(b) If the SEC does not grant an exemption from the final paragraph of Section 316(a) of the Trust Indenture Act as it relates to the Investor prior to the time the Investor intends to exercise its registration rights under Section 4.6, then: (i) At any time and from time to time following the Public Exchange Offer Closing Date, the Investor shall have the right to exchange TruPs Exchange Securities for a number of trust preferred securities (the “Registrable TruPs Exchange Securities”) having the same aggregate liquidation amount and terms substantially identical to the terms of the TruPs Exchange Securities to be exchanged, except that the amended and restated declaration of trust under which the Registrable TruPs Exchange Securities will be issued will be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act.

For the avoidance of doubt, if Registrable Subordinated Debentures and Registrable Guarantees are issued from time to time in connection with more than one series of Registrable TruPs Exchange Securities, none of the Registrable Subordinated Debentures or the Registrable Guarantees issued in connection with any one series will be fungible with those issued in connection with any other series, even though the terms of all Registrable Subordinated Debentures and Registrable Guarantees will be substantially identical. (c) The Investor shall exercise this exchange right by providing written notice to the Company in accordance with Section 5.6 below prior to the date on which it intends to exchange TruPs Exchange Securities for Registrable TruPs Exchange Securities.

(d) On the date of any exchange, the Company shall deliver to the Investor customary legal opinions from counsel to the Company, addressed to the Investor, covering the due and valid issuance of the Registrable TruPs Exchange Securities, the Registrable Subordinated Debentures, the Registrable Guarantee and such other matters customarily covered in opinions requested in an underwritten offering of trust preferred securities. (e) In the event the Investor exercises its right to receive Registrable TruPs Exchange Securities under this Section 4.5, then (i) the references to “TruPs Exchange Securities” in Section 3.4 and Section 4.6(h), (i) and (k)(iv) shall be deemed references to “Registrable TruPs Exchange Securities” and (ii) the terms “Registrable Subordinated Debentures” and “Registrable Guarantee” shall be deemed added to Section 4.6(k)(iv)(B)(y).
