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 Notes. Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be cumulative, and will accumulate whether or not there are funds of the Trust available for the payment of Distributions. Accordingly:

(i) Distributions shall accrue from October 5, 2007 and, except in the event (and to the extent) that the Sponsor exercises its right to defer the payment of interest on the Junior Subordinated Notes pursuant to the Supplemental Indenture, shall be payable on the same payment dates beginning on November 15, 2007 (each such date on which Distributions are payable in accordance with this Section 4.1(a), a “Distribution Date”).

(ii) Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be payable on the Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities at the rate per annum equal to the rate of interest on the Junior Subordinated Notes. The amount of Distributions payable shall be computed on the basis of (i) a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months until November 15, 2017 and (ii) a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed thereafter. The amount of Distributions payable for any period shall include any Additional Amounts in respect of such period. In the event (and to the extent) that the Sponsor exercises its right under the Supplemental Indenture to defer the payment of interest on the Junior Subordinated Notes, Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be deferred but shall continue to accumulate.

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

(b) Distributions on the Trust Securities with respect to a Distribution Date shall be payable to the Holders thereof as they appear on the Securities Register for the Trust Securities on the relevant record date, which shall be one Business Day prior to such Distribution Date; provided, however, that in the event that the Trust Preferred Securities do not remain in book-entry-only form, the relevant record date shall be fifteen days prior to the relevant Distribution Date (whether or not such record date is a Business Day).

Section 4.2 Redemption.

(a) On each Note Redemption Date and on the repayment date of the Junior Subordinated Notes pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Supplemental Indenture, the Trust will be required to redeem a Like Amount of Trust Securities at the Redemption Price.

(b) Notice of redemption of the Trust Securities, other than any redemption relating to the repayment of the Junior Subordinated Notes, shall be given by the Property Trustee by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Trust Securities to be redeemed, at such Holder’s address appearing in the Security Register. Notice of any redemption of the Trust Securities relating to the repayment of the Junior Subordinated Notes, shall be given by the Property Trustee by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 10 Business Days nor more than 30 Business Days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Trust Securities to be redeemed, at such Holder’s address appearing in the Security Register; provided that the Sponsor will give the Property Trustee at least 15 Business Days prior written notice of such request. All notices of redemption shall state:

(i) the Redemption Date;

(ii) the Redemption Price;

(iii) the CUSIP number;

(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 accrue on and after said date;

(vi) if the Trust Preferred Securities are no longer in book-entry-only form, the place and address where the Holders shall surrender their Trust Preferred Securities Certificates; and

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

(c) The Trust Securities redeemed on each Redemption Date shall be redeemed at the Redemption Price with the proceeds from the contemporaneous redemption of Junior Subordinated Notes. 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 Trust has funds then on hand and available in the Payment Account for the payment of such Redemption Price.

(d) If the Property Trustee gives a notice of redemption in respect of any Trust Preferred Securities, then, by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Redemption Date, subject to Section 4.2(c), the Property Trustee, or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Property Trustee, will, so long as the Trust Preferred Securities are in book-entry-only form, irrevocably deposit with the Clearing Agency for the Trust Preferred Securities funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price and an Administrative Trustee will give such Clearing Agency irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Redemption Price in immediately available funds to the Owners thereof. If the Trust Preferred Securities are no longer in book-entry-only form, the Property Trustee, subject to Section 4.2(c), will irrevocably deposit with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price and will give the Paying Agent irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Redemption Price to the Holders thereof upon surrender of their Trust Preferred Securities Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Distributions payable on or prior to the Redemption Date for any Trust Securities called for redemption shall be payable to the Holders of such Trust Securities as they appear on the Securities Register for the Trust Securities on the relevant record dates for the related Distribution Dates. If notice of redemption shall have been given and funds deposited as required, then upon the date of such deposit, all rights of Holders 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 thereon, and such Trust Securities will cease to be outstanding. In the event that any date on which any Redemption Price is payable is not a Business Day, then payment of the Redemption Price payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay), except that, if such Business Day falls in the next calendar year, such payment will be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, 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 Trust or by the Sponsor pursuant to the Guarantee, Distributions on such Trust Securities will continue to accumulate, at the then applicable rate, from the Redemption Date originally established by the Trust for such Trust Securities to the date such Redemption Price is actually paid, in which case the actual payment date will be the date fixed for redemption for purposes of calculating the Redemption Price.

(e) Payment of the Redemption Price on the Trust Securities shall be made to the recordholders thereof as they appear on the Securities Register for the Trust Securities on the relevant record date, which shall be one Business Day prior to the relevant Redemption Date; provided, however, that in the event that the Trust Preferred Securities do not remain in book-entry-only form, the relevant record date shall be the date fifteen days prior to the relevant Redemption Date; provided, further that, Distributions to be paid on Distribution Dates on or before the Redemption Date for any Trust Preferred Securities called for redemption shall be payable to the recordholders thereof for the related Distribution Dates.

(f) Subject to Section 4.3(a), if less than all the Outstanding Trust Securities are to be redeemed on a Redemption Date, then the aggregate Liquidation Amount of Trust Securities to be redeemed shall be allocated on a pro rata basis (based on Liquidation Amounts) among the Trust Common Securities and the Trust Preferred Securities. The particular Trust Preferred Securities to be redeemed shall be determined on a pro rata basis (based upon Liquidation Amounts) not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Property Trustee from the Outstanding Trust Preferred Securities not previously called for redemption. The Property Trustee shall promptly notify the Security Registrar in writing of the Trust Preferred Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Trust Preferred Securities selected for partial redemption, the Liquidation Amount thereof to be redeemed. For all purposes of this Trust Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Trust Securities shall relate, in the case of any Trust Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the Liquidation Amount of Trust Securities that has been or is to be redeemed.

Section 4.3 Subordination of Trust Common Securities.

(a) Payment of Distributions (including Additional Amounts, if applicable) on, and the Redemption Price of, the Trust Securities, as applicable, shall be made, pro rata among the Trust Common Securities and the Trust Preferred Securities based on the Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities; provided, however, that if on any Distribution Date or Redemption Date any Event of Default resulting from a Note Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no payment of any Distribution (including Additional Amounts, if applicable) on, or Redemption Price of, any Trust Common Security, and no other payment on account of the redemption, liquidation or other acquisition of Trust Common Securities, shall be made unless payment in full in cash of all accumulated and unpaid Distributions (including Additional Amounts, if applicable) on all Outstanding Trust Preferred Securities for all Distribution Periods terminating on or prior thereto, or in the case of payment of the Redemption Price the full amount of such Redemption Price on all Outstanding Trust Preferred Securities then called for redemption, 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 Additional Amounts, if applicable) on, or the Redemption Price of, Trust Preferred Securities then due and payable.

(b) In the case of the occurrence of any Event of Default resulting from any Note Event of Default the Holder of Trust Common Securities will be deemed to have waived any right to act with respect to any such Event of Default under this Trust Agreement until the effect of all such Events of Default with respect to the Trust Preferred Securities have been

cured, waived or otherwise eliminated, and until any such Event of Default under this Trust Agreement with respect to the Trust Preferred Securities has been so cured, waived or otherwise eliminated, the Property Trustee shall act solely on behalf of the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities and not the Holder of the Trust Common Securities, and only the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities will have the right to direct the Property Trustee.

Section 4.4 Payment Procedures.

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

Section 4.5 Tax Returns and Reports.

The Administrative Trustees shall prepare (or cause to be prepared), at the Sponsor’s expense, and file all United States federal, state and local tax and information returns and reports required to be filed by or in respect of the Trust. In this regard, the Administrative Trustees shall (a) prepare and file (or cause to be prepared and filed) the appropriate Internal Revenue Service form required to be filed in respect of the Trust in each taxable year of the Trust and (b) prepare and furnish (or cause to be prepared and furnished) to each Holder the appropriate Internal Revenue Service form and the information required to be provided on such form. The Administrative Trustees shall provide the Sponsor and the Property Trustee with a copy of all such returns and reports promptly after such filing or furnishing. The Trustees shall comply with United States federal withholding and backup withholding tax laws and information reporting requirements with respect to any payments to Holders under the Trust Securities.

Section 4.6 Payments under Supplemental Indenture or Pursuant to Direct Actions.

Any amount payable hereunder to any Holder of Trust Preferred Securities (or any Owner with respect thereto) shall be reduced by the amount of any corresponding payment such Holder (or Owner) has directly received pursuant to Section 2.12 of the Supplemental Indenture or Section 5.14 of this Trust Agreement.

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 Sections 5.4, 5.11 and 5.13.

Upon such delivery the Property Trustee shall, without further corporate action by the Sponsor, authenticate such Trust Securities Certificates in authorized denominations.

Each Trust Securities Certificate shall be dated the date of its authentication.

No Trust Preferred Securities Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Trust Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Trust Preferred Securities Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for in the form attached as Exhibit C executed by the Property Trustee by the manual signature of one of its Authorized Officers, and such certificate upon any Trust Preferred Securities Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Trust Preferred Securities Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 5.4 Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Trust Preferred Securities Certificates.

The Administrative Trustees shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 5.8, a register or registers for the purpose of registering Trust Securities Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Trust Preferred Securities Certificates (the “Securities Register”) in which, the registrar designated by the Administrative Trustees (the “Securities Registrar”), subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, shall provide for the registration of Trust Preferred Securities Certificates and Trust Common Securities Certificates (subject to Section 5.10 in the case of the Trust Common Securities Certificates) and

registration of transfers and exchanges of Trust Preferred Securities Certificates as herein provided. The Bank shall be the initial Securities Registrar.

The Securities Registrar shall not be required to (i) register the transfer of or exchange any Trust Preferred Securities during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of selection for redemption of such Trust Preferred Securities pursuant to Article IV and ending at the close of business on the day of mailing of the notice of redemption, or (ii) transfer or exchange any Trust Preferred Securities so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any such Trust Preferred Securities to be redeemed in part, any portion thereof not to be redeemed. At the option of a Holder, Trust Preferred Securities Certificates may be exchanged for other Trust Preferred Securities Certificates in authorized denominations of the same terms and of a like aggregate Liquidation Amount upon surrender of the Trust Preferred Securities Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 5.8.

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

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Trust Preferred Securities Certificates, but the Securities Registrar, on behalf of the Trust, 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 Trust Preferred Securities Certificates.

A Trust Preferred Securities Certificate that is not a Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificate may be transferred, in whole or in part, to a Person who takes delivery in the form of another Trust Preferred Securities Certificate that is not a Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificate as provided in this Section 5.4.

Section 5.5 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Trust Securities Certificates.

If (a) any mutilated Trust Securities Certificate shall be surrendered to the Securities Registrar, or if the Securities Registrar shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Trust Securities Certificate and (b) there shall be delivered to the Securities Registrar and the Administrative Trustees such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice that such Trust

Securities Certificate shall have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Administrative Trustees, or any one of them, on behalf of the Trust shall execute and make available for delivery, 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 Administrative Trustees or the Securities Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. Any duplicate Trust Securities Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of an undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the 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 5.6 Persons Deemed Holders.

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

Section 5.7 Access to List of Holders’ Names and Addresses.

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

Section 5.8 Maintenance of Office or Agency.

The Administrative Trustees shall maintain an office or offices or agency or agencies where Trust Preferred Securities Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Trustees in respect of the Trust Securities Certificates may be served. The Administrative Trustees initially designate The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., 700 South Flower Street, Suite 500, Los Angeles, California 90017, Attn: Corporate Unit, as an office for such purposes. The Administrative Trustees shall give prompt written notice to the Sponsor, the Bank and the Holders of any change in the location of the Securities Register or any such office or agency.

The Sponsor may at any time rescind the designation or approve a change in the location of any office or agency, in addition to the Securities Registrar, designated by it where Holders can surrender the Trust Preferred Securities for registration of transfer or exchange. However, the Trust will be required to maintain an office or agency for such purpose.

Section 5.9 Appointment of Paying Agent.

The Paying Agent shall make Distributions to Holders from the Payment Account and shall report the amounts of such Distributions to the Property Trustee and the Administrative Trustees. Any Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to withdraw funds from the Payment

Account solely for the purpose of making the Distributions referred to above. The Administrative Trustees may revoke such power and remove the Paying Agent if such Trustees determine in their sole discretion that the Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its obligations under this Trust Agreement in any material respect. The Paying Agent shall initially be the Bank, and any co-paying agent chosen by the Property Trustee, and acceptable to the Administrative Trustees and the Sponsor. Any Person acting as Paying Agent shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent upon 30 days’ written notice to the Administrative Trustees, the Property Trustee and the Sponsor. In the event that the Bank shall no longer be the Paying Agent or a successor Paying Agent shall resign or its authority to act be revoked, the Administrative Trustees shall appoint a successor that is acceptable to the Property Trustee and the Sponsor to act as Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company). The Administrative Trustees shall cause such successor Paying Agent or any additional Paying Agent appointed by the Administrative Trustees to execute and deliver to the Trustees an instrument in which such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent shall agree with the 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 shall apply to the Bank also in its role as Paying Agent, for so long as the Bank shall act as Paying Agent and, to the extent applicable, to any other paying agent appointed hereunder. Any reference in this Trust Agreement to the Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise.

Section 5.10 Ownership of Trust Common Securities by Sponsor.

On the Closing Date, the Sponsor shall acquire and retain beneficial and record ownership of the Trust Common Securities. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Sponsor may not transfer the Trust Common Securities except (i) in connection with a consolidation or merger of the Sponsor into another Person or any conveyance, transfer or lease by the Sponsor of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, pursuant to Article VIII of the Base Indenture, or (ii) to an Affiliate of the Sponsor in compliance with applicable law (including the Securities Act and applicable state securities and blue sky laws). To the fullest extent permitted by law, any attempted transfer of the Trust Common Securities other than as set forth in the preceding sentence shall be void. The Administrative Trustees shall cause each Trust Common Securities Certificate issued to the Sponsor to contain a legend stating “THIS CERTIFICATE IS NOT TRANSFERABLE EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW AND THE TRUST AGREEMENT.”

(a) The Trust Preferred Securities Certificates, upon original issuance, will be issued in the form of a typewritten Trust Preferred Securities Certificate or Certificates representing Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificates, to be delivered to The Depository Trust Company, the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Trust. Such Trust Preferred Securities Certificate or Certificates shall initially be registered on the Securities

Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency, and no Owner will receive a Definitive Trust Preferred Securities Certificate representing such Owner’s interest in such Trust Preferred Securities, except as provided in Section 5.13. Unless and until Definitive Trust Preferred Securities Certificates have been issued to Owners pursuant to Section 5.13:

(i) the provisions of this Section 5.11(a) shall be in full force and effect;

(ii) the Securities Registrar and the Trustees shall be entitled to deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes of this Trust Agreement relating to the Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificates (including the payment of the Distributions on, and the Redemption Price and Liquidation Amount of, or Liquidation Distribution with respect to, the Trust Preferred Securities evidenced by Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificates and the giving of instructions or directions to Owners of Trust Preferred Securities evidenced by Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificates) as the sole Holder of Trust Preferred Securities evidenced by Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificates and shall have no obligations to the Owners thereof;

(iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 5.11 conflict with any other provisions of this Trust Agreement, the provisions of this Section 5.11 shall control;

(iv) the rights of the Owners of the Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificates 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 and/or the Clearing Agency Participants. Pursuant to the Certificate Depository Agreement, unless and until Definitive Trust Preferred Securities Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 5.13, the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit payments on the Trust Preferred Securities to such Clearing Agency Participants; and

(v) The Trust, the Property Trustee, the Administrative Trustees and any agent of the Trust or the Property Trustee shall not be responsible for any acts or omissions of a Clearing Agency, for any Clearing Agency records of beneficial ownership interests or for any transactions between a Clearing Agency and its direct or indirect member participants or between any such participants and beneficial owners of Trust Preferred Securities or between or among any such participants and such beneficial owners.

(b) A single Trust Common Securities Certificate representing the Trust Common Securities shall be issued to the Sponsor in the form of a definitive Trust Common Securities Certificate.

Section 5.12 Notices to Clearing Agency.

To the extent that a notice or other communication to the Owners is required under this Trust Agreement, unless and until Definitive Trust Preferred Securities Certificates shall have been issued to Owners pursuant to Section 5.13, the Trustees shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Owners to the Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligations to the Owners.

Section 5.13 Definitive Trust Preferred Securities Certificates.

If (a) the Sponsor advises the Trustees in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Trust Preferred Securities Certificates, and the Sponsor is unable to locate a qualified successor, (b) the Sponsor at its option advises the Trustees in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or (c) after the occurrence of a Note Event of Default, Owners of Trust Preferred Securities Certificates representing beneficial interests aggregating at least a majority of the Liquidation Amount advise the Administrative Trustees in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interest of the Owners of Trust Preferred Securities Certificates, then the Administrative Trustees shall notify the Clearing Agency and the other Trustees and the Clearing Agency shall notify all Owners of Trust Preferred Securities Certificates of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of the Definitive Trust Preferred Securities Certificates to Owners of such class or classes, as applicable, requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Administrative Trustees of the typewritten Trust Preferred Securities Certificate or Certificates representing the Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificates by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Administrative Trustees, or any one of them, shall execute the Definitive Trust Preferred Securities Certificates in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. Neither the Securities Registrar nor the Trustees shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Trust Preferred Securities Certificates, the Trustees shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Trust Preferred Securities Certificates as Holders. The Definitive Trust Preferred Securities Certificates shall be typewritten, printed, lithographed or engraved or may be produced in any other manner as is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Trustees that meets the requirements of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Trust Preferred Securities are then listed or approved for trading, as evidenced by the execution thereof by the Administrative Trustees or any one of them.

Section 5.14 Rights of Holders.

(a) Legal title to all Trust Property shall be vested at all times exclusively in the Property Trustee (in its capacity as such) in accordance with Section 2.9, and the Holders shall not have any right or title therein other than the undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the Trust conferred by their Trust Securities and they shall have no right to call for any partition or division of property, profits or rights of the Trust except as described below. The Trust Securities shall be personal property giving only the rights specifically set forth therein and in this Trust Agreement. The Trust Securities shall have no preemptive or similar rights and when issued and delivered to Holders against payment of the purchase price therefor will be fully paid

and nonassessable by the Trust. The Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities, in their capacities as such, shall be entitled to the same limitation of personal liability extended to stockholders of private corporations for profit organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

(b) For so long as any Trust Preferred Securities remain Outstanding, if, upon a Note Event of Default, the Indenture Trustee fails or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Junior Subordinated Notes fail to declare the principal of all of the Junior Subordinated Notes to be immediately due and payable as set forth in the Supplemental Indenture and the Junior Subordinated Notes are beneficially owned by the Trust or the Property Trustee, the Property Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Preferred Securities then Outstanding shall have such right by a notice in writing to the Sponsor and the Indenture Trustee; and upon any such declaration such principal amount of and the accrued interest on all of the Junior Subordinated Notes shall become immediately due and payable, provided that the payment of principal, premium and interest on such Junior Subordinated Notes shall remain subordinated to the extent provided in the Indenture.

At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Junior Subordinated Notes has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as in the Supplemental Indenture provided, if the holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Junior Subordinated Notes do not rescind and annul such declaration and the Junior Subordinated Notes are beneficially owned by the Trust or the Property Trustee, the Holders of a majority in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Preferred Securities, by written notice to the Property Trustee, the Sponsor and the Indenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

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

(A) all overdue installments of interest (including any Additional Interest (as defined in the Indenture)) on all of the Junior Subordinated Notes,

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

(C) all sums paid or advanced by the Indenture Trustee under the Base 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 Notes, other than the non-payment of the principal of the Junior Subordinated Notes which has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or

waived as provided in Section 5.13 of the Base Indenture and Section 2.9(d) of the Supplemental Indenture.

The holders of a majority in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Trust Preferred Securities may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Trust Preferred Securities, waive any past default under the Supplemental Indenture, except a default in the payment of principal, premium or interest (unless all Events of Default with respect to the Junior Subordinated Notes, other than the non-payment of the principal of the Junior Subordinated Notes which has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or annulled as provided in Section 5.13 of the Base Indenture and Section 2.9(d) of the Supplemental Indenture and the Sponsor has paid or deposited with the Indenture Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all overdue installments of interest (including any Additional Interest (as defined in the Indenture)) on the Junior Subordinated Notes, the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Junior Subordinated Notes which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate borne by the Junior Subordinated Notes, and all sums paid or advanced by the Indenture Trustee under the Base Indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and the Property trustee, their agents and counsel) or a default in respect of a covenant or provision which under the Base Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding Junior Subordinated Note. 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 Trust Preferred Securities all or part of which is represented by Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificates, a record date shall be established for determining Holders of Outstanding Trust Preferred Securities entitled to join in such notice, which record date shall be at the close of business on the day the Property Trustee receives such notice. The Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such notice, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, that, unless such declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having joined in such notice prior to the day 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 5.14(b).

(c) For so long as any Trust Preferred Securities remain Outstanding, to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the terms of this Trust Agreement, the Indenture, upon (i) a breach by the Sponsor of its obligations under Section 2.2(a) of the Supplemental Indenture to sell Qualifying Capital Securities (as defined therein) or Section 2.7 of the Supplemental Indenture to issue Qualifying APM Securities (as defined therein), (ii) a Note Event of Default specified in Section 2.9(a) of the Supplemental Indenture or (iii) the failure of the Sponsor to make any payments on the Junior Subordinated Notes when due, any Holder of Trust Preferred Securities shall have the right to institute a proceeding directly against the

Sponsor, pursuant to Section 2.12 of the Supplemental Indenture, for enforcement of payment to such Holder of any amounts payable in respect of the principal amount of or premium or interest on Junior Subordinated Notes having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Trust Preferred Securities of such Holder (a “Direct Action”). Except as set forth in Section 5.14(b) and this Section 5.14(c), the Holders of Trust Preferred Securities shall have no right to exercise directly any right or remedy available to the holders of, or in respect of, the Junior Subordinated Notes.

ARTICLE VI

ACTS OF HOLDERS; MEETINGS; VOTING

Section 6.1 Limitations on Voting Rights.

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

(b) So long as any Junior Subordinated Notes are held by the Property Trustee, the Trustees shall not (i) direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee, or executing any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee with respect to such Junior Subordinated Notes, (ii) waive any past default which is waivable under Section 5.13 of the Base Indenture and Section 2.9(d) of the Supplemental Indenture, (iii) exercise any right to rescind or annul a declaration that the principal of all the Junior Subordinated Notes shall be due and payable or (iv) consent to any amendment, modification or termination of the Base Indenture or the Junior Subordinated Notes, where such consent shall be required, without, in each case, obtaining the prior approval of the Holders of at least a majority in Liquidation Amount of all Outstanding Trust Preferred Securities, provided, however, that where a consent under the Supplemental Indenture would require the consent of each holder of Junior Subordinated Notes affected thereby, no such consent shall be given by the Property Trustee without the prior written consent of each Holder of Trust Preferred Securities. The Trustees shall not revoke any action previously authorized or approved by a vote of the Holders of Trust Preferred Securities, except by a subsequent vote of the Holders of Trust Preferred Securities. The Property Trustee shall notify all Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities of any notice of default received from the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Junior Subordinated Notes. In addition to obtaining the foregoing approvals of the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities, prior to taking any of the foregoing actions, the Trustees shall, at the expense of the Sponsor, obtain an Opinion of Counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that such action shall not cause the Trust to be classified as other than a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes.

(c) If any proposed amendment to this Trust Agreement provides for, or the Trustees otherwise propose to effect, (i) any action that would adversely affect in any material respect the powers, preferences or special rights of the Trust Preferred Securities, whether by way of amendment to this Trust Agreement or otherwise, or (ii) the dissolution, winding-up or

termination of the Trust, other than pursuant to the terms of this Trust Agreement, then the Holders of Outstanding Trust Preferred Securities as a class will be entitled to vote on such amendment or proposal and such amendment or proposal shall not be effective except with the approval of the Holders of at least a majority in Liquidation Amount of the Outstanding Trust Preferred Securities. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust Agreement, no amendment to this Trust Agreement may be made if, as a result of such amendment, it would cause the Trust to be classified as other than a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes.

Section 6.2 Notice of Meetings and Actions by Written Consent.

Notice of all meetings of the Holders of Trust Preferred Securities, or of any matter upon which action by written consent of the Holders of Trust Preferred Securities is to be taken, stating the time, place and purpose of the meeting or describing such matter in full, as applicable, shall be given by the Property Trustee pursuant to Section 11.8 to each Holder of Trust Preferred Securities 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 of Trust Preferred Securities.

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

Holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Trust Preferred Securities (based upon their Liquidation Amount), present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of Holders.

If a quorum is present at a meeting, an affirmative vote by the Holders, in person or by proxy, holding at least a majority of the Trust Preferred Securities (based upon their Liquidation Amount) held by the Holders present, either in person or by proxy, at such meeting shall constitute the action of the Holders of Trust Preferred 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 $1,000 of Liquidation Amount represented by their 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 thereat may vote by proxy, provided that no proxy shall be voted at any meeting unless it shall have been placed on file with the Administrative Trustees, or with such other officer or agent of the Trust as the Administrative Trustees may direct, for verification prior to the time at which such vote shall be taken. Pursuant to a resolution of the Property Trustee, proxies may be solicited in the name of the Property Trustee or one or more officers of the Property Trustee. Only Holders of record shall be entitled to vote. When Trust Securities are held jointly by several Persons, any one of them may vote at any meeting in person or by proxy in respect of such Trust Securities, but if more than one of them shall be present at such meeting in person or by proxy, and such joint owners or their proxies so present disagree as to any vote to be cast, such vote shall not be received in respect of such Trust Securities. A proxy purporting to be executed by or on behalf of a Holder shall be deemed valid unless challenged at or prior to its exercise, and the burden of proving invalidity shall rest on the challenger. No proxy shall be valid more than three years after its date of execution.

Section 6.6 Holder Action by Written Consent.

Any action which may be taken by Holders at a meeting may be taken without a meeting if Holders holding at least a majority of all Outstanding Trust Securities (based upon their Liquidation Amount) entitled to vote in respect of such action (or such larger proportion thereof as shall be required by any express provision of this Trust Agreement) shall consent to the action in writing.

Section 6.7 Record Date for Voting and Other Purposes.

For the 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 Agreement, or for the purpose of any other action, the Administrative Trustees 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.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Trust Agreement to be given, made or taken by Holders or Owners may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders or Owners in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to an Administrative Trustee. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders or Owners signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing

any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Trust Agreement and (subject to Section 8.1) conclusive in favor of the Trustees, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

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

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

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

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

(g) A Holder may institute a legal proceeding directly against the Sponsor under the Guarantee to enforce its rights under the Guarantee without first instituting a legal proceeding against the Trust or any person or entity.

Section 6.9 Inspection of Records.

Upon reasonable notice to the Administrative Trustees and the Property Trustee, the records of the 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 TRUSTEES

Section 8.1 Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

(a) The rights, duties and responsibilities of the Trustees shall be as provided by this Trust Agreement and, in the case of the Property Trustee, by the Trust Indenture Act. For purposes of Sections 315(a) and 315(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, the term “default” is hereby defined to mean an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Trust Agreement shall require the Trustees to expend or risk their own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of their duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of their rights or powers, if they shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. The Delaware Trustee shall have no liability under this Trust Agreement except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Property Trustee shall have no liability under this Trust Agreement except for its negligence or willful misconduct. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Trust Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustees shall be subject to the provisions of this Section. Nothing in this Trust Agreement shall

be construed to release an Administrative Trustee from liability for its own gross negligent action, its own gross negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct. To the extent that, at law or in equity, the Delaware Trustee or an Administrative Trustee has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Trust or to the Holders, the Delaware Trustee or such Administrative Trustee shall not be liable to the Trust or to any Holder for such Trustee’s good faith reliance on the provisions of this Trust Agreement. The provisions of this Trust Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of the Delaware Trustee or the Administrative Trustees otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Sponsor and the Holders to replace such other duties and liabilities of the Administrative Trustees.

(b) All payments made by the Property Trustee or a Paying Agent in respect of the Trust Securities shall be made only from the income and proceeds from the Trust Property and only to the extent that there shall be sufficient income 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 income and proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent legally available for distribution to it as herein provided and that the Trustees, their officers, directors, shareholders and agents are not personally liable to it for any amount distributable in respect of any Trust Security or for any other liability in respect of any Trust Security. This Section 8.1(b) does not limit the liability of the Trustees expressly set forth elsewhere in this Trust Agreement or, in the case of the Property Trustee, in the Trust Indenture Act.

(c) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Property Trustee shall enforce this Trust Agreement for the benefit of the Holders.

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

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

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

(iii) the Property Trustee’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safe keeping and physical preservation of the Junior Subordinated Notes and the Payment Account shall be, (A) before the occurrence of any Event of Default and after the curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, to undertake to perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Trust Agreement and the Trust Indenture Act, and (B) in case an Event of Default has occurred (that has

not been cured or waived pursuant hereto), to 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 in the conduct of his or her own affairs, subject to the protections and limitations on liability afforded to the Property Trustee under this Trust Agreement and the Trust Indenture Act;

(iv) the Property Trustee shall not be liable for any interest on any money received by it except as it may otherwise agree with the Sponsor; 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;

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

(vi) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Trust Agreement to the contrary, the duties and responsibilities of the Property Trustee under this Trust Agreement shall be subject to the protections, exculpations and limitations on liability afforded to an indenture trustee under the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act. For the purposes of Sections 315(b) and 315(d)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act, the term “responsible officer” is hereby defined as a Responsible Officer; and

(vii) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Trust Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Property Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section.

Section 8.2 Certain Notices.

Within 30 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Property, the Property Trustee shall transmit, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 11.8, notice of such Event of Default to the Holders, the Administrative Trustees and the Sponsor, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.

Promptly after the receipt of notice of the Sponsor’s exercise of its right to defer the payment of interest on the Junior Subordinated Notes pursuant to the Supplemental Indenture, the Property Trustee shall transmit, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 11.8, notice of such exercise to the Holders and the Property Trustee, unless such exercise shall have been revoked. For the purpose of this Section 8.2, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default.

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) if (i) in performing its duties under this Trust Agreement the Property Trustee is required to decide between alternative courses of action or (ii) in construing any of the provisions of this Trust Agreement the Property Trustee finds the same ambiguous or inconsistent with any other provisions contained herein or (iii) the Property Trustee is unsure of the application of any provision of this Trust Agreement, then, except as to any matter as to which the Holders of Trust Preferred Securities are entitled to vote under the terms of this Trust Agreement, the Property Trustee shall deliver a notice to the Sponsor requesting written instructions of the Sponsor as to the course of action to be taken and the Property Trustee shall take such action, or refrain from taking such action, as the Property Trustee shall be instructed in writing to take, or to refrain from taking, by the Sponsor; provided, however, that if the Property Trustee does not receive such instructions of the Sponsor within ten Business Days after it has delivered such notice, or such reasonably shorter period of time set forth in such notice (which to the extent practicable shall not be less than two Business Days), it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action not inconsistent with this Trust Agreement as it shall deem advisable and in the best interests of the Holders, in which event the Property Trustee shall have no liability except for its own bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct;

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

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.

Section 8.9 Co-Trustees and Separate Property Trustee.

Unless a Note Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time or from time to time, 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 Sponsor and the Administrative Trustees, by agreed action of the majority of such Trustees, shall have power to appoint, and upon the written request of the Administrative Trustees, the Sponsor shall for such purpose join with the Administrative Trustees 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. If the Sponsor does not join in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in case a Note Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the

Property Trustee alone shall have power to make such appointment. Any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed pursuant to this Section shall satisfy the requirements of Section 8.7.

Should any written instrument from the Sponsor 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 Sponsor.

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 and delivered 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 Trustees specified hereunder shall be exercised solely by such Trustees and not by such co-trustee or separate trustee.

(b) The rights, powers, duties, and obligations hereby conferred or imposed upon the Property Trustee in respect of any property covered by such appointment shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Property Trustee or by the Property Trustee and such co-trustee or separate trustee jointly, as shall be provided in the instrument appointing such co-trustee or separate trustee, except to the extent that under any law 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 Sponsor, may accept the resignation of or remove any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed under this Section, and, in case a Note 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 Sponsor. Upon the written request of the Property Trustee, the Sponsor 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.

(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 Trustees shall not be liable by reason of any act or omission 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 Trustee (the “Relevant Trustee”) and no appointment of a successor Relevant Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Relevant Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11.

Subject to the immediately preceding paragraph, the Relevant Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Holders. If the instrument of acceptance by the successor Relevant Trustee required by Section 8.11 shall not have been delivered to the Relevant Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Relevant Trustee may petition, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Relevant Trustee.

The Administrative Trustees, or any of them, may be removed at any time by Act of the Holder of Trust Common Securities delivered to the Relevant Trustee.

The Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, or both of them, may be removed by Act of the Holders of at least a majority in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Preferred Securities, delivered to the Relevant Trustee (in its individual capacity and, in the case of the Property Trustee, on behalf of the Trust) at any time if a Note Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Unless and until a Note Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, or both of them, may be removed at any time by Act of the Holder of Trust Common Securities.

If any Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting as Trustee, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of any Trustee for any cause, at a time when no Note Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Holder of Trust Common Securities, by Act of the Holder of Trust Common Securities delivered to the retiring Trustee, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees, and the retiring Trustee shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11. If the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of continuing to act as the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, at a time when a Note Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Holders of Trust Preferred Securities, by Act of the Holders of a majority in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Preferred Securities then Outstanding delivered to the retiring Relevant Trustee, shall promptly appoint a successor Relevant Trustee or Trustees, and such successor Trustee shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11. If an Administrative Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting as Administrative Trustee, at a time when a Note Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Holder of Trust Common Securities by Act of the Holder of Trust Common Securities delivered to the Administrative Trustee shall promptly appoint a successor Administrative Trustee or Administrative Trustees and such successor Administrative Trustee or Trustees shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11. If, more than one year after the occurrence of such vacancy, no successor Relevant Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Holder of Trust Common Securities or the Holders of Trust Preferred Securities and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 8.11, any Holder who has been a Holder of Trust Securities for at

least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Relevant Trustee.

The resigning Trustee shall give notice of its resignation or removal and the appointment of a successor Trustee to all Holders in the manner provided in Section 11.8 and shall give notice to the Sponsor. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Relevant Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office if it is the Property Trustee.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Trust Agreement, in the event any Administrative Trustee or a Delaware Trustee who is a natural person dies or becomes, in the opinion of the Sponsor, incompetent or incapacitated, the vacancy created by such death, incompetence or incapacity may be filled by (a) the unanimous act of the remaining Administrative Trustees if there are at least two of them or (b) otherwise by the Sponsor (with the successor in each case being a Person who satisfies the eligibility requirement for Administrative Trustees or Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, set forth in Section 8.7).

Section 8.11 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Trust and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Sponsor or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and if the Property Trustee is the resigning Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to the successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Property Trustee hereunder.

In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Relevant Trustee, the retiring Relevant Trustee and each successor Relevant Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities shall execute and deliver an amendment hereto wherein each successor Relevant Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (a) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Relevant Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Relevant Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities and the 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 Trust by more than one Relevant Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such amendment shall constitute such Relevant Trustees co-trustees and upon the execution and delivery of such amendment the resignation or removal of the retiring Relevant Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Relevant Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Relevant Trustee; but, on request of the 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 Trust.

Upon request of any such successor Relevant Trustee, the Trust shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Relevant Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the first or second preceding paragraph, as the case may be.

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

Section 8.12 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.

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

Section 8.13 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Sponsor or Trust.

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

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of any Distributions owing and unpaid in respect of the Trust Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Property Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Property Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

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

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Property Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization,

arrangement adjustment or compensation affecting the Trust Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Property Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 8.14 Reports by Property Trustee.

(a) Within 60 days after May 15 of each year commencing with May 15, 2008, if required by Section 313(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Property Trustee shall transmit a brief report with respect to any of the events specified in Section 313(a) of the Trust Indenture Act that may have occurred since the later of the date of this Trust Agreement or the immediately preceding May 15.

The Sponsor shall provide to the Property Trustee such documents, reports and information as required by Section 312(a) of the Trust Indenture Act in the form, in the manner and at the times required by Section 312(a) of the Trust Indenture Act.

Delivery of such documents, reports and information is for information purposes only and the Property Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including compliance with any covenants hereunder (as to which the Property Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on an Officers’ Certificate).

Section 8.16 Evidence of Compliance with Conditions Precedent.

Each of the Sponsor and the Administrative Trustees on behalf of the Trust shall provide to the Property Trustee such evidence of compliance with any conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Trust Agreement that relate to any of the matters set forth in Section 314(c) of the Trust Indenture Act.

(d) In the event that, 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 Notes in the manner provided herein is determined by the Property Trustee not to be practical, the Trust Property shall be liquidated, and the Trust shall be dissolved, wound-up or terminated, by the Property Trustee in such manner as the Property Trustee determines. In such event, on the date of the dissolution, winding-up or other termination of the Trust, Holders will be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Trust available for distribution to Holders, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Trust as provided by applicable law, an amount equal to the Liquidation Amount per Trust Security plus accumulated and unpaid Distributions thereon to the date of payment (such amount being the “Liquidation Distribution”). If, upon any such dissolution, winding up or termination, the Liquidation Distribution can be paid only in part because the Trust has insufficient assets available to pay in full the aggregate Liquidation Distribution, then, subject to the next succeeding sentence, the amounts payable by the Trust on the Trust Securities shall be paid on a pro rata basis (based upon Liquidation Amounts). The Holder of the Trust Common Securities will be entitled to receive Liquidation Distributions upon any such dissolution, winding-up or termination pro rata (determined as aforesaid) with Holders of Trust Preferred Securities, except that, if a Note Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trust Preferred Securities shall have a priority over the Trust Common Securities.

Section 9.5 Mergers, Consolidations, Amalgamations or Replacements of the Trust.

The Trust may not merge with or into, consolidate, amalgamate, or be replaced by, or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any corporation or other body, except pursuant to this Section 9.5. At the request of the Sponsor, with the consent of the Administrative Trustees and without the consent of the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities, the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, the Trust may merge with or into, consolidate, amalgamate, or be replaced by or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to a trust organized as such under the laws of any state; provided, that (i) such successor entity either (a) expressly assumes all of the obligations of the Trust with respect to the Trust Preferred Securities or (b) substitutes for the Trust Preferred Securities other securities having substantially the same terms as the Trust Preferred Securities (the “Successor Securities”) so long as the Successor Securities rank the same as the Trust Preferred Securities rank in priority with respect to distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption and otherwise, (ii) the Sponsor expressly appoints a trustee of such successor entity possessing the same powers and duties as the Property Trustee as the holder of the Junior Subordinated Notes, (iii) such transaction does not cause the Trust Preferred Securities (including any Successor Securities) to be downgraded by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, (iv) such transaction does not adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities (including any Successor Securities) in any material respect, (v) such successor entity has purposes substantially identical to that of the Trust, (vi) prior to such transaction, the Sponsor and the Property Trustee have received an Opinion of Counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that (a) such transaction does not adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities (including any Successor Securities) in any material respect, (b) following such transaction, neither the Trust nor such successor entity will be required to register as an

investment company under the Investment Company Act and (c) such transaction will not cause the Trust or the successor entity to be classified as other than a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes, and (vii) the Sponsor or its permitted successor or assignee owns all of the trust common securities of such successor entity and guarantees the obligations of such successor entity under the Successor Securities at least to the extent provided by the Guarantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trust shall not, except with the consent of Holders of 100% in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Preferred Securities, consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or be replaced by or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any other entity or permit any other entity to consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or replace it if such transaction would cause the Trust or the successor entity to be classified as other than a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes.

(d) In addition to and notwithstanding any other provision in this Trust Agreement, without the consent of each affected Holder of Trust Preferred Securities, this Trust Agreement may not be amended to (i) change the amount or timing of any Distribution on the Trust Securities or otherwise adversely affect the amount of any Distribution required to be made in respect of the Trust Securities as of a specified date; (ii) restrict the right of a Holder of Trust Preferred Securities to institute a suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such date; or (iii) impair the rights of the holders of the Trust Preferred Securities to institute a Direct Action; and notwithstanding any other provision herein, without the unanimous consent of the Holders, this Section 11.2(d) may not be amended.

(e) Any such amendment shall become effective when notice thereof is given to the Property Trustee, the Delaware Trustee and the Holders of Trust Preferred Securities.

(f) Neither the Property Trustee nor the Delaware Trustee shall be required to enter into any amendment to this Trust Agreement that affects its own rights, duties or indemnities under this Trust Agreement.
