With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section 1.4(e), the Company may designate any date as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the Stock Purchase Contract Agent in writing, and to each Holder of MCAPS in the manner specified in Section 1.6, prior to or on the existing Expiration Date.  If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the Company shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the 180th day after the applicable record date.

Section 1.5             Notices.

Any notice or communication is duly given if in writing and delivered in Person or mailed by first-class mail (registered or certified, return receipt requested), telecopier (with receipt confirmed) or overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery, to the others’ address; provided that notice shall be deemed given to the Stock Purchase Contract Agent only upon receipt thereof:

13

The Stock Purchase Contract Agent shall send to the Indenture Trustee at the telecopier number set forth above a copy of any notices in the form of Exhibits C, D, E or F it sends or receives.

Section 1.6             Notice to Holders; Waiver.

Where this Agreement provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at its address as it appears in the

14

Securities Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice.  In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Holder, shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders.  Where this Agreement provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice.  Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Stock Purchase Contract Agent, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Stock Purchase Contract Agent shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

Section 1.7             Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.

The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

19

Prior to the purchase of Depositary Shares under each Stock Purchase Contract, such Stock Purchase Contract shall not entitle the Holder of an MCAPS to any of the rights of a holder of Depositary Shares, including, without limitation, the right to vote or receive any dividends or other payments or to consent or to receive notice as a stockholder in respect of the meetings of stockholders or for the election of directors of the Company or for any other matter, or any other rights whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company.

(d)           No Stock Purchase Contract evidenced by a Certificate shall be valid until such Certificate has been executed on behalf of the Holder by the manual signature of an authorized officer of the Stock Purchase Contract Agent, as such Holder’s attorney-in-fact.  Such signature by an authorized officer of the Stock Purchase Contract Agent shall be conclusive evidence that the Holder of such Certificate has entered into the Stock Purchase Contracts evidenced by such Certificate.

(e)           Each Certificate shall be dated the date of its authentication.

(f)            No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by an authorized officer of the Stock Purchase Contract Agent by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

temporary Certificates that are in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A or Exhibit B hereto, as the case may be, with such letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such legends or endorsements printed, lithographed or engraved thereon as may be required by the rules of any securities exchange on which the Normal MCAPS or Treasury MCAPS, as the case may be, are listed, or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers of the Company executing such Certificates, as evidenced by their execution of the Certificates.

(b)           If temporary Certificates are issued, the Company will cause definitive Certificates to be prepared without unreasonable delay.  After the preparation of definitive Certificates, the temporary Certificates shall be exchangeable for definitive Certificates upon surrender of the temporary Certificates at the Corporate Trust Office, at the expense of the Company and without charge to the Holder.  Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Certificates, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Stock Purchase Contract Agent, and the Stock Purchase Contract Agent shall authenticate, execute on behalf of the Holder, and deliver in exchange therefor, one or more definitive Certificates of like tenor and denominations and evidencing a like number of MCAPS as the temporary Certificate or Certificates so surrendered.  Until so exchanged, the temporary Certificates shall in all respects evidence the same benefits and the same obligations with respect to the MCAPS evidenced thereby as definitive Certificates.

Section 3.5             Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

(a)           The Stock Purchase Contract Agent shall keep at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the “Securities Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Stock Purchase Contract Agent shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers of Certificates (the Stock Purchase Contract Agent, in such capacity, the “Securities Registrar”).  The Securities Registrar shall record separately the registration and transfer of the Certificates evidencing Normal MCAPS and Treasury MCAPS.

(b)           Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Stock Purchase Contract Agent, and the Stock Purchase Contract Agent shall authenticate, execute on behalf of the designated transferee or transferees, and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of any authorized denominations, like tenor, and evidencing a like number of Normal MCAPS or Treasury MCAPS, as the case may be.

(d)           All Certificates issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of a Certificate shall evidence the ownership of the same number of Normal MCAPS or Treasury

21

MCAPS, as the case may be, and be entitled to the same benefits and subject to the same obligations under this Agreement as the Normal MCAPS or Treasury MCAPS, as the case may be, evidenced by the Certificate surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(e)           Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Stock Purchase Contract Agent) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Stock Purchase Contract Agent duly executed, by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing.

(f)            No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of a Certificate, but the Company and the Stock Purchase Contract Agent may require payment from the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, other than any exchanges pursuant to Sections 3.4, 3.6 and 9.5 not involving any transfer.

(g)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to execute and deliver to the Stock Purchase Contract Agent, and the Stock Purchase Contract Agent shall not be obligated to authenticate, execute on behalf of the Holder and deliver any Certificate in exchange for any other Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange on or after the Business Day immediately preceding the earliest to occur of the Stock Purchase Date or the Termination Date.  In lieu of delivery of a new Certificate, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions specified above in this Section and receipt of appropriate registration or transfer instructions from such Holder, the Stock Purchase Contract Agent shall:

(i)            if the Stock Purchase Date (including upon any Settlement with Qualifying Treasury Securities) with respect to such other Certificate has occurred, deliver the Depositary Shares issuable in respect of the Stock Purchase Contracts forming a part of the MCAPS evidenced by such other Certificate; or

(ii)           if a Termination Event shall have occurred prior to the Stock Purchase Date, transfer the Trust Preferred Securities or the Qualifying Treasury Securities, as the case may be, evidenced thereby, in each case subject to the applicable conditions and in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 3.15 and Article VI hereof.

Section 3.6             Book-Entry Interests.

(a)           The Certificates, on original issuance, will be issued in the form of one or more fully registered Global Certificates, to be delivered to the MCAPS Depositary or its custodian by, or on behalf of, the Company.  The Company hereby designates DTC as the initial MCAPS Depositary.  Such Global Certificates shall initially be registered on the books and records of the Company in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the MCAPS Depositary, and no Beneficial Owner will receive a definitive Certificate representing such Beneficial Owner’s interest in such Global Certificate, except as provided in Section 3.9.  The Stock Purchase Contract Agent shall enter into an agreement with the MCAPS Depositary if so requested by the Company.  Unless and until definitive, fully registered Certificates have been issued to Beneficial Owners pursuant to Section 3.9:

22

(i)            the provisions of this Section 3.6 shall be in full force and effect;

(ii)           the Company shall be entitled to deal with the MCAPS Depositary for all purposes of this Agreement (including, without limitation, making Contract Payments and receiving approvals, votes or consents hereunder) as the Holder of the MCAPS and the sole holder of the Global Certificates and shall have no obligation to the Beneficial Owners; provided that any Beneficial Owner may directly enforce against the Company, without the involvement of the MCAPS Depositary or any other Person, its right to receive definitive Certificates pursuant to Section 3.9;

(iii)          to the extent that the provisions of this Section 3.6 conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 3.6 shall control; and

(iv)          the rights of the Beneficial Owners shall be exercised only through the MCAPS  Depositary and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Beneficial Owners and the MCAPS Depositary or the MCAPS Depositary Participants; provided that any Beneficial Owner may directly enforce against the Company, without the involvement of the MCAPS Depositary or any other Person, its right to receive definitive Certificates pursuant to Section 3.9.

Transfers of securities evidenced by Global Certificates shall be made through the facilities of the MCAPS Depositary, and any cancellation of, or increase or decrease in the number of, such securities (including the creation of Treasury MCAPS and the recreation of Normal MCAPS pursuant to Sections 3.13 and 3.14 respectively) shall be accomplished by making appropriate annotations on the Schedule of Increases and Decreases for such Global Certificate.

Section 3.7             Notices to Holders.

Whenever a notice or other communication to the Holders is required to be given under this Agreement, the Company or the Company’s agent shall give such notices and communications to the Holders and, with respect to any MCAPS registered in the name of the MCAPS Depositary or the nominee of the MCAPS Depositary, the Company or the Company’s agent shall, except as specified herein, have no obligations to the Beneficial Owners.

Section 3.8             Appointment of Successor MCAPS Depositary.

If the MCAPS Depositary elects to discontinue its services as securities depositary with respect to the MCAPS, the Company may, in its sole discretion, appoint a successor MCAPS  Depositary with respect to the MCAPS.

Section 3.9             Definitive Certificates.

If:

23

(a)           the MCAPS Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue its services as securities depositary with respect to the MCAPS and no successor Depositary has been appointed pursuant to Section 3.8 within 90 days after such notice; or

(b)           the MCAPS Depositary ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under Section 17A of the Exchange Act when the MCAPS Depositary is required to be so registered to act as the MCAPS Depositary and so notifies the Company, and no successor MCAPS Depositary has been appointed pursuant to Section 3.8 within 90 days after such notice; or

(c)           any event of default has occurred and is continuing under the Trust Preferred Securities or this Agreement; or

(d)           the Company determines in its sole discretion that the Global Certificates shall be exchangeable for definitive Certificates,

then (x) definitive Certificates shall be prepared by the Company with respect to such MCAPS and delivered to the Stock Purchase Contract Agent and (y) upon surrender of the Global Certificates representing the MCAPS by the MCAPS  Depositary, accompanied by registration instructions, the Company shall cause definitive Certificates to be delivered to Beneficial Owners in accordance with the instructions of the MCAPS Depositary.  The Company and the Stock Purchase Contract Agent shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on and shall be authorized and protected in relying on, such instructions.  Each definitive Certificate so delivered shall evidence MCAPS of the same kind and tenor as the Global Certificate so surrendered in respect thereof.

Section 3.10           Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Certificates.

(a)           If any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Stock Purchase Contract Agent, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Stock Purchase Contract Agent, and the Stock Purchase Contract Agent shall authenticate, execute on behalf of the Holder, and deliver in exchange therefor, a new Certificate, evidencing the same number of Normal MCAPS or Treasury MCAPS, as the case may be, and bearing a Certificate number not contemporaneously outstanding.

(b)           If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Stock Purchase Contract Agent (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold each of them and any agent of any of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Stock Purchase Contract Agent that such Certificate has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Stock Purchase Contract Agent, and the Stock Purchase Contract Agent shall authenticate, execute on behalf of the Holder, and deliver to the Holder, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate, evidencing the same number of Normal MCAPS or Treasury MCAPS, as the case may be, and bearing a Certificate number not contemporaneously outstanding.

(c)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to execute and deliver to the Stock Purchase Contract Agent, and the Stock Purchase Contract Agent shall not

24

be obligated to authenticate, execute on behalf of the Holder, and deliver to the Holder, a Certificate on or after the Business Day immediately preceding the earliest of the Stock Purchase Date or the Termination Date.  In lieu of delivery of a new Certificate, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions specified above in this Section and receipt of appropriate registration or transfer instructions from such Holder, the Stock Purchase Contract Agent shall:

(i)            if the Stock Purchase Date with respect to such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Certificate has occurred, deliver the Depositary Shares issuable in respect of the Stock Purchase Contracts forming a part of the MCAPS evidenced by such Certificate; or

(ii)           if a Settlement with Qualifying Treasury Securities with respect to such lost or mutilated Certificate or if a Termination Event shall have occurred prior to the Stock Purchase Date, transfer the Trust Preferred Securities or the Qualifying Treasury Securities, as the case may be, evidenced thereby, in each case subject to the applicable conditions and in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 3.15 and Article VI hereof.

(d)           Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Company and the Stock Purchase Contract Agent may require the payment by the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other fees and expenses (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of the Stock Purchase Contract Agent) connected therewith.

(e)           Every new Certificate issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company and of the Holder in respect of the MCAPS evidenced thereby, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate (and the MCAPS evidenced thereby) shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits and be subject to all the obligations of this Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all other Certificates delivered hereunder.

(f)            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.

Section 3.11           Persons Deemed Owners.

(a)           Prior to due presentment of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Company and the Stock Purchase Contract Agent, and any agent of the Company or the Stock Purchase Contract Agent, may treat the Person in whose name such Certificate is registered as the owner of the MCAPS evidenced thereby for purposes of (subject to any applicable record date) any payment or distribution on the Trust Preferred Securities, payment of Contract Payments and performance of the Stock Purchase Contracts and for all other purposes whatsoever in connection with such MCAPS, whether or not such payment, distribution, or performance shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, and neither the Company nor the Stock Purchase Contract Agent, nor any agent of the Company or the Stock Purchase Contract Agent, shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

25

(b)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Global Certificate, nothing contained herein shall prevent the Company, the Stock Purchase Contract Agent or any agent of the Company or the Stock Purchase Contract Agent from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the MCAPS Depositary (or its nominee), as a Holder, with respect to such Global Certificate, or impair, as between such MCAPS Depositary and the related Beneficial Owner, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of rights of the MCAPS Depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of such Global Certificate.  None of the Company, the Stock Purchase Contract Agent or any agent of the Company or the Stock Purchase Contract Agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Certificate or maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

Section 3.12           Cancellation.

(a)           All Certificates surrendered for delivery of the Depositary Shares on or after the Stock Purchase Date or upon the transfer of Trust Preferred Securities or for delivery of Trust Preferred Securities or Qualifying Treasury Securities, as the case may be, after the occurrence of a Termination Event or pursuant to a Settlement with Qualifying Treasury Securities, or upon the registration of transfer or exchange of a MCAPS, or a Collateral Substitution or the recreation of Normal MCAPS shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Stock Purchase Contract Agent, be delivered to the Stock Purchase Contract Agent along with appropriate written instructions regarding the cancellation thereof and, if not already cancelled, shall be promptly cancelled by it.  The Company may at any time deliver to the Stock Purchase Contract Agent for cancellation any Certificates previously authenticated, executed and delivered hereunder that the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Certificates so delivered shall, upon an Issuer Order, be promptly cancelled by the Stock Purchase Contract Agent.  No Certificates shall be authenticated, executed on behalf of the Holder and delivered in lieu of or in exchange for any Certificates cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement.  All cancelled Certificates held by the Stock Purchase Contract Agent shall be disposed of in accordance with its customary practices.

(b)           If the Company or any Affiliate of the Company shall acquire any Certificate, such acquisition shall not operate as a cancellation of such Certificate unless and until such Certificate is delivered to the Stock Purchase Contract Agent cancelled or for cancellation.

Section 3.13           Creation of Treasury MCAPS by Substitution of Qualifying Treasury Securities.

(a)           Subject to the conditions specified in this Agreement, a Holder may, at any time from and after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Successful Remarketing of the Trust Preferred Securities (except (1) on a day in February, May, August or November that is on or after the 15^th day of the month (or the next Business Day if the last day is not a Business Day) or (2) during the period from 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day immediately preceding the beginning of any Remarketing Period until the opening of business on the Business Day immediately following such Remarketing Settlement Date), effect a Collateral Substitution and separate the Pledged Trust Preferred Securities from the related Stock Purchase

26

Contracts in respect of all or a portion of such Holder’s Normal MCAPS by substituting for such Pledged Trust Preferred Securities or Qualifying Treasury Securities maturing at least one business day prior to the next Quarterly Date in an aggregate principal amount at maturity equal to the aggregate liquidation amount of such Pledged Trust Preferred Securities.  To effect such substitution, the Holder must:

(i)            deposit with the Collateral Agent the applicable Qualifying Treasury Securities that will mature at least one business day prior to the next Quarterly Date and, in each case, in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000, which must be purchased in the open market by the Holder (unless otherwise owned by the Holder); and

(ii)           transfer the related Normal MCAPS to the Stock Purchase Contract Agent accompanied by a notice to be substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, (i) stating that the Holder has deposited the appropriate amount of Qualifying Treasury Securities with the Collateral Agent for credit to the Collateral Account in substitution for the Pledged Trust Preferred Securities, (ii) stating that the Holder is transferring the Normal MCAPS to the Transfer Agent and (iii) requesting that the Collateral Agent release the Pledged Trust Preferred Securities underlying such Normal MCAPS.

(b)           Upon receipt of the Qualifying Treasury Securities described in clause (i) above and the instruction described in clause (ii) above, in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Agreement, the Collateral Agent will cause the release of such Pledged Trust Preferred Securities from the Pledge and the transfer of such Trust Preferred Securities to the Stock Purchase Contract Agent on behalf of the Holder free and clear of the Company’s security interest therein.  Upon receipt of such Trust Preferred Securities, the Stock Purchase Contract Agent shall promptly:

(i)            cancel the related Normal MCAPS;

(ii)           transfer the Trust Preferred Securities to the Holder (such Trust Preferred Securities shall be tradeable as a separate security, independent of the resulting Treasury MCAPS); and

(iii)          authenticate, execute on behalf of such Holder and deliver Treasury MCAPS in book-entry form, or if applicable, in the form of a Treasury MCAPS Certificate executed by the Company in accordance with Section 3.3 evidencing the same number of Stock Purchase Contracts as were evidenced by the cancelled Normal MCAPS.

(c)           In the event a Holder making a Collateral Substitution pursuant to this Section 3.13 fails to effect a book-entry transfer of the Normal MCAPS or fails to deliver Normal MCAPS Certificates to the Transfer Agent after depositing Qualifying Treasury Securities with the Collateral Agent, any distributions on the Trust Preferred Securities constituting a part of such Normal MCAPS shall be held in the name of the Stock Purchase Contract Agent or its nominee in trust for the benefit of such Holder, until such Normal MCAPS are so transferred or the Normal MCAPS Certificate is so delivered, as the case may be, or, such Holder provides

27

evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Stock Purchase Contract Agent that such Normal MCAPS Certificate has been destroyed, lost or stolen, together with any indemnity that may be required by the Stock Purchase Contract Agent and the Company.

(d)           Except as described in Section 6.2 or in this Section 3.13 or in connection with a Settlement with Qualifying Treasury Securities or a Termination Event, for so long as the Stock Purchase Contract underlying a Normal MCAPS remains in effect, such Normal MCAPS shall not be separable into its constituent parts, and the rights and obligations of the Holder in respect of the Trust Preferred Securities and the Stock Purchase Contract comprising such Normal MCAPS may be acquired, and may be transferred and exchanged, only as a Normal MCAPS.

(e)           Promptly following each quarterly publication of the U.S. Department of the Treasury of the tentative auction schedule, the Collateral Agent shall prepare and deliver to the Company a schedule identifying for the upcoming 12-month period the issue and maturity dates for each Qualifying Treasury Security. 

Section 3.14           Recreation of Normal MCAPS.

(a)           Subject to the conditions specified in this Agreement, a Holder of Treasury MCAPS may recreate Normal MCAPS at any time from and after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Successful Remarketing of the Trust Preferred Securities (except (1) on a day in February, May, August or November that is on or after the 15^th day of the month through the last day of the month (or the next Business Day if the last day is not a Business Day) or (2) during the period from 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day immediately preceding the beginning of such Remarketing Period until the opening of business on the Business Day immediately following such Remarketing Settlement Date). To recreate Normal MCAPS, the Holder must:

(i)            deposit with the Securities Intermediary Trust Preferred Securities having an aggregate liquidation amount equal to the stated amount of the Normal MCAPS to be recreated, which Trust Preferred Securities must be purchased at Holder’s expense (unless otherwise owned by the Holder); and

(ii)           transfer the related Treasury MCAPS to the Stock Purchase Contract Agent accompanied by a notice to the Stock Purchase Contract Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, (i) stating that the Holder has transferred the relevant amount of Trust Preferred Securities to the Collateral Agent for deposit in the Collateral Account in substitution for the Pledged Qualifying Treasury Securities and (ii) instructing the Stock Purchase Contract Agent to instruct the Collateral Agent to release the Pledged Treasury Securities underlying such Treasury MCAPS, whereupon the Stock Purchase Contract Agent shall promptly provide an instruction to such effect to the Collateral Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit C to the Collateral Agreement.

(b)           Upon receipt of the Trust Preferred Securities described in clause (i) above and the instruction described in clause (ii) above, in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Agreement, the Collateral Agent will effect the release of the Pledged Qualifying Treasury Securities having a corresponding aggregate principal amount at maturity from the Pledge and

28

the transfer thereof to the Stock Purchase Contract Agent on behalf of the Holder free and clear of the Company’s security interest therein.  Upon receipt of such Qualifying Treasury Securities, the Stock Purchase Contract Agent shall promptly:

(c)           Except as provided in Section 6.2 or in this Section 3.14 or in connection with a Termination Event, for so long as the Stock Purchase Contract underlying a Treasury MCAPS remains in effect, such Treasury MCAPS shall not be separable into its constituent parts and the rights and obligations of the Holder of such Treasury MCAPS in respect of the Qualifying Treasury Security and the Stock Purchase Contract comprising such Treasury MCAPS may be acquired, and may be transferred and exchanged, only as a Treasury MCAPS.

(c)           In the case of any Normal MCAPS with respect to which (A) a Collateral Substitution is properly effected pursuant to Section 3.13, or (B) a Successful Remarketing occurs with respect to the Trust Preferred Security that is part of such Normal MCAPS, in each case on a date that is after any Record Date and prior to or on the next succeeding Payment Date, distributions on the Trust Preferred Securities underlying such Normal MCAPS otherwise payable on such Payment Date shall be payable on such Payment Date notwithstanding such Collateral Substitution or Remarketing, and such payment or distributions shall, subject to receipt thereof by the Stock Purchase Contract Agent, be payable to the Person in whose name the Normal MCAPS Certificate (or one or more Predecessor Normal MCAPS Certificates) was registered at the close of business on the Record Date.

(i)            containing such information as is contained in the notice or solicitation;

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

(ii)           if no 13-week treasury ▇▇▇▇ that matures at least one and not more than six Business Days prior to that Quarterly Date is or is scheduled to be outstanding or is available in a sufficient principal amount on the immediately preceding Quarterly Date, the 26-week treasury ▇▇▇▇ that matures at least one and not more than six Business Days prior to that Quarterly Date, or

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

(b)           The Collateral Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to identify the security meeting the foregoing criteria for each Quarterly Date promptly after the Department of the Treasury makes the schedule for upcoming auctions of treasury securities publicly available and shall, to the extent that a security previously identified with respect to any Quarterly Date is no longer expected to be outstanding on the immediately preceding Quarterly Date, identify another security meeting the foregoing criteria for such Quarterly Date. The security most recently identified by the Collateral Agent with respect to any Quarterly Date shall be the “Qualifying Treasury Security” with respect to the period from and including its date of issuance (or if later, the date of maturity of the Qualifying Treasury Security with respect to the immediately preceding Quarterly Date) to but excluding its date of maturity, and the Collateral Agent’s identification of a security as a Qualifying Treasury Security for such period shall be final and binding for all purposes absent manifest error.

(c)           Each Holder of a Normal MCAPS or a Treasury MCAPS, by its acceptance thereof, further covenants and agrees that to the extent and in the manner provided in Section 6.2 hereof and the provisions of the Collateral Agreement, but subject to the terms thereof, Proceeds of the Trust Preferred Securities or the Qualifying Treasury Securities, as applicable, on the Stock Purchase Date, shall be paid by the Collateral Agent to the Company in satisfaction of such Holder’s obligations under such Stock Purchase Contract and such Holder shall acquire no right, title or interest in such Proceeds.

(d)           Upon registration of transfer of a Certificate, the transferee shall be bound (without the necessity of any other action on the part of such transferee) by the terms of this Agreement, the Stock Purchase Contracts underlying such Certificate and the Collateral Agreement and the transferor shall be released from the obligations under this Agreement, the Stock Purchase Contracts underlying the Certificate so transferred and the Collateral Agreement.  The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of a Certificate, by its acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, to be bound by the provisions of this paragraph.

(e)           In any case where the Stock Purchase Date shall not be a Business Day (notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the MCAPS), the Stock Purchase Contracts shall not be performed and shall not be effected on such date, but the Stock Purchase Contracts shall be performed on the next preceding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Stock Purchase Date.

Section 6.2             Remarketing; Payment of Purchase Price.

(a)           The Company shall conduct a Remarketing of the Trust Preferred Securities in accordance with Article XIII of the Declaration of Trust and the Remarketing Agreement.

(ii)           The Stock Purchase Contract Agent shall give Holders of MCAPS, and the Company shall request that the MCAPS Depositary or its nominee give MCAPS Depositary Participants holding MCAPS and Separate Trust Preferred Securities, notice of a Remarketing at least 21 Business Days prior to any Remarketing Date.  Such notice will specify the information required to be specified in the notice pursuant to Section 13.2 of the Declaration of Trust.

(b)           Each Holder of Normal MCAPS shall have the right to satisfy such Holder’s obligations under the Stock Purchase Contract on the Stock Purchase Date with separate Qualifying Treasury Securities by notifying the Stock Purchase Contract Agent by presenting a

35

notice in substantially the form of Exhibit E hereto of its intention to settle with Qualifying Treasury Securities and surrendering the Normal MCAPS certificate on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day immediately preceding the beginning of any Remarketing Period and delivering Qualifying Treasury Securities having a principal amount equal to the Purchase Price under the related Stock Purchase Contracts to the Collateral Agent on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the first Business Day immediately preceding the beginning of any Remarketing Period.  Promptly following 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day immediately preceding the beginning of any Remarketing Period, the Stock Purchase Contract Agent shall notify the Collateral Agent and the Trustee of the receipt of such notices from Holders intending to make a Settlement with Qualifying Treasury Securities by use of a notice in substantially the form of Exhibit F hereto.

(i)            A Holder of a Normal MCAPS who has so notified the Stock Purchase Contract Agent of its intention to effect a Settlement with Qualifying Treasury Securities shall deliver the Qualifying Treasury Securities specified in Section 6.2(b) above to the Collateral Agent for deposit in the Collateral Account on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the first Business Day immediately preceding the beginning of any Remarketing Period.  Any securities or their proceeds received shall be paid or delivered, as the case may be, to the Company on the Stock Purchase Date in settlement of the Stock Purchase Contracts in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Collateral Agreement. 

(ii)           If a Holder of a Normal MCAPS does not notify the Stock Purchase Contract Agent of its intention to make a Settlement with Qualifying Treasury Securities in accordance with Section 6.2(b)(ii), or does notify the Stock Purchase Contract Agent in accordance with Section 6.2(b)(i) but fails to make such delivery as required by Section 6.2(b)(ii), such Holder shall be deemed to have consented to the disposition of the Pledged Trust Preferred Securities pursuant to the next applicable Remarketing. 

(iii)          As soon as practicable after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the first Business Day immediately preceding the beginning of any Remarketing Period, the Collateral Agent, based on Qualifying Treasury Securities received by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 6.2(b)(ii), shall promptly notify the Stock Purchase Contract Agent of the aggregate liquidation amount of Trust Preferred Securities to be tendered for purchase in the Remarketing in a notice pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Agreement.

(iv)          In the event of a Remarketing that is not Successful, (A) the Stock Purchase Date shall be deferred for a quarterly period, except in the case of a Failed Remarketing, in which case the Stock Purchase Date shall occur on May 31, 2013 (or the fifth scheduled Remarketing Settlement Date in the case of an Early Remarketing), and (B) if the Holders of MCAPS have delivered Qualifying Treasury Securities in order to effect Settlement with Qualifying Treasury Securities in accordance with Section 6.2(b)(ii), the Collateral Agent will promptly return the Qualifying Treasury Securities or their proceeds, as the case may be, that it has received with respect to the Settlement with

36

Qualifying Treasury Securities to the Stock Purchase Contract Agent for distribution to the applicable Holders of Normal MCAPS.

(v)           In the event of a Successful Remarketing, if the Holders of MCAPS have delivered Qualifying Treasury Securities in order to effect Settlement with Qualifying Treasury Securities, the Collateral Agent will cause the Securities Intermediary to effect the release of Pledged Trust Preferred Securities from the Pledge and the transfer of such Trust Preferred Securities to the Stock Purchase Contract Agent on behalf of the Holders free and clear of the Company’s security interest therein.  Upon receipt of such Trust Preferred Securities, the Stock Purchase Contract Agent shall promptly transfer the Trust Preferred Securities to the Holders.

(c)           The obligations of the Holders to pay the Purchase Price are non-recourse obligations and, except to the extent satisfied by Settlement with Qualifying Treasury Securities, are payable solely out of the Proceeds of any Collateral pledged to secure the obligations of the Holders, and in no event will the Holders be liable for any deficiency between the Proceeds of the disposition of Collateral and the Purchase Price.

(d)           The Company shall not be obligated to issue any Depositary Shares in respect of a Stock Purchase Contract or deliver any certificates therefor to the Holder of the related MCAPS unless the Company shall have received payment for the Depositary Shares to be purchased thereunder in the manner herein specified.

Section 6.3             Issuance of Depositary Shares.

(a)           Unless a Termination Event shall have occurred, on the Stock Purchase Date upon receipt of the aggregate Purchase Price payable on all Outstanding MCAPS, the Company shall issue and deposit with the Depositary for the Depositary Shares, for the benefit of the Holders of the Outstanding MCAPS, one or more certificates representing newly issued or treasury Depositary Shares (the “Depositary Receipts”) registered in the name of the Stock Purchase Contract Agent (or its nominee) as custodian for the Holders (such certificates for Depositary Shares, together with any dividends or distributions for which a record date and payment date for such dividend or distribution has occurred after the Stock Purchase Date, being hereinafter referred to as the “Stock Purchase Contract Settlement Fund”) to which the Holders are entitled hereunder, it being understood that in order for the Company to satisfy its obligations under this Section 6.3(a), the Company shall issue and deposit with the Preferred Stock Depositary shares of Preferred Stock and, pursuant to a Deposit Agreement, shall cause the Preferred Stock Depositary to issue and deposit such Depositary Receipts in respect of the Preferred Stock so deposited.

(b)           Subject to the foregoing, upon surrender of a Certificate to the Stock Purchase Contract Agent on or after the Stock Purchase Date together with settlement instructions thereon duly completed and executed, the Holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive forthwith in exchange therefor a certificate representing that number of newly issued Depositary Shares that such Holder is entitled to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article VI (after taking into account all MCAPS then held by such Holder), together with any dividends or distributions with respect to such shares constituting part of the Stock Purchase Contract Settlement Fund, but

37

without any interest thereon, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled.  Such shares shall be registered in the name of the Holder or the Holder’s designee as specified in the settlement instructions provided by the Holder to the Stock Purchase Contract Agent.  If any Depositary Shares issued in respect of a Stock Purchase Contract are to be registered to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate evidencing such Stock Purchase Contract is registered (but excluding any MCAPS Depositary or nominee thereof), no such registration shall be made unless the Person requesting such registration has paid any transfer and other taxes required by reason of such registration in a name other than that of the registered Holder of the Certificate evidencing such Stock Purchase Contract or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax either has been paid or is not payable.

(c)           The Stock Purchase Contract Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any Preferred Stock or Depositary Shares, or of any securities or property, that may at the time be issued or delivered with respect to any Stock Purchase Contract, and the Stock Purchase Contract Agent makes no representation with respect thereto.  The Stock Purchase Contract Agent shall not be responsible for any failure of the Company to cause to issue, transfer or deliver any Depositary Shares pursuant to a Stock Purchase Contract or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Article VI.

Section 6.4             Termination Event; Notice.

(b)           Upon and after the occurrence of a Termination Event, the MCAPS shall thereafter represent the right to receive the Trust Preferred Securities or the Qualifying Treasury Securities, as the case may be, forming part of such MCAPS, in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.4 of the Collateral Agreement.  Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Company shall promptly but in no event later than five Business Days thereafter give written notice of such event to the Stock Purchase Contract Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Holders, at their addresses as they appear in the Securities Register.

Section 6.5             Charges and Taxes.

The Company shall pay all stock transfer and similar taxes attributable to the initial issuance and delivery of the Depositary Shares pursuant to the Stock Purchase Contracts; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any such tax or taxes that may be payable in respect of any exchange of or substitution for a Certificate evidencing a MCAPS or any issuance of a Depositary Share in a name other than that of the registered Holder of a Certificate surrendered in respect of the MCAPS evidenced thereby, other than in the name of the Stock Purchase Contract Agent, as custodian for such Holder, and the Company shall not be

38

required to issue or deliver such share certificates or Certificates unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the transfer or issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

Section 6.6             Contract Payments.

(a)           Subject to Section 6.7, the Company shall pay, on each Payment Date, the Contract Payments payable in respect of each Stock Purchase Contract to the Person in whose name a Certificate is registered at the close of business on the Record Date relating to such Payment Date.  The Contract Payments will be payable at the office of the Stock Purchase Contract Agent in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City maintained for that purpose.  If the book-entry system for the MCAPS has been terminated, the Contract Payments will be payable, at the option of the Company, by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto at such Person’s address as it appears on the Securities Register, or by wire transfer to the account designated by such Person by a prior written notice to the Stock Purchase Contract Agent.  If any date on which Contract Payments are to be made is not a Business Day, then payment of the Contract Payments payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest in respect of such delay).  The Contract Payments will accrue from and including May 17, 2007 or from and including the most recent Payment Date on which Contract Payments have been paid or duly provided for (subject to deferral as specified in Section 6.7) to but excluding the next succeeding Payment Date.  Contract Payments will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

(b)           Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Company’s obligation to pay future Contract Payments (including any accrued Contract Payments) shall cease.

(d)           The Company’s obligations with respect to Contract Payments, if any, will be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the Company’s obligations under any Senior Debt.

(e)           In the event of (A) any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, composition or other similar proceeding relating to the Company, its creditors or its property, (B) any proceeding for the liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the Company, voluntary or involuntary, whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, (C) any assignment by the Company for the benefit of creditors, or (D) any other marshalling of the assets of the Company:

(i)            all Senior Debt (including any interest thereon accruing after the commencement of any such proceedings) shall first be paid in full before any payment or distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any Holder of MCAPS in respect of Contract Payments;

39

(ii)           any payment or distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property that would otherwise (but for these subordination provisions) be payable or deliverable in respect of Contract Payments shall be paid or delivered directly to the holders of Senior Debt in accordance with the priorities then existing among such holders until all Senior Debt (including any interest thereon accruing after the commencement of any such proceedings) shall have been paid in full;

(iii)          after payment in full of all sums owing with respect to Senior Debt, the Holders of MCAPS, together with the holders of any obligations of the Company ranking on a parity with the Contract Payments, shall be entitled to be paid from the remaining assets of the Company the amounts at the time due and owing on account of unpaid Contract Payments and interest thereon and such other obligations before any payment or other distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made on account of any capital stock of the Company or any obligations of the Company ranking junior to the Company’s obligations to make Contract Payments under the Stock Purchase Contracts and such other obligations; and

(iv)          in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of any character or any security, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be received by the Stock Purchase Contract Agent or any Holder of MCAPS in contravention of any of the terms hereof such payment or distribution or security shall be received in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered and transferred back to the transferor for distribution, or to the holders of the Senior Debt at the time outstanding in accordance with the priorities then existing among such holders for application to the payment of all Senior Debt remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all such Senior Debt in full.  In the event of the failure of the Stock Purchase Contract Agent or any Holder of MCAPS to endorse or assign any such payment, distribution or security, each holder of Senior Debt is hereby irrevocably authorized to endorse or assign the same.

(f)            For purposes of Sections 6.6(d) through (p), the words “cash, securities or other property” shall not be deemed to include shares of stock of the Company as reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other Person provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment, the payment of which is subordinated at least to the extent provided in Sections 6.6(d) through (p) with respect to such Contract Payments on the MCAPS to the payment of all Senior Debt that may at the time be outstanding; provided that (i) the indebtedness or guarantee of indebtedness, as the case may be, that constitutes Senior Debt is assumed by the Person, if any, resulting from any such reorganization or readjustment, and (ii) the rights of the holders of the Senior Debt are not, without the consent of each such holder adversely affected thereby, altered by such reorganization or readjustment.

(g)           Any failure by the Company to make any payment on or perform any other obligation under Senior Debt, other than any indebtedness incurred by the Company or assumed or guaranteed, directly or indirectly, by the Company for money borrowed (or any deferral, renewal, extension or refunding thereof) or any indebtedness or obligation as to which the provisions of Sections 6.6(d) through (p) shall have been waived by the Company in the instrument or instruments by which the Company incurred, assumed, guaranteed or otherwise

40

created such indebtedness or obligation, shall not be deemed a default or event of default if (i) the Company shall be disputing its obligation to make such payment or perform such obligation and (ii) either (A) no final judgment relating to such dispute shall have been issued against the Company that is in full force and effect and is not subject to further review, including a judgment that has become final by reason of the expiration of the time within which a party may seek further appeal or review, or (B) in the event a judgment that is subject to further review or appeal has been issued, the Company shall in good faith be prosecuting an appeal or other proceeding for review and a stay of execution shall have been obtained pending such appeal or review.

(h)           Subject to the irrevocable payment in full of all Senior Debt, the Holders of the MCAPS shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with the holders of all obligations of the Company that by their express terms are subordinated to Senior Debt of the Company to the same extent as payment of the Contract Payments in respect of the Stock Purchase Contracts underlying the MCAPS is subordinated and  that are entitled to like rights of subrogation) to the rights of the holders of Senior Debt to receive payments or distributions of cash, securities or other property of the Company applicable to the Senior Debt until all such Contract Payments owing on the MCAPS shall be paid in full, and as between the Company, its creditors other than holders of such Senior Debt and the Holders, no such payment or distribution made to the holders of Senior Debt by virtue of Sections 6.6(d) through (p) that otherwise would have been made to the Holders shall be deemed to be a payment by the Company on account of such Senior Debt, it being understood that the provisions of Sections 6.6(d) through (p) are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders, on the one hand, and the holders of Senior Debt, on the other hand.

(i)            Nothing contained in Sections 6.6(d) through (p) or elsewhere in this Agreement or in the MCAPS is intended to or shall impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Debt and the Holders, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders such Contract Payments on the MCAPS 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 and creditors of the Company other than the holders of Senior Debt, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Stock Purchase Contract Agent or any Holder from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Agreement, subject to the rights, if any, under Sections 6.6(d) through (p), of the holders of Senior Debt in respect of cash, securities or other property of the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

(j)            Upon payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in Sections 6.6(d) through (p), the Stock Purchase Contract Agent and the Holders shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which any such dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization proceeding affecting the affairs of the Company is pending or upon a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, conservator, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidating trustee or Stock Purchase Contract Agent or other Person making any payment or distribution, delivered to the Stock Purchase Contract Agent or to the Holders, for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of the Senior Debt and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to Sections 6.6(d) through (p).

(k)           The Stock Purchase Contract Agent shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing himself to be a holder of Senior Debt (or a trustee or representative on behalf of such holder) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of Senior Debt or a trustee or representative on behalf of any such holder or holders.  In the event that the Stock Purchase Contract Agent determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Debt to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to Section 6.6(d) through (p), the Stock Purchase Contract Agent may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Stock Purchase Contract Agent as to the amount of Senior Debt 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 Sections 6.6(d) through (p), and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Stock Purchase Contract Agent may defer payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment.

(l)            Nothing contained in Sections 6.6(d) through (p) shall affect the obligations of the Company to make, or prevent the Company from making, payment of the Contract Payments, except as otherwise provided in Sections 6.6(d) through (p).

(m)          Each Holder of MCAPS, by its acceptance thereof, authorizes and directs the Stock Purchase Contract Agent on its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in Section 6.6(d) through (p) and appoints the Stock Purchase Contract Agent its attorney-in-fact, as the case may be, for any and all such purposes.

(n)           The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Stock Purchase Contract Agent of any fact known to the Company that would prohibit the making of any payment of moneys to or by the Stock Purchase Contract Agent in respect of the MCAPS pursuant to the provisions of this Section.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.6(d) through (p) or any other provisions of this Agreement, the Stock Purchase Contract Agent shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment of moneys to or by the Stock Purchase Contract Agent, or the taking of any other action by the Stock Purchase Contract Agent, unless and until the Stock Purchase Contract Agent shall have received written notice thereof mailed or delivered to the Stock Purchase Contract Agent at its Corporate Trust Services department from the Company, any Holder, or the holder or representative of any Senior Debt; provided that if at least two Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any such moneys may become payable for any purpose, the Stock Purchase Contract Agent shall not have received with respect to such moneys the notice provided for in this Section, then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Stock Purchase Contract Agent shall have full power and authority to receive such moneys and to apply the same to the purpose 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 or on or after such date.

(o)           The Stock Purchase Contract Agent in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights specified in this Section with respect to any Senior Debt at the time held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Debt and nothing in this Agreement shall deprive the Stock Purchase Contract Agent of any of its rights as such holder.

42

(p)           No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Debt to enforce the subordination herein shall at any time or in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement, regardless of any knowledge thereof that any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with.

(q)           Nothing in this Section 6.6 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Stock Purchase Contract Agent under or pursuant to Section 8.7.

(r)            With respect to the holders of Senior Debt, (i) the duties and obligations of the Stock Purchase Contract Agent shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement; (ii) the Stock Purchase Contract Agent shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall, acting in good faith, mistakenly pay over or distribute to the Holders or to the Company or any other Person cash, securities or other property to which any holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled by virtue of this Section 6.6 or otherwise; (iii) no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Stock Purchase Contract Agent; and (iv) the Stock Purchase Contract Agent shall not be deemed to be a fiduciary as to such holders.

Section 6.7             Deferral of Contract Payments.

(a)           The Company shall have the right (which will be exercised if so directed by the SEC), at any time prior to the Stock Purchase Date, to defer the payment of any or all of the Contract Payments otherwise payable on any Payment Date, but only if the Company shall give the Holders and the Stock Purchase Contract Agent written notice of its election to defer each such deferred Contract Payment (specifying the amount to be deferred) at least ten Business Days prior to the earlier of (i) the next succeeding Payment Date or (ii) the date the company is required to give notice of any Record Date or Payment Date with respect to the payment of such Contract Payments to the New York Stock Exchange, or any other national securities exchange, automated interdealer quotation system or other applicable self regulatory organization or to Holders of MCAPS, but in any event not less than one Business Day prior to such Record Date. Any Contract Payments so deferred shall, to the extent permitted by law, accrue interest thereon at the rate originally applicable to the Debentures (calculated on the same basis as originally applicable to the Debentures), compounding on each succeeding Payment Date, until paid in full (such deferred installments of Contract Payments, if any, together with the additional Contract Payments, if any, accrued thereon, being referred to herein as the “Deferred Contract Payments”).  Deferred Contract Payments, if any, shall be due on the next succeeding Payment Date except to the extent that payment is deferred pursuant to this Section 6.7.  No Contract Payments may be deferred to a date that is after the Stock Purchase Date and no such deferral period may end other than on a Payment Date.  If the Stock Purchase Contracts are terminated upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Holder’s right to receive any Contract Payments and any Deferred Contract Payments will terminate.

(b)           In the event that the Company elects to defer the payment of Contract Payments until a Payment Date prior to the Stock Purchase Date, then all Deferred Contract Payments, if any, shall be payable to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the Record Date immediately preceding such Payment Date.

43

(c)           In the event that the Company elects to defer the payment of Contract Payments on the Stock Purchase Contracts and such deferral is continuing on the Stock Purchase Date, each Holder will receive on the Stock Purchase Date in lieu of a cash payment, in addition to the Depositary Shares to be issued pursuant to Section 6.3, subordinated notes of the Company (“Additional Subordinated Notes”) that will (i) have a principal amount equal to the aggregate amount of Deferred Contract Payments at the Stock Purchase Date, (ii) mature on the later of June 2, 2014 and five years after the first Payment Date on which any of such Deferred Contract Payments were payable, (iii) bear interest at the rate per annum equal to the originally applicable rate of interest on the Debentures (subject to deferral on the same basis as the Contract Payments; provided that the reference in clause (i)(2) of Section 6.7(d) to the beginning of the deferral period shall be deemed to refer to the beginning of the deferral period with respect to the Contract Payments), (iv) be subordinate and rank junior in right of payment to all of the Company’s Senior Debt on the same basis as the Debentures and (v) be redeemable at the option of the Company at any time or from time to time prior to their stated maturity at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.

In the event the Company exercises its option to defer the payment of Contract Payments then, until the earlier of (x) the Termination Date or (y) the date on which the Company shall have either paid all Deferred Contract Payments in the manner set forth in Section 6.7(c) to the Stock Purchase Contract Agent in cash or repaid all amounts outstanding on the Additional Subordinated Notes, the Company shall not (A) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any shares of its capital stock, including Preferred Stock; (B) make any payment of principal of or interest or premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt security of the Company that ranks pari passu in all respects with or junior in interest to the Debentures; and (C) make any guarantee payments with respect to any guarantee by the Company of the debt securities of any subsidiary of the Company that by its terms ranks pari passu in all respects with or junior in interest to the Guarantee (as such term is defined in the Declaration of Trust), other than, in each case: (a) dividends or distributions in the form of common stock of the Company; (b) payments under the Trust Guarantee (as such term is defined in the Declaration of Trust); (c) any declaration of a dividend in connection with the implementation of a shareholders’ 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; (d) purchases of common stock related to the issuance of common stock or rights under any of the Company’s benefit plans; (e) payments of interest on any of the Company’s debt securities that rank on a parity with (“Parity Debt Securities”) or junior in interest to the Debentures or payments under any guarantee of the Company of the debt securities of any subsidiary of the Company if such guarantee ranks on a parity with (“Parity Guarantees”) or junior in interest to the Debentures in respect of interest payments on debt securities of any subsidiary of the Company, in each case ratably and in proportion to the respective amount of (x) accrued and unpaid interest on such Parity Debt Securities or guaranteed by such Parity Guarantees, on the one hand, and (y) accrued and unpaid interest on the Debentures (including compounded amounts and all amounts of principal and interest on any Additional Subordinated Notes), on the other hand; and (f) payment of interest on the Debentures in Additional Subordinated Notes in connection with a Failed Remarketing.

44

Section 6.8             Rights of Holders of Treasury MCAPS to Receive Excess Proceeds.

The Stock Purchase Contract Agent shall pay, solely out of the funds received from the Collateral Agent for such purpose pursuant to Section 5.5 of the Collateral Agreement, on each Quarterly Date, an amount in cash equal to the excess of the net proceeds received by the Collateral Agent upon the maturity of the related Pledged Treasury Securities over the net purchase price of the Qualifying Treasury Securities purchased therewith pursuant to Section 5.5 of the Collateral Agreement to the Person in whose name a Treasury MCAPS Certificate is registered at the close of business on the Record Date relating to such Quarterly Date.  Such amounts will be payable at the office of the Stock Purchase Contract Agent in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City maintained for that purpose.  If the book entry system for the MCAPS has been terminated, such payments will be payable, at the option of the Company, by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto at such Person’s address as it appears on the Security Register, or by wire transfer to the account designated by such Person by a prior written notice to the Stock Purchase Contract Agent.

CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION
OF STOCK PURCHASE CONTRACT AGENT

This is one of the Normal MCAPS Certificates referred to in the within mentioned Stock Purchase Contract Agreement.

(FORM OF REVERSE OF NORMAL MCAPS CERTIFICATE)

Each Stock Purchase Contract evidenced hereby is governed by a Stock Purchase Contract Agreement, dated as of May 17, 2007 (as may be supplemented from time to time, the “Stock Purchase Contract Agreement”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as Stock Purchase Contract Agent (including its successors hereunder, the “Stock Purchase Contract Agent”), to which Stock Purchase Contract Agreement and supplemental agreements thereto reference, is hereby made for a description of the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Stock Purchase Contract Agent, the Company, and the Holders and of the terms upon which the Normal MCAPS Certificates are, and are to be, executed and delivered.

Each Stock Purchase Contract evidenced hereby obligates the Holder of this Normal MCAPS Certificate to purchase, and the Company to sell, on the Stock Purchase Date at a price equal to $1,000 (the “Purchase Price”), one depositary share (“Depositary Share”) of the Company, representing 1/100^th of a share of the Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series H, $100,000 liquidation preference per share (the “Preferred Stock”), of the Company, unless on or prior to the Stock Purchase Date there shall have occurred a Termination Event with respect to the MCAPS of which such Stock Purchase Contract is a part shall have occurred.

In accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement, the Holder of this Normal MCAPS Certificate may pay the Purchase Price for the Depositary Share purchased pursuant to each Stock Purchase Contract evidenced hereby by effecting a Settlement with Qualifying Treasury Securities or from the proceeds of or from a Remarketing of the related Pledged Trust Preferred Securities. A Holder of Normal MCAPS who does not, on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day immediately preceding the beginning of any Remarketing Period, notify the Stock Purchase Contract Agent of its intention to effect a Settlement with Qualifying Treasury Securities, or who does so notify the Stock Purchase Contract Agent but fails to make an effective Settlement with Qualifying Treasury Securities on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the first Business Day immediately preceding the beginning of any Remarketing Period shall pay the Purchase Price for the Depositary Share to be delivered under the related Stock Purchase Contract from the proceeds of the sale of the related Pledged Trust Preferred Securities held by the Collateral Agent in the Remarketing. Such sale will be made by the Remarketing Agent pursuant to the terms of the Remarketing Agreement on the applicable Remarketing Date.

Upon the occurrence of a final Failed Remarketing, the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Company, will exercise its rights as a secured party with respect to the Pledged Trust Preferred Securities underlying the Normal MCAPS, and may, among other things, (A) retain such Trust Preferred Securities in full satisfaction of the Holders’ obligations under the Stock Purchase Contracts or (B) sell such Trust Preferred Securities in one or more public or private sales or otherwise. In the event of a Failed Remarketing, the Company will issue a note, payable on the later of June 2, 2014 and five years after the first Payment Date on which any Deferred Contract Payments were payable and bearing interest at the rate of 5.707% per annum, in the amount of any accrued and unpaid interest on the Debentures underlying such Pledged Trust Preferred Securities as of the Stock Purchase Date, to the Stock Purchase Contract Agent for delivery to the Holders of such Trust Preferred Securities.

The Stock Purchase Contract Agent will be entitled to exercise the voting and any other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Trust Preferred Securities, but only to the extent instructed in writing by the Holders. Upon receipt of notice of any meeting at which holders of Trust Preferred Securities are entitled to vote or upon any solicitation of consents, waivers or proxies of holders of Trust Preferred Securities, the Stock Purchase Contract Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, mail, first class, postage pre-paid, to the Normal MCAPS Holders a notice:

(1)           containing such information as is contained in the notice or solicitation;

(2)           stating that each Holder on the Record Date set by the Stock Purchase Contract Agent therefor (which, to the extent possible, shall be the same date as the record date for determining the holders of Trust Preferred Securities, as the case may be, entitled to vote) shall be entitled to instruct the Stock Purchase Contract Agent as to the exercise of the voting rights pertaining to the Trust Preferred Securities underlying such Holder’s Normal MCAPS; and

(3)           stating the manner in which such instructions may be given.

Upon the written request of the Normal MCAPS Holders on such Record Date received by the Stock Purchase Contract Agent at least six days prior to such meeting, the Stock Purchase Contract Agent shall endeavor insofar as practicable to vote or cause to be voted, in accordance with the instructions set forth in such requests, the maximum aggregate liquidation amount of Trust Preferred Securities, as the case may be, as to which any particular voting instructions are received. In the absence of specific instructions from the Holder of a Normal MCAPS, the Stock Purchase Contract Agent shall abstain from voting the Trust Preferred Securities evidenced by such Normal MCAPS. The Company hereby agrees, if applicable, to solicit Holders of Normal MCAPS to timely instruct the Stock Purchase Contract Agent in order to enable the Stock Purchase Contract Agent to vote the Trust Preferred Securities. The Holders of Normal MCAPS shall have no voting or other rights in respect of the Depositary Shares or the Preferred Stock.

Upon the occurrence of a Successful Remarketing, the Collateral Agent shall, in accordance with the Collateral Agreement, cause the Securities Intermediary to transfer the Pledged Trust Preferred Securities upon confirmation of deposit by the Remarketing Agent of the proceeds of such Successful Remarketing in the Collateral Account. The Remarketing Agent will deduct a remarketing fee in accordance with the terms of the Remarketing Agreement. With respect to Pledged Trust Preferred Securities upon a Successful Remarketing, any proceeds of the Remarketing in excess of the aggregate Purchase Price applicable to the related Normal MCAPS plus the portion of the Remarketing Fee attributable to such Pledged Trust Preferred Securities will be remitted to the Stock Purchase Contract Agent for payment to the Holders of the related Normal MCAPS.

The Normal MCAPS Certificates are issuable only in registered form and only in denominations of a single Normal MCAPS and any integral multiple thereof. The transfer of any Normal MCAPS Certificate will be registered and Normal MCAPS Certificates may be exchanged as provided in the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement. The Security Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer

documents permitted by the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement. No service charge shall be required for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company and the Stock Purchase Contract Agent may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. Except as provided in the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement, for so long as the Stock Purchase Contract underlying a Normal MCAPS remains in effect, such Normal MCAPS shall not be separable into its constituent parts, and the rights and obligations of the Holder of such Normal MCAPS in respect of the Trust Preferred Security and Stock Purchase Contract constituting such Normal MCAPS may be transferred and exchanged only as a Normal MCAPS.

Subject to the conditions set forth in the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement, a Holder may, at any time on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day immediately preceding the beginning of any Remarketing Period, effect a Collateral Substitution and separate the Pledged Trust Preferred Securities from the related Stock Purchase Contracts in respect of all or a portion of such Holder’s Normal MCAPS by substituting for such Pledged Trust Preferred Securities, Qualifying Treasury Securities or portions thereof in an aggregate liquidation amount at maturity equal to the aggregate liquidation amount of such Pledged Trust Preferred Securities.

The Company shall pay, on each Payment Date, the Contract Payments payable in respect of each Stock Purchase Contract to the Person in whose name the Normal MCAPS Certificate evidencing such Stock Purchase Contract is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such Payment Date.

If the Stock Purchase Contracts are terminated upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Holder’s right to receive Contract Payments, if any, and any Deferred Contract Payments, will terminate.

The Stock Purchase Contracts and all obligations and rights of the Company and the Holders thereunder, including, without limitation, the rights of the Holders to receive and the obligation of the Company to pay any Contract Payments, shall immediately and automatically terminate, without the necessity of any notice or action by any Holder, the Stock Purchase Contract Agent or the Company, if, on or prior to the Stock Purchase Date, a Termination Event shall have occurred. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Company shall promptly but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter give written notice to the Stock Purchase Contract Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Holders, at their addresses as they appear in the Securities Register.

(FORM OF REVERSE OF TREASURY MCAPS CERTIFICATE)

Each Stock Purchase Contract evidenced hereby is governed by a Stock Purchase Contract Agreement, dated as of May 17, 2007 (as may be supplemented from time to time, the “Stock Purchase Contract Agreement”) between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as Stock Purchase Contract Agent (including its successors thereunder, herein called the “Stock Purchase Contract Agent”), to which the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement and supplemental agreements thereto reference, is hereby made for a description of the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Stock Purchase Contract Agent, the Company and the Holders and of the terms upon which the Treasury MCAPS Certificates are, and are to be, executed and delivered.

Each Stock Purchase Contract evidenced hereby obligates the Holder of this Treasury MCAPS Certificate to purchase, and the Company to sell, on the Stock Purchase Date, at a price equal to $1,000 (the “Purchase Price”), one depositary share (“Depositary Share”), representing 1/100^th of a share of the Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series H, $100,000 liquidation preference per share (the “Preferred Stock”), of the Company, unless on or prior to the Stock Purchase Date there shall have occurred a Termination Event with respect to the MCAPS of which such Stock Purchase Contract is a part shall have occurred.

The Company shall not be obligated to issue a depositary share in respect of a Stock Purchase Contract or deliver any certificates therefor to the Holder unless it shall have received payment of the aggregate purchase price for the depositary share to be purchased thereunder in the manner set forth in the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement.

The Treasury MCAPS Certificates are issuable only in registered form and only in denominations of a single Treasury MCAPS and any integral multiple thereof. The transfer of any Treasury MCAPS Certificate will be registered and Treasury MCAPS Certificates may be exchanged as provided in the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement. The Security Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents permitted by the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement. No service charge shall be required for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company and the Stock Purchase Contract Agent may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. Except as provided in the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement, for so long as the Stock Purchase Contract underlying a Treasury MCAPS remains in effect, such Treasury MCAPS shall not be separable into its constituent parts, and the rights and obligations of the Holder of such Treasury MCAPS in respect of the Qualifying Treasury Security and the Stock Purchase Contract constituting such Treasury MCAPS may be transferred and exchanged only as a Treasury MCAPS.

If the Stock Purchase Contracts are terminated upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Holder’s right to receive Contract Payments, if any, and any Deferred Contract Payments, will terminate.

The Stock Purchase Contracts and all obligations and rights of the Company and the Holders thereunder, including, without limitation, the rights of the Holders to receive and the obligation of the Company to pay any Contract Payments, shall immediately and automatically terminate, without the necessity of any notice or action by any Holder, the Stock Purchase Contract Agent or the Company, if, on or prior to the Stock Purchase Date, a Termination Event shall have occurred. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Company shall promptly but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter give written notice to the Stock Purchase Contract Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Holders, at their addresses as they appear in the Security Register. Upon and after the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Collateral Agent shall release the Pledged Treasury Securities (as defined in the Collateral Agreement) in accordance with the provisions of the Collateral Agreement. A Treasury MCAPS shall thereafter represent the right to receive the interest in the Qualifying Treasury Security forming a part of

such Treasury MCAPS, in accordance with the terms of and except as set forth in, the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement and the Collateral Agreement.
