DISTRIBUTIONS; REDEMPTION

SECTION 4.1. Distributions.

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

(i) Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be cumulative and will accumulate whether or not there are funds of the Issuer Trust available for the payment of Distributions. Distributions shall accumulate from the date of issue of the Trust Securities, and, except in the event (and to the extent) that the Depositor exercises its right to defer the payment of interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures pursuant to

- 18 -

the Indenture, shall be payable quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year, commencing on December 31, 2002. If any date on which a Distribution is otherwise payable on the Trust Securities is not a Business Day, then the payment of such Distribution shall be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (without any additional Distributions or other payment in respect of any such delay), except that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on the date on which such payment was originally payable (each date on which distributions are payable in accordance with this Section 4.1(a), a “Distribution Date”).

(ii) The Trust Securities shall be entitled to Distributions payable at a floating rate, reset quarterly on each Distribution Date for the next succeeding quarter, equal to the prime rate of interest so published in the “Money Rates” table in the Eastern Edition of The Wall Street Journal for the last Business Day of each of March, June, September and December, as applicable, plus 100 basis points on the liquidation amount of each Trust Security (“Floating Rate”). If more than one rate is so indicated in The Wall Street Journal, the prime rate shall equal the highest rate provided therein. The amount of Distributions payable for any full quarterly period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The amount of Distributions for any period less than a full quarter shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed during that period. The amount of Distributions payable for any period shall include any Additional Amounts in respect of such period.

(iii) So long as no Debenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Depositor has the right under the Indenture to defer the payment of interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures at any time and from time to time for a period not exceeding 20 consecutive quarterly periods (an “Extension Period”), provided that no Extension Period may extend beyond December 31, 2032 or end on a date that is not a scheduled interest payment date. As a consequence of any such deferral, quarterly Distributions on the Trust Securities by the Issuer Trust will also be deferred and the amount of Distributions to which Holders of the Trust Securities are entitled will accumulate additional Distributions thereon at the Floating Rate, compounded quarterly, to the extent permitted by applicable law, from the relevant payment date for such Distributions, computed in the same manner as set forth for Distributions in subsection 4.1(a)(ii) immediately above. The term “Distributions” as used in Section 4.1 shall include any such additional Distributions provided pursuant to this Section 4.1(a)(iii).

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

(b) Distributions on the Trust Securities with respect to a Distribution Date shall be payable to the Holders thereof as they appear on the Securities Register for the Trust Securities at the close of business on the relevant record date, which shall be at the close of

- 19 -

business on the fifteenth day of the month in which the relevant Distribution Date occurs (or if such date is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day).

SECTION 4.2. Redemption.

(a) On each Debenture Redemption Date and on the stated maturity of the Junior Subordinated Debentures, the Issuer Trust will be required to redeem a Like Amount of Trust Securities at the Redemption Price.

(b) Notice of redemption shall be given by the Property Trustee by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Trust Securities to be redeemed, at such Holder’s address appearing in the Securities Register. All notices of redemption shall state:

(i) the Redemption Date;

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

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

(iv) if less than all the Outstanding Trust Securities are to be redeemed, the identification and the total Liquidation Amount of the particular Trust Securities to be redeemed;

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

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

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

- 20 -

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

(d) If the Issuer Trust gives a notice of redemption in respect of any Capital Securities, the Property Trustee will, by 12:00 noon, Eastern Time, on the Redemption Date, subject to Section 4.2(c), with respect to Capital Securities held in global form, irrevocably deposit with the Clearing Agency for such Capital Securities, to the extent available therefor, funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price and will give such Clearing Agency irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Redemption Price to the Holders of the Capital Securities. With respect to Capital Securities that are not held in global form, if any, the Property Trustee will, subject to Section 4.2(c), irrevocably deposit with the Paying Agent, to the extent available therefor, funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price and will give the Paying Agent irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Redemption Price to the Holders of the Capital Securities upon surrender of their Capital Securities Certificates or Restricted Securities Certificates, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Distributions payable on or prior to the Redemption Date for any Trust Securities called for redemption shall be payable to the Holders of such Trust Securities as they appear on the Securities Register for the Trust Securities on the relevant record dates for the related Distribution Dates. If notice of redemption shall have been given and funds deposited as required, then, upon the date of such deposit, all rights of Holders holding Trust Securities so called for redemption will cease, except the right of such Holders to receive the Redemption Price and any Distribution payable in respect of the Trust Securities on or prior to the Redemption Date, but without interest, and such Trust Securities will cease to be Outstanding. In the event that any date on which any applicable Redemption Price is payable is not a Business Day, then payment of the applicable Redemption Price payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay), except that, if such Business Day falls in the next calendar year, such payment will be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case, with the same force and effect as if made on such date. In the event that payment of the Redemption Price in respect of any Trust Securities called for redemption is improperly withheld or refused and not paid either by the Issuer Trust or by the Depositor pursuant to the Guarantee, Distributions on such Trust Securities will continue to accumulate, as set forth in Section 4.1 and in accordance with the continued accrual of interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures, from the Redemption Date originally established by the Issuer Trust for such Trust Securities to the date such applicable Redemption Price is actually paid, in which case the actual payment date will be the date fixed for redemption for purposes of calculating the applicable Redemption Price.

(e) Subject to Section 4.3(a), if less than all the Outstanding Trust Securities are to be redeemed on a Redemption Date, then the aggregate Liquidation Amount of such Trust Securities to be redeemed shall be allocated pro rata to the Common Securities and the Capital Securities based on the relative aggregate Liquidation Amounts of such classes. The particular Capital Securities to be redeemed shall be selected on a pro rata basis based on their respective

- 21 -

Liquidation Amounts not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Property Trustee from the Outstanding Capital Securities not previously called for redemption, or if the Capital Securities are then held in the form of a Global Preferred Security in accordance with the customary procedures for the Clearing Agency. The Property Trustee shall promptly notify the Securities Registrar in writing of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of Capital Securities to be redeemed and the particular Capital Securities selected for redemption. For all purposes of this Trust Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Capital Securities shall relate, in the case of any Capital Securities redeemed, to the portion of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of Capital Securities that has been or is to be redeemed.

SECTION 4.3. Subordination of Common Securities.

(a) Payment of Distributions (including Additional Amounts, if applicable) on, the Redemption Price of, and the Liquidation Distribution in respect of, the Trust Securities, as applicable, shall be made, as set forth in Section 4.2(e), pro rata among the Common Securities and the Capital Securities based on the Liquidation Amount of such Trust Securities; provided, however, that if on any Distribution Date or Redemption Date any Event of Default resulting from a Debenture Event of Default in Sections 5.1(1) or 5.1(2) of the Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, no payment of any Distribution (including any Additional Amounts) on, Redemption Price of, or Liquidation Distribution in respect of, any Common Security, and no other payment on account of the redemption, liquidation or other acquisition of Common Securities, shall be made, unless payment in full in cash of all accumulated and unpaid Distributions (including any Additional Amounts) on all Outstanding Capital Securities for all Distribution periods terminating on or prior thereto, or, in the case of payment of the Redemption Price, the full amount of such Redemption Price on all Outstanding Capital Securities then called for redemption, or in the case of payment of the Liquidation Distribution, the full amount of such Liquidation Distribution on all Outstanding Capital Securities, shall have been made or provided for, and all funds immediately available to the Property Trustee shall first be applied to the payment in full in cash of all Distributions (including any Additional Amounts) on, or the Redemption Price of, or Liquidation Distribution in respect of, Capital Securities then due and payable. The existence of an Event of Default does not entitle the Holders of Capital Securities to accelerate the maturity thereof.

(b) In the case of the occurrence of any Event of Default resulting from any Debenture Event of Default, the Holder of the Common Securities shall be deemed to have waived any right to act with respect to any such Event of Default under this Trust Agreement until the effects of all such Events of Default with respect to the Capital Securities have been cured, waived or otherwise eliminated. Until all such Events of Default under this Trust Agreement with respect to the Capital Securities have been so cured, waived or otherwise eliminated, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Property Trustee shall act solely on behalf of the Holders of the Capital Securities and not on behalf of the Holder of the Common Securities, and only the Holders of the Capital Securities will have the right to direct the Property Trustee to act on their behalf.

Payments in respect of the Common Securities shall be made in such manner as shall be mutually agreed between the Property Trustee and the Holder of the Common Securities.

SECTION 4.5. Tax Returns and Reports.

On or before December 15 of each year during which any Capital Securities are Outstanding, the Administrators shall furnish to the Paying Agent such information as may be reasonably requested by the Property Trustee in order that the Property Trustee may prepare the information which it is required to report for such year on Internal Revenue Service Forms 1096 and 1099 pursuant to Section 6049 of the Code. Such information shall include the amount of original issue discount includable in income for each Outstanding Capital Security during such year, if any.

SECTION 5.1. Initial Ownership.

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

SECTION 5.2. The Trust Securities Certificates.

(a) The Trust Securities Certificates shall be issued in fully registered form. The Trust Securities Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer Trust by manual or facsimile signature of at least one Administrator. Trust Securities Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Issuer Trust, shall be validly issued and entitled to the benefits of this Trust Agreement, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so authorized prior to the delivery of such Trust Securities Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of delivery of such Trust Securities Certificates. A transferee of a Trust Securities Certificate shall become a Holder, and shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Holder hereunder, upon due registration of such Trust Securities Certificate in such transferee’s name pursuant to Section 5.5.

(b) Upon their original issuance, Capital Securities Certificates shall be issued in the form of one or more Global Capital Securities Certificates which initially shall bear a Restricted Capital Securities Legend, registered in the name of Cede as the Depositary’s nominee and deposited with or on behalf of Depositary for credit by Depositary to the respective accounts of the Owners thereof (or such other accounts as they may direct). Except as set forth herein, record ownership of the Global Capital Securities may be transferred, in whole or in part, only to another nominee of Depositary or to a successor of the Depository or its nominee.

(c) A single Common Securities Certificate representing the Common Securities shall be issued to the Depositor in the form of a definitive Common Securities Certificate.

SECTION 5.3. Execution and Delivery of Trust Securities Certificates.

At the Closing, an Administrator shall execute, on behalf of the Trust, Trust Securities Certificates, in an aggregate Liquidation Amount as provided in Sections 2.4 and 2.5,

- 24 -

and deliver such Trust Securities Certificates to the Property Trustee for authentication. Upon such delivery, the Property Trustee shall authenticate such Trust Securities Certificates and deliver such Trust Securities Certificates in authorized denominations upon the written order of the Trust, executed by an Administrator thereof, without further corporate action by the Depositor.

SECTION 5.4. Global Capital Securities.

(a) The Global Capital Security issued under this Trust Agreement shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as the nominee of the Clearing Agency and delivered to such custodian therefor, and such Global Capital Security shall constitute a single Capital Security for all purposes of this Trust Agreement, and it shall initially bear a Restricted Capital Securities Legend.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Trust Agreement, the Global Capital Security may not be exchanged in whole or in part for registered Capital Securities, and no transfer of the Global Capital Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Clearing Agency for such Global Capital Security, Cede & Co., or other nominee thereof unless: (i) such Clearing Agency advises the Depositor and the Property Trustee in writing that such Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as the Clearing Agency with respect to such Global Capital Security, and the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor within 90 days, (ii) at any time the Depositary ceases to be a Clearing Agency registered as such under the Exchange Act, or (iii) the Issuer Trust at its option advises the Depositary in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency.

(c) If the Global Capital Security is to be exchanged or canceled in whole, it shall be surrendered by or on behalf of the Clearing Agency or its nominee to the Securities Registrar for exchange or cancellation as provided in this Article V. If the Global Capital Security is to be exchanged or canceled in part, or if another Capital Security is to be exchanged in whole or in part for a beneficial interest in the Global Capital Security, then either: (i) such Global Capital Security shall be so surrendered for exchange or cancellation as provided in this Article V, or (ii) the Liquidation Amount thereof shall be reduced or increased by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged or canceled or equal to the Liquidation Amount of such other Capital Security to be so exchanged for a beneficial interest therein, as the case may be, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Securities Registrar, whereupon the Property Trustee, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, shall instruct the Clearing Agency or its authorized representative to make a corresponding adjustment to its records. Upon any such surrender or adjustment of the Global Capital Security by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Property Trustee shall, subject to Section 5.4(b) and as otherwise provided in this Article V, authenticate and deliver any Capital Securities or Restricted Capital Securities, as applicable and as instructed by the Administrators, issuable in exchange for such Global Capital Security (or any portion thereof) in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. The Property Trustee shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, such instructions.

- 25 -

(d) Every Capital Security or Restricted Capital Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of, transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, the Global Capital Security or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Article V or Article IV or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Capital Security, unless such Global Capital Security is registered in the name of a Person other than the Clearing Agency for such Global Capital Security or a nominee thereof.

(e) The Clearing Agency or its nominee, as the registered owner of the Global Capital Security, shall be considered the Holder of the Capital Securities or the Restricted Capital Securities represented by the Global Capital Security for all purposes under this Trust Agreement and the Capital Securities, and owners of beneficial interests in the Global Capital Security shall hold such interests pursuant to the Applicable Procedures and, except as otherwise provided herein, shall not be entitled to have any of the individual Capital Securities or the Restricted Capital Securities represented by the Global Capital Security registered in their names, shall not receive nor be entitled to receive physical delivery of any such Capital Securities or the Restricted Capital Securities in definitive form and shall not be considered the Holders thereof under this Trust Agreement. Accordingly, any such owner’s beneficial interest in the Global Capital Security shall be shown only on, and the transfer of such interest shall be effected only through, records maintained by the Clearing Agency or its nominee. Neither the Property Trustee nor the Securities Registrar shall have any liability in respect of any transfers effected by the Clearing Agency.

(f) The rights of owners of beneficial interests in the Global Capital Security shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such owners and the Clearing Agency.

SECTION 5.5. Registration of Transfer and Exchange Generally; Certain Transfers and Exchanges; Capital Securities Certificates; Securities Act Legends.

(a) The Property Trustee shall keep or cause to be kept at its Corporate Trust Office a register or registers (the “Securities Register”) for the purpose of registering Capital Securities Certificates and Common Securities Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Capital Securities Certificates and Common Securities Certificates and acting as the registrar and transfer agent with respect to the Capital Securities and Common Securities Certificates (the “Securities Registrar”), subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, and shall provide for the registration of Capital Securities Certificates and Common Securities Certificates (subject to Section 5.11 in the case of Common Securities Certificates) in the Securities Register. The Property Trustee is hereby appointed Securities Registrar. The Securities Registrar shall maintain stop transfer instructions in the Securities Register and as it otherwise deems appropriate to restrict the transfer of Restricted Capital Securities consistent with the terms of this Agreement.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Capital Securities Certificate at the offices or agencies of the Property Trustee designated for that purpose, the Administrators shall execute, and the Property Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the

- 26 -

designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Capital Securities Certificates of the same series of any authorized denominations of like tenor and aggregate principal amount and bearing such restrictive legends (including the Restricted Capital Securities Legend) as may be required by this Trust Agreement.

At the option of the Holder, Capital Securities Certificates may be exchanged for other Capital Securities Certificates of any authorized denominations, of like tenor and aggregate Liquidation Amount and bearing such restrictive legends (including the Restricted Capital Securities Legend) as may be required by this Trust Agreement, upon surrender of the Capital Securities Certificates to be exchanged at such office or agency of the Property Trustee. Whenever any securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Administrators shall execute and the Property Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Capital Securities Certificates that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

All Capital Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange of Capital Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer Trust, evidencing the same obligations, and entitled to the same benefits under this Trust Agreement, as the Capital Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

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

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

Neither the Issuer Trust nor the Property Trustee shall be required, pursuant to the provisions of this Section: (i) to issue, register the transfer of, or exchange any Capital Securities Certificates during a period beginning at the opening of 15 Business Days before the day of selection for redemption of Capital Securities pursuant to Article IV and ending at the close of business on the day of mailing of the notice of redemption, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Capital Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any such Capital Security to be redeemed in part, any portion thereof not to be redeemed.

(b) Certain Transfers and Exchanges. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust Agreement, transfers and exchanges of Capital Securities and beneficial interests in a Global Capital Security shall be made only in accordance with this Section 5.5(b).

(i) Non-Global Restricted Capital Security to Global Capital Security. If the Holder of a Restricted Capital Security (other than the Global Capital Security) wishes at any time to transfer all or any portion of such Restricted Capital Security to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a

- 27 -

beneficial interest in the Global Capital Security, such transfer may be effected only in accordance with the provisions of this clause (b)(i) and subject to the Applicable Procedures. Upon receipt by the Securities Registrar of (A) such Restricted Capital Security as provided in Section 5.5(a) and instructions satisfactory to the Securities Registrar directing that a beneficial interest in the Global Capital Security in a specified Liquidation Amount not greater than the Liquidation Amount of such Restricted Capital Security to be credited to a specified Clearing Agency Participant’s account, and (B) a Restricted Securities Certificate duly executed for transfer by such Holder or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, then the Securities Registrar shall cancel such Restricted Capital Security (and issue a new Restricted Capital Security in respect of any untransferred portion thereof) as provided in Section 5.5(a) and increase the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Global Capital Security by the specified Liquidation Amount as provided in Section 5.4(c).

(ii) Non-Global Capital Security to Non-Global Capital Security. A Capital Security that is not a Global Capital Security may be transferred, in whole or in part, to a Person who takes delivery in the form of another Capital Security that is not a Global Capital Security as provided in Section 5.5(a), provided that if the Capital Security to be transferred in whole or in part is a Restricted Capital Security, the Securities Registrar shall have received a Restricted Securities Certificate duly executed by the transferor Holder or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing and the Securities Registrar shall only be required to register the transfer of such Restricted Securities Certificate upon direction from the Depositor that such transfer is permissible.

(iii) Exchanges Between Global Capital Security and Non-Global Capital Security. A beneficial interest in the Global Capital Security may be exchanged for a Capital Security that is not a Global Capital Security only as provided in Section 5.4.

(iv) Certain Initial Transfers of Non-Global Capital Securities. In the case of Capital Securities initially issued other than in global form, an initial transfer or exchange of such Capital Securities that does not involve any change in beneficial ownership may be made to an institutional accredited investor or investors as if such transfer or exchange were not an initial transfer or exchange; provided that written certification shall be provided by the transferee and transferor of such Capital Securities to the Securities Registrar that such transfer or exchange does not involve a change in beneficial ownership.

(v) Limitations Relating to Principal Amount. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust Agreement and unless otherwise specified as permitted by this Trust Agreement, Capital Securities or portions thereof may be transferred or exchanged only in principal amounts of not less than $50,000. Any transfer, exchange or other disposition of Capital Securities in contravention of this Section 5.5(b)(v) shall be deemed to be void and of no legal effect

- 28 -

whatsoever, any such transferee shall be deemed not to be the Holder or owner of any beneficial interest in such Capital Securities for any purpose, including but not limited to the receipt of interest payable on such Capital Securities, such transferee shall be deemed to have no interest whatsoever in such Capital Securities, and the Securities Registrar shall not record any such transfer in the Securities Register.

(c) Restricted Securities Legend. Except as set forth below, all Capital Securities shall bear a Restricted Capital Securities Legend:

(i) subject to the following Clauses of this Section 5.5(c), a Capital Security or any portion thereof that is exchanged, upon transfer or otherwise, for a Global Capital Security or any portion thereof shall bear the Restricted Capital Securities Legend while represented thereby;

(ii) subject to the following Clauses of this Section 5.5(c), a new Capital Security which is not a Global Capital Security and is issued in exchange for another Capital Security (including a Global Capital Security) or any portion thereof, upon transfer or otherwise, shall, if such new Capital Security is required to be issued in the form of a Restricted Capital Security, bear a Restricted Capital Securities Legend;

(iii) a new Capital Security (other than a Global Capital Security) that does not bear a Restricted Capital Securities Legend may be issued in exchange for or in lieu of a Restricted Capital Security or any portion thereof that bears such a legend if, in the Depositor’s judgment, placing such a legend upon such new Capital Security is not necessary to ensure compliance with the requirements of the Securities Act and is permissible under Commission Rule 144(k), and the Property Trustee, at the written direction of the Administrator of the Issuer Trust in the form of an Officers’ Certificate, shall authenticate and deliver such new Capital Security as provided in this Article V;

(iv) notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.5(c), a Successor Capital Security of a Capital Security that does not bear a Restricted Capital Securities Legend shall not bear such form of legend, unless the Depositor has reasonable cause to believe that such Successor Capital Security is a “restricted security” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, in which case the Property Trustee, at the written direction of any Administrator of the Issuer Trust in the form of an Officers’ Certificate, shall authenticate and deliver a new Capital Security bearing a Restricted Capital Securities Legend in exchange for such Successor Capital Security as provided in this Article V; and

(v) Junior Subordinated Debentures distributed to a holder of Capital Securities upon dissolution of the Issuer Trust shall bear a Restricted Capital Securities Legend, if the Capital Securities bear a similar legend, absent

- 29 -

instructions from the Depositor that such legend can be removed consistent with the requirements of the Securities Act, and Commission Rule 144 thereunder.

SECTION 5.6. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Trust Securities Certificates.

If (a) any mutilated Trust Securities Certificate shall be surrendered to the Securities Registrar, or if the Securities Registrar shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Trust Securities Certificate and (b) there shall be delivered to the Securities Registrar and the Administrators such security, indemnity and/or other assurance as may be required by them, in their discretion, to save each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice that such Trust Securities Certificate shall have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Administrators, or any one of them, on behalf of the Issuer Trust shall execute and make available for delivery, and the Property Trustee shall authenticate, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Trust Securities Certificate, a new Trust Securities Certificate of like class, tenor and denomination. In connection with the issuance of any new Trust Securities Certificate under this Section, the Administrators or the Securities Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. Any duplicate Trust Securities Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.6 shall constitute conclusive evidence of an undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the Issuer Trust corresponding to that evidenced by the lost, stolen or destroyed Trust Securities Certificate, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Trust Securities Certificate shall be found at any time.

SECTION 5.7. Persons Deemed Holders.

The Issuer Trustees and the Securities Registrar shall treat the Person in whose name any Trust Securities are issued as the sole owner of such Trust Securities for the purpose of receiving Distributions and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Issuer Trustees, the Administrators or the Securities Registrar shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.

SECTION 5.8. Access to List of Holders’ Names and Addresses.

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

SECTION 5.9. Maintenance of Office or Agency.

The Property Trustee shall designate, with the consent of the Administrators, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, an office or offices or agency or agencies where Capital Securities Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer Trustees in respect of the Trust Securities Certificates may be served. The Property Trustee initially designates its Corporate Trust Office as its corporate trust office for such purposes. The Property Trustee shall give prompt written

- 30 -

notice to the Depositor, the Administrators and to the Holders of any change in the location of the Securities Register or any such office or agency.

SECTION 5.10. Appointment of Paying Agent.

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

SECTION 5.11. Ownership of Common Securities by Depositor.

At Closing, the Depositor shall acquire and retain beneficial and record ownership of the Common Securities. Neither the Depositor nor any successor Holder of the Common Securities may transfer less than all the Common Securities, and the Depositor or any such successor Holder may transfer the Common Securities only (i) in connection with a consolidation or merger of the Depositor into another Person, or any conveyance, transfer or lease by the Depositor of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Indenture, or (ii) to an Affiliate of the Depositor in compliance with applicable law (including the Securities Act and applicable state securities and blue sky laws); provided that any such transfer shall be subject to the condition that the transferor shall have obtained (A) either a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or an unqualified written Opinion of Counsel by a firm experienced in such matters addressed to the Issuer Trust and delivered to the Issuer Trustees to the effect that such transfer will not (1) cause the Issuer Trust to be treated as issuing a class of interests in the Issuer Trust differing from the class of interests represented by the Common Securities originally issued to the Depositor, (2) result in the Issuer Trust acquiring or disposing of, or being deemed to have acquired or disposed of, an asset, or

- 31 -

(3) result in or cause the Issuer Trust to be treated as anything other than a grantor trust for United States Federal income tax purposes and (B) an unqualified written Opinion of Counsel by a firm experienced in such matters addressed to the Issuer Trust and delivered to the Issuer Trustees to the effect that such transfer will not cause the Issuer Trust to be an “investment company” or be controlled by an “investment company” that is required to be registered under the Investment Company Act. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any attempted transfer of the Common Securities, other than as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, shall be void. The Administrators shall cause each Common Securities Certificate issued to the Depositor to contain a legend stating “THIS CERTIFICATE IS NOT TRANSFERABLE EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW AND SECTION 5.11 OF THE TRUST AGREEMENT.”

SECTION 5.12. Notices to Clearing Agency.

To the extent that a notice or other communication to the Holders is required under this Trust Agreement, with respect to Capital Securities represented by Global Capital Securities Certificates, the Administrators and the Issuer Trustees shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to the Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligations to give such notice or other communication to the Owners.

SECTION 5.13. Rights of Holders.

(a) The legal title to the Trust Property is vested exclusively in the Property Trustee (in its capacity as such) in accordance with Section 2.10, and the Holders shall not have any right or title therein other than the undivided beneficial ownership interest in the assets of the Issuer Trust conferred by their Trust Securities and they shall have no right to call for any partition or division of property, profits or rights of the Issuer Trust, except as described below. The Trust Securities shall be personal property giving only the rights specifically set forth therein and in this Trust Agreement. The Trust Securities shall have no preemptive or similar rights, and when issued and delivered to Holders against payment of the purchase price therefor, as provided herein, will be fully paid and nonassessable by the Issuer Trust. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.8, the Holders of the Trust Securities, in their capacities as such, shall be entitled to the same limitation of personal liability extended to stockholders of private corporations for profit organized under the General Corporation Laws of the State of Delaware.

(b) For so long as any Capital Securities remain Outstanding, if, upon a Debenture Event of Default, the Indenture Trustee fails or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Junior Subordinated Debentures fail to declare the principal of all of the Junior Subordinated Debentures to be immediately due and payable, the Holders of at least 25% in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities then Outstanding shall have such right to make such declaration by a notice in writing to the Property Trustee, the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee.

At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Junior Subordinated Debentures has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as provided in the Indenture, the Holders

- 32 -

of a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities, by written notice to the Property Trustee, the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

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

(A) all overdue installments of interest on all of the Junior Subordinated Debentures,

(B) any accrued Additional Interest on all of the Junior Subordinated Debentures,

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

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

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

If the Property Trustee fails to annul any such declaration and waive such default, the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities shall also have the right to rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences by written notice to the Depositor, the Property Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 5.13(b).

The Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Capital Securities, waive any past default under the Indenture, except a default in the payment of principal or interest (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 Indenture Trustee) or a default in respect of a covenant or provision which under the Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding Junior Subordinated Debenture. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Upon receipt by the Property Trustee of written notice declaring such an acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof, by Holders of the Capital Securities, all or part of which is represented by the Global Capital Securities Certificate, a record date shall be

- 33 -

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

(c) For so long as any Capital Securities remain Outstanding, to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the terms of this Trust Agreement and the Indenture, upon a Debenture Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(1) or 5.1(2) of the Indenture, any Holder of Capital Securities shall have the right to institute a proceeding directly against the Depositor, pursuant to Section 5.8 of the Indenture, for enforcement of payment, to such Holder, of the principal amount of or interest on Junior Subordinated Debentures having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities held by such Holder (a “Direct Action”). Except as set forth in Sections 5.13(b) and 5.13(c), the Holders of Capital Securities shall have no right to exercise directly any right or remedy available to the holders of, or in respect of, the Junior Subordinated Debentures.

ARTICLE VI

ACTS OF HOLDERS; MEETINGS; VOTING

SECTION 6.1. Limitations on Holders’ Voting Rights.

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

(b) So long as any Junior Subordinated Debentures are held by the Property Trustee on behalf of the Issuer Trust, the Property Trustee shall not (i) direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee, or execute any trust or power conferred on the Property Trustee with respect to such Junior Subordinated Debentures, (ii) waive any past default that may be waived under Section 5.13 of the Indenture, (iii) exercise any right to rescind or annul a declaration that the principal of all the Junior Subordinated Debentures shall be due and payable or (iv) consent to any amendment,

- 34 -

modification or termination of the Indenture or the Junior Subordinated Debentures, where such consent shall be required, without, in each case, obtaining the prior approval of the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities; provided, however, that where a consent under the Indenture would require the consent of each holder of Junior Subordinated Debentures affected thereby, no such consent shall be given by the Property Trustee without the prior written consent of each Holder of Capital Securities. The Property Trustee shall not revoke any action previously authorized or approved by a vote of the Holders of Capital Securities, except by a subsequent vote of the Holders of Capital Securities. The Property Trustee shall notify all Holders of the Capital Securities of any notice of default received with respect to the Junior Subordinated Debentures. In addition to obtaining the foregoing approvals of the Holders of the Capital Securities, prior to taking any of the foregoing actions, the Property Trustee shall, at the expense of the Depositor, obtain an Opinion of Counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that such action will not cause the Issuer Trust to be taxable other than as a grantor trust for United States Federal income tax purposes.

(c) If any proposed amendment to the Trust Agreement provides for, or the Issuer Trust otherwise proposes to effect, (i) any action that would adversely affect in any material respect the interests, powers, preferences or special rights of the Capital Securities, whether by way of amendment to the Trust Agreement or otherwise, or (ii) the dissolution, winding-up or termination of the Issuer Trust, other than pursuant to the terms of this Trust Agreement, then the Holders of Outstanding Trust Securities as a class will be entitled to vote on such amendment or proposal and such amendment or proposal shall not be effective except with the approval of the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust Agreement, no amendment to this Trust Agreement may be made if, as a result of such amendment, it would cause the Issuer Trust to be taxable other than as a grantor trust for United States Federal income tax purposes.

SECTION 6.2. Notice of Meetings.

Notice of all meetings of the Holders, stating the time, place and purpose of the meeting, shall be given by the Property Trustee pursuant to Section 10.8 to each Holder of record, at his registered address, at least 15 days and not more than 90 days before the meeting. At any such meeting, any business properly before the meeting may be so considered whether or not stated in the notice of the meeting. Any adjourned meeting may be held as adjourned without further notice.

SECTION 6.3. Meetings of Holders.

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

- 35 -

Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of Holders of the Capital Securities.

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

SECTION 6.4. Voting Rights.

Holders shall be entitled to one vote for each $50,000 of Liquidation Amount represented by their Outstanding Trust Securities in respect of any matter as to which such Holders are entitled to vote.

SECTION 6.5. Proxies, etc.

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

SECTION 6.6. Holder Action by Written Consent.

Any action that may be taken by Holders at a meeting may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice if Holders holding at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of all Trust Securities entitled to vote in respect of such action (or such larger proportion thereof as shall be required by any other provision of this Trust Agreement) shall consent to the action in writing.

SECTION 6.7. Record Date for Voting and Other Purposes.

For the purposes of determining the Holders who are entitled to notice of and to vote at any meeting or by written consent, or to participate in any distribution on the Trust Securities in respect of which a record date is not otherwise provided for in this Trust

- 36 -

Agreement, or for the purpose of any other action, the Administrators or Property Trustee may from time to time fix a date, not more than 90 days prior to the date of any meeting of Holders or the payment of a distribution or other action, as the case may be, as a record date for the determination of the identity of the Holders of record for such purposes.

SECTION 6.8. Acts of Holders.

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Trust Agreement to be given, made or taken by Holders 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 otherwise expressly provided herein, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Property Trustee. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as an “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Trust Agreement and (subject to Section 8.1) conclusive in favor of the Issuer Trustees, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which any Issuer Trustee or Administrator receiving the same deems sufficient.

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

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

Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Trust Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the Liquidation Amount of such Trust Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such Liquidation Amount.

If any dispute shall arise among the Holders, the Administrators or the Issuer Trustees with respect to the authenticity, validity or binding nature of any request, demand,

- 37 -

authorization, direction, consent, waiver or other Act of such Holder or Issuer Trustee under this Article VI, then the determination of such matter by the Property Trustee shall be conclusive with respect to such matter.

SECTION 6.9. Inspection of Records.

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

ARTICLE VIII

THE ISSUER TRUSTEES; THE ADMINISTRATORS

SECTION 8.1. Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

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

(b) All payments made by the Property Trustee or a Paying Agent in respect of the Trust Securities shall be made only from the revenue and proceeds from the Trust Property and only to the extent that there shall be sufficient revenue or proceeds from the Trust Property to enable the Property Trustee or a Paying Agent to make payments in accordance with the terms hereof. Each Holder, by its acceptance of a Trust Security, agrees that it will look solely to the revenue and proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent legally available for distribution to it as herein provided and that neither the Issuer Trustees nor the Administrators are personally liable to it for any amount distributable in respect of any Trust Security or for any other liability in respect of any Trust Security. This Section 8.1(b) does not limit the liability of the Issuer Trustees expressly set forth elsewhere in this Trust Agreement or, in the case of the Property Trustee, in the Trust Indenture Act.

(c) The Property Trustee, before the occurrence of any Event of Default and after the curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, shall undertake to perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Trust Agreement (including pursuant to Section 10.10), and no implied covenants shall be read into this Trust Agreement against the Property Trustee. If an Event of Default has occurred (that has not been cured or waived pursuant to Section 5.13 of the Indenture), the Property Trustee shall enforce this Trust Agreement for the benefit of the Holders and shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Trust Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise thereof, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

- 40 -

(d) No provision of this Trust Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Property Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(i) prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default that may have occurred:

(A) the duties and obligations of the Property Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Trust Agreement (including pursuant to Section 10.10), and the Property Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Trust Agreement (including pursuant to Section 10.10); and

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

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

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

(iv) the Property Trustee’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safe keeping and physical preservation of the Junior Subordinated Debentures and the Payment Account shall be to deal with such property in a similar manner as the Property Trustee deals with similar property for its own account, subject to the protections and limitations on liability afforded to the Property Trustee under this Trust Agreement and the Trust Indenture Act;

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

- 41 -

(vi) the Property Trustee shall not be responsible for monitoring the compliance by the Administrators or the Depositor with their respective duties under this Trust Agreement, nor shall the Property Trustee be liable for the default or misconduct of any other Issuer Trustee, the Administrators or the Depositor; and

(vii) no provision of this Trust Agreement shall require the Property Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if the Property Trustee shall have reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment of such funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it under the terms of this Trust Agreement or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

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

SECTION 8.2. Certain Notices.

(a) Within five Business Days after the occurrence of any Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Property Trustee, the Property Trustee shall transmit, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 10.8, notice of such Event of Default to the Holders and the Administrators, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.

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

SECTION 8.3. Certain Rights of Property Trustee.

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.1:

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

(b) any direction or act of the Depositor contemplated by this Trust Agreement shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate;

- 42 -

(c) the Property Trustee shall have no duty to see to any recording, filing or registration of any instrument (including any financing or continuation statement or any filing under tax or securities laws) or any re-recording, refiling or re-registration thereof;

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

(e) the Property Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Trust Agreement at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Trust Agreement, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Property Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction; provided that nothing contained in this Section 8.3(e) shall be taken to relieve the Property Trustee, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, of its obligation to exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Trust Agreement;

(f) the Property Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by one or more Holders, but the Property Trustee may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit;

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

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

(i) except as otherwise expressly provided by this Trust Agreement, the Property Trustee shall not be under any obligation to take any action that is discretionary under the provisions of this Trust Agreement.

- 43 -

No provision of this Trust Agreement shall be deemed to impose any duty or obligation on any Issuer Trustee or Administrator to perform any act or acts or exercise any right, power, duty or obligation conferred or imposed on it, in any jurisdiction in which it shall be illegal, or in which the Property Trustee shall be unqualified or incompetent in accordance with applicable law, to perform any such act or acts, or to exercise any such right, power, duty or obligation. No permissive power or authority available to any Issuer Trustee or Administrator shall be construed to be a duty.

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

The recitals contained herein and in the Trust Securities Certificates shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer Trust, and neither the Issuer Trustees nor the Administrators assume any responsibility for their correctness. The Issuer Trustees and the Administrators shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor of the proceeds of the Junior Subordinated Debentures.

SECTION 8.5. May Hold Securities.

The Depositor, the Administrators, any Issuer Trustee or any other agent of any Issuer Trustee or the Issuer Trust, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Trust Securities and, subject to Sections 5.5(c), 8.8 and 8.13 and except as provided in the definition of the term “Outstanding” in Article I, may otherwise deal with the Issuer Trust with the same rights it would have if it were not the Depositor, an Administrator, Issuer Trustee or such other agent.

SECTION 8.6. Compensation; Indemnity; Fees.

The Depositor agrees:

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

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

(c) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to indemnify and hold harmless (i) each Issuer Trustee, (ii) each Administrator, (iii) any Affiliate of any Issuer Trustee, (iv) any officer, director, shareholder, employee, representative or agent of any Issuer Trustee, and (v) any employee or agent of the Issuer Trust, (referred to herein as an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any loss, damage, liability, tax, penalty, expense or claim of any kind or nature whatsoever incurred by such Indemnified Person arising out of or in connection with the creation, operation or dissolution of the Issuer Trust or any act or omission performed or

- 44 -

omitted by such Indemnified Person in good faith on behalf of the Issuer Trust and in a manner such Indemnified Person reasonably believed to be within the scope of authority conferred on such Indemnified Person by this Trust Agreement, except that no Indemnified Person shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Indemnified Person by reason of negligence or willful misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions.

The provisions of this Section 8.6 shall survive the termination of this Trust Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Indemnified Persons.

The obligation of the Depositor under this Section 8.6 to compensate, reimburse and indemnify the Issuer Trustees shall be secured by a Lien upon all Trust Property (except funds held in trust for the benefit of Holders of particular Trust Securities), but only to the extent of the interest of the Holder of the Common Securities therein.

The Depositor, any Administrator and any Issuer Trustee may engage in or possess an interest in other business ventures of any nature or description, independently or with others, similar or dissimilar to the business of the Issuer Trust, and the Issuer Trust and the Holders of Trust Securities shall have no rights by virtue of this Trust Agreement in and to such independent ventures or the income or profits derived therefrom, and the pursuit of any such venture, even if competitive with the business of the Issuer Trust, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper. Neither the Depositor, any Administrator, nor any Issuer Trustee shall be obligated to present any particular investment or other opportunity to the Issuer Trust even if such opportunity is of a character that, if presented to the Issuer Trust, could be taken by the Issuer Trust, and the Depositor, any Administrator or any Issuer Trustee shall have the right to take for its own account (individually or as a partner or fiduciary) or to recommend to others any such particular investment or other opportunity. Any Issuer Trustee may engage or be interested in any financial or other transaction with the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor, or may act as depository for, trustee or agent for, or act on any committee or body of holders of, securities or other obligations of the Depositor or its Affiliates.

SECTION 8.7. Corporate Property Trustee Required; Eligibility of Trustees and Administrators.

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

- 45 -

(b) There shall at all times be one or more Administrators hereunder. Each Administrator shall be either a natural person who is at least 21 years of age or a legal entity that shall act through one or more persons authorized to bind that entity. An employee, officer or Affiliate of the Depositor may serve as an Administrator.

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

SECTION 8.8. Conflicting Interests.

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

(b) The Guarantee and the Indenture shall be deemed to be sufficiently described in this Trust Agreement for the purposes of clause (i) of the first proviso contained in Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

SECTION 8.9. Co-Trustees and Separate Trustee.

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

Should any written instrument from the Depositor be required by any co-trustee or separate trustee so appointed for more fully confirming to such co-trustee or separate trustee such property, title, right, or power, any and all such instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Depositor.

- 46 -

Every co-trustee or separate trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, but to such extent only, be appointed subject to the following terms, namely:

(a) The Trust Securities shall be executed by one or more Administrators, and the Trust Securities shall be authenticated and delivered by the Property Trustee and all rights, powers, duties, and obligations hereunder in respect of the custody of securities, cash and other personal property held by, or required to be deposited or pledged with, the Property Trustee specified hereunder, shall be exercised, solely by the Property Trustee and not by such co-trustee or separate trustee.

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

(c) The Property Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing executed by it, with the written concurrence of the Depositor, may accept the resignation of or remove any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed under this Section, and, in case a Debenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Property Trustee shall have power to accept the resignation of, or remove, any such co-trustee or separate trustee without the concurrence of the Depositor. Upon the written request of the Property Trustee, the Depositor shall join with the Property Trustee in the execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to effectuate such resignation or removal. A successor to any co-trustee or separate trustee so resigned or removed may be appointed in the manner provided in this Section 8.9.

(d) No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of the Property Trustee or any other trustee hereunder.

(e) The Property Trustee shall not be liable by reason of any act of a co-trustee or separate trustee.

(f) Any Act of Holders delivered to the Property Trustee shall be deemed to have been delivered to each such co-trustee and separate trustee.

SECTION 8.10. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

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

- 47 -

Subject to the immediately preceding paragraph, a Relevant Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Holders. The Holder of the Common Securities shall appoint a successor by requesting from at least three Persons meeting the eligibility requirements such Persons’ expenses and charges to serve as the successor trustee on a form provided by the Administrators, and selecting the Person who agrees to the lowest expenses and charges. If the instrument of acceptance by the successor trustee required by Section 8.11 shall not have been delivered to the Relevant Trustee within 60 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the Relevant Trustee may petition, at the expense of the Issuer Trust, any court of the State of Delaware for the appointment of a successor Relevant Trustee.

The Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee may be removed at any time (i) for cause (including upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in subparagraph (5) of the definition thereof with respect to the Relevant Trustee) by the Holder of the Common Securities, or (ii) if a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at any time, by Act of the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities, delivered to the Relevant Trustee (in its individual capacity and on behalf of the Issuer Trust).

If a Relevant Trustee shall be removed or become incapable of acting as Issuer Trustee, or if any vacancy shall occur in the office of any Issuer Trustee for any cause, the Holder of the Common Securities shall promptly appoint a successor Relevant Trustee or Trustees, and such successor Relevant Trustee shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11; provided, however, if a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at such time, the Holders of the Capital Securities, by Act of the Holders of record of not less than 25% in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities then Outstanding delivered to such Relevant Trustee, shall appoint such successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed by the Holder of the Common Securities or the Holders of the Capital Securities, as applicable, or shall not have accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 8.11 hereof, any Holder, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, or any other Issuer Trustee, may petition any court in the State of Delaware for the appointment of a successor trustee.

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Trust Agreement, in the event any Delaware Trustee who is a natural person dies or becomes, in the opinion of the Holder of the Common Securities, incompetent or incapacitated, the vacancy created by such death, incompetence or incapacity may be filled by the Property Trustee following the procedures regarding expenses and charges set forth above (with the successor in each case being a Person who satisfies the eligibility requirements for the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, set forth in Section 8.7).

- 48 -

SECTION 8.11. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Relevant Trustee, the retiring Relevant Trustee and each such successor Relevant Trustee (if requested by the Depositor) with respect to the Trust Securities shall execute, acknowledge and deliver an amendment hereto wherein each successor Relevant Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (a) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Relevant Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Relevant Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities and the Issuer Trust, and (b) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Trust Agreement as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the Issuer Trust by more than one Relevant Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such amendment shall constitute such Relevant Trustee a co-trustee, and upon the execution and delivery of such amendment, the resignation or removal of the retiring Relevant Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Relevant Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Relevant Trustee; but, on request of the Issuer Trust or any successor Relevant Trustee such retiring Relevant Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Relevant Trustee all Trust Property, all proceeds thereof and money held by such retiring Relevant Trustee hereunder with respect to the Trust Securities and the Issuer Trust.

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

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Property Trustee and, in the event the Property Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Property Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Property Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Property Trustee.

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

Except as otherwise provided in this Trust Agreement, or by applicable law, any one Administrator may execute any document or otherwise take any action that the Administrators are authorized to take under this Trust Agreement.

ARTICLE IX

DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND MERGER

SECTION 9.1. Dissolution Upon Expiration Date.

Unless earlier dissolved, the Issuer Trust shall automatically dissolve on December 31, 2033 (the “Expiration Date”), and thereafter the Trust Property shall be distributed in accordance with Section 9.4.

- 52 -

SECTION 9.2. Early Dissolution.

The first to occur of any of the following events is an “Early Termination Event,” upon the occurrence of which the Issuer Trust shall dissolve:

(a) the occurrence of the appointment of a receiver or other similar official in any liquidation, insolvency or similar proceeding with respect to the Depositor or all or substantially all of its property, or entry by a court or other governmental agency of a decree or order if such decree or order shall remain unstayed and undischarged for a period of 60 days, unless the Depositor shall transfer the Common Securities as provided by Section 5.11, in which case this provision shall refer instead to any such successor Holder of the Common Securities;

(b) the written direction to the Property Trustee from the Holder of the Common Securities at any time to dissolve the Issuer Trust and, after paying or making reasonable provision to pay all charges and obligations of the Issuer Trust in accordance with Section 3808(e) of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, to distribute the Junior Subordinated Debentures to Holders in exchange for the Trust Securities (which direction, subject to Section 9.4(a), is optional and wholly within the discretion of the Holder of the Common Securities);

(c) the repayment of all of the Capital Securities in connection with the repayment at maturity or redemption of all the Junior Subordinated Debentures; and

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

SECTION 9.3. Termination.

As soon as is practicable after the occurrence of an event referred to in Section 9.1 or 9.2, and upon the completion of the winding-up and liquidation of the Issuer Trust, the Administrators and the Issuer Trustees (each of whom is hereby authorized to take such action) shall file a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware terminating the Issuer Trust and, upon such filing, the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Issuer Trustees, the Administrators and the Issuer Trust created and continued hereby shall terminate.

SECTION 9.4. Liquidation.

(a) If an Early Termination Event specified in clause (a), (b) or (d) of Section 9.2 occurs or upon the Expiration Date, the Issuer Trust shall be wound-up and liquidated by the Property Trustee as expeditiously as the Property Trustee determines to be possible by distributing, after paying or making reasonable provision to pay all claims and obligations of the Issuer Trust in accordance with Section 3808(e) of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, to each Holder a Like Amount of Junior Subordinated Debentures, subject to Section 9.4(d). Notice of liquidation shall be given by the Property Trustee by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 15 nor more than 45 days prior to the Liquidation Date to each Holder of Trust Securities at such Holder’s address as it appears in the Securities Register. All notices of liquidation shall:

(i) state the Liquidation Date;

- 53 -

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

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

(b) Except where Section 9.2(c) or 9.4(d) applies, in order to effect the liquidation of the Issuer Trust and distribution of the Junior Subordinated Debentures to Holders, the Property Trustee shall establish a record date for such distribution (which shall be not more than 30 days prior to the Liquidation Date) and, either itself acting as exchange agent or through the appointment of a separate exchange agent, shall establish such procedures as it shall deem appropriate to effect the distribution of Junior Subordinated Debentures in exchange for the Outstanding Trust Securities Certificates.

(c) Except where Section 9.2(c) or 9.4(d) applies, after the Liquidation Date, (i) the Trust Securities will no longer be deemed to be Outstanding, (ii) the Clearing Agency for the Capital Securities or its nominee, as the registered Holder of the Global Capital Securities Certificates, shall receive a registered global certificate or certificates representing the Junior Subordinated Debentures to be delivered upon such distribution with respect to Capital Securities held by the Clearing Agency or its nominee, and (iii) any Trust Securities Certificates not held by the Clearing Agency for the Capital Securities or its nominee as specified in clause (ii) above will be deemed to represent Junior Subordinated Debentures having a principal amount equal to the stated Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities represented thereby and bearing accrued and unpaid interest in an amount equal to the accumulated and unpaid Distributions on such Trust Securities until such certificates are presented to the Securities Registrar for transfer or reissuance.

(d) If, notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 9.4, whether because of an order for dissolution entered by a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise, distribution of the Junior Subordinated Debentures is not practical, or if any Early Termination Event specified in clause (c) of Section 9.2 occurs, the Issuer Trust shall be dissolved, and the Trust Property shall be liquidated, by the Property Trustee in such manner as the Property Trustee determines. In such event, on the date of the dissolution of the Issuer Trust, the Holders will be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Issuer Trust available for distribution to the Holders after paying or making reasonable provision to pay all claims and obligations of the Issuer Trust in accordance with Section 3808(e) of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, an amount equal to the aggregate of Liquidation Amount per Trust Security plus accumulated and unpaid Distributions thereon to the date of payment (such amount being the “Liquidation Distribution”). If, upon any such dissolution, the Liquidation Distribution can be paid only in part because the

- 54 -

Issuer Trust has insufficient assets available to pay in full the aggregate Liquidation Distribution, then, subject to the next succeeding sentence, the amounts payable by the Issuer Trust on the Trust Securities shall be paid on a pro rata basis (based upon Liquidation Amounts). The Holder of the Common Securities will be entitled to receive Liquidation Distributions upon any such dissolution, pro rata (determined as aforesaid) with the Holders of Capital Securities, except that, if a Debenture Event of Default in Sections 5.1(1) or 5.1(2) of the Indenture has occurred and is continuing, the Capital Securities shall have a priority over the Common Securities as provided in Section 4.3.

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

The Issuer Trust may not merge with or into, consolidate, amalgamate, be replaced by, or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to, any entity, except pursuant to this Section 9.5 or Section 9.4. At the request of the Holder of the Common Securities, and with the consent of the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities, but without the consent of the Issuer Trustees, the Issuer Trust may merge with or into, consolidate, amalgamate, be replaced by, or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to a trust organized as such under the laws of any state; provided that (i) such successor entity either (a) expressly assumes all of the obligations of the Issuer Trust with respect to the Capital Securities or (b) substitutes for the Capital Securities other securities having substantially the same terms as the Capital Securities (the “Successor Capital Securities”) so long as the Successor Capital Securities have the same priority as the Capital Securities with respect to distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption and otherwise, (ii) a trustee of such successor entity possessing the same powers and duties as the Property Trustee is appointed to hold the Junior Subordinated Debentures, (iii) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not cause the Capital Securities (including any Successor Capital Securities) to be downgraded by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, if such Capital Securities have been rated by such nationally recognized statistical rating organization, (iv) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of the Capital Securities (including any Successor Capital Securities) in any material respect, (v) such successor entity has a purpose substantially identical to that of the Issuer Trust, (vi) prior to such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, the Issuer Trust has received an Opinion of Counsel from a firm experienced in such matters to the effect that (a) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not adversely affect the rights preferences and privileges of the holders of the Capital Securities (including any Successor Capital Securities) in any material respect, and (b) following such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, neither the Issuer Trust nor such successor entity will be required to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act and (vii) the Depositor or any permitted transferee to whom it has transferred the Common Securities hereunder owns all of the common securities of such successor entity and guarantees the obligations of such successor entity under the Capital Securities or Successor Capital Securities at least to the extent provided by the Guarantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer Trust shall not, except with the consent of the Holders of 100% in

- 55 -

Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities, consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, be replaced by, or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to, any other entity or permit any other entity to consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or replace it if such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease would cause the Issuer Trust or the successor entity to be taxable other than as a grantor trust for United States Federal income tax purposes.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The PB Financial Services Corporation (the “Company”) is forming a Delaware statutory trust (the “Issuer Trust”) to issue securities for the benefit of the Company. The Company and the Issuer Trust (collectively, the “Offerors”), propose, upon and subject to the terms and conditions stated herein, to offer, issue and sell (the “Offering”), pursuant to exemptions from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) Rule 506 under the Securities Act (“Rule 506”), Commission Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”), and/or Commission Regulation S under the Securities Act (“Regulation S”), up to the amount of floating rate capital securities issued by the Issuer Trust shown above (together with the related Guarantee thereof, the “Capital Securities”). The Company will purchase all common securities to be issued by the Issuer Trust (the “Common Securities”, and collectively with the Capital Securities, the “Trust Securities”).

We hereby request you to act as the exclusive agents of the Company and the Issuer Trust (each, a “Placement Agent”), upon the terms and conditions of this Placement Agreement (this “Agreement”), to solicit purchasers (“Purchasers”) of the Capital Securities, in minimum stated Liquidation Amounts of $50,000.00 and integral multiples of $50,000.00 in excess thereof with a minimum purchase of $100,000.00.

The Trust Securities will be issued by the Issuer Trust pursuant to an Amended and Restated Trust Agreement in form and substance acceptable to the Placement Agent (the “Trust Agreement”) by and among the Company, as depositor (the “Depositor”), the Administrator(s) named therein (the “Administrators”), Wilmington Trust Company, as the property trustee (the “Property Trustee”) and as the Delaware trustee (the “Delaware Trustee”, and collectively with

- E-2 -

the Property Trustee, the “Issuer Trustees”). The Capital Securities will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a subordinated basis by the Company with respect to distributions and amounts payable upon liquidation, redemption, repayment or otherwise (the “Guarantee”) pursuant to the Guarantee Agreement (the “Guarantee Agreement”) between the Company and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee (the “Guarantee Trustee”), for the benefit of the holders (the “Holders”) of the Capital Securities.

All proceeds from (i) the sale of the Capital Securities in the Offering and (ii) the sale by the Issuer Trust to the Company of its Common Securities, will be used by the Issuer Trust to purchase junior subordinated debentures issued by the Company and due on the last business day preceding the first scheduled Payment Date after the thirtieth (30^th) anniversary of the Securities original issuance date (the “Junior Subordinated Debentures”). The Junior Subordinated Debentures will have an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities, and will be issued pursuant to the Junior Subordinated Indenture (the “Indenture”), by and between the Company and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”).

The Capital Securities, the Common Securities, the Guarantee and the Junior Subordinated Debentures are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities.” This Agreement, the Trust Agreement, the Indenture, the Guarantee Agreement and the Securities are referred to collectively as the “Operative Documents.” The Operative Documents, together with all other documents, instruments and agreements pertaining to the transactions (the “Transactions”) contemplated in the Operative Documents are called the “Transaction Documents.”

The Placement Agent previously has delivered a summary term sheet (the “Term Sheet”), which contained a preliminary indication of the principal terms the Placement Agent believed reasonably achievable in the market on the date of such Term Sheet, subject to changes in market conditions, investor demands and other factors. This Agreement supersedes and replaces the Term Sheet in its entirety. The final terms and conditions of the Capital Securities shall be subject to the mutual agreement of the Company, the Issuer Trust, the Placement Agent and the Purchasers, and the Placement Agent makes no representation or warranty as to the rates, spreads or other terms that may actually be achieved with respect to the Capital Securities.

The Offerors will prepare and deliver to the Placement Agent a confidential Offering Memorandum and a reasonable number of copies thereof for use by the Placement Agent in connection with the Offering of the Capital Securities. As used herein, the term “Offering Memorandum” means, with respect to any date or time referred to in this Agreement, the most recent offering memorandum, as amended or supplemented, including exhibits thereto and any documents incorporated therein by reference which has been prepared and delivered by the Offerors to the Placement Agent in connection with the Offering.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the respective meanings specified in the Trust Agreement. All references in this Agreement to financial statements, schedules and other information which are “contained,” “included,” “disclosed”, “described in” or “stated” in the Offering Memorandum (or other similar references) shall be deemed to mean and include all such financial statements and schedules and other information which are included and/or incorporated by reference in the Offering Memorandum; and all references in this Agreement to amendments or supplements to the Offering Memorandum shall be deemed to mean and include the filing of any document under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”) or the Securities Act, which document is incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Offering Memorandum. All references to “Regulation D” shall mean

- E-3 -

Commission Rules 501 through 508 under the Securities Act. For purposes hereof, the singular shall include the plural and vice versa, and the words “include”, “including”, “included”, and derivations thereof shall mean without limitation by reason of enumeration or otherwise.

Certain terms of this Agreement are provided in Exhibit 1.

In consideration of the premises, the mutual agreements contained in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by each party, the parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1. Offering and Sale of Capital Securities.

(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Issuer Trust and the Company hereby confirm the Placement Agent’s appointment as the Company’s exclusive agent during the offering period specified in this section (the “Offering Period”) to solicit Purchasers to purchase Capital Securities from the Issuer Trust through the Offering. The Offering Period will commence on a date mutually acceptable to the Company, the Issuer Trust and the Placement Agent and will end at 5:00 P.M., Eastern Time, on the earliest of the Closing Date (as defined in Section 2 below), the last Subsequent Closing Date (as defined in Section 2 below), if any, or the Offering termination date (the “Offering Termination Date”) specified in Exhibit 1 hereto, unless earlier terminated, or extended by our mutual agreement to a later date. Subject to the performance by the Offerors of all their obligations hereunder, and in reliance upon the completeness and accuracy of each of the Offerors’ representations, warranties and covenants, the Placement Agent hereby accepts such agency upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Each of the Offerors acknowledges and agrees that it has made its own independent investigation of the desirability to the Offerors of offering and selling the Securities in the Offering and that it has not relied upon the Placement Agent in making such decisions.

(b) The Placement Agent shall use its reasonable commercial efforts, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to solicit Purchasers of the Capital Securities. The Placement Agent, in fulfilling its obligations hereunder, may engage brokers, dealers, or other third parties to solicit Purchasers of the Capital Securities or to refer potential Purchasers of the Capital Securities. The Placement Agent may enter into agreements with, and pay fees to, such third parties as the Placement Agent deems appropriate in connection with such activities. The Placement Agent shall not, either directly or indirectly, in fulfilling its obligations hereunder, act as an underwriter for the Capital Securities and is in no way obligated or committed, directly or indirectly, to advance its own funds to purchase any Capital Securities or to purchase or to assure the purchase of any Capital Securities; provided, however, that nothing herein shall preclude the Placement Agent from purchasing and reselling the Capital Securities using the Offering Memorandum or other information provided thereunder or hereunder by the Offerors and in reliance upon Rule 144A, Regulation S, Commission Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) or other available exemptions under the Securities Act, in the Placement Agent’s sole discretion. In making any such purchases or resales, the Placement Agent will rely upon the Offerors’ representations, warranties, covenants and agreements provided herein and in any officer’s certificates provided by or on behalf of the Offerors.

(c) The Placement Agent’s agency under this Agreement is coupled with an interest, and therefore is not terminable by the Company or the Issuer Trust without the

- E-4 -

Placement Agent’s prior express written consent, except as expressly provided in Section 9(b) hereof. Unless sooner terminated in accordance with Section 9 hereof, the Placement Agent’s agency under this Agreement will continue until the termination of the Offering or the Closing Date, or if applicable, the last Subsequent Closing Date.

(d) The Company shall pay the Placement Agent for its services as Placement Agent hereunder the percentage of the aggregate stated liquidation amount of Capital Securities sold in the Offering (the “Placement Agent Fee”) specified in Exhibit 1 hereto.

2. Closing; Delivery and Payment.

(a) If the conditions described in Section 6 hereof have been satisfied or waived, the initial closing of the Offering (the “Closing”) will be held at the offices of Alston & Bird LLP, One Atlantic Center, 1201 W. Peachtree Street, Atlanta, Georgia 30309-3424 or such other place as is agreed upon by the Placement Agent, the Company and the Issuer Trust as soon as practicable thereafter. The date on which the initial Closing is held shall be referred to herein as the “Closing Date.” The Company and Placement Agent may agree in writing to close the sale of some but not all Securities offered at the Closing, to continue the Offering as to the unsold Securities, if any, and if additional Securities are thereafter sold to conduct one or more subsequent closings (each, a “Subsequent Closing”) on one or more subsequent dates (each, a “Subsequent Closing Date”). Each Subsequent Closing and Subsequent Closing Date shall be identified by a sequential number, and will be held at the offices of Alston & Bird LLP, One Atlantic Center, 1201 W. Peachtree Street, Atlanta, Georgia 30309-3424, or such other places as mutually agreed upon by the Placement Agent, the Company and the Issuer Trust, upon not less than three business days’ prior notice, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company’s reaffirmation of all its representations, warranties and covenants herein and the delivery of all legal and other opinions required hereunder. Not less than two full business days prior to the Closing and each Subsequent Closing, Capital Securities in definitive form and in authorized denominations shall be made available by or on behalf of the Company and the Issuer Trust to the Placement Agent and the Property Trustee for inspection, checking and delivery to The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or its custodian. As part of the Closing and each Subsequent Closing, the Company will pay the Placement Agent Fee and those expenses theretofore actually incurred as provided in Sections 1(d), 6 and 8. The time and date for the delivery of the certificates representing the Capital Securities sold at the Closing Date and each Subsequent Closing Date shall be sequentially numbered as a “Time of Delivery.”

3. Offeror Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The Company and the Issuer Trust, jointly and severally, represent and warrant to, and agree with the Placement Agent that:

(a) Neither the Company nor the Issuer Trust, nor any of their Affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf has directly or indirectly (i) engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D) in connection with any offer or sale of any of the Securities, or (ii) made offers or sales of any security, or solicited offers to buy or sell any security, under circumstances that would require the registration of any of the Securities under the Securities Act or the securities or blue sky laws of any applicable jurisdiction.

(b) Neither the Company nor the Issuer Trust, nor any of their Affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged or will engage in any directed selling efforts with respect to the Securities within the meaning of Regulation S.

In connection with the offer or sale of the Capital Securities through the Placement Agent during the Offering Period, the Offerors also agree to provide to each prospective offeree of Capital Securities who so requests information concerning the Issuer Trust, the Company and its Subsidiaries (to the extent that such information is available or can be acquired and made available to prospective Purchasers without unreasonable effort or expense and to the extent the provision thereof is not prohibited by applicable Law) and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities, as provided in the Offering Memorandum, and to hold at least one conference call with offerees at a reasonable time prior to the Closing and each Subsequent Closing, if any, whereby such offerees have the

(l) The Company shall pay promptly upon invoice and not later than the Closing and each Subsequent Closing, if any, or any termination of the Offering, and irrespective of whether any Capital Securities are sold, (i) all costs incident to the authorization, issuance, sale and delivery of the Securities, including making the Securities eligible for book-entry transfer through DTC, and all taxes payable in that connection; (ii) the reasonable fees and charges of qualifying and making eligible for investment by financial institutions, the Capital Securities under the laws of the several jurisdictions as provided in Section 5(a); (iii) the actual and reasonable fees and expenses of the Issuer Trustees, the Guarantee Trustee and the Indenture Trustee and their counsel; (iv) the out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by the Placement Agent, including the reasonable actual fees and charges of the Placement Agent’s counsel, including any tax opinions, DTC and Portal filings, and blue sky and investment eligibility surveys and filings, as applicable; and (v) all other costs and expenses incurred incident to the performance of the obligations of the Company and the Issuer Trust. All fees, charges and expenses payable hereunder are net of applicable withholding, sales or similar taxes.

(n) The Offerors will use all commercially reasonable efforts to do and perform all things required to be done and performed by each of them under this Agreement prior to and after the Closing Date and each Subsequent Closing Date, to satisfy all conditions precedent on its part to the delivery of the Capital Securities to consummate the Transactions.

The Offerors also will file timely with the Commission one or more Form Ds pursuant to Regulation D with respect to the sale of the Securities, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Placement Agent.

(p) The Issuer Trust will use the proceeds received by it from the sale of the Securities, and the Company and its Subsidiaries will use the proceeds received by them from the sale of the Junior Subordinated Debentures, in the manner specified in the Offering Memorandum under the caption “Use of Proceeds.”

(q) Each of the Offerors will, so long as any of the Capital Securities or the Junior Subordinated Debentures are outstanding, file with the Commission all reports specified under Sections 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act, to the extent that the Company is otherwise required

- E-16 -

to file such information, and otherwise will (i) maintain and provide “adequate current public information” (as defined in Commission Rule 144(c) under the Securities Act) about the Offerors to permit resales of the Capital Securities or the Junior Subordinated Debentures pursuant to such Rule 144, and (ii) make available to any prospective purchaser of the Capital Securities or Junior Subordinated Debentures, the information required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. The Company shall cause to be prepared annual audited consolidated financial statements consistent with the provisions of subsections 3(m), 3(n) and 3(q) hereof, will maintain the system of internal controls consistent with subsection 3(q) hereof, and for so long as any of the Capital Securities or the Junior Subordinated Debentures are outstanding, will show such instruments in their Financial Statements and Interim Financial Statements as a separate line item and as part of the Company’s total debt.

(s) The Company and the Issuer Trust will comply with, and perform their obligations under, the Operative Documents.

(t) The Company and the Issuer Trust will not claim, and will actively resist any attempts by others to claim, the benefits of any usury laws against holders of the Capital Securities or the Junior Subordinated Debentures.

(u) The Offerors will maintain this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents, and the terms hereof and thereof strictly confidential, except to the extent that (i) either Offeror is required to file the Trust Agreement, the Guarantee Agreement, the Indenture or the forms of the Securities with any public officials in the State of Delaware or the state where the Company maintains its principal executive offices or with the Commission, and (ii) the terms of the Securities may be described generally in financial statements, reports or filings with the Commission or other Governmental Authorities. The Placement Agent and the Offerors may disclose the Transaction Documents to Purchasers of the Securities and to any Governmental Authority, provided the Offerors use all commercially reasonable efforts to limit the public disclosure thereof. The Offerors may also disclose the Transaction Documents to their respective counsel and accountants, and others who have a need to know such information, provided such persons are notified that these Transaction Documents are confidential and agree to maintain them as confidential. It is understood and agreed that the Transaction Documents are proprietary to the Placement Agent and will not be copied or used by the Company or any of its Affiliates or representatives for any purposes other than the Transactions.

(v) With respect to any offering and sale of Company capital stock, whether such capital stock be common stock, convertible preferred, debt, or otherwise, occurring within the six month period following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall either:

- E-17 -

(i) register the capital stock pursuant to requirements of the Securities Act and comply with Rule 152 of the same, or;

(ii) ensure all such offers and sales of capital stock will be made (A) exclusively to “accredited investors,” as that term is defined in Commission Rule 501 under the Securities Act, or to fewer than 30 nonaccredited investors each of whom the Company reasonably believes to be sophisticated, (B) in compliance with the information delivery requirements set forth in Commission Rule 502(b) under the Securities Act, (C) without any form of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Commission Rule 502(c) under the Securities Act, (D) in compliance with the resale limitation requirements of Commission Rule 502(d) under the Securities Act, and (E) otherwise in compliance with the private offering exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and the safe harbor provided by Commission Rule 506 thereunder; and

(w) Notwithstanding (u) above, the Company will take all reasonable steps to ensure that any such offers and sales of capital stock by the Company in the six month period following the date of this Agreement will not be “integrated,” as that term has been defined by the Commission, with the Offering or otherwise cause the offer and sale of the Securities to not be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to the exceptions provided in Commission Rule 506.

(x) The Company will maintain a line of credit, secured by 100% of the common stock of the Company’s Subsidiaries (the “Line of Credit”), in an amount of $250,000 with The Bankers Bank, so long as the Capital Securities or the Junior Subordinated Debentures are outstanding, provided The Bankers Bank is willing to maintain and renew such Line of Credit. Draws under the Line of Credit may be used by the Company in its discretion for any purposes permitted under the related Loan Documents, including maintaining the capital adequacy of the Company’s Bank Subsidiaries. Neither the Placement Agent nor The Bankers Bank require that the Line of Credit be used by the Company to pay any amounts under the Securities.

6. Conditions to the Placement Agent’s Obligations. The Placement Agent’s obligations under this Agreement to use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Purchasers for the Capital Securities and to close the sale of any Capital Securities shall be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company and the Issuer Trust contained herein as of the date and time that this Agreement is executed (the “Execution Time”) through each Closing Date and Subsequent Closing Date, if any, to the accuracy of the statements of the Company and the Issuer Trust made herein and in any other Transaction Documents, to the performance by the Company and the Issuer Trust of their respective covenants, agreements and obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, and to the following additional conditions:

(b) The Company shall have furnished to the Placement Agent the opinion of special tax counsel to the Company, which shall be the Placement Agent’s counsel, dated the

- E-18 -

Closing Date and each Subsequent Closing Date, if any, containing such assumptions, qualifications and limitations as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Placement Agent and its counsel to the effect that (i) the Issuer Trust will be characterized as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes and not as a partnership or as an association subject to tax as a corporation, (ii) for United States federal income tax purposes, the Junior Subordinated Debentures will constitute indebtedness of the Company, and (iii) the descriptions of the federal income tax consequences contained in the Offering Memorandum under the captions “Summary” and “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consequences” are a fair and accurate summary of the United States federal income tax effects of purchasing, holding and selling Capital Securities.

(c) The Placement Agent shall have received two opinions (collectively, the “Delaware Opinion”) of Richards, Layton & Finger, P.A. (or other counsel reasonably acceptable to the Placement Agent), special Delaware counsel for the Placement Agent, Company, the Issuer Trust, the Issuer Trustees, the Guarantee Trustee and the Indenture Trustee dated the Closing Date, addressed to the Placement Agent and the Company, that collectively address the matters set forth in Annex B hereto.

(d) There shall not have occurred (i) any change, or any development or event involving a prospective change, in the condition (financial or otherwise), earnings, cash flows, business or prospects of the Company or its Subsidiaries which, in the judgment of the Placement Agent, is material and adverse and makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the completion of the Offering or the sale of and payment for the Capital Securities; (ii) any suspension or limitation of trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange Nasdaq, or any over-the-counter securities market, or any material disruption of the settlement of trading on any such exchange or over-the-counter market generally, or the establishment of minimum prices for trading securities generally on any such exchange or any over-the-counter market, or any suspension of trading of any securities of the Company on any exchange or in the over-the-counter market; (iii) any banking moratorium declared by any United States federal authorities or state authorities; (iv) the lowering or withdrawal of any rating assigned to any securities or deposits issued or guaranteed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by any rating agency or the public announcement or of disclosure to the Company by any rating agency that it has under surveillance or review, with possible negative consequences, its rating of any securities or deposits issued or guaranteed by the Company or its Subsidiaries, or (v) any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, any declaration of a national emergency or war by the United States or any other national or international calamity, crisis or emergency, any act or acts of terrorism, or any change in the financial markets if, in the judgment of the Placement Agent, the effect of any such outbreak, escalation, act, declaration, calamity, emergency or change makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with solicitations of offers to purchase, or the completion of its sale of, the Capital Securities.

(e) The Company shall have furnished to the Placement Agent a certificate of the Company, signed by the Chairman, any Vice Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or any Vice President and by the Treasurer or Chief Financial Officer of the Company, and one of the Administrators of the Issuer Trust dated the Closing Date, reasonably acceptable in form and substance to the Placement Agent, to the effect that:

(i) the representations and warranties of the Company and the Issuer Trust made herein and in each Transaction Document are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Closing Date and each Subsequent Closing Date, if any, with the same effect as if made on each of the Closing Date and each Subsequent Closing Date, if any, and the Company

(ii) since the date of the most recent Financial Statements provided by the Company to the Placement Agent and included or incorporated in the Offering Memorandum, and since the date of the Offering Memorandum, there has been no material adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise), earnings, cash flows, business or prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business or otherwise.

(f) Prior to the Closing Date, and each subsequent Closing Date, if any, the Company and the Issuer Trust shall have furnished to the Placement Agent such further information, instruments, certificates and documents, as may be reasonably requested by the Placement Agent, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Placement Agent.

Notice of such termination shall be given to the Company and the Issuer Trust in writing or by telephone or facsimile confirmed in writing.

7. [Reserved]

8. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) Each Placement Agent, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Issuer Trust, and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, and each person or entity who controls the Company or the Issuer Trust within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act against any and all Claims (as defined below), as incurred, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the 1934 Act or other federal or state law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any information (whether oral or written) or documents furnished or made available by the Placement Agent to the Company, the Issuer Trust or any Purchaser of Securities, including the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal fees or charges or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in

- E-20 -

connection with preparing, investigating, defending or settling any such Claim; provided, however, the Placement Agents, the Company and the Issuer Trust hereby agree that the only information so provided by the Placement Agent is that information described in the last clause of the proviso to Section 3(bb) hereof. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Placement Agent may otherwise have.

(b) The Company and the Issuer Trust agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold harmless the Placement Agent and its directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, and each person or entity who controls the Placement Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, and the respective heirs, and personal and legal representatives of such individuals, against any and all losses, expenses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, actions, investigations or proceedings of any nature (“Claims”), as incurred, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the 1934 Act or other federal or state law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based upon any breach of this Agreement or any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any information (whether oral or written) or documents furnished or made available to the Placement Agent or any Purchaser of Securities, including the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal fees or charges or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with preparing, investigating, defending or settling any such Claim; provided, however, neither the Company nor the Issuer Trust will be liable to the Placement Agent, its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls such Placement Agent in any such case to the extent that any such Claim arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Placement Agent specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information is described in the proviso to Section 3(bb) hereof, unless such Claim arises out of the offer or sale of Capital Securities occurring after the Placement Agent has notified the Company and Issuer Trust in writing that such information should no longer be used therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company or the Issuer Trust may otherwise have.

(c) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer Trust against all Claims to which the Issuer Trust may be liable under Section 8(b) hereunder.

(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any Claim, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder, except and to the extent it is materially prejudiced as a result thereof, and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this Section 8. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and charges of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as expressly set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party (and which may be counsel to the indemnifying party). Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party

- E-21 -

shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees and charges of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action, investigation, proceeding or Claim include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or proceeding, or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize in writing the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. It is understood and agreed that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses and charges of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and charges of more than one separate identified counsel (in addition to one identified local counsel for each applicable jurisdiction) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and charges shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the indemnified parties in the case of parties to be indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b) hereof. An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its prior written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there is a final, nonappealable judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability on all Claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding or arise therefrom or related thereto, and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsections (a), (b) or (c) above in respect of any Claims referred to therein and with respect to which such party would otherwise be entitled to indemnity by virtue thereof, then each indemnifying party shall contribute the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Claims, as incurred, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Issuer Trust, on the one hand, and the Placement Agent, on the other hand, from the offering of the Capital Securities. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give notice required under subsection (d) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and the Issuer Trust, on the one hand, and the Placement Agent, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Issuer Trust, on the one hand, and the Placement Agent, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the Offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Issuer Trust and the Company bear to the total fees received by the Placement Agent in connection with the sale of the Securities. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to

- E-22 -

state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company and the Issuer Trust, on the one hand, or the Placement Agent, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The Offerors and the Placement Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the Claims referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any reasonable legal fees and charges or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with preparing for, investigating or defending any such action, claim or proceeding. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), the Placement Agent shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the Placement Agent Fee (net of expenses, whether or not reimbursed by the Company) which the Placement Agent has actually received from the sale of Capital Securities.

No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Securities Act, Section 11(f) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentations.

9. Termination.

(a) This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Placement Agent, by notice given to the Company and the Issuer Trust prior to delivery of and payment for the Capital Securities as provided in Section 6, or earlier, if any Offeror representation or warranty is inaccurate, or if either Offeror fails or is unable to perform, or gives notice of its intent not to perform, any of its covenants, agreements and obligations hereunder.

(b) If after a reasonable period of time but not less than 60 days following the commencement of the Offering by delivery of the Offering Memorandum to prospective Purchasers, the Company, the Issuer Trust and the Placement Agent mutually determine that the Issuer Trust has not received offers from Investors to purchase Capital Securities on reasonably acceptable terms and conditions and no Capital Securities have been sold, the Placement Agent’s agency under this Agreement may be terminated by written consent of the Company, the Issuer Trust and the Placement Agent. Such termination will be without obligation on the Placement Agent’s part or on the part of the Company or the Issuer Trust, except as provided in Sections 8 and 11 hereof.

10. Other Agreements.

(a) Each of the Company and the Issuer Trust acknowledges and agrees that it has made and will make its own decisions with respect to, the desirability to it of the offering, pricing and sale of the Securities, and has not relied and will not rely upon the Placement Agent in making such evaluations and decisions. It is understood and agreed that the Placement Agent will act under this Agreement as an independent contractor with only the express duties specified herein. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall be deemed to create a fiduciary or other relationship between the Placement Agent and (i) the Issuer Trust, (ii) the Company or its shareholders or holders of its other securities or any Subsidiary, or (iii) any Purchaser or prospective Purchaser. This Agreement is not intended to and shall not confer on any person or entity other than the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns (and , for purposes of Section 8 only, such other persons specified in Section 8), any relationship, rights or

- E-23 -

remedies under or by reason of this Agreement or as a result of the services to be rendered by the Placement Agent hereunder, whether as third party beneficiaries or otherwise.

(b) The Company authorizes the Placement Agent, following Closing, (i) to place advertisements in financial and other newspapers and journals (including electronic versions thereof) at its own expense describing the Transactions generally, (ii) to use the Company’s corporate logo in such advertising or related promotional materials (including electronic versions thereof) concerning the Placement Agent’s services hereunder, and (iii) to include the Transaction and the Company in lists of transactions and customers.

(c) The Company acknowledges and agrees that there are no understandings, arrangements or agreements with respect to the offer or sale of the Securities or the Transactions with any finders, brokers, underwriters, agents, salesmen, dealers, representatives or other persons (other than the Placement Agent as provided herein) which have any interest in compensation due to the Placement Agent from any Transactions, and the Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Placement Agent from and against any and all Claims for such compensation.

11. Survival. The respective representations, warranties and covenants made by or on behalf of the Company and the Issuer Trust or their respective officers or trustees and of the Placement Agent set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Placement Agent, the Company or the Issuer Trust, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Capital Securities and shall be deemed made as to and for the benefit of any Purchaser of the Capital Securities. The provisions of Sections 1(d), 3, 5, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 hereof shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Capital Securities or any termination or cancellation of this Agreement, and shall remain in full force and effect, provided that upon a termination or cancellation of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, all the foregoing provisions shall survive if any Capital Securities have been sold, and if no Capital Securities have been sold, all such provisions shall survive and continue in full force and effect, and provided further that as to Section 5 only, subsections 5(c), 5(l), 5(m) and 5(u) shall continue in full force and effect, but the other provisions of Section 5 shall not survive.

12. Notices.
