(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 (and (i) in the case of the Normal APEX, Capital APEX and Common Securities, Additional Amounts and Deferred Note Interest Amounts, and (ii) in the case of the Normal APEX, Stripped APEX 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 APEX 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 APEX and Common Security equal to the Normal APEX Distribution Rate for such Distribution Period (with the consequence that the amount of the Distribution for each $1,000 of Normal APEX 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 a Like 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 a Like Amount of Preferred Stock for each Distribution Period thereafter);

(iii) Distributions shall be cumulative; and

(iv) additionally, on each Additional Distribution Date on which Stripped APEX 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 APEX 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.

(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 Agreement

-26-

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.

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 APEX, in whole but not in part, in kind by exchanging for each Capital APEX 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 APEX, in whole but not in part, in kind by exchanging for each Capital APEX 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 APEX.

(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(e)(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 APEX and Common Securities pursuant to Section 4.2(a) or Capital APEX 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, 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

Trust Agreement

-28-

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 APEX and Common Securities are to be redeemed on a Redemption Date, then the aggregate Liquidation Amount of Normal APEX and Common Securities to be redeemed shall be allocated pro rata to the Common Securities and the Normal APEX being redeemed based upon the relative Liquidation Amounts of such series. The particular Normal APEX 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 APEX not previously called for redemption or, if that is not practical, by lot or any other method the Property Trustee deems fair and appropriate, provided, however, that so long as the Normal APEX are in book-entry form, such selection shall be made in accordance with the customary procedures for the Clearing Agency for the Normal APEX. The Property Trustee shall promptly notify the Securities Registrar in writing of the Normal APEX selected for redemption and, in the case of any Normal APEX 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 APEX shall relate, in the case of any Normal APEX redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of Normal APEX that has been or is to be redeemed.

(iv) If less than all the Outstanding Capital APEX are to be redeemed on a Redemption Date, then the particular Capital APEX 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 APEX not previously called for redemption or, if that is not practical, by lot or any other method the Property Trustee deems fair and appropriate, provided, however, that so long as the Capital APEX are in book-entry form, such selection shall be made in accordance with the customary procedures for the Clearing Agency for the Capital APEX. The Property Trustee shall promptly notify the Securities Registrar in writing of the Capital APEX selected for redemption and, in the case of any Capital APEX 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 APEX shall relate, in the case of any Capital APEX redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of Capital APEX 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.

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 APEX and the Capital APEX 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 APEX and Capital APEX 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 APEX and the Stripped APEX 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 APEX and the Stripped APEX 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 APEX 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 APEX 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.

(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 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. The Administrative Trustees on behalf of the Trust shall request, and the Securityholders shall provide to the 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 Trust to assist in determining the extent of, and in fulfilling, its withholding and backup withholding tax obligations. The Administrative Trustees 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 Trust 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

Trust Agreement

-31-

withheld was not withheld from actual Distributions made, the Administrative Trustees on behalf of the Trust 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 Trust, and reimburse the Trust for, the full amount of any costs, expenses or liabilities of the Trust (other than obligations of the Trust to pay the Holders of any Trust Preferred Securities or other similar interests in the 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 Trust by the United States or any other taxing authority. Such payment obligation includes any such costs, expenses or liabilities of the Trust that are required by applicable law to be satisfied in connection with a dissolution of the 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 5.8 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 APEX and Normal APEX 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 APEX with its $1,000 Liquidation Amount shall automatically be and become a Normal APEX with a $1,000 Liquidation Amount, and each Stripped APEX Certificate (whether or not a Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificate) shall be deemed to represent a number of Normal APEX equal to the number of Stripped APEX represented by such Stripped APEX 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 APEX 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 3.5(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 APEX with its $1,000 Liquidation Amount shall automatically be and become a Normal APEX with a $1,000 Liquidation Amount, and each Stripped APEX Certificate (whether or not a Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificate) shall be deemed to represent a number of Normal APEX equal to the number of Stripped APEX represented by such Stripped APEX 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 APEX 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 APEX Certificate representing the appropriate number of Normal APEX, and the Securities Registrar shall enter such Holder as appropriate in the Securities Register for the Normal APEX, and (b) as to Normal APEX and Stripped APEX represented by Book-Entry 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 APEX to become Normal APEX in accordance with the rules and procedures of the applicable Clearing Agency (including, in the case of

Trust Securities Certificates

Section 5.1 Initial Ownership.

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

Section 5.2 The Trust Securities Certificates.

The Trust Preferred Securities Certificates shall be issued in minimum denominations of one Trust Preferred Security and integral multiples thereof (corresponding to $1,000 Liquidation Amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof), and the Common Securities Certificates shall be issued in minimum denominations of one Common Security and integral multiples thereof (corresponding to $1,000 Liquidation Amount and integral multiples thereof). Trust Preferred Securities Certificates and Common Securities Certificates shall not be issued in denominations representing fractions of a Trust Preferred Security or Common Security, as applicable. The Trust Securities Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer Trust by manual 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 5.3 Execution and Delivery of Trust Securities Certificates.

On the Closing Date, the Administrative Trustees shall cause Trust Securities Certificates representing the number of Trust Securities of the applicable Series provided in Sections 2.4 and 2.5 to be executed on behalf of the Issuer Trust and delivered to or upon the written order of the Depositor, signed by its chairman of the board, its president, any executive vice president or any vice president, treasurer or assistant treasurer or controller, without further corporate action by the Depositor, in authorized denominations. At any Time of Delivery after the First Time of Delivery, subject to the next sentence, the Administrative Trustees may cause additional Normal APEX to be executed on behalf of the Issuer Trust and delivered to or upon the written order of the Depositor, signed by its chairman of the board, its president, any executive vice president or any vice president, treasurer or assistant treasurer or controller, without further corporate action by the Depositor, in authorized denominations; provided, however, that no such additional Normal APEX shall be issued unless the Administrative Trustees shall have receive an Opinion of Counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that such issuance will not cause the Issuer Trust to be taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes or affect the Issuer Trust’s exemption from status as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act. At no time will the aggregate Liquidation Amount of all Outstanding Trust Preferred Securities (including additional Preferred Securities) exceed $575,000,000.

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 January 30, 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. The Administrative Trustees initially designate the Securities Registrar’s Corporate Trust Office as its principal corporate trust office for such purposes. The Administrative Trustees shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor, the Property Trustee and to the Holders of any change in the location of the Securities Register or any such office or agency.

Section 5.9 Appointment of Paying Agent.

The Paying Agent shall make Distributions to 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

Trust Agreement

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 8.1 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.”

(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).

Section 5.15 Definitive Trust Preferred Securities Certificates.

The Trust Preferred Securities Certificates issued at each Time of Delivery shall be issued as Book-Entry Trust Preferred Securities Certificates in accordance with Section 2.4.

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 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 5.13 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 5.3 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 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 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 specified in the Indenture Supplement, 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 5.8 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.

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.

(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.

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 5.13 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 APEX and the Capital APEX 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 APEX and Capital APEX. The Issuer Trustees shall not revoke any action previously authorized or approved by a vote of the Holders of the Normal APEX and the Capital APEX, except by a subsequent vote of the Holders of the Normal APEX and the Capital APEX. The Property Trustee shall notify all Holders of the Normal APEX and the Capital APEX of any notice of default received with respect to the Notes. In addition to obtaining the foregoing approvals of the Holders of the Normal APEX and the Capital APEX, 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 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.

(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 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 APEX and Stripped APEX 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 APEX and Capital APEX 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 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.

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 APEX and Stripped APEX. In addition to obtaining the foregoing approvals of the Holders of Normal APEX and Stripped APEX, 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 classified 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.

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 Applicable 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 Applicable 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 Applicable 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.

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

Trust Agreement

-49-

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.

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

Trust Agreement

-50-

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.

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 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

Trust Agreement

-52-

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. Each Holder, by its acceptance of a Trust Security, agrees that it will look solely to the revenue and proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent legally available for distribution to it as herein provided and that the Issuer Trustees are not personally liable to such Holder for any amount distributable in respect of any Trust Security or for any other liability in respect of any Trust Security. This Section 8.1(b) does not limit the liability of the Issuer Trustees expressly set forth elsewhere in this Trust Agreement or, in the case of the Property Trustee, in the Trust Indenture Act.

(c) The Property Trustee, before the occurrence of any Event of Default and after the curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, shall undertake to perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Trust Agreement (including pursuant to Section 12.11), and no implied covenants shall be read into this Trust Agreement against the Property Trustee.

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

(i) this Subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of Subsection (a) of this Section;

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

(A) the duties and obligations of the Property Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Trust Agreement (including pursuant to Section 12.11), and the Property Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Trust Agreement (including pursuant to Section 12.11); and

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

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

Trust Agreement

-53-

(iv) the Property Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the written direction (and the Property Trustee shall be entitled in writing to request, and upon such request to receive such written direction) of the Depositor or the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Preferred Securities of all Affected Series considered together as a single Series, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Property Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Property Trustee under this Trust Agreement;

(v) the Property Trustee’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Notes and the Payment Account shall be (A) before the occurrence of any Event of Default and after the curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, to undertake to perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Trust Agreement and the Trust Indenture Act, and (B) in case an Event of Default has occurred (that has not been cured or waived pursuant hereto), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Trust Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise thereof, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs, subject to the protections and limitations on liability afforded to the Property Trustee under this Trust Agreement and the Trust Indenture Act;

(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.

For so long as Stock Purchase Contracts are included within the Trust Property, within five Business Days after the receipt of notice of the Depositor’s exercise of its right to defer Contract Payments, the Property Trustee or the Administrative Trustees shall transmit, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 12.9, notice of such exercise to the Holders of the Normal APEX and the Stripped APEX, unless such exercise shall have been revoked.

For so long as shares of Preferred Stock are included within the Trust Property, within five Business Days after the receipt of notice of the Depositor’s determination not to pay dividends on a dividend payment date, the Property Trustee shall transmit, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 12.9, notice of such decision to the Holders of the Normal APEX and Stripped APEX, unless such notice shall have been revoked.

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

faith, determine that the proceeding so directed would be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders not joining in any such direction or would involve the Property Trustee in personal liability;

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

(l) in no event shall the Property Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Property Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action;

(m) the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Property Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Property Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder; and

(n) the Property Trustee may from time to time request that the Depositor deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Agreement.

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

Section 8.9 Co-Trustees and Separate Trustee.

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.

Trust Agreement

-59-

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.

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

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

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

Trust Agreement

-60-

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 Common Securityholder. 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 Capital 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 Common Securityholder 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 Common Securityholder, by Act of the Common Securityholder 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 Trust Preferred Securityholders, 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 Common Securityholder by Act of the Common Securityholder 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 Common Securityholder or the Capital Securityholders 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 12.9 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.

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

Trust Agreement

ARTICLE IX

Dissolution, Liquidation and Merger

Section 9.1 Perpetual Existence.

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

Section 9.2 Early 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 a Like Amount of Corresponding Assets 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, because 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

Trust Agreement

-65-

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 a Like Amount of Corresponding Assets 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;

(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 a Like Amount of Corresponding Assets 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 a Like Amount of Corresponding Assets of the applicable Series 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

Trust Agreement

-66-

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, 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 classified 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 Agreementis required in connection with such transaction, such amendment complies with this 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

Trust Agreement

-67-

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.
