RECITALS

A. On the date hereof, the Corporation is issuing $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 8.125% Junior Subordinated Debentures due 2068 (together with any other 8.125% Junior Subordinated Debentures due 2068 issued after the date of this Replacement Capital Covenant pursuant to the related indenture, the “Debentures”).

B. This Replacement Capital Covenant is the “Replacement Capital Covenant” referred to in the Prospectus Supplement, dated June 3, 2008 (the “Prospectus Supplement”), to the Corporation’s prospectus, dated June 3, 2008, included in post-effective amendment No. 1 to the Corporation’s registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-142044), relating to the Debentures.

C. The Corporation is entering into and disclosing the content of this Replacement Capital Covenant in the manner provided below with the intent that the covenants provided for in this Replacement Capital Covenant be enforceable by each Covered Debtholder and that the Corporation be estopped from disregarding the covenants in this Replacement Capital Covenant, in each case to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

D. The Corporation acknowledges that reliance by each Covered Debtholder upon the covenants in this Replacement Capital Covenant is reasonable and foreseeable by the Corporation and that, were the Corporation to disregard its covenants in this Replacement Capital Covenant, each Covered Debtholder would have sustained an injury as a result of its reliance on such covenants.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Corporation hereby covenants and agrees as follows in favor of and for the benefit of each Covered Debtholder.

SECTION 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this Replacement Capital Covenant (including the Recitals) have the meanings set forth in Annex I hereto.

SECTION 2. Limitations on Redemption and Purchase of Debentures. The Corporation hereby promises and covenants to and for the benefit of each Covered Debtholder that the Corporation shall not repay, redeem, defease or repurchase, and shall cause each Subsidiary of the Corporation not to purchase, all or any part of the

Debentures prior to June 15, 2048, except to the extent that the principal amount repaid or defeased or the applicable redemption or purchase price does not exceed the sum of the Applicable Percentages of the following amounts:

(i) the aggregate amount of (a) the net cash proceeds the Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall have received from the sale of Common Stock and rights to acquire Common Stock to Persons other than the Corporation and its Subsidiaries and (b) the Market Value of any Common Stock (determined as of the date of delivery) that the Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall have delivered to Persons other than the Corporation and its Subsidiaries in connection with the conversion of any convertible or exchangeable securities, other than securities for which the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries shall have received equity credit from any NRSRO, in each case during the relevant Measurement Period (without double counting proceeds received in any prior Measurement Period); plus

(ii) the aggregate amount of net cash proceeds the Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall have received during the relevant Measurement Period (without double counting proceeds received in any prior Measurement Period) from the sale of Qualifying Replacement Securities, Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock and Debt Exchangeable for Common Equity to Persons other than the Corporation and its Subsidiaries,

provided that the limitations in this Section 2 shall not restrict (i) the repayment, redemption or other purchase of any Debentures that the Corporation shall have previously defeased in accordance with this Replacement Capital Covenant or (ii) the exchange of the Debentures for consideration that consists solely of an aggregate principal amount or liquidation preference (or, in the case of Common Stock, Market Value) of Replacement Capital Securities not to exceed 100% (or, in the case of Common Stock, not to exceed 50%) of the aggregate principal amount of Debentures that are exchanged plus an amount in cash equal to accrued but unpaid Distributions thereon, other than any deferred Distributions.

SECTION 3. Covered Debt. (a) The Corporation represents and warrants that the Initial Covered Debt is Eligible Debt.

(b) On or during the 30-day period immediately preceding any Redesignation Date with respect to the Covered Debt, the Corporation shall identify the series of Eligible Debt that will become the Covered Debt on and after such Redesignation Date in accordance with the following procedures:

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

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

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

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

(v) in connection with such identification of a new series of Covered Debt, the Corporation shall, as provided for in Section 3(c), give a notice and file with the Commission a Current Report on Form 8-K (or any successor form) under the Securities Exchange Act including or incorporating by reference this Replacement Capital Covenant as an exhibit within the time frame provided for in such section.

(c) Notice. In order to give effect to the intent of the Corporation described in Recital C, the Corporation covenants that (i) simultaneously with the execution of this Replacement Capital Covenant or as soon as practicable after the date hereof, it shall (x) give notice to the Holders of the Initial Covered Debt, in the manner provided in the indenture relating to the Initial Covered Debt, of its entry into this Replacement Capital Covenant and the rights granted to such Holders hereunder and (y) file a copy of this Replacement Capital Covenant with the Commission as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K (or any successor form) under the Securities Exchange Act, (ii) so long as the Corporation is a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act, the Corporation shall include in each Annual Report on Form 10-K (or any successor form) filed with the Commission under the Securities Exchange Act a description of the covenant set forth in Section 2 and identify the Covered Debt as of the date such Form 10-K (or any successor form) is filed with the Commission, (iii) if a series of the Corporation’s
long-term indebtedness for money borrowed (1) becomes Covered Debt or (2) ceases to be Covered Debt, the Corporation shall give notice of such occurrence within 30 days to the holders of such long-term indebtedness for money borrowed in the manner provided for in the indenture, fiscal agency agreement or other instrument under which such long-term indebtedness for money borrowed was issued and report such change in a Current Report on Form 8-K (or any successor form), which must include or incorporate by reference

this Replacement Capital Covenant, and in the Corporation’s next quarterly report on Form 10-Q (or any successor form) or Annual Report on Form 10-K (or any successor form), as applicable, (iv) if, and only if, the Corporation ceases to be a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act, the Corporation shall (A) post on its website (or any other similar electronic platform generally available to the public) the information otherwise required to be included in Securities Exchange Act filings pursuant to clauses (ii) and (iii) of this Section 3(c) and (B) cause a notice of the execution of this Replacement Capital Covenant to be posted on the Bloomberg screen for the Covered Debt and each similar third-party vendor’s screen the Corporation reasonably believes is appropriate (each an “Investor Screen”) and cause a hyperlink to a definitive copy of this Replacement Capital Covenant to be included on the Investor Screen for the Covered Debt, in each case to the extent permitted by Bloomberg or such similar third-party vendor, as the case may be, and (v) promptly upon request by any Holder of Covered Debt, the Corporation shall provide such Holder with a copy of this Replacement Capital Covenant as executed.

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

SECTION 4. Termination, Amendment and Waiver. (a) The obligations of the Corporation pursuant to this Replacement Capital Covenant shall remain in full force and effect until the earliest date (the “Termination Date”) to occur of (i) June 15, 2048, or, if earlier, the date on which the Debentures are otherwise repaid, redeemed, defeased, satisfied and discharged or purchased in full (in compliance with the terms of this Replacement Capital Covenant), (ii) the date, if any, on which the Holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding principal amount of the Covered Debt consent or agree in writing to the termination of this Replacement Capital Covenant and the obligations of the Corporation hereunder, (iii) the date on which the Corporation ceases to have any series of outstanding Eligible Senior Debt or Eligible Subordinated Debt (in each case without giving effect to the rating requirement in clause (b) of the definition of each such term) and (iv) the date on which the Debentures become accelerated due to the occurrence of an event of default. From and after the Termination Date, the obligations of the Corporation pursuant to this Replacement Capital Covenant shall be of no further force and effect.

(b) This Replacement Capital Covenant may be amended or supplemented from time to time by a written instrument signed by the Corporation with the consent of

the Holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding principal amount of the Covered Debt, provided that this Replacement Capital Covenant may be amended or supplemented from time to time by a written instrument signed only by the Corporation (and without the consent of the Holders of the Covered Debt) if any of the following apply (it being understood that any such amendment or supplement may fall into one or more of the following): (i) the effect of such amendment or supplement is solely to impose additional restrictions on, or to eliminate certain of, the types of securities qualifying as Replacement Capital Securities and an officer of the Corporation has delivered to the trustee or agent for such Covered Debt in the manner provided for in the indenture, fiscal agency agreement or other instrument with respect to such Covered Debt a written certificate to that effect, (ii) such amendment or supplement is not adverse to the rights of the Covered Debtholders hereunder and an officer of the Corporation has delivered to the trustee or agent for such Covered Debt in the manner provided for in the indenture, fiscal agency agreement or other instrument with respect to such Covered Debt a written certificate stating that, in his or her determination, such amendment or supplement is not adverse to the Covered Debtholders, or (iii) such amendment or supplement eliminates Common Stock, rights to acquire Common Stock, Debt Exchangeable for Common Equity and/or Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock as Replacement Capital Securities if, in the case of this clause (iii), an accounting standard or interpretive guidance of an existing accounting standard issued by an organization or regulator that has responsibility for establishing or interpreting accounting standards used to prepare the Corporation’s financial statements becomes effective, which, as a result, causes the Corporation to believe that there is more than an insubstantial risk that the failure to eliminate Common Stock, rights to acquire Common Stock, Debt Exchangeable for Common Equity and/or Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock as Replacement Capital Securities would result in a reduction in the Corporation’s earnings per share as calculated for financial reporting purposes. For the purpose of clause (ii) in the preceding sentence, an amendment or supplement that adds new types of securities qualifying as Replacement Capital Securities or modifies the requirements of securities qualifying as Replacement Capital Securities will not be deemed materially adverse to the Covered Debtholders if, following such amendment or supplement, the replacement capital covenant would constitute a Qualifying Replacement Capital Covenant.

(c) For purposes of Sections 4(a) and 4(b), the Holders whose consent or agreement is required to terminate, amend or supplement the obligations of the Corporation under this Replacement Capital Covenant shall be the Holders of the Covered Debt as of a record date established by the Corporation that is not more than 30 days prior to the date on which the Corporation proposes that such termination, amendment or supplement becomes effective.

SECTION 5. Miscellaneous. (a) This Replacement Capital Covenant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

(b) This Replacement Capital Covenant shall be binding upon the Corporation and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Covered Debtholders as they exist from time-to-time (it being understood and agreed by the Corporation that any Person who is a Covered Debtholder shall retain its status as a Covered Debtholder for so long as the series of long-term indebtedness for borrowed money owned by such Person is Covered Debt and, if such Person initiates an action, claim or proceeding to enforce its rights under this Replacement Capital Covenant after the Corporation has violated its covenants in Section 2 and before the series of long-term indebtedness for money borrowed held by such Person is no longer Covered Debt, such Person’s rights under this Replacement Capital Covenant shall not terminate by reason of such series of long-term indebtedness for money borrowed no longer being Covered Debt). Other than the Covered Debtholders as provided in the previous sentence, no other Person shall have any rights under this Replacement Capital Covenant or be deemed a third party beneficiary of this Replacement Capital Covenant.

(c) All demands, notices, requests and other communications to the Corporation under this Replacement Capital Covenant shall be deemed to have been duly given and made if in writing and (i) if served by personal delivery upon the Corporation, on the day so delivered (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) or (ii) if delivered by registered post or certified mail, return receipt requested, or sent to the Corporation by a national or international courier service, on the date of receipt by the Corporation (or, if such date of receipt is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day), and in each case to the Corporation at the address set forth below, or at such other address as the Corporation may thereafter notify to Covered Debtholders or post on its website (or any other similar electronic platform generally available to the public) as the address for notices under this Replacement Capital Covenant:

Annex I

DEFINITIONS

“Alternative Payment Mechanism” means, with respect to any securities or combination of securities (together in this definition, “securities”), provisions in the related transaction documents requiring the Corporation to issue (or use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to issue) one or more types of APM Qualifying Securities for the purpose of raising eligible proceeds at least equal to the deferred and unpaid Distributions on such securities and apply the net proceeds to pay such Distributions on such securities, commencing on the earlier of (x) the first Distribution Date after commencement of a deferral period on which the Corporation pays current Distributions (which the Corporation may pay from any source of funds) on such securities and (y) the fifth anniversary of the commencement of such deferral period if on such date such deferral period has not ended, and that:

(a) define “eligible proceeds” to mean, for purposes of such Alternative Payment Mechanism, the net proceeds (after underwriters’ or placement agents’ fees, commissions or discounts and other expenses relating to the issuance or sale of the relevant securities, and including the fair market value of property received by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries as consideration for such securities) that the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries shall have received during the 180 days prior to the relevant Distribution Date from the sale of APM Qualifying Securities, provided that in the case of APM Qualifying Securities that are Qualifying Preferred Stock or Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock the amount of net proceeds included in eligible proceeds shall not exceed the Preferred Cap;

(b) permit the Corporation to pay current Distributions on any Distribution Date out of any source of funds but (i) require the Corporation to pay deferred Distributions only out of eligible proceeds and (ii) prohibit the Corporation from paying deferred Distributions out of any source of funds other than eligible proceeds unless an event of default with respect to such securities has occurred;

(c) if deferral of Distributions continues for more than one year (or such shorter period as provided for in the terms of such securities), require the Corporation and its Subsidiaries not to repay, redeem or purchase any of its securities ranking junior to or equally with any APM Qualifying Securities on the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, the proceeds of which were used to pay deferred interest during the relevant deferral period until at least one year after all deferred Distributions have been paid (“Repurchase Restriction”), other than the following (none of which shall be restricted or prohibited by a Repurchase Restriction):

I-1

(i) purchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of Common Stock in connection with any employment contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of employees, officers, directors or consultants;

(ii) purchases of Common Stock pursuant to a contractually binding requirement to buy Common Stock entered into prior to the beginning of the related deferral period, including under a contractually binding stock repurchase plan;

(iii) as a result of any exchange, redemption or conversion of any class or series of the Corporation’s capital stock (or any capital stock of one of the Corporation’s Subsidiaries) for any class or series of the Corporation’s capital stock or of any class or series of the Corporation’s indebtedness for any class or series of the Corporation’s capital stock;

(iv) the purchase of or payment of cash in lieu of fractional interests in the Corporation’s capital stock in accordance with the conversion or exchange provisions of such capital stock or the security being converted or exchanged; or

(v) the redemption or repurchase of rights in accordance with any stockholders’ rights plan;

(d) limit the obligation of the Corporation to issue (or to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to issue) APM Qualifying Securities that are Common Stock or Qualifying Warrants, prior to the fifth anniversary of any deferral period, to the extent that the number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of such Qualifying Warrants plus the number of shares of Common Stock previously issued or issuable on the exercise of Qualifying Warrants previously issued during the applicable deferral period would exceed 2% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock set forth in the Corporation’s most recent publicly available financial statements (the “Common Cap”);

(e) limit the right of the Corporation to issue APM Qualifying Securities that are Qualifying Preferred Stock or Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock, to the extent that the net proceeds of any issuance of such Qualifying Preferred Stock or Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock applied, together with the net proceeds of all prior issuances of Qualifying Preferred Stock and any still-outstanding Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock applied during the current and all prior deferral periods, to pay deferred Distributions on the securities would exceed 25% of the liquidation or principal amount of the

I-2

securities that are the subject of the related Alternative Payment Mechanism (the “Preferred Cap”);

(f) notwithstanding the Common Cap and the Preferred Cap, permit the Corporation, at its option, to impose a limitation on the Corporation’s obligation to issue APM Qualifying Securities consisting of Common Stock and Qualifying Warrants to a maximum issuance cap to be set at the Corporation’s discretion and otherwise substantially similar to the Share Cap, provided that such limitation will be subject to the Corporation’s agreement to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts (i) to increase such limitation when reached to enable the Corporation to simultaneously satisfy its future fixed or contingent obligations under such securities and other securities and derivative instruments that provide for settlement or payment in shares of Common Stock or (ii) if the Corporation cannot increase such limitation as contemplated in the preceding clause, by requesting its board of directors to adopt a resolution for a stockholder vote at the next annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation to increase the number of shares of the Corporation’s authorized Common Stock for purposes of satisfying the Corporation’s obligations to pay deferred Distributions;

(g) in the case of securities other than Qualifying Preferred Stock, include a Bankruptcy Claim Limitation Provision; and

(h) permit the Corporation, at its option, to provide that if the Corporation is involved in a merger, consolidation, amalgamation, binding share exchange or conveyance, business combination, recapitalization, transfer or lease of assets substantially as an entirety to any other Person or a similar transaction (a “Business Combination”) where immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination more than 50% of the voting stock of the surviving or resulting entity or the Person to whom all or substantially all of the Corporation’s property or assets are conveyed, transferred or leased in such Business Combination is owned by the stockholders of the other party to the Business Combination or Person to whom all or substantially all of the Corporation’s property or assets are conveyed, transferred or leased, then clauses (a), (b) and (c) above will not apply to any deferral period that is terminated on the next Distribution Date following the date of consummation of the Business Combination;

provided (and it being understood) that:

(1) the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue (or to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to issue) APM Qualifying Securities for so long as a Market Disruption Event has occurred and is continuing;

I-3

(3) if the Corporation has outstanding more than one class or series of securities under which it is obligated to sell a type of APM Qualifying Securities and apply some part of the proceeds to the payment of deferred Distributions, then on any date and for any period the amount of net proceeds received by the Corporation from those sales and available for payment of deferred Distributions on such securities (in accordance with clauses (d) and (e) of this definition) shall be applied to such securities on a pro rata basis in proportion to the total amounts that are due on such securities.

provided (and it being understood) that (i) if the APM Qualifying Securities for any Alternative Payment Mechanism or Mandatory Trigger Provision include both Common Stock and Qualifying Warrants, such Alternative Payment Mechanism or Mandatory Trigger Provision may permit, but need not require, the Corporation to issue Qualifying Warrants, (ii) such Alternative Payment Mechanism or Mandatory Trigger Provision may permit, but need not require, the Corporation to issue Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock and (iii) the Corporation may, without the consent of the holders of the Qualifying Replacement Securities, amend the definition of APM Qualifying Securities to eliminate Common Stock or Qualifying Warrants, but not both, and any other security from the definition if an accounting standard or interpretive guidance of an existing standard issued by an organization or regulator that has responsibility for establishing or interpreting accounting standards used to prepare the Corporation’s financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission becomes effective, which, as a result, causes the Corporation to believe there is more than an insubstantial risk that the failure to do so would result in a reduction in the Corporation’s earnings per share as calculated for financial reporting purposes.

I-4

“Applicable Percentage” means:
