2.2Maturity.

(a) The Maturity Date shall be either:

(i) the Scheduled Maturity Date; or

(ii) if the Company elects to accelerate the Maturity Date to be a date prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date in accordance with Section 2.2(c), the Accelerated Maturity Date.

(b) The Company may at any time before the day which is ninety (90) days before the Scheduled Maturity Date and after March 31, 2014, elect to shorten the Maturity Date only once to the Accelerated Maturity Date provided that the Company has received the prior approval of the Federal Reserve if then required under applicable capital guidelines, policies or regulations of the Federal Reserve.

(c) If the Company elects to accelerate the Maturity Date in accordance with Section 2.2(b), the Company shall give notice to the Trustee and the Trust (unless the Trust is not the holder of the Debentures, in which case the Trustee will give notice to the holders of the Debentures) of the acceleration of the Maturity Date and the Accelerated Maturity Date at least thirty (30) days and no more than one hundred eighty (180) days before the Accelerated Maturity Date; provided, however, that nothing provided in this Section 2.2 shall limit the Company’s rights, as provided in ARTICLE III hereof, to redeem all or a portion of the Debentures at such time or times on or after December 31, 2013, as the Company may so determine, or at any time upon the occurrence of a Special Event.

2.3Form and Payment. The Debentures shall be issued in fully registered certificated form without interest coupons. Principal and interest on the Debentures issued in certificated form shall be payable, the transfer of such Debentures shall be registrable and such Debentures shall be exchangeable for Debentures bearing identical terms and provisions at the office or agency of the Trustee; provided , however, that payment of interest may be made at the option of the Company by check mailed to the holder at such address as shall appear in the Debenture Register or by wire transfer to an account maintained by the holder as specified in the Debenture Register, provided that the holder provides proper transfer instructions by the regular record date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the holder of any Debentures is the Property Trustee, the payment of principal of and interest (including Compounded Interest and Additional Payments, if any) on such Debentures held by the Property Trustee shall be made at such place and to such account as may be designated by the Property Trustee.

2.4Application of Trust Indenture Act. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein relating to the applicability of the Trust Indenture Act:

(a) Any provision of the Trust Indenture Act, which by its terms would apply to this Agreement (a “Mandatory TIA Provision”), will control over any contrary terms contained herein; and,

(b) The terms of this Agreement will control over all provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, except for Mandatory TIA Provisions.

(c) The parties intend that this Agreement and the Debentures shall not be subject to the Trust Indenture Act, and the provisions of this Agreement which impose any duty or liability upon the Trustees to comply with any provision of the Trust Indenture Act, including any reporting obligations, shall be disregarded until such time as the Company notifies the Trustee that this Agreement is subject to the Trust Indenture Act.

2.5Interest.

(a) Each Debenture shall bear interest at a rate of 7.00% per annum (the “Coupon Rate”) from the original date of issuance until the principal thereof becomes due and payable, and on any overdue principal and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) on any overdue installment of interest at the Coupon Rate, compounded quarterly, payable (subject to the provisions of ARTICLE V) quarterly in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15, and December 15 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on June 15, 2009, to the Person in whose name such Debenture or any Predecessor Debenture is registered, at the close of business on the regular record date for such interest installment, which shall be the fifteenth day of the last month of the calendar quarter.

(b) The amount of interest payable for any period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The amount of interest payable for any period shorter than a full quarterly period for which interest is computed shall be computed on the basis of the number of days elapsed in a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on which interest is payable on the Debentures is not a Business Day, then payment of interest payable on such date shall be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) except that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day (and without any reduction of interest or any other payment in respect of any such acceleration), in each case with the same force and effect as if made on the date such payment was originally payable.

(c) If, at any time while the Property Trustee is the holder of any Debentures, the Trust or the Property Trustee is required to pay any taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature (other than withholding taxes) imposed by the United States, or any other taxing authority, then, in any case, the Company shall pay as additional payments (“Additional Payments”) on the Debentures held by the Property Trustee, such additional amounts as shall be required so that the net amounts received and retained by the Trust and the Property Trustee after paying such taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges shall be equal to the amounts the Trust and the Property Trustee would have received had no such taxes, duties, assessments or other government charges been imposed. Whenever in this Indenture or the Debentures there is a reference in any context to the payment of principal of or interest on the Debentures, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of payments of the Additional Payments provided for in this paragraph to the extent that, in such context, Additional Payments are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph and express mention of the payment of Additional Payments (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding Additional Payments in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made; provided, however, that the deferral of the payment of interest during an Extension Period pursuant to Section 5.1 shall not defer the payment of any Additional Payments that may be due and payable.

2.6Execution and Authentication.

(a) The Debentures shall be signed on behalf of the Company by its Chief Executive Officer, President or one of its Executive Vice Presidents, attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries or by its Treasurer or one of its Assistant Treasurers.

The Company may use the facsimile signature of any Person who shall have been a Chief Executive Officer, President or Executive Vice President thereof, or of any Person who shall have been a Secretary, Assistant Secretary, Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer thereof, notwithstanding the fact that at the time the Debentures shall be authenticated and delivered or disposed of such Person shall have ceased to be the Chief Executive Officer, President or an Executive Vice President, or the Secretary, Assistant Secretary, Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer of the Company (and any such signature shall be binding on the Company). Each Debenture shall be dated the date of its authentication by the Trustee.

(b) A Debenture shall not be valid until manually authenticated by an authorized signatory of the Trustee, or by an Authenticating Agent. Such signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Debenture so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

(c) At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Debentures executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a written order of the Company for the authentication and delivery of such Debentures signed by its Chief Executive Officer, President or any Executive Vice President, and the Trustee in accordance with such written order shall authenticate and deliver such Debentures.

(d) In authenticating such Debentures and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Debentures, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 10.1) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the form and terms thereof have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture.

(e) The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Debentures if the issue of such Debentures pursuant to this Indenture shall affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Debentures and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner that is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

2.7Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

(a) Debentures may be exchanged upon presentation thereof at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, or at the office of the Debenture Registrar, for other Debentures and for a like aggregate principal amount in denominations of integral multiples of $1,000, upon payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in relation thereto, all as provided in this Section 2.7. In respect of any Debentures so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in exchange therefor the Debenture or Debentures that the Debentureholder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive, bearing numbers not contemporaneously outstanding.

(b) The Company shall keep, or cause to be kept, at its office or agency designated for such purpose in the County of Tompkins, the City of Ithaca, or at the office of the Debenture Registrar, or such other location designated by the Company a register or registers (herein referred to as the “Debenture Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the Debenture Registrar (as defined below) may prescribe, the Company shall register the Debentures and the transfers of Debentures as in this ARTICLE II provided and which at all reasonable times shall be open for inspection by the Trustee. The registrar for the purpose of registering Debentures and transfer of Debentures as herein provided shall initially be the Trustee and thereafter as may be appointed by the Company as authorized by Board Resolution (the “Debenture Registrar”). Upon surrender for transfer of any Debenture at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose, the Company shall execute, the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Debenture or Debentures for a like aggregate principal amount. All Debentures presented or surrendered for exchange or registration of transfer, as provided in this Section 2.7, shall be accompanied (if so required by the Company or the Debenture Registrar) by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company or the Debenture Registrar, duly executed by the registered holder or by such holder’s duly authorized attorney in writing.

(c) No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Debentures, or issue of new Debentures in case of partial redemption, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in relation thereto, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.8, Section 3.5(b) and Section 12.4 not involving any transfer.

(d) The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, exchange or register the transfer of any Debentures during a period beginning at the opening of business fifteen (15) days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of less than all the Outstanding Debentures and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing; nor (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Debentures or portions thereof called for redemption.

Every temporary Debenture shall be executed by the Company and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Debentures. Without unnecessary delay, the Company shall execute and shall furnish definitive Debentures and thereupon any or all temporary Debentures may be surrendered in exchange therefor (without charge to the holders), at the office or agency of the Company designated for the purpose and the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in exchange for such temporary Debentures an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Debentures, unless the Company advises the Trustee to the effect that definitive Debentures need not be authenticated and furnished until further notice from the Company. Until so exchanged, the temporary Debentures shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Debentures authenticated and delivered hereunder.

2.9Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Debentures.

Upon the issuance of any substituted Debenture, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. In case any Debenture that has matured or is about to mature shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, instead of issuing a substitute Debenture, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Debenture) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as they may require to save them harmless, and, in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to the satisfaction of the Company and the Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such Debenture and of the ownership thereof.

(b) Every replacement Debenture issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.9 shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debenture shall be found at any time, or be enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Debentures duly issued hereunder. All Debentures shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debentures, and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) any and all other rights or remedies, notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.

2.10Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver Debentures to the Trustee for cancellation. All Debentures surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption, exchange or registration of transfer shall, if surrendered to the Company or any Paying Agent, be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be canceled by it, and no Debentures shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly required or permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. On request of the Company at the time of such surrender, the Trustee shall deliver to the Company canceled Debentures held by the Trustee. In the absence of such request the Trustee may dispose of canceled Debentures in accordance with its standard procedures and deliver a certificate of disposition to the Company. If the Company shall otherwise acquire any of the Debentures, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Debentures unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

2.11Benefit of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Debentures, express or implied, shall give or be construed to give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and the holders of the Debentures (and, with respect to the provisions of ARTICLE XVII, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Indenture, or under any covenant, condition or provision herein contained; all such covenants, conditions and provisions being for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and of the holders of the Debentures (and, with respect to the provisions of ARTICLE XVII, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness).

Said Authenticating Agent shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Debentures issued upon exchange, transfer or partial redemption thereof, and Debentures so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. All references in this Indenture to the authentication of Debentures by the Trustee shall be deemed to include authentication by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to and approved by the Company in writing and shall be a corporation that has a combined capital and surplus, as most recently reported or determined by it, sufficient under the laws of any jurisdiction under which it is organized or in which it is doing business to conduct a trust business, and that is otherwise authorized under such laws to conduct such business and is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities. If at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with these provisions, it shall resign immediately.

(b) Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time (and upon request by the Company shall) terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon resignation, termination or cessation of eligibility of any Authenticating Agent, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent eligible under the provisions of Section 13.2(a) of this Indenture. Any successor Authenticating Agent, upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder, shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent pursuant hereto.

3.2Special Event Redemption. Subject to the Company having received the prior approval of the Federal Reserve, if then required under the applicable capital guidelines, policies or regulations of the Federal Reserve, if a Special Event has occurred and is continuing, then, notwithstanding Section 3.3(a) but subject to Section 3.3(b), the Company shall have the right upon not less than thirty (30) days’ nor more than sixty (60) days’ notice to the holders of the Debentures to redeem the Debentures, in whole but not in part, for cash within one hundred eighty (180) days following the occurrence of such Special Event (the “180-Day Period”) at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of such redemption (the “Redemption Price”), provided that if at the time there is available to the Company the opportunity to eliminate, within the 180-Day Period, a Tax Event by taking some ministerial action (a “Ministerial Action”), such as filing a form or making an election, or pursuing some other similar reasonable measure which has no adverse effect on the Company, the Trust or the holders of the Trust Securities issued by the Trust, the Company shall pursue such Ministerial Action in lieu of redemption, and, provided further, that the Company shall have no right to redeem the Debentures pursuant to this Section 3.2 while it is pursuing any Ministerial Action pursuant to its obligations hereunder, and, provided further, that, if it is determined that the taking of a Ministerial Action would not eliminate the Tax Event within the 180 Day Period, the Company’s right to redeem the Debentures pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall be restored and it shall have no further obligations to pursue the Ministerial Action.

(a) Except as otherwise may be specified in this Indenture, the Company shall have the right to redeem the Debentures, in whole or in part, from time to time, on or after December 31, 2013, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of such redemption. Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.3(a) shall be made upon not less than thirty (30) days’ nor more than sixty (60) days’ notice to the holder of the Debentures, at the Redemption Price. If the Debentures are only partially redeemed pursuant to this Section 3.3(a), the Debentures shall be redeemed pro rata or by lot or in such other manner as the Trustee shall deem appropriate and fair in its discretion. The Redemption Price shall be paid prior to 12:00 noon, New York time, on the date of such redemption or at such earlier time as the Company determines provided that the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount sufficient to pay the Redemption Price by 10:00 a.m., New York time, on the date such Redemption Price is to be paid.

(b) The Company shall have the right to redeem Debentures at any time and from time to time in a principal amount equal to the Liquidation Amount (as defined in the Trust Agreement) of any Preferred Securities purchased and beneficially owned by the Company, plus an additional principal amount of Debentures equal to the Liquidation Amount of that number of Common Securities that bears the same proportion to the total number of Common Securities then outstanding as the number of Preferred Securities to be redeemed bears to the total number of Preferred Securities then outstanding. Such Debentures shall be redeemed pursuant to this Section 3.3(b) only in exchange for and upon surrender by the Company to the Property Trustee of the Preferred Securities and a proportionate amount of Common Securities, whereupon the Property Trustee shall cancel the Preferred Securities and Common Securities so surrendered and a Like Amount (as defined in the Trust Agreement) of Debentures shall be extinguished by the Trustee and shall no longer be deemed Outstanding.

3.4Notice of Redemption.

(a) Except in the case of a redemption pursuant to Section 3.3(b), in case the Company shall desire to exercise such right to redeem all or, as the case may be, a portion of the Debentures in accordance with the right reserved so to do, the Company shall, or shall cause the Trustee to upon receipt of forty-five (45) days’ written notice from the Company, give notice of such redemption to holders of the Debentures to be redeemed by mailing, first class postage prepaid, a notice of such redemption not less than thirty (30) days and not more than sixty (60) days before the date fixed for redemption to such holders at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the Debenture Register unless a shorter period is specified in the Debentures to be redeemed. Any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the registered holder receives the notice. In any case, failure duly to give such notice to the holder of any Debenture designated for redemption in whole or in part, or any defect in the notice, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Debentures. In the case of any redemption of Debentures prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Debentures or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with any such restriction. Each such notice of redemption shall specify the date fixed for redemption and the Redemption Price and shall state

that payment of the Redemption Price shall be made at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York or at the Corporate Trust Office, upon presentation and surrender of such Debentures, that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption shall be paid as specified in said notice and that from and after said date interest shall cease to accrue. If less than all the Debentures are to be redeemed, the notice to the holders of the Debentures shall specify the particular Debentures to be redeemed. If the Debentures are to be redeemed in part only, the notice shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that on and after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Debenture, a new Debenture or Debentures in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof shall be issued.

(b) Except in the case of a redemption pursuant to Section 3.3(b), if less than all the Debentures are to be redeemed, the Company shall give the Trustee at least forty-five (45) days’ written notice in advance of the date fixed for redemption as to the aggregate principal amount of Debentures to be redeemed, and thereupon the Trustee shall select, pro rata or by lot or in such other manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair in its discretion, the portion or portions (equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof) of the Debentures to be redeemed and shall thereafter promptly notify the Company in writing of the numbers of the Debentures to be redeemed, in whole or in part. The Company may, if and whenever it shall so elect pursuant to the terms hereof, by delivery of instructions signed on its behalf by its Chief Executive Officer, President or any Executive Vice President, instruct the Trustee or any Paying Agent to call all or any part of the Debentures for redemption and to give notice of redemption in the manner set forth in this Section 3.4, such notice to be in the name of the Company or its own name as the Trustee or such Paying Agent may deem advisable. In any case in which notice of redemption is to be given by the Trustee or any such Paying Agent, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to, or permit to remain with, the Trustee or such Paying Agent, as the case may be, such Debenture Register, transfer books or other records, or suitable copies or extracts therefrom, sufficient to enable the Trustee or such Paying Agent to give any notice by mail that may be required under the provisions of this Section 3.4.

3.5Payment upon Redemption.

(a) If the giving of notice of redemption shall have been completed as above provided, the Debentures or portions of Debentures to be redeemed specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable Redemption Price, and interest on such Debentures or portions of Debentures shall cease to accrue on and after the date fixed for redemption, unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Redemption Price with respect to any such Debenture or portion thereof. On presentation and surrender of such Debentures on or after the date fixed for redemption at the place of payment specified in the notice, said Debentures shall be paid and redeemed at the Redemption Price (but if the date fixed for redemption is an Interest Payment Date, the interest installment payable on such date shall be payable to the registered holder at the close of business on the applicable record date pursuant to Section 3.3).

(b) Upon presentation of any Debenture that is to be redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and the office or agency where the Debenture is presented shall deliver to the holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Debenture of authorized denomination in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Debenture so presented.

3.6No Sinking Fund. The Debentures are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.

ARTICLE IV.
CONVERSION OF DEBENTURES

4.1Conversion Rights. Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this ARTICLE IV, the Debentures are convertible, at the option of the Debentureholder, during specified annual windows commencing in 2019, and on or before the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of repayment of such Debentures at maturity (but not upon redemption), into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at a conversion price determined as follows. The conversion price shall be the greater of: (a) $41.35 (the “Floor”); and (b) the average Closing Sales Prices of Common Stock for each of the Trading Days in the first three months of the calendar year in which the conversion takes place (the “TMP Common Stock Per Share Value”), which conversion price shall be subject to adjustment as described in this ARTICLE IV (the greater of subparagraph (a) or (b) being the “Conversion Ratio”). A Debentureholder may convert any portion of the principal amount of the Debentures into that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock obtained by dividing (x) the principal amount of the Debentures to be converted by (y) the Conversion Ratio. In case a Debenture or portion thereof is called for redemption, such conversion right in respect of the Debenture or portion so called shall expire at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the corresponding Maturity Date, unless the Company defaults in making the payment due upon redemption. A conversion hereunder will be effected once each year on April 15, commencing April 15, 2019; provided that if the applicable April 15^th is not a Business Day, the conversion shall be effected on the next succeeding Business Day. In order to convert any Debenture, the notice described in Section 4.2 below must be submitted between January 1 and March 31 of the year in which the conversion is to occur, in order to complete a conversion on April 15 of that year.

4.2Conversion Procedures.

(a) To convert all or a portion of the Debentures, the Debentureholder thereof shall deliver to the Conversion Agent an irrevocable conversion request between January 1 and March 31 of the year in which the conversion is to occur setting forth the principal amount of Debentures to be converted, together with the name or names, if other than the Debentureholder, in which the shares of Common Stock should be issued upon conversion and surrender to the Conversion Agent the Debentures to be converted, duly endorsed or assigned to the Company or in blank (the “Conversion Request”). In addition, a holder of Preferred Securities may exercise its right under the Trust Agreement to exchange such Preferred Securities for Debentures which shall be converted into Common Stock by delivering to the Conversion Agent an irrevocable Conversion Request, in substantially the form set forth in the Trust Agreement, setting forth the information called for by the preceding sentence and directing the Conversion Agent (i) to exchange such Preferred Security for a portion of the Debentures held by the Trust (at an exchange rate of $1,000 principal amount of Debentures for each Preferred Security), and (ii) to immediately convert such Debentures, on behalf of such Debentureholder, into Common Stock pursuant to this ARTICLE IV and surrendering such Preferred Securities duly endorsed or assigned to the Company or in blank. So long as any Preferred Securities are outstanding, the Trust shall not convert any Debentures except pursuant to a Conversion Request delivered to the Conversion Agent by a holder of Preferred Securities.

(b) Holders of Preferred Securities at the close of business on a record date for payment of Distributions shall be entitled to receive the distribution payable on such Preferred Securities on the corresponding distribution payment date notwithstanding the conversion of such Preferred Securities following the distribution record date. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, the Company shall not make, or be required to make, any payment, allowance or adjustment for accumulated and unpaid interest, whether or not in arrears, on converted Debentures; provided, however, that if notice of redemption of Debentures is mailed or otherwise given to Debentureholder prior to the effective date of conversion, then, any Debentureholder shall no longer be entitled to convert such Debenture, any Conversion Request shall be deemed withdrawn, and such Debenture shall be redeemed in accordance with the redemption provisions set out elsewhere herein. In the case of any Debenture which is converted, interest which is payable after the date of conversion of such Debenture shall not be payable, and the Company shall not make nor be required to make any other payment, adjustment or allowance with respect to accrued but unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on the Debentures being converted, which shall be deemed to be paid in full.

(c) In order to convert Trust Securities into Common Stock, the Holder must submit the documents identified in Section 4.3(b) to the Conversion Agent between January 1 and March 31 of the year in which the Holder requests conversion. Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to close of business on the April 15th following the day on which the Conversion Request was received (provided that if the applicable April 15th is not a Business Day, the conversion shall be effected on the next succeeding Business Day) (the “Conversion Date”) by the Conversion Agent from the Debentureholder or from a holder of the Preferred Securities effecting a conversion thereof pursuant to its conversion rights under the Trust Agreement, as the case may be. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as a record holder or holders of such Common Stock as of the Conversion Date. As promptly as practicable on or after the Conversion Date, the Company shall issue and deliver at the office of the Conversion Agent, unless otherwise directed by the Debentureholder in the Conversion Request, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, together with the cash payment, if any, in lieu of any fraction of any share to the Person or Persons entitled to receive the same. The Conversion Agent shall deliver such certificate or certificates to each Person or Persons.

(d) Subject to any right of the Debentureholder, the Company’s delivery upon conversion of the fixed number of shares of Common Stock into which the Debentures are convertible (together with the cash payment, if any, in lieu of fractional shares) shall be deemed to satisfy the Company’s obligation to pay the principal amount at maturity of the portion of Debentures so converted and any unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) accrued on such Debentures at the time of such conversion.

(e) No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued as a result of conversion, but in lieu thereof, the Company shall pay to the Conversion Agent a cash adjustment in an amount equal to the same fraction of the last Closing Sale Price of such fractional interest on the date on which the Debentures or Preferred Securities, as the case may be, were duly surrendered to the Conversion Agent for conversion, or, if such day is not a Trading Day, on the next Trading Day, and the Conversion Agent in turn shall make such payment, if any, to the Debentureholder or the holder of the Preferred Securities so converted. In the event of the conversion of any Debenture in part only, a new Debenture or Debentures for the unconverted portion thereof shall be issued in the name of the Debentureholder thereof upon the cancellation thereof in accordance with Section 2.9.

(f) In effecting the conversion transactions described in this Section 4.2, the Conversion Agent is acting as agent of the holders of Preferred Securities (in the exchange of Preferred Securities for Debentures) and as agent of the Debentureholders (in the conversion of Debentures into Common Stock), as the case may be, directing it to effect such conversion transactions. The Conversion Agent is hereby authorized (i) to exchange Preferred Securities for Debentures held by the Trust from time to time in connection with the conversion of such Preferred Securities in accordance with this ARTICLE IV, and (ii) to convert all or a portion of the Debentures into Common Stock and thereupon to deliver such shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of this ARTICLE IV and to deliver to the Trust a new Debenture or Debentures for any resulting unconverted principal amount.

4.3Conversion Ratio Adjustments.

(a) The Floor shall be subject to adjustment (without duplication) from time to time as follows: (a) In case the Company shall, while any of the Debentures are outstanding, (i) pay a dividend or make a distribution with respect to its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue by reclassification of its shares of Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Floor in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the holders of any Debentures thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of capital stock of the Company which he would have owned immediately following such action had such Debentures been converted immediately prior thereto. An adjustment made pursuant to this 4.3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or other distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification (or immediately after the record date if a record date shall have been established for such event) If, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4.3(a), the holder of any Debenture thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes or series of capital stock of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be described in a Board Resolution filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Ratio between or among shares of such classes or series of capital stock.

(b) In case the Company shall, while any of the Debentures are outstanding, issue rights or warrants to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the record date mentioned in this Section 4.3(b) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as defined below) per share of Common Stock on such record date, then the Floor for the Debentures shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the ratio determined by multiplying the Conversion Ratio in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights or warrants by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such Current Market Price. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants. For the purposes of this Section 4.3(b), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company. The Company shall not issue any rights or warrants in respect of the shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company. In case any rights or warrants referred to in this Section 4.3(b) in respect of which an adjustment shall have been made shall expire unexercised within 45 days after the same shall have been distributed or issued by the Company, the Floor shall be readjusted at the time of such expiration to the Floor that would have been in effect if no adjustment had been made on account of the distribution or issuance of such expired rights or warrants.

(c) Subject to the last sentence of this Section 4.3(c), in case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness, shares of any class or series of capital stock, cash or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in Section 4.3(b), any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash and any dividend or distribution referred to in Section 4.3(a)), then the Floor shall be increased so that the same shall equal the ratio determined by multiplying the Conversion Ratio in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Floor increase contemplated by this Section 4.3(c) by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the date fixed for the payment of such distribution (the “Reference Date”), and of which the denominator shall be, the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the Reference Date less the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution), on the Reference Date, of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, cash and assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, such increase to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Reference Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Floor shall again be adjusted to be the Floor which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not occurred. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 4.3(c) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities comprising such distribution, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock. For purposes of this Section 4.3(c), any dividend or distribution that includes shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, cash or assets other than such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (making any Floor increase required by this Section 4.3(c)) immediately

followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (making any farther Floor increase required by Section 4.3(a) or 4.3(b)), except (A) the Reference Date of such dividend or distribution as defined in this Section 4.3(c)) shall be substituted as (a) “the record date in the case of a dividend or other distribution,” and (b) “the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants,” and “the date fixed for such determination” within the meaning of Sections 4.3(a) and 4.3(b), and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed outstanding for purposes of computing any adjustment of the Floor in Section 4.3(a).

(d) In case the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on its Common Stock exclusively in cash (excluding all cash dividends paid out of the retained earnings of the Company), then the Floor shall be increased so that the same shall equal the ratio determined by multiplying the Floor in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Floor increase contemplated by this Section 4.3(d) by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the date fixed for the payment of such distribution less the amount of cash so distributed and not excluded as provided applicable to one share of Common Stock on the date fixed for the payment of such distribution, such increase to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the payment of such distribution; provided, however, that in the event the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned above, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Debentureholder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of cash such Debentureholder would have received had such Debentureholder converted each Debenture immediately prior to the record date for the distribution of the cash. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Floor shall again be adjusted to be the Floor which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed.

(e) In case a tender or exchange offer (other than an odd-lot offer) made by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender or exchange offer shall involve the payment by the Company or such subsidiary of consideration per share of Common Stock having a fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) at the last time (the “Expiration Time”) tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it shall have been amended) that exceeds 110% of the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, then the Floor shall be increased so that the same shall equal the ratio determined by multiplying the Floor in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Floor increase contemplated by Section 4.3(c) by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the sum of (x) the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to shareholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terns of the tender or exchange offer) of all shares validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the “Purchased Shares”), and (y) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (less any Purchased Shares) at the Expiration Time and the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged shares) at the Expiration Time multiplied by the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, such increase to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time.

(f) For the purpose of any computation under Sections 4.3(b), 4.3(c), 4.3(d) or 4.3(e), the “Current Market Price” per share of Common Stock on any date in question shall be deemed to be the average of the daily Closing Prices for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than the earlier of the day in question or, if applicable, the day before the “ex” date with respect to the issuance or distribution requiring such computation; provided, however, that if another event occurs that would require an adjustment pursuant to Sections 4.3(a) through 4.3(e), inclusive, the Board of Directors may make such adjustments to the Closing Prices during such five Trading Day period as it deems appropriate to effectuate the intent of the adjustments in this Section 4.3, in which case any such determination by the Board of Directors shall be set forth in a Board Resolution and shall be conclusive. For purposes of this Section 4.3(f), the term “ex” date, (i)-when used with respect to any issuance or distribution, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the NYSE Amex or on such successor securities quotation system as the Common Stock may be listed or in the relevant market from which the Closing Prices were obtained without the right to receive such issuance or distribution, and (ii) when used with respect to any tender or exchange offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on such securities exchange or in such market after the Expiration Time of such offer.

(g) The Company may make such increases in the Floor, in addition to those required by Sections 4.3(a) through 4.3(e), as it considers to be advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes. The Company from time to time may increase the Floor by any amount for any period of time if the period is at least 20 days, the increase is irrevocable during the period, and the Board of Directors shall have made a determination that such increase would be in the best interest of the Company, which determination shall be conclusive. Whenever the Floor is increased pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall mail to Debentureholders of record a notice of the increase at least fifteen days prior to the date the increased Floor takes effect, and such notice shall state the increased Floor and the period it shall be in effect.

(h) No adjustment in the Floor shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Floor; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 4.3(h) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in determining whether any subsequent adjustment shall be required. The adjusted Floor will be rounded to four decimal places.

(i) If any action would require adjustment of the Floor pursuant to more than one of the provisions described above, only one adjustment shall be made and such adjustment shall be the amount of adjustment that has the highest absolute value to the Debentureholders.

4.4Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets. In the event that the Company shall be a party to any transaction, including without limitation (a) any recapitalization or reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination of the Common Stock), (b) any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into any other Person, any merger of another Person into the Company (other than a merger which does not result in a reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company), (c) any sale, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or (d) any compulsory share exchange, in each case pursuant to which the Common Stock is converted into the right to receive other securities, cash or other property (each of (a) through (d) a “Business Transaction”), then Preferred Securities would become, during the annual windows on and after January 1, 2019, convertible into shares of common stock of the acquiring entity. In the event of a Business Transaction, the Conversion Ratio shall thereafter be the greater of (i) the Floor multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Closing Sales Price of the acquiring entity’s common stock on the closing date of the Business Transaction, the denominator of which is the Closing Sales Price of Common Stock on the last Trading Day preceding the closing of the Business Transaction, and (ii) the per share value of the acquiring entity’s common stock at the time of conversion, determined using the same methodology as is used to determine the TMP Common Stock Per Share Value, but substituting the Closing Sales Prices of the acquiring entity.

The Company or the Person formed by such consolidation or resulting from such merger or which acquired such assets or which acquires the shares of the Company, as the case may be, shall make provision in its certificate or articles of incorporation or other constituent document to establish such right. Such certificate or articles of incorporation or other constituent document shall provide for adjustments which, for events subsequent to the effective date of such certificate or articles of incorporation or other constitution document, shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this ARTICLE IV. The above provisions shall similarly apply to successive transactions of the foregoing type.

4.5Notice of Adjustments of Conversion Ratio. Whenever the Conversion Ratio is adjusted as herein provided:

(a) The Company shall compute the adjusted Conversion Ratio and shall prepare a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board, President or a Vice President of the Company and by its Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer of the Company setting forth the adjusted Conversion Ratio and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based, and such certificate shall forthwith be filed with the Trustee, the Conversion Agent and the transfer agent for the Preferred Securities and the Debentures; and

(b) a notice stating that the Conversion Ratio has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted Conversion Ratio shall as soon as practicable be mailed by the Company to all record holders of Preferred Securities and the Debentures at their last addresses as they appear upon the stock transfer books of the Company and the Trust.

4.6Prior Notice of Certain Events. In case:

(a) the Company shall (i) declare any dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock, other than (A) a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock, or (B) a dividend payable in cash that would not require an adjustment pursuant to Section 4.3(c) or 4.3(d), or (ii) authorize a tender or exchange offer that would require an adjustment pursuant to Section 4.3(e);

(b) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or series or of any other rights or warrants;

(c) of any reclassification of Common Stock (other than a subdivision or combination of the outstanding Common Stock, or a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value), or of any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any shareholders of the Company shall be required, or the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or of any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or other property; or

(d) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company;

then the Company shall (1) if any Preferred Securities are outstanding, cause to be filed with the transfer agent for the Preferred Securities, and shall cause to be mailed to the holders of record of the Preferred Securities, at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the securities register of the Trust, or (2) shall cause to be mailed to all Debentureholders at their last addresses as they shall appear in the Debenture Register, at least fifteen days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record (if any) is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, rights or warrants or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, rights or warrants are to be determined, or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, share exchange, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, share exchange, dissolution, liquidation or winding up (but no failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice).

4.7Certain Defined Terms. The following definitions shall apply to terms used in this ARTICLE IV:

“Closing Sale Prices” of any security on any day shall mean the last reported sale price for such security, regular way, on such day or, if no sale takes place on such day, the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices on such day, regular way, of such security, in either case as reported on the NYSE Amex or, if such security is not quoted or admitted to trading on such exchange, on the principal quotation system on which such security is listed or admitted to trading or quoted, or, if not listed or admitted to trading or quoted on any national securities exchange or quotation system, the average of the closing bid and asked prices of such security in the over-the-counter market on the day in question as reported by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated, or a similar generally accepted reporting service, or, if not so available in such manner, as furnished by any NASDAQ member firm selected from time to time by the Board of Directors for that purpose or, if not so available in such manner, as otherwise determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

“Trading Day” shall mean a day on which securities are traded on the national securities exchange or quotation system used to determine the Closing Price.

4.8Dividend or Interest Reinvestment Plans. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on securities of the Company and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any such plan, and the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase such shares pursuant to any employee benefit plan or program of the Company or pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security outstanding as of the date the Debentures were first issued, shall not be deemed to constitute an issuance of Common Stock or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible securities by the Company to which any of the adjustment provisions described above shall apply. There also shall be no adjustment of the Conversion Ratio in case of the issuance of any stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for stock) of the Company except as specifically described in this ARTICLE IV.

4.9Certain Additional Rights. In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, declare or make a distribution on its Common Stock referred to in Section 4.3(c) or 4.3(d) (including, without limitation, dividends or distributions referred to in the last sentence of Section 4.3(c)), then the Debentureholders, upon the conversion thereof subsequent to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution and prior to the effectiveness of the Floor adjustment in respect of such distribution, also shall be entitled to receive for each share of Common Stock into which the Debentures are converted, the portion of the shares of Common Stock, rights, warrants, evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, cash and assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock; provided, however, that, at the election of the Company (whose election shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution) with respect to all Debentureholders so converting, the Company may, in lieu of distributing to such Debentureholder any portion of such distribution not consisting of cash or securities of the Company, pay such Debentureholder an amount in cash equal to the fair market value thereof (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution). If any conversion of Debentures described in the immediately preceding sentence occurs prior to the payment date for a distribution to holders of Common Stock which the Debentureholders so converted is entitled to receive in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the Company may elect (such election to be evidenced by a Board Resolution) to distribute to such Debentureholder a due bill for the shares of Common Stock, rights, warrants, evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, cash or assets to which such Debentureholder is so entitled, provided, that such due bill (i) meets any applicable requirements of the principal national securities quotation system or other market on which the Common Stock is then traded, and (ii) requires payment or delivery of such shares of Common Stock, rights, warrants, evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, cash or assets no later than the date of payment or delivery thereof to holders of shares of Common Stock receiving such distribution.

4.10Trustee Not Responsible for Determining Conversion Ratio or Adjustments. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Debentureholder to determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Conversion Ratio, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind of account) of any shares of Common Stock or of any securities or property, which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Debenture; and neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent makes any representation with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to make any cash payment or to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock certificates or other securities or property upon the surrender of any Debenture for the purpose of conversion, or to comply with any of the covenants of the Company contained in ARTICLE VI or this ARTICLE IV. In connection with any conversion, the Company will furnish information to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent establishing the TMP Common Stock Per Share Value (and, if appropriate, that the Floor is to be used instead of such TMP Common Stock Per Share Value), and the Trustee and Conversion Agent shall be authorized and entitled to conclusively rely thereon.

4.11Compliance with Laws and Rules of Exchange. The Company’s obligation to issue shares of Common Stock shall be subject to compliance with any and all applicable federal and state securities laws and the rules and regulations of any stock exchange on which shares of Common Stock may be listed. The Company reserves the right to suspend or terminate the conversion rights set forth herein if: (i) any governmental or regulatory authority so requires; or (ii) it determines that such conversion would be unlawful. The shares of Common Stock to be issued in conversion will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or any state securities law and the Company is under no obligation to register such shares. As such, the Debentureholder understands that any shares of Common Stock into which the Debentures may be converted will constitute “restricted securities” under the Act and, as such may not be resold or transferred without registration under the Act or applicable state securities laws, or an applicable exemption from registration. The Debentureholder further acknowledges that any certificate representing the Common Stock issued upon any conversion will bear a legend with respect to such restrictions. Each Debentureholder, by his, her or its acceptance thereof, covenants agrees that, at the time of any conversion thereof, such Debentureholder will deliver to the Company a written certification that the Common Stock acquired by the Debentureholder upon conversion are for the account of the Debentureholder and acquired for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any public distribution thereof.

ARTICLE V.
EXTENSION OF INTEREST PAYMENT PERIOD

5.1Extension of Interest Payment Period. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall have the right, at any time and from time to time during the term of the Debentures, to defer payments of interest by extending the interest payment period of such Debentures for a period not exceeding twenty (20) consecutive quarters (the “Extension Period”), during which Extension Period no interest shall be due and payable; provided that no Extension Period may extend beyond the Maturity Date or end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date. To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest, the payment of which has been deferred because of the extension of the interest payment period pursuant to this Section 5.1, shall bear interest thereon at the Coupon Rate compounded quarterly for each quarter of the Extension Period (“Compounded Interest”). At the end of the Extension Period, the Company shall calculate (and deliver such calculation to the Trustee) and pay all interest accrued and unpaid on the Debentures, including any Additional Payments and Compounded Interest (together, “Deferred Payments”) that shall be payable to the holders of the Debentures in whose names the Debentures are registered in the Debenture Register on the first record date after the end of the Extension Period. Before the termination of any Extension Period, the Company may further extend such period so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, provided that such period together with all such further extensions thereof shall not exceed twenty (20) consecutive quarters, or extend beyond the Maturity Date of the Debentures or end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date. Upon the termination of any Extension Period and upon the payment of all Deferred Payments then due, the Company may commence a new Extension Period, subject to the foregoing requirements. No interest shall be due and payable during an Extension Period, except at the end thereof, but the Company may prepay at any time all or any portion of the interest accrued during an Extension Period.

5.2Notice of Extension.

(a) If the Property Trustee is the only registered holder of the Debentures at the time the Company selects an Extension Period, the Company shall give written notice to the Administrative Trustees, the Property Trustee and the Trustee of its selection of such Extension Period at least two Business Days before the earlier of (i) the next succeeding date on which Distributions on the Trust Securities issued by the Trust are payable; or (ii) the date the Trust is required to give notice of the record date, or the date such Distributions are payable, to holders of the Preferred Securities issued by the Trust, but in any event at least one Business Day before such record date.

(b) If the Property Trustee is not the only holder of the Debentures at the time the Company selects an Extension Period, the Company shall give the holders of the Debentures and the Trustee written notice of its selection of such Extension Period at least two Business Days before the earlier of (i) the next succeeding Interest Payment Date; or (ii) the date the Company is required to give notice of the record or payment date of such interest payment to any applicable exchange or self-regulatory organization or to holders of the Debentures.

(c) The quarter in which any notice is given pursuant to paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Section 5.2 shall be counted as one of the twenty (20) quarters permitted in the maximum Extension Period permitted under Section 5.1.

5.3Limitation on Transactions. If (a) the Company shall exercise its right to defer payment of interest as provided in Section 5.1; or (b) there shall have occurred and be continuing any Event of Default, then (i) neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall declare or pay any dividend on, make any distributions with respect to, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of its capital stock (other than (A) dividends or distributions in common stock of the Company, or any declaration of a non-cash dividend in connection with the implementation of a shareholder rights plan, or the issuance of stock under any such plan in the future, or the redemption or repurchase of any such rights pursuant thereto, (B) purchases of common stock of the Company related to the rights under any of the Company’s benefit plans for its directors, officers or employees, (C) as a result of a reclassification of its capital stock for another class of its capital stock, (D) dividends or distributions made by a Subsidiary to the Company, or (E) dividends or distributions made by a Subsidiary to a Subsidiary); (ii) neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall make any payment of interest, principal or premium, if any, or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities issued by the Company or any Subsidiary which rank pari passu with or junior to the Debentures or make any guarantee payments with respect to any guarantee by the Company of any debt securities if such guarantee ranks pari passu with or junior in interest to the Debentures; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing the Company may make payments pursuant to its obligations under the Preferred Securities Guarantee; and (iii) the Company shall not redeem, purchase or acquire less than all of the Outstanding Debentures or any of the Preferred Securities.

ARTICLE VI.
PARTICULAR COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY

6.1Payment of Principal and Interest. The Company shall duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of and interest on the Debentures at the time and place and in the manner provided herein. Each such payment of the principal of and interest on the Debentures shall relate only to the Debentures, shall not be combined with any other payment of the principal of or interest on any other obligation of the Company, and shall be clearly and unmistakably identified as pertaining to the Debentures.

6.2Maintenance of Agency. So long as any of the Debentures remain Outstanding, the Company shall maintain, or shall cause to be maintained, an office or agency in the County of Tompkins, the City of Ithaca, and at such other location or locations as may be designated as provided in this Section 6.2, where (a) Debentures may be presented for payment; (b) Debentures may be presented as hereinabove authorized for registration of transfer and exchange; and (c) notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Debentures and this Indenture may be given or served, such designation to continue with respect to such office or agency until the Company shall, by written notice signed by its President or an Executive Vice President and delivered to the Trustee, designate some other office or agency for such purposes or any of them. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, notices and demands. In addition to any such office or agency, the Company may from time to time designate one or more offices or agencies outside of the County of Tompkins, City of Ithaca, where the Debentures may be presented for registration or transfer and for exchange in the manner provided herein, and the Company may from time to time rescind such designation as the Company may deem desirable or expedient; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain any such office or agency in the County Tompkins, the City of Ithaca, for the purposes above mentioned. The Company shall give the Trustee prompt written notice of any such designation or rescission thereof.

6.3Paying Agents.

(a) The Company shall be the initial Paying Agent. If the Company shall appoint one or more Paying Agents for the Debentures, other than the Trustee, the Company shall cause each such Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 6.3:

(i) that it shall hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of or interest on the Debentures (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Company or by any other obligor of such Debentures) in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto;

(ii) that it shall give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Company (or by any other obligor of such Debentures) to make any payment of the principal of or interest on the Debentures when the same shall be due and payable;

(iii) that it shall, at any time during the continuance of any failure referred to in the preceding paragraph (a)(ii) above, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent; and

(iv) that it shall perform all other duties of Paying Agent as set forth in this Indenture.

(b) If the Company shall act as its own Paying Agent with respect to the Debentures, it shall on or before each due date of the principal of or interest on such Debentures, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay such principal or interest so becoming due on Debentures until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and shall promptly notify the Trustee of such action, or any failure (by it or any other obligor on such Debentures) to take such action. Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for the Debentures, it shall, prior to each due date of the principal of or interest on any Debentures, deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of this action or failure so to act.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.3 to the contrary, (i) the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section 6.3 is subject to the provisions of Section 14.3 and 14.4; and (ii) the Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same terms and conditions as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

6.4Appointment to Fill Vacancy in Office of the Trustee. The Company, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, shall appoint, in the manner provided in Section 10.12, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder.

6.5Compliance with Consolidation Provisions. The Company shall not, while any of the Debentures remain Outstanding, consolidate with, or merge into, or merge into itself, or sell or convey all or substantially all of its property to any other company unless such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance is in compliance with the provisions of ARTICLE XIII hereof.

6.7Covenants as to the Trust. For so long as the Trust Securities of the Trust remain outstanding, the Company (a) shall maintain 100% direct or indirect ownership of the Common Securities of the Trust; provided, however, that any permitted successor of the Company under this Indenture may succeed to the Company’s ownership of the Common Securities; (b) shall not voluntarily terminate, wind up or liquidate the Trust, except upon prior approval of the Federal Reserve if then so required under applicable capital guidelines, policies or regulations of the Federal Reserve; (c) shall use its reasonable efforts to cause the Trust (i) to remain a statutory trust (and to avoid involuntary termination, winding up or liquidation), except in connection with a distribution of Debentures, the redemption of all of the Trust Securities of the Trust or certain mergers, consolidations or amalgamations, each as permitted by the Trust Agreement; and (ii) to otherwise continue to be classified as a grantor trust and not as an association taxable as a corporation or partnership for United States federal income tax purposes; and (d) shall use its reasonable efforts to cause each holder of Trust Securities to be treated as owning an individual beneficial interest in the Debentures.

6.8Covenants as to Purchases. Except upon the exercise by the Company of its right to redeem the Debentures pursuant to Section 3.2 upon the occurrence and continuation of a Special Event, the Company shall not purchase any Debentures, in whole or in part, from the Trust prior to December 31, 2013.

6.9Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws. The Company shall not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performances of this Indenture, and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the extension of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

6.10Limitation on Additional Junior Indebtedness. The Company shall not, and it shall not cause or permit any Subsidiary of the Company to, incur, issue or be obligated on any Additional Junior Indebtedness, either directly or indirectly, by way of guarantee, suretyship or otherwise, other than Additional Junior Indebtedness (i) that, by its terms, is expressly stated to be either junior and subordinate or pari passu in all respects to the Debentures, and (ii) of which the Company has notified (and, if then required under the applicable guidelines of the regulating entity, has received approval from) the Federal Reserve.

6.11No Intent to Commence Extension Period. The Company has no present intention to exercise its right under Section 5.1 to defer payments of interest on the Debentures by selecting an Extension Period. The Company believes that the likelihood that it would exercise its right under Section 5.1 to defer payments of interest on the Debentures by selecting an Extension Period at any time during which the Debentures are outstanding is remote because of the restrictions that would be imposed on the Company pursuant to Sections 5.3 and 6.6 of this Indenture.

6.12Notice of Certain Events. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee and any Paying Agent of (i) any Default or Event of Default (ii) any cure or waiver of any Default or Event of Default and (iii) any default or notice of default with respect to Senior Debt.

6.13Compliance Certificate. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 45 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, a brief certificate signed by the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer of the Company, as to the signer’s knowledge of the Company’s compliance with all conditions and covenants contained in this Indenture (determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided herein).

(b) If the Company shall fail to pay such amounts set forth in Section 8.2(a) forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Company or other obligor upon the Debentures and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or other obligor upon the Debentures, wherever situated.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary or any other provisions of this Indenture, the right of any holder of the Debentures to receive payment of the principal of and interest on the Debentures, as therein provided, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Debenture (or in the case of redemption, on the redemption date), or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates or redemption date, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such holder and by accepting a Debenture hereunder it is expressly understood, intended and covenanted by the taker and holder of every Debenture with every other such taker and holder and the Trustee that no one or more holders of the Debentures shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the holders of any other of such Debentures, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all holders of the Debentures. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 8.4, each and every Debentureholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

8.5Rights and Remedies Cumulative; Delay or Omission not Waiver.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.9(b), all powers and remedies given by this ARTICLE VIII to the Trustee or to the Debentureholders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the holders of the Debentures, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture or otherwise established with respect to such Debentures.

(b) No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any holder of any of the Debentures to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 8.4, every power and remedy given by this ARTICLE VIII or by law to the Trustee or the Debentureholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Debentureholders.

8.6Control by the Debentureholders. The holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures at the time Outstanding, determined in accordance with Section 11.4, shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee; provided, however, that such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.1, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good faith shall determine that the action so directed would be unjustly prejudicial to the holders not taking part in such direction or if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken, or if a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability. The holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures at the time Outstanding affected thereby, or the holders of at least a majority in liquidation preference of the Trust Securities of the Trust at the time Outstanding affected thereby, in each case determined in accordance with

Section 11.4, may on behalf of the holders of all of the Debentures or of all of the Preferred Securities waive any past default in the performance of any of the covenants contained herein and its consequences or any past Default or Event of Default, except (i) a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any of the Debentures as and when the same shall become due by the terms of such Debentures otherwise than by acceleration (unless such default has been cured and a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest and principal due otherwise than by acceleration has been deposited with the Trustee (in accordance with Section 8.1(c); (ii) a default in the covenants contained in Section 6.7; or (iii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each Outstanding Debenture affected; provided, however, that if the Debentures are held by the Trust or a trustee of the Trust, such waiver or modification to such waiver shall not be effective until the holders of a majority in liquidation preference of Trust Securities of the Trust shall have consented to such waiver or modification to such waiver; provided further, that if the Debentures are held by the Trust or a trustee of the Trust, and if the consent of the holder of each Outstanding Debenture is required, such waiver shall not be effective until each holder of the Trust Securities of the Trust shall have consented to such waiver. Upon any such waiver, the default covered thereby shall be deemed to be cured for all purposes of this Indenture and the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Debentures shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

8.7Undertaking to Pay Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each holder of any Debentures by such holder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as the Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 8.7 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Debentureholder, or group of the Debentureholders holding more than ten percent (10%) in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debentures, or to any suit instituted by any Debentureholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on the Debentures, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Debenture or established pursuant to this Indenture.

8.8Direct Action; Right of Set-Off. In the event that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and such event is attributable to the failure of the Company to pay interest on or principal of the Debentures on an Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as applicable, then a holder of Preferred Securities may institute and prosecute a legal proceeding directly against the Company for enforcement of payment to such holder of the principal of or interest on such Debentures having a principal amount equal to the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities of such holders (a “Direct Action”). In connection with such Direct Action, the Company will have a right of set-off under this Indenture to the extent of any payment actually made by the Company to such holder of the Preferred Securities with respect to such Direct Action.

(iv) none of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it under the terms of this Indenture or adequate indemnity against such risk is not reasonably assured to it.

(a) The Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any written resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, security or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

(b) Any request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution or an instrument signed in the name of the Company by its President or any Executive Vice President and by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer thereof (unless other evidence in respect thereof is specifically prescribed herein);

(h) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder.

10.5The Trustee not Responsible for Recitals, Etc.

(a) The Recitals contained herein and in the Debentures shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same.

10.8Compensation and Reimbursement.

(a) The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, such reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust), as the Company and the Trustee may from time to time agree in writing, for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee, and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Company shall pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith.

(b) The obligations of the Company under this Section 10.8 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder. Such additional indebtedness shall be secured by a lien prior to that of the Debentures upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the holders of particular Debentures.

(c) Without prejudice to its rights hereunder, when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 7.1(iv) or (v) occurs, the expenses and compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law

10.9Reliance on Officers’ Certificate. Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.1, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering or omitting to take any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof is herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee and such certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof.

If such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 10.11, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. The Company may not, nor may any Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Company, serve as Trustee. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.11, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 10.12.

(a) The Trustee or any successor hereafter appointed, may at any time resign by giving written notice thereof to the Company and by transmitting notice of resignation by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Debentureholders, as their names and addresses appear upon the Debenture Register. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee with respect to Debentures by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within thirty (30) days after the mailing of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee with respect to Debentures, or any Debentureholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Debenture or Debentures for at least six (6) months may, subject to the provisions of Sections 10.10 and 10.11, on behalf of himself or herself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.

(b) In case at any time any one of the following shall occur:

(i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section 10.10 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Debentureholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Debenture or Debentures for at least six months; or

(ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.11 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Debentureholder; or

(iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or commence a voluntary bankruptcy proceeding, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or consented to, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation;

then, in any such case, the Company may remove the Trustee with respect to all Debentures and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of Section 10.11, unless the Trustee’s duty to resign is stayed as provided herein, any Debentureholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Debenture or Debentures for at least six months may, on behalf of that holder and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.

(c) The holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures at the time Outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company and may appoint a successor Trustee with the consent of the Company.

(d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee with respect to the Debentures pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 10.12 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 10.13.

(e) Any successor trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 10.12 may be appointed with respect to the Debentures, and at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Debentures.

10.13Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

(a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor trustee with respect to the Debentures, every successor trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights, powers, and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

(b) Upon request of any successor trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section 10.13.

(c) No successor trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this ARTICLE IX.

(d) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 10.13, the Company shall transmit notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Debentureholders, as their names and addresses appear upon the Debenture Register. If the Company fails to transmit such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be transmitted at the expense of the Company.

10.14 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any Person into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such Person shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 10.10 and eligible under the provisions of Section 10.11, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In case any Debentures shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Debentures so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Debentures.

ARTICLE XI.
CONCERNING THE DEBENTUREHOLDERS

11.1Evidence of Action by the Holders.

(a) Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the holders of at least a majority or specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action the holders of such majority or specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by such holders of Debentures in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing.

(b) If the Company shall solicit from the Debentureholders any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, the Company may, at its option, as evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Debentureholders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action may be given before or after the record date, but only the Debentureholders of record at the close of business on the record date shall be deemed to be Debentureholders for the purposes of determining whether Debentureholders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Debentures have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, and for that purpose the Outstanding Debentures shall be computed as of the record date; provided, however, that no such authorization, agreement or consent by such Debentureholders on the record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six (6) months after the record date.

11.2 Proof of Execution by the Debentureholders. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.1, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Debentureholder (such proof shall not require notarization) or such Debentureholder’s agent or proxy and proof of the holding by any Person of any of the Debentures shall be sufficient if made in the following manner:

(a) The fact and date of the execution by any such Person of any instrument may be proved in any reasonable manner acceptable to the Trustee.

(b) The ownership of Debentures shall be proved by the Debenture Register of such Debentures or by a certificate of the Debenture Registrar thereof.

(c) The Trustee may require such additional proof of any matter referred to in this Section 11.2 as it shall deem necessary.

11.3 Who May Be Deemed Owners. Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of any Debenture, the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Authenticating Agent and any Debenture Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name such Debenture shall be registered upon the books of the Company as the absolute owner of such Debenture (whether or not such Debenture shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing thereon made by anyone other than the Debenture Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and interest on such Debenture (subject to Section 2.3) and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any Paying Agent nor any Authenticating Agent nor any Debenture Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

11.4Certain Debentures Owned by Company Disregarded. In determining whether the holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of the Debentures have concurred in any direction, consent or waiver under this Indenture, the Debentures that are owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Debentures or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under common control with the Company or any other obligor on the Debentures shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination, except that (a) for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver, only Debentures that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded; and (b) for purposes of this Section 11.4, the Trust shall be deemed not to be controlled by the Company. The Debentures so owned that have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding for the purposes of this Section 11.4, if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Debentures and that the pledgee is not a Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any such other obligor. In case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee.

11.5 Actions Binding on the Future Debentureholders. At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 11.1, of the taking of any action by the holders of the majority or percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any holder of a Debenture that is shown by the evidence to be included in the Debentures the holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee, and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 11.2, revoke such action so far as concerns such Debenture. Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by the holder of any Debenture shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders and owners of such Debenture, and of any Debenture issued in exchange therefor, on registration of transfer thereof or in place thereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Debenture. Any action taken by the holders of the majority or percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures specified in this Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Company, the Trustee and the holders of all the Debentures.

The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 10.1, may receive an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this ARTICLE XII is authorized or permitted by, and conforms to, the terms of this ARTICLE XII and that it is proper for the Trustee under the provisions of this ARTICLE XII to join in the execution thereof.

16.3Surrender of the Company Powers. The Company by instrument in writing executed by appropriate authority of its Board of Directors and delivered to the Trustee may surrender any of the powers reserved to the Company, and thereupon such power so surrendered shall terminate both as to the Company, as the case may be, and as to any successor corporation.

16.6Treatment of the Debentures as Debt. It is intended that the Debentures shall be treated as indebtedness and not as equity for federal income tax purposes. The provisions of this Indenture shall be interpreted to further this intention. The Company (with respect to its separate books and records), the Trustee and, by acceptance of a Debenture, each holder of a Debenture, agree to treat the Debentures as indebtedness of the Company and not as equity for all tax (including without limitation, federal income tax) and financial accounting purposes.

16.10Assignment. The Company shall have the right at all times to assign any of its respective rights or obligations under this Indenture to a direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company, provided that, in the event of any such assignment, the Company shall remain liable for all such obligations.

Trustee’s rights under this Indenture without first instituting any legal proceedings against such Property Trustee or any other person or entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.4(a) hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and such event is attributable to the failure of the Company to pay principal or interest on the Debentures on the date such principal or interest is otherwise payable (or in the case of redemption, on the redemption date), the Company acknowledges that a holder of Preferred Securities may directly institute a proceeding for enforcement of payment to such holder of the principal of or interest on the Debentures having a principal amount equal to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities of such holder on or after the respective due date specified in the Debentures.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the Company shall have the right to setoff any payment it is otherwise required to make hereunder in respect of any Trust Securities to the extent that the Company has previously made, or is concurrently making, a payment to the holder of such Trust Securities under the Preferred Securities Guarantee or in connection with a proceeding for enforcement of payment of the principal of or interest on the Debentures directly brought by holders of any Trust Securities.

ARTICLE XVII.
SUBORDINATION OF THE DEBENTURES

The Company covenants and agrees, and each holder of the Debentures issued hereunder by such holder’s acceptance thereof likewise covenants and agrees, that all the Debentures shall be issued subject to the provisions of this ARTICLE XVII; and each holder of a Debenture, whether upon original issue or upon transfer or assignment thereof, accepts and agrees to be bound by such provisions. The payment by the Company of the principal of and interest on all the Debentures issued hereunder shall, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt, Subordinated Debt and Additional Senior Obligations of the Company (collectively, “Senior Indebtedness”) to the extent provided herein, whether outstanding at the date of this Indenture or thereafter incurred.

17.2Default on Senior Indebtedness. Upon the occurrence and any continuation of any default by the Company in the payment of principal, premium, interest or any other payment due on any Senior Indebtedness, or in the event that the maturity of any Senior Indebtedness has been accelerated because of such a default, or in the event of the commencement of a judicial proceeding with regard to such an alleged default or event of default, then, in any case, no payment shall be made by the Company with respect to the principal (including redemption payments) of or interest on the Debentures. In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment shall be received by the Trustee when such payment is prohibited by the preceding sentence of this Section 17.2, such payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be

paid over or delivered to, the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their respective representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, but only to the extent that the holders of the Senior Indebtedness (or their representative or representatives or a trustee) notify the Trustee in writing within 90 days of such payment of the amounts then due and owing on the Senior Indebtedness and only the amounts specified in such notice to the Trustee shall be paid to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness.

17.3Liquidation; Dissolution; Bankruptcy.

(a) Upon any payment by the Company or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to creditors upon any dissolution or winding-up or liquidation or reorganization of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other proceedings, all amounts due upon all Senior Indebtedness shall first be paid in full, or payment thereof provided for in money in accordance with its terms, before any payment is made by the Company on account of the principal or interest on the Debentures; and upon any such dissolution or winding-up or liquidation or reorganization, any payment by the Company, or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the holders of the Debentures or the Trustee would be entitled to receive from the Company, except for the provisions of this ARTICLE XVII, shall be paid by the Company or by any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, or by the holders of the Debentures or by the Trustee under this Indenture if received by them or it, directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the respective amounts of Senior Indebtedness held by such holders, as calculated by the Company) or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, to the extent necessary to pay such Senior Indebtedness in full, in money or money’s worth, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, before any payment or distribution is made to the holders of the Debentures or to the Trustee.

(b) In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, prohibited by the foregoing, shall be received by the Trustee before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, or provision is made for such payment in money in accordance with its terms, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of and shall be paid over or delivered to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, as calculated by the Company, for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness, as the case may be, remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay such Senior Indebtedness in full in money in accordance with its terms, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the benefit of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.

(c) For purposes of this ARTICLE XVII, the words “cash, property or securities” shall not be deemed to include shares of stock of the Company as reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment, the payment of which is subordinated at least to the extent provided in this ARTICLE XVII with respect to the Debentures to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness, as the case may be, that may at the time be outstanding, provided that (i) such Senior Indebtedness is assumed by the new corporation, if any, resulting from any such reorganization or readjustment; and (ii) the rights of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness are not, without the consent of such holders, altered by such reorganization or readjustment. The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company into, another corporation or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company following the conveyance or transfer of its property as an entirety, or substantially as an entirety, to another corporation upon the terms and conditions provided for in ARTICLE XIII shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization for the purposes of this Section 17.3 if such other corporation shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, comply with the conditions stated in ARTICLE XIII. Nothing in Section 17.2 or in this Section 17.3 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 10.8.

17.4Subrogation.

(a) Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, the rights of the holders of the Debentures shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company, as the case may be, applicable to such Senior Indebtedness until the principal of and interest on the Debentures shall be paid in full; and, for the purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness of any cash, property or securities to which the holders of the Debentures or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this ARTICLE XVII, and no payment over pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE XVII to or for the benefit of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness by holders of the Debentures or the Trustee, shall, as between the Company, its creditors (other than holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company), and the holders of the Debentures, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of such Senior Indebtedness. It is understood that the provisions of this ARTICLE XVII are and are intended solely for the purposes of defining the relative rights of the holders of the Debentures, on the one hand, and the holders of such Senior Indebtedness on the other hand.

(b) Nothing contained in this ARTICLE XVII or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Debentures is intended to or shall impair, as between the Company, its creditors (other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness), and the holders of the Debentures, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the holders of the Debentures the principal of and interest on the Debentures as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the holders of the Debentures and creditors of the Company, as the case may be, other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, as the case may be, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Trustee or the holder of any Debenture from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this ARTICLE XVII of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company, as the case may be, received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

(c) Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this ARTICLE XVII the Trustee, subject to the provisions of ARTICLE X, and the holders of the Debentures shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending, or a certificate of the receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidation trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the holders of the Debentures, for the purposes of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company, as the case may be, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this ARTICLE XVII.

17.5The Trustee to Effectuate Subordination. Each holder of Debentures by such holder’s acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on such holder’s behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this ARTICLE XVII and appoints the Trustee such holder’s attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

17.6Notice by the Company.

(a) The Company shall give prompt written notice to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of any fact known to the Company that would prohibit the making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee in respect of the Debentures pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE XVII. Notwithstanding the provisions of this ARTICLE XVII or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee in respect of the Debentures pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE XVII, unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the Company or a holder or holders of Senior Indebtedness or from any trustee therefor; and before the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 10.1, shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided, however, that if the Trustee shall not have received the notice provided for in this Section 17.6 at least two Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any money may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of or interest on any Debenture), then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such money and to apply the same to the purposes for which they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary that may be received by it within two Business Days prior to such date.

(b) The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 10.1, shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing himself or herself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee on behalf of such holder) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of such Senior Indebtedness or a trustee on behalf of any such holder or holders. In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of such Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this ARTICLE XVII, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of such Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this ARTICLE XVII, and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment.

17.7Rights of the Trustee; Holders of the Senior Indebtedness.

(a) The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this ARTICLE XVII in respect of any Senior Indebtedness at any time held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness, and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. The Trustee’s right to compensation and reimbursement of expenses as set forth in Section 10.8 shall not be subject to the subordination provisions of this ARTICLE XVII.

(b) With respect to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants and obligations as are specifically set forth in this ARTICLE XVII, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness and, subject to the provisions of Section 10.1, the Trustee shall not be liable to any holder of such Senior Indebtedness if it shall pay over or deliver to holders of Debentures, the Company or any other Person money or assets to which any holder of such Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this ARTICLE XVII or otherwise.

17.8Subordination May not Be Impaired.

(a) No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof that any such holder may have or otherwise be charged with.

(b) Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, the holders of Senior Indebtedness may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the holders of the Debentures, without incurring responsibility to the holders of the Debentures and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this ARTICLE XVII or the obligations hereunder of the holders of the Debentures to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, do any one or more of the following: (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, such Senior Indebtedness, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner such Senior Indebtedness or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which such Senior Indebtedness is outstanding; (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing such Senior Indebtedness; (iii) release any Person liable in any manner for the collection of such Senior Indebtedness; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Company and any other Person.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Indenture to be duly executed all as of the day and year first above written.

TOMPKINS FINANCIAL CORPORATION
SUBORDINATED DEBENTURE
DUE 2039

Tompkins Financial Corporation, a New York corporation (the “Company,” which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Wilmington Trust Company, as Property Trustee for Tompkins Capital Trust I, or registered assigns, the principal sum of $15,480,000 on March 31, 2039 (the “Stated Maturity”), and to pay interest on said principal sum from April 10, 2009, or from the most recent interest payment date (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”) to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, quarterly (subject to deferral as set forth herein) in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year commencing June 15, 2009, at the rate of 7.00% per annum until the principal hereof shall have become due and payable, and on any overdue principal and (without duplication and to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) on any overdue installment of interest at the same rate per annum compounded quarterly. The amount of interest payable on any Interest Payment Date shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The amount of interest 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. In the event that any date on which interest is payable on this Debenture is not a business day, then payment of interest payable on such date shall be made on the next succeeding day that is a business day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) except that, if such business day is in the next succeeding calendar year, payment of such interest will be made on the immediately preceding business day, in each case, with the same force and effect as if made on such date. The interest installment so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the person in whose name this Debenture (or one or more Predecessor Debentures, as defined in said Indenture) is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such interest installment, which shall be the close of business on the business day next preceding such Interest Payment Date unless otherwise provided in the Indenture. Any such interest installment not punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered holders on such regular record date and may be paid to the Person in whose name this Debenture (or one or more Predecessor Debentures) is registered at the close of business on a special record date to be fixed by the Trustee for the payment of such defaulted interest, notice thereof shall be fixed by the Trustee for the payment of such defaulted interest, notice thereof shall be given to the registered holders of the Debentures not less than 10 days prior to such special record date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange or quotation system on or in which the Debentures may be listed or quoted, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. The principal of and the interest on this Debenture shall be payable at the office or agency of the Trustee maintained for that purpose in any coin or currency of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that payment of interest may be made at the option of the Company by check mailed to the registered holder at such address as shall appear in the Debenture Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the holder of this Debenture is the Property Trustee, the payment of the principal of and interest on this Debenture shall be made at such place and to such account as may be designated by the Trustee.

The Stated Maturity may be shortened at any time by the Company to any date not earlier than March 31, 2014, subject to the Company having received prior approval of the Federal Reserve if then required under applicable capital guidelines, policies or regulations of the Federal Reserve.

The indebtedness evidenced by this Debenture is, to the extent provided in the Indenture, subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the Indenture). This Debenture is issued subject to the provisions of the Indenture with respect thereto. Each holder of this Debenture, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions; (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee on his or her behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or effectuate the subordination so provided; and (c) appoints the Trustee his or her attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. Each holder hereof, by his or her acceptance hereof, hereby waives all notice of the acceptance of the subordination provisions contained herein and in the Indenture by each holder of Senior Indebtedness, whether now outstanding or hereafter incurred, and waives reliance by each such holder upon said provisions.

This Debenture shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until the Certificate of Authentication hereon shall have been signed by or on behalf of the Trustee.

The provisions of this Debenture are continued on the reverse side hereof and such continued provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as though fully set forth at this place.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be executed.

SUBORDINATED DEBENTURE DUE 2039

(CONTINUED)

This Debenture is one of the subordinated debentures of the Company (herein sometimes referred to as the “Debentures”), all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of April 10, 2009 (the “Indenture”) duly executed and delivered between the Company and Wilmington Trust Company, as Trustee (the “Trustee”), to which Indenture reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the holders of the Debentures. The Debentures are limited in aggregate principal amount as specified in the Indenture.

Because of the occurrence and continuation of a Special Event (as defined in the Indenture), in certain circumstances, this Debenture may become due and payable at the principal amount together with any interest accrued thereon (the “Redemption Price”). The Redemption Price shall be paid prior to 12:00 noon Eastern Standard Time, on the date of such redemption or at such earlier time as the Company determines. The Company shall have the right as set forth in the Indenture to redeem this Debenture at the option of the Company, without premium or penalty, in whole or in part at any time on or after March 31, 2014 (an “Optional Redemption”), or at any time in certain circumstances upon the occurrence of a Special Event, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount hereof plus any accrued but unpaid interest hereon, to the date of such redemption. Any redemption pursuant to this paragraph shall be made upon not less than thirty (30) days’ or more than sixty (60) days’ notice, at the Redemption Price. The Redemption Price shall be paid at the time and in the manner provided therefor in the Indenture. If the Debentures are only partially redeemed by the Company pursuant to an Optional Redemption, the Debentures shall be redeemed pro rata or by lot or by any other method utilized by the Trustee as described in the Indenture. In the event of an Optional Redemption of this Debenture in part only, a new Debenture or Debentures for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

In case an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of all of the Debentures may be declared, and upon such declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.

The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures at the time Outstanding (as defined in the Indenture), to execute supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of the Debentures; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, except as provided in the Indenture, (i) extend the fixed maturity of the Debentures, reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon without the consent of the holder of each Debenture so affected thereby; or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the Debentures, the holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holder of each Debenture then Outstanding and so affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures at the time Outstanding, on behalf of all of the holders of the Debentures, to waive any past default in the performance of any of the covenants contained in the Indenture, or established pursuant to the Indenture, and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any of the Debentures. Any such consent or waiver by the registered holder of this Debenture (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders and owners of this Debenture and of any Debenture issued in exchange herefor or in place hereof (whether by registration of transfer or otherwise), irrespective of whether or not any notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Debenture.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Debenture or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal and interest on this Debenture at the time and place and at the rate and in the manner herein prescribed.

The Company, as further described in the Indenture, shall have the right at any time during the term of the Debentures and from time to time to defer payments of interest by extending the interest payment period of such Debentures for up to twenty (20) consecutive quarters (each, an “Extension Period”), at the end of which period the Company shall pay all interest then accrued (together with interest thereon at the rate specified for the Debentures to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law). Before the termination of any such Extension Period, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company may further extend such Extension Period, provided that such Extension Period together with all such further extensions thereof shall not exceed twenty (20) consecutive quarters, extend beyond March 31, 2039, or end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date. At the termination of any such Extension Period and upon the payment of all Deferred Payments then due, the Company may commence a new Extension Period.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Debenture is transferable by the registered holder hereof on the Debenture Register (as defined in the Indenture) of the Company, upon surrender of this Debenture for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Trustee accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company or the Trustee duly executed by the registered holder hereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Debentures of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge shall be made for any such transfer, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in relation thereto.

Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of this Debenture, the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent (as defined in the Indenture) and the Debenture Registrar may deem and treat the registered holder hereof as the absolute owner hereof (whether or not this Debenture shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing hereon made by anyone other than the Debenture Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal hereof and interest due hereon and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any Paying Agent nor any Debenture Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or the interest on this Debenture, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture, against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, past, present or future, as such, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issuance hereof, expressly waived and released.

The Debentures are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.

All terms used in this Debenture that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
