3. Article V of the Declaration shall be entitled “Distributions; Exchanges” and it shall amended by adding the following as Section 5.2:
SECTION 5.2 Exchanges.
(a) If at any time the Sponsor or any of its Affiliates (in any such case, a “Sponsor Affiliated Holder”) is the Owner or Holder of any Capital Securities, such Sponsor Affiliated Holder shall have the right to deliver to the Institutional Trustee all or such portion of its Capital Securities as it elects and, subject to the terms of the Indenture, receive, in exchange therefor, a Like Amount of Debentures (such an exchange being referred to herein as an “Exchange”). Such election (i) shall be exercisable by such Sponsor Affiliated Holder, and shall be effective, on any Business Day, provided that such Business Day is not a record date relating to a Distribution or any date falling between a record date and a Distribution Payment Date on which the related Distribution is payable, by such Sponsor Affiliated Holder delivering to the Institutional Trustee (A) a written notice of such election specifying the Liquidation Amount of Capital Securities with respect to which such election is being made and the date on which such Exchange shall occur, which date shall be not less than three (3) Business Days after the date of receipt by the Institutional Trustee of such election notice and (B) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date on which such Exchange is to occur, the registration instructions and the documentation, if any, required pursuant to the Indenture to enable the Indenture Trustee to issue the requested Like Amount of Debentures, and (ii) shall be conditioned upon such Sponsor Affiliated Holder having delivered or caused to be delivered to the Institutional Trustee or its designee the Capital Securities that are the subject of such election by 10:00 a.m. New York time, on the date on which such Exchange is to occur. After the Exchange, such Capital Securities shall be cancelled and will no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights of the Sponsor Affiliated Holder with respect to such Capital Securities will cease. So long as such Capital Securities are Book-Entry Capital Securities, the delivery and the cancellation of such Capital Securities pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall be made in accordance with the customary procedures for the Depositary for the Capital Securities.
2
(b) In the case of an Exchange described in Section 5.2(a), the Institutional Trustee on behalf of the Trust will, on the date of such Exchange, exchange Debentures having a principal amount equal to a proportional amount of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the outstanding Common Securities, based on the ratio of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities exchanged pursuant to Section 5.2(a) divided by the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities outstanding immediately prior to such Exchange, for such proportional amount of Common Securities held by the Sponsor (which contemporaneously shall be canceled and no longer be deemed to be outstanding); provided, that the Sponsor delivers or causes to be delivered to the Institutional Trustee or its designee the required amount of Common Securities to be exchanged by 10:00 a.m. New York time, on the date on which such Exchange is to occur.
