The Property Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Enforcement Event (or any such event) unless an officer of the Property Trustee in its Corporate Office shall have received written notice thereof, or a Responsible Officer of the Property Trustee shall have obtained actual knowledge of such Enforcement Event (or such event).

(a) Capital Payments on the Trust Preferred Securities shall be due and payable to the extent Capital Payments on the Class B Preferred Securities have been declared and paid (or have been deemed declared, even if the deemed declared Capital Payments on the Class B Preferred Securities were not authorized to be paid due to a lack of Operating Profits at the Company). Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities shall be entitled to receive due and payable Capital Payments in cash on the Trust Preferred Securities held by them payable quarterly in arrears on each Payment Date.

(e) Each Capital Payment shall be payable to the Holders of record as they appear on the Register on the corresponding record date.

(f) If and to the extent that the Company makes a distribution on the Class B Preferred Securities held by the Property Trustee or the Bank makes a payment under the Class B Preferred Guarantee (the amount of any such distribution or payment being a “Payment Amount”), the Holder of the Trust Common Security shall be entitled to receive a pro rata portion of such Payment Amount if, as and when funds are held by the Property Trustee in a Property Account; provided, however, upon the liquidation of the Trust and during the continuance of a default under the Initial Obligation or the Substitute Obligations or a failure by the Bank to perform any obligation under the Class B Preferred Guarantee, holders of the Trust Preferred Securities will have a preference over the holder of the Trust Common Security with respect to payments of Capital Payments and other distributions and amounts upon redemption or liquidation of the Trust.

(g) All payments on the Trust Preferred Securities and any payment upon redemption or liquidation thereof, will be made without deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties or governmental charges of any nature whatsoever imposed, levied or collected by or on behalf of the United States or Germany or, during any period in which any Substitute Obligations are outstanding, the jurisdiction of residence of any obligor on such Substitute Obligations (or any jurisdiction from which payments are made) (each, a “Relevant Jurisdiction”) or by or on behalf of any political subdivision or authority therein or thereof having the power to tax (collectively, “Withholding Taxes”), unless such deduction or withholding is required by law. In such event, the Trust will pay, as additional Capital Payments (or Arrears of Payments, as the case may be), such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) to the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received by the holders of the Trust Preferred Securities after such deduction or withholding will equal the amounts that would have been received had no such deduction or withholding been required; provided however, no such Additional Amounts will be payable in respect of the Trust Preferred Securities: (i) if and to the extent that the Company is unable to pay corresponding amounts in respect of the Class B Preferred Securities because such payment would exceed the Distributable Profits of the Bank for the preceding fiscal year (after subtracting from such Distributable Profits the amount of Capital Payments on the Class B Preferred Securities and dividends or other distributions or payments on Parity Capital Securities and Preferred Tier 1 Capital Securities of the Bank, if any, already paid on the basis of such Distributable Profits on or prior to the date on which such Additional Amounts will be payable), in which case such Additional Amounts shall be deferred and will thereupon constitute Arrears of Payments; (ii) with respect to any Withholding Taxes that are payable by reason of a Holder or beneficial owner of the Trust Preferred Securities having some connection with the Relevant Jurisdiction other than by reason only of the mere holding or beneficial ownership of the Trust Preferred Securities; (iii) with respect to any Withholding Taxes which are deducted or withheld pursuant to (A) European Council Directive 2003/48/EC or any other European Union Directive or Regulation implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of 26-27 November 2000 on the taxation of savings income, or (B) any international treaty or understanding entered into for the purpose of facilitating cooperation in the reporting and collection of savings income and to which (x) the United States, and (y) the European Union or Germany is a party, or (C) any provision of law implementing, or complying with, or introduced to conform with, such Directive, Regulation, treaty or understanding; or (iv) to the extent such deduction or withholding can be avoided or reduced if the Holder or beneficial owner of the

Trust Preferred Securities makes a declaration of non-residence or other similar claim for exemption to the relevant tax authority or complies with any reasonable certification, documentation, information or other reporting requirement imposed by the relevant tax authority; provided, however, that the exclusion set forth in this clause (iv) shall not apply if the certification, information, documentation or other reporting requirement would be materially more onerous (in form, procedure or substance of information required to be disclosed) to the Holder or beneficial owner of Trust Preferred Securities than comparable information or other reporting requirements imposed under U.S. tax law, regulation and administrative practice (such as IRS Forms W-8 and W-9).

Section 7.02. Capital Payments after the Tier 1 Qualification Date. The provisions of this Section 7.02 shall apply solely with respect to Payment Periods ending after, and shall have no force or effect with respect to any Payment Period ending on or prior to, the Tier 1 Qualification Date.

(d) Capital Payments and other distributions on the Trust Preferred Securities shall be paid out of, and amounts available to the Trust for such payments shall be limited to, amounts received by the Trust from the Company with respect to the Class B Preferred Securities pursuant to the provisions of the LLC Agreement and from the Guarantor pursuant to the Class B Preferred Guarantee or the Trust Preferred Guarantee (including payments by the Guarantor under the Trust Preferred Guarantee to fund Capital Payments on the Trust Preferred Securities in the event of non-payment of deemed declared Capital Payments on the Class B Preferred Securities due to a lack of Operating Profits at the Company).

Business Day immediately preceding the relevant Payment Date and (B) for Definitive Trust Preferred Certificates, the end of business of the 15^th Business Day prior to the relevant Payment Date.

(f) If and to the extent that the Company makes a distribution on the Class B Preferred Securities held by the Property Trustee or the Guarantor makes a payment under the Class B Preferred Guarantee (the amount of any such distribution or payment being a “Payment Amount”), the Holder of the Trust Common Security shall be entitled to receive a pro rata portion of such Payment Amount if, as and when funds are held by the Property Trustee in a Property Account; provided, however, upon the liquidation of the Trust and during the continuance of a default under the Initial Obligation or the Substitute Obligations or a failure by the Guarantor to perform any obligation under the Guarantees, holders of the Trust Preferred Securities will have a preference over the holder of the Trust Common Security with respect to payments of Capital Payments and other distributions and amounts upon redemption or liquidation of the Trust.

(g) The payment of Capital Payments on the Trust Preferred Securities and any amount payable in liquidation or upon redemption thereof, shall be made without deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties or governmental charges of any nature whatsoever imposed, levied or collected by or on behalf of the United States or Germany (or any jurisdiction from which payments are made) or, during any period in which any Substitute Obligations are outstanding, the jurisdiction of residence of any obligor on such Substitute Obligations (or any jurisdiction from which payments are made) (each, a “Relevant Jurisdiction”) or by or on behalf of any political subdivision or authority therein or thereof having the power to tax (collectively, “Withholding Taxes”), unless such deduction or withholding is required by law. In such event, the Trust will pay, as additional Capital Payments, such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) to the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received by the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities after such deduction or withholding for or on account of Withholding Taxes shall equal the amounts that otherwise would have been received in respect of the Trust Preferred Securities had no such deduction or withholding been required; provided, however, that no such Additional Amounts shall be payable in respect of the Trust Preferred Securities:

(i) if and to the extent that the Company is unable to pay corresponding amounts in respect of the Class B Preferred Securities because such payment would exceed the Distributable Profits of the Bank for the preceding fiscal year (after subtracting from such Distributable Profits the aggregate amount of the Capital Payments on the Class B Preferred Securities to which such Additional Amounts relates and Capital Payments on the Class B Preferred Securities theretofore paid and capital payments or dividend or other distributions payable on Preferred Tier I Securities, if any, pro rata on the basis of such Distributable Profits);

(ii) with respect to any Withholding Taxes that are payable by reason of a Holder or beneficial owner of the Trust Preferred Securities having some connection

with any Relevant Jurisdiction other than by reason only of the mere holding or beneficial ownership of the Trust Preferred Securities;

(iii) with respect to any Withholding Taxes which are deducted or withheld pursuant to (A) European Council Directive 2003/48/EC or any other European Union Directive or Regulation implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of 26-27 November 2000 on the taxation of savings income, or (B) any international treaty or understanding entered into for the purpose of facilitating cooperation in the reporting and collection of savings income and to which (x) the United States, and (y) the European Union or Germany is a party, or (C) any provision of law implementing, or complying with, or introduced to conform with, such Directive, Regulation, treaty or understanding; or

(iv) to the extent such deduction or withholding can be avoided or reduced if the Holder or beneficial owner of the Trust Preferred Securities makes a declaration of non-residence or other similar claim for exemption to the relevant tax authority or complies with any reasonable certification, documentation, information or other reporting requirement imposed by the relevant tax authority; provided, however, that the exclusion set forth in this clause (iv) shall not apply if the certification, information, documentation or other reporting requirement would be materially more onerous (in form, procedure or substance of information required to be disclosed) to the Holder or beneficial owner of Trust Preferred Securities than comparable information or other reporting requirements imposed under U.S. tax law, regulation and administrative practice (such as IRS Forms W-8 and W-9).

ARTICLE 8

ISSUANCE OF TRUST SECURITIES

Section 8.01. Designation and General Provisions Regarding Trust Securities.

(a) The Regular Trustees shall on behalf of the Trust issue one class of preferred securities representing preferred undivided beneficial ownership interests in the Trust Estate and one class of common securities representing undivided beneficial ownership interests in the Trust Estate as follows:

(i) Trust Preferred Securities. There is hereby designated as one class of preferred securities the Trust Preferred Securities (the “Trust Preferred Securities”). The Trust Preferred Securities shall be issued in minimum denomination of a liquidation preference amount of U.S.$25 per Trust Preferred Security (the “Liquidation Preference Amount”) or greater integral multiples thereof. The Trust Preferred Securities shall be issued with an aggregate Liquidation Preference Amount of U.S.$800,000,000. The Global Trust Preferred Certificates evidencing the Trust Preferred Securities shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 to this Agreement, with such changes and additions thereto or deletions therefrom or in any other manner as is reasonably acceptable to the Regular Trustees (as evidenced by their execution thereof), and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such legends and endorsements as the Regular Trustee may deem appropriate, or as may be

required by ordinary usage, custom or practice or as may be requested to comply with any law or to conform to the rules of any stock exchange on which the Trust Preferred Securities are listed.

(ii) Trust Common Security. There is hereby designated as one class of common securities the Trust Common Security (the “Trust Common Security” and, together with the Trust Preferred Securities, the “Trust Securities”). The Trust Common Security shall be issued with an aggregate liquidation amount of U.S.$25. The Trust Common Security Certificate evidencing the Trust Common Security shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B to this Agreement, with such changes and additions thereto or deletions therefrom, or in any other manner as is reasonably acceptable to the Regular Trustees (as evidenced by their execution thereof), and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such legends and endorsements as the Regular Trustee may deem appropriate, or as may be required by ordinary usage, custom or practice or as may be requested to comply with any law.

(b) The Trust shall issue no securities or other interests in the Trust Estate of the Trust other than the Trust Preferred Securities and the Trust Common Security.

(c) Each of the Trust Securities shall be signed by a Regular Trustee for the Trust by manual or facsimile signature. No Trust Security shall be valid or obligatory for any purposes or entitled to any benefit under this Agreement until authenticated by the manual signature of an Authorized Officer of the Property Trustee. Such signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Trust Security has been authenticated and delivered under this Agreement and entitled to its benefits. All Trust Securities shall be dated the date of their execution. Trust Securities bearing signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trust or authenticate on behalf of the Property Trustee, as applicable shall be validly issued notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so authorized prior to the delivery of such Trust Securities. Upon a written order of the

Trust, signed by at least one Regular Trustee, directing the Property Trustee to authenticate and deliver Trust Securities, the Property Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Trust Securities for original issue.

The Property Trustee is authorized to enter into the agency agreement (the “Agency Agreement") dated the date hereof with the Bank, the Paying Agent, the Company and the Trust, and is authorized to appoint as Authenticating Agent the Paying Agent or another agent acceptable to the Trust to authenticate the Trust Preferred Securities. An Authenticating Agent may authenticate Trust Preferred Securities whenever the Property Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Agreement to authentication by the Property Trustee includes authentication by such Authenticating Agent. An Authenticating Agent has the same rights as the Property Trustee to transact with the Sponsor or any Affiliate of the Sponsor. Pursuant to the Agency Agreement, the initial Authenticating Agent shall be Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas.

(d) The consideration received by the Trust for the issuance of the Trust Securities shall constitute a contribution to the capital of the Trust and shall not constitute a loan to the Trust.

(e) Upon issuance of the Trust Securities as provided in this Agreement, the Trust Securities so issued shall be deemed to be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, subject to Section 11.01 hereof with respect to the Trust Common Security.

(f) Every Person, by virtue of having become a Holder of a Trust Preferred Security in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall be deemed to have expressly assented and agreed to the terms of, and shall be bound by, this Agreement.

Section 8.02. Priority of Payments on Trust Securities. Payment of Capital Payments on, and other distributions and amounts on redemption of the Trust Securities or liquidation of the Trust shall be made pro rata among the Trust Common Security and the Trust Preferred Securities based on the Liquidation Preference Amount and the liquidation amount thereof; provided, however, that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a failure to pay interest or additional interest amounts, if any, under the Initial Obligation or the Substitute Obligations or a failure by the Bank to perform any obligation under the Trust Preferred Guarantee or the Class B Preferred Guarantee, no payment of Capital Payments, Arrears of Payments or any other distributions of amounts, including upon redemption or liquidation of the Trust will be made to the holder of the Trust Common Security, unless payment in full in cash of all accumulated and unpaid Capital Payments and Arrears of Payments on, and amounts on redemption of, the Trust Preferred Securities have been made or provided for.

Section 8.03. Redemption of Trust Securities.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 8.02, upon a purchase of the Class B Preferred Securities by the Company upon redemption or otherwise, the proceeds from such purchase shall be simultaneously applied to redeem the Trust Securities for an amount equal to $25 per Trust Preferred Security and an amount equal to $25 per Trust Common

Security, plus Additional Amounts, if any, plus Arrears of Payments, if any, plus any accumulated and unpaid Capital Payments in respect of the then current Payment Period to but excluding the date of redemption (the “Redemption Price”). In the event that payment of the Redemption Price in respect of any Trust Securities is improperly withheld or refused and not paid, Capital Payments on such Trust Securities shall continue to accrue at the Stated Rate from the designated Redemption Date to the date of actual payment of the Redemption Price, in which case the actual payment date shall be considered the Redemption Date for purposes of calculating the Redemption Price. The Property Trustee shall give prompt notice to the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities of the Company’s intention to redeem the Class B Preferred Securities.

(b) If, at any time, a Trust Special Redemption Event shall occur and be continuing, the Regular Trustees shall, within 90 days following the occurrence of such Trust Special Redemption Event, after consultation with DTC, the Paying Agent and the Property Trustee dissolve the Trust upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice to the Holders of the Trust Securities, with the result that, after satisfaction of the claims of creditors of the Trust, if any, Class B Preferred Securities would be distributed on a pro rata basis to the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities and the Holder of the Trust Common Security in liquidation of such Holders’ interest in the Trust; provided, however, that, if, at such time, the Trust has the opportunity to eliminate, within such 90-day period, the Trust Special Redemption Event by taking some Ministerial Action, then the Trust shall pursue such measure in lieu of dissolution.

(c) If the Class B Preferred Securities are distributed to the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities, the Bank shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Class B Preferred Securities to be eligible for clearing and settlement through DTC or a successor clearing agent and to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange or such other securities exchange or similar organization as the Trust Preferred Securities are then listed or quoted.

(d) On the date fixed for any distribution of Class B Preferred Securities, upon dissolution of the Trust, (i) the Trust Securities shall be deemed to be redeemed and no longer be deemed to be outstanding and (ii) certificates representing Trust Securities shall be deemed to represent the Class B Preferred Securities having an aggregate liquidation preference amount equal to the Liquidation Preference Amount of, and bearing accumulated and unpaid Capital Payments equal to accumulated and unpaid Capital Payments on, such Trust Securities until such certificates are presented to the Company or its agent for transfer or reissuance.

(e) Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Trust Securities shall not be redeemable at any time at the option of the Holders of the Trust Securities.

(f) Any Trust Securities that are redeemed shall be canceled, and not reissued, following their redemption.

(g) No vote or consent of the Holders of any Trust Securities shall be required for the Trust to redeem and cancel any Trust Securities or distribute Class B Preferred Securities in accordance with this Agreement and the terms of the Trust Securities.

Section 8.04. Redemption Procedures.

(a) Redemption Notice. An irrevocable notice of redemption (including, if applicable, an irrevocable notice of distribution of Class B Preferred Securities) of the Trust Securities (a “Redemption Notice”) shall be given by the Trust in the manner set forth in Section 15.01 hereof to each Holder of Trust Securities to be redeemed not fewer than 30 nor more than 60 calendar days before the proposed Redemption Date (which, in the case of a redemption of the Class B Preferred Securities, shall be the same as the Class B Redemption Date) or such other time period or in such manner as may be required by the relevant regulatory authorities. A Redemption Notice shall be deemed to be given on the day such notice is first delivered, telecopied or mailed by first-class mail, registered or certified postage prepaid, to Holders of the Trust Securities. Each Redemption Notice shall be addressed to the Holders of the Trust Securities at the address of each such Holder appearing in the Register. No defect in the Redemption Notice or in the delivery thereof with respect to any Holder shall affect the validity of the redemption or exchange proceedings with respect to any other Holder.

(b) Payment of Redemption Price. Except in the case of a distribution of the Class B Preferred Securities to the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities, and provided the Company or the Guarantor has paid to the Property Trustee a sufficient amount of cash in connection with the related redemption of Class B Preferred Securities, then by 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Redemption Date, the Property Trustee shall (i) with respect to Global Trust Preferred Certificates, irrevocably deposit with DTC funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price thereon together with irrevocable instructions to DTC to make such payment or (ii) with respect to Definitive Trust Preferred Certificates, irrevocably deposit with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price thereon, together with irrevocable instructions to the Paying Agent to make such payment by check mailed to the relevant Holder (at its address in the Register on the Redemption Date) upon surrender of its Definitive Trust Preferred Certificates.

(c) Upon satisfaction of the foregoing conditions, all rights of Holders of such Trust Securities so called for redemption shall cease on the Redemption Date, except the right of the Holders of such Trust Securities to receive the applicable Redemption Price (without interest thereon from and after the Redemption Date) or distribution of Class B Preferred Securities with the applicable liquidation preference amount.

If any Redemption Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, payment of all amounts otherwise payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, without adjustment, interest or further payment as a result of such delay in payment.

(d) Subject to the foregoing redemption provisions and procedures and applicable law (including, without limitation, U.S. federal securities law), the Bank or its

Subsidiaries may at any time and from time to time purchase outstanding Trust Preferred Securities by tender, in the secondary market or by private agreement.

Section 8.05. Voting Rights of Trust Preferred Securities.

(a) Except as shall be otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or the LLC Agreement or as otherwise required by the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, the Trust Indenture Act or other applicable law, the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities shall have no right or power to vote on any question or matter or in any proceeding or to be presented at, or to receive notice of, any meeting of Holders of Trust Securities.

(b) Notwithstanding that Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities are entitled to vote or consent under certain circumstances described in this Agreement, any of the Trust Preferred Securities that are beneficially owned by the Bank, or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, either directly or indirectly, shall not, in such case, be entitled to vote or consent and shall, for purposes of such vote or consent, be treated as if such Trust Preferred Securities were not outstanding, except for the Trust Preferred Securities purchased or acquired by the Bank or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates in connection with transactions effected by or for the account of customers of the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or in connection with the distribution or trading of or market-making in connection with such Trust Preferred Securities in the ordinary course of business; provided, however, that Persons (other than Subsidiaries or Affiliates of the Bank) to whom the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates have pledged Trust Preferred Securities may vote or consent with respect to such pledged Trust Preferred Securities pursuant to the terms of such pledge.

(c) Subject to the requirement of the Property Trustee obtaining a tax opinion in certain circumstances set forth in Section 8.05(g) hereof, the Holders of a Majority of the Trust Preferred Securities have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Property Trustee, or direct the exercise of any trust or power conferred upon the Property Trustee under this Agreement, including the right to direct the Property Trustee, as Holder of the Class B Preferred Securities, to (i) exercise the remedies available to it under the LLC Agreement as a Holder of the Class B Preferred Securities or (ii) consent to any amendment, modification, or termination of the LLC Agreement or the Class B Preferred Securities where such consent shall be required; provided, however, that where a consent or action under the LLC Agreement would require the consent or action of the Holders of more than 50% of the Class B Preferred Securities affected thereby, only the Holders of at least the same percentage of the Trust Preferred Securities may direct the Property Trustee to give such consent or take such action on behalf of the Trust.

(d) If the Property Trustee fails to enforce its rights under the Class B Preferred Securities after a Holder of Trust Preferred Securities has made a written request, such Holder of Trust Preferred Securities may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, institute a legal proceeding directly against the Company to enforce the Property Trustee’s rights under the Class B Preferred Securities without first instituting any legal proceeding against the Property Trustee, the Trust or any other person or entity.

(e) Nothing in this Agreement shall affect the right of a Holder of Trust Preferred Securities, if the Trust has failed to pay the Redemption Price with respect to Trust Preferred Securities duly called for redemption, any Capital Payments, including Additional Amounts, if applicable, that are due and owing, to directly institute a proceeding in such Holder’s own name against the Trust for enforcement of the Trust’s obligation to make such payment or against the Guarantor for enforcement of the Trust Preferred Guarantee.

(f) In the event the consent of the Property Trustee, as the holder of the Class B Preferred Securities, is required under the LLC Agreement with respect to any amendment, modification or termination of the LLC Agreement, the Property Trustee shall request the direction of the Holders of the Trust Securities with respect to such amendment, modification or termination and shall vote with respect to such amendment, modification or termination as directed by a Majority of the Trust Securities voting together as a single class; provided, however, that where a consent under the LLC Agreement would require the consent of the holders of more than 50% of the Class B Preferred Securities, the Property Trustee may only give such consent at the direction of the Holders of at least the same stated percentage of the Trust Securities.

(g) The Property Trustee shall be under no obligation to take any of the actions described in Section 8.05(c)(i) or (ii) above unless the Property Trustee has obtained an opinion of independent tax counsel to the effect that following such action, the Trust will be classified as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes and each Holder of the Trust Securities will be treated as owning an undivided beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Estate.

(h) Any required vote of Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities may be given at a separate meeting of Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities convened for such purpose, at a meeting of all of the Holders of the Trust Securities or pursuant to a written consent. The Regular Trustees shall cause a notice of any meeting at which Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities are entitled to vote, or of any matter upon which action may be taken by written consent of such Holders, to be given to the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities in the manner set forth in Section 15.01 hereof. Each such notice shall include a statement setting forth the following information: (i) the date of such meeting or the date by which such action is to be taken, (ii) a description of any resolution proposed for adoption at such meeting on which such Holders are entitled to vote or of such matter upon which written consent is sought and (iii) instructions for the delivery of proxies or consents.

The Holder of the Trust Common Security is entitled, subject to Article 6 hereof, to vote to appoint, remove or replace any Trustee or to increase or decrease the number of Trustees.

(b) Only after all Enforcement Events have been cured, waived, or otherwise eliminated and subject to the requirement of the Property Trustee obtaining a tax opinion in certain circumstances pursuant to Section 8.06(c), the Holder of the Trust Common Security has the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Property Trustee, or direct the exercise of any trust or power conferred upon the Property Trustee under this Agreement, including the right to direct the Property Trustee, as holder of the Class B Preferred Security, to (i) exercise the remedies available to it under the LLC Agreement as a holder of the Class B Preferred Securities (with regard to the Class B Preferred Securities relating to the Trust Common Security) or (ii) consent to any amendment, modification, or termination of the LLC Agreement or the Class B Preferred Securities (with regard to the Class B Preferred Securities relating to the Trust Common Security) where such consent shall be required.

(c) The Property Trustee shall be under no obligation to take any of the actions described in Section 8.06(b)(i) and (ii) above unless the Property Trustee has obtained an opinion of independent tax counsel to the effect that, following such action, the Trust will be classified as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes and each Holder of the Trust Securities will be treated as owning an undivided beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Estate.

(d) If the Property Trustee fails to enforce its rights under the Class B Preferred Securities after a Holder of the Trust Common Security has made a written request, such Holder of the Trust Common Security may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, institute a legal proceeding directly against the Company, to enforce the Property Trustee’s rights under the Class B Preferred Securities without first instituting any legal proceeding against the Property Trustee or any other person or entity.

(e) The voting rights provided pursuant to this Section 8.06 and applicable laws may be waived by the Holder of the Trust Common Security by written notice to the Property Trustee and in accordance with the applicable laws.

The Trust shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, State of New York, an office or agency where the Trust Preferred Securities may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Regular Trustees may appoint the Paying Agent and may appoint one or more additional paying agents in such other locations as they shall determine. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. Any Paying Agent shall comply with Section 317(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. The Trust may remove any Paying Agent or appoint a successor or additional Paying Agent on not less than 30 days’ notice to the Holders of the Trust Securities.

Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas shall initially act as Paying Agent for the Trust Preferred Securities and the Trust Common Security. Any Paying Agent may resign as Paying Agent upon 30 days’ written notice to the Regular Trustees.

Section 8.08. Listing. The Bank shall use its best efforts to cause the Trust Preferred Securities to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

The Trustees may treat the Person in whose name any Global Trust Preferred Certificate or the Trust Common Security shall be registered in the Register as the sole Holder of such Global Trust Preferred Certificate or Trust Common Security, as applicable, and of the securities represented thereby for purposes of receiving Capital Payments and for all other purposes whatsoever and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Global Trust Preferred Certificate or Trust Common Security or in the securities represented thereby on the part of any Person, whether or not the Trust shall have actual or other notice thereof.

Section 10.03. Global Trust Preferred Certificates. Unless and until Definitive Trust Preferred Certificates have been issued to the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities pursuant to Section 10.06:

(a) the provisions of this Section 10.03 shall be in full force and effect and to the extent that the provisions of this Section 10.03 conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 10.03 shall control;

(b) the Trust and the Trustees shall be entitled to deal with DTC as the sole Holder of the Global Trust Preferred Certificates for all purposes of this Agreement (including the payment of Capital Payments on the Global Trust Preferred Certificates and exercising the rights of the Holders of Trust Preferred Securities under this Agreement, and receiving approvals, votes or consents hereunder) and shall have no obligation to the beneficial owners of the Trust Preferred Securities;

(c) the rights of the beneficial owners of the Global Trust Preferred Certificates shall be exercised only through DTC as Holder of the Global Trust Preferred Certificates and its participants and shall be subject to any agreement between such beneficial owners and DTC and/or its participants;

(d) all Capital Payments and any other payments due on account of or with respect to the Global Trust Preferred Certificate shall be made to DTC as provided herein and neither the Trust nor any Trustee nor any agent of any of them shall have any responsibility or liability for the disbursement of such payments by DTC or any participant to beneficial owners of Global Trust Preferred Certificates;

(e) transfers of beneficial ownership of such Global Trust Preferred Certificates shall be made on the books and records of DTC and/or its participants;

(f) solely for the purposes of determining whether the Holders of the requisite amount of Trust Preferred Securities have voted on any matter provided for in this Agreement, so long as Definitive Trust Preferred Certificates have not been issued, the Trustees may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, any written instrument (including a proxy) delivered to the Trustees by DTC setting forth the beneficial owners of the Trust Preferred Securities votes or assigning the right to vote on any matter to any other Person either in whole or in part; and

(g) notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, a Global Trust Preferred Certificate may not be transferred except by DTC in whole and not in part to its successor as a Clearing Agency or to a nominee or depositary of either thereof.

Section 10.04. Notices to Clearing Agency. Whenever a notice or other communication to the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities is required under this Agreement, unless and until Definitive Trust Preferred Certificates shall have been issued pursuant to Section 10.06 hereof, the Regular Trustees shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to DTC as the registered Holder of the Trust Preferred Securities, and shall have no notice obligations to the beneficial owners of the Global Trust Preferred Certificate.

Section 10.05. Appointment of Successor Clearing Agency. If DTC elects to discontinue its services as clearing agency with respect to the Trust Preferred Securities, the Regular Trustees shall use their best efforts to appoint a successor to DTC as a Clearing Agency with respect to such Trust Preferred Securities.

Section 10.06. Definitive Trust Preferred Certificates. If DTC notifies the Trust that it is unwilling or unable to continue its services as depositary for the Trust Preferred Securities or ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act and a successor depositary or clearing agency is not appointed within 90 days after such discontinuance pursuant to Section 10.05, or if the Trust determines in its sole discretion that the Global Trust Preferred Certificate shall be exchangeable for Definitive Trust Preferred Certificates then:

(i) Definitive Trust Preferred Certificates shall be prepared by the Property Trustee on behalf of the Trust with respect to the Trust Preferred Securities;

(ii) upon surrender of each Global Trust Preferred Certificate by DTC, accompanied by registration instructions, the Property Trustee shall cause Definitive Trust Preferred Certificates to be delivered to those Persons who were beneficial owners of the Trust Preferred Securities represented by a Global Trust Preferred Certificate, in accordance with the instructions of DTC. Neither the Trustees nor the Trust shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and each of them may conclusively rely on and shall be protected in relying on, said instructions of DTC. Any Person receiving a Definitive Trust Preferred Certificate in accordance with this Section 10.06 shall be recognized as a Holder upon receipt of such Definitive Trust Preferred Certificate and shall be registered in the Register of the Trust as a Holder of Trust Preferred Securities; and

(iii) any Capital Payments, Arrears of Payments or other payments due on Definitive Trust Preferred Certificates will be made by wire, transfer or by check mailed to the address of the Holder as it appears on the Register on the relevant record date. The final payment on any Definitive Trust Preferred Certificates, however, will be made only upon presentation, and surrender thereof at the office of the Paying Agent on a Business Day. Subject to applicable escheat laws, claims to Capital Payments on Definitive Trust Preferred Certificates, or amounts payable upon redemption, will become void unless presented for payment within a period of (i) with respect to Capital Payments, four years from the relevant Payment Date, or (ii) with respect to amounts payable upon redemption, ten years from the Redemption Date.

Section 10.07. Registration of Trust Securities. The Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept a register for the Trust Securities issued hereunder (herein called the “Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Registrar shall provide for the registration of Trust Securities and of transfers and exchanges of Trust Securities as herein provided. The Register shall be in written form or capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. The Registrar shall record on the Register each Trust Security executed and delivered pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 10.08. Transfer and Exchanges of Trust Securities.

(a) Trust Securities may only be transferred, in whole or in part, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and of the Trust Securities. Any transfer or purported transfer of any Trust Security not made in accordance with this Agreement shall be null and void.

(b) Subject to this Article 10 (and, in the case of the Trust Common Security, subject to Section 4.03(a)), Trust Securities shall be freely transferable.

(c) The Trustees and the Registrar shall not be required to issue, register the transfer of, or exchange any Trust Security from and after the opening of business 15 days before the Redemption Date.

(d) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of a Trust Security, but the Trustees or the Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of a Trust Security.

(e) Title to any Trust Security that is properly endorsed or accompanied by a properly executed instrument of transfer or endorsement shall be transferable by delivery with the same effect as in the case of a negotiable instrument.

(f) Certificates may be transferred upon surrender thereof by the Holder in person or by a duly authorized attorney, properly endorsed or accompanied by a properly endorsed instrument of transfer or endorsement, together with evidence of the payment of any transfer taxes or government charges that may be imposed in relation to such transfer. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of a Certificate, the Regular Trustees and the Property Trustee shall cause one or more new Certificates to be executed and authenticated pursuant to the applicable provisions of this Agreement in the name of the designated transferee or transferees. Global Trust Preferred Certificates and the Trust Common Security may only be transferred in whole but not in part. Definitive Trust Preferred Certificates may be transferred in whole or in part subject to the applicable minimum denomination requirements under this Agreement. If only part of Definitive Trust Preferred Certificates is transferred, a new Definitive Trust Preferred Certificate shall be issued to the transferor within three Business Days after the Registrar receives the Definitive Trust Preferred Certificate. The new Definitive Trust Preferred Certificate representing the Trust Preferred Securities that were not transferred shall be delivered to the transferor by uninsured mail at the risk of the transferor, to the address of the transferor in the Register. The new Definitive Trust Preferred Securities Certificate representing the Trust Preferred Securities that were transferred shall be sent to the transferee within three Business Days after the Trust receives the surrendered Definitive Trust Preferred Securities Certificate by uninsured mail at the risk of the transferee, to the address specified on the form of transfer.

(g) At the option of the Holder, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates in no less than the applicable minimum denominations in a like aggregate Liquidation Preference Amount or liquidation amount, as applicable. Upon surrender for registration of exchange of a Certificate, subject to the conditions to transfer set forth in this Agreement, the Regular Trustees and the Property Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver pursuant to the applicable provisions of this Agreement, a new Certificate of like aggregate Liquidation Preference Amount or liquidation amount, as applicable, as the Certificate surrendered for exchange.

(h) As a condition precedent to the registration of the transfer or exchange of any Trust Security, the Registrar may require (i) production of proof satisfactory to it as to the identity and genuiness of any signature, (ii) compliance with such regulations, if any, as the Trustee or the Registrar may establish not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement and (iii) such other information as the Registrar may reasonably request.

(i) Each Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled by the Property Trustee. Except as prohibited by applicable law or regulation, the Property Trustee or the Registrar may destroy such cancelled Certificate or otherwise dispose of it in accordance with its usual practices.

(j) By acceptance of a Certificate, each transferee shall be deemed to have agreed to be bound by this Agreement.

(k) The Registrar shall not be responsible for ascertaining whether any transfer complies with, or otherwise to monitor or determine compliance with, the requirements or terms of the Securities Act, applicable state securities laws, ERISA, the Code or the 1940 Act; except that if a certificate is specifically required by the terms of this Section 10.08 to be provided to the Registrar by a prospective transferee, the Registrar shall be under a duty to receive and examine the same to determine whether it conforms substantially on its face to the applicable requirements of this Section 10.08.

Section 10.09. Lost or Stolen Trust Securities, Etc. If (i) any mutilated Certificate shall be surrendered to the Registrar, or if the Registrar shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) there shall be delivered to the Registrar, the Regular Trustee and the Property Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice that such Certificate shall have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser or, as applicable, any protected purchaser, the Regular Trustees and the Property Trustee shall make available for delivery, in exchange for or in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of a like aggregate liquidation amount. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate, the Registrar, the Regular Trustee or the Property Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of a Certificate corresponding to that evidenced by the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificates.

ARTICLE 11
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF HOLDERS OF TRUST SECURITIES, TRUSTEES OR OTHERS

Section 11.01. Liability.

(a) Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Trust Preferred Guarantee and the terms of the Trust Securities, the Bank, the Guarantor, the Sponsor and the Trustees shall not be:

(i) personally liable for the return of any portion of the capital contributions (or any return thereon) of the Holders of the Trust Securities, which shall be made solely from assets of the Trust; and

(ii) required to pay to the Trust or to any Holder of the Trust Securities any deficit upon dissolution of the Trust or otherwise.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the Holder of the Trust Common Security, by entering into this Agreement, agrees that it shall be liable directly to any creditor or claimant of or against the Trust for the entire amount of all of the debts and obligations of the Trust (other than obligations to the Holders of the Trust Securities in their capacities as Holders) to the extent not satisfied out of the Trust’s assets. This Section 11.01(b) shall automatically terminate upon (i) the adoption of final or temporary U.S. federal tax regulations which, if the Trust were not classified as a grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes, would result in the classification of the Trust as a partnership for U.S. federal tax purposes without regard to its organic characteristics and (ii) the taking of such action, if any, by the Trust or the Holders of the Trust Securities as may be necessary to achieve such classification.

(c) Pursuant to Section 3803(a) of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities shall be entitled to the same limitation of personal liability extended to shareholders of private corporations for profit organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

Section 11.02. Exculpation.

(a) No Indemnified Person shall be liable, responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Trust or any Covered Person for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Indemnified Person in good faith on behalf of the Trust and in a manner such Indemnified Person reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such Indemnified Person by this Agreement or by law, except that a Indemnified Person shall be liable for any such loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of such Indemnified Person’s negligence or willful misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions.

(b) An Indemnified Person shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Trust and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Trust by any Person as to matters the Indemnified Person reasonably believes are within such other Person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Trust, including information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value and amount of the assets, liabilities, profits, losses, or any other facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which Capital Payments and Arrears of Payments to Holders of the Trust Securities might properly be paid.

Section 11.03. Fiduciary Duty.

(a) To the extent that, at law or in equity, an Indemnified Person has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Trust or to any other Covered Person, an Indemnified Person acting under this Agreement shall not be liable to the Trust or to any other Covered Person for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of an Indemnified Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the parties hereto to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Indemnified Person.

(b) Unless otherwise expressly provided herein:

(i) whenever a conflict of interest exists or arises between an Indemnified Person and any Covered Person; or

(ii) whenever this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein or therein provides that an Indemnified Person shall act in a manner that is, or provides terms that are, fair and reasonable to the Trust or any Holder of the Trust Securities,

the Indemnified Person shall resolve such conflict of interest, take such action or provide such terms, considering in each case the relative interest of each party (including its own interest) to such conflict, agreement, transaction or situation and the benefits and burdens relating to such interests, any customary or accepted industry practices, and any applicable generally accepted accounting practices or principles. In the absence of bad faith by the Indemnified Person, the resolution, action or term so made, taken or provided by the Indemnified Person shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein or of any duty or obligation of the Indemnified Person at law or in equity or otherwise.

(i) in its “discretion” or under a grant of similar authority, the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to consider such interests and factors as it desires, including its own interests, and shall have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Trust or any other Person; or

(ii) in its “good faith” or under another express standard, the Indemnified Person shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standard imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law.

Section 11.04. Indemnification.

(a)

(i) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Bank shall indemnify and hold harmless any Bank Indemnified Person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action

by or in the right of the Trust) by reason of the fact that he is or was a Bank Indemnified Person against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Trust, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Bank Indemnified Person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Trust, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

(ii) The Bank shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any Bank Indemnified Person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Trust to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a Bank Indemnified Person against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Trust and except that no such indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such Bank Indemnified Person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Trust unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

(iii) To the extent that a Bank Indemnified Person shall be successful on the merits or otherwise (including dismissal of an action without prejudice or the settlement of an action without admission of liability) in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section 11.04(a), or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified by the Bank, to the fullest extent permitted by law, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

(iv) Any indemnification under paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section 11.04(a) (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Bank only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the Bank Indemnified Person is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in paragraphs (i) and (ii). Such determination shall be made (1) by the Regular Trustees by a majority vote of a Quorum consisting of such Regular Trustees who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, (2) if such a Quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, if a Quorum of disinterested Regular Trustees so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the Holder of the Trust Common Security.

(v) Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a Bank Indemnified Person in defending a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding referred to in paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section 11.04(a) shall be paid by the Bank in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Bank Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Bank as authorized in this Section 11.04(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no advance shall be made by the Bank if a determination is reasonably and promptly made (i) by the Regular Trustees by a majority vote of a Quorum of disinterested Regular Trustees, (ii) if such a Quorum is not obtainable, or , even if obtainable, if a Quorum of disinterested Regular Trustees so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion or (iii) the Holder of the Trust Common Security, that, based upon the facts known to the Regular Trustees, counsel or the Holder of the Trust Common Security at the time such determination is made, such Bank Indemnified Person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Trust, or, with respect to any criminal proceeding, that such Bank Indemnified Person believed or had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. In no event shall any advance be made in instances where the Regular Trustees, independent legal counsel or the Holder of the Trust Common Security reasonably determine that such person deliberately breached his duty to the Trust or to the Holder of the Trust Common Security.

(vi) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other paragraphs of this Section 11.04(a) shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification and advancement of expenses may be entitled under any agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors of the Bank or Holders of the Trust Securities or otherwise. All rights to indemnification under this Section 11.04(a) shall be deemed to be provided by a contract between the Bank and each Bank Indemnified Person who serves in such capacity at any time while this Section 11.04(a) is in effect. Any repeal or modification of this Section 11.04(a) shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing.

(vii) The Bank or the Trust may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a Bank Indemnified Person against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Bank would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Section 11.04(a).

(viii) For purposes of this Section 11.04(a), references to “the Trust” shall include, in addition to the resulting or surviving entity, any constituent entity (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger, so that any person who is or was a director, trustee, officer or employee of such constituent entity, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent entity as a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of another entity, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Section 11.04(a) with respect to the resulting or surviving entity as he would have with respect to such constituent entity if its separate existence had continued.

(ix) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section 11.04(a) shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Bank Indemnified Person and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

(b) The Bank agrees to indemnify the (i) Property Trustee, (ii) the Delaware Trustee, (iii) any Affiliate of the Property Trustee and (iv) any officers, directors, shareholders, members, partners, employees, representatives, custodians, nominees or agents of the Property Trustee and the Delaware Trustee (each of the Persons in (i) through (iv) being referred to as a “Fiduciary Indemnified Person”) for, and to hold each Fiduciary Indemnified Person harmless against, any loss, damage, claim, liability or expense including taxes (other than taxes based on the income of the Trustee) incurred without negligence or bad faith on the part of the Fiduciary Indemnified Person arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) of defending itself against or investigating any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. The obligation to indemnify as set forth in this Section 11.04(b) shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Agreement.

Section 11.05. Outside Businesses.

Any Covered Person, the Bank, the Delaware Trustee and the Property Trustee may engage in or possess an interest in other business ventures of any nature or description, independently or with others, similar or dissimilar to the business of the Trust, and the Trust and the Holders of the Trust Securities shall have no rights by virtue of this Agreement in and to such independent ventures or the income or profits derived therefrom, and the pursuit of any such venture, even if competitive with the business of the Trust, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper. Any Covered Person, the Bank, the Delaware Trustee or the Property Trustee shall not be obligated to present any particular investment or other opportunity to the Trust even if such opportunity is of a character that, if presented to the Trust, could be taken by the Trust, and any Covered Person, the Bank, the Delaware Trustee and the Property Trustee shall have the right to take for its own account (individually or as a partner or fiduciary) or to recommend to others any such particular investment or other opportunity. Any Covered Person, the Delaware Trustee and the Property Trustee may engage or be interested in any financial or other transaction with the Bank or any Affiliate of the Bank, or may act as depositary for, trustee or agent for, or act on any committee or body of holders of, securities or other obligations of the Bank or its Affiliates.
