debentures (“Registrable Subordinated Debentures”) in an aggregate
principal amount at least equal to the aggregate principal amount of

documentation as agreed between the Company and the Investor at the
time of such exchange, and (ii) a guarantee relating to the
Registrable TruPS Exchange Securities (a “Registrable Guarantee”),
which guarantee shall have terms substantially identical to the terms
and conditions of the Guarantee relating to the TruPS Exchange
Securities to be exchanged. For the avoidance of doubt, if Registrable
Subordinated Debentures and Registrable Guarantees are issued from
time to time in connection with more than one series of Registrable
TruPS Exchange Securities, none of the Registrable Subordinated
Debentures or the Registrable Guarantees issued in connection with any
one series will be fungible with those issued in connection with any
other series, even if the terms of some of the Registrable
Subordinated Debentures and Registrable Guarantees are substantially
identical.
(b) The Company and Treasury acknowledge and agree that the following text is hereby added
as Section 4.5(f) of the Exchange Agreement:
(f) On the Exchange Settlement Date, the Company shall cause payment
of accumulated and unpaid distributions from and including the last

such exercise to the Company pursuant to Section 4.5(c) of the Exchange Agreement.
(b) The Company accepts this Agreement as sufficient notice of exchange from Treasury and
hereby waives any rights to different notice it may have pursuant to Section 4.5(c) of the Exchange
Agreement.

including the applicable Exchange Settlement Date to but excluding the settlement date of the
Underwritten Offering on any Registrable TruPS Exchange Securities sold in such Underwritten
Offering to be paid to Treasury on the settlement date of the Underwritten Offering.

enter into this Agreement; (ii) it has taken all necessary organizational action to authorize the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement; (iii) no consent or authorization of, filing
with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any governmental authority or any other person is

and is validly existing and in good standing as a statutory trust under the Statutory Trust Act of
the State of Delaware with the statutory trust power and authority to own property and to conduct
its business, issue the Registrable TruPS Exchange Securities and to enter into and perform its

Company, as sponsor, the trustees named therein and the holders from time to time of undivided
beneficial interests in the assets of the TruPS Issuer, and is not required to be authorized to do
business in any other jurisdiction. The TruPS Issuer is not and will not be a party to or otherwise
bound by any agreement other than those entered into in connection with the issuance of the
Registrable TruPS Exchange Securities. The TruPS Issuer will be classified as a grantor trust and
not as an association taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and the TruPS
Issuer is and will be treated as a consolidated subsidiary of the Company pursuant to GAAP.
(ii) The Registrable TruPS Exchange Securities have been duly and validly authorized by the TruPS
Issuer and executed by a regular trustee of the TruPS Issuer and, when the Registrable TruPS
Exchange Securities are issued and delivered pursuant to this Agreement, the Registrable TruPS
Exchange Securities will represent validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable (subject to
Sections 3.10(a)(vi), 9.2 and 9.8 of the Declaration) undivided beneficial interests in the assets
of the TruPS Issuer. Holders of the Registrable TruPS Exchange Securities will be entitled to the

executed and delivered by the Company and the regular trustees named in the Declaration, and
assuming due execution and delivery by the institutional trustee and the Delaware trustee, the
Declaration will be a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in
accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforceability of creditors’
rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings
in equity or at law). The Declaration has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of
1939, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder (together, the
“Trust Indenture Act”) and does comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of
the Trust Indenture Act.
(iv) The Registrable Guarantee has been duly and validly authorized by the Company and has been
duly executed and delivered by the Company, and assuming due execution and delivery by the
guarantee trustee, the Registrable Guarantee will be a valid and legally binding obligation of the
Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the
enforceability of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether
enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law). The Registrable Guarantee has been duly
qualified under the Trust Indenture Act and does comply in all material respects with the
applicable requirements of the Trust Indenture Act.
(v) The indenture (the “Indenture”) between the Company and the trustee named therein relating to
the Registrable Subordinated Debentures has been duly and validly authorized by the Company and
duly executed and delivered by the Company, and assuming due execution and delivery by the
indenture trustee, the Indenture is a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company,
enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforceability of
creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by
proceedings in equity or at law). The Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture
Act and does comply in all material respects with the Trust Indenture Act.
(vi) The Registrable Subordinated Debentures have been duly and validly authorized by the Company
and, when authenticated by the indenture trustee in the manner provided for in the Indenture and
issued in accordance with the Indenture and delivered to the TruPS Issuer against consideration
therefor, will be valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance
with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforceability of creditors’ rights
generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in
equity or at law), and will be in the form contemplated by, and entitled to the benefits of, the
Indenture.
(vii) The regular trustees of the TruPS Issuer are officers of the Company and have been duly
authorized by the Company to execute and deliver the Declaration.
(viii) The TruPS Issuer is not now, nor after giving effect to the transactions contemplated in the
Agreement will be, and the TruPS Issuer is not controlled by, or acting on behalf of any person
which is, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended.
