) or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, to the extent necessary to pay all Indebtedness in full (including interest after the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other proceedings at the rate specified in the applicable Indebtedness, whether or not such interest is in an allowable claim in any such proceeding) or to provide for such payment in money in accordance with its terms, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Indebtedness, before any payment or distribution is made to the Holders of Securities or to the Trustee; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such holders of Indebtedness shall not be entitled to receive payment of any such amounts to the extent that such holders would be required by the subordination provisions of such Indebtedness to pay such amounts over to the obligees on trade accounts payable or other liabilities arising in the ordinary course of the Company's business. In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, prohibited by the foregoing, shall be received by the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities before all Indebtedness is paid in full (including interest after commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other proceedings at the rate specified in the applicable Indebtedness, whether or not such interest is an allowable claim in any such proceeding), or provision is made for such payment in money in accordance with its terms, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of and shall be paid over or delivered to the holders of Indebtedness or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, as calculated by the Company, for application to the payment of all Indebtedness remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay all Indebtedness in full in money in accordance with its terms, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of such Indebtedness. Any holder of Indebtedness may file any proof of claim or similar instrument on behalf of the Trustee and the Holders if such instrument has not been filed by the date which is 30 days prior to the date specified for filing thereof. For purposes of this Article Eleven, the words "cash, property or securities" shall not be deemed to include shares of stock of the Company as reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment, the payment of which is subordinated at least to the extent provided in this Article Eleven with respect to the Securities to the payment of all Indebtedness that may at the time be outstanding, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) the Indebtedness is assumed by the new corporation, if any, resulting from any such reorganization or readjustment, and (ii) the rights of the holders of the Indebtedness are not, without the consent of such holders, altered by such reorganization or readjustment. The consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, another corporation or the liquidation or 56 dissolution of the Company following the conveyance or transfer of its property as an entirety, or substantially as an entirety, to another corporation upon the terms and conditions provided for in Article Eight hereof shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization for the purposes of this Section 1103 if such other corporation shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, comply with the conditions stated in Article Eight hereof. Nothing in Section 1102 or in this Section 1103 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 607. SECTION 1105. Subrogation. Subject to the payment in full of all Indebtedness to the extent provided in Sections 1103 and 1104, the rights of the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company applicable to the Indebtedness until the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities shall be paid in full; and, for the purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of the Indebtedness 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 Eleven, shall, as between the Company, its creditors other than holders of Indebtedness, and the Holders of the Securities, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of the Indebtedness. It is understood that the provisions of this Article Eleven are and are intended solely for the purposes of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities, on the one hand, and the holders of the Indebtedness on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Article Eleven or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall impair, as between the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Indebtedness, and the Holders of the Securities, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities and creditors of the Company other than the holders of the Indebtedness, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article Eleven of the holders of Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy. Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article Eleven, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 601, and the Holders of the Securities, shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending, or a certificate of the receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidation trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of the Securities, for the purposes of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company, the 57 amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article Eleven. SECTION 1106. Trustee to Effectuate Subordination. Each Holder of a Security by acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on such Holder's behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this Article Eleven and appoints the Trustee such Holder's attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. SECTION 1107. Notice by the Company. 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 of monies to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities pursuant to the provisions of this Article Eleven. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article Eleven 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 of monies to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities pursuant to the provisions of this Article Eleven, unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee from the Company or a holder or holders of Indebtedness or from any trustee therefor; and before the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 601, shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the Trustee shall not have received the notice provided for in this Section 1106 at least two Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any money may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security), then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such money and to apply the same to the purposes 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. The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 601, shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing himself to be a holder of Indebtedness (or a trustee on behalf of such holder) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of Indebtedness or a trustee on behalf of any such holder or holders. 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 Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article Eleven, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Indebtedness 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 Eleven, 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. 58 SECTION 1108. Rights of the Trustee; Holders of Indebtedness. The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article Eleven in respect of any Indebtedness at any time held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Indebtedness, and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. With respect to the holders of Indebtedness, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article Eleven, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Indebtedness shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Indebtedness and, subject to the provisions of Section 601, the Trustee shall not be liable to any holder of Indebtedness if it shall pay over or deliver to holders of Securities, the Company or any other Person money or assets to which any holder of Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article Eleven or otherwise. SECTION 1109. Subordination may not be Impaired. No right of any present or future holder of any Indebtedness 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 otherwise be charged with. Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, the holders of Indebtedness may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities, without incurring responsibility to the Holders of the Securities and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article or the obligations hereunder of the Holders of the Securities to the holders of Indebtedness, 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, Indebtedness or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner Indebtedness or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which Indebtedness is outstanding; (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Indebtedness; (iii) release any Person liable in any manner for the collection of Indebtedness; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Company and any other Person. 59 ARTICLE TWELVE REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES SECTION 1201. Optional Redemption; Conditions to Optional Redemption. At any time on or after December 1, 2006, the Company shall have the right, subject to the last paragraph of this Section 1201 and to the receipt of any necessary prior approval of the Federal Reserve, to redeem the Securities, in whole or in part, from time to time, at the Redemption Prices (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of such Securities) set forth below, plus any accrued but unpaid interest to the Redemption Date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on the December 1 of the years indicated below: Year Percentage 2006 104.030% 2007 103.627% 2008 103.224% 2009 102.821% 2010 102.418% 2011 102.015% 2012 101.612% 2013 101.209% 2014 100.806% 2015 100.403% On or after December 1, 2016, the Redemption Price will be 100%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Redemption Date.

For so long as the Trust is the Holder of all Securities Outstanding, the proceeds of any redemption described in this Section 1201 shall be used by the Trust to redeem Common Securities and Capital Securities in accordance with their terms.

SECTION 1202. Applicability of Article. Redemption of Securities at the election of the Company, as permitted by Section 1201, shall be made in accordance with such provision and this Article. SECTION 1203. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. The election of the Company to redeem Securities pursuant to Section 1201 shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company, the Company shall, at least 45 (unless a shorter notice period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) days and no more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company, notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Securities to be redeemed and provide a copy of the notice of redemption given to Holders of Securities to be redeemed pursuant to Section 1205. SECTION 1204. Selection by Trustee of Securities to be Redeemed. If less than all the Securities are to be redeemed (unless such redemption affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected by lot (or such other method of selection as the Trustee may customarily employ) not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities not previously called for redemption. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption as aforesaid and, in case of any Securities selected for partial redemption as aforesaid, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. The provisions of the two preceding paragraphs 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 than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security. 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 Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has been or is to be redeemed. SECTION 1205. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at his address appearing in the Security Register. 61 All notices of redemption shall identify the Securities to be redeemed (including CUSIP number) and shall state: (1) the Redemption Date, (2) the Redemption Price, (3) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed and that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date, and (4) the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price. Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed 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. SECTION 1206. Deposit of Redemption Price. On or prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any such deposit on a Redemption Date shall be initiated prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York time) in same-day funds. SECTION 1207. Securities Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307. If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by the Security. SECTION 1208. Securities Redeemed in Part. 62 Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a place of payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder therefor or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered. 63 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. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Indenture to be duly executed, and their respective corporate seals to be hereunto affixed and attested, all as of the day and year first above written.
