(1) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of interest (including any Additional Interest) on, any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon or any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or reduce the amount of principal of a Discount Security that would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 5.2, or change the place of payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any Security or interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date), or
(2) reduce the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, the consent of whose Holders is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of whose Holders is required for any waiver (of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and their consequences) provided for in this Indenture, or
(3) modify any of the provisions of this Section, Section 5.13 or Section 10.5, except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Security affected thereby; provided, further, that, in the case of the Securities of a series issued to an Issuer Trust, so long as any of the corresponding series of Capital Securities issued by such Issuer Trust remains outstanding, (i) no such amendment shall be made that adversely affects the holders of such Capital Securities in any material respect, and no termination of this Indenture shall occur, and no waiver of any Event of Default or compliance with any covenant under this Indenture shall be effective, without the prior consent of the holders of at least a majority of the aggregate Liquidation Amount (as defined in the related Trust Agreement) of such Capital Securities then outstanding unless and until the principal of (and premium, if any, on) the Securities of such series and all accrued and (subject to Section 3.8) unpaid interest (including any Additional Interest) thereon have been paid in full, and (ii) no amendment shall be made to Section 5.8 of this Indenture that would impair the rights of the holders of Capital Securities issued by an Issuer Trust provided therein without the prior consent of the holders of each such Capital Security then outstanding unless and until the principal of (and premium, if any, on) the Securities of such series and all accrued and (subject to Section 3.8) unpaid interest (including any Additional Interest) thereon have been paid in full. A supplemental indenture that changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture that has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities or any corresponding series of Capital Securities of an Issuer Trust that holds the Securities of any series, or that modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series or holders of such Capital Securities of such corresponding series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series or holders of Capital Securities of any other such corresponding series. It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.
