(c)                      At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Debentures executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a written order of the Company for the authentication and delivery of such Debentures signed by its Chief Executive Officer, President or any Vice President and its Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer, and the Trustee in accordance with such written order shall authenticate and deliver such Debentures.

(d)                     In authenticating such Debentures and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Debentures, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 9.1) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the form and terms thereof have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture.

(e)                      The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Debentures if the issue of such Debentures pursuant to this Indenture shall affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Debentures and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner that is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

Section 2.6.                                Registration of Transfer and Exchange.  (a) Debentures may be exchanged upon presentation thereof at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose in the State of Delaware, or at the office of the Debenture Registrar, for other Debentures and for a like aggregate principal amount in denominations of integral multiples of $10, upon payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in relation thereto, all as provided in this Section 2.7.  In respect of any Debentures so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in exchange therefor the Debenture or Debentures that the Debentureholder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive, bearing numbers not contemporaneously outstanding.

(b)                     The Company shall keep, or cause to be kept, at its office or agency designated for such purpose in the State of Delaware, or at the office of the Debenture Registrar, or such other location designated by the Company a register or registers (herein referred to as the “Debenture Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the Debenture Registrar (as defined below) may prescribe, the Company shall register the Debentures and the transfers of Debentures as provided in this Article II and which at all reasonable times shall be open for inspection by the Trustee.  The registrar for the purpose of registering Debentures and transfer of Debentures as herein provided shall initially be the Trustee and thereafter as may be appointed by the Company as authorized by Board Resolution (the “Debenture Registrar”).  Upon surrender for transfer of any Debenture at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose, the Company shall execute, the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Debenture or Debentures for a like aggregate principal amount.  All Debentures presented or surrendered for exchange or registration of transfer, as provided in this Section 2.7, shall be accompanied (if so required by the Company or the Debenture Registrar) by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company or the Debenture Registrar, duly executed by the registered holder or by such holder’s duly authorized attorney in writing.

13

(c)                      No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Debentures, or issue of new Debentures in case of partial redemption, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in relation thereto, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.7, Section 3.5(b) and Section 11.4 not involving any transfer.

(d)                     The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, exchange or register the transfer of any Debentures during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of less than all the Outstanding Debentures and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing; nor (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Debentures or portions thereof called for redemption.

(e)                      Debentures may only be transferred, in whole or in part, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Indenture.  Any transfer or purported transfer of any Debenture not made in accordance with this Indenture shall be null and void.

Section 2.7.                                Temporary Debentures.  Pending the preparation of definitive Debentures, the Company may execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Debentures (printed, lithographed, or typewritten).  Such temporary Debentures shall be substantially in the form of the definitive Debentures in lieu of which they are issued, but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Debentures, all as may be determined by the Company.  Every temporary Debenture shall be executed by the Company and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Debentures.  Without unnecessary delay, the Company shall execute and shall furnish definitive Debentures and thereupon any or all temporary Debentures may be surrendered in exchange therefor (without charge to the holders), at the office or agency of the Company designated for the purpose and the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in exchange for such temporary Debentures an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Debentures, unless the Company advises the Trustee to the effect that definitive Debentures need not be authenticated and furnished until further notice from the Company.  Until so exchanged, the temporary Debentures shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Debentures authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 2.8.                                Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Debentures.  (a) In case any temporary or definitive Debenture shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company (subject to the next succeeding sentence) shall execute, and upon the Company’s request the Trustee (subject as aforesaid) shall authenticate and deliver, a new Debenture bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Debenture, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Debenture so destroyed, lost, stolen or mutilated.  In every case the applicant for a substituted Debenture shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company and the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of the applicant’s Debenture and of the ownership thereof.  The Trustee shall authenticate any such substituted ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and deliver the same upon the written request or authorization of the Chief

14

Executive Officer, President or any Vice President and the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer of the Company.  Upon the issuance of any substituted Debenture, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.  In case any Debenture that has matured or is about to mature shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, instead of issuing a substitute Debenture, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Debenture) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as they may require to save them harmless, and, in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to the satisfaction of the Company and the Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such Debenture and of the ownership thereof.

(b)                     Every replacement Debenture issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.8 shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debenture shall be found at any time, or be enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Debentures duly issued hereunder.  All Debentures shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debentures, and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) any and all other rights or remedies, notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.

Section 2.9.                                Cancellation.  All Debentures surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption, exchange or registration of transfer shall, if surrendered to the Company or any Paying Agent, be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be canceled by it, and no Debentures shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly required or permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture.  On request of the Company at the time of such surrender, the Trustee shall deliver to the Company canceled Debentures held by the Trustee.  In the absence of such request the Trustee may dispose of canceled Debentures in accordance with its standard procedures and deliver a certificate of disposition to the Company.  If the Company shall otherwise acquire any of the Debentures, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Debentures unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.10.                         Benefit of Indenture.  Nothing in this Indenture or in the Debentures, express or implied, shall give or be construed to give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and the holders of the Debentures (and, with respect to the provisions of Article XVI, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Indenture, or under any covenant, condition or provision herein contained; all such covenants, conditions and provisions being for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and of the holders of the Debentures (and, with respect to the provisions of Article XVI, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness).

15

Section 2.11.                         Authenticating Agent.  (a) So long as any of the Debentures remain Outstanding there may be an Authenticating Agent for any or all such Debentures, which Authenticating Agent the Trustee shall have the right to appoint.  Said Authenticating Agent shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Debentures issued upon exchange, transfer or partial redemption thereof, and Debentures so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder.  All references in this Indenture to the authentication of Debentures by the Trustee shall be deemed to include authentication by an Authenticating Agent.  Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall be a corporation that has a combined capital and surplus, as most recently reported or determined by it, sufficient under the laws of any jurisdiction under which it is organized or in which it is doing business to conduct a trust business, and that is otherwise authorized under such laws to conduct such business and is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities.  If at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with these provisions, it shall resign immediately.

(b)                     Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Company.  The Trustee may at any time (and upon request by the Company shall) terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company.  Upon resignation, termination or cessation of eligibility of any Authenticating Agent, the Trustee may appoint an eligible successor Authenticating Agent acceptable to the Company.  Any successor Authenticating Agent, upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder, shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent pursuant hereto.

Article III

REDEMPTION OF DEBENTURES

Section 3.1.                                Redemption.  Subject to the Company having received prior approval of the Federal Reserve, if then required under the applicable capital guidelines, policies or regulations of the Federal Reserve, the Company may redeem the Debentures issued hereunder on and after the dates set forth in and in accordance with the terms of this Article III.

Section 3.2.                                Special Event Redemption.  Subject to the Company having received the prior approval of the Federal Reserve, if then required under the applicable capital guidelines, policies or regulations of the Federal Reserve, if a Special Event has occurred and is continuing, then, notwithstanding Section 3.3(a) but subject to Section 3.3(b), the Company shall have the right upon not less than 30 days’ nor more than 60 days’ notice to the holders of the Debentures to redeem the Debentures, in whole but not in part, for cash within 180 days following the occurrence of such Special Event (the “180-Day Period”) at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of such redemption (the “Redemption Price”), provided that if at the time there is available to the Company the opportunity to eliminate, within the 180-Day Period, a Tax Event by taking

16

some ministerial action (a “Ministerial Action”), such as filing a form or making an election, or pursuing some other similar reasonable measure which has no adverse effect on the Company, the Trust or the holders of the Trust Securities issued by the Trust, the Company shall pursue such Ministerial Action in lieu of redemption, and, provided further, that the Company shall have no right to redeem the Debentures pursuant to this Section 3.2 while it is pursuing any Ministerial Action pursuant to its obligations hereunder, and, provided further, that, if it is determined that the taking of a Ministerial Action would not eliminate the Tax Event within the 180-Day Period, the Company’s right to redeem the Debentures pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall be restored and it shall have no further obligations to pursue the Ministerial Action.  The Redemption Price shall be paid prior to 12:00 noon, New York time, on the date of such redemption or such earlier time as the Company determines, provided that the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount sufficient to pay the Redemption Price by 10:00 a.m., New York time, on the date such Redemption Price is to be paid.

Section 3.3.                                Optional Redemption by the Company.  (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 3.3(c), except as otherwise may be specified in this Indenture, the Company shall have the right to redeem the Debentures, in whole or in part, from time to time, on or after               , 2013, at the Redemption Price.  Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.3(a) shall be made upon not less than 30 days’ nor more than 60 days’ notice to the holder of the Debentures.  If the Debentures are only partially redeemed pursuant to this Section 3.3(a), the Debentures shall be redeemed pro rata or by lot or in such other manner as the Trustee shall deem appropriate and fair in its discretion.  The Redemption Price shall be paid prior to 12:00 noon, New York time, on the date of such redemption or at such earlier time as the Company determines, provided that the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount sufficient to pay the Redemption Price by 10:00 a.m., New York time, on the date such Redemption Price is to be paid.

(b)                     Subject to the provisions of Section 3.3(c), the Company shall have the right to redeem the Debentures at any time and from time to time in a principal amount equal to the Liquidation Amount of any Preferred Securities purchased and beneficially owned by the Company, plus an additional principal amount of Debentures equal to the Liquidation Amount of that number of Common Securities that bears the same proportion to the total number of Common Securities then outstanding as the number of Preferred Securities to be redeemed bears to the total number of Preferred Securities then outstanding.  Such Debentures shall be redeemed pursuant to this Section 3.3(b) only in exchange for and upon surrender by the Company to the Property Trustee of the Preferred Securities and a proportionate amount of Common Securities, whereupon the Property Trustee shall cancel the Preferred Securities and Common Securities so surrendered and a Like Amount of Debentures shall be extinguished by the Trustee and shall no longer be deemed Outstanding.

(c)                      If a partial redemption of the Debentures would result in the delisting of the Preferred Securities issued by the Trust from the NASDAQ Stock Market or any other national securities exchange or other organization on which the Preferred Securities are then listed or quoted, the Company shall not be permitted to effect such partial redemption and may only redeem the Debentures in whole.

17

Section 3.4.                                Notice of Redemption.  (a) Except in the case of a redemption pursuant to Section 3.3(b), in case the Company shall desire to exercise such right to redeem all or, as the case may be, a portion of the Debentures in accordance with the right reserved so to do, the Company shall, or shall cause the Trustee to upon receipt of 45 days’ written notice from the Company (which notice shall, in the event of a partial redemption, include a representation to the effect that such partial redemption will not result in the delisting of the Preferred Securities as described in Section 3.3(c) above), give notice of such redemption to holders of the Debentures to be redeemed by mailing, first class postage prepaid, a notice of such redemption not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption to such holders at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the Debenture Register unless a shorter period is specified in the Debentures to be redeemed.  Any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the registered holder receives the notice.  In any case, failure duly to give such notice to the holder of any Debenture designated for redemption in whole or in part, or any defect in the notice, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Debentures.  In the case of any redemption of Debentures prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Debentures or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with any such restriction.  Each such notice of redemption shall specify the date fixed for redemption and the Redemption Price and shall state that payment of the Redemption Price shall be made at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York or at the Corporate Trust Office, upon presentation and surrender of such Debentures, that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption shall be paid as specified in said notice and that from and after said date interest shall cease to accrue.  If less than all the Debentures are to be redeemed, the notice to the holders of the Debentures shall specify the particular Debentures to be redeemed.  If the Debentures are to be redeemed in part only, the notice shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that on and after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Debenture, a new Debenture or Debentures in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof shall be issued.

(b)                     Except in the case of a redemption pursuant to Section 3.3(b), if less than all the Debentures are to be redeemed, the Company shall give the Trustee at least 45 days’ written notice in advance of the date fixed for redemption as to the aggregate principal amount of Debentures to be redeemed, and thereupon the Trustee shall select, pro rata or by lot or in such other manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair in its discretion, the portion or portions (equal to $10 or any integral multiple thereof) of the Debentures to be redeemed and shall thereafter promptly notify the Company in writing of the numbers of the Debentures to be redeemed, in whole or in part.  The Company may, if and whenever it shall so elect pursuant to the terms hereof, by delivery of instructions signed on its behalf by its Chief Executive Officer, President or any Vice President, instruct the Trustee or any Paying Agent to call all or any part of the Debentures for redemption and to give notice of redemption in the manner set forth in this Section 3.4, such notice to be in the name of the Company or its own name as the Trustee or such Paying Agent may deem advisable.  In any case in which notice of redemption is to be given by the Trustee or any such Paying Agent, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to, or permit to remain with, the Trustee or such Paying Agent, as the case may be, such Debenture Register, transfer books or other records, or suitable copies or extracts therefrom, sufficient to

18

enable the Trustee or such Paying Agent to give any notice by mail that may be required under the provisions of this Section 3.4.

Section 3.5.                                Payment upon Redemption.  (a) If the giving of notice of redemption shall have been completed as above provided, the Debentures or portions of Debentures to be redeemed specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable Redemption Price, and interest on such Debentures or portions of Debentures shall cease to accrue on and after the date fixed for redemption, unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Redemption Price with respect to any such Debenture or portion thereof.  On presentation and surrender of such Debentures on or after the date fixed for redemption at the place of payment specified in the notice, said Debentures shall be paid and redeemed at the Redemption Price (but if the date fixed for redemption is an Interest Payment Date, the interest installment payable on such date shall be payable to the registered holder at the close of business on the applicable record date pursuant to Section 3.3).

(b)                     Upon presentation of any Debenture that is to be redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and the office or agency where the Debenture is presented shall deliver to the holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Debenture of authorized denomination in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Debenture so presented.

Section 3.6.                                No Sinking Fund.  The Debentures are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.

Article IV

EXTENSION OF INTEREST PAYMENT PERIOD

Section 4.1.                                Extension of Interest Payment Period.  So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall have the right, at any time and from time to time during the term of the Debentures, to defer payments of interest by extending the interest payment period of such Debentures for a period not exceeding 20 consecutive quarters (the “Extension Period”), during which Extension Period no interest shall be due and payable, provided that no Extension Period may extend beyond the Maturity Date or end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest, the payment of which has been deferred because of the extension of the interest payment period pursuant to this Section 4.1, shall bear interest thereon at the Coupon Rate compounded quarterly for each quarter of the Extension Period (“Compounded Interest”).  At the end of the Extension Period, the Company shall calculate (and deliver such calculation to the Trustee) and pay all interest accrued and unpaid on the Debentures, including any Additional Payments and Compounded Interest (together, “Deferred Payments”) that shall be payable to the holders of the Debentures in whose names the Debentures are registered in the Debenture Register on the first record date after the end of the Extension Period.  Before the termination of any Extension Period, the Company may further extend such period so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, provided that such period together with all such further extensions thereof shall not

19

exceed 20 consecutive quarters, or extend beyond the Maturity Date of the Debentures or end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date.  Upon the termination of any Extension Period and upon the payment of all Deferred Payments then due, the Company may commence a new Extension Period, subject to the foregoing requirements.  No interest shall be due and payable during an Extension Period, except at the end thereof, but the Company may prepay at any time all or any portion of the interest accrued during an Extension Period.

Section 4.2.                                Notice of Extension.  (a) If the Property Trustee is the only registered holder of the Debentures at the time the Company selects an Extension Period, the Company shall give written notice to the Administrative Trustees, the Property Trustee and the Trustee of its selection of such Extension Period two Business Days before the earlier of (i) the next succeeding date on which Distributions on the Trust Securities issued by the Trust are payable; or (ii) the date the Trust is required to give notice of the record date, or the date such Distributions are payable, to the NASDAQ Stock Market or other applicable self-regulatory organization or to holders of the Preferred Securities issued by the Trust, but in any event at least one Business Day before such record date.

(b)                     If the Property Trustee is not the only holder of the Debentures at the time the Company selects an Extension Period, the Company shall give the holders of the Debentures and the Trustee written notice of its selection of such Extension Period at least two Business Days before the earlier of (i) the next succeeding Interest Payment Date; or (ii) the date the Company is required to give notice of the record or payment date of such interest payment to the NASDAQ Stock Market or other applicable self-regulatory organization or to holders of the Debentures.

(c)                      The quarter in which any notice is given pursuant to paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Section 4.2 shall be counted as one of the 20 quarters permitted in the maximum Extension Period permitted under Section 4.1.

Section 4.3.                                Limitation on Transactions.  If (a) the Company shall exercise its right to defer payment of interest as provided in Section 4.1 or (b) there shall have occurred any Event of Default, then (i) neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall declare or pay any dividend on, make any distributions with respect to, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of its capital stock (other than (A) dividends or distributions in common stock of the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, or any declaration of a non-cash dividend in connection with the implementation of a shareholder rights plan, or the issuance of stock under any such plan in the future, or the redemption or repurchase of any such rights pursuant thereto, (B) purchases of common stock of the Company related to the rights under any of the Company’s benefit plans for its directors, officers or employees, (C) as a result of a reclassification of its capital stock for another class of its capital stock or (D) dividends payable by such Subsidiary to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries); (ii) the Company shall not make any payment of interest, principal or premium, if any, or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities issued by the Company which rank pari passu with or junior to the Debentures or make any guarantee payments with respect to any guarantee by the Company of the debt securities of any Subsidiary of the Company if such guarantee ranks pari passu with or junior to the Debentures; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing

20

the Company may make payments pursuant to its obligations under the Preferred Securities Guarantee; and (iii) the Company shall not redeem, purchase or acquire less than all of the Outstanding Debentures or any of the Preferred Securities.

Article V

PARTICULAR COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY

Section 5.1.                                Payment of Principal and Interest.  The Company shall duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of and interest on the Debentures at the time and place and in the manner provided herein.  Each such payment of the principal of and interest on the Debentures shall relate only to the Debentures, shall not be combined with any other payment of the principal of or interest on any other obligation of the Company, and shall be clearly and unmistakably identified as pertaining to the Debentures.

Section 5.2.                                Maintenance of Agency.  So long as any of the Debentures remain Outstanding, the Company shall maintain, or shall cause to be maintained, an office or agency in the State of Delaware, and at such other location or locations as may be designated as provided in this Section 5.2, where (a) Debentures may be presented for payment; (b) Debentures may be presented as hereinabove authorized for registration of transfer and exchange; and (c) notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Debentures and this Indenture may be given or served, such designation to continue with respect to such office or agency until the Company shall, by written notice signed by its President or a Vice President and delivered to the Trustee, designate some other office or agency for such purposes or any of them.  If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, notices and demands.  In addition to any such office or agency, the Company may from time to time designate one or more offices or agencies outside of the State of Delaware, where the Debentures may be presented for registration or transfer and for exchange in the manner provided herein, and the Company may from time to time rescind such designation as the Company may deem desirable or expedient; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain any such office or agency in the State of Delaware, for the purposes above mentioned.  The Company shall give the Trustee prompt written notice of any such designation or rescission thereof.

Section 5.3.                                Paying Agents.  (a) The Trustee shall be the initial Paying Agent.  If the Company shall appoint one or more Paying Agents for the Debentures, other than the Trustee, the Company shall cause each such Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 5.3:

(i)                                                 that it shall hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of or interest on the Debentures (whether such sums have been paid to it

21

by the Company or by any other obligor of such Debentures) in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto;

(ii)                                              that it shall give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Company (or by any other obligor of such Debentures) to make any payment of the principal of or interest on the Debentures when the same shall be due and payable;

(iii)                                           that it shall, at any time during the continuance of any failure referred to in the preceding paragraph (a)(ii) above, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent; and

(iv)                                          that it shall perform all other duties of Paying Agent as set forth in this Indenture.

(b)                     If the Company shall act as its own Paying Agent with respect to the Debentures, it shall on or before each due date of the principal of or interest on such Debentures, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay such principal or interest so becoming due on the Debentures until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and shall promptly notify the Trustee of such action, or any failure (by it or any other obligor on such Debentures) to take such action.  Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for the Debentures, it shall, prior to each due date of the principal of or interest on any Debentures, deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of this action or failure so to act.

(c)                      Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.3 to the contrary, (i) the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section 5.3 is subject to the provisions of Section 13.3 and 13.4; and (ii) the Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same terms and conditions as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

Section 5.4.                                Appointment to Fill Vacancy in Office of the Trustee.  The Company, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, shall appoint, in the manner provided in Section 9.11, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder.

Section 5.5.                                Compliance with Consolidation Provisions.  The Company shall not, while any of the Debentures remain Outstanding, consolidate with, or merge into, or merge into

(i)                                                 the Company defaults in the payment of any installment of interest upon any of the Debentures, as and when the same shall become due and payable, and such default continues for a period of 30 days; provided, however, that a valid extension of an interest payment period by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Indenture shall not constitute a default in the payment of interest for this purpose;

(ii)                                              the Company defaults in the payment of the principal on the Debentures as and when the same shall become due and payable whether at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or otherwise;

(b)                     In each and every such case referred to in items (i) through (vi) of Section 7.1(a), unless the principal of all the Debentures shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures then Outstanding hereunder, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by such Debentureholders) may declare the principal of all the Debentures to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, notwithstanding anything contained in this Indenture or in the Debentures.

(c)                      At any time after the principal of the Debentures shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the money due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures then Outstanding hereunder, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:  (i) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all the Debentures and the principal of any and all Debentures that shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest upon such principal, and, to the extent that such payment is enforceable under applicable law, upon overdue installments of interest, at the rate per annum expressed in the Debentures to the date of such payment or deposit) and the amount payable to the Trustee under Section 9.7; and (ii) any and all Events of Default under this Indenture, other than the nonpayment of principal on Debentures that shall not have become due by their terms, shall have been remedied or waived as provided in Section 7.6.  No such rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 7.2.                                Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by the Trustee.  (a) The Company covenants that (i) in case it shall default in the payment of any installment of interest on any of the Debentures, and such default shall have continued for a period of 30 days; or (ii) in case it shall default in the payment of the principal of any of the Debentures when the same shall have become due and payable, whether upon maturity of the Debentures or upon redemption or upon declaration or otherwise, then, upon demand of the Trustee, the Company shall pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the holders of the Debentures, the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable on all such Debentures for principal or interest, or both, as the case may be, with interest upon the overdue principal; and (to the extent that payment of

27

such interest is enforceable under applicable law and, if the Debentures are held by the Trust or a trustee of the Trust, without duplication of any other amounts paid by the Trust or trustee in respect thereof) upon overdue installments of interest at the rate per annum expressed in the Debentures; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, and the amount payable to the Trustee under Section 9.7.

(b)                     If the Company shall fail to pay such amounts set forth in Section 7.2(a) forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Company or other obligor upon the Debentures and collect the money adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or other obligor upon the Debentures, wherever situated.

(c)                      In case of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, readjustment, arrangement, composition or judicial proceedings affecting the Company, the Trust, or the creditors or property of either, the Trustee shall have power to intervene in such proceedings and take any action therein that may be permitted by the court and shall (except as may be otherwise provided by law) be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other papers and documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and of the holders of the Debentures allowed for the entire amount due and payable by the Company under this Indenture at the date of institution of such proceedings and for any additional amount that may become due and payable by the Company after such date, and to collect and receive any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim, and to distribute the same after the deduction of the amount payable to the Trustee under Section 9.7; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby authorized by each of the holders of the Debentures to make such payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to such Debentureholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it under Section 9.7.

(d)                     All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the terms established with respect to the Debentures, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of such Debentures, or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for payment to the Trustee of any amounts due under Section 9.7, be for the ratable benefit of the holders of the Debentures.  In case of an Event of Default hereunder which is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Debentureholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting

28

the Debentures or the rights of any holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Debentureholder in any such proceeding.

Section 7.3.                                Application of Money Collected.  Any money or other assets collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article VII with respect to the Debentures shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money or other assets on account of principal or interest, upon presentation of the Debentures, and notation thereon of the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

(b)                     Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary or any other provisions of this Indenture, the right of any holder of the Debentures to receive payment of the principal of and interest on the Debentures, as therein provided, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Debenture (or in the case of redemption, on the redemption date), or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates or redemption date, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such holder and by accepting a Debenture hereunder it is expressly understood, intended and covenanted by the taker and holder of every Debenture with every other such taker and holder and the Trustee that no one or more holders of

29

the Debentures shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the holders of any other of such Debentures, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all holders of the Debentures.  For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 7.4, each and every Debentureholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

(b)                     No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any holder of any of the Debentures to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 7.4, every power and remedy given by this Article VII or by law to the Trustee or the Debentureholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Debentureholders.

Section 7.6.                                Control by the Debentureholders.  The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures at the time Outstanding, determined in accordance with Section 10.4, shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee; provided, however, that such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture.  Subject to the provisions of Section 9.1, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability.  The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures at the time Outstanding affected thereby, determined in accordance with Section 10.4, may on behalf of the holders of all of the Debentures waive any past default in the performance of any of the covenants contained herein and its consequences, except (i) a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any of the Debentures as and when the same shall become due by the terms of such Debentures otherwise than by acceleration (unless such default has been cured and a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of principal and interest has been deposited with the Trustee (in accordance with Section 7.1(c)); (ii) a default in the covenants contained in Section 5.7; or (iii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each Outstanding Debenture affected; provided, however, that if the Debentures are held by the Trust or a trustee of the Trust, such waiver or modification to such waiver shall not be effective until the holders of a majority in liquidation preference of Trust Securities of the Trust shall have consented to such waiver or modification to such waiver; provided further, that if the Debentures are held by the Trust or a

30

trustee of the Trust, and if the consent of the holder of each Outstanding Debenture is required, such waiver shall not be effective until each holder of the Trust Securities of the Trust shall have consented to such waiver.  Upon any such waiver, the default covered thereby shall be deemed to be cured for all purposes of this Indenture and the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Debentures shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 7.7.                                Undertaking to Pay Costs.  All parties to this Indenture agree, and each holder of any Debentures by such holder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as the Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 7.7 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Debentureholder, or group of the Debentureholders holding more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debentures, or to any suit instituted by any Debentureholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on the Debentures, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Debenture or established pursuant to this Indenture.

Section 7.8.                                Direct Action; Right of Set-Off.  In the event that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and such event is attributable to the failure of the Company to pay interest on or principal of the Debentures on an Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as applicable, then a holder of Preferred Securities may institute a legal proceeding directly against the Company for enforcement of payment to such holder of the principal of or interest on such Debentures having a principal amount equal to the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities of such holders (a “Direct Action”).  In connection with such Direct Action, the Company will have a right of set-off under this Indenture to the extent of any payment actually made by the Company to such holder of the Preferred Securities with respect to such Direct Action.

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

Section 9.1.                                Certain Duties and Responsibilities of the Trustee.  (a) The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, shall undertake to perform with respect to the Debentures such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee.  In case an Event of Default has occurred that has not been cured or waived, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

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

(i)                                                 prior to the occurrence of an 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 Trustee shall with respect to the Debentures be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to the Debentures except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

(B)                                in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may with respect to the Debentures 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 Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions that by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture;

32

(ii)                                                the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

(iv)                                            none of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it under the terms of this Indenture or adequate indemnity against such risk is not reasonably assured to it.

Section 9.3.                                Certain Rights of the Trustee.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.1:

(a)                      The Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, security or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

(b)                     Any request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution or an instrument signed in the name of the Company by its President or any Vice President and by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer thereof (unless other evidence in respect thereof is specifically prescribed herein);

33

(c)                      The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Default or an Event of Default, other than an Event of Default specified in Section 7.1(a)(i) or (ii), unless and until it receives written notification of such Event of Default from the Company or by holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures at the time Outstanding;

(d)                     The Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;

(e)                      The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Debentureholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Debentureholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (that is continuing and has not been cured or waived) to exercise with respect to the Debentures such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and to use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs;

(f)                        The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture;

(g)                     The 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, security, or other papers or documents, unless requested in writing so to do by the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debentures (determined as provided in Section 10.4); provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such costs, expenses or liabilities as a condition to so proceeding, and the reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Company or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be repaid by the Company upon demand; and

(h)                     The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder.

Section 9.4.                                The Trustee not Responsible for Recitals, Etc.  (a) The Recitals contained herein and in the Debentures shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same.

34

(b)                       The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Debentures.

(c)                        The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of any of the Debentures or of the proceeds of such Debentures, or for the use or application of any money paid over by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture, or for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee.

Section 9.5.                                May Hold the Debentures.  The Trustee or any Paying Agent or Debenture Registrar for the Debentures, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of the Debentures with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent or Debenture Registrar.

Section 9.6.                                Money Held in Trust.  Subject to the provisions of Section 13.5, all money received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.  The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except such as it may agree with the Company to pay thereon.

Section 9.7.                                Compensation and Reimbursement.  (a) The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, such reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust), as the Company and the Trustee may from time to time agree in writing, for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee, and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Company shall pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith.  The Company also covenants to indemnify the Trustee (and its officers, agents, directors and employees) for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in the premises.

(b)                     The obligations of the Company under this Section 9.7 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder.  Such additional indebtedness shall be secured by a lien prior to that of the Debentures upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the holders of particular Debentures.

Section 9.8.                                Reliance on Officers’ Certificate.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.1, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall

35

deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering or omitting to take any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee and such certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof.

Section 9.9.                                Disqualification; Conflicting Interests.  If the Trustee has or shall acquire any “conflicting interest” within the meaning of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee and the Company shall in all respects comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

Section 9.10.                         Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.  There shall at all times be a Trustee with respect to the Debentures issued hereunder which shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or any state or territory thereof or of the District of Columbia, or a corporation or other Person permitted to act as trustee by the Commission, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, and subject to supervision or examination by federal, state, territorial, or District of Columbia authority.  If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 9.10, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.  The Company may not, nor may any Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Company, serve as Trustee.  In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.10, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 9.11.

36

(b)                     In case at any time any one of the following shall occur:

(i)                                                 the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section 9.9 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Debentureholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Debenture or Debentures for at least six months; or

(ii)                                              the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.10 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Debentureholder; or

(iii)                                           the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or commence a voluntary bankruptcy proceeding, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or consented to, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation;

then, in any such case, the Company may remove the Trustee with respect to all Debentures and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of Section 9.10, unless the Trustee’s duty to resign is stayed as provided herein, any Debentureholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Debenture or Debentures for at least six months may, on behalf of that holder and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee.  Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.

(c)                      The holders of the Debentures may not remove the Trustee.

(d)                     Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee with respect to the Debentures pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 9.11 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 9.12.

(e)                      Any successor trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 9.11 may be appointed with respect to the Debentures, and at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Debentures.

Section 9.12.                         Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.  (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor trustee with respect to the Debentures, every successor trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor 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 the request of the Company or the successor trustee, such retiring Trustee shall,

37

upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights, powers, and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

(b)                     Upon request of any successor trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section 9.12.

(c)                      No successor trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article IX.

(d)                     Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 9.12, the Company shall transmit notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Debentureholders, as their names and addresses appear upon the Debenture Register.  If the Company fails to transmit such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be transmitted at the expense of the Company.

Section 9.13.                         Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.  Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 9.9 and eligible under the provisions of Section 9.10, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.  In case any Debentures shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Debentures so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Debentures.

Section 9.14.                         Preferential Collection of Claims against the Company.  The Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, excluding any creditor relationship described in Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.  A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act to the extent included therein.

Article X

CONCERNING THE DEBENTUREHOLDERS

Section 10.1.                         Evidence of Action by the Holders.  (a) Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the holders of a majority or specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving

38

of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action the holders of such majority or specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by such holders of Debentures in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing.

(b)                     If the Company shall solicit from the Debentureholders any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, the Company may, at its option, as evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Debentureholders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so.  If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action may be given before or after the record date, but only the Debentureholders of record at the close of business on the record date shall be deemed to be Debentureholders for the purposes of determining whether Debentureholders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Debentures have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, and for that purpose the Outstanding Debentures shall be computed as of the record date; provided, however, that no such authorization, agreement or consent by such Debentureholders on the record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six (6) months after the record date.

Section 10.2.                         Proof of Execution by the Debentureholders.  Subject to the provisions of Section 9.1, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Debentureholder (such proof shall not require notarization) or such Debentureholder’s agent or proxy and proof of the holding by any Person of any of the Debentures shall be sufficient if made in the following manner:

(a)                      The fact and date of the execution by any such Person of any instrument may be proved in any reasonable manner acceptable to the Trustee.

(b)                     The ownership of Debentures shall be proved by the Debenture Register of such Debentures or by a certificate of the Debenture Registrar thereof.

(c)                      The Trustee may require such additional proof of any matter referred to in this Section 10.2 as it shall deem necessary.

Section 10.3.                         Who May be Deemed Owners.  Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of any Debenture, the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Authenticating Agent and any Debenture Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name such Debenture shall be registered upon the books of the Company as the absolute owner of such Debenture (whether or not such Debenture shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing thereon made by anyone other than the Debenture Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and interest on such Debenture (subject to Section 2.3) and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any Paying Agent nor any Authenticating Agent nor any Debenture Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

39

Section 10.4.                         Certain Debentures Owned by Company Disregarded.  In determining whether the holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of the Debentures have concurred in any direction, consent or waiver under this Indenture, the Debentures that are owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Debentures or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under common control with the Company or any other obligor on the Debentures shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination, except that (a) for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver, only Debentures that the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded; and (b) for purposes of this Section 10.4, the Trust shall be deemed not to be controlled by the Company.  The Debentures so owned that have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding for the purposes of this Section 10.4, if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Debentures and that the pledgee is not a Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any such other obligor.  In case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee.

Section 10.5.                         Actions Binding on the Future Debentureholders.  At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 10.1, of the taking of any action by the holders of the majority or percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any holder of a Debenture that is shown by the evidence to be included in the Debentures the holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee, and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 10.2, revoke such action so far as concerns such Debenture.  Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by the holder of any Debenture shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders and owners of such Debenture, and of any Debenture issued in exchange therefor, on registration of transfer thereof or in place thereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Debenture.  Any action taken by the holders of the majority or percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures specified in this Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Company, the Trustee and the holders of all the Debentures.

Article XI

41

reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon; or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Debentures, the holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture; provided further, that if the Debentures are held by the Trust or a trustee of the Trust, such supplemental indenture shall not be effective until the holders of a majority in liquidation preference of Trust Securities of the Trust shall have consented to such supplemental indenture; provided further, that if the Debentures are held by the Trust or a trustee of the Trust and if the consent of the holder of each Outstanding Debenture is required, such supplemental indenture shall not be effective until each holder of the Trust Securities of the Trust shall have consented to such supplemental indenture.  It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Debentureholders affected thereby under this Section 11.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.

Section 11.3.                         Effect of Supplemental Indentures.  Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article XI, this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Company and the holders of Debentures shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.

42

(b)                     Each certificate or opinion of the Company provided for in this Indenture and delivered to the Trustee with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant in this Indenture shall include: (i) a statement that the Person making such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition; (ii) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based; (iii) a statement that, in the opinion of such Person, he or she has made such examination or investigation as, in the opinion of such Person, is necessary to enable him or her to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and (iv) a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of such Person, such condition or covenant has been complied with; provided, however, that each such certificate shall comply with the provisions of Section 314 of the Trust Indenture Act.

Section 15.9.                         Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.  This Indenture is subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act that are required to be part of this Indenture and shall, to

47

the extent applicable, be governed by such provisions.  If and to the extent that any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with the duties imposed by Sections 310 to 317, inclusive, of the Trust Indenture Act, such imposed duties shall control.

Section 15.10.                  Counterparts.  This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

Section 15.11.                  Separability.  In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Indenture or in the Debentures shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Indenture or of the Debentures, but this Indenture and the Debentures shall be construed as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein or therein.

Section 15.12.                  Assignment.  The Company shall have the right at all times to assign any of its respective rights or obligations under this Indenture to a direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company, provided that, in the event of any such assignment, the Company shall remain liable for all such obligations.  Subject to the foregoing, this Indenture is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the parties thereto and their respective successors and assigns.  This Indenture may not otherwise be assigned by the parties thereto.

Section 15.13.                  Acknowledgment of Rights; Right of Setoff.  (a) The Company acknowledges that, with respect to any Debentures held by the Trust or a trustee of the Trust, if the Property Trustee fails to enforce its rights under this Indenture as the holder of the Debentures held as the assets of the Trust, any holder of Preferred Securities may institute legal proceedings directly against the Company to enforce such Property Trustee’s rights under this Indenture without first instituting any legal proceedings against such Property Trustee or any other person or entity.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, and notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.4(a) hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and such event is attributable to the failure of the Company to pay principal or interest on the Debentures on the date such principal or interest is otherwise payable (or in the case of redemption, on the redemption date), the Company acknowledges that a holder of Preferred Securities may directly institute a proceeding for enforcement of payment to such holder of the principal of or interest on the Debentures having a principal amount equal to the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities of such holder on or after the respective due date specified in the Debentures.

(b)                     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the Company shall have the right to setoff any payment it is otherwise required to make hereunder in respect of any Trust Securities to the extent that the Company has previously made, or is concurrently making, a payment to the holder of such Trust Securities under the Preferred Securities Guarantee or in connection with a proceeding for enforcement of payment of the principal of or interest on the Debentures directly brought by holders of any Trust Securities.

Article XVI

SUBORDINATION OF THE DEBENTURE

Section 16.1.                         Agreement to Subordinate.  The Company covenants and agrees, and each holder of the Debentures issued hereunder by such holder’s acceptance thereof likewise covenants and agrees, that all the Debentures shall be issued subject to the provisions of this Article XVI; and each holder of a Debenture, whether upon original issue or upon transfer or assignment thereof, accepts and agrees to be bound by such provisions.  The payment by the Company of the principal of and interest on all the Debentures issued hereunder shall, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt, Subordinated Debt and Additional Senior Obligations of the Company (collectively, “Senior Indebtedness”) to the extent provided herein, whether outstanding at the date of this Indenture or thereafter incurred.  No provision of this Article XVI shall prevent the occurrence of any default or Event of Default hereunder.  In no event shall the Debentures be subordinate to the Company’s: (i) trade accounts payable; (ii) accrued liabilities arising in the ordinary course of business; or (iii) debt to any employee of the Company.

Section 16.2.                         Default on Senior Indebtedness.  In the event and during the continuation of any default by the Company in the payment of principal, premium, interest or any other payment due on any Senior Indebtedness, or in the event that the maturity of any Senior Indebtedness has been accelerated because of a default, then, in either case, no payment shall be made by the Company with respect to the principal (including redemption payments) of or interest on the Debentures.  In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment shall be received by the Trustee when such payment is prohibited by the preceding sentence of this Section 16.2, such payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their respective representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, but only to the extent that the holders of the Senior Indebtedness (or their representative or representatives or a trustee) notify the Trustee in writing within 90 days of such payment of the amounts then due and owing on the Senior Indebtedness and only the amounts specified in such notice to the Trustee shall be paid to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness.

Section 16.3.                         Liquidation; Dissolution; Bankruptcy.  (a) Upon any payment by the Company or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to creditors upon any dissolution or winding-up or liquidation or reorganization of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other proceedings, all amounts due upon all Senior Indebtedness shall first be paid in full, or payment thereof provided for in money in accordance with its terms, before any payment is made by the Company on account of the principal or interest on the Debentures; and upon any such dissolution or winding-up or liquidation or reorganization, any payment by the Company, or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the holders of the Debentures or the Trustee would be entitled to receive from the Company, except for the provisions of this Article XVI, shall be paid by the

49

Company or by any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, or by the holders of the Debentures or by the Trustee under this Indenture if received by them or it, directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the respective amounts of Senior Indebtedness held by such holders, as calculated by the Company) or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, to the extent necessary to pay such Senior Indebtedness in full, in money or money’s worth, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, before any payment or distribution is made to the holders of the Debentures or to the Trustee.

(b)                     In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, prohibited by the foregoing, shall be received by the Trustee before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, or provision is made for such payment in money in accordance with its terms, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of and shall be paid over or delivered to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, as calculated by the Company, for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness, as the case may be, remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay such Senior Indebtedness in full in money in accordance with its terms, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the benefit of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.

(c)                      For purposes of this Article XVI, the words “cash, property or securities” shall not be deemed to include shares of stock of the Company as reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment, the payment of which is subordinated at least to the extent provided in this Article XVI with respect to the Debentures to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness, as the case may be, that may at the time be outstanding, provided that (i) such Senior Indebtedness is assumed by the new corporation, if any, resulting from any such reorganization or readjustment; and (ii) the rights of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness are not, without the consent of such holders, altered by such reorganization or readjustment.  The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company into, another corporation or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company following the conveyance or transfer of its property as an entirety, or substantially as an entirety, to another corporation upon the terms and conditions provided for in Article XII shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization for the purposes of this Section 16.3 if such other corporation shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, comply with the conditions stated in Article XII.  Nothing in Section 16.2 or in this Section 16.3 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 9.7.

Section 16.4.                         Subrogation.  (a) Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, the rights of the holders of the Debentures shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company, as the case may be, applicable to such Senior Indebtedness until the principal of and

50

interest on the Debentures shall be paid in full; and, for the purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness of any cash, property or securities to which the holders of the Debentures or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article XVI, and no payment over pursuant to the provisions of this Article XVI to or for the benefit of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness by holders of the Debentures or the Trustee, shall, as between the Company, its creditors (other than holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company), and the holders of the Debentures, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of such Senior Indebtedness.  It is understood that the provisions of this Article XVI are and are intended solely for the purposes of defining the relative rights of the holders of the Debentures, on the one hand, and the holders of such Senior Indebtedness on the other hand.

(b)                     Nothing contained in this Article XVI or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Debentures is intended to or shall impair, as between the Company, its creditors (other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness), and the holders of the Debentures, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the holders of the Debentures the principal of and interest on the Debentures as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the holders of the Debentures and creditors of the Company, as the case may be, other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, as the case may be, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Trustee or the holder of any Debenture from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article XVI of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company, as the case may be, received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

(c)                      Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article XVI, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Article IX, and the holders of the Debentures shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending, or a certificate of the receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidation trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the holders of the Debentures, for the purposes of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company, as the case may be, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article XVI.

Section 16.5.                         The Trustee to Effectuate Subordination.  Each holder of Debentures by such holder’s acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on such holder’s behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this Article XVI and appoints the Trustee such holder’s attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

Section 16.6.                         Notice by the Company.  (a) The Company shall give prompt written notice to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of any fact known to the Company that would prohibit the making of any payment of money to or by the Trustee in respect of the Debentures

51

pursuant to the provisions of this Article XVI.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article XVI or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment of money to or by the Trustee in respect of the Debentures pursuant to the provisions of this Article XVI, unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the Company or a holder or holders of Senior Indebtedness or from any trustee therefor; and before the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 9.1, shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided, however, that if the Trustee shall not have received the notice provided for in this Section 16.6 at least two Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any money may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of or interest on any Debenture), then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such money and to apply the same to the purposes for which they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary that may be received by it within two Business Days prior to such date.

(b)                     The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 9.1, shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing himself or herself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee on behalf of such holder) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of such Senior Indebtedness or a trustee on behalf of any such holder or holders.  In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of such Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article XVI, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of such Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article XVI, and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment.

Section 16.7.                         Rights of the Trustee; Holders of the Senior Indebtedness.  (a) The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article XVI in respect of any Senior Indebtedness at any time held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness, and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.  The Trustee’s right to compensation and reimbursement of expenses as set forth in Section 9.7 shall not be subject to the subordination provisions of Article XVI.

(b)                     With respect to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article XVI, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee.  The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness and, subject to the provisions of Section 9.1, the Trustee shall not be liable to any holder of such Senior Indebtedness if it shall pay over or deliver to holders of Debentures, the Company or any other Person money or assets to which any holder of such Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article XVI or otherwise.

52

Section 16.8.                         Subordination May Not Be Impaired.  (a) No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof that any such holder may have or otherwise be charged with.

(b)                     Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, the holders of Senior Indebtedness may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the holders of the Debentures, without incurring responsibility to the holders of the Debentures and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article XVI or the obligations hereunder of the holders of the Debentures to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, do any one or more of the following:  (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, such Senior Indebtedness, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner such Senior Indebtedness or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which such Senior Indebtedness is outstanding; (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing such Senior Indebtedness; (iii) release any Person liable in any manner for the collection of such Senior Indebtedness; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Company and any other Person.

(continued)

This Debenture is one of the subordinated debentures of the Company (herein sometimes referred to as the “Debentures”), all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of                        , 2008 (the “Indenture”) duly executed and delivered between the Company and Wilmington Trust Company, as Trustee (the “Trustee”), to which Indenture reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the holders of the Debentures.  The Debentures are limited in aggregate principal amount as specified in the Indenture.

Because of the occurrence and continuation of a Special Event (as defined in the Indenture), in certain circumstances, this Debenture may become due and payable at the principal amount together with any interest accrued thereon (the “Redemption Price”).  The Redemption Price shall be paid prior to 12:00 noon, New York time, on the date of such redemption or at such earlier time as the Company determines.  The Company shall have the right as set forth in the Indenture to redeem this Debenture at the option of the Company, without premium or penalty, in whole or in part at any time on or after                      , 2013 (an “Optional Redemption”), or at any time in certain circumstances upon the occurrence of a Special Event, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount hereof plus any accrued but unpaid interest hereon, to the date of such redemption.  Any redemption pursuant to this paragraph shall be made upon not less than 30 days’ nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the Redemption Price.  The Redemption Price shall be paid at the time and in the manner provided therefor in the Indenture.  If the Debentures are only partially redeemed by the Company pursuant to an Optional Redemption, the Debentures shall be redeemed pro rata or by lot or by any other method utilized by the Trustee as described in the Indenture.  In the event of an Optional Redemption of this Debenture in part only, a new Debenture or Debentures for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

In case an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of all of the Debentures may be declared, and upon such declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.

The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures at the time Outstanding (as defined in the Indenture), to execute supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of the Debentures; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, except as provided in the Indenture, (i) extend the fixed maturity of the Debentures, reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon without the consent of the holder of each Debenture so affected

5

thereby; or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Debentures, the holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holder of each Debenture then Outstanding and so affected thereby.  The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures at the time Outstanding, on behalf of all of the holders of the Debentures, to waive any past default in the performance of any of the covenants contained in the Indenture, or established pursuant to the Indenture, and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any of the Debentures.  Any such consent or waiver by the registered holder of this Debenture (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders and owners of this Debenture and of any Debenture issued in exchange herefor or in place hereof (whether by registration of transfer or otherwise), irrespective of whether or not any notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Debenture.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Debenture or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal and interest on this Debenture at the time and place and at the rate and in the money herein prescribed.

The Company, as further described in the Indenture, shall have the right at any time during the term of the Debentures and from time to time to defer payments of interest by extending the interest payment period of such Debentures for up to 20 consecutive quarters (each, an “Extension Period”), at the end of which period the Company shall pay all interest then accrued (together with interest thereon at the rate specified for the Debentures to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law).  Before the termination of any such Extension Period, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company may further extend such Extension Period, provided that such Extension Period together with all such further extensions thereof shall not exceed 20 consecutive quarters, extend beyond                          , 2038, or end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date.  At the termination of any such Extension Period and upon the payment of all Deferred Payments then due and subject to the foregoing conditions, the Company may commence a new Extension Period.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Debenture is transferable by the registered holder hereof on the Debenture Register (as defined in the Indenture) of the Company, upon surrender of this Debenture for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Trustee accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company or the Trustee duly executed by the registered holder hereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Debentures of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.  No service charge shall be made for any such transfer, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in relation thereto.

Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of this Debenture, the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent (as defined in the Indenture) and the Debenture Registrar may deem

6

and treat the registered holder hereof as the absolute owner hereof (whether or not this Debenture shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing hereon made by anyone other than the Debenture Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal hereof and interest due hereon and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any Paying Agent nor any Debenture Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or the interest on this Debenture, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture, against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, past, present or future, as such, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issuance hereof, expressly waived and released.

The Debentures are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $10 and any integral multiple thereof (or such other denominations and any integral multiple thereof as may be deemed necessary by the Company for the purpose of maintaining the eligibility of the Debentures for listing on the NASDAQ Stock Market or any successor thereto).

All terms used in this Debenture that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
