Interest shall be computed on the basis of (i) a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months with respect to any Fixed Rate Period and (ii) a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed with respect to any Floating Rate Period. Accrued interest that is not paid on the applicable Interest Payment Date (after giving effect to the adjustments described in the last sentence of Section 2.3(b)), including interest deferred pursuant to Section 2.4, shall bear Additional Interest, to the extent permitted by law, compounded on each subsequent Interest Payment Date from the relevant Interest Payment Date (i) at the annual rate of 8.95% during the Fixed Rate Period; and (ii) at the prevailing Three-Month LIBOR Rate plus 4.19% during the Floating Rate Period.

If any Interest Payment Date scheduled on or prior to the regularly scheduled Interest Payment Date on September 15, 2063 occurs on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of interest for such Interest Payment Date shall be made (or such interest shall be made available for payment) on the next Business Day without any interest or other payment in respect of the delay; provided that for any Interest Payment Date scheduled after the regularly scheduled Interest Payment Date on September 15, 2063, if that next Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, the Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day.

All percentages resulting from any calculations referred to in this Fourth Supplemental Indenture shall be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one ten-thousandth of a percentage point, with five hundred-thousandths of a percentage point being rounded upwards (e.g., 6.87655% (or .0687655) would be rounded to 6.8766% (or .068766)), and all U.S. dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculations shall be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent or more being rounded upwards).

(d) To Whom Is Interest Payable. Interest shall be payable to the Person in whose name the Junior Subordinated Debentures are registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date next preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date, except that interest payable on the Maturity Date shall be paid to the Person to whom principal is paid. The Regular Record Dates for the Junior Subordinated Debentures shall be the date 15 calendar days, whether or not a Business Day, before the relevant Interest Payment Date. Interest shall be payable at the office or agency of the Corporation maintained for such purpose in the City of New York and at any other office or agency maintained by the Corporation for such purpose; provided that at the option of the Corporation payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or by wire transfer to such account as may have been appropriately designated by such Person. The principal of and interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures payable on the Maturity Date shall be made against presentation of the Junior Subordinated Debentures at the office or agency of the Corporation maintained for that purpose in the City of New York.

Section 2.4 Interest Deferral.

(a) Option to Defer Interest Payments. The following provisions shall apply to the Junior Subordinated Indentures in lieu of Section 3.12 and the first paragraph of Section 10.7 of the Indenture:

(i) The Corporation shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to defer the payment of interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures for one or more consecutive Interest Periods that do not exceed 40 consecutive Interest Periods; provided that no Deferral Period shall extend beyond the Maturity Date or the earlier redemption in full of the Junior Subordinated Debentures. Upon termination of any Deferral Period and upon the payment of all deferred interest (including, Additional Interest thereon) then due on any Interest Payment Date, the Corporation may elect to begin a new Deferral Period pursuant to this Section 2.4.

(ii) Except as provided in Section 2.4(c), at the end of any Deferral Period, the Corporation shall pay all deferred interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures (together with Additional Interest thereon, if any, at the rate specified for the Junior Subordinated Debentures) to the extent permitted by applicable law, to the Persons in whose names the Junior Subordinated Debentures are registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date with respect to the Interest Payment Date at the end of such Deferral Period.

(iii) The Corporation may elect to pay interest on any Interest Payment Date during any Deferral Period to the extent permitted by Section 2.4(b).

(b) Payment of Deferred Interest. The Corporation shall not pay deferred interest (including Additional Interest thereon) on the Junior Subordinated Debentures on any Interest Payment Date during any Deferral Period prior to the Maturity Date or at any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing from any source other than Eligible Proceeds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Corporation may pay current interest during a Deferral Period from any available funds and (ii) if the Federal Reserve disapproves of the Corporation’s sale of Qualifying APM Securities, the Corporation may pay deferred interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures with cash from any source and if the Federal Reserve disapproves of the use of proceeds of the Corporation’s sale of Qualifying APM Securities to pay deferred interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures, the Corporation may use the proceeds for other purposes and continue to defer interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures. To the extent that the Corporation applies proceeds from the sale of Qualifying APM Securities to pay interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures, such proceeds shall be allocated first to deferred payments of interest (including Additional Interest thereon) in chronological order based on the date each payment was first deferred; provided that no such proceeds shall be applied to deferred interest payments (including Additional Interest thereon) to the extent such proceeds exceed the amounts described in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 2.6(a) until all other deferred interest payments (and Additional Interest thereon) with respect to such Deferral Period have been paid in full. The payment of interest from any other source shall be applied to current or deferred interest as directed by the Corporation and notified to the Trustee prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. To the extent any payment allocable to any installment of interest (including Additional

Interest thereon) is insufficient to pay such installment in full, such payment shall be applied pro rata to the outstanding Junior Subordinated Debentures. If the Corporation has outstanding Parity Securities under which it is obligated to sell Qualifying APM Securities and apply the net proceeds to the payment of deferred interest or distributions, then on any date and for any period the amount of net proceeds received by the Corporation from those sales and available for payment of the deferred interest and distributions shall be applied to the Junior Subordinated Debentures and those Parity Securities to the extent such net proceeds are Eligible Proceeds with respect to those Parity Securities on a pro rata basis up to the Maximum Share Number and the Common Equity Issuance Cap or Preferred Stock Issuance Cap (or comparable provisions in the instruments governing those Parity Securities) in proportion to the total amounts that are due on the Junior Subordinated Debentures and such Parity Securities, or on such other basis as the Federal Reserve may approve.

(c) Business Combination Exception. If the Corporation engages in any merger, consolidation, amalgamation or conveyance, transfer or lease of assets substantially as any entirety to any other Person (a “Business Combination”), where immediately after the consummation of such transaction more than 50% of the voting stock of the Person formed by such transaction, or the Person that is the surviving entity of such transaction, or the Person to whom such properties and assets are conveyed, transferred or leased in such transaction, is owned by the shareholders of the other party to such transaction, then Section 2.4(b) and Section 2.6 shall not apply to any Deferral Period that is terminated on the next Interest Payment Date following the date of consummation of such transaction (or, if later, at any time within 90 days following the date of consummation of such transaction). The settlement of all deferred interest, whether it occurs on an Interest Payment Date or another date, shall immediately terminate the Deferral Period. The Corporation shall establish a Special Record Date for the payment of any deferred interest pursuant to this Section 2.4(c) on a date other than an Interest Payment Date.

(d) Notice of Deferral. The Corporation shall give written notice of its election to begin or extend any Deferral Period (i) if the Property Trustee is not the sole Holder or a Holder of the Junior Subordinated Debentures, to the Holders of the Junior Subordinated Debentures and the Trustee at least one Business Day prior to the next succeeding Interest Payment Date or (ii) if the Property Trustee is the sole Holder of the Junior Subordinated Debentures, to the Property Trustee, the Delaware Trustee and the Trustee at least one Business Day prior to the earlier of (A) the next Distribution Date or (B) the date the Property Trustee is required to give notice to holders of the Capital Securities of the record or payment date for such Distribution; provided that the Corporation is required to give the Holders of the Junior Subordinated Debentures notice of its election of such Deferral Period no more than 15 Business Days (or such other period as may be specified by the Federal Reserve) before the next Interest Payment Date.

Section 2.5 Dividend and Other Payment Stoppages.

(a) During Deferral Period. So long as any Junior Subordinated Debentures remain Outstanding, if the Corporation has given notice of its election to defer interest payments on the Junior Subordinated Debentures but the related Deferral Period has not yet commenced or a Deferral Period is continuing or there has occurred and is continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Junior Subordinated Debentures, or the Corporation is in default regarding its payment of any obligation under the Guarantee Agreement, the Corporation shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary to:

(i) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any shares of capital stock of the Corporation;

(ii) make any payment of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, or repay, repurchase or redeem any Parity Securities or any debt securities or guarantees of the Corporation that rank junior in interest upon liquidation to the Junior Subordinated Debentures; or

(iii) make any guarantee payments regarding any guarantee by the Corporation of the junior subordinated debentures of any Subsidiary of the Corporation if the guarantee ranks junior in interest to the Junior Subordinated Debentures;

provided, however, the restrictions in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above do not apply to: (A) any purchase, redemption or other acquisition of shares of capital stock of the Corporation in connection with (1) any employment contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of any one or more employees, officers, directors, consultants or independent contractors, (2) a dividend reinvestment or stockholder purchase plan, or (3) the issuance of capital stock of the Corporation, or securities convertible into or exercisable for such capital stock, as consideration in an acquisition transaction entered into prior to the applicable Deferral Period; (B) any exchange, redemption or conversion of any class or series of the capital stock of the Corporation or of any of its Subsidiaries for any other class or series of the Corporation’s capital stock, or of any class or series of the Corporation’s indebtedness for any class or series of the Corporation’s capital stock; (C) any purchase of fractional interests in shares of the Corporation’s capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such capital stock or the securities being converted or exchanged; (D) any declaration of a dividend in connection with any stockholder rights plan, or the issuance of rights, stock or other property under any stockholder rights plan, or the redemption or purchase of rights pursuant thereto; (E) any payment by the Corporation under the Guarantee Agreement; (F) any dividend in the form of stock, warrants, options or other rights where the dividend stock or stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants, options or other rights is the same stock as that on which the dividend is being paid or ranks equally with or junior to such stock; (G) any payment during a Deferral Period of current or deferred interest in respect of Parity Securities that is made pro rata to the amounts due on such Parity Securities and on the Junior Subordinated Debentures, provided that such payments are made in accordance with Section 2.4(b) to the extent it applies, and any payment of deferred interest on Parity Securities that, if not made, would cause the Corporation to breach the terms of the instrument governing such Parity Securities; (H) any payments of interest on Parity Securities in additional Parity Securities and any repurchase of Parity Securities in exchange for preferred stock or common stock, in each case in connection with a failed remarketing or similar event; or (I) any repayment or redemption of a security necessary to avoid a breach of the instrument governing the same. The distribution restrictions and exceptions in this Section 2.5 shall be in lieu of the distribution restrictions and exceptions in Section 3.12 of the Indenture.

(b) Additional Limitation Upon Deferral Lasting Over One Year. If any Deferral Period lasts longer than one year, neither the Corporation nor any Subsidiary of the Corporation shall repurchase or acquire any securities ranking junior to or pari passu with any Qualifying APM Securities the proceeds of which were used to settle deferred interest during the relevant Deferral Period before the first anniversary of the date on which all deferred interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures has been paid, subject to the exceptions listed in clauses (A) through (I) of the proviso to Section 2.5(a); provided, however, if the Corporation is involved in a Business Combination where immediately after its consummation more than 50% of the voting stock of the Person formed by such Business Combination, or the Person that is the surviving entity of such Business Combination, or the Person to whom such properties and assets are conveyed, transferred or leased in such Business Combination, is owned by the shareholders of the other party to such Business Combination, then the limitation set forth in this Section 2.5(b) shall not apply to any Deferral Period that is terminated on the next Interest Payment Date following the date of consummation of such Business Combination (or, if later, at any time within 90 calendar days following the date of the consummation of such Business Combination).

Section 2.6 Alternative Payment Mechanism. (a) Immediately following any APM Commencement Date and until the termination of the related Deferral Period, the Corporation shall, unless after notice to the Federal Reserve and except to the extent that the Federal Reserve shall have disapproved, issue Qualifying APM Securities until the Corporation has raised an amount of Eligible Proceeds at least equal to the aggregate and unpaid amount of deferred interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures (including Additional Interest thereon) and applied such Eligible Proceeds on the next Interest Payment Date to the payment of deferred interest (including Additional Interest thereon) in accordance with Section 2.4(b); provided that:

(i) the foregoing obligations shall not apply during the first 20 consecutive Interest Periods of any Deferral Period (including Additional Interest thereon), to the extent the net proceeds of any issuance of Common Stock (or, if the Corporation has amended the definition of Qualifying APM Securities to eliminate Common Stock, Qualifying Warrants) applied during such Deferral Period to pay interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures pursuant to this Section 2.6, together with the net proceeds of all prior issuances of Common Stock and Qualifying Warrants so applied, would exceed an amount equal to 2% of the product of the average of the Current Stock Market Prices of the Common Stock on the 10 consecutive Trading Days ending on the second Trading Day immediately preceding the date of issuance multiplied by the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the date of the Corporation’s then most recent publicly available consolidated financial statements (the “Common Equity Issuance Cap”); provided that the Common Equity Issuance Cap shall cease to apply after the fifth anniversary of the commencement of any Deferral Period, at which point the Corporation must pay any deferred interest, to the extent not disapproved of by the Federal Reserve after notice, regardless of the time at which it was deferred, using the Alternative Payment Mechanism, subject to any Market Disruption Event, the Maximum Share Number and the Preferred Stock Issuance Cap; and provided, further, that if the Common Equity Issuance Cap is reached during a Deferral Period and the Corporation subsequently repays all deferred interest, the Common Equity Issuance Cap shall cease to apply at the termination of such Deferral Period and shall not apply again unless and until the Corporation starts a new Deferral Period;

(ii) the foregoing obligations shall not apply, and the Corporation shall not be permitted to issue Qualifying Preferred Stock or Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock, to the extent that the net proceeds of any issuance of Qualifying Preferred Stock or Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock applied to pay interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures pursuant to this Section 2.6, together with the net proceeds of all prior issuances of Qualifying Preferred Stock and still outstanding Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock applied during the current and all prior Deferral Periods, would exceed 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Junior Subordinated Debentures issued under the Indenture (the “Preferred Stock Issuance Cap”);

(iii) the foregoing obligations shall not apply in respect of any Interest Payment Date if the Corporation shall have provided to the Trustee (and to the Property Trustee of the Trust to the extent it is the Holder of the Junior Subordinated Debentures) no more than 15 and no less than 10 Business Days prior to such Interest Payment Date an Officers’ Certificate stating that (A) a Market Disruption Event was existing after the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date and (B) either (1) the Market Disruption Event continued for the entire period from the Business Day immediately following the preceding Interest Payment Date to the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such Officers’ Certificate is provided or (2) the Market Disruption Event continued for only part of such period but the Corporation was unable to raise sufficient Eligible Proceeds during the rest of that period to pay all accrued and unpaid interest due on the Interest Payment Date with respect to which such Officers’ Certificate is being delivered;

(iv) to the extent that the Corporation has raised some but not all Eligible Proceeds necessary to pay all deferred interest (including Additional Interest thereon) on any Interest Payment Date pursuant to this Section 2.6 and subject to the Common Equity Issuance Cap and the Preferred Stock Issuance Cap, such Eligible Proceeds shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.4(b);

(v) the Corporation is not obligated to sell shares of Common Stock, Qualifying Warrants or Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock such that the Common Stock to be issued (or which would be issuable upon exercise or conversion thereof) shall be in an amount in excess of 30 million shares of Common Stock (such number, as it may be adjusted from time to time, the “Maximum Share Number”) for purposes of paying deferred interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures; provided that if the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reclassification, recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange of shares or other similar transaction, then the Maximum Share Number shall be correspondingly

adjusted; and provided, further, that the Corporation may, at its sole discretion and without the consent of the Holders of the Junior Subordinated Debentures, increase the Maximum Share Number (including through the increase of the Corporation’s authorized share capital, if necessary) if the Corporation determines that such increase is necessary to allow it to issue sufficient shares of Common Stock to pay deferred interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures; and

(vi) so long as the definition of Qualifying APM Securities has not been amended to eliminate Common Stock, the sale of Qualifying Warrants to pay deferred interest is an option that may be exercised at the Corporation’s sole discretion, and the Corporation shall not be obligated to sell Qualifying Warrants or to apply the proceeds of any such sale to pay deferred interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures, and no class of investors in the Corporation’s securities, or any other party, may require the Corporation to issue Qualifying Warrants.

(i) For the avoidance of doubt, once the Corporation reaches the Common Equity Issuance Cap for a Deferral Period, the Corporation shall not be required to issue more Common Stock (or, if the Corporation has amended the definition of Qualifying APM Securities to eliminate Common Stock, Qualifying Warrants) during the first 20 consecutive Interest Periods of such Deferral Period (including Additional Interest thereon) pursuant to this Section 2.6(a) even if the amount referred to in this Section 2.6(a)(i) subsequently increases because of a subsequent increase in the Current Stock Market Price of the Common Stock or the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock. The Corporation shall not be excused from its obligations under this Section 2.6(a) if it determines not to pursue or complete the sale of Qualifying APM Securities due to pricing, dividend rate or dilution considerations.

(b) Qualifying APM Securities Definition Change. The Corporation shall send written notice to the Trustee (which notice the Trustee shall promptly forward upon receipt to the Administrative Trustees, who shall forward such notice to each holder of record of Capital Securities) prior to the effective date of any change in the definition of Qualifying APM Securities to eliminate Common Stock or Qualifying Warrants.

Section 2.7 Redemption of the Junior Subordinated Indentures.

(a) Redemption. Section 11.7 of the Indenture shall not apply to the Junior Subordinated Debentures. The Junior Subordinated Debentures shall be redeemable at the option of the Corporation (i) in whole or in part at any time on or after September 15, 2013 at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date, (ii) in whole but not in part after the occurrence of a Rating Agency Event prior to September 15, 2013 at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (A) 100% of their principal amount and (B) the Make-Whole Redemption Price, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date, and (iii) in whole but not in part after the occurrence of a Tax Event, Capital Treatment Event or Investment Company Event prior to September 15, 2013 at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date.

(b) No Sinking Fund. The Junior Subordinated Debentures are not entitled to any sinking fund payments or similar provisions.

Section 2.8 Events of Default.

(a) Paragraphs (1) through (6) of Section 5.1 of the Indenture shall not apply to the Junior Subordinated Debentures, the occurrence of an event described therein shall not be an Event of Default with respect to the Junior Subordinated Debentures, and such paragraphs are replaced with the following subparagraphs (i) through (iv), the occurrence of any of which shall be an Event of Default with respect to the Junior Subordinated Debentures:

(i) the default in the payment of interest, including Additional Interest, in full on the Junior Subordinated Debentures for a period of 30 days after the conclusion of 40 consecutive quarterly Interest Periods following the commencement of any Deferral Period;

(ii) the default in the payment of principal of the Junior Subordinated debentures when due whether on the Maturity Date, upon redemption or otherwise;

(iii) the entry of a decree or order by a court having jurisdiction in the premises adjudging the Corporation a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Corporation under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Corporation or of any substantial part of its property or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days;

(iv) the institution by the Corporation of proceedings to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law, or the consent by it to the filing of any such petition or to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Corporation or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due and its willingness to be adjudicated a bankrupt, or the taking of corporate action by the Corporation in furtherance of any such action;

(v) a receiver is appointed for a Major Subsidiary Depository Institution under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act or other applicable law.

(b) If an Event of Default as described in Section 2.8(a)(i) occurs and is continuing, then and in each such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Junior Subordinated Debentures may declare the principal amount, and accrued interest (including Additional Interest), of all the Junior Subordinated Debentures to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Corporation (and to the Trustee if given by Holders); provided that if, upon such an Event of Default, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Junior Subordinated Debentures fail to declare the entire principal amount and all accrued but unpaid interest of all the Junior Subordinated Debentures to be immediately due and payable, the holders of at least 25% in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities then outstanding shall have such right by a notice in writing to the Corporation and the Trustee; and upon any such declaration such principal amount of and the accrued but unpaid interest (including any Additional Interest) on all the Junior Subordinated Debentures shall become immediately due and payable; and provided, further, that the payment of principal and interest (including any Additional Interest) on such Junior Subordinated Debentures shall remain subordinated to the extent provided in Article XIII of the Indenture. If such a declaration occurs, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Junior Subordinated Debentures can, in accordance with Section 5.2 of the Indenture, rescind the declaration; provided that if the Holders of the Junior Subordinated Debentures do not rescind such declaration and the Junior Subordinated Indentures are held by the Trust or the Property Trustee, the holders of at least a majority in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities shall have such right. In the case of any other Event of Default, there shall be no right to declare the principal amount of the Junior Subordinated Debentures immediately due and payable.

(d) So long as any Junior Subordinated Debentures are held by or on behalf of the Trust, the Trustee shall provide to the holders of the Capital Securities such notices as it shall from time to time provide under Section 6.2 of the Indenture. In addition, the Trustee shall provide to the holders of the Capital Securities notice of any Event of Default or event that, with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default with respect to the Junior Subordinated Debentures within 30 days after the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of such Event of Default or other event.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, and without prejudice to any other remedies that may be available to the Trustee, the Holders of the Junior Subordinated Debentures or the holders of the Capital Securities under the Indenture, no breach by the Corporation of any covenant or obligation under the Indenture or the terms of the Junior Subordinated Debentures shall be an Event of Default with respect to the Junior Subordinated Debentures other than those specified as Events of Default in Section 2.8(a).

(f) The Corporation shall not enter into any supplemental indenture with the Trustee to add any additional event of default with respect to the Junior Subordinated Debentures to the definition of Event of Default without the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Junior Subordinated Debentures.

Section 2.9 Limitation on Claims in the Event of Bankruptcy, Insolvency or Receivership. Each Holder, by such Holder’s acceptance of the Junior Subordinated Debentures, agrees that if a Bankruptcy Event shall occur prior to the redemption or repayment of such Junior

Subordinated Debentures, such Holder shall have no claim for, and thus no right to receive, any interest deferred pursuant to Section 2.4(a) (including Additional Interest thereon) that has not been paid pursuant to Sections 2.4(b) and 2.6 to the extent the amount of such interest exceeds the sum of (x) interest that relates to the earliest two years of the portion of the Deferral Period for which interest has not been paid (including Additional Interest thereon) and (y) an amount equal to such Holder’s pro rata share of the excess, if any, of the Preferred Stock Issuance Cap over the aggregate amount of net proceeds from the sale of the Qualifying Preferred Stock that the Corporation has applied to pay such Deferred Interest pursuant to Section 2.6. Each Holder, by such Holder’s acceptance of the Junior Subordinated Debentures, agrees that, to the extent the claim for deferred interest exceeds the amount set forth in clause (x), the amount such Holder receives in respect of such excess shall not exceed the amount it would have received had the claim for such excess ranked pari passu with the interests of the holders, if any, of the Qualifying Preferred Stock.

Section 2.10 Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest; Direct Action by Holders of Capital Securities.

Section 5.8 of the Indenture shall not apply to the Junior Subordinated Debentures.

Notwithstanding any other provision in the Indenture, each Holder of the Junior Subordinated Debentures shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 3.8 of the Indenture) interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Junior Subordinated Debentures on the Maturity Date (or, in the case of redemption or repayment, on the Redemption Date or the Repayment Date, as the case may be) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. So long as any Junior Subordinated Debentures are held by or on behalf of the Trust, any holder of the Capital Securities issued by the Trust shall have the right, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 2.8(a)(i) or (ii), to institute a suit directly against the Corporation for enforcement of payment to such Holder of principal of (premium, if any) and (subject to Section 3.8 of the Indenture) interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Junior Subordinated Debentures having a principal amount equal to the aggregate Liquidation Amount of such Capital Securities.

Section 2.11 Registrar, Paying Agent, Authenticating Agent and Place of Payment. (a) The Corporation hereby appoints U.S. Bank National Association as Security Registrar, Authenticating Agent and Paying Agent with respect to the Junior Subordinated Debentures. The Junior Subordinated Debentures may be surrendered for registration of transfer and for exchange at the office or agency of the Corporation maintained for such purpose in the City of New York and at any other office or agency maintained by the Corporation for such purpose. The Place of Payment for the Junior Subordinated Debentures shall be the Security Registrar’s office in the City of New York.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision contained herein, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Trustee may delegate its duty to provide such notices and to perform such other duties as may be required to be provided or performed by the Trustee under the Indenture, and, to the extent such obligation has been so delegated, the Trustee shall not be responsible for monitoring the compliance of, nor be liable for the default or misconduct of, any such designee.

SUBORDINATION

Section 4.1 Senior Debt. The subordination provisions of Article XIII of the Indenture shall apply to the Junior Subordinated Debentures, except that for the purposes of the Junior Subordinated Debentures (but not for the purposes of any other Securities unless specifically set forth in the terms of such Securities), “Senior Debt” or “Senior Indebtedness” as defined in the Indenture shall mean:

(i) any of the Company’s indebtedness for borrowed or purchased money, whether or not evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or other written instruments, including any debt securities, which term includes junior subordinated debt securities, and guarantees in respect of those debt securities, initially issued to any trust, partnership or other entity affiliated with the Corporation that is, directly or indirectly, the Corporation’s financing vehicle in connection with the issuance by such entity of capital securities or other similar securities except to the extent, in the case of any such securities or guarantees issued after the date of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture, the instrument creating those obligations provides that they are not superior in right of payment to the Junior Subordinated Debentures;

(ii) the Company’s obligations under letters of credit;

(iii) any of the Company’s indebtedness or other obligations with respect to commodity contracts, interest rate and currency swap agreements, cap, floor and collar agreements, currency spot and forward contracts, and other similar agreements or arrangements designed to protect against fluctuations in currency exchange or interest rates;

(iv) any guarantees, endorsements (other than by endorsement of negotiable instruments for collection in the ordinary course of business) or other similar contingent obligations in respect of obligations of others of a type described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, whether or not such obligation is classified as a liability on a balance sheet prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,

in each case, whether outstanding on the date of execution of this Indenture or thereafter incurred, other than Parity Securities (including without limitation the pari passu securities set forth in the next succeeding paragraph) or ranking junior to the Junior Subordinated Debentures.

For purposes of the Junior Subordinated Debentures, Senior Debt shall exclude trade accounts payable and accrued liabilities arising in the ordinary course of business.

BB&T CORPORATION

Junior Subordinated Debenture


Registration Number: [ ]		Principal Amount: [ ]

BB&T CORPORATION, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of North Carolina (hereinafter called the “Corporation”, which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to [•], or registered assigns, the principal sum of [•] ($[•]) and all accrued and unpaid interest thereof on the maturity date (the “Maturity Date”). The Maturity Date shall initially be September 15, 2063, but shall be automatically extended, without the consent of the holders of the Capital Securities or the Junior Subordinated Debentures, for an additional quarterly period on each of March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 beginning September 15, 2013 and through and including June 15, 2018, unless (i) earlier redeemed or (ii) at least 30, but no more than 60, days prior to any such extension date, the Corporation gives notice of its election to discontinue the automatic extension of the Maturity Date. If the Maturity Date is automatically extended on all extension dates, the Junior Subordinated Debentures shall mature on September 15, 2068. The principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, the Junior Subordinated Debentures shall be payable in full on the Maturity Date, or if such day is not a Business Day, the following Business Day. The Corporation further promises to pay interest on said principal sum from and including September 10, 2008, or from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date on which interest has been paid or duly provided for, until the principal thereof is paid or made available for payment.

From and including September 10, 2008 to but excluding September 15, 2063 (the “Fixed Rate Period”), interest shall be payable quarterly in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on December 15, 2008 to but excluding September 15, 2063,

at an annual rate of 8.95%. From and including September 15, 2063 to but excluding September 15, 2068 (the “Floating Rate Period”), interest shall be payable quarterly in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on December 15, 2063, at an annual rate equal to the Three-Month LIBOR Rate plus 4.19%. During the Fixed Rate Period, interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. During the Floating Rate Period, interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed.

If any Interest Payment Date scheduled on or prior to the regularly scheduled Interest Payment Date on September 15, 2063 occurs on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of interest for such Interest Payment Date shall be made (or such interest shall be made available for payment) on the next Business Day without any interest or other payment in respect of the delay; provided however, that for any Interest Payment Date scheduled after the regularly scheduled Interest Payment Date on September 15, 2063, if that next Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, the Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. Accrued interest that is not paid on the applicable Interest Payment Date (after giving effect to the adjustments described in the last sentence of Section 2.3(b) of the Fourth Supplemental Indenture), including interest deferred pursuant to Section 2.4 of the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, shall bear Additional Interest, to the extent permitted by law, at the then applicable rate described in this paragraph from the relevant Interest Payment Date, compounded on each subsequent Interest Payment Date. The interest installment so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest installment. Any such interest installment not so punctually paid or duly provided for (other than interest deferred in accordance with the next paragraph) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days before such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture.

So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Corporation has the right at any time or from time to time during the term of this Security to defer payment of interest on this Security for one or more consecutive Interest Periods that do not exceed 40 consecutive Interest Periods; provided, however, that no Deferral Period shall extend beyond the Maturity Date or the earlier redemption of the Securities. Upon the termination of any Deferral Period and upon the payment of all deferred interest then due, the Corporation may elect to begin a new Deferral Period, subject to the above requirements. Except as provided in Section 2.4 of the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, no interest shall be due and payable during a Deferral Period except at the end thereof. So long as any Securities remain outstanding, if the Corporation has given notice of its election to defer interest payments on the Securities but the related Deferral Period has not yet commenced or a Deferral Period is continuing, the Corporation shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary of the Corporation to, (i) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase,

A-2

acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to any shares of the Corporation’s capital stock, (ii) make any payment of principal of or interest or premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any Parity Securities or any debt securities or guarantees of the Corporation that rank junior in interest upon liquidation of the Junior Subordinated Debentures or (iii) make any guarantee payments regarding any guarantee by the Corporation of the Junior Subordinated Debentures of any Subsidiary of the Corporation if the guarantee ranks junior in interest to the Junior Subordinated Debentures (other than (A) any purchase, redemption or other acquisition of shares of capital stock of the Corporation in connection with (1) any employment contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of any one or more employees, officers, directors, consultants or independent contractors, (2) a dividend reinvestment or stockholder purchase plan, or (3) the issuance of capital stock of the Corporation, or securities convertible into or exercisable for such capital stock, as consideration in an acquisition transaction entered into prior to the applicable Deferral Period; (B) any exchange, redemption or conversion of any class or series of the capital stock of the Corporation or of any of its Subsidiaries for any other class or series of the Corporation’s capital stock, or of any class or series of the Corporation’s indebtedness for any class or series of the Corporation’s capital stock; (C) any purchase of fractional interests in shares of the Corporation’s capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such capital stock or the securities being converted or exchanged; (D) any declaration of a dividend in connection with a stockholder rights plan, or the issuance of rights, stock or other property under any stockholder rights plan, or the redemption or purchase of rights pursuant thereto; (E) any payment by the Corporation under the Guarantee Agreement; (F) any dividend in the form of stock, warrants, options or other rights where the dividend stock or stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants, options or other rights is the same stock as that on which the dividend is being paid or ranks equally with or junior to such stock; (G) any payment during a Deferral Period of current or deferred interest in respect of Parity Securities that is made pro rata to the amounts due on such Parity Securities and on the Junior Subordinated Debentures, provided that such payments are made in accordance with Section 2.4(b) to the extent it applies, and any payment of deferred interest on Parity Securities that, if not made, would cause the Corporation to breach the terms of the instrument governing such Parity Securities; (H) any payments of interest on Parity Securities in additional Parity Securities and any repurchase of Parity Securities in exchange for preferred stock or common stock, in each case in connection with a failed remarketing or similar event; or (I) any repayment or redemption of a security necessary to avoid a breach of the instrument governing the same.) In addition, if any Deferral Period lasts longer than one year, the Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall not repurchase or acquire any securities ranking junior to or pari passu with any of its Qualifying APM Securities the proceeds of which were used to settle deferred interest during the relevant Deferral Period before the first anniversary of the date on which all deferred interest on this Security has been paid, subject to the exceptions listed above.

The Corporation shall give written notice of its election to begin or extend any Deferral Period, (i) if the Property Trustee is not the sole Holder or a Holder of the Securities, to the Holders of the Securities and the Trustee at least one Business Day prior to the next succeeding Interest Payment Date or (ii) if the Property Trustee is the sole Holder of the Securities, to the Property Trustee, the Delaware Trustee and the Trustee at least one Business Day prior to the earlier of (A) the next Distribution Date or (B) the date the Property Trustee is required to give notice to holders of the Capital Securities of the record or payment date for such Distribution; provided that the Corporation is required to give the Holders of the Securities notice of its election of such Deferral Period no more than 15 Business Days (or such other period as may be specified by the Federal Reserve) before the next Interest Payment Date.

A-3

Payment of the principal of and interest on this Security shall be made at the office or agency of the Corporation maintained for that purpose in the United States, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that at the option of the Corporation payment of interest may be made (i) by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Securities Register or (ii) by wire transfer in immediately available funds at the bank account number as may be designated by the Person entitled thereto as specified in the Securities Register in writing not less than 10 days before the relevant Interest Payment Date.

The indebtedness evidenced by this Security is, to the extent provided in the Indenture, subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, and this Security is issued subject to the provisions of the Indenture with respect thereto. Each Holder of this Security, by accepting the same, (i) agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions, (ii) authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination so provided and (iii) appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. Each Holder hereof, by his acceptance hereof, waives all notice of the acceptance of the subordination provisions contained herein and in the Indenture by each holder of Senior Indebtedness, whether now outstanding or hereafter incurred, and waives reliance by each such holder upon said provisions.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this instrument to be duly executed under its corporate seal.

REVERSE OF SECURITY

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Corporation (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under the Junior Subordinated Indenture, dated as of August 18, 2005 (herein called the “Base Indenture”), between the Corporation and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”), as amended and supplemented by the fourth supplemental indenture thereto, dated as of September 10, 2008 (herein called the “Fourth Supplemental Indenture”, and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), between the Corporation and the Trustee, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Corporation and the Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. By the terms of the Indenture, the Securities are issuable in series that may vary as to amount, date of maturity, rate of interest, rank and in any other respect provided in the Indenture. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, limited in aggregate principal amount of $500,010,000.

All terms used in this Security that are defined in the Indenture or in the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement, dated as of September 10, 2008 (as modified, amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Trust Agreement”), relating to BB&T Capital Trust V (the “Issuer Trust”), among BB&T Corporation, as Depositor, the Trustees named therein and the holders from time to time of the Trust Securities issued pursuant thereto, shall have the meanings assigned to the in the Indenture or the Trust Agreement, as the case may be.

The Corporation may, at its option, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Fourth Supplemental Indenture and Article XI of the Base Indenture, redeem this Security (i) in whole or in part at any time on or after September 15, 2013 at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date, (ii) in whole but not in part after the occurrence of a Rating Agency Event prior to September 15, 2013 at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (A) 100% of their principal amount and (B) the Make-Whole Redemption Price, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date, and (iii) in whole but not in part after the occurrence of a Tax Event, Capital Treatment Event or Investment Company Event prior to September 15, 2013 at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date.

In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

No sinking fund is provided for the Securities.

The Indenture contains provisions for satisfaction and discharge of the entire indebtedness of this Security upon compliance by the Corporation with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.

A-6

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Corporation and the Trustee at any time to enter into a supplemental indenture or indentures for the purpose of modifying in any manner the rights and obligations of the Corporation and of the Holders of the Securities, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series to be affected by such supplemental indenture, acting together. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Corporation with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, if an Event of Default as described in Section 2.8(a)(i) of the Fourth Supplemental Indenture with respect to the Securities at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then and in each such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities may declare the principal amount, and accrued interest (including Additional Interest), of all the Securities to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Corporation (and to the Trustee if given by Holders); provided that if, upon such an Event of Default, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities fail to declare the entire principal amount and all accrued but unpaid interest of all the Securities to be immediately due and payable, the holders of at least 25% in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities then outstanding shall have such right by a notice in writing to the Corporation and the Trustee; and upon any such declaration such principal amount of and the accrued but unpaid interest (including any Additional Interest) on all the Securities of this series shall become immediately due and payable; and provided, further, that the payment of principal and interest (including any Additional Interest) on such Securities shall remain subordinated to the extent provided in Article XIII of the Base Indenture.

So long as any Securities are held by or on behalf of BB&T Capital Trust V, any holder of the Capital Securities issued by BB&T Capital Trust V shall have the right, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 2.8(a)(i) or (ii) of the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, to institute a suit directly against the Corporation for enforcement of payment to such holder of principal of (premium, if any) and (subject to Section 3.8 of the Base Indenture) interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities having a principal amount equal to the aggregate Liquidation Amount (as defined in the Trust Agreement) of such Capital Securities.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Corporation, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest (including any Additional Interest) on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

Each Holder, by such Holder’s acceptance hereof, agrees that if a Bankruptcy Event shall occur prior to the redemption or repayment of this Security, such Holder shall have no claim for, and thus no right to receive, any interest deferred pursuant to the Fourth Supplemental Indenture (including Additional Interest thereon) that has not been paid out of the proceeds of the issuance of certain

A-7

securities in accordance with the Fourth Supplemental Indenture to the extent the amount of such interest exceeds the sum of (x) interest that relates to the earliest two years of the portion of the Deferral Period for which interest has not been paid (including Additional Interest thereon) and (y) an amount equal to such Holder’s pro rata share of the excess, if any, of the Preferred Stock Issuance Cap over the aggregate amount of net proceeds from the sale of the Qualifying Preferred Stock that the Corporation has applied to pay such Deferred Interest pursuant to Section 2.6 of the Fourth Supplemental Indenture. Each Holder, by such Holder’s acceptance hereof, agrees that, to the extent the claim for deferred interest exceeds the amount set forth in clause (x), the amount such Holder receives in respect of such excess shall not exceed the amount it would have received had the claim for such excess ranked pari passu with the interests of the holders, if any, of the Qualifying Preferred Stock.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Securities Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Corporation maintained under Section 10.2 of the Base Indenture, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Corporation and the Securities Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series, of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, shall be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Corporation may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Corporation, the Trustee and any agent of the Corporation or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Corporation, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $25.00 and any integral multiple of $25.00 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

The Corporation and, by its acceptance of this Security or a beneficial interest therein, the Holder of, and any Person that acquires a beneficial interest in, this Security agree that for United States federal, state and local tax purposes it is intended that this Security constitute indebtedness of the Corporation.

THE INDENTURE AND THIS SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

This is one of the Securities referred to in the within mentioned Indenture.
