(a) The Corporation represents and warrants that the Initial Covered Debt is Eligible Debt.

(b) On the Redesignation Date or during the 30-day period immediately preceding the Redesignation Date with respect to the then-effective Covered Debt, the

Corporation shall identify the series of Eligible Debt that will become the Covered Debt on and after such Redesignation Date in accordance with the following procedures:

(A) the Corporation shall identify each series of its then-outstanding long-term indebtedness for money borrowed that is Eligible Debt;

(B) if only one series of the Corporation’s then-outstanding long-term indebtedness for money borrowed is Eligible Debt, such series shall become the Covered Debt on the related Redesignation Date;

(C) if the Corporation has more than one outstanding series of long-term indebtedness for money borrowed that is Eligible Debt, then the Corporation shall identify the series that has the latest occurring final maturity date as of the date the Corporation is applying the procedures in this Section 3(b) and such series shall become the Covered Debt on the related Redesignation Date;

(D) the series of outstanding long-term indebtedness for money borrowed that is determined to be Covered Debt pursuant to clause (B) or (C) above shall be the Covered Debt for purposes of this Covenant for the period commencing on the related Redesignation Date and continuing to, but not including, the Redesignation Date as of which a new series of outstanding long-term indebtedness is next determined to be the Covered Debt pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Section 3(b); and

(E) in connection with such identification of a new series of Covered Debt, the Corporation shall give the notice provided for in Section 4 within the time frame provided for in such section.

(c) The Corporation agrees that, if at any time the Covered Debt is held by a trust (for example, where the Covered Debt is part of an issuance of trust preferred securities), a holder of the securities issued by such trust may enforce this Covenant directly against the Corporation (including by instituting legal proceedings) as though such holder owned Covered Debt directly, and the holders of such trust securities shall be deemed to be Covered Debtholders for purposes of this Covenant for so long as the indebtedness held by such trust remains Covered Debt hereunder.

SECTION 4. Notice. In order to give effect to the intent of the Corporation described in Recital D, the Corporation covenants that:

(a) simultaneous with the execution of this Covenant or as soon as practicable after the date hereof, it shall (i) give notice to the Holders of the Initial Covered Debt, in the manner provided in the indenture relating to the Initial Covered Debt, of this Covenant and the rights granted to such Holders hereunder and (ii) file a copy of this Covenant with the Commission as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K under the Exchange Act;

(b) so long as the Corporation is a reporting company under the Exchange Act, the Corporation will include in each annual report filed with the Commission on Form 10-K under the Exchange Act a description of the covenant set forth in Section 2 and identify

the series of long-term indebtedness for borrowed money that is Covered Debt as of the date such Form 10-K is filed with the Commission;

(c) within 30 days after a series of the Corporation’s long-term indebtedness for money borrowed (1) becomes Covered Debt or (2) ceases to be Covered Debt, the Corporation will give notice of such occurrence to the holders of such long-term indebtedness for money borrowed in the manner provided for in the indenture, fiscal agency agreement or other contract or instrument under which such long-term indebtedness for money borrowed was issued and, thereafter, publicly announce such occurrence (a) in a Current Report on Form 8-K under the Exchange Act which either describes this Covenant and incorporates this Covenant by reference to a previously filed exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K or includes a copy of this Covenant, and (b) in the Corporation’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q or the Corporation’s annual report on Form 10-K, as applicable (or any successor to such forms), that immediately follows the public announcement;

(d) if, and only if, the Corporation ceases to be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, the Corporation will (1) post on its website or any other similar electronic platform generally available to the public the information otherwise required to be included in Exchange Act filings pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) of this Section 4 and (2), to the extent permitted by Bloomberg or any other similar third-party vendor that makes available to the marketplace information with respect to securities that are Covered Debt by posting such information on an electronically accessible screen (each an “Investor Screen”), cause a notation to be included on each such Investor Screen identifying the relevant series of indebtedness of the Corporation that is Covered Debt from time to time as Covered Debt for purposes of this Covenant and cause a hyperlink to a conformed copy of this Covenant to be included on the Investor Screen for each series of Covered Debt (but only so long as such series is Covered Debt); and

(e) promptly upon request by any Holder of Covered Debt, the Corporation will provide such Holder with a conformed copy of the executed version of this Covenant.

SECTION 5. Term. (a) The obligations of the Corporation pursuant to this Covenant shall remain in full force and effect until the earliest date (the “Termination Date”) to occur of (1) the date, if any, on which the Holders of a majority by principal amount of the then-effective Covered Debt consent or agree, as evidenced by a resolution of a meeting of the Holders or otherwise in writing, to the termination of this Covenant, (2) the date on which the Corporation has no outstanding Eligible Subordinated Debt or Eligible Senior Debt (in each case without giving effect to the rating requirement in clause (ii) of the definition of each such term), (3) November 27, 2047 or, if earlier, when all of the Securities have been paid, redeemed or purchased in full in compliance with this Capital Replacement Covenant, and (4) the occurrence of an event of default and acceleration under the indenture relating to the Notes. From and after the Termination Date, the obligations of the Corporation pursuant to this Covenant shall be of no further force or effect.

(b) For purposes of Section 5(a)(1) and Section 6, the Holders whose consent or agreement is required to terminate the covenants in Section 2 or to amend or supplement

the obligations of the Corporation under this Covenant shall be the Holders of the then-effective Covered Debt as of a record date established by the Corporation that is not more than 45 days prior to the date on which the Corporation proposes that such termination, amendment or supplement becomes effective.

SECTION 6. Amendments. This Covenant may be amended or supplemented from time to time by a written instrument signed by the Corporation with the consent of the Holders of a majority by principal amount of the then-effective series of Covered Debt; provided that this Covenant may be amended or supplemented from time to time by a written instrument signed only by the Corporation (and without the consent of the Holders of the then-effective series of Covered Debt) if (i) such amendment or supplement eliminates Common Stock, Debt Exchangeable for Common Stock, rights to acquire Common Stock, and/or Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock as a Replacement Capital Security, if after the date of this Covenant, the Corporation has been advised in writing by a nationally recognized independent accounting firm or an accounting standard or interpretive guidance of an existing accounting standard issued by an organization or regulator that has responsibility for establishing or interpreting accounting standards in the United States becomes effective such that there is more than an insubstantial risk that failure to eliminate Common Stock, Debt Exchangeable for Common Stock, rights to acquire Common Stock and/or Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock as a Replacement Capital Security would result in a reduction in the Corporation’s earnings per share as calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States; (ii) such amendment or supplement is not adverse to the Holders of the then-effective series of Covered Debt and an officer of the Corporation has delivered a written certificate to the Holders of the then-effective Covered Debt in the manner provided for in the indenture, fiscal agency agreement or other instrument with respect to such Covered Debt stating that, in his or her determination, such amendment or supplement would not adversely affect the Holders of the then-effective Covered Debt; or (iii) the effect of such amendment or supplement is solely to impose additional restrictions on, or eliminate certain of, the types of securities qualifying as Replacement Capital Securities (other than the securities covered by clause (i) above), and an officer of the Corporation has delivered a written certificate to the Holders of the then-effective Covered Debt in the manner provided for in the indenture, fiscal agency agreement or other instrument with respect to such Covered Debt stating that, in his or her determination, such amendment or supplement would not adversely affect the Holders of the then-effective Covered Debt. For the avoidance of doubt, an amendment or supplement that adds new types of Qualifying Capital Securities or modifies the requirements of the Qualifying Capital Securities described herein would not be adverse to the rights of the Holders of the then-effective Covered Debt if, following such amendment or supplement, this Covenant would satisfy clause (ii) of the definition of Qualifying Capital Replacement Covenant.

SECTION 7. Miscellaneous. (a) This Covenant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

(b) This Covenant shall be binding upon the Corporation and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Covered Debtholders as they exist from time to time (it being understood and agreed by the Corporation that any Person who is a Covered Debtholder at the time such Person acquires or holds Covered Debt shall retain its status as a Covered

Debtholder for so long as the series of long-term indebtedness for borrowed money owned by such Person is Covered Debt and, if such Person initiates a claim or proceeding to enforce its rights under this Covenant after the Corporation has violated its covenants in Section 2 and before the series of long-term indebtedness for money borrowed held by such Person is no longer Covered Debt, such Person’s rights under this Covenant shall not terminate by reason of such series of long-term indebtedness for money borrowed no longer being Covered Debt).

(c) All demands, notices, requests and other communications to the Corporation under this Covenant shall be deemed to have been duly given and made if in writing and (i) if served by personal delivery upon the Corporation, on the day so delivered (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day), (ii) if delivered by registered post or certified mail, return receipt requested, or sent by a national or international courier service, on the date of receipt (or, if such date of receipt is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day), or (iii) if sent by telecopier, on the day telecopied, or if not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day; provided that the telecopy is promptly confirmed by telephone confirmation thereof, in each case to the Corporation at the address set forth below, or at such other address as the Corporation may thereafter notify to Covered Debtholders or post on the Corporation’s website as the address for notices under this Covenant:

continue to defer Distributions, without a breach of its obligations under the transaction documents related to the Qualifying Capital Securities;

(e) may include a provision that, notwithstanding the APM Maximum Obligation and the Preferred Cap for purposes of paying deferred interest, limits the ability of the Corporation to sell shares of Common Stock, Qualifying Warrants, or Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock above an aggregate cap specified in the transaction documents (a “Share Cap”), subject to the Corporation’s agreement to use commercially reasonable efforts to increase the Share Cap (i) only to the extent that it can do so and simultaneously satisfy its future fixed or contingent obligations under other securities and derivative instruments that provide for settlement or payment in shares of Common Stock or (ii) if the Corporation cannot increase the Share Cap as contemplated in the preceding clause, by requesting its Board of Directors to adopt a resolution for shareholder vote at the next annual shareholders meeting occurring at least 4 months after the date on which the Share Cap has been reached to increase the number of shares of its authorized Common Stock for purposes of satisfying its obligations to pay deferred Distributions;

(c) if the Corporation has outstanding more than one class or series of securities under which it is obligated to sell a type of APM Qualifying Securities and apply some part of the proceeds to the payment of deferred 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 deferred Distributions on such securities shall be applied to such securities on a pro rata basis up to the APM Maximum Obligation, Share Cap and the Preferred Cap, as applicable, in proportion to the total amounts that are due on such securities, or on such other basis as the Federal Reserve may approve.
