equal to 8.75% per annum through the interest payment date in July 2012 and
thereafter at a variable rate of LIBOR plus 3.50% per annum until paid or duly

rate equal to a fixed rate equal to 8.75% per annum through the interest payment
date in July 2012 and thereafter at a

Interest at a fixed rate equal to 8.75% per annum through the interest payment
date in July 2012 and thereafter at a
variable rate of

Redemption Date shall be paid to the Person to whom principal is
paid. The initial payment of interest on any Security that is issued
between a Regular
- 2

Record
Date and the related Interest Payment Date shall be payable as provided in such

(c) Any
interest or Modification Payment on any Security that is due and payable, but is
not timely paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for
Securities (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be
payable to the registered Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue
of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the
Company, at its election in each case, as provided in paragraph (i) or (ii)
below:
(i) The
Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in
whose names the Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are
registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of
such Defaulted Interest (a “Special Record Date”), which shall be fixed in the
following manner. At least thirty (30) days prior to the date of the
proposed payment, the Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount
of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security and the date of the
proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the
Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in
respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to
the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such
money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled
to such Defaulted Interest. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special
Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be not more
than fifteen (15) days and not less than ten (10) days prior to the date of the
proposed payment and not less than ten (10) days after the receipt by the
Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall
promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at
the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such
Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first
class, postage prepaid, to each Holder of a Security at the address of such
Holder as it appears in the Securities Register not less than ten (10) days
prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of
such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so
mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the
Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered on such
Special Record Date; or
(ii) The
Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner
not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange or automated
quotation system on which the Securities may be listed, traded or quoted and,
upon such notice as may be required by such exchange or automated quotation
system (or by the Trustee if the Securities are not listed), if, after notice
given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this
clause, such payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

the respective Interest Payment Dates. During the Fixed Rate Period,
the amount of interest payable shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
of twelve 30-day months and the amount payable for any partial period shall be
computed on the basis of the number of days elapsed in a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months. Upon expiration of the Fixed Rate Period, the amount
of interest payable for any interest payment period will be computed on the
basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in the relevant
interest period. The amount of the Modification Fee payable for any
period less than a full calendar quarter shall be computed on the basis of a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

private debts. Payments of principal, premium, if any, interest and
Modification Payments due at the Maturity of such Securities shall be made at
the Place of Payment upon surrender of such Securities to the Paying Agent and
payments of interest and Modification Payments shall be made subject to such
surrender where applicable, by wire transfer at such place and to such account
at a banking institution in the United States as may be designated in writing to
the Paying Agent at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date for payment
by the Person entitled thereto unless proper written transfer instructions have
not been received by the relevant record date, in which case such payments shall
be made by check mailed to the address of such Person as such address shall
appear in the Security Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so
long as the holder of a Security is the Property Trustee, the payment of the
principal of (and premium, if any), interest (including any overdue installment
of interest and Additional Tax Sums, if any) and Modification Payments on such
Security will be made at such place and to such account as may be designated by
the Property Trustee.
(f) The
parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the holders of the Preferred
Securities have certain rights to direct the Company to modify the Interest
Payment Dates and corresponding Redemption Date and Stated Maturity of the
Securities or a portion of the Securities pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement. In the event any such modifications are made to the
Securities or a portion of the Securities, appropriate changes to the form of
Security set forth in Article II hereof
shall be made prior to the issuance and authentication of new or replacement
Securities. Any such modification of the Interest Payment Date and
corresponding Redemption Date and Stated Maturity with respect to any Securities
or tranche of Securities shall not require or be subject to the consent of the
Trustee.
(g) Subject
to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.1, each
Security delivered under this Indenture upon transfer of or in exchange for or
in
