Subject to the second preceding sentence, the Administrative Trustees may dismiss the Securities Registrar and appoint a commercial bank or trust company to act as successor Securities Registrar. Any Person acting as Securities Registrar shall be permitted to resign as Securities Registrar upon 30 days’ written notice to the Administrative Trustees and the Property Trustee.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Apex Certificate at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 5.8, the Administrative Trustees or any one of them shall execute on behalf of the Issuer Trust and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Apex Certificates in authorized denominations of a like aggregate Liquidation Amount dated the date of execution by such Administrative Trustee or Trustees. At the option of a Holder, Apex Certificates may be exchanged for other Apex Certificates in authorized denominations of the same class and of a like aggregate Liquidation Amount upon surrender of the Apex Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 5.8. Neither the Issuer Trust nor the Securities Registrar shall be required, pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.4, (a) to register the transfer of or exchange any Apex during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of selection for redemption of Apex and ending at the close of business on the day of mailing of notice of redemption or (b) to transfer or exchange any Apex so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any Apex to be redeemed in part, any portion thereof not to be redeemed.

Every Apex 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

-21-

TRUST AGREEMENT

Trustee and the Securities Registrar duly executed by the Holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Apex Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently disposed of by an Administrative Trustee or the Securities Registrar in accordance with such Person’s customary practice.

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

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 protected purchaser, the Administrative Trustees, or any one of them, on behalf of the Issuer 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 5.5, 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 Issuer Trust corresponding to that evidenced by the lost, stolen or destroyed Trust Securities Certificate, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Trust Securities Certificate shall be found at any time.

Section 5.6 Persons Deemed Holders.

The Issuer Trustees, the Paying Agent 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, except as set forth in the definition of Holder herein, for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Issuer Trustees, the Paying Agent and the Securities Registrar shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.

Section 5.7 List of Holders’ Names and Addresses.

Each of the Sponsor and any one of the Administrative Trustees will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Property Trustee:

(i) monthly, quarterly or semi-annually, as the case may be, not more than 15 days after each regular record date in each year, a list, in such form as the Property Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Holders of Trust Securities as of such regular record date, and

(ii) at such other times as the Property Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after the receipt by the Sponsor and the Administrative Trustees of any such request, a list of similar form and content as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such list is furnished,

-22-

TRUST AGREEMENT

excluding from any such list names and addresses received by the Property Trustee at any time that is acting as Securities Registrar.

The Property Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, the names and addresses of Holders contained in the most recent list furnished to the Property Trustee as provided in this Section 5.7 and the names and addresses of Holders received by the Property Trustee at any time that is acting as Securities Registrar. The Property Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in this Section 5.7 upon receipt of a new list so furnished.

The rights of Holders to communicate with other Holders with respect to their rights under this Trust Agreement or under the Trust Securities, and the corresponding rights and privileges of the Property Trustee, shall be as provided in the Trust Indenture Act.

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 Agency.

The Administrative Trustees shall designate an office or offices or agency or agencies where Apex Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and for payment, and where notices and demands to or upon the Trustees in respect of this Trust Agreement and the Trust Securities Certificates may be served. The Administrative Trustees initially designate the Security Registrar’s Corporate Trust Office, as their office and agency for such purposes of surrendering for registration of transfer or exchange and for payment and designate Security Registrar’s Corporate Trust Office, as their office and agency for the purposes of serving such demands and notices. An Administrative Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Sponsor, the Property Trustee and to the Holders of any change in the location of the Securities Register or any such office or agency.

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 in their sole discretion. The Paying Agent shall initially be The Bank of New York Mellon. Any Person acting as Paying Agent shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent upon 30 days’ written notice to the Administrative Trustees and the Property Trustee. If The Bank of New York Mellon shall no longer be the Paying Agent or a successor Paying Agent shall resign or its authority to act be revoked, the Administrative Trustees shall appoint a successor (which shall be a bank or trust company) that is reasonably acceptable to the Property Trustee and the Sponsor to act as Paying Agent. Such successor Paying Agent or any additional Paying Agent shall execute and deliver to the Issuer Trustees an instrument in which such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent shall agree with the Issuer Trustees that as Paying Agent, such successor Paying Agent or

-23-

TRUST AGREEMENT

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 (other than (c), (d), (e)(i), (e)(iii) and (e)(vii) thereof), 8.3 (other than (g) and (j) thereof) and 8.6 shall apply also to the Paying Agent for so long as it shall act as Paying Agent and, to the extent applicable, to any other paying agent appointed hereunder, in the same manner that by their terms they apply to the Property Trustee, mutatis mutandis. 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 Common Securities by Sponsor; Common Securities Certificate.

(a) At the Effective Time and pursuant to the Agreement of Merger, the Sponsor shall acquire beneficial and record ownership of the Common Securities. To the fullest extent permitted by law, other than a transfer 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 Section 8.1 of the Base Indenture, any attempted transfer of the Common Securities other than to a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Sponsor shall be void. The Administrative Trustees shall cause each Common Securities Certificate issued to the Sponsor to contain a legend consistent with this Section 5.10.

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

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

(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; and

-24-

TRUST AGREEMENT

(iv) the rights of the Owners of the Book-Entry Apex 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. Unless and until Definitive Apex 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 Apex to such Clearing Agency Participants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) the Holder of a Book-Entry Apex Certificate may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including the Clearing Agency Participants and other Persons that are Owners, to take any action that a Holder of Apex is entitled to take under this Trust Agreement or the Apex, and (y) nothing herein shall prevent the Securities Registrar or the Issuer Trustees from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Clearing Agency or shall impair, as between the Clearing Agency and the Clearing Agency Participants, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of an Owner of any Apex.

(b) Any Book-Entry Apex Certificate shall represent such number of the Outstanding Apex as shall be specified therein and may provide that it shall represent the aggregate number of Outstanding Apex from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate number of Outstanding Apex represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect transfers, redemptions or exchanges (including exchanges pursuant to Section 4.7).

(c) Any Book-Entry Apex Certificate may be deposited with the Clearing Agency or its nominee, or may remain in the custody of the Certificate Custodian.

(d) Notwithstanding Section 5.4, transfers of a Book-Entry Apex Certificate shall be limited to transfers in whole, but not in part, to the Clearing Agency, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of Owners in a Book-Entry Apex Certificate may be transferred in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Clearing Agency. Definitive Apex Certificates shall be transferred to Owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Book-Entry Apex Certificate if, and only if, either (1) the Clearing Agency notifies the Sponsor and the Securities Registrar that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Clearing Agency for the Book-Entry Apex or if at any time the Clearing Agency ceases to be a Clearing Agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Clearing Agency is not appointed by the Sponsor within 90 days of such notice, (2) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Securities Registrar has received a request from the Clearing Agency to issue Definitive Apex Certificates in lieu of all or a portion of the Book-Entry Apex (in which case an Administrative Trustee shall execute and deliver Definitive Apex Certificates within 30 days of such request), or (3) the Sponsor determines not to have the Apex represented by the Book-Entry Apex Certificates.

(e) In connection with any transfer of a portion of the beneficial interests in a Book-Entry Apex Certificate to Owners pursuant to this Section 5.11, the Securities Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the number of Book-Entry Apex in an amount equal to the number of such Apex to be transferred, and an Administrative Trustee shall execute and deliver one or more Definitive Apex Certificates representing the appropriate number of Apex.

(f) In connection with the transfer of all the beneficial interests in a Book-Entry Apex Certificate to Owners pursuant to this Section 5.11, the Book-Entry Apex Certificates shall

-25-

TRUST AGREEMENT

be deemed to be surrendered to the Securities Registrar for cancellation, and an Administrative Trustee shall execute and deliver to each Owner identified by the Clearing Agency in exchange for its beneficial interest in the Book-Entry Apex Certificate being canceled, a Definitive Apex Certificate representing an equal number of Apex.

(g) None of the Issuer Trustees, the Securities Registrar, the Paying Agent or the Sponsor will have any responsibility or liability for any acts or omissions of any Clearing Agency with respect to any Book-Entry Apex, or any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, Apex by the Clearing Agency, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records of the Clearing Agency relating to the Apex, or for any transactions between or among a Clearing Agency and a Clearing Agency Participant and/or an Owner of a beneficial interest in any Book-Entry Apex for transfers of beneficial interests in any Book-Entry Apex. None of the Issuer Trustees, the Securities Registrar, the Paying Agent or the Sponsor shall be liable for any delay by the Clearing Agency in identifying Owners, and each such Person may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, instructions from the Clearing Agency for all purposes (including with respect to the registration and delivery, in the respective amounts, of Definitive Apex Certificates to be issued).

Section 5.12 Notices to Clearing Agency.

To the extent that a notice or other communication to the Holders is required under this Trust Agreement, for so long as Apex are represented by Book-Entry Apex Certificates, the Administrative Trustees shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to the Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligations to the Owners.

Section 5.13 Definitive Apex Certificates.

The Apex Certificates issued at the Effective Time shall be issued as Book-Entry Apex Certificates in accordance with Section 2.4. Additionally, if (a) the Sponsor advises the Issuer Trustees in writing that the Clearing Agency (i) has notified the Sponsor that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Clearing Agency for such Apex Certificates and no successor Clearing Agency has been appointed within 90 days of this notice or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act at a time when the Clearing Agency is required to be so registered to act as a depositary and no successor Clearing Agency has been appointed within 90 days after the Sponsor has learned that the Clearing Agency has ceased to be so registered, (b) a Preferred Stock Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (c) the Sponsor at its option advises the Issuer Trustees in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency, or (d) Owners of Apex Certificates representing beneficial interests aggregating at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Apex, 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 Apex Certificates, then the Administrative Trustees shall notify the other Issuer Trustees and the Clearing Agency, and the Clearing Agency, in accordance with its customary rules and procedures, shall notify all Clearing Agency Participants for whom it holds Apex of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of the Definitive Apex Certificates to Owners of such Series, as applicable, requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Administrative Trustees of the typewritten Apex Certificate or Certificates representing the Book-Entry Apex Certificates by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Administrative Trustees, or any one of them, shall execute the Definitive Apex Certificates in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. Neither the Securities Registrar nor the Issuer Trustees shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive

-26-

TRUST AGREEMENT

Apex Certificates, the Issuer Trustees shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Apex Certificates as holders of Trust Securities. The Definitive Apex 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 Apex 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; Waivers of Past Defaults.

(a) The legal title to the Trust Property is vested exclusively in the Property Trustee (in its capacity as such) in accordance with Section 2.9, and the Holders shall not have any right or title therein other than the beneficial interest in the Issuer Trust conferred by their Trust Securities and they shall have no right to call for any partition or division of property, profits or rights of the Issuer Trust except as described below. The Trust Securities shall be personal property giving only the rights specifically set forth therein and in this Trust Agreement. The Apex shall have no preemptive or similar rights and when issued and delivered to Holders in accordance with Section 2.4 will be fully paid and nonassessable beneficial interests in the Issuer Trust. The Holders of the Trust Securities, in their capacities as such, shall be entitled to the same limitation of personal liability extended to shareholders of private corporations for profit organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.14(a), the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Apex may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Apex, waive any past default or Event of Default and its consequences. Upon such waiver, any such default or Event of Default shall cease to exist, and any default or Event of Default arising there from shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Trust Agreement, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust Agreement, the right of any Holder to receive payment of any Distributions on, or the Redemption Price of, any Apex or any Liquidation Distribution, on or after the respective due dates expressed herein, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

(d) The Sponsor, in its capacity as the guarantor under the Guarantee Agreement, agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Holder has the right to institute a proceeding directly against the Sponsor for enforcement of the rights of a holder of Preferred Stock to the extent of an interest in Preferred Stock corresponding to the aggregate liquidation amount of such Holder’s Apex, as specified in the Guarantee Agreement.

Section 5.15 CUSIP Numbers.

The Administrative Trustees may use “CUSIP” numbers with respect to the Apex (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 Apex or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Apex, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Administrative Trustees will promptly notify the Property Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

ARTICLE VI

Section 6.1 Limitations on Voting Rights.

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

(b) So long as any shares of Preferred Stock are held by the Property Trustee on behalf of the Issuer Trust, the Issuer Trustees shall not waive any Preferred Stock Default without obtaining the prior approval of the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Apex then Outstanding. Additionally, in addition to and notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer Trustees shall not consent to any amendment to the Certificate of Designation or the Sponsor’s certificate of incorporation that would change the dates on which dividends are payable on the Preferred Stock or the amount of such dividends, without the prior written consent of each Holder of Apex. In addition to obtaining the foregoing approvals of the Holders of Apex, prior to taking any of the foregoing actions, the Issuer Trustee 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 Issuer Trust to be classified as an association or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(c) No amendment to or modification of any Transaction Document that adversely affects the rights, duties or immunities of the Securities Registrar or the Paying Agent shall be effective as against any such affected party without its consent.

Section 6.2 Notice of Meetings.

Notice of all meetings of the Holders of the Apex, stating the time, place and purpose of the meeting, shall be given by the Property Trustee pursuant to Section 11.8 to each Holder of Apex entitled to attend such meeting, at such Holder’s 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 the Apex.

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

The Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Apex entitled to attend a meeting, present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of the Holders of the Apex.

-28-

TRUST AGREEMENT

If a quorum is present at a meeting, an affirmative vote by the Holders present, in person or by proxy, holding Apex representing at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Apex entitled to attend such meeting held by the Holders present, either in person or by proxy, at such meeting shall constitute the action of the Holders of the Apex invited to attend such meeting, 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 Outstanding Trust Securities in respect of any matter as to which such Holders are entitled to vote.

Section 6.5 All Votes Must Be Made by a United States Person.

Voting and consensual rights available to or in favor of Holders or Owners under this Trust Agreement may be exercised only by a United States Person that is a beneficial owner of a Trust Security or by a United States Person acting as irrevocable agent with discretionary powers for the beneficial owner of a Trust Security that is not a United States Person. Holders that are not United States Persons must irrevocably appoint a United States Person with discretionary powers to act as their agent with respect to such voting and consensual rights.

Section 6.6 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 Property Trustee, or with such other officer or agent of the Issuer Trust as the Property Trustee may direct, for verification prior to the time at which such vote shall be taken. Pursuant to a resolution of the Property Trustee, proxies may be solicited in the name of the Property Trustee or one or more officers of the Property Trustee. Only Holders of record shall be entitled to vote. When Trust Securities are held jointly by several Persons, any one of them may vote at any meeting in person or by proxy in respect of such Trust Securities, but if more than one of them shall be present at such meeting in person or by proxy, and such joint owners or their proxies so present disagree as to any vote to be cast, such vote shall not be received in respect of such Trust Securities. A proxy purporting to be executed by or on behalf of a Holder shall be deemed valid unless challenged at or prior to its exercise, and the burden of proving invalidity shall rest on the challenger. No proxy shall be valid more than three years after its date of execution.

Section 6.7 Holder Action by Written Consent.

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

Section 6.8 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

-29-

TRUST AGREEMENT

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. The Administrative Trustees shall cause a notice of any such date fixed in respect of any such distribution to be forwarded to each Paying Agent and the Property Trustee.

Section 6.9 Acts of Holders.

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

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

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

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

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

If any dispute shall arise between the Holders and the Issuer Trustees or among the Holders or the Issuer 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 Issuer Trustee under this Article VI, then the determination of such matter by the Property Trustee shall be conclusive with respect to such matter.

To the extent that, at law or in equity, an Issuer Trustee has duties and liabilities relating to the Issuer Trust or to the Holders, such Issuer Trustee shall not be liable to the Issuer Trust or to any Holder for such Issuer Trustee’s good faith reliance on the provisions of this Trust Agreement. Except as otherwise required by the Trust Indenture Act and the Commission’s rules thereunder applicable to indentures qualified under such Act, the provisions of this Trust Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of the Issuer 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 Issuer Trustees.

(b) All payments made by the Property Trustee or a Paying Agent in respect of the Trust Securities shall be made only from the revenue and proceeds from the Trust Property and only to the extent that there shall be sufficient revenue or proceeds from the Trust Property to enable the Property Trustee or a Paying Agent to make payments in accordance with the terms hereof. Each Holder, by its acceptance of a Trust Security, agrees that it will look solely to the revenue and proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent legally available for distribution to it as herein provided and that the Issuer Trustees are not personally liable to such Holder for any amount distributable in respect of any Trust Security or for any other liability in respect of any Trust Security. This Section 8.1(b) does not limit the liability of the Issuer Trustees expressly set forth elsewhere in this Trust Agreement or, in the case of the Property Trustee, in the Trust Indenture Act.

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

(d) The Property Trustee, before the occurrence of any Event of Default and after the curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, shall undertake to perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Trust Agreement (including pursuant to Section 11.10), and no implied covenants shall be read into this Trust Agreement against the Property Trustee. If an Event of Default has occurred, the Property Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Trust Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise thereof, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

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

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

(A) the duties and obligations of the Property Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Trust Agreement (including pursuant to Section 11.10), and the Property Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Trust Agreement (including pursuant to Section 11.10); and

TRUST AGREEMENT

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

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

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

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

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

(vi) the Property Trustee shall not be responsible for monitoring the compliance by the Administrative Trustees, the Sponsor, the Securities Registrar, the Paying Agent or any other Person, with their respective duties under this Trust Agreement or any Transaction Document, nor shall the Property Trustee be liable for the default or misconduct of any other Issuer Trustee, the Administrative Trustees, the Sponsor, the Securities Registrar, the Paying Agent or any other Person; and

(vii) subject to Section 8.1(c), no provision of this Trust Agreement shall require the Property Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if the Property Trustee shall have reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment of such funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it under the terms of this Trust Agreement or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(f) The Administrative Trustees shall not be responsible for monitoring the compliance by the other Issuer Trustees or the Sponsor with their respective duties under this Trust Agreement, nor shall either Administrative Trustee be liable for the default or misconduct of any other Issuer Trustee or the Sponsor.

-40-

TRUST AGREEMENT

Subject to the immediately preceding paragraph, the Relevant Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Holders and by appointing a successor Relevant Trustee. The Relevant Trustee shall appoint a successor by requesting from at least three Persons meeting the eligibility requirements its expenses and charges to serve as the Relevant Trustee on a form provided by the Administrative Trustees, and selecting the Person who agrees to the lowest expenses and charges. If the instrument of acceptance by the successor Issuer Trustee required by Section 8.11 shall not have been delivered to the Relevant Trustee within 60 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the Relevant Trustee may petition, at the expense of the Sponsor, in the case of the Property Trustee, 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 Holders of 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 Apex, delivered to the Relevant Trustee (in its individual capacity and, in the case of the Property Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer Trust) (i) for cause (including upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in subparagraph (c) of the definition thereof with respect to the Relevant Trustee), or (ii) at any time if a Preferred Stock Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Unless and until a Preferred Stock 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 Holders of the Common Securities.

If a resigning Property Trustee or Delaware Trustee shall fail to appoint a successor, or if the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall be removed or become incapable of acting as Issuer Trustee, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee for any cause, the Holders of the Common Securities by Act of such Holders delivered to the Relevant Trustee or, if a Preferred Stock Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Holders of the Apex, by Act of the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Apex then Outstanding delivered to such Relevant Trustee, may appoint a successor Relevant Trustee or Issuer Trustees, and such successor Issuer Trustee shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11. If no successor Relevant Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Holders of the Common Securities or Apex, as the case may be, and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 8.11, any Holder, on behalf of such Holder and all others similarly situated, or any other Issuer Trustee, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Relevant Trustee.

The Property Trustee shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of an Issuer Trustee and each appointment of a successor Issuer Trustee to all Holders in the manner provided in Section 11.8 and shall give notice to the Sponsor and to the Administrative Trustees. 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, if any Delaware Trustee who is a natural person dies or becomes, in the opinion of the Holders of the Common Securities, incompetent or incapacitated, the vacancy created by such death, incompetence or incapacity may be filled by the Property Trustee following the procedures regarding expenses and charges set forth above (with the successor being a Person who satisfies the eligibility requirement for the Delaware Trustee set forth in Section 8.7).

Upon request of any such successor Relevant Trustee, the Issuer 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 preceding paragraph.

ARTICLE IX

DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND MERGER

Section 9.1 Perpetual Existence.

The Issuer Trust shall have perpetual existence and shall be dissolved only in accordance with this Article IX.

Section 9.2 Early Dissolution.

The first to occur of any of the following events is an “Early Dissolution Event”:

(a) the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event in respect of, or the dissolution or liquidation of, the Sponsor, unless the Common Securities shall be transferred as provided by Section 5.10, in which case this provision shall refer instead to any such successor Holder of the Common Securities;

(b) the redemption of all of the Apex in accordance with the provisions of this Trust Agreement; and

If an Early Dissolution Event occurs, Section 9.4 shall apply.

Section 9.3 Dissolution.

The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Issuer Trustees, the Administrative Trustees and the Issuer Trust created and continued hereby shall terminate upon the latest to occur of the following: (a) the distribution by the Property Trustee to Holders of all amounts required to be distributed hereunder upon the liquidation of the Issuer Trust pursuant to Section 9.4, or upon the redemption of all of the Trust Securities pursuant to Section 4.2; (b) the payment of any expenses owed by the Issuer Trust; and (c) the discharge of all administrative duties of the Administrative Trustees, including the performance of any tax reporting obligations with respect to the Issuer Trust or the Holders.

TRUST AGREEMENT

Section 9.4 Liquidation.

(a) If an Early Dissolution Event specified in clause (a) of Section 9.2 occurs, the Issuer Trust shall be liquidated by the Property Trustee and the Administrative Trustees as expeditiously as the Property Trustee and the Administrative Trustees determine to be possible by distributing, after satisfying the requirement of Section 3808(e) of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, to each Holder of Apex a Like Amount of Preferred Stock as of the date of such distribution, subject to Section 9.4(d). Notice of liquidation shall be given by the Property Trustee or the Administrative Trustees by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Liquidation Date to each Holder of Apex at such Holder’s address appearing in the Securities Register. All such notices of liquidation shall:

(i) state the CUSIP Number of the Apex;

(ii) state the Liquidation Date;

(iii) state that from and after the Liquidation Date, the Apex will no longer be deemed to be Outstanding and any Trust Securities Certificates not surrendered for exchange will be deemed to represent a Like Amount of Preferred Stock as of the date of such distribution, or if Section 9.4(d) applies, a right to receive a Liquidation Distribution; and

(iv) provide such information with respect to the mechanics by which Holders may exchange Apex Certificates for a Like Amount of Preferred Stock, or if Section 9.4(d) applies, receive a Liquidation Distribution, as the Administrative Trustees shall deem appropriate.

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

(c) Except where Section 9.2(b) or 9.4(d) applies, after the Liquidation Date, (i) the Trust Securities will no longer be deemed to be Outstanding, (ii) certificates representing a Like Amount of Preferred Stock (or fractional interests in or depositary shares for Preferred Stock) will be issued to Holders of Trust Securities Certificates, upon surrender of such certificates to the exchange agent for exchange, (iii) any Trust Securities Certificates not so surrendered for exchange will be deemed to represent a Like Amount of Preferred Stock until such certificates are so surrendered (and until such certificates are so surrendered, no payments of dividends, redemption price or otherwise will be made to Holders of Trust Securities Certificates with respect to such Preferred Stock) and (iv) all rights of Holders holding Trust Securities will cease, except the right of such Holders to receive a Like Amount of Preferred Stock upon surrender of Trust Securities Certificates.

(d) If, notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 9.4, whether because of an order for dissolution entered by a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise, distribution of the Preferred Stock in the manner provided herein is determined by the Property Trustee and the Administrative Trustees not to be possible, or if an Early Dissolution Event specified in clause (b)

-46-

TRUST AGREEMENT

of Section 9.2 occurs, the Trust Property shall be liquidated, and the Issuer Trust’s affairs wound-up, by the Property Trustee and the Administrative Trustees in such manner as the Administrative Trustees determine. In such event, upon the winding-up of the Issuer Trust except with respect to an Early Dissolution Event specified in clause (b) of Section 9.2, Holders will be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Issuer Trust available for distribution to Holders, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Issuer Trust as provided by applicable law, an amount equal to the Liquidation Amount per Trust Security plus accumulated and unpaid Distributions thereon to the date of payment (such amount being the “Liquidation Distribution”). If, upon any such winding-up, the Liquidation Distribution can be paid only in part because the Issuer Trust has insufficient assets available to pay in full the aggregate Liquidation Distribution, then, subject to the next succeeding sentence, the amounts payable by the Issuer Trust on the Trust Securities shall be paid on a pro rata basis (based upon Liquidation Amounts), except that the right of Holders of the Common Securities to receive Liquidation Distributions will be subordinated to the right of Holders of Apex to receive Liquidation Distributions as provided in Section 4.3(c).

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

The Issuer 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 Section 9.4 or this Section 9.5 or as contemplated by the Merger (such Merger having been already fully authorized, approved and ratified in all respects and with no other action being needed to authorize such Merger). At the request of the Holders of the Common Securities, with the consent of the Administrative Trustees, but without the consent of the Holders of the Apex, the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, the Issuer 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 Issuer Trust with respect to the Apex, or (b) substitutes for the Apex other securities having substantially the same terms as the Apex (the “Successor Securities”) so long as the Successor Securities have the same priority as the Apex with respect to distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption and otherwise, (ii) the Successor Securities are listed, or any Successor Securities will be listed upon notification of issuance, on any national securities exchange or other organization on which the Apex are listed, (iii) a trustee of such successor entity possessing the same powers and duties as the Property Trustee is appointed to hold the Trust Property, (iv) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not cause the Apex (including any Successor Securities) to be downgraded by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, (v) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of the Apex (including any Successor Securities) in any material respect, (vi) such successor entity has a purpose substantially identical to that of the Issuer Trust, (vii) prior to such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, the Property Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (a) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the Holders of the Apex (including any Successor Securities) in any material respect, and (b) following such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, neither the Issuer Trust nor such successor entity will be required to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act, (viii) the Issuer Trust has received an Opinion of Counsel experienced in such matters that such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, conveyance, transfer or lease will not cause the Issuer Trust or the successor entity to be classified as an association or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a

-47-

TRUST AGREEMENT

corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and (ix) the Sponsor or its permitted transferee owns all of the Common Securities of such successor entity and the Sponsor guarantees the obligations of such successor entity under the Successor Securities at least to the extent provided by the Guarantee Agreement. The Issuer Trust may with the consent of Holders of all of the Apex, 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 even if such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease would otherwise not be permitted under (viii) of the preceding sentence.

TRUST AGREEMENT

applicable to consolidated supervised entities, (iii) to provide that Apex Certificates may be executed by an Administrative Trustee by facsimile signature instead of manual signature, in which case such amendment(s) shall also provide for the appointment by the Sponsor of an authentication agent, the fees and expenses of which will be paid by the Sponsor, a form of authentication certificate, and provisions to the effect that Apex Certificates that have been executed by an Administrative Trustee by facsimile signature shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Trust Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless the certificate of authentication thereon has been executed by the authentication agent by manual signature, or (iv) require that holders that are not U.S. persons for U.S. Federal income tax purposes irrevocably appoint a U.S. person to exercise any voting rights to ensure that the Issuer Trust will not be treated as a foreign trust for U.S. Federal income tax purposes; provided, however, that in the case of either clause (i) or (ii), such action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Holder, the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee.

In particular, no Issuer Trustee shall enter into or consent to any amendment to this Trust Agreement that would cause the Issuer Trust to be classified as an association or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
