Solicitations as Agent The Agents propose to solicit offers to purchase the Notes upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Prospectus and upon the terms communicated to the Agents from time to time by the Company and the Trust or the Purchasing Agent, as the case may be. For the purpose of such solicitation, the Agents are not authorized, without the prior written consent of the Company, to provide any written information relating to the Company and the Trust to any prospective purchaser other than the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented which has been most recently distributed to the Agents by the Company, and the Agents will solicit offers to purchase only as permitted or contemplated thereby and herein and will solicit offers to purchase the Notes only as permitted by the 1933 Act and the applicable securities laws or regulations of any jurisdiction. The Company and the Trust reserve the right, in their sole discretion, to suspend solicitation of offers to purchase the Notes commencing at any time for any period of time or permanently. Upon receipt of instructions (which may be given orally) from the Company and the Trust, the Agents will suspend promptly solicitation of offers to purchase until such time as the Company and the Trust has advised the Agents that such solicitation may be resumed. Unless otherwise instructed by the Company and the Trust, the Agents are authorized to solicit offers to purchase the Notes only in denominations of $1,000 or more (in multiples of $1,000). The Agents are not authorized to appoint subagents or to engage the services of any other broker or dealer in connection with the offer or sale of the Notes without the consent of the Company and the Trust. Each Agent shall have the right, in its discretion reasonably exercised, to reject any proposed purchase of Notes, as a whole or in part, and any such rejection shall not be deemed a breach of its agreements contained herein. The Company and the Trust agree to pay the Purchasing Agent, as consideration for soliciting offers to purchase Notes pursuant to the Selling Agent Agreement, a concession in the form of a discount equal to the percentages of the initial offering price of each Note actually sold as set forth in Exhibit Q hereto (the "Concession"); provided, however, that the Company, the Trust and the Purchasing Agent may agree also to a Concession greater than or less than the percentages set forth on Exhibit Q hereto. The actual aggregate Concession with respect to the Notes will be set forth in the related Pricing Supplement. The Purchasing Agent and the other Agents or Selected Dealers will share the above-mentioned Concession in such proportions as they may agree. Unless otherwise authorized by the Company and the Trust, all Notes shall be sold to the public at a purchase price not to exceed 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest, if any. Such purchase price shall be set forth in the confirmation statement of the Agent or Selected Dealer responsible for such sale and delivered to the purchaser along with a copy of the Prospectus (if not previously delivered) and Pricing Supplement.

Directors as Agents To the extent of their powers set forth in this Agreement and subject to Section 9(j), the Directors are agents of the Company for the purpose of the Company’s business, and the actions of the Directors taken in accordance with such powers set forth in this Agreement shall bind the Company.
