(c)Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Indenture (other than the provisions set forth in this Section 2.4(c)), a Global Note may not be exchanged in whole or in part for Junior Subordinated Notes registered, and no transfer of a Global Note may be registered, in the name of any person other than the Depositary or a nominee thereof unless (i) such Depositary (A) has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Note or (B) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered as such under the Exchange Act and no successor Depositary has been appointed by the Company within 90 days after its receipt of such notice or its becoming aware of such ineligibility, (ii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default, or any event which after notice or lapse of time or both would be an Event of Default under the Indenture, with respect to such Junior Subordinated Note, or (iii) the Company, in its sole discretion and subject to the procedures of the Depositary, instructs the Trustee to exchange such Global Note for a Junior Subordinated Note that is not a Global Note (in which case such exchange (subject to such procedures) shall be effected by the Trustee).

The Depositary shall be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act. The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes. Initially, the Global Notes shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as the nominee of the Depositary, and deposited with the Trustee as custodian for Cede & Co.

Definitive Note Certificates issued in exchange for all or a part of a Global Note pursuant to this Section 2.4(c) shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee.

2.5 Interest.

(a)Each Junior Subordinated Note will bear interest at the rate of ________% per annum from the Original Issue Date. Subject to the Company’s right to defer interest payments described in Article IV below, interest is payable quarterly in arrears on each Interest Payment Date until the principal thereof is paid or made available for payment. If interest payments are deferred or otherwise not paid, they will accrue and compound until paid at the annual rate of _____% per annum, to the extent permitted by applicable law. The amount of interest payable for any period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The interest so payable will be paid to the Person in whose name such Junior Subordinated Note is registered, at the close of business on the Record Date next preceding such Interest Payment Date; provided that interest payable at Maturity will be paid to the Person to whom principal is payable. Any such interest that is not so punctually paid or duly provided for, and that is not deferred pursuant to Article IV hereof, will forthwith cease to be payable to the holders on such Record Date and may either be paid (i) to the Person in whose name such Junior Subordinated Note (or any Junior Subordinated Note issued upon registration of transfer or exchange thereof) is registered at the close of business on the record date for the payment of such defaulted interest established in accordance with Section 2.3 of the Base Indenture or (ii) at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of the securities exchange, if any, on which the Junior Subordinated Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange. The “Record Date” for payment of interest will be the close of business on the Business Day next preceding the Interest Payment Date, unless such Junior Subordinated Note is registered to a holder other than the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary, in which case the Record Date for payment of interest will be the close of business on the fifteenth calendar day preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date, whether or not a Business Day.

(b)If an Interest Payment Date, redemption date or the Stated Maturity of the Junior Subordinated Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of interest and principal will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no interest on such payment will accrue for the period from and after the Interest Payment Date, redemption date or the Stated Maturity, as applicable.

2.6 Events of Default. An Event of Default as defined in the Indenture shall be an Event of Default with respect to the Junior Subordinated Notes provided that the nonpayment of interest for so long as and to the extent that interest is permitted to be deferred pursuant to Article IV herein shall not be deemed to be a default in the payment of interest for the purposes of Article VI of the Base Indenture and shall not otherwise be deemed an Event of Default with respect to the Junior Subordinated Notes. For the avoidance of doubt, and without prejudice to any other remedies that may be available to the Trustee or the holders of the Junior Subordinated Notes, no breach by the Company of any covenant or obligation under the Indenture or the terms of the Junior Subordinated Notes shall be an Event of Default except those that are specifically identified as an Event of Default under the Indenture.

ARTICLE III

[Redemption Provisions]

Unless the Company defaults in payment of the applicable redemption price, on and after the redemption date interest shall cease to accrue on such Junior Subordinated Notes called for redemption.

ARTICLE IV
OPTION TO DEFER INTEREST PAYMENTS

4.1 Option to Defer Interest Payments. So long as there is no Event of Default with respect to the Junior Subordinated Notes under the Base Indenture, the Company, at its option, may, on one or more occasions, defer payment of all or part of the current and accrued interest otherwise due on the Junior Subordinated Notes for a period of up to ____ consecutive years (each period, commencing on the date that the first such interest payment would otherwise have been made, an “Optional Deferral Period”). A deferral of interest payments may not end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date and may not extend beyond the Stated Maturity of the Junior Subordinated Notes, and the Company may not begin a new Optional Deferral Period and may not pay current interest on the Junior Subordinated Notes until it has paid allaccrued interest on the Junior Subordinated Notes from the previous Optional Deferral Period. Such accrued interest shall be payable to the persons in whose names the Junior Subordinated Notes are registered at the close of business on the Record Date next preceding such Interest Payment Date.

Any deferred interest on the Junior Subordinated Notes will accrue Additional Interest at a rate equal to _____% per annum, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Once the Company pays all deferred interest payments on the Junior Subordinated Notes, including any Additional Interest accrued on the deferred interest, it shall be entitled to again defer interest payments on the Junior Subordinated Notes as described above, but not beyond the Stated Maturity of the Junior Subordinated Notes.

[Unless the Company has paid allaccrued and payable interest on the Junior Subordinated Notes and is not deferring any interest payments on the Junior Subordinated Notes at such time, it will not and its Subsidiaries shall not do any of the following:


(i)	declare or pay any dividends or distributions, or redeem, purchase, acquire, or make a liquidation payment on any of the Company’s Capital Stock;


(i)	make any payment of principal of or interest or premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any of its debt securities that rank on a parity with or junior to the Junior Subordinated Notes (including debt securities of other series issued under the Base Indenture); or


(ii)	make any guarantee payments on any guarantee of debt securities if the guarantee ranks on a parity with or junior to the Junior Subordinated Notes.

However, the foregoing provisions shall not prevent or restrict the Company from making:

(a) purchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of its Capital Stock in connection with any employment contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of employees, officers, directors, agents or consultants or a stock purchase or dividend reinvestment plan, or the satisfaction of its obligations pursuant to any contract or security outstanding on the date that the payment of interest is deferred requiring it to purchase, redeem or acquire its Capital Stock;

(b)any payment, repayment, redemption, purchase, acquisition or declaration of dividend described in clause (i) above as a result of a reclassification of its Capital Stock, or the exchange or conversion of all or a portion of one class or series of its Capital Stock for another class or series of its Capital Stock;

(c)the purchase of fractional interests in shares of its Capital Stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of its Capital Stock or the security being converted or exchanged, or in connection with the settlement of stock purchase contracts outstanding on the date that the payment of interest is deferred;

(d)dividends or distributions paid or made in its Capital Stock (or rights to acquire its Capital Stock), or repurchases, redemptions or acquisitions of Capital Stock in connection with the issuance or exchange of Capital Stock (or of securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of its Capital Stock) and distributions in connection with the settlement of stock purchase contracts outstanding on the date that the payment of interest is deferred;

(e)redemptions, exchanges or repurchases of, or with respect to, any rights outstanding under a shareholder rights plan outstanding on the date that the payment of interest is deferred or the declaration or payment thereunder of a dividend or distribution of or with respect to rights in the future; or

(f)payments on the Junior Subordinated Notes, any trust preferred securities, subordinated debentures, junior subordinated debentures or junior subordinated notes, or any guarantees of any of the foregoing, in each case that rank equal in right of payment to the Junior Subordinated Notes, so long as the amount of payments made on account of such securities or guarantees is paid on all such securities and guarantees then outstanding on a pro rata basis in proportion to the full payment to which each series of such securities and guarantees is then entitled if paid in full.]

4.2 Notice of Deferral. The Company shall give the Trustee written notice of its election to begin an Optional Deferral Period at least one Business Day before the Record Date for the next Interest Payment Date. The Trustee will forward any written notice that the Company gives of its election to begin an Optional Deferral Period to the holders of the Junior Subordinated Notes. However, the Company’s failure to pay interest on any Interest Payment Date will itself constitute the commencement of an Optional Deferral Period unless the Company pays such interest payment within five Business Days after the Interest Payment Date, whether or not the Company provides a notice of deferral.
