          WHEREAS, on or before the date hereof the Company has issued other series of Debt Securities pursuant to previous supplements to the Base Indenture;
          WHEREAS, the Company has duly authorized and desires to cause to be issued pursuant to the Base Indenture and this Eighth Supplemental Indenture a new series of Debt Securities designated the “8.375% Fixed/Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Notes due 2066” (the “LoTSSM”), all of such LoTSSM to be guaranteed by the Parent Guarantor as provided in Article XIV of the Indenture (as hereinafter defined) and Article VII of this Eighth Supplemental Indenture;
          WHEREAS, the Company desires to cause the issuance of the LoTSSM pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 2.03 of the Indenture, which sections permit the execution of indentures supplemental thereto to establish the form and terms of Debt Securities of any series, and offer such LoTSSM to the underwriters named in Schedule I to the Underwriting Agreement dated July 13, 2006 among the Company, the Parent Guarantor, the General Partner, and the general partner of the Parent Guarantor in an aggregate principal amount of $300,000,000 on the terms and conditions set forth therein;
          WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Company and the Parent Guarantor have requested that the Trustee join in the execution of this Eighth Supplemental Indenture to establish the form and terms of the LoTSSM; and
          WHEREAS, all things necessary have been done to make the LoTSSM, when executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered hereunder and under the Indenture and duly issued by the Company, and the guarantee thereof by the Parent Guarantor, when the Notation of Guarantee affixed to the LoTSSM has been executed by the Parent Guarantor, the valid obligations of the Company and the Parent Guarantor, respectively, and to make this Eighth Supplemental Indenture a valid agreement of the Company and the Parent Guarantor enforceable in accordance with its terms;

 


 

          NOW, THEREFORE, the Company, the Parent Guarantor, and the Trustee hereby agree that the following provisions shall amend and supplement the Base Indenture:
ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS
          Section 1.1 Definition of Terms. Unless the context otherwise requires:
          (a) a term defined in the Indenture has the same meaning when used in this Eighth Supplemental Indenture; provided, however, that, where a term is defined both in this Eighth Supplemental Indenture and in the Indenture, the meaning given to such term in this Eighth Supplemental Indenture shall control for purposes of this Eighth Supplemental Indenture and, in respect of the LoTSSM, but not any other series of Debt Securities, the Indenture;
          (b) a term defined anywhere in this Eighth Supplemental Indenture has the same meaning throughout this Eighth Supplemental Indenture and, in respect of the LoTSSM, but not any other series of Debt Securities, the Indenture;
          (c) any term used herein which is defined in the TIA, either directly or by reference therein, has the meanings assigned to it therein; and
          (d) the following terms have the following respective meanings:
          “3-month LIBOR Rate” means, for each Quarterly Interest Period during the Floating Rate Period, the interest rate per annum shown on Telerate Page 3750 at or about 11:00 a.m., London time, on the second London Banking Day (the “LIBOR Determination Date”) preceding the first day of such Quarterly Interest Period (the “Reset Date”) for deposits in U.S. dollars with a maturity of three months and commencing on the Reset Date. If such rate does not appear on that page or such other page as shall replace that page for the purpose of displaying offered rates of leading banks for London interbank deposits in U.S. dollars, the 3-month LIBOR Rate shall be determined on the basis of the rates, at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on the LIBOR Determination Date, at which U.S. dollar deposits with a maturity of three months in an amount determined by the Calculation Agent as representative of a single transaction in the relevant market and at the relevant time are offered by four major banks in the London interbank market (“Reference Banks”) selected by the Calculation Agent to prime banks in the London interbank market for the Quarterly Interest Period commencing on the Reset Date. The Calculation Agent will request the principal London office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two quotations are provided as requested, the 3-month LIBOR Rate will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided as requested, the 3-month LIBOR Rate shall be the interest rate per annum equal to the average of the rates per annum quoted by three major banks in New York City or Charlotte, North Carolina selected by the Calculation Agent, at or about 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the LIBOR Determination Date, for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks in amounts that are representative of a single transaction in the relevant market and at the relevant time with a maturity corresponding to the Quarterly Interest Period commencing on the Reset Date. If fewer than three New York City or Charlotte, North Carolina banks selected by the

-2-


 

Calculation Agent are quoting rates, the 3-month LIBOR Rate for the applicable Quarterly Interest Period will be the same as for the immediately preceding Quarterly Interest Period. If the Quarterly Interest Period does not correspond to a period for which rates are available, the 3-month LIBOR Rate will be determined through the use of straight-line interpolation by reference to two rates, the first rate to be determined by reference to the period of time for which rates are available next shorter than the length of such Quarterly Interest Period and the second to be determined by reference to the period of time for which rates are available next longer than the length of such Quarterly Interest Period.

There is hereby authorized a series of Debt Securities under the Indenture designated the “8.375% Fixed/Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Notes due 2066,” limited in aggregate principal amount to $300,000,000, the amount of which shall be as set forth in any written order of the Company for the authentication and delivery of LoTSSM pursuant to Sections 2.04 and 2.05 of the Indenture. The LoTSSM shall be issued in denominations of $1,000 in principal amount and integral multiples thereof.
          Section 2.2 Maturity. The principal amount of the LoTSSM shall be payable on the maturity date of the LoTSSM, which is August 1, 2066.
          Section 2.3 Form. The LoTSSM and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication thereon shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A.
          The LoTSSM shall be issued only as Registered Securities. The LoTSSM shall be originally issued in the form of one or more Global Securities (the “Book-Entry LoTSSM”). Each of the Book-Entry LoTSSM shall represent such of the Outstanding LoTSSM as shall be specified therein and shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of Outstanding LoTSSM from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of Outstanding LoTSSM represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions.

The Company initially appoints DTC to act as Depositary with respect to the Book-Entry LoTSSM.

-8-


 

          Section 2.4 Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and paying agent with respect to the LoTSSM. The office or agency in the City and State of New York where the LoTSSM may be presented for registration of transfer or exchange and the Place of Payment for the LoTSSM shall initially be Wells Fargo Corporate Trust, c/o DTC 1st Floor, TADS Department, 55 Water Street, New York, New York 10041.
          Section 2.5 Transfer and Exchange. The transfer and exchange of Book-Entry LoTSSM or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with Section 2.15 of the Indenture and the rules and procedures of the Depositary therefor.
          Section 2.6 Interest Rates; Payment of Principal and Interest.
          (a) Rates.
     (i) Interest during the Fixed Rate Period. During the Fixed Rate Period, (A) the outstanding principal amount of the LoTSSM and (B) to the extent permitted by applicable law, any Deferred Interest or overdue interest thereon will bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Fixed Rate until the commencement of the Floating Rate Period or, if earlier, until the principal thereof and all Interest thereon is paid, compounded semi-annually and payable (subject to the provisions of Article IV) semi-annually, in arrears on each Semi-Annual Interest Payment Date.
     (ii) Interest during the Floating Rate Period. During the Floating Rate Period, (A) the outstanding principal amount of the LoTSSM and (B) to the extent permitted by applicable law, any Deferred Interest or overdue interest thereon will bear interest during each Quarterly Interest Period at a per annum rate equal to the applicable Floating Rate for such period, until the principal thereof and all Interest thereon is paid, compounded quarterly and payable (subject to the provisions of Article IV) quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Interest Payment Date. The Calculation Agent will calculate the Floating Rate with respect to each Floating Rate Period and the amount of Interest payable on each Quarterly Interest Payment Date as promptly as practicable according to the appropriate method described herein. Promptly upon such determination, the Calculation Agent will notify the Company and the Trustee of the Floating Rate for the Floating Rate Period and the amount of Interest payable to each Holder on each Quarterly Interest Payment Date. The Floating Rate determined by the Calculation Agent, absent manifest error, will be binding and conclusive upon the beneficial owners and Holders of the LoTSSM, the Company and the Trustee.
          (b) Payment of Interest to Record Holders of the Book-Entry LoTSSM. Payments of principal of, premium, if any, and Interest due on the LoTSSM representing Book-Entry LoTSSM on any Interest Payment Date, upon redemption or at maturity will be made available to the Trustee by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the applicable maturity date, Redemption Date, or Interest Payment Date, unless such date falls on a day which is not a Business Day, in which case such payments will be made available to the Trustee by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that, during the Floating Rate Period, if such next succeeding Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar year, then such payments will be made available to the Trustee by 11:00 a.m., New York City

time, on the immediately preceding Business Day. As soon as possible thereafter, the Trustee will make such payments to the Depositary. Other than in connection with the maturity or early redemption of the LoTSSM or in connection with payment of Defaulted Interest, Interest on the LoTSSM may be paid only on an Interest Payment Date. The regular record date for Interest payable on the LoTSSM on any Interest Payment Date during the Fixed Rate Period shall be the January 15 or July 15, as the case may be, immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date and during the Floating Rate Period shall be the January 15, April 15, July 15 or October 15, as the case may be, immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date.
          (c) The amount of Interest payable on any Interest Payment Date during the Fixed Rate Period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The amount of Interest payable on any Interest Payment Date during the Floating Rate Period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. During the Floating Rate Period, the amount of Interest payable to any Holder of the LoTSSM on any Interest Payment Date will be computed by multiplying (i) the applicable Floating Rate in effect for the Quarterly Interest Period or portion thereof in respect of which the Interest payment is made by (ii) a fraction, (A) the numerator of which will be the actual number of days in such Quarterly Interest Period (or portion thereof) (determined by including the first day thereof and excluding the last day thereof) and (B) the denominator of which will be 360, and (iii) multiplying the product obtained thereby by the sum of (A) Outstanding principal amount of the LoTSSM held by such Holder and (B) the amount of any Deferred Interest then existing in respect of such LoTSSM held by such Holder on the first day of the related Interest Period.
          (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, Interest not paid when due hereunder, including, without limitation, all Deferred Interest and overdue Interest, shall in accordance with Section 2.6(a), until paid, compound (i) semi-annually at the Fixed Rate on each Semi-Annual Interest Payment Date during the Fixed Rate Period and (ii) quarterly at the applicable Floating Rate on each Quarterly Interest Payment Date during the Floating Rate Period.
          (e) If the Company shall make a partial payment of Interest on any Interest Payment Date, such payment shall, with respect to the LoTSSM, be applied, first, to Deferred Interest until all such Deferred Interest has been paid and, second, to any Current Interest.
          (f) To the extent that the provisions of this Section 2.6 are inconsistent with the provisions of Article II of the Indenture, the provisions of this Section 2.6 shall control.
ARTICLE III
REDEMPTION OF THE LoTSSM
          Section 3.1 Optional Redemption. Subject to the provisions of Article III of the Indenture, the Company shall have the option to redeem the LoTSSM for cash:
          (a) in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time prior to August 1, 2016, at the Make-Whole Optional Redemption Price; and

-10-


 

          (b) in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time on or after August 1, 2016, at the Optional Redemption Price.
          Section 3.2 Certain Redemption Procedures. LoTSSM called for optional redemption shall become due on the Redemption Date. Notices of optional redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of the LoTSSM to be redeemed at its registered address. The notice of optional redemption for the LoTSSM will state, among other things, the amount of LoTSSM to be redeemed, the Redemption Date, the method of calculating such Redemption Price, and the place(s) that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of LoTSSM to be redeemed. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, interest will cease to accrue on the Redemption Date with respect to any LoTSSM that have been called for optional redemption. If less than all the LoTSSM are redeemed at any time, the Trustee will select the LoTSSM to be redeemed on a pro rata basis or by any other method the Trustee deems fair and appropriate.
          The LoTSSM may be redeemed in part only in principal amounts that are integral multiples of $1,000.
          Section 3.3 No Sinking Fund. The LoTSSM will not be entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.
ARTICLE IV
DEFERRAL OF INTEREST
          Section 4.1 Optional Deferral of Interest.
          (a) The Company shall have the right, at any time and from time to time during the term of the LoTSSM, to elect to defer payment of all or any portion of any Current Interest and/or Deferred Interest otherwise due on the LoTSSM on any Interest Payment Date (“Optional Deferral”); provided, however, that the Company may not (i) elect to defer payment of Interest if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of the date of the Company’s notice of its election to the Trustee, (ii) elect to defer payment of any Interest otherwise due on any Interest Payment Date if the Company has deferred payment of some or all of the Interest due on a number of consecutive Interest Payment Dates with respect to a number of consecutive Interest Periods which, taken together as a single period, would exceed ten (10) consecutive years, or (iii) elect to defer payment of any Interest due on the maturity date of the LoTSSM, or, with respect to any LoTSSM being redeemed, on the Redemption Date for such LoTSSM. No Interest on the LoTSSM shall be due and payable on any Interest Payment Date during an Optional Deferral Period; however, Interest shall accrue on the LoTSSM during such period in accordance with Sections 2.6(a) and 2.6(d).
          (b) Following the termination of an Optional Deferral Period pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of Optional Deferral Period, the Company may again elect pursuant to Section 4.1(a) to make an Optional Deferral of Interest.

-11-


 

          (c) On the Interest Payment Date on which the Company desires to terminate an Optional Deferral Period, the Company shall pay all Deferred Interest and Current Interest due on such Interest Payment Date. Such Interest shall be payable to the Holders of the LoTSSM in whose names the LoTSSM are registered in the Debt Security Register for the LoTSSM on the record date with respect to such Interest Payment Date.
          Section 4.2 Notice of Deferrals.
          (a) The Company shall give written notice to the Trustee of any election of an Optional Deferral pursuant to Section 4.1 not fewer than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) Business Days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date for which Interest on the LoTSSM will be deferred, other than an Optional Deferral in the circumstances described in Section 4.2(b). The Trustee shall forward such written notice promptly to each Holder of the LoTSSM.
          (b) In the case of an election of an Optional Deferral pursuant to Section 4.1 when the Company or the Parent Guarantor would be prohibited pursuant to Section 12.03 of the Indenture from paying Interest on the LoTSSM, the Company shall give written notice to the Trustee of such election of an Optional Deferral not later than the time monies in respect of the Interest payment on the applicable Interest Payment Date must be made available to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.6(b) hereof. The Trustee shall forward such written notice promptly to each Holder of the LoTSSM.
ARTICLE V
CERTAIN COVENANTS
          Section 5.1 Covenants in Indenture. Holders of the LoTSSM shall not have the benefit of and shall not be entitled to enforce the covenants contained in Sections 4.12 and 4.13 of the Indenture.
          Section 5.2 Restricted Payments.
          (a) Unless each of the following conditions has been satisfied:

     (2) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and
     (3) the Parent Guarantor is not in default of its obligations under the Guarantee;

-12-


 

junior to the LoTSSM or (B) make any guarantee payments with respect to the securities described in clause (ii)(A) of this subsection (a).
          (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.2(a), the Company, the Parent Guarantor and any of their respective Subsidiaries may take any of the following actions at any time, including during an Optional Deferral Period: (i) make any distribution, redemption, liquidation, interest, principal, or guarantee payment in the form of their respective equity securities; (ii) make any regularly scheduled distribution payments declared prior to the occurrence of the relevant event described in paragraphs (1) through (3) of Section 5.2(a) or the commencement of such Optional Deferral Period; (iii) make any repurchases, redemptions, or other acquisitions of their respective equity securities in connection with any employee benefit plans or any other contractual obligation entered into prior to the occurrence of the relevant event described in paragraphs (1) through (3) of Section 5.2(a) or the commencement of such Optional Deferral Period; (iv) make payments under (1) the LoTSSM and securities similar to the LoTSSM that are pari passu with the LoTSSM and (2) the Guarantee and similar guarantees associated with any instruments that are pari passu with the LoTSSM, in each case, so long as any such payments are made on a pro rata basis with the LoTSSM and the Guarantee, respectively; (v) make payments or distributions in connection with a reclassification of their respective equity securities, provided, however, that such reclassification does not result in the issuance of securities senior to the LoTSSM; and (vi) purchase fractional interests of their respective equity securities in connection with any split, reclassification, or similar transaction.
          (c) For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall prevent the Company or the Parent Guarantor from issuing any other securities, whether senior to, pari passu with or subordinated to the LoTSSM, including securities having covenants and provisions the same as or similar to those applicable to the LoTSSM.

          (b) until the Senior Indebtedness of the Company is paid in full, any such distribution to which Holders of Subordinated Debt Securities would be entitled but for this Article XII shall be made to holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company as their interests may appear, except that such Holders may receive securities representing partnership interests of the Company and any debt securities of the Company that are subordinated to Senior Indebtedness of the Company to at least the same extent as the Subordinated Debt Securities of the Company.

          Section 6.3 Amendment and Restatement of Section 12.03 of the Base Indenture. For purposes of the LoTSSM only, and not for purposes of any other Debt Securities, Section 12.03 of the Base Indenture is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
          Section 12.03 Default on Senior Indebtedness. The Company may not pay the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Subordinated Debt Securities or make any deposit pursuant to Article XI and may not repurchase, redeem or otherwise retire (except, in the case of Subordinated Debt Securities that provide for a mandatory sinking fund pursuant to Section 3.05, by the delivery of Subordinated Debt Securities by the Company to the Trustee pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 3.06) any Subordinated Debt Securities (collectively, “pay the Subordinated Debt Securities”) if (a) any principal, premium or interest in respect of Senior Indebtedness of the Company is not paid when due, including any applicable grace period (including at maturity) or (b) any other default on Senior Indebtedness of the Company occurs and the maturity of such Senior Indebtedness is accelerated in accordance with its terms unless, in either case, the default has been cured or waived and any such acceleration has been rescinded or such Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full in cash; provided, however, that the Company may pay the Subordinated Debt Securities without regard to the foregoing if the Company and the Trustee receive written notice approving such payment from the Representative of each issue of Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Company. During the continuance of any default (other than a default described in clause (a) or (b) of the preceding sentence) with respect to any Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Company pursuant to which the maturity thereof may be accelerated immediately without further notice (except such notice as may be required to effect such acceleration) or the expiration of any applicable grace periods, the Company may not pay the Subordinated Debt Securities for a period (a “Payment Blockage Period”) commencing upon the receipt by the Company and the Trustee of written notice of such default from the Representative of any Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Company specifying an election to effect a Payment Blockage Period (a “Blockage Notice”) and ending 179 days thereafter (or earlier if such Payment Blockage Period is terminated by written notice to the Trustee and the Company from the Person or Persons who gave such Blockage Notice, by repayment in full in cash of such Designated Senior Indebtedness or because the default giving rise to such Blockage Notice is no longer continuing). Notwithstanding the provisions described in the immediately preceding sentence (but subject to the provisions contained in the first sentence of this Section 12.03), unless the holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness or the Representative of such holders shall have accelerated the maturity of such Designated Senior Indebtedness, the Company may resume payments on the Subordinated Debt Securities after such Payment Blockage Period. Not more than one Blockage Notice may be given in any consecutive 360-day period, irrespective of the number of defaults with respect to any number of issues of Designated Senior Indebtedness during such period, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.03 for the Subordinated Debt Securities of a series; provided, however, that in no event may the total number of

-15-


 

days during which any Payment Blockage Period or Periods is in effect exceed 179 days in the aggregate during any 360 consecutive day period. For purposes of this Section 12.03, no default or event of default which existed or was continuing on the date of the commencement of any Payment Blockage Period with respect to the Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Company initiating such Payment Blockage Period shall be, or be made, the basis of the commencement of a subsequent Payment Blockage Period by the Representative of such Designated Senior Indebtedness, whether or not within a period of 360 consecutive days, unless such default or event of default shall have been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days.
          No Guarantor may make a payment or distribution in respect of its guarantee of any Subordinated Debt Securities (“make a guarantee payment on Subordinated Debt Securities”) if (a) any principal, premium or interest in respect of Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor is not paid when due, including any applicable grace period (including at maturity) or (b) any other default on Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor occurs and the maturity of such Senior Indebtedness is accelerated in accordance with its terms unless, in either case, the default has been cured or waived and any such acceleration has been rescinded or such Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full in cash; provided, however, that such Guarantor may make a guarantee payment on the Subordinated Debt Securities without regard to the foregoing if such Guarantor and the Trustee receive written notice approving such payment from the Representative of each issue of Designated Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor. During the continuance of any default (other than a default described in clause (a) or (b) of the preceding sentence) with respect to any Designated Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor pursuant to which the maturity thereof may be accelerated immediately without further notice (except such notice as may be required to effect such acceleration) or the expiration of any applicable grace periods, such Guarantor may not make a guarantee payment on Subordinated Debt Securities for a period (a “Payment Blockage Period”) commencing upon the receipt by such Guarantor and the Trustee of written notice of such default from the Representative of any Designated Senior Indebtedness specifying an election to effect a Payment Blockage Period (a “Blockage Notice”) and ending 179 days thereafter (or earlier if such Payment Blockage Period is terminated by written notice to the Trustee and such Guarantor from the Person or Persons who gave such Blockage Notice, by repayment in full in cash of such Designated Senior Indebtedness or because the default giving rise to such Blockage Notice is no longer continuing). Notwithstanding the provisions described in the immediately preceding sentence (but subject to the provisions contained in the first sentence of this paragraph of this Section 12.03), unless the holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness or the Representative of such holders shall have accelerated the maturity of such Designated Senior Indebtedness, such Guarantor may resume payments under its guarantee of any Subordinated Debt Securities after such Payment Blockage Period. Not more than one Blockage Notice may be given in any consecutive 360-day period, irrespective of the number of defaults with respect to any number of issues of Designated Senior Indebtedness during such

-16-


 

period, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.03 for the Subordinated Debt Securities of a series; provided, however, that in no event may the total number of days during which any Payment Blockage Period or Periods is in effect exceed 179 days in the aggregate during any 360 consecutive day period. For purposes of this Section 12.03, no default or event of default which existed or was continuing on the date of the commencement of any Payment Blockage Period with respect to the Designated Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor initiating such Payment Blockage Period shall be, or be made, the basis of the commencement of a subsequent Payment Blockage Period by the Representative of such Designated Senior Indebtedness, whether or not within a period of 360 consecutive days, unless such default or event of default shall have been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days.
ARTICLE VII

Initially, there shall be no Subsidiary Guarantors.
          Section 7.2 Subordination of Guarantee. The obligations of the Parent Guarantor under the Guarantee shall be subordinated to all Senior Indebtedness (as defined in this Eighth Supplemental Indenture) of the Parent Guarantor on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Article XII of the Indenture, and each Holder of the LoTSSM issued hereunder by such Holder’s acceptance thereof, acknowledges and agrees that the Guarantee shall be issued subject to the provisions of this Section 7.2 and such Article XII and that each Holder of LoTSSM, whether upon original issuance or upon transfer or assignment thereof, accepts and agrees to be bound by such provisions. The Guarantee of the Parent Guarantor is a Guarantee of Subordinated Debt Securities, and, for purposes of the LoTSSM only, and not for purposes of any other Debt Securities, all references in the Indenture to Senior Indebtedness of the Parent Guarantor shall mean Senior Indebtedness, as defined in this Eighth Supplemental Indenture, of the Parent Guarantor.
ARTICLE VIII
APPLICABILITY OF DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

ARTICLE IX
EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES OF THE TRUSTEE AND HOLDERS OF LoTSSM
          Section 9.1 Amendment and Restatement of Section 6.01 of the Base Indenture. For purposes of the LoTSSM only, and not for purposes of any other Debt Securities, Section 6.01 of the Base Indenture is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
          Section 6.01 Events of Default. If any one or more of the following shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the LoTSSM (each of the following an “Event of Default”):
          (a) failure to pay principal on the LoTSSM when due;
          (b) failure to pay Interest on the LoTSSM when due and such default continues for thirty (30) days (it being understood that the deferral of Interest as permitted by Article IV is not a default in payment of Interest on the LoTSSM);
          (c) failure to pay Interest on the LoTSSM in full on the first Interest Payment Date that is more than a period of ten (10) consecutive years after the beginning of an Optional Deferral Period that has continued throughout such ten (10) consecutive year period and is continuing;
          (d) the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event with respect to the Company or the Parent Guarantor; or
          (e) the Guarantee ceases to be in full force and effect or is declared null and void in a judicial proceeding;
then, and in each and every case that an Event of Default described in clause (a), (b), (c), and (e) with respect to the LoTSSM at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, unless the principal of, premium, if any, and Interest on all the LoTSSM shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the LoTSSM then Outstanding hereunder, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare the principal of, premium, if any, and Interest on all the LoTSSM to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, anything in the LoTSSM, the Indenture or in this Eighth Supplemental Indenture contained to the contrary notwithstanding. If an Event of Default described in clause (d) occurs, then and in each and every such case, unless the principal of, premium, if any, and Interest on all the LoTSSM shall have become due and payable, the principal of, premium, if any, and Interest on all the LoTSSM then Outstanding hereunder shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act

-18-

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the LoTSSM then Outstanding by written notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration and annul its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction already rendered and if all existing Events of Default with respect to the LoTSSM have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or Interest that has become due solely because of acceleration. Upon any such rescission, the parties hereto shall be restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies, and powers of the parties hereto shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken.
ARTICLE X

          Section 10.4 Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals. The recitals herein contained are made by the Company and not by the Trustee, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness thereof. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this Eighth Supplemental Indenture.
          Section 10.5 Governing Law. This Eighth Supplemental Indenture and the LoTSSM shall be deemed to be a contract made under the internal laws of the State of New York, and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the laws of said State.
          Section 10.6 Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence in performance of the obligations under this Eighth Supplemental Indenture.
          Section 10.7 Separability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Eighth Supplemental Indenture or in the LoTSSM shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Eighth Supplemental Indenture or of the LoTSSM, but this Eighth Supplemental Indenture and the LoTSSM shall be construed as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein or therein.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture or this Eighth Supplemental Indenture to the contrary, each Holder and beneficial owner of the LoTSSM hereby authorizes the Company, if required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or by any other applicable legal requirement, to withhold any required amount from the amounts payable by the Company hereunder to any Holder and/or beneficial owner of the LoTSSM for payment to the appropriate taxing authority. Any amount so withheld from such Person will be treated as a payment by the Company to such Person, except as otherwise provided below. Each such Person agrees to file timely any agreement that is required by any taxing authority in order to avoid any withholding obligation that would otherwise be imposed on the Company. If the amount required to be withheld with respect to such Person exceeds the amount payable to such Person, such excess will be treated as a demand loan to such Person, payable within ten (10) days after such time that the Company makes payment to the appropriate taxing authority and demand is made on such Person to pay same.

The Debt Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest (if any) at different rates, may be subject to different sinking, purchase or analogous funds (if any) and may otherwise vary as provided in the Indenture. The LoTSSM are of a series designated as the 8.375% Fixed/Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Notes due 2066 of the Company, in initial aggregate principal amount of $300,000,000 (the “LoTSSM”).
1. Interest.
     During the Fixed Rate Period, the outstanding principal amount hereof and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) any Deferred Interest or overdue installment of Interest hereon will bear interest at the per annum rate of 8.375% payable (subject to the provisions of the Indenture relating to Interest deferrals more fully described below) semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year commencing on February 1, 2007, compounded semi-annually through the end of the Fixed Rate Period. During the Floating Rate Period, the outstanding principal amount hereof and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) any Deferred Interest or overdue installment of Interest hereon will bear interest during each Quarterly Interest Period at the applicable Floating Rate for such Quarterly Interest Period calculated pursuant to the Indenture, payable (subject to the provisions of the Indenture relating to Interest deferrals more fully described below) quarterly in arrears on each February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1, commencing November 1, 2016, compounded quarterly at such prevailing Floating Rate through the end of the Floating Rate Period.
     During the Fixed Rate Period, the amount of Interest payable on any Interest Payment Date will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. During the Floating Rate Period, the amount of any Interest payable on any Interest Payment Date will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. In the event that any date on which Interest is payable on this LoTSSM is not a Business Day, then a payment of the Interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay), with the same force and effect as if made on the date the payment was originally payable.

          The LoTSSM are to be issued in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may register the transfer of, or exchange, LoTSSM in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture.
7. Person Deemed Owners.
          The registered Holder of LoTSSM may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.
8. Amendment; Supplement; Waiver.
          Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture may be amended or supplemented, and any existing Event of Default or compliance with any provision may be waived, with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding LoTSSM. Without consent of any Holder of LoTSSM, the parties thereto may amend or supplement the Indenture to, among other things, cure any ambiguity or omission, to correct any defect or inconsistency, or to make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of LoTSSM. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of these LoTSSM (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of these LoTSSM and any LoTSSM which may be issued in exchange or substitution herefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation thereof is made upon these LoTSSM or such other LoTSSM.
9. Defaults and Remedies.
          Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are Events of Default that will result in the principal amount of the LoTSSM, together with premium, if any, and Interest thereon, becoming due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of such Events of Default. If any other Event of Default with respect to the LoTSSM occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the LoTSSM then Outstanding may declare the principal amount of all the LoTSSM, together with premium, if any, and Interest thereon, to be due and payable immediately in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, however, if at any time after such a declaration of acceleration has been made, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding LoTSSM, by written notice to the Trustee, may rescind such declaration and annul its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court already rendered and if all Events of Default with respect to the LoTSSM, other than the nonpayment of the principal, premium, if any, or Interest which has become due solely by such declaration acceleration, shall have been cured or shall have been waived. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or shall impair any right consequent thereon. Holders of LoTSSM may not enforce the Indenture or the LoTSSM except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity or security satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the

11. Authentication.
          These LoTSSM shall not be valid until the Trustee signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of these LoTSSM.
