(a) In connection with its purchase of the Class A Preferred Security, the Class A Preferred Securityholder shall, in exchange for a Class A Preferred Certificate, contribute to the capital of the Company on or prior to the Closing Date, cash in the amount of U.S.$25 (such amount being the Class A Preferred Securityholder’s capital contribution to the Company).

(b) In connection with its purchase of the Class B Preferred Securities, the Trust shall, in exchange for a Class B Preferred Certificate registered in the name of the Property Trustee, contribute to the capital of the Company on the Closing Date an amount in cash equal to the gross proceeds from the sale of the Trust Preferred Securities and the Trust Common Security (such amount being such Person’s capital contribution to the Company).

Payments declared (or deemed declared) and attributable to such Fiscal Year and (ii) thereafter to the Common Securityholders, provided, that if capital payments are declared on the Class A Preferred Security, net income shall first be allocated to the Class A Preferred Securityholder in the amount of such capital payments before any allocations pursuant to (i) or (ii); and

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Tax Matters Partner shall have the power to alter any such allocations for U.S. federal, state, and local income tax purposes if such alteration is necessary to cause such allocations to have “substantial economic effect” (within the meaning of Treasury regulation 1.704-1(b)(2)) or to ensure that such allocations are otherwise in accordance with the interests of the Securityholders (within the meaning of Treasury regulation 1.704-1(b)(3)) determined on the basis of the economic arrangements of the parties as described in this Agreement.

ARTICLE 10
COMMON SECURITY AND PREFERRED SECURITIES

Section 10.01. Common Security and Preferred Securities.

(a) The Securities of the Company shall be divided into the Common Security and Preferred Securities. The Preferred Securities shall be divided into two separate classes representing limited liability company interests in the Company, the Class A Preferred Security and Class B Preferred Securities, and there shall be one class of common securities representing limited liability company interests in the Company, the Common Security.

(b) No Common Securityholder or Preferred Securityholder shall be entitled as a matter of right to subscribe for or purchase, or have any pre-emptive right with respect to, any part of any new or additional issue of Preferred Securities whatsoever, whether now or hereafter authorized and whether issued for cash or other consideration or by way of a dividend or other distribution.

(c) A Preferred Security shall be represented by a certificate which, in the case of a Class B Preferred Security, may be in global form in the circumstances set forth in Section 16.08. The Common Security shall not be evidenced by any certificate or other written instrument, but shall only be evidenced by this Agreement.

(d) Upon issuance of the Preferred Securities as provided in this Agreement, the Preferred Securities so issued shall be deemed to be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

(e) In purchasing the Preferred Securities, each Preferred Securityholder agrees with the Bank and the Company that the Bank, the Company and the Preferred Securityholders shall treat Preferred Securityholders as Holders of the Preferred Securities in the Company for all purposes, and not as the Holders of an interest in the Bank or in any other person.

(f) The Company may pay capital payments on the Common Security only when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors. If any Class B Preferred Securities are outstanding, the Board of Directors will declare capital payments on the Common Security,

(i) with respect to the Upper Tier 2 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities only to the extent the Board of Directors does not declare Capital Payments on the Upper Tier 2 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities at the Stated Rate in full on any Class B Payment Date. The Common Security holders shall receive Capital Payments relating to such Upper Tier 2 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities only to the extent that (x) Capital Payments are not permitted to be declared on such Upper Tier 2 Percentage on any Class B Payment Date at the Stated Rate in full due to an order of the BaFin (or any other relevant regulatory authority) prohibiting the Bank from making any distribution of profits, (y) a declared or deemed declared Capital Payment on the Class B Preferred Securities does not become an Arrears of Payments pursuant to the provisions governing Capital Payments on the Upper Tier 2 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities, and (z) the Company has sufficient Operating Profits. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on each Class B Payment Date, the Common Securityholder will also be entitled to receive a distribution corresponding to the amount of any interest accrued on amounts deposited with the Bank under the Subordinated Deposit Agreement to the extent the Company has sufficient Operating Profits for such distribution; and

(ii) with respect to the Tier 1 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities, only if all Capital Payments on the Tier 1 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities, if any, in respect of the relevant Class B Payment Period have been declared and paid at the Stated Rate in full.

Section 10.02. General Provisions Regarding Preferred Securities.

(a) There is hereby authorized for issuance and sale by the Company securities designated as the Class A Preferred Security and the Class B Preferred Securities. The specific designation, stated rate, liquidation preference amount, redemption terms, voting rights, exchange limitations and other powers, preferences and special rights and limitations of the Class A Preferred Security and the Class B Preferred Securities are set forth in Section 10.03 (with respect to the Class A Preferred Security) and in Section 10.04 (with respect to the Class B Preferred Securities).

(b) The Preferred Securities shall rank senior to all other Securities in respect of the right to receive capital payments including Capital Payments or other distributions and the right to receive payments out of the assets of the Company upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, winding-up or termination of the Company in accordance with the provisions hereof. All Preferred Securities redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company shall be canceled.

(c) The Class A Preferred Security shall rank senior to the Class B Preferred Securities in respect of the right to receive payments out of the assets of the Company upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, winding-up or termination of the Company in accordance with the provisions hereof, provided that any payments made by the Guarantor pursuant to the Class B Preferred Guarantee shall be payable by the Company solely to the Class B Preferred Securityholders.

Section 10.03. Class A Preferred Security.

(a) Designation. There shall hereby be designated as a class of Preferred Securities one Class A Preferred Security (the “Class A Preferred Security”). The Class A Preferred Security shall have an aggregate liquidation preference amount of U.S.$25. The Class A Preferred Security, at any time outstanding, shall be owned by the Bank or one or more Qualified Subsidiaries.

(b) Class A Capital Payment Rights. The Class A Preferred Securityholder shall be entitled to receive when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of assets of the Company legally available therefor, capital payments in cash or in assets of the Company. The Board of Directors is only authorized to declare capital payments on the Class A Preferred Security, and it is the Company’s intent that the Class A Preferred Securityholder will only receive capital payments in respect of Class B Payment Periods commencing on and after the date on which the Tier 1 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities exceeds zero, and then only to the extent that (i) Capital Payments are not declared on the Tier 1 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities and paid at the Stated Rate in full on any such Class B Payment Date, and (ii) the Company has sufficient Operating Profits. It is the intention of the Company not to pay capital payments on the Class A Preferred Securities.

Furthermore, the payment of capital payments on the Class A Preferred Security is not a condition to the payment of Capital Payments on the Class B Preferred Securities.

(d) Voting Rights. The Class A Preferred Securityholders shall not be entitled to vote other than as provided for elsewhere in this Agreement.

(e) Liquidation Distribution. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, winding-up or termination of the Company, the Class A Preferred Securityholders shall be entitled to receive the Obligations (including interest accrued and unpaid thereon) as their liquidation distribution. For the avoidance of doubt, the Class A Preferred Securityholders shall not be entitled to share in any payments made by the Guarantor pursuant to the Class B Preferred Guarantee.

Section 10.04. Class B Preferred Securities.

(a) Designation. There shall hereby be designated as a class of Preferred Securities the Class B Preferred Securities (the “Class B Preferred Securities”). The Class B Preferred Securities shall have a liquidation preference amount of U.S.$25 per Class B Preferred Security (the “Class B Liquidation Preference Amount”). The Class B Preferred Securities shall be issued in an aggregate Class B Liquidation Preference Amount of U.S.$1,265,000,025.

(b) Class B Capital Payment Rights.

(i) Class B Preferred Securityholders shall be entitled to receive when, as and if declared (or deemed declared) by the Board of Directors out of assets of the Company legally available therefor, Capital Payments in cash on the Class B Preferred Securities held by them, payable quarterly in arrears on March 30, June 30, September 30 and December 30 of each year, (each a “Class B Payment Date”). Capital Payments payable on each Class B Payment Date shall accrue from and including the immediately preceding Class B Payment Date (or May 9, 2008 with respect to the Capital Payment payable June 30, 2008) to but excluding the relevant Class B Payment Date (each a “Class B Payment Period”). Capital Payments with respect to the Upper Tier 2 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities shall be cumulative and Capital Payments with respect to the Tier 1 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities shall be non-cumulative as provided in Section 10.04(b)(vi) below.

(ii) For each Class B Payment Period Capital Payments shall accrue on the Class B Liquidation Preference Amount of each Class B Preferred Security at a fixed rate of 8.05% per annum (the “Stated Rate”), calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

(iii) If any Class B Payment Date or Class B Redemption Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, payment of all amounts otherwise payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, without adjustment, interest or further payment as a result of such delay in payment.

(iv) Capital Payments on the Class B Preferred Securities shall be paid out of amounts received by the Company on the Obligations held by the Company from time to time.

(v) Each Capital Payment declared (or deemed to be declared) shall be payable to the Holders of record as they appear on the Register on the corresponding record date. The record dates for the Class B Preferred Securities shall be (A) for those Class B Preferred Securities held by the Property Trustee (regardless of their own form), so long as the Trust Preferred Securities remain in book-entry form, and for Book-Entry Class B Preferred Certificates, the end of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the relevant Class B Payment Date and (B) in all other cases, the end of business on the 15^th Business Day prior to the relevant Class B Payment Date.

(vi) Capital Payments on Class B Preferred Securities.

(A) The provisions of this Section 10.04(b)(vi)(A) shall apply solely with respect to the Upper Tier 2 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities, and shall have no force or effect with respect to the Tier 1 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities.

(1) The right of Class B Preferred Securityholders to receive Capital Payments on the Upper Tier 2 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities is cumulative to the extent provided herein. If the Board of Directors does not declare a Capital Payment on the Upper Tier 2 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities in respect of any Class B Payment Period (and no such Capital Payment is deemed to be declared), Class B Preferred Securityholders shall have no right to receive a Capital Payment on the Upper Tier 2 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities in respect of such Class B Payment Period, and the Company shall have no obligation to pay a Capital Payment on the Upper Tier 2 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities in respect of such Class B Payment Period, whether or not Capital Payments on the Upper Tier 2 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities are declared and paid in respect of any future Class B Payment Period; however, any such Capital Payment or portion thereof not declared (or deemed to have been declared) by the Company in respect of any such Class B Payment Period shall be deferred.

(2) Capital Payments on the Upper Tier 2 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities shall only be authorized to be declared, and declared (or deemed declared) Capital Payments are only authorized to be paid, in each case on any Class B Payment Date to the extent that (i) the Company has an amount of Operating Profits for such Class B Payment Period ending on the day immediately preceding such Class B Payment Date at least equal to the amount of Capital Payments on the Class B Preferred Securities for such Class B Payment Period and (ii) the Bank has an amount of Distributable Profits for the preceding fiscal year for which audited unconsolidated financial statements are available at least equal to the aggregate amount of such Capital Payments on the Class B Preferred Securities and capital payments or dividend or other distributions payable on Parity Capital Securities, and Preferred Tier 1 Capital Securities, if any, pro rata based on such

Distributable Profits; provided, however, that if the amount of such Distributable Profits is insufficient to pay all such amounts on the Upper Tier 2 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities, the Tier 1 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities, the Parity Capital Securities and the Preferred Tier 1 Capital Securities, the Company is nevertheless authorized to declare Capital Payment on the Upper Tier 2 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities. In the case of insufficient Distributable Profits, however, the portion of such Capital Payments that cannot be paid will be deferred and will thereupon constitute Arrears of Payments.

In determining the availability of sufficient Distributable Profits of the Bank related to any fiscal year to permit Capital Payments to be declared with respect to the Upper Tier 2 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities, any Capital Payments already paid on the Upper Tier 2 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities during the succeeding fiscal year of the Bank and any capital payments, dividend or other distributions already paid during the succeeding fiscal year of the Bank on Parity Capital Securities, the Tier 1 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities and Preferred Tier 1 Capital Securities, if any, on the basis of such Distributable Profits for such fiscal year, will be deducted from such Distributable Profits.

(a) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries declares or pays any dividend or makes any other payment or distribution on any Tier 2 Junior Securities (other than payments on Tier 2 Junior Securities issued by wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Bank, when such Tier 2 Junior Securities are held exclusively by the Bank or by any of its other wholly-owned subsidiaries), then the Company shall be deemed to have declared Capital Payments on the Upper Tier 2 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities at the Stated Rate pro rata (in the same proportion that the payment that was made on such Tier 2 Junior Securities had to the amount that was payable on such Tier 2 Junior Securities at the respective times of such payment):

	(i)		payable on each of the next four Class B Payment Dates, if the dividend, distribution or other payment on the Tier 2 Junior Securities is paid in respect of an annual period;

	(ii)		payable on each of the next two Class B Payment Dates, if the dividend, distribution or other payment on the Tier 2 Junior Securities is paid in respect of a semi-annual period; and

	(iii)		payable on the next Class B Payment Date, if the dividend, distribution or other payment on the Tier 2 Junior Securities is paid in respect of a quarterly period.

(b) Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries declares or pays any dividends or makes any other payment or distribution on any Parity Capital Securities, the Tier 1 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities or Preferred Tier 1 Capital Securities (other than a payment in kind of ordinary shares of

common stock or Junior Securities or payments on Preferred Tier 1 Securities issued by wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Bank, when such Preferred Tier 1 Securities are held exclusively by the Bank or by any of its other wholly-owned subsidiaries), then the Company shall be deemed to have declared Capital Payments on the Upper Tier 2 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities at the Stated Rate pro rata (in the same proportion that the payment that was made on any such Parity Capital Securities, the Tier 1 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities or Preferred Tier 1 Capital Securities, as applicable, had to the amount that was payable on such Parity Capital Securities, the Tier 1 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities or Preferred Tier 1 Capital Securities, as applicable, at the respective times of such payment):

	(i)		payable on each of the next four Class B Payment Dates, if the dividend, distribution or other payment on the Parity Capital Securities, the Tier 1 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities or Preferred Tier 1 Capital Securities is paid in respect of an annual period;

	(ii)		payable on each of the next two Class B Payment Dates, if the dividend, distribution or other payment on the Parity Capital Securities, the Tier 1 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities or Preferred Tier Capital 1 Securities is paid in respect of a semi-annual period; and

	(iii)		payable on the next Class B Payment Date, if the dividend, distribution or other payment on the Parity Capital Securities, the Tier 1 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities or Preferred Tier 1 Capital Securities is paid in respect of a quarterly period.

If the Capital Payment on the Upper Tier 2 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities so deemed declared with respect to any Class B Payment Date is only partial, the portion of such Capital Payment that is not so deemed declared will be deferred and will thereupon constitute Arrears of Payments.

(c) If the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries redeems, repurchases or otherwise acquires any Parity Capital Securities, Tier 2 Junior Securities or Preferred Tier 1 Capital Securities (other than Parity Capital Securities, Tier 2 Junior Securities or Preferred Tier 1 Capital Securities issued by wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Bank, when such Parity Capital Securities, Tier 2 Junior Securities or Preferred Tier 1 Capital Securities are held exclusively by the Bank or any of the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries) for any consideration (except by conversion into or exchange for common stock of the Bank), or any moneys are paid to or made available for a sinking fund for, or redemption of, any such securities, other than in connection with

(i)

transactions effected by or for the account of customers of the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries or in connection with the

			distribution, trading or market-making in respect of such securities,

	(ii)		the satisfaction by the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries of its obligations under any employee benefit plans or similar arrangements with or for the benefit of employees, officers, directors or consultants, including hedging transactions effected to cover exposure to unvested grants under employee benefit plans,

	(iii)		a reclassification of the capital stock of the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries or the exchange or conversion of one class or series of such capital stock for another class or series of such capital stock, or

	(iv)		the purchase of fractional interests in shares of the capital stock of the Bank or any of its majority-owned Subsidiaries pursuant to the provisions of any security being converted into or exchanged for such capital stock,

the Company shall be deemed to have declared Capital Payments on the Upper Tier 2 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities at the Stated Rate in full payable on each of the next four Class B Payment Dates contemporaneously with and/or immediately following the date on which such redemption, repurchase or other acquisition occurred.

Any Capital Payments on the Upper Tier 2 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities so deemed to be declared pursuant to clauses (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 10.04(b)(vi)(A)(2) shall (i) only be authorized to be paid on any Class B Payment Date to the extent the Company has an amount of Operating Profits for the related Class B Payment Period at least equal to the amount of Capital Payments so deemed declared and the amount of Capital Payments declared or deemed declared on the Tier 1 Percentage, if any, of the Class B Preferred Securities with respect to such Class B Payment Period, and (ii) to the extent not authorized to be paid pursuant to clause (i) shall not be considered due and payable for any purposes hereunder or under the Class B Preferred Guarantee, except with respect to such Capital Payments deemed declared after the Trust is dissolved and the Class B Preferred Securities have been distributed to the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities pursuant to the Trust Agreement, which shall be considered due and payable for purposes of the Class B Preferred Guarantee.

(3) If and to the extent the Company declares (or is deemed to have declared) a Capital Payment in respect of the Upper Tier 2 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities for any Class B Payment Period under circumstances where the Distributable Profits of the Bank for the most recent preceding fiscal year are insufficient to pay such Capital Payment in full as well as capital payments, dividends or other distributions or payments then due on Parity Capital Securities, the Tier 1 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities and Preferred Tier 1 Capital Securities, payment of all or a portion of such Capital Payment on the Upper Tier 2 Percentage of the Class B

Preferred Securities will be deferred. The portions of such Capital Payments that cannot be paid and have been deferred in such case, together with the portions of Capital Payments that were not declared or deemed to have been declared in respect of such Upper Tier 2 Percentage for any Class B Payment Period and therefore deferred, will be cumulative and will collectively constitute arrears of payments with respect to the Upper Tier 2 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities (“Arrears of Payments”). Arrears of Payments will not themselves bear interest.

The Company will pay outstanding Arrears of Payments on the Upper Tier 2 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities on the earliest of:

(a) the first Class B Payment Date after such deferral to the extent that for the most recent preceding fiscal year for which audited financial statements are available, the Distributable Profits of the Bank are in an amount exceeding the aggregate of (x) Capital Payments on the Upper Tier 2 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities due on such Class B Payment Date, (y) capital payments, dividends or other distributions or payments on Parity Capital Securities, if any, due in respect of such fiscal year, and (z) Capital Payments, dividends or other distributions or payments on the Tier 1 Percentage, if any, of the Class B Preferred Securities and Preferred Tier 1 Capital Securities, if any, due in respect of such fiscal year. In such case, such Arrears of Payments on the Upper Tier 2 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities and any deferred payments on Parity Capital Securities that have been deferred in accordance with their terms (“Deferred Payments”), will be paid pro rata on the basis of Distributable Profits for such preceding fiscal year, with any Arrears of Payments that cannot be repaid pursuant to the foregoing on such Class B Payment Date continuing to be deferred and to constitute Arrears of Payments;

(b) any Class B Redemption Date, in the full amount of outstanding Arrears of Payments; and

(c) the date on which an order is made for the winding up, liquidation or dissolution of the Company or the Bank (other than for the purposes of or pursuant to an amalgamation, reorganization or restructuring while solvent, where the continuing entity assumes substantially all of the assets and obligations of the Company or the Bank, as the case may be), in the full amount of outstanding Arrears of Payments.

(4) If, as a result of the deferral of Capital Payments on the Upper Tier 2 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities, the Company would receive payments of interest on the Obligations that would exceed Capital Payments declared (or deemed declared) and paid on the Upper Tier 2 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities on the corresponding Class B Payment Date (in each such case, “Excess Interest Amounts”), the Bank will not pay such Excess Interest Amounts to the Company in cash but will instead, without any instruction or other action being taken by the Company, credit such Excess Interest Amount to the account of the Company at the Bank as a

subordinated deposit in the Bank, subject to the Subordinated Deposit Agreement. The Subordinated Deposit Agreement will provide that the deposit account at the Bank will bear interest at a rate of 0.75% per annum. Any interest accumulating in such deposit account will be payable to the holder of the Common Securityholder under the circumstances described herein. The Subordinated Deposit Agreement will provide that, subject to the subordination provisions of the Subordinated Deposit Agreement, the subordinated deposit outstanding under the Subordinated Deposit Agreement will be terminated, and such deposit repaid to the Company, at such time and to the extent that the Company is required to pay Arrears of Payments. The subordinated deposit outstanding at any time pursuant to the Subordinated Deposit Agreement will be subordinated such that the obligations of the Bank under the Subordinated Deposit Agreement upon the bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation of the Bank will be (i) subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all indebtedness and other liabilities of the Bank to its creditors (including subordinated liabilities), except those which by their terms rank on parity with or are subordinated to the Bank’s obligations under the Subordinated Deposit Agreement, (ii) on parity with the most senior ranking preference shares of the Bank, if any, and any obligations or instruments of the Bank which by their terms rank on parity with such preference shares and (iii) senior to the Junior Securities.

(5) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.04(b)(vi)(A), however, Capital Payments on the Upper Tier 2 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities shall not be payable on any Class B Payment Date (or a date set for redemption or liquidation) if on such date there is in effect an order of the BaFin (or any other relevant regulatory authority) prohibiting the Bank from making any distribution of profits.

(6) The Company shall have no obligation to make up, at any time, any Capital Payments on the Upper Tier 2 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities (including Arrears of Payments) not paid in full by the Company as a result of insufficient Operating Profits of the Company or an order of the BaFin.

(B) The provisions of this Section 10.04(b)(vi)(B) shall apply solely with respect to the Tier 1 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities, if any, and shall have no force or effect with respect to any Upper Tier 2 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities.

(1) The right of Class B Preferred Securityholders to receive Capital Payments on the Tier 1 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities is non-cumulative. If the Board of Directors does not declare a Capital Payment on the Tier 1 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities in respect of any Class B Payment Period (and no such Capital Payment is deemed to be declared), Class B Preferred Securityholders shall have no right to receive a Capital Payment on the Tier 1 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities in respect of such Class B Payment Period, and the Company shall have no obligation to pay a Capital Payment on the Tier 1 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities in respect of such Class B Payment Period, whether or not Capital Payments on the Tier 1 Percentage of the Class B

Preferred Securities are declared (or deemed declared) and paid in respect of any future Class B Payment Period.

(2) Capital Payments on the Tier 1 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities shall only be authorized to be declared, and declared (or deemed declared) Capital Payments are only authorized to be paid, in each case on any Class B Payment Date to the extent that (i) the Company has an amount of Operating Profits for such Class B Payment Period ending on the day immediately preceding such Class B Payment Date at least equal to the amount of Capital Payments on the Class B Preferred Securities for such Class B Payment Period and (ii) the Bank has an amount of Distributable Profits for the preceding fiscal year of the Bank for which audited unconsolidated financial statements are available at least equal to the aggregate amount of such Capital Payments on the Tier 1 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities and capital payments or dividends or other distributions payable on Preferred Tier 1 Securities, if any, pro rata, on the basis of such Distributable Profits; provided, that in determining the availability of sufficient Distributable Profits of the Bank related to any fiscal year to permit Capital Payments to be declared with respect to the Tier 1 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities, any Capital Payments already paid on the Tier 1 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities and any capital payments, dividend or other distributions already paid during the succeeding fiscal year of the Bank on Preferred Tier 1 Securities, if any, on the basis of such Distributable Profits for such fiscal year will be deducted from such Distributable Profits; provided, further that:

(a) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries declares or pays any dividends or makes any other payment or distribution on any Preferred Tier 1 Securities (other than a payment in kind of ordinary shares of common stock or other Junior Securities or payments on Preferred Tier 1 Securities issued by wholly-owned Subsidiaries of the Bank, when such Preferred Tier 1 Securities are held exclusively by the Bank or by any of its other wholly-owned Subsidiaries), then the Company shall be deemed to have declared Capital Payments on the Tier 1 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities at the Stated Rate pro rata (in the same proportion that the payment that was made on the Preferred Tier 1 Security had to the amount that was payable on such Preferred Tier 1 Security at the time of such payment):

	(i)		payable on each of the next four Class B Payment Dates, if the dividend, distribution or other payment on the Preferred Tier 1 Security is paid in respect of an annual period;

	(ii)		payable on each of the next two Class B Payment Dates, if the dividend, distribution or other payment on the Preferred Tier 1 Security is paid in respect of a semi-annual period; or

(iii)

payable on the next Class B Payment Date, if the dividend, distribution or other payment on the Preferred Tier 1 Security is paid in respect of a quarterly period.

(b) Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries declares or pays any dividends or makes any other payment or distribution on its Junior Securities (other than payments in kind of ordinary shares of common stock or other Junior Securities or payments on Junior Securities issued by wholly-owned Subsidiaries of the Bank, when such Junior Securities are held exclusively by the Bank or by any of its other wholly-owned Subsidiaries), then the Company shall be deemed to have declared Capital Payments on the Tier 1 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities at the Stated Rate in full:

	(i)		payable on each of the next four Class B Payment Dates, if the dividend, distribution or other payment on the Junior Security is paid in respect of an annual period;

	(ii)		payable on each of the next two Class B Payment Dates, if the dividend, distribution or other payment on the Junior Security is paid in respect of a semi-annual period; and

	(iii)		payable on the next Class B Payment Date, if the dividend, distribution or other payment on the Junior Security is paid in respect of a quarterly period.

(c) If the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries redeems, repurchases or otherwise acquires any Junior Securities or Preferred Tier 1 Securities (other than Junior Securities or Preferred Tier 1 Securities issued by wholly-owned Subsidiaries of the Bank, when such Junior Securities or Preferred Tier 1 Securities are held exclusively by the Bank or by any of its other wholly-owned Subsidiaries), for any consideration (except by conversion into or exchange for ordinary shares of common stock of the Bank or other Junior Securities) or any moneys are paid to or made available for a sinking fund for, or for redemption of, any such securities, other than in connection with:

	(i)		transactions effected by or for the account of customers of the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries or in connection with the distribution, trading or market-making in respect of such securities,

	(ii)		the satisfaction by the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries of its obligations under any employee benefit plans or similar arrangements with or for the benefit of employees, officers, directors or

			consultants, including hedging transactions effected to cover exposure of yet unvested grants under employee benefit plans,

	(iii)		a reclassification of the capital stock of the Bank or any of its Subsidiaries or the exchange or conversion of one class or series of such capital stock for another class or series of such capital stock, or

	(iv)		the purchase of fractional interests in shares of the capital stock of the Bank or any of its majority-owned Subsidiaries pursuant to the provisions of any security being converted into or exchanged for such capital stock,

the Company shall be deemed to have declared Capital Payments on the Tier 1 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities at the Stated Rate in full payable on each of the first four Class B Payment Dates falling contemporaneously with and/or immediately following the date on which such redemption, repurchase or other acquisition occurred.

Any Capital Payments on the Tier 1 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities so deemed to be declared pursuant to clauses (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 10.04(b)(vi)(B)(2) shall (i) only be authorized to be paid on any Class B Payment Date to the extent the Company has an amount of Operating Profits for the related Class B Payment Period at least equal to the amount of Capital Payments so deemed declared and (ii) to the extent not authorized to be paid pursuant to clause (i) shall not be considered due and payable for any purposes hereunder or under the Class B Preferred Guarantee, except with respect to such Capital Payments on the Tier 1 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities deemed declared after the Trust is dissolved and the Class B Preferred Securities have been distributed to the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities pursuant to the Trust Agreement, which shall be considered due and payable for purposes of the Class B Preferred Guarantee.

(3) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.04(b)(vi)(B), however, Capital Payments on the Tier 1 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities shall not be payable on any Class B Payment Date (or a date set for redemption or liquidation) if on such date there is in effect an order of the BaFin (or any other relevant regulatory authority) prohibiting the Bank from making any distribution of profits (including to the holders of Preferred Tier 1 Securities, if any such Preferred Tier 1 Securities are then outstanding).

(4) The Company shall have no obligation to make up, at any time, any Capital Payments on the Tier 1 Percentage of the Class B Securities not paid in full by the Company as a result of insufficient Operating Profits of the Company, insufficient Distributable Profits of the Bank or an order of the BaFin.

(c) Additional Amounts. The payment of Capital Payments on the Class B Preferred Securities, and any amount payable upon redemption thereof or in liquidation, shall be made without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties or governmental charges of any nature whatsoever imposed, levied or collected by or on behalf of the United States or Germany (or any jurisdiction from which payments are made) or, during any period in which any Substitute Obligations are outstanding, the jurisdiction of residence of any obligor on such Substitute Obligations (or any jurisdiction from which payments are made) (each a “Relevant Jurisdiction”) or by or on behalf of any political subdivision or authority therein or thereof having the power to tax (collectively, “Withholding Taxes”), unless such deduction or withholding is required by law. In such event, the Company shall pay as additional Capital Payments (or Arrears of Payments, as the case may be), such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) to the Class B Preferred Securityholders as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received by the Class B Preferred Securityholders and the Trust Preferred Securityholders after such deduction or withholding for or on account of Withholding Taxes shall equal the amounts that otherwise would have been received had no such deduction or withholding been required, provided, however, that no such Additional Amounts shall be payable in respect of the Class B Preferred Securities

(i) in respect of each portion of the Upper Tier 2 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities for Class B Payment Periods prior to the Class B Payment Period during which the respective Tier 1 Qualification Election, if any, occurred, with respect to such portions, if and to the extent that the Company is unable to pay because such payment would exceed the Distributable Profits of the Bank for the fiscal year in respect of which the relevant Capital Payments are payable (after subtracting from such Distributable Profits the amount of the Capital Payments on the Upper Tier 2 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities and any payments on Parity Capital Securities, the Tier 1 Percentage, if any, of the Class B Preferred Securities and Preferred Tier 1 Capital Securities, if any, already paid on the basis of such Distributable Profits on or prior to the date on which such Additional Amounts will be payable), in which case such Additional Amounts shall be deferred and will thereupon constitute Arrears of Payments;

(ii) in respect of each portion of the Tier 1 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities for Class B Payment Periods from and including the Payment Period during which the respective Tier 1 Qualification Election if any, occurred, with respect to such portion, if and to the extent that the Company is unauthorized to pay because of insufficient Distributable Profits of the Bank for the preceding fiscal year (after subtracting from such Distributable Profits the amounts of Capital Payments on the Tier 1 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities and the dividends and other distributions or payments on the Preferred Tier 1 Securities, if any, already paid on the basis of such Distributable Profits on or prior to the date on which such Additional Amounts will be payable);

(iii) with respect to any Withholding Taxes that are payable by reason of a Holder or beneficial owner of the Class B Preferred Securities (other than the Trust) having some connection with the Relevant Jurisdiction other than by reason only of the mere holding or beneficial ownership of Class B Preferred Securities;

(iv) with respect to any Withholding Taxes which are deducted or withheld pursuant to (i) European Council Directive 2003/48/EC or any other European Union Directive or Regulation implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of 26-27 November 2000 on the taxation of savings income, or (ii) any international treaty or understanding entered into for the purpose of facilitating cooperation in the reporting and collection of savings income and to which (x) the United States, and (y) the European Union or Germany are parties, or (iii) any provision of law implementing, or complying with, or introduced to conform with, such Directive, Regulation, treaty or understanding; or

(v) to the extent such deduction or withholding can be avoided or reduced if the Holder or beneficial owner of Class B Preferred Securities makes a declaration of non-residence or other similar claim for exemption to the relevant tax authority or complies with any reasonable certification, documentation, information or other reporting requirement imposed by the relevant tax authority, provided, however, that this exclusion shall not apply if the certification, information, documentation or other reporting requirement would be materially more onerous (in form, procedure or substance of information required to be disclosed) to the Holder or beneficial owner of Class B Preferred Securities than comparable information or other reporting requirements imposed under U.S. tax law, regulation and administrative practice (such as IRS Forms W-8 and W-9).

(d) Redemption Terms.

(i) On June 30, 2018 (the “Initial Redemption Date”) and on any Class B Payment Date falling on or after the Initial Redemption Date, the Class B Preferred Securities shall be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole but not in part, at a redemption price per Class B Preferred Security equal to the Class B Liquidation Preference Amount, plus any accrued and unpaid Capital Payments in respect of the then current Class B Payment Period to but excluding the date of redemption (the “Class B Redemption Date”), plus, in respect of the Upper Tier 2 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities, all outstanding Arrears of Payments, if any, on such portions, plus Additional Amounts, if any, on such portion (the sum of which is the “Redemption Price”), provided that, the Company may exercise its right to redeem the Class B Preferred Securities only if (A) the Company has given 30 calendar days’ prior notice (or such longer period as may be required by the relevant regulatory authorities) to the Class B Preferred Securityholders of its intention to redeem the Class B Preferred Securities on the Class B Redemption Date and (B) the Company has obtained any required regulatory approvals.

(ii) The Company shall have the right, upon the occurrence of a Company Special Redemption Event, to redeem the Class B Preferred Securities at any time upon at least 30 calendar days’ prior notice, in whole but not in part, at the Redemption Price, subject to the Company having obtained any required regulatory approvals.

(iii) In the event that payment of the Redemption Price in respect of any Class B Preferred Securities is improperly withheld or refused and not paid, Capital Payments on such Class B Preferred Securities shall continue to accrue at the Stated Rate from the designated Class B Redemption Date to the date of actual payment of the Redemption Price, in which case the actual payment date shall be

considered the Class B Redemption Date for purposes of calculating the Redemption Price.

(iv) No redemption of the Class B Preferred Securities shall take place for any reason unless on the Class B Redemption Date (i) the Company has an amount of cash funds (by reason of payments on the Obligations or the Class B Preferred Guarantee) at least equal to the Redemption Price, plus Additional Amounts, if any, (ii) the Company has an amount of Operating Profits for the current Class B Payment Period at least equal to the Capital Payments on the Class B Preferred Securities and Arrears of Payments, if applicable, accrued and unpaid as of the Class B Redemption Date, plus Additional Amounts, if any, (iii) the Bank has an amount of Distributable Profits for the preceding fiscal year of the Bank for which audited unconsolidated financial statements are available at least equal to the Capital Payments on the Class B Preferred Securities accrued and unpaid as of the Class B Redemption Date, plus the aggregate amount of Capital Payments (including any Arrears of Payments) on the Class B Preferred Securities theretofore paid, plus any Additional Amounts plus (x) if the Upper Tier 2 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities exceeds zero, capital payments payable on Parity Capital Securities and Preferred Tier 1 Capital Securities, or (y) if the Upper Tier 2 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities is zero, capital payments or dividends payable on any Preferred Tier 1 Securities, if any, in each case on the basis of Distributable Profits for such preceding year, and (iv) no order of the BaFin (or any other relevant regulatory authority) is in effect prohibiting the Bank from making any distribution of profits (including to the holders of Preferred Tier 1 Securities, if any).

No redemption of Class B Preferred Securities, whether on a Class B Payment Date, on or after the Initial Redemption Date or upon the occurrence of a Company Special Redemption Event, shall require the vote or consent of any of the Class B Preferred Securityholders.

(e) Redemption Procedures.

(i) An irrevocable notice of redemption of Class B Preferred Securities (a “Redemption Notice”) shall be given by the Board of Directors on behalf of the Company, in the manner prescribed in Section 19.09 hereof, to each Class B Preferred Securityholder at least 30 calendar days before the proposed Class B Redemption Date, or such other time period or in such manner as may be required by the relevant regulatory authorities. A Redemption Notice shall be deemed to be given on the day such notice is first delivered, telecopied or mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to Class B Preferred Securityholders. Each Redemption Notice shall be addressed to the Class B Preferred Securityholders at the address of each such Holder appearing in the Register. No defect in the Redemption Notice or in the delivery thereof with respect to any Class B Preferred Securityholder shall affect the validity of the redemption proceedings with respect to any other Class B Preferred Securityholder.

(ii) By 9:00 a.m. New York City time on the Class B Redemption Date, the Company shall (A) with respect to Book-Entry Class B Preferred Certificates, irrevocably deposit with DTC funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price thereon together with irrevocable instructions to DTC to make such payment or (B) with respect to Definitive Class B Preferred Securities, deposit with

the Paying Agent funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price thereon together with irrevocable instructions to the Paying Agent to make such payment by check mailed to the relevant Class B Preferred Securityholder (at its address in the Register on the Class B Redemption Date) upon surrender of its Class B Preferred Certificates; provided, however, that for so long as the Trust owns the Class B Preferred Securities (which shall be held of record in the name of the Property Trustee for the benefit of the Holders or beneficial owners of the Trust Preferred Securities and the Holder of the Trust Common Security), payment of the Redemption Price shall be made by wire in same day funds to the Property Trustee by 9:00 a.m., New York City time on the Class B Redemption Date. Upon satisfaction of the foregoing conditions, all rights of Class B Preferred Securityholders so called for redemption shall cease on the Class B Redemption Date, except the right of the Class B Preferred Securityholders to receive the applicable Redemption Price (without interest thereon from and after the Class B Redemption Date).

If the Class B Redemption Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, payment of all amounts otherwise payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, without adjustment, interest or further payment as a result of such delay in payment.

(f) Liquidation Terms

(i) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, winding up or termination of the Company, each Class B Preferred Securityholder shall, subject to the limitations described herein, be entitled to receive the Class B Liquidation Preference Amount of U.S.$25 per Class B Preferred Security, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid Capital Payments in respect of the then current Class B Payment Period to but excluding the date of liquidation, and Arrears of Payments and Additional Amounts, if any. Such entitlement shall arise following the liquidation distribution of the Obligations to the Class A Preferred Securityholders and before any distribution of assets is made to Common Securityholders.

(ii) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, winding up or termination of the Trust not involving redemption of the Class B Preferred Securities or the liquidation of the Company, the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities shall be entitled to receive Class B Preferred Securities with a corresponding Class B Liquidation Preference Amount.

(g) Additional Capital and Indebtedness. For so long as any of the Class B Preferred Securities are outstanding, the Company shall not issue, without the unanimous consent of all the Class B Preferred Securityholders (excluding any Class B Preferred Securities held by the Bank or any of its Affiliates), any additional equity securities ranking prior to or pari passu with the Class B Preferred Securities as to periodic distribution rights or rights on liquidation or dissolution, or incur any indebtedness for money borrowed.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will, from time to time on or prior to June 30, 2013, and without the consent of the holders of the Class B Preferred Securities, issue additional Class B Preferred Securities having the same terms and conditions as the Class B Preferred Securities in all respects except for the issue date,

the date from which Capital Payments accrue on the Class B Preferred Securities, the issue price, and any other deviations required for compliance with applicable law, so as to form a single series with the Class B Preferred Securities, upon notice from the Bank and in consideration for Obligations of a principal amount equal to the aggregate liquidation preference amount of such additional Class B Preferred Securities and having the same terms and conditions as the Initial Obligation in all respects except for the issue date, the date from which interest accrues on such Obligations, the issue price and any other deviations required for compliance with applicable law.

(h) Class B Preferred Guarantee. To the extent set forth in the Class B Preferred Guarantee, the Guarantor has agreed to pay the Class B Preferred Securityholders, as and when due, the Class B Preferred Guarantee Payments. As set forth in the Class B Preferred Guarantee, the obligations of the Guarantor under the Class B Preferred Guarantee shall be several and independent of the Company’s obligations hereunder. The Class B Preferred Securityholders, by acceptance of such Class B Preferred Securities, acknowledge and agree to the subordination provisions in, and other terms of, the Class B Preferred Guarantee.

(i) Rights of Holders.

(i) If for four consecutive Class B Payment Periods, Capital Payments on the Class B Preferred Securities and any Additional Amounts in respect of such Capital Payments have not been paid at the Stated Rate in full by the Company or by the Guarantor under the Class B Preferred Guarantee, the Class B Preferred Securityholders shall be entitled to appoint two Independent Directors to the Board of Directors. Such Independent Directors shall be elected by ordinary resolution, passed by a Majority of the Class B Preferred Securities entitled to vote thereon, as determined in accordance with Section 11.01, present in person or by proxy at a separate general meeting of such Class B Preferred Securityholders convened for that purpose (which shall be called at the request of any Class B Preferred Securityholder entitled to vote thereon). Any Independent Director so appointed shall vacate office if, in such Independent Director’s sole determination, Capital Payments have been paid regularly at the Stated Rate in full by the Company or the Guarantor under the Class B Preferred Guarantee or the Trust Preferred Guarantee for one calendar year. Any such Independent Director may be removed by, and shall not be removed except by, the vote of Holders of a Majority of the Class B Preferred Securities entitled to vote thereon, at a meeting of the Company’s Securityholders or of the Class B Preferred Securityholders entitled to vote thereon, called for that purpose.

(ii) The Holders of a Majority of the Class B Preferred Securities have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting of any proceeding for any remedy available to the Manager Trustee in respect of enforcing the rights of the Class B Preferred Securities under this Agreement, or direct the exercise of any trust or power conferred upon the Manager Trustee under this Agreement.

(iii) If the Manager Trustee fails to enforce its rights under the Agreement after a Class B Preferred Securityholder has made a written request, such Class B Preferred Securityholder may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, institute a legal proceeding directly against the Company to enforce the Manager

Trustee’s rights under this Agreement, without first instituting a legal proceeding against the Manager Trustee or any other person or entity.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company has failed to pay the Redemption Price with respect to Class B Preferred Securities duly called for redemption, any Capital Payments declared (or deemed declared), including Additional Amounts, if applicable, that are due and owing, a Class B Preferred Securityholder may take any action authorized by this Agreement and may directly institute a proceeding in such Class B Preferred Securityholder’s own name against the Company for enforcement of this Agreement for such payment or against the Guarantor for enforcement of the Class B Preferred Guarantee in respect of such payment.

(j) Ratings and Clearance. If the Class B Preferred Securities are distributed to Holders of Trust Preferred Securities in connection with the involuntary or voluntary dissolution, winding up or liquidation of the Trust, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Class B Preferred Securities (i) to be assigned the rating at which the Trust Preferred Securities are then rated and (ii) to be eligible for settlement and clearance through DTC and its participants, if the Trust Preferred Securities are then eligible for clearance through DTC and consequently to be issued in the form of one or more global certificates registered in the name of DTC as the depository or its nominee, and (iii) to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange or on such other national securities exchange as the Trust Preferred Securities are then listed or quoted.

(k) Tier 1 Qualification Election. At any time on one or more occasions on or before June 30, 2013, the Bank in its sole discretion may give notice to the Company that, as of the date of such notice, the Bank is making an election (each, a “Tier 1 Qualification Election”) to treat a percentage of each and every Class B Preferred Security as Tier 1 Regulatory Capital and that as a consequence of such Tier 1 Qualification Election, beginning with the first day of the Class B Payment Period in which such Tier 1 Qualification Election occurs, the determination of Capital Payments and related matters with respect to such percentage of each and every Class B Preferred Security is changed to the terms described in this Agreements as applicable to the Tier 1 Percentage of Class B Preferred Securities; provided, that the Bank may elect this qualification only in increments of 10% of the liquidation preference amount of the Class B Preferred Securities.

Any and each notice of a Tier 1 Qualification Election must specify:

(i) that the Bank is making the Tier 1 Qualification Election;

(ii) the Specified Increment to which that Tier 1 Qualification Election pertains;

(iii) that the Specified Increment will be treated as Tier 1 Percentage for all purposes under this Agreement from the first day of the Class B Payment Period in which that Tier 1 Qualification Election occurred, specifying the date of such first day; and

(iv) the total Tier 1 Percentage of each Class B Preferred Security following that Tier 1 Qualification Election,

the Company shall give notice to the Trust immediately upon receipt from the Bank of the Tier 1 Qualification Election notice.

The Bank shall be under no obligation to make any Tier 1 Qualification Election. However, once the Bank has elected to qualify any percentage of the liquidation preference amount of the Class B Preferred Securities as consolidated Tier 1 regulatory capital of the Bank, that election cannot be reversed. The respective percentages of each Class B Security for which the election has been made and has not been made will not be separable at any time, and each Class B Preferred Security will at all times consist of a single security with a liquidation preference amount of U.S.$25.

The effectiveness of each Tier 1 Qualification Election is subject to the conditions that, on the date of such Tier 1 Qualification Election,

(i) the BaFin has not applied for the initiation of insolvency proceedings against the Bank,

(ii) the Bank has not given notice to the BaFin that it is insolvent (zahlungsunfähig) or overindebted (überschuldet) within the meaning of §46b of the German Banking Act (Gesetz über das Kreditwesen),

(iii) the BaFin (or any other relevant regulatory authority) has not prohibited the Bank from making the Tier 1 Qualification Election, and

(iv) all Arrears of Payments, if any, have been paid or will be paid by or on the date of such Tier 1 Qualification Election.

If any of these conditions are not met with respect to any Tier 1 Qualification Election, such Tier 1 Qualification Election shall not occur and the Bank shall be deemed to have rescinded the related notice. In such case, the Bank may make a Tier 1 Qualification Election at a later date in compliance with the provisions summarized in this Section 10.04(k).

ARTICLE 11
VOTING AND MEETINGS

Section 11.01. Voting Rights of Preferred Securityholders.

The Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to its duties under this Agreement. The Company, at its own expense, shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable written notice to the Registrar.

(c) Any acquiror or Holder of Class B Preferred Securities (other than the Property Trustee or DTC) or holder of a beneficial interest therein shall be deemed to have represented and warranted by its acquisition and holding of the Class B Preferred Securities that on each day that it holds Class B Preferred Securities either (A) it is not itself, and is not acquiring any Class B Preferred Securities on behalf of or with “plan assets” of, an employee benefit plan or other plan subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA, a plan or arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code, a governmental plan which is subject to any federal, state or local law that is substantially similar to such provisions of ERISA or the Code (“Similar Law”) or an entity whose underlying assets include “plan assets” by reason of any such plan’s investment in the entity or (B) the purchase, holding and redemption of any Class B Preferred Securities is exempt by reason of Section 408 (b) (17) of ERISA, Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code or U.S. Department of Labor prohibited transaction class exemption (“PTCE”) 96-23 (for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), PTCE 95-60 (for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTCE 91-38 (for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds), XXXX 00-0 (for certain transactions involving insurance company separate accounts), or PTCE 84-14 (for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers) or similar exemptions from Similar Law.

(a) General. The provisions of this Section 16.08 shall apply only in the event that the Class B Preferred Securities are distributed to the Holders of Trust Preferred Securities in book-entry form in connection with the involuntary or voluntary liquidation, dissolution, winding-up or termination of the Trust. Upon the occurrence of such event, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Class B Preferred Securities to be issued in the form of one or more book-entry Class B Preferred Certificates (the “Book-Entry Class B Preferred Certificates”) in fully registered form in the name of DTC or its nominee and beneficial interests of the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities in the Class B Preferred Securities shall be shown on and transfers thereof shall be effected through records maintained by DTC. In the event that the provisions of this Section 16.08 take effect, still outstanding Definitive Class B Preferred Securities shall be of no further force and effect. In connection with the involuntary or voluntary liquidation, dissolution, winding-up or termination of the Trust, DTC or its nominee shall automatically be admitted as the Class B Preferred Securityholder. Receipt of the Book-Entry Class B Preferred Certificates shall be deemed to constitute a request by DTC or its nominee that the Register of the Company reflect its admission as a Class B Preferred Securityholder. Unless and until new definitive, fully registered Class B Preferred Certificates have been issued to the Class B Preferred Securityholders pursuant to Section 16.08(c):

(i) The provisions of this Section 16.08(a) shall be in full force and effect;

(ii) The Company, the Board of Directors, the Manager Trustee, and the Registrar and Transfer Agent shall be entitled to deal with DTC or its nominee for all purposes of this Agreement (including for purposes of the payment of Capital Payments, the Redemption Price and liquidation distributions and the receipt of approvals, votes or consents hereunder) as the Class B Preferred Securityholder and the sole Holder of the Class B Preferred Certificates and shall have no obligation to any other Class B Preferred Securityholders;

(iii) None of the Company, the Trust, the Board of Directors, the Manager Trustee, or any agents of any of the foregoing shall have any liability or responsibility for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in a Book-Entry Class B Preferred Certificate for such beneficial ownership interests or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests; and

(iv) Except as provided in Section 16.08(c) below, the Class B Preferred Securityholders shall not be entitled to receive physical delivery of the Class B Preferred Securities in definitive form and shall not be considered Holders thereof for any purpose under this Agreement, and no Book-Entry Class B Preferred Certificate representing Class B Preferred Securities shall be exchangeable, except for another Book-Entry Class B Preferred Certificate of like denomination and tenor to be registered in the name of DTC or its nominee. Accordingly, each Class B Preferred Securityholder must rely on the procedures of DTC, or if such person is not a participant in DTC on the procedures of such a participant through which such person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a Class B Preferred Securityholder under this Agreement.

(b) Notices to DTC or its Nominee. Whenever a notice or other communication to the Class B Preferred Securityholders is required under this Agreement, unless and until Definitive Class B Preferred Securities shall have been issued to the Class B Preferred Securityholder pursuant to Section 16.08(c), the Company, the Board of Directors, and the Manager Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to the Class B Preferred Securityholders to DTC or its nominee, and shall have no obligations to any other Class B Preferred Securityholders.

(c) Definitive Class B Preferred Certificates. In the event that (i) the Class B Preferred Securities are distributed to the Holders of Trust Preferred Securities in book-entry form in connection with the involuntary or voluntary liquidation, dissolution, winding-up or termination of the Trust and (ii) DTC or its nominee notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue its services as a securities depositary with respect to the Class B Preferred Securities and no successor depositary shall have been appointed within 90 days of such notification, then Definitive Class B Preferred Securities shall be prepared by the Company and exchanged for the Book-Entry Class B Preferred Certificates. Upon surrender of the Book-Entry Class B Preferred Certificates in whole by the Holder thereof, accompanied by registration instructions, the Board of Directors or authorized Officer shall cause Class B Preferred Certificates to be delivered to those Class B Preferred Securityholders who were owners of beneficial interests in the Book-Entry Class B Preferred Certificate in accordance with the instructions of DTC. None of the Board of Directors, authorized Officers or the Company shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and each of them may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Any Person receiving a Definitive Class B Preferred Certificate in accordance with this Section 16.08 shall be admitted to the Company as a Class B Preferred Securityholder upon receipt of such Definitive Class B Preferred Certificate and shall be registered in the Register of the Company as a Class B Preferred Securityholder. DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, shall cease to be a Class B Preferred Securityholder under this Section 16.08(c) at the time of such surrender and delivery. The Definitive Class B Preferred Certificates shall be printed, lithographed or engraved or may be produced in any other manner as may be required by a securities exchange, if any, on which Class B Preferred Securities may be listed and as is reasonably acceptable to any Officer of the Company, as evidenced by his or her execution thereof.

(b) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Company under Section 18-802 of the LLC Act;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be dissolved until all claims under the Guarantees have been paid in full pursuant to their respective terms, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Section 19.01. Amendments. This Agreement may be amended by a written instrument executed by an Officer designated by the Board of Directors without the consent of any Preferred Securityholder; provided, however, that (a) no amendment shall be made, and any such purported amendment shall be void and ineffective, to the extent either that such amendment (w) would result in the Company being deemed to be required to register under the 1940 Act, (x) would result in causing the Company to be treated as anything other than a partnership for purposes of United States federal income taxation, (y) has not received any prior requisite approval of Class B Preferred Securityholders as may be expressly provided in this Agreement or the By-laws or (z) would result in a Company Special Redemption Event, (b) so long as any Class B Preferred Securities are outstanding, the Company shall not, without the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the Class B Preferred Securities voting as a single class (entitled to vote thereon as determined in accordance with Section 11.01) (x) amend, alter, repeal or change any provision of this Agreement (including the terms of the Class B Preferred Securities) if such amendment, alteration, repeal or change would materially adversely affect the rights, preferences, powers or privileges of the Class B Preferred Securities, (y) agree to modify or amend any provision of, or waive any default in the payment of any amount under, the Obligations in any manner that would materially affect the interests of the Class B Preferred Securityholders or (z) effect any merger, consolidation or business combination involving the Company or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, provided, that in any event any such merger, consolidation, business combination or sale of assets must also comply with Section 17.01 and (c) so long as any Class B Preferred Securities are outstanding, the Company shall not, without the affirmative vote of each Class B Preferred Securityholder affected thereby, amend, alter, repeal or change the right of such Class B Preferred Securityholder to receive the Capital Payments or the applicable Redemption Price, in each case that have become due and payable.

Section 19.02. Amendment of LLC Certificate. In the event this Agreement shall be amended pursuant to Section 19.01, the Board of Directors shall cause the LLC Certificate to be amended to reflect such change if it deems such amendment of the LLC Certificate to be necessary or appropriate.

In particular, this Agreement shall be construed to the maximum extent possible to comply with all of the terms and conditions of the LLC Act. If, nevertheless, it shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that any provisions or wording of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable under the LLC Act or other applicable law, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not invalidate the entire Agreement. In that case, this Agreement shall be construed so as to limit any term or provision so as to make it enforceable or valid within the requirements of applicable law, and, in the event such term or provisions cannot be so limited, this Agreement shall be construed to omit such invalid or unenforceable provisions. If it shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that any provision relating to the distributions and allocations of the Company or to any fee payable by the Company is invalid or unenforceable, this Agreement shall be construed or interpreted so as (a) to make it enforceable or valid and (b) to make the distributions and allocations as closely equivalent to those set forth in this Agreement as is permissible under applicable law.

Section 19.05. Filings. Following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Board of Directors shall cause to be promptly prepared any documents required to be filed and recorded under the LLC Act, and the Board of Directors shall cause to be promptly filed and recorded each such document in accordance with the LLC Act and, to the extent required by local law, to be filed and recorded or notice thereof to be published in the appropriate place in each jurisdiction in which the Company may hereafter establish a place of business. The Board of Directors shall also promptly cause to be filed, recorded and published such statements of fictitious business name and any other notices, certificates, statements or other instruments required by any provision of any applicable law of the United States or any state or other jurisdiction which governs the conduct of its business from time to time.

Section 19.06. Power of Attorney. Each Preferred Securityholder does hereby constitute and appoint each Person specifically authorized by the Board of Directors to act as its true and lawful representative and attorney-in-fact, in its name, place and stead to make, execute, sign, deliver and file (a) any amendment of the LLC Certificate required because of an amendment to this Agreement or in order to effectuate any change in the ownership of the Securities of the Company, (b) any amendments to this Agreement made in accordance with the terms hereof and (c) all such other instruments, documents and certificates which may from time to time be required by the laws of the United States of America, the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction, or any political subdivision or agency thereof, to effectuate, implement and continue the valid and subsisting existence of the Company or to dissolve the Company or for any other purpose consistent with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

The Power of Attorney granted hereby is coupled with an interest and shall (a) survive and not be affected by the subsequent death, incapacity, disability, dissolution, termination or Bankruptcy of the Preferred Securityholder granting the same or the transfer of all or any portion of such Preferred Securityholder’s Preferred Securities and (b) extend to such Preferred Securityholder’s successors, assigns and legal representatives.

Section 19.07. Exculpation.

(a) No Director or Officer shall have personal liability to the Company or the Securityholders for monetary damages for breach of, in the case of a Director, such Director’s fiduciary duty (if any) or, in the case of a Director or an Officer, for any act or omission performed or omitted by such Director or Officer in good faith on behalf of the Company, except for such Director’s or Officer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 19.08. Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Director and Officer shall be entitled to indemnification from the Bank for any loss, damage, claim or expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred by such Director or Officer by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Director or Officer in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of authority conferred on such Director or Officer by this Agreement, except with respect to any act or omission determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Director or Officer.

ARTICLE 1
SECURITYHOLDERS

Section 1.01. Annual Meetings. An annual meeting of the Common Securityholders shall be held at such date, time and place either within or without the State of Delaware if and as may be decided and designated by the Board of Directors from time to time. Any other proper business may be transacted at the annual meeting.

Section 1.02. Special Meetings. Special meetings of Securityholders may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board, if any, the President, the Board of Directors or any of the Independent Directors, if any, to be held at such date, time and place either within or without the State of Delaware as may be stated in the notice of the meeting. A special meeting of Securityholders shall be called by the Secretary upon the written request, stating the purpose of the meeting, of Securityholders who together own of record a majority of the Securities entitled to vote at such meeting, or, if so provided in the Agreement, upon the written request of any Class B Preferred Securityholder entitled to vote in such special meeting.

Section 1.03. Notice of Meetings. Whenever Securityholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a written notice of the meeting shall be given which shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Unless otherwise provided by law, the written notice of any meeting shall be given not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting to each Securityholder entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the Securityholder at such Securityholder’s address as it appears on the records of the Company.

Amended & Restated LLC Agreement

Section 1.04. Adjournments. Any meeting of Securityholders, annual or special, may be adjourned from time to time, to reconvene at the same or some other place, and notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting the Company may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each Securityholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

Section 1.05. Quorum. At each meeting of Securityholders, except where otherwise provided by law or the Agreement or these By-laws, the Holders of at least 50% of the Securities entitled to vote on a matter at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum. In the absence of a quorum of the Holders of Securities entitled to vote on a matter, the Holders of a majority of the Securities present or represented may adjourn such meeting from time to time in the manner provided by Section 1.04 of these By-laws until a quorum shall be so present or represented. Securities other than the Common Security belonging on the record date for the meeting to the Bank or an Affiliate of the Bank shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum purposes.

Section 1.06. Organization. Meetings of Securityholders shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board, if any, or in the absence of the Chairman of the Board by the President, or in the absence of the President by a Vice President, or in the absence of the foregoing persons, by a chairman designated by the Board of Directors, or in the absence of such designation, by a chairman chosen at the meeting. The Secretary, or in the absence of the Secretary, an Assistant Secretary, shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in the absence of the Secretary and any Assistant Secretary, the chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.

Section 1.07. Voting: Proxies. Unless otherwise provided in the Agreement, each Securityholder entitled to vote at any meeting of Securityholders shall have voting power proportionate to the outstanding amount, based on initial issue price, of the Securities held by such Securityholder that have voting power upon the matter in question. Each Securityholder entitled to vote at a meeting of Securityholders or to express consent or dissent to action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such Securityholder by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power, regardless of whether the interest with which it is coupled is an interest in the Securities themselves or an interest in the Company generally. A Securityholder may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by filing an instrument in writing revoking the proxy or another duly executed proxy bearing a later date with the Secretary of the Company. Voting at meetings of Securityholders need not be by written ballot unless the Holders of a majority of the outstanding Securities entitled to vote thereon present in person or represented by proxy at such meeting shall so determine. Directors shall be designated, removed and replaced as provided in the Agreement and Article II hereof. Other than in the case of any matter expressly set forth in the Agreement for which a higher vote is required, the affirmative vote of the Holders of a majority of the Securities present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the Securityholders.

Section 1.08. Fixing Date for Determination of Securityholders of Record. In order that the Company may determine the Securityholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of Securityholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than sixty nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining Securityholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Securityholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of Securityholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Securityholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

In order that the Company may determine the Securityholders entitled to consent to action in writing without a meeting, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which date shall not be more than ten days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining Securityholders entitled to consent to action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is required by law, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Company by delivery to (a) its registered office in the State of Delaware, (b) its principal place of business, or (c) an Officer or agent of the Company having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of Securityholders are recorded. Delivery made to the Company’s registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors and prior action by the Board of Directors is required by law, the record date for determining Securityholders entitled to consent to action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

In order that the Company may determine the Securityholders entitled to receive payment of any distribution or allotment of any rights or the Securityholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any exchange of Securities, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than sixty days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining Securityholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

Section 1.09. List of Securityholders Entitled to Vote. The Secretary shall prepare and make, at least ten days before every meeting of Securityholders, a complete list of the Securityholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each Securityholder and the amount of Securities registered in the name of each Securityholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any Securityholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The list shall also be produced and

kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof and may be inspected by any Securityholder who is present.

Section 1.10. Consent of Securityholders in Lieu of Meeting. Unless otherwise provided in the Agreement or by law, any action required by law to be taken at any annual or special meeting of Securityholders of the Company, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such Securityholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the Holders of outstanding Securities having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all Securities entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the Company by delivery to (a) its registered office in the state of Delaware by hand or by certified mail or registered mail, return receipt requested, (b) its principal place of business, or (c) an Officer or agent of the Company having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of Securityholders are recorded. Every written consent shall bear the date of signature of each Securityholder who signs the consent and no written consent shall be effective to take the action referred to therein unless, within sixty days of the earliest dated consent delivered in the manner required by these By-laws to the Company, written consents signed by Holders representing a sufficient amount of Securities to take action are delivered to the Company by delivery to (a) its registered office in the State of Delaware by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, (b) its principal place of business, or (c) an Officer or agent of the Company having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of Securityholders are recorded. Prompt notice of the taking of the action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those Securityholders who have not consented in writing.

ARTICLE 2
BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Section 2.01. Number; Powers; By-laws. The business and affairs of the Company shall be managed by or under the direction of a Board of Directors composed initially of four Directors and thereafter of not less than four nor more than seven Directors. The Board shall manage the business and affairs of the Company and may exercise all powers in connection therewith, and except for such powers as are required to be exercised by Securityholders, all in accordance with the Agreement, these By-laws and applicable law. Except to the extent that the Board of Directors or the Securityholders confer such authority on a Director, no Director shall have the authority to bind the Company.

Section 2.02. Voting Power. Each Director shall, in the consideration of any matter by the Board of Directors, have a single vote at the time such vote is taken or made (whether at a meeting or by written consent). Except where a greater percentage approval may be provided for herein or in the Agreement or by law, an action shall be deemed approved by the Board of Directors only if it has been approved by a majority of the Directors.

Section 2.03. Quorum. At all meetings of the Board of Directors, the presence of at least a majority of Directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. In case at any meeting of the Board of Directors a quorum shall not be present, any Director present may adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum shall be present.

Section 2.04. Designation; Removal; Replacement. The term of office of a Director shall be until the earliest of the following events: (i) his or her successor is designated or (ii) he or she resigns or is removed. Any Director (other than any Independent Director) may be removed, with or without cause, by majority vote of the Common Securityholders. In the event of the resignation, removal or death of a Director, such Director shall be replaced by another person designated by majority vote of the Common Securityholders. Any Director may resign at any time upon written notice to the Board of Directors or to the President or the Secretary of the Company. Such resignation shall take effect at the time specified therein, and unless otherwise specified therein no acceptance of such resignation shall be necessary to make it effective.

Section 2.05. Regular Meetings. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors may be held at such places within or without the State of Delaware and at such times as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine, and if so determined notice thereof need not be given.

Reasonable notice thereof shall be given by the person or persons calling the meeting.

Section 2.07. Participation in Meetings by Conference Telephone Permitted. Unless otherwise restricted by the Agreement or these By-laws, the Board of Directors, or any committee designated by the Board of Directors, may participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors or of such committee, as the case may be, by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in a meeting pursuant to these By-laws shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

Section 2.08. Organization. Meetings of the Board of Directors shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board, or in the absence of the Chairman of the Board by the President, or in their absence, by a chairman chosen at the meeting. The Secretary, or in the absence of the Secretary, an Assistant Secretary, shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in the absence of the Secretary and any Assistant Secretary, the chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.

Section 2.09. Action by Directors Without a Meeting. Unless otherwise restricted by the Agreement or these By-laws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors, or of any committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting if all of the Board of Directors or of such committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing, and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors or committee.

ARTICLE 3
COMMITTEES

Section 3.01. Committees. The Board of Directors may, by resolution of the Board of Directors adopted by majority vote, designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the Directors of the Company. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board of Directors or in these By-laws, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board of Directors in the

management of the business and affairs of the Company, and may authorize the seal of the Company to be affixed to all papers which may require it; but no such committee shall have the power or authority in reference to amending the LLC Certificate, adopting an agreement of merger, consolidation or conversion, recommending to the Securityholders the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the Company’s property and assets, recommending to the Securityholders a dissolution of the Company amending these By-laws; and, unless the resolution, these By-laws or the Agreement expressly so provides, no such committee shall have the power or authority to authorize the issuance of Securities, to adopt a certificate of ownership and merger, consolidation or conversion or to remove or indemnify Officers or Directors.

Section 3.02. Committee Rules. Unless the Board of Directors otherwise provides, each committee designated by the Board of Directors may adopt, amend and repeal rules for the conduct of its business. In the absence of a provision by the Board of Directors or a provision in the rules of such committee to the contrary, a majority of the members of such committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, the vote of a majority of the members present at a meeting at the time of such vote if a quorum is then present shall be the act of such committee, and in other respects each committee shall conduct its business in the same manner as the Board of Directors conducts its business pursuant to Article II of these By-laws.

ARTICLE 4
OFFICERS

Section 4.01. Officers; Election. As soon as practicable after the annual meeting of Common Securityholders in each year, the Board of Directors shall elect a President and a Secretary, and may also elect one or more Vice Presidents, one or more Assistant Vice Presidents, one or more Assistant Secretaries, a Treasurer and one or more Assistant Treasurers and such other Officers as the Board of Directors may deem desirable or appropriate and may give any of them such further designations or alternate titles as it considers desirable.

Unless otherwise provided in the resolution of the Board of Directors electing any Officer, each Officer shall hold office until his or her successor is elected and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation or removal. Any Officer may resign at any time upon written notice to the Board of Directors or to the President or the Secretary of the Company. Such resignation shall take effect at the time specified therein, and unless otherwise specified therein no acceptance of such resignation shall be necessary to make it effective. The Board of Directors may remove any Officer with or without cause at any time. Any such removal shall be without prejudice to the contractual rights of such Officer, if any, with the Company, but the election of an Officer shall not of itself create contractual rights. Any vacancy occurring in any office of the Company by death, resignation, removal or otherwise may be filled by the Board of Directors at any regular or special meeting.

Section 4.03. Powers and Duties. The Officers of the Company shall have such powers and duties in the management of the Company as shall be stated in these By-laws or in a resolution of the Board of Directors which is not inconsistent with these By-laws and, to the extent not so stated, as generally pertain to comparable offices in a corporation organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, subject to the control

of the Board of Directors. The Secretary shall have the duty to record the proceedings of the meetings of the Securityholders, the Board of Directors and any committees in a book to be kept for that purpose. The Board of Directors may require any Officer, agent or employee to give security for the faithful performance of his or her duties.

ARTICLE 5
SECURITIES

Section 5.01. Certificates for Securities. The Preferred Securities in the Company shall be registered in the form of Definitive Class B Preferred Securities except that Class B Preferred Securities distributed to Holders of Global Trust Preferred Securities (as defined in the Trust Agreement) in connection with the liquidation, dissolution, winding up or termination of the Trust, may be in form of Book-Entry Class B Securities pursuant to Article 16 of the LLC Agreement. If such certificate is manually countersigned by a transfer agent or by a registrar, any other signature on the certificate may be a facsimile. In case any Officer who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such Officer before such certificate is issued, such certificate may be issued by the Company with the same effect as if such person were such Officer at the date of issue.

Section 5.02. Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates: Issuance of New Certificates. The Company may issue a new certificate representing Class B Preferred Securities in the place of any certificate theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, and the Company may require the owner of the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or such owner’s legal representative, to give the Company a bond sufficient to indemnify it against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate or uncertificated Preferred Securities.

ARTICLE 6
MISCELLANEOUS

Section 6.01. Seal. The Company may have a company seal which shall have the name of the Company inscribed thereon and shall be in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Board of Directors. The company seal, if any, may be used by causing it or a facsimile thereof to be impressed or affixed or in any other manner reproduced.

Section 6.02. Waiver of Notice of Meetings of Securityholders, Directors and Committees. Whenever notice is required to be given by law or under any provision of the Agreement or these By-laws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the Securityholders, Directors or a committee of Directors need be specified in any written waiver of notice unless so required by the Agreement or these By-laws.

Section 6.03. Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Employees. The Bank, as the Holder of the Common Security, shall indemnify to the full extent permitted

under the LLC Act any person made or threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person or such person’s testator or intestate is or was a Director, Officer or employee of the Company or serves or served at the request of the Company any other enterprise as a director, officer or employee except for such Director’s or Officer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by any such person in defending any such action, suit or proceeding shall be paid or reimbursed by the Bank promptly upon receipt by it of an undertaking of such person to repay such expenses if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Bank. The rights provided to any person by these By-laws shall be enforceable against the Bank by such person who shall be presumed to have relied upon it in serving or continuing to serve as a Director, Officer or employee as provided above. No amendment of these By-laws shall impair the rights of any person arising at any time with respect to events occurring prior to such amendment. For purposes of these By-laws, the term “Company” shall include any predecessor of the Company and any constituent company (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed by the Company in a consolidation or merger; the term “other enterprise” shall include any limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or employee benefit plan. The rights conferred on any Person by this Section 6.03 shall not be exclusive of any other rights which such Person may have or hereafter acquire under any statue, provision of these By-laws, the Agreement, any other agreement, vote of Securityholders or disinterested Directors or otherwise. The Bank’s obligation, if any, to indemnify any Person who was or is serving at its request as a director, officer, employee or agent of any other enterprise shall be reduced by any amount such Person may collect as indemnification from such other enterprise. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.03 shall not adversely affect any right of protection hereunder of any Person in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification.

Section 6.04. Interested Directors; Quorum. No contract or transaction between the Company and one or more of its Directors or Officers, or between the Company and any other limited liability company, corporation, partnership, association or other organization in which one or more of its Directors or Officers are Directors or officers, or have a financial interest (except for the Bank), shall be void or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because the Director or Officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the Board of Directors or committee thereof which authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely because his or her or their votes are counted for such purpose, if: (1) the material facts as to his or her relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board of Directors or the committee, and the Board of Directors or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested Directors, even though the disinterested Directors would be less than a quorum; or (2) the material facts as to his or her relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Securityholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the Securityholders; or (3) the contract or transaction is fair as to the Company as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified, by the Board of Directors, a committee thereof or the Securityholders. Common or interested Directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board of Directors or of a committee that authorizes the contract or transaction.

Section 6.05. Form of Records. Any records maintained by the Company in the regular course of its business, including its Securities ledger, books of account and minute books, may be kept on, or be in the form of, punch cards, magnetic tape or disk, photographs, microphotographs or any other information storage device, provided that the records so kept can be converted into clearly legible form within a reasonable time. The Company shall so convert any records so kept upon the request of any person entitled to inspect the same.

Section 6.06. Amendment of By-laws. These By-laws may be amended or repealed, and new By-laws adopted, by the Board of Directors in accordance with the Agreement.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]

Capital Payments on the Class B Preferred Securities shall be payable quarterly in arrears on March 30, June 30, September 30 and December 30 of each year, commencing on June 30, 2008. Capital Payments on the Class B Preferred Securities payable on each Class B Payment Date shall be calculated as provided below and shall accrue from and including the immediately preceding Class B Payment Date (or May 9, 2008 with respect to the Capital Payment payable June 30, 2008) to but excluding the relevant Class B Payment Date.

For each Class B Payment Period, Capital Payments shall accrue on the Class B Liquidation Preference Amount of each Class B Preferred Security at a fixed rate of 8.05% per annum, calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

If any Class B Payment Date or Class B Redemption Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, payment of all amounts otherwise payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, without adjustment, interest or further payment as a result of such delay in payment.

If the Trust or the Property Trustee is the Holder of the Class B Preferred Securities, all distributions of cash shall be made by wire transfer of same day funds to such Holder by 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the applicable Class B Payment Date. If the Trust Preferred Securities (or, if the Trust is liquidated, the Class B Preferred Securities) are in book-entry only form, Capital Payments will be payable to the Holders of record of Class B Preferred Securities as they appear on the Register of the Company on the relevant record dates, which will be at the end of the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which the relevant Capital Payment will be paid. If the Trust Preferred Securities (or, if the Trust is liquidated, the Class B Preferred Securities) are not in book-entry only form, the relevant record dates shall be the end of the 15^th Business Day prior to the relevant Class B Payment Date.

The Company will also have a right, upon the occurrence of a Company Special Redemption Event to redeem the Class B Preferred Securities at any time, in whole but not in part, and upon at least 30 calendar days’ prior notice, subject to the Company having obtained any required regulatory approvals. Any such redemption shall be at the Redemption Price.

To the extent and in the manner described in the LLC Agreement, Capital Payments on the Class B Preferred Securities shall be cumulative with respect to the Upper Tier 2 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities (as defined in the LLC Agreement) and non-cumulative with respect to the Tier 1 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities (as defined in the LLC Agreement), if any.

On or after the Initial Redemption Date, the Class B Preferred Securities shall be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole but not in part, on any Class B Payment Date, at the Redemption Price.

No redemption of the Class B Preferred Securities shall take place for any reason unless on the Class B Redemption Date (i) the Company has an amount of cash funds (by reason of payments on the Obligations or the Class B Preferred Guarantee) at least equal to the

Redemption Price, plus Additional Amounts, if any, (ii) the Company has an amount of Operating Profits for the current Class B Payment Period at least equal to the Capital Payments on the Class B Preferred Securities and Arrears of Payments, accrued and unpaid as of the Class B Redemption Date plus Additional Amounts, if any, (iii) the Bank has an amount of Distributable Profits for the preceding fiscal year of the Bank (for which audited unconsolidated financial statements are available) at least equal to the Capital Payments on the Class B Preferred Securities accrued and unpaid as of the Class B Redemption Date, plus the amount of Capital Payments (including any Arrears of Payments) on the Class B Preferred Securities theretofore paid, plus any Additional Amounts plus (x) if the Upper Tier 2 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities exceeds zero, capital payments payable on Parity Capital Securities and Preferred Tier 1 Capital Securities, or (y) if the Upper Tier 2 Percentage of the Class B Preferred Securities is zero, capital payments or dividends payable on any Preferred Tier 1 Securities, and (iv) no order of the BaFin (or any other relevant regulatory authority) is in effect prohibiting the Bank from making any distribution of profits.
