ARTICLE IV

DISTRIBUTIONS; REDEMPTION, ETC.

Section 4.1 Distributions.

(a) The Trust Securities represent beneficial interests in the Issuer Trust, and Distributions will be made on the Trust Securities of a Series on applicable Distribution Dates in amounts that correspond to amounts of interest, dividends or Contract Payments, as applicable (less any withholding tax and including (i) in the case of the Normal PPS, Capital PPS and Common Securities, Additional Amounts and Deferred Note Interest Amounts, and (ii) in the case of the Normal PPS, Stripped PPS and Common Securities, Deferred Contract Payment Amounts) that are received by the Property Trustee or the Paying Agent on or in connection with each applicable Distribution Date on the Trust Property that is the Corresponding Assets for such Series, as provided in Sections 4.1(b), (c) and (d).

(b) In the case of the Normal PPS and the Common Securities, subject to Section 4.1(e):

(i) Distributions will be payable in cash on each Regular Distribution Date;

(ii) the Distributions payable on each Regular Distribution Date for the related Distribution Period will be at a rate per annum applied to the Liquidation Amount per Normal PPS and Common Security equal to the Normal PPS Distribution Rate for such Distribution Period (with the consequence that the amount of the Distribution for each $1,000 of Normal PPS or Common Securities payable on each Regular Distribution Date being equal to (x) the sum of the amount of interest payable on such Regular Distribution Date on $1,000 principal amount of Notes (without giving effect to any change in the interest rate on the Notes in connection with a Remarketing) plus 1/100^th of the Contract Payment payable on a Stock Purchase Contract having a stated amount of $100,000 for each Distribution Period ending on or before the Stock Purchase Date and (y) the amount of dividends payable on such Regular Distribution Date on 1/100^th of a share of Preferred Stock for each Distribution Period thereafter);

(iii) Distributions shall be cumulative for each Regular Distribution Date to and including the Stock Purchase Date and non-cumulative thereafter; and

(iv) the amount of Distributions payable for any Distribution Period ending on or prior to the Stock Purchase Date shall include the Additional Amounts received by the Issuer Trust, if any.

(i) Distributions will be payable in cash on each Capital PPS Distribution Date;

-24-

(ii) the Distributions payable on each Capital PPS Distribution Date for the related Distribution Period will be at a rate per annum applied to the Liquidation Amount per Capital PPS equal to the Capital PPS Distribution Rate for such Distribution Period, with the consequence that the amount of the Distribution for each $1,000 of Capital PPS payable on each Capital PPS Distribution Date is equal to the amount of interest payable on or accrued to (as applicable) such Distribution Date on $1,000 principal amount of Notes;

(iii) Distributions shall be cumulative; and

(iv) the amount of Distributions payable for any Distribution Period shall include the Additional Amounts received by the Issuer Trust, if any.

(i) Distributions will be payable in cash on each Regular Distribution Date;

(ii) the Distributions payable on each Regular Distribution Date for the related Distribution Period will be at a rate per annum applied to the Liquidation Amount per Stripped PPS equal to 1/100^th of the Contract Payment payable on a Stock Purchase Contract having a stated amount of $100,000 on such Stripped PPS Distribution Date (expressed as a percentage);

(iii) Distributions shall be cumulative; and

(iv) additionally, on each Additional Distribution Date on which Stripped PPS are Outstanding (or as promptly thereafter as the Collateral Agent and the Paying Agent determine to be practicable), the Property Trustee shall distribute or cause to be distributed through the Paying Agent an amount per $1,000 of Stripped PPS equal to the Excess Proceeds Distributions for such Additional Distribution Date.

(e) Distributions on the Trust Securities of a Series shall be made by the Paying Agent from the Payment Account and shall be payable on each Distribution Date only to the extent that the Issuer Trust has funds then on hand and available in the Payment Account from the Corresponding Assets of such Series for the payment of such Distributions. The Issuer Trust will have amounts to make full Distributions on the relevant Series of Trust Securities in accordance with Sections 4.1(b), (c) and (d) on an applicable Distribution Date only if the Depositor has not (i) defaulted in paying interest on the Notes or Contract Payments on the Stock Purchase Contracts or (ii) exercised its right to defer payment of interest on the Notes and Contract Payments on the Stock Purchase Contracts and, accordingly, there is no outstanding Deferred Note Interest Amount or Deferred Contract Payment Amount. Deferred Note Interest Amounts and Deferred Contract Payment Amounts will be paid to Holders of the relevant Series of Trust Securities on a pro rata basis on the applicable Distribution Dates on which such amounts are received by the Issuer Trust (or as soon thereafter as the Property Trustee determines to be practicable).

(f) In the event the Property Trustee or the Paying Agent receives any other cash or non-cash payments or distributions with respect to Corresponding Assets for any Series of Trust Preferred Securities (including promissory notes of the Depositor delivered pursuant to (i) Section 2.7(c) of the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement if there are any Deferred Contract Payment Amounts outstanding on the Stock Purchase Date or (ii) Section 2.5(c) of the Indenture Supplement if there are any Deferred Note Interest Amounts outstanding on the Stock Purchase Date), the Property Trustee shall distribute or cause to be distributed through the Paying Agent such cash amounts to the Holders of the related Series of Trust Preferred Securities on a pro rata basis promptly after receipt and may, in its discretion, distribute non-cash amounts on a pro rata basis (or on a basis that is as close as possible to a pro rata basis as it determines to be reasonably practicable).

-25-

(g) Distributions in cash on the Trust Securities of a Series with respect to an applicable Distribution Date shall be payable to the Holders thereof as they appear on the Securities Register for the Trust Securities at the close of business on the relevant record date for such Distribution Date, which shall be the 15^th day before the relevant Distribution Date. Distributions payable on any Trust Securities of a Series that are not punctually paid on an applicable Distribution Date will cease to be payable to the Person in whose name such Trust Securities are registered on the relevant record date, and such defaulted Distribution will instead be payable to the Person in whose name such Trust Securities are registered on the special record date or other specified date for determining Holders entitled to such defaulted Distributions.

Section 4.2 Redemption.

(a) On each Preferred Stock Redemption Date, the Issuer Trust will be required to redeem a Like Amount of Normal PPS and Common Securities at the Preferred Stock Redemption Price.

(b) On any Note Redemption Date prior to the Stock Purchase Date or, if earlier, the Remarketing Settlement Date, the Issuer Trust will be required to redeem (i) a Like Amount of Normal PPS and Common Securities at the Note Redemption Price plus accrued and unpaid Contract Payments through the date of redemption, (ii) a Like Amount of Capital PPS at the Note Redemption Price and (iii) a Like Amount of Stripped PPS in exchange for the Qualifying Treasury Securities that are Corresponding Assets of the Stripped PPS and a payment equal to accrued and unpaid Contract Payments through the date of redemption.

(c) On each Note Redemption Date following the Stock Purchase Date or, if earlier, the Remarketing Settlement Date, the Issuer Trust will be required to redeem a Like Amount of Capital PPS at the Note Redemption Price.

(d) If a Remarketing is Successful, then promptly after the Remarketing Settlement Date the Issuer Trust shall redeem the Capital PPS, in whole but not in part (including Capital PPS issued in connection with a Contingent Exchange Election), in kind by exchanging for each Capital PPS a Like Amount of Notes (or, if the Depositor shall have elected to remarket the Notes in the form of New Trust Preferred Securities, New Trust Preferred Securities). If a Failed Remarketing occurs but on the Stock Purchase Date there is no Deferred Note Interest Amount outstanding, then promptly after the Stock Purchase Date the Issuer Trust shall redeem the Capital PPS, in whole but not in part, in kind by exchanging for each Capital PPS a Like Amount of Notes. If a Failed Remarketing occurs and there is a Deferred Note Interest Amount outstanding on the Stock Purchase Date, or if the Stock Purchase Contracts terminate in accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement prior to a Stock Purchase Date occurring, then the Depositor may instruct the Issuer Trust at any time thereafter when no Deferred Note Interest Amount is outstanding to redeem the Capital PPS, in whole but not in part, in kind by exchanging for each Capital PPS a Like Amount of Notes. Any such redemption will be effected by Book-Entry Transfer of Notes in global form if the Notes then settle and clear through the Clearing Agency, and if the Notes do not then settle and clear through the Clearing Agency by delivery of definitive certificates evidencing the Notes to the Holders of Capital PPS.

-26-

(e) Notice of redemption shall be given by the Property Trustee by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 (or not less than 20 in the case of a redemption in kind pursuant to Section 4.2(d) after a Successful Remarketing) nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Trust Securities to be redeemed, at such Holder’s address appearing in the Securities Register. The Depositor shall provide a completed form of notice of redemption to the Property Trustee not later than five Business Days prior to the date of mailing of such notice of redemption. All notices of redemption shall state:

(i) the Redemption Date;

(ii) unless the redemption is a redemption of Capital PPS in kind pursuant to Section 4.2(d), the Redemption Price or if the Redemption Price cannot be calculated prior to the time the notice is required to be sent, the estimate of the Redemption Price together with a statement that it is an estimate and that the actual Redemption Price will be calculated by the Depositor or a calculation agent appointed by it on the third Business Day prior to the Redemption Date (and if an estimate is provided, a further notice shall be sent of the actual Redemption Price on the date that such Redemption Price is calculated);

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

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

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

(vi) if the Trust Preferred Securities Certificates are not Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificates on the Redemption Date, the place or places where the Trust Preferred Securities Certificates are to be surrendered for the payment of the Redemption Price.

(f) In the case of a redemption of Normal PPS and Common Securities pursuant to Section 4.2(a) or Capital PPS pursuant to Section 4.2(c), in each case for payment of a cash Redemption Price:

(i) The Trust Securities redeemed on each Redemption Date shall be redeemed at the Redemption Price with the proceeds from the contemporaneous redemption of a Like Amount of Preferred Stock or Notes, as applicable. Redemptions of the Trust Securities shall be made and the Redemption Price shall be payable on each Redemption Date only to the extent that the Issuer Trust has funds then on hand and available in the Payment Account from the Depositor’s redemption of Preferred Stock or Notes, as applicable, for the payment of such Redemption Price.

(ii) If the Property Trustee gives a notice of redemption in respect of any Trust Preferred Securities, then, by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Redemption Date, subject to Section 4.2(f)(i), the Property Trustee or Paying Agent will, with respect to Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities, irrevocably deposit with the Clearing Agency for such Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities, to the extent available therefor, funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price and will give such Clearing Agency irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Redemption Price to the Holders thereof. With respect to Trust Preferred Securities that are not Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities, the Property Trustee, subject to Section 4.2(f)(i), will irrevocably deposit with the Paying Agent, to the extent available therefor, funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price and will give the Paying Agent irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Redemption Price to the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities upon surrender of their Trust Preferred Securities Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

-27-

Distributions payable on or prior to the Redemption Date for any Trust Securities called for redemption shall be payable to the Holders of such Trust Securities as they appear on the Securities Register for the Trust Securities on the relevant record dates for the related Distribution Dates. If notice of redemption shall have been given and funds deposited as required, then upon the date of such deposit, all rights of Holders holding Trust Securities so called for redemption will cease, except the right of such Securityholders to receive the Redemption Price and any Distribution payable in respect of the Trust Securities on or prior to the Redemption Date, but without interest, and such Trust Securities will cease to be outstanding. In the event that payment of the Redemption Price in respect of any Trust Securities called for redemption is improperly withheld or refused and not paid either by the Issuer Trust or by the Depositor pursuant to the Guarantee Agreement, Distributions on such Trust Securities will continue to accumulate, as set forth in Section 4.1, from the Redemption Date originally established by the Issuer Trust for such Trust Securities to the date such Redemption Price is actually paid, in which case the actual payment date will be the date fixed for redemption for purposes of calculating the Redemption Price.

(iii) Subject to Section 4.3(a), if less than all the Outstanding Normal PPS and Common Securities are to be redeemed on a Redemption Date, then the aggregate Liquidation Amount of Normal PPS and Common Securities to be redeemed shall be allocated pro rata to the Common Securities and the Normal PPS being redeemed based upon the relative Liquidation Amounts of such series. The particular Normal PPS to be redeemed shall be selected on a pro rata basis based upon their respective Liquidation Amounts not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Property Trustee from the Outstanding Normal PPS not previously called for redemption by any method the Property Trustee deems fair and appropriate; provided, however, that so long as the Normal PPS are in book-entry form, such selection shall be made in accordance with the customary procedures for the Clearing Agency for the Normal PPS. The Property Trustee shall promptly notify the Securities Registrar in writing of the Normal PPS selected for redemption and, in the case of any Normal PPS selected for partial redemption, the Liquidation Amount thereof to be redeemed. For all purposes of this Trust Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Normal PPS shall relate, in the case of any Normal PPS redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of Normal PPS that has been or is to be redeemed.

(iv) If less than all the Outstanding Capital PPS are to be redeemed on a Redemption Date, then the particular Capital PPS to be redeemed shall be selected on a pro rata basis based upon their respective Liquidation Amounts not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Property Trustee from the Outstanding Capital PPS not previously called for redemption by any method the Property Trustee deems fair and appropriate; provided, however, that so long as the Capital PPS are in book-entry form, such selection shall be made in accordance with the customary procedures for the Clearing Agency for the Capital PPS. The Property Trustee shall promptly notify the Securities Registrar in writing of the Capital PPS selected for redemption and, in the case of any Capital PPS selected for partial redemption, the Liquidation Amount thereof to be redeemed. For all purposes of this Trust Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Capital PPS shall relate, in the case of any Capital PPS redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of Capital PPS that has been or is to be redeemed.

(v) Payment of the Redemption Price on the Trust Securities shall be made to the record holders thereof as they appear on the Securities Register for the Trust Securities on the relevant record date, which shall be one Business Day prior to the relevant Redemption Date; provided, however, that in the event that the Trust Preferred Securities do not remain in book-entry-only form, the relevant record date shall be the date fifteen days prior to the relevant Redemption Date.

-28-

For Federal income tax purposes, any partial redemption of Trust Securities shall be treated by Depositor and the Issuer Trust, and in purchasing the Trust Securities, the Holders agree to treat such partial redemption, as an in-kind distribution of the Trust Property to be redeemed to the Holders of the Trust Securities in redemption of the Trust Securities chosen to be redeemed by the Property Trustee or Clearing Agency immediately followed by a cash redemption by Depositor of such Trust Property held by such Holders.

Section 4.3 Subordination of Common Securities.

(a) If on any Distribution Date the Paying Agent lacks funds available from payments of interest, dividends or Contract Payments (as applicable) to make full Distributions then due on all of the outstanding Trust Securities in accordance with Section 4.1 (other than because of the Depositor’s proper exercise of its right to defer payment of Contract Payments or interest on the Notes), then:

(i) if the deficiency in funds results from the Depositor’s failure to make a full payment of interest on the Notes on an interest payment date for the Notes, then the available funds from the Depositor’s payment of interest on the Notes shall be applied first to make the Distributions then due on the Normal PPS and the Capital PPS on a pro rata basis on such Distribution Date up to the amount of such Distributions corresponding to interest payments on the Notes (or, if less, the amount of the corresponding Distributions that would have been made on the Normal PPS and Capital PPS had the Depositor made a full payment of interest on the Notes) before any such amount is applied to make a Distribution on Common Securities on such Distribution Date;

(ii) if the deficiency in funds results from the Depositor’s failure to make a full payment of Contract Payments on the Stock Purchase Contracts on a payment date for Contract Payments, then the available funds from the Depositor’s payment of Contract Payments shall be applied first to make Distributions then due on the Normal PPS and the Stripped PPS on a pro rata basis on such Distribution Date up to the amount of such Distributions corresponding to the Contract Payments on the Stock Purchase Contracts (or, if less, the amount of the corresponding Distributions that would have been made on the Normal PPS and the Stripped PPS had the Depositor made a full payment of Contract Payments on the Stock Purchase Contracts) before any such amount is applied to make a Distribution on Common Securities on such Distribution Date; and

(iii) if the deficiency in funds results from the Depositor’s failure to pay a full dividend on shares of Preferred Stock on a dividend payment date for the Preferred Stock, then the available funds from the Depositor’s payment of dividends on the Preferred Stock shall be applied first to make Distributions then due on the Normal PPS on a pro rata basis on such Distribution Date up to the amount of such Distributions corresponding to dividends on the Preferred Stock (or, if less, the amount of the corresponding Distributions that would have been made on the Normal PPS had the Depositor paid a full dividend on the Preferred Stock) before any such amount is applied to make a Distribution on Common Securities on such Distribution Date.

-29-

(b) If on any Redemption Date for a redemption pursuant to Section 4.2(a) the Paying Agent lacks funds available from the Depositor’s redemption of shares of Preferred Stock to pay the full Redemption Price then due on all of the outstanding Trust Securities to be redeemed in accordance with Section 4.2, then (i) the available funds shall be applied first to pay the Redemption Price on the Trust Preferred Securities to be redeemed on such Redemption Date and (ii) Common Securities shall be redeemed only to the extent funds are available for such purpose after the payment of the full Redemption Price on the Trust Preferred Securities to be redeemed, as aforesaid.

(c) If an Early Termination Event occurs, no Liquidation Distributions shall be made on the Common Securities until full Liquidation Distributions have been made on each Series of Trust Preferred Securities in accordance with Section 9.4(d).

(d) In the case of the occurrence of any Event of Default resulting from any Note Event of Default or Preferred Stock Default, the Holders of the Common Securities will be deemed to have waived any right to act with respect to any such Event of Default under this Trust Agreement until the effect of all such Events of Default with respect to the Trust Preferred Securities have been so cured, waived or otherwise eliminated. Until all such Events of Default under this Trust Agreement with respect to the Trust Preferred Securities have been so cured, waived or otherwise eliminated, the Property Trustee shall act solely on behalf of the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities and not on behalf of the Holders of the Common Securities, and only the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities will have the right to direct the Property Trustee to act on their behalf.

Section 4.4 Payment Procedures.

Payments of cash Distributions (including Additional Amounts, if applicable) in respect of the Trust Preferred Securities shall, subject to the next succeeding sentence, be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear on the Securities Register or, if the Trust Preferred Securities are held by a Clearing Agency, such Distributions shall be made to the Clearing Agency in immediately available funds, which shall credit the relevant Persons’ accounts at such Clearing Agency on the applicable Distribution Dates. A Holder of $1,000,000 or more in aggregate Liquidation Amount of Trust Preferred Securities may receive payments of cash Distributions (including any Additional Amounts) by wire transfer of immediately available funds upon written request to the Property Trustee, which the Property Trustee shall forward to the Paying Agent, not later than the 15^th calendar day, whether or not a Business Day, before the relevant Distribution Date. Payments in respect of the Common Securities shall be made in such manner as shall be mutually agreed between the Property Trustee and the Holders of the Common Securities.

Section 4.5 Tax Returns and Reports.

(a) The Administrative Trustees shall prepare (or cause to be prepared), at the Depositor’s expense, and file all United States Federal, state and local tax and information returns and reports required to be filed by or in respect of the Issuer Trust. In this regard, the Administrative Trustees shall (a) prepare and file (or cause to be prepared and filed) the appropriate Internal Revenue Service forms required to be filed in respect of the Issuer Trust in each taxable year of the Issuer Trust, and (b) prepare and furnish (or cause to be prepared and furnished) to each Securityholder the appropriate Internal Revenue Service forms required to be provided by the Issuer Trust. The Administrative Trustees shall provide the Depositor and the Property Trustee with a copy of all such returns and reports promptly after such filing or furnishing.

(b) The Issuer Trustees and the Paying Agent shall comply with United States Federal withholding and backup withholding tax laws and information reporting requirements with respect to any payments to Holders under the Trust Securities. Without limiting the above, the Issuer Trustees and the Paying Agent (and any agent of the Issuer Trust) shall withhold tax on any Contract Payments (and distribution of property in satisfaction of deferred Contract Payments) to any non United States person (as

-30-

defined under the Code) unless such person properly establishes an exemption from such withholding tax. The Administrative Trustees on behalf of the Issuer Trust and the Paying Agent shall request, and the Securityholders shall provide to the Issuer Trust, such forms and certificates as may be necessary to establish an exemption from or reduction in withholding and backup withholding tax with respect to each Securityholder and any representations and forms as shall reasonably be requested by the Administrative Trustees on behalf of the Issuer Trust and the Paying Agent to assist in determining the extent of, and in fulfilling, its withholding and backup withholding tax obligations. The Administrative Trustees and the Paying Agent shall file the required forms and certificates with the applicable jurisdictions and, unless an exemption from withholding and backup withholding tax is properly established by a Securityholder, shall remit amounts withheld with respect to the Security to applicable taxing authorities. To the extent that the Issuer Trust or the Paying Agent is required to withhold and pay over any amounts to any jurisdiction with respect to Distributions or allocations to any Securityholder, including any payments referred to in Section 4.6, the amount withheld shall be deemed to be a Distribution in the amount of the withholding to the Securityholder. If the amount required to be withheld was not withheld from actual Distributions made, the Administrative Trustees on behalf of the Issuer Trust and the Paying Agent may reduce subsequent Distributions by the amount of such required withholding.

Section 4.6 Payment of Expenses of the Issuer Trust.

The Depositor shall pay to the Issuer Trust, and reimburse the Issuer Trust for, the full amount of any costs, expenses or liabilities of the Issuer Trust (other than obligations of the Issuer Trust to pay the Holders of any Trust Preferred Securities or other similar interests in the Issuer Trust the amounts due such Holders pursuant to the terms of the Trust Preferred Securities or such other similar interests, as the case may be), including, without limitation, any taxes, duties or other governmental charges of whatever nature other than withholding taxes imposed on the Issuer Trust by the United States or any other taxing authority. Such payment obligation includes any such costs, expenses or liabilities of the Issuer Trust that are required by applicable law to be satisfied in connection with a dissolution of the Issuer Trust.

Section 4.7 Payments under Indenture or Pursuant to Direct Actions.

Any amount payable hereunder to any Holder of Trust Preferred Securities (or any Owner with respect thereto) shall be reduced by the amount of any corresponding payment such Holder (or Owner) has directly received pursuant to Section 508 of the Base Indenture, Section 3.1 of the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement or Section 5.16 of this Trust Agreement.

Section 4.8 Combination of Stripped PPS and Normal PPS after Stock Purchase Date.

If either (x) there has been a Successful Remarketing or (y) there has been a Failed Remarketing but on the Stock Purchase Date there is no Deferred Note Interest Amount outstanding (but in the case of each of clause (x) and (y) only if the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement is fully performed on the Stock Purchase Date), at the Securities Registrar’s opening of business on the Business Day next succeeding the Stock Purchase Date each Stripped PPS with its $1,000 Liquidation Amount shall automatically be and become a Normal PPS with a $1,000 Liquidation Amount, and each Stripped PPS Certificate (whether or not a Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificate) shall be deemed to represent a number of Normal PPS equal to the number of Stripped PPS represented by such Stripped PPS Certificate immediately prior to the Securities Registrar’s opening of business on such date. If there has been a Failed Remarketing and on the Stock Purchase Date there is a Deferred Note Interest Amount outstanding, then Stripped PPS will continue to remain outstanding after the Stock Purchase Date until the first date on which no Deferred Note Interest Amount is outstanding (including because any notes delivered pursuant to Section 2.5(c) of the Indenture Supplement have been fully paid) and, on the Business Day after all Deferred Note Interest Amounts have been fully paid, each Stripped PPS with its $1,000 Liquidation Amount shall automatically

be and become a Normal PPS with a $1,000 Liquidation Amount, and each Stripped PPS Certificate (whether or not a Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificate) shall be deemed to represent a number of Normal PPS equal to the number of Stripped PPS represented by such Stripped PPS Certificate immediately prior to the Securities Registrar’s opening of business on such date. On or after such date determined pursuant to either of the two preceding sentences, (a) upon surrender by a Holder of a Stripped PPS Certificate to the Securities Registrar, an Administrative Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Securities Registrar (who shall then deliver to such Holder) a Normal PPS Certificate representing the appropriate number of Normal PPS, and the Securities Registrar shall enter such Holder as appropriate in the Securities Register for the Normal PPS, and (b) as to Normal PPS and Stripped PPS represented by Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities, the Depositor, the Administrative Trustees, the Property Trustee, the Securities Registrar and the Paying Agent shall cooperate in an effort to cause the Stripped PPS to become Normal PPS in accordance with the rules and procedures of the applicable Clearing Agency (including, in the case of DTC if it is the Clearing Agency, adjustment if necessary or appropriate through DTC’s Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system).

The Trust Securities Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer Trust by manual or facsimile signature of at least one Administrative Trustee. Trust Securities Certificates bearing the manual signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures shall have been affixed, Administrative Trustees shall be validly issued and entitled to the benefits of this Trust Agreement, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be Administrative Trustees prior to the delivery of such Trust Securities Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of delivery of such Trust Securities Certificates. A transferee of a Trust Securities Certificate shall become a Holder, and shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Holder hereunder, upon due registration of such Trust Securities Certificate in such transferee’s name pursuant to Section 5.4, 5.11 or 5.13.

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

The Depositor shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 5.8, a register or registers for the purpose of registering Trust Securities Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Trust Preferred Securities Certificates (the “Securities Register”) in which the registrar designated by the Depositor (the “Securities Registrar”), subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, shall provide for the registration of Trust Preferred Securities Certificates and Common Securities Certificates (subject to Section 5.10 in the case of the Common Securities Certificates) and registration of transfers and exchanges of Trust Preferred Securities Certificates as herein provided. The provisions of Sections 8.1 (other than (c), (d)(i), (d)(iii) and (d)(iv) thereof), 8.3 (other than (g) and (j) thereof) and 8.6 shall apply to the Securities Registrar in the same manner that by their terms they apply to the Property Trustee, mutatis mutandis, as modified by the terms of the letter agreement, dated September 10, 2008 (the “Agent Agreement”), by and among the Depositor, the Administrative Trustees, the Securities Registrar and the Paying Agent, which is hereby incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof, and subject to the rights, privileges and immunities of the Securities Registrar under the Collateral Agreement. The Depositor shall take such action as shall be necessary to ensure that at all times there is a Securities Registrar and that, through the Stock Purchase Date, the same commercial bank or trust company is both Securities Registrar and Collateral Agent. By executing this Trust Agreement, the Depositor appoints Wilmington Trust Company as the initial Securities Registrar. Subject to the second preceding sentence, the Depositor 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 Trust Preferred Securities 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 Trust Preferred Securities 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, Trust Preferred Securities Certificates may be exchanged for other Trust Preferred Securities Certificates in authorized denominations of the same Series and of a like aggregate Liquidation Amount upon surrender of the Trust Preferred Securities Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 5.8. 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 Trust Preferred Security during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of selection for redemption of Trust Preferred Securities and ending at the close of business on the day of mailing of notice of redemption or (b) to transfer or exchange any Trust Preferred Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any Trust Preferred Security to be redeemed in part, any portion thereof not to be redeemed.

Every Trust Preferred Securities Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to an Administrative Trustee and the Securities Registrar duly executed by the Holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Trust Preferred Securities Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be 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 Trust Preferred Securities 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 Trust Preferred Securities 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 series, tenor and denomination. In connection with the issuance of any new Trust Securities Certificate under this Section, the Administrative Trustees or the Securities Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. Any duplicate Trust Securities Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of an undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the 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 Securityholders.

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

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

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

Section 5.8 Maintenance of Office or Agency.

The Administrative Trustees shall maintain an office or offices or agency or agencies where Trust Preferred Securities Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and for payment, and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer Trustees in respect of the Trust Securities Certificates may be served.

Section 5.9 Appointment of Paying Agent.

The Paying Agent shall make Distributions to Securityholders from the Payment Account and shall report the amounts of such Distributions to the Property Trustee and the Administrative Trustees. Any Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to withdraw funds from the Payment Account solely for the purpose of making the Distributions referred to above. The Administrative Trustees may revoke such power and remove the Paying Agent if such trustees determine in their sole discretion that the Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its obligations under this Trust Agreement in any material respect. The Administrative Trustees hereby appoint Wilmington Trust Company as the initial Paying Agent, and authorize Wilmington Trust Company to designate any co-paying agent that is acceptable to the Administrative Trustees and the Depositor. Any Person acting as Paying Agent shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent upon 30 days’ written notice to the Administrative Trustees, the Property Trustee and the Depositor. In the event that Wilmington Trust Company shall no longer be the Paying Agent or a successor Paying Agent shall resign or its authority to act be revoked, the Administrative Trustees shall appoint a successor that is reasonably acceptable to the Property Trustee and the Depositor to act as Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company). The Administrative Trustees shall cause such successor Paying Agent, any co-paying agent designated by Wilmington Trust Company or any additional Paying Agent appointed by the Administrative Trustees to execute and deliver to the Issuer Trustees an instrument in which such successor Paying Agent, co-paying agent or additional Paying Agent shall agree with the Issuer Trustees that as Paying Agent, such successor Paying Agent, co-paying agent or additional Paying Agent will hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Holders in trust for the benefit of the Holders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Holders. The Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the Property Trustee and upon removal of a Paying Agent such Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to the Property Trustee. The provisions of Sections 8.1 (other than (c), (d)(i), (d)(iii) and (d)(iv) 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, as modified by the terms of the Agent Agreement. 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 Depositor.

At the Closing Date, the Depositor shall acquire and retain 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 Depositor into another Person, or any conveyance, transfer or lease by the Depositor of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person pursuant to Section 801 of the Base Indenture, any attempted transfer of the Common Securities other than to a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Depositor shall be void. The Administrative Trustees shall cause each Common Securities Certificate issued to the Depositor to contain a legend stating “EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THE TRUST AGREEMENT (AS DEFINED BELOW), THIS CERTIFICATE IS NOT TRANSFERABLE.”

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) the Holder of a Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities 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 Trust Preferred Securities of the relevant Series is entitled to take under this Trust Agreement or the Trust Preferred Securities of the relevant Series, 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 Trust Preferred Security.

(b) Any Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificate shall represent such number of the Outstanding Trust Preferred Securities of the applicable Series as shall be specified therein and may provide that it shall represent the aggregate number of Outstanding Trust Preferred Securities of the applicable Series from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate number of Outstanding Trust Preferred Securities of the applicable Series represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect transfers, redemptions or exchanges (including the Exchanges pursuant to Section 5.13). Any endorsement of a Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificate to reflect the number, or any increase or decrease in the number, of Outstanding Trust Preferred Securities of the applicable Series represented thereby shall be made by the Securities Registrar (i) in such a manner and upon instructions given by such Person or Persons as shall be specified in such Trust Preferred Securities of the applicable Series or in a Depositor Order to be delivered to the Securities Registrar pursuant to Section 5.3 or (ii) otherwise in accordance with written instructions or such other written form or instructions as is customary for the Clearing Agency for such Trust Preferred Securities, from such Clearing Agency or its nominee on behalf of any Person having a beneficial interest in such Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificate.

Interests of Owners in a Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificate may be transferred in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Clearing Agency. Definitive Trust Preferred Securities Certificates shall be transferred to Owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificate if, and only if, either (1) the Clearing Agency notifies the Depositor and the Securities Registrar that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Clearing Agency for the Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities 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 Depositor 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 Trust Preferred Securities Certificates of each Series in lieu of all or a portion of the Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities (in which case an Administrative Trustee shall execute and deliver Definitive Trust Preferred Securities Certificates within 30 days of such request), or (3) the Depositor determines not to have the Trust Preferred Securities represented by the Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificates.

(e) In connection with any transfer of a portion of the beneficial interests in a Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities 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 Trust Preferred Securities of the applicable Series in an amount equal to the number of such Trust Preferred Securities of the applicable Series to be transferred, and an Administrative Trustee shall execute and deliver one or more Definitive Trust Preferred Securities Certificates of the same Series representing the appropriate number of Trust Preferred Securities of such Series.

(f) In connection with the transfer of all the beneficial interests in a Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificate to Owners pursuant to this Section 5.11, the Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificates shall 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 Trust Preferred Securities Certificate being canceled, a Definitive Trust Preferred Security Certificate representing an equal number of Trust Preferred Securities of the applicable Series.

None of the Issuer Trustees, the Securities Registrar, the Paying Agent or the Depositor 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 Trust Preferred Securities Certificates to be issued).

(y) on or promptly after the Remarketing Settlement Date, the Collateral Agent will pay to the Property Trustee or its designee, and the Property Trustee through the Paying Agent will pay to such Holder, an amount in cash for each Capital PPS subject to such Contingent Disposition Election equal to the proceeds of sale of $1,000 principal amount of Notes, net of a pro rata portion of the Remarketing Agent’s Fee, in the Remarketing; and

(ii) if the Remarketing is not Successful, the Securities Registrar will disregard the delivery by such Holder of Capital PPS pursuant to Section 5.14(f), with the consequence that such Holder shall continue to hold such Capital PPS.

Section 5.15 Definitive Trust Preferred Securities Certificates.

The Trust Preferred Securities Certificates issued at the Time of Delivery shall be issued as Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificates in accordance with Section 2.4. Additionally, if (a) the Depositor advises the Issuer Trustees in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its duties with respect to the Trust Preferred Securities Certificates and the Depositor is unable locate a qualified successor, (b) the Depositor at its option advises the Issuer Trustees in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency, or (c) after the occurrence of a Note Event of Default, Owners of Trust Preferred Securities Certificates representing beneficial interests aggregating at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Preferred Securities of all Series, considered together as a single Series, advise the Administrative Trustees in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interest of the Owners of Trust Preferred Securities Certificates, then the Administrative Trustees shall notify the other Issuer Trustees and the Clearing Agency, and the Clearing Agency shall notify all Owners of Trust Preferred Securities of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of the Definitive Trust Preferred Securities Certificates to Owners of such series, as applicable, requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Administrative Trustees of the Trust Preferred Securities Certificate or Certificates representing the Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificates by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Administrative Trustees, or any one of them, shall execute the Definitive Trust Preferred Securities Certificates in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. Neither the Securities Registrar nor the 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 Trust Preferred Securities Certificates, the Issuer Trustees shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Trust Preferred Securities Certificates as holders of Trust Securities. The Definitive Trust Preferred Securities Certificates shall be typewritten, printed, lithographed or engraved or may be produced in any other manner as is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Trustees that meets the requirements of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Trust Preferred Securities are then listed or approved for trading, as evidenced by the execution thereof by the Administrative Trustees or any one of them.

Section 5.16 Rights of Securityholders; Waivers of Past Defaults.

(a) The legal title to the Trust Property is vested exclusively in the Property Trustee (in its capacity as such), on behalf of the Issuer Trust, subject to and 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

-42-

personal property giving only the rights specifically set forth therein and in this Trust Agreement. The Trust Preferred Securities shall have no preemptive or similar rights and when issued and delivered to Holders against payment of the purchase price therefor will be fully paid and nonassessable 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) For so long as any Trust Preferred Securities of the Affected Series remain Outstanding, if, upon a Note Event of Default, the Note Trustee fails or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes fail to declare the principal of all of the Notes to be immediately due and payable, the Property Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Preferred Securities of the Affected Series then Outstanding, considered together as a single class, shall have the right to make such declaration by a notice in writing to the Depositor, the Note Trustee and the Property Trustee, in the case of notice by the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities of the Affected Series, or to the Depositor, the Note Trustee and the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities of the Affected Series, in the case of notice by the Property Trustee, and upon any such declaration such principal amount of and the accrued interest on all of the Notes shall become immediately due and payable as provided in the Indenture; provided, however, that the payment of principal and interest on such Notes shall remain subordinated to the extent provided in the Indenture.

At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Note Trustee as provided in the Indenture, the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Preferred Securities of the Affected Series, considered together as a single class, by written notice to the Property Trustee, the Depositor and the Note Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

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

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

(B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Notes that have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest (including any Additional Interest (as defined in the Indenture)) thereon at the rate borne by the Notes, and

(C) all sums paid or advanced by the Note Trustee under the Indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Note Trustee, its agents and counsel; and

(ii) all Events of Default with respect to the Notes, other than the non-payment of the principal of the Notes that has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513 of the Base Indenture.

The Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Preferred Securities of the Affected Series, considered together as a single class, may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Trust Preferred Securities of the Affected Series, waive any past default under the Indenture, except a default in the payment of principal or interest (unless such default has been cured or annulled as provided in Section 502 of the Indenture and the Depositor has paid or deposited with the Note Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all overdue installments of interest (including any Additional Interest (as defined in the Indenture)) on the Notes, the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Notes which have become due

-43-

otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate borne by the Notes, and all sums paid or advanced by the Note Trustee under the Indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Note Trustee and the Property Trustee, their agents and counsel) or a default in respect of a covenant or provision which under the Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the registered holder of each outstanding Note. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Upon receipt by the Property Trustee of written notice declaring such an acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof, by Holders of any part of the Trust Preferred Securities of the Affected Series a record date shall be established for determining Holders of Outstanding Trust Preferred Securities of the Affected Series entitled to join in such notice, which record date shall be at the close of business on the day the Property Trustee receives such notice. The Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such notice, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, however, that unless such declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having joined in such notice prior to the day that is 90 days after such record date, such notice of declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be canceled and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a Holder, or a proxy of a Holder, from giving, after expiration of such 90-day period, a new written notice of declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof, as the case may be, that is identical to a written notice that has been canceled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in which event a new record date shall be established pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.16(b).

(c) For so long as any Trust Preferred Securities of the Affected Series remain Outstanding, to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the terms of this Trust Agreement and the Indenture, upon a Note Event of Default, any Holder of Trust Preferred Securities of the Affected Series shall have the right to institute a proceeding directly against the Depositor, pursuant to Section 508 of the Base Indenture, for enforcement of payment to such Holder of any amounts payable in respect of a Like Amount of Notes (a “Direct Action”). Except as set forth in Section 5.16(b) and this Section 5.16(c), the Holders of Trust Preferred Securities of the Affected Series shall have no right to exercise directly any right or remedy available to the holders of, or in respect of, the Notes.

(d) For so long as any Trust Preferred Securities of the Affected Series remain Outstanding, to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the terms of this Trust Agreement and the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement, if the Depositor fails to pay when due any Contract Payments under the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement (after giving effect to the Depositor’s deferral right under Section 2.7 of the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement), any Holder of Trust Preferred Securities of the Affected Series shall have the right to institute a proceeding directly against the Depositor, pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement, for enforcement of payment to such Holder of any amounts payable in respect of a Like Amount of Stock Purchase Contracts (also a “Direct Action”). Except as set forth in this Section 5.16(d), the Holders of Trust Preferred Securities of the Affected Series shall have no right to exercise directly any right or remedy under the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement available to the Issuer Trust (acting through the Property Trustee) as a party thereto.

(e) Except as otherwise provided in Sections 5.16(a), (b), (c) and (d), the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Preferred Securities may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Trust Preferred Securities, 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.

-44-

Section 5.17 CUSIP Numbers.

The Administrative Trustees in issuing the Trust Preferred Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Property Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Trust Preferred Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Trust Preferred Securities, 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 in writing of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

Section 5.18 Remarketing Procedures.

(a) The Depositor will give written notice to the Property Trustee of a Remarketing at least 28 days prior to the first day of the related Remarketing Period. Upon written instruction of the Depositor (accompanied by a written notice prepared in accordance with the requirements of this Section 5.18), the Property Trustee will give holders of Normal PPS and Capital PPS, and will request that the Clearing Agency give to its participants holding Normal PPS or Capital PPS, notice of a Remarketing at least 21 days prior to the first day of the related Remarketing Period. Such notices will set forth:

(vi) whether the Notes are being remarketed in the form of New Trust Preferred Securities;

(vii) whether the Depositor intends to list the Notes (or the New Trust Preferred Securities) on a securities exchange or market if the Remarketing is Successful;

ARTICLE VI

ACTS OF HOLDERS; MEETINGS; VOTING

Section 6.1 Limitations on Voting Rights.

(a) Except as expressly provided in this Trust Agreement and in the Indenture and as otherwise required by law, no Holder of Trust Preferred Securities shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the administration, operation and management of the 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 Notes are held by the Property Trustee on behalf of the Issuer Trust, the Issuer Trustees shall not (i) direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Note Trustee, or execute any trust or power conferred on the Note Trustee with respect to the Notes, (ii) waive any past default that may be waived under Section 513 of the Base Indenture, (iii) exercise any right to rescind or annul a declaration that the principal of all the Notes shall be due and payable, or (iv) consent to any amendment, modification or termination of the Indenture or the Notes, where such consent shall be required by the Holders of the Notes pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, without, in each case, obtaining the prior approval of the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Normal PPS and the Capital PPS then Outstanding, considered together as a single class; provided, however, that where a consent under the Indenture would require the consent of each holder of Notes affected thereby, no such consent shall be given by the Property Trustee without the prior written consent of each Holder of Normal PPS and Capital PPS. The Issuer Trustees shall not revoke any action previously authorized or approved by a vote of the Holders of the Normal PPS and the Capital PPS, except by a subsequent vote of the Holders of the Normal PPS and the Capital PPS. The Property Trustee shall notify all Holders of the Normal PPS and the Capital PPS of any notice of default received with respect to the Notes. In addition to obtaining the foregoing approvals of the Holders of the Normal PPS and the Capital PPS, prior to taking any of the foregoing actions, the Issuer Trustees shall, at the expense of the Depositor, obtain an Opinion of Counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that such action shall not cause the Issuer Trust to be treated as an association or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation or as other than one or more grantor trusts or agency arrangements for United States Federal income tax purposes.

(c) For so long as any Stock Purchase Contracts are outstanding, at the written request of the Depositor, the Issuer Trustees may consent to any amendment to or modification of the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement or the Collateral Agreement, without having obtained the prior approval of the Holders of any Trust Preferred Securities to such amendment or modification, for the purposes of (i) evidencing the succession of another person to the Issuer Trust’s or the Property Trustee’s obligations

-46-

thereunder, (ii) adding to the covenants therein for the benefit of the Issuer Trust or the Property Trustee or to surrender any of the Depositor’s rights or powers thereunder, (iii) evidencing and providing for the acceptance of appointment of a successor Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary under the Collateral Agreement, (iv) curing any ambiguity, or correcting or supplementing any provisions that may be inconsistent, (v) conforming the terms of the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement or the Collateral Agreement, to the descriptions thereof in the Prospectus, or (vi) making any other provisions with respect to such matters or questions; provided, however, that such action pursuant to this clause (vi) shall not adversely affect the interest of the Holders of Trust Preferred Securities of any Series in any material respect. At the request of the Depositor the Issuer Trustees shall be entitled to, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Normal PPS and Stripped PPS then Outstanding, considered together as a single class, agree to any other amendment to or modification of the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement or the Collateral Agreement, except that, without obtaining the prior written consent of each Holder of Normal PPS and Capital PPS then Outstanding, the Issuer Trustees may not agree to any amendment or modification that would (A) change any payment dates for Contract Payments, (B) change the amount or type of Pledged Notes or Pledged Treasury Securities required to be pledged under the Collateral Agreement, impair the right of the Property Trustee (on behalf of the Issuer Trust) to receive Distributions on Pledged Notes or Pledged Treasury Securities or otherwise adversely affect the Issuer Trust’s rights in or to the Pledged Notes or Pledged Treasury Securities, (C) change the place or currency of payment or reduce any Contract Payments, (D) impair the Property Trustee’s right (or any Holder’s right pursuant to Section 5.16(d)) to institute suit for the enforcement of the Stock Purchase Contracts or payment of any Contract Payments, or (E) reduce the number of shares of Preferred Stock purchasable under the Stock Purchase Contracts, increase the price to purchase Preferred Stock upon settlement of the Stock Purchase Contracts, change the Stock Purchase Date or otherwise adversely affect the Issuer Trust’s rights under the Stock Purchase Contracts.

(d) 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 Normal PPS and the Stripped PPS then Outstanding, considered together as a single class. Additionally, in addition to and notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer Trustees shall not consent to any amendment to the Certificate of Designation or the Depositor’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 Normal PPS and Stripped PPS. In addition to obtaining the foregoing approvals of the Holders of Normal PPS and Stripped PPS, prior to taking any of the foregoing actions, the Property Trustee shall, at the expense of the Depositor, obtain an Opinion of Counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that such action shall not cause the Issuer Trust to be classified as an association or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation or as other than one or more grantor trusts or agency arrangements for United States Federal income tax purposes.

(e) If any proposed amendment to or modification of this Trust Agreement, the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement or the Collateral Agreement provides for, or any of the Issuer Trustees otherwise proposes to effect, any action that would adversely affect in any material respect the powers, preferences or special rights of the Trust Preferred Securities of any Series in a manner that is different from the manner in which it would affect the Trust Preferred Securities of other Series, whether by way of amendment to or modification of this Trust Agreement, the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement or the Collateral Agreement or otherwise, then the Holders of the Outstanding Trust Preferred Securities of such Series will be entitled to vote on such amendment or proposal and such amendment or proposal shall not be effective except with the approval of the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Preferred Securities of such Series. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust Agreement, no amendment to this Trust Agreement may be made if, as a result of such amendment, it would cause the Issuer Trust to be treated as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation or as other than one or more grantor trusts or agency arrangements for United States Federal income tax purposes.

-47-

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

(g) The Property Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, request a vote or seek the consent of the Holders of the applicable series of PPS in connection with any matters on which it is permitted to exercise voting or other consensual rights with respect to the Notes pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Collateral Agreement.

Section 6.2 Notice of Meetings.

Notice of all meetings of the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities of any one or more Series, stating the time, place and purpose of the meeting, shall be given by the Property Trustee pursuant to Section 12.8 to each Holder of Trust Preferred Securities of each Series 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 Securityholders of the Trust Preferred Securities.

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

The Holders of record of 50% of the Trust Preferred Securities of the Affected Series entitled to attend a meeting, present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of the Securityholders of the Trust Preferred Securities.

If a quorum is present at a meeting, an affirmative vote by the Securityholders present, in person or by proxy, holding Trust Preferred Securities representing at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Preferred Securities of the Affected Series 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 Trust Preferred Securities of the Affected Series 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 Securityholders are entitled to vote.

-48-

Section 6.5 Proxies, Etc.

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

Section 6.6 Holder Action by Written Consent.

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

Section 6.7 Record Date for Voting and Other Purposes.

For the purposes of determining the Holders who are entitled to notice of and to vote at any meeting or by written consent, or to participate in any Distribution on the Trust Securities in respect of which a record date is not otherwise provided for in this Trust Agreement, or for the purpose of any other action, the Administrative Trustees may from time to time fix a date, not more than 90 days prior to the date of any meeting of Holders or the payment of a Distribution or other action, as the case may be, as a record date for the determination of the identity of the Holders of record for such purposes.

Section 6.8 Acts of Holders.

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 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 or the authority of the Person executing the same 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.

-49-

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.

A Holder may institute a legal proceeding directly against the Depositor under the Guarantee Agreement to enforce its rights under the Guarantee Agreement without first instituting a legal proceeding against the Issuer Trust or any person or entity.

Section 6.9 Inspection of Records.

Upon at least five Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Trustees and the Property Trustee, the records of the Issuer Trust shall be open to inspection by Holders during normal business hours for any purpose reasonably related to such Holder’s interest as a Holder.

Section 6.10 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.

THE ISSUER TRUSTEES

Section 8.1 Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

(a) The duties and responsibilities of the Issuer Trustees shall be as provided by this Trust Agreement and, in the case of the Property Trustee, by the Trust Indenture Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Trust Agreement shall require any of the Issuer Trustees to expend or risk its or their own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its or their duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its or their rights or powers, if it or they shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of

-51-

this Trust Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Issuer Trustees shall be subject to the provisions of this Section. 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 Depositor 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.

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

(vii) the Property Trustee shall not be responsible for monitoring the compliance by the Administrative Trustees, the Depositor, the Collateral Agent, the Securities Registrar, the Custodial Agent, the Paying Agent, the Remarketing 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 Depositor, the Collateral Agent, the Securities Registrar, the Custodial Agent, the Paying Agent, the Remarketing Agent or any other Person.

Unless and until a Note Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time or times, for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of the Trust Indenture Act or of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Property may at the time be located, the Holder of Common Securities and the Administrative Trustees, by agreed action of the majority of such Issuer Trustees, shall have power to appoint, and upon the written request of the Administrative Trustees, the Depositor shall for such purpose join with the Administrative Trustees in the execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and

agreements necessary or proper to appoint, one or more Persons either to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Property Trustee, of all or any part of such Trust Property, or to the extent required by law to act as separate trustee of any such property, in either case with such powers as may be provided in the instrument of appointment, and to vest in such Person or Persons in the capacity aforesaid, any property, title, right or power deemed necessary or desirable, subject to the other provisions of this Section. If the Depositor does not join in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request to do so, or in case a Note Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Property Trustee shall have the sole power to make such appointment. Any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed pursuant to this Section shall either be (i) a natural person who is at least 21 years of age and a resident of the United States, or (ii) a legal entity with its principal place of business in the United States that shall act through one or more persons authorized to bind such entity.

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

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

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

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

Upon the written request of the Property Trustee, the Depositor shall join with the Property Trustee in the execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to effectuate such resignation or removal.

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

Section 8.10 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

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

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

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

If any Issuer Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting as Issuer Trustee, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of any Issuer Trustee for any cause, at a time when no Note Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Holders of the Common Securities, by Act of the Holders of the Common Securities delivered in writing to the retiring Issuer Trustee, with a copy to the Property Trustee, shall promptly appoint a successor Issuer Trustee or Issuer Trustees, and the retiring Issuer Trustee shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11. If the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of continuing to act as the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, at a time when a Note Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities, by Act of the Securityholders of a majority in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Preferred Securities then Outstanding delivered to the retiring Relevant Trustee, with a copy to the Property Trustee, shall promptly appoint a successor Relevant Trustee or Trustees, and such successor Trustee shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11. If an Administrative Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting as Administrative Trustee, at a time when a Note Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Holders of the Common Securities by Act of the Holders of the Common Securities delivered to the Administrative Trustee, with a copy to the Property Trustee, shall promptly appoint a successor Administrative Trustee or Administrative Trustees and such successor Administrative Trustee or Trustees shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11. If no successor Relevant Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Holders of the Common Securities or the Trust Preferred Securities and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 8.11, the retiring Relevant Trustee, at the expense of the Issuer Trust, or any Securityholder who has been a Securityholder of Trust Securities for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, 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 12.8 and shall give notice to the Depositor. 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.

-60-

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

Section 8.11 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

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

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

Upon written 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 first or second preceding paragraph as the case may be.

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

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

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

Section 8.16 Evidence of Compliance with Conditions Precedent.

Each of the Depositor and the Administrative Trustees on behalf of the Trust shall provide to the Property Trustee such evidence of compliance with any conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Trust Agreement that relate to any of the matters set forth in Section 314(c) of the Trust Indenture Act. Any certificate or opinion required to be given by an officer pursuant to Section 314(c)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act shall be given in the form of an Officers’ Certificate.

Section 8.17 Number of Issuer Trustees.

(a) The number of Issuer Trustees shall be four; provided, however, that the Holder of all of the Common Securities by written instrument may increase or decrease the number of Administrative Trustees. The Property Trustee and the Delaware Trustee may be the same Person.

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.

-63-

Section 9.2 Early Termination.

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

(a) the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event in respect of, or the dissolution or liquidation of, the Holder of the Common Securities;

(b) at any time after the Stock Purchase Date or earlier termination of the Stock Purchase Contracts, the written direction of the Property Trustee from the Depositor as the holder of the Common Securities at any time to dissolve the Issuer Trust and distribute Corresponding Assets as to Securityholders in exchange for the Trust Preferred Securities (which direction is optional and wholly within the discretion of the Depositor);

(c) the redemption of all of the Trust Preferred Securities in accordance with the provisions of this Trust Agreement; and

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

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

Section 9.3 Dissolution.

The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Issuer 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.

Section 9.4 Liquidation.

(a) If an Early Termination 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 requirements of Section 3808(e) of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, to each Holder of Trust Preferred Securities of each Series the Corresponding Assets in respect of such Trust Preferred Securities as of the date of such distribution, subject to Section 9.4(d). If an Early Termination Event specified in clause (d) of Section 9.2 occurs and such Early Termination Event is also an Early Settlement Event, unless otherwise required by applicable law the Issuer Trust will not be liquidated until after the Stock Purchase Date but, commencing promptly after the Stock Purchase Date, 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 satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Issuer Trust as provided by applicable law, to each Holder of Trust Preferred Securities of each Series the Corresponding Assets in respect of such Trust Preferred Securities 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 Trust Preferred Securities of each Series at such Holder’s address appearing in the Securities Register. All such notices of liquidation shall:

(i) state the CUSIP Number of the Trust Securities of each Series;

-64-

(ii) state the Liquidation Date;

(iii) state that from and after the Liquidation Date, the Trust Securities of such Series will no longer be deemed to be Outstanding and any Trust Securities Certificates not surrendered for exchange will be deemed to represent the Corresponding Assets in respect of the Trust Securities represented by such certificates 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 Trust Securities Certificates of such Series for Corresponding Assets, or if Section 9.4(d) applies, receive a Liquidation Distribution, as the Administrative Trustees shall deem appropriate.

(b) Except where Section 9.2(c) or 9.4(d) applies, in order to effect the liquidation of the Issuer Trust and distribution of the Corresponding Assets to Holders, the Administrative Trustees, 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 they shall deem appropriate to effect the distribution of Corresponding Assets in exchange for the Outstanding Trust Securities Certificates of the related Series.

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

(d) In the event that, notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 9.4, whether because of an order for dissolution entered by a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise, distribution of the Corresponding Assets in the manner provided herein is determined by the Property Trustee not to be practical, or if an Early Termination Event specified in clause (c) of Section 9.2 occurs, the Trust Property shall be liquidated, and the Issuer Trust’s affairs wound-up, by the Property Trustee 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 Termination Event specified in clause (c) 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 (including Section 3808(e) of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act), 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). Holders of the Common Securities to receive Liquidation Distributions will be subordinated to the right of Holders of Trust Preferred Securities 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. 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 Trust Preferred Securities of any Series, 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, however, that (i) such successor entity either (a) expressly assumes all of the obligations of the Issuer Trust with respect to the Trust Preferred Securities, or (b) substitutes for the Trust Preferred Securities other securities having substantially the same terms as the Trust Preferred Securities (the “Successor Securities”) so long as the Successor Securities have the same priority as the Trust Preferred Securities with respect to Distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption and otherwise, (ii) the Successor Securities of any Series are listed, or any Successor Securities of any Series will be listed upon notification of issuance, on any national securities exchange or other organization on which the Trust Preferred Securities of such Series 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 Trust Preferred Securities of any Series (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 Trust Preferred Securities of any Series (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, there has been delivered to the Property Trustee 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 Trust Preferred Securities of any Series (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 1940 Act, (viii) there has been delivered to the Issuer Trustees 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 treated as an association or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for United States Federal income tax purposes, (ix) there has been delivered to the Issuer Trustees an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, amalgamation, conveyance, transfer or lease and, if an amendment of this Trust Agreement is required in connection with such transaction, such amendment complies with Section 12.2 and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with; and the Issuer Trustees may rely upon such Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that such transaction complies with this Section 9.5, (x) the Depositor or its permitted transferee owns all of the common securities of such successor entity and the Depositor guarantees the obligations of such successor entity under the Successor Securities at least to the extent provided by the Guarantee Agreement and (xi) all amounts payable to the Issuer Trustees under Section 8.6 have been paid. The Issuer Trust may with the consent of Holders of all of the Trust Preferred Securities, consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or be replaced by or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any other entity or permit any other entity to consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or replace it even if such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease would otherwise not be permitted under (viii) of the preceding sentence.

(a) The Administrative Trustees or any one of them shall, for each March 26, June 26, September 26, and December 26, commencing on December 26, 2008 and ending on the Stock Purchase Date or the earlier termination of the Stock Purchase Contracts, or if any such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day (each, a “Reference Date”) identify:

(i) the 13-week treasury bill that matures at least one and not more than six Business Days prior to that Reference Date, or

(ii) if no 13-week treasury bill that matures at least one and not more than six Business Days prior to that Reference Date is or is scheduled to be outstanding on the immediately preceding Reference Date, the 26-week treasury bill that matures at least one and not more than six Business Days prior to that Reference Date, or

(iii) if neither of such treasury bills is or is scheduled to be outstanding on the immediately preceding Reference Date, any other treasury security (which may be a zero coupon treasury security) that is outstanding on the immediately preceding Reference Date, is highly liquid and matures at least one Business Day prior to such Reference Date; provided, however, that any treasury security identified pursuant to this clause (iii) shall be selected in a manner intended to minimize the cash value of the security selected.

The security most recently identified by the Administrative Trustees or any one of them with respect to any Reference Date shall be the “Qualifying Treasury Security” with respect to the period from and including its date of issuance (or if later, the date of maturity of the Qualifying Treasury Security with respect to the immediately preceding Reference Date) to but excluding its date of maturity, and the Administrative Trustees’ identification of a security as a Qualifying Treasury Security for such period shall be final and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The Administrative Trustees or any one of them shall give (or cause to be given) prompt written notice to the Depositor, the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Property Trustee of each determination made pursuant to this Section 10.1. The Qualifying Treasury Security for the period from and including the date hereof to but excluding its date of maturity will be the US Treasury bill issued on June 19, 2008 and due on December 18, 2008, CUSIP No. 912795J36.
