The definitive Subordinated Securities and each Global Subordinated Security may be printed, lithographed or fully or partly engraved or produced in any other manner, all as determined by the officers executing such Subordinated Securities, as evidenced by their execution thereof.

DENOMINATIONS; PAYMENT OF INTEREST ON SUBORDINATED SECURITIES. The Subordinated Securities of each Series may be issued as fully registered Subordinated Securities in denominations all as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 2.01. In the absence of such provisions with respect to the Subordinated Securities of any Series, the Subordinated Securities of such Series (other than any Global Subordinated Securities) shall be issued in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. If the Subordinated Securities of any Series shall bear interest, each Subordinated Security of such Series shall bear interest from the applicable date at the rate per annum specified in the Certified Resolution or Supplemental Subordinated Indenture with respect to such Series of Subordinated Securities. Unless otherwise specified in the Certified Resolution or Supplemental Subordinated Indenture with respect to the Subordinated Securities of any Series, interest on the Subordinated Securities of such Series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Such interest shall be payable on the Interest Payment Dates specified in the Certified Resolution or Supplemental Subordinated Indenture with respect to such Series of Subordinated Securities. The Person in whose name any Subordinated Security is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date for the Series of which such Subordinated Security is a part shall be entitled to receive the interest payable thereon on such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the cancellation of such Subordinated Security upon any transfer or exchange thereof subsequent to such Record Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date unless such Subordinated Security shall have been called for redemption on a Redemption Date which is subsequent to such Record Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date or unless the Company shall default in the payment of interest due on such Interest Payment Date on any Subordinated Security of such Series. Any interest on any Subordinated Security of any Series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called "Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on the relevant Record Date solely by virtue of such Holder having been such Holder; and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in subsection A or B below: A. The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Subordinated Securities of any Series to the Persons in whose names such Subordinated Securities are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Subordinated Security and the date of the proposed payment (which date shall be such as will enable the Trustee to comply with the next sentence hereof), and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this subsection provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a special record date (the "Special Record Date") for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 nor less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of a Subordinated Security of such Series at such Holder's address as it appears in the Subordinated Security Register not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed 10 20 payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Subordinated Securities of such Series are registered on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following subsection B. B. The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Subordinated Securities of any Series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Subordinated Securities may be listed and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this subsection, such payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03, each Subordinated Security delivered under this Subordinated Indenture upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Subordinated Security shall carry all the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Subordinated Security and each such Subordinated Security shall bear interest from such date, such that neither gain nor loss in interest shall result from such transfer, exchange or substitution. SECTION 2.04. EXECUTION OF SUBORDINATED SECURITIES. The Subordinated Securities shall be executed manually or in facsimile, by an officer and the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company under its corporate seal, which may be affixed thereto or printed, engraved or otherwise reproduced thereon, by facsimile or otherwise. Only such Subordinated Securities as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form recited herein, executed by the Trustee manually by an authorized officer, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Subordinated Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate of authentication of the Trustee upon any Subordinated Security executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Subordinated Security so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits of this Subordinated Indenture. Typographical or other errors or defects in the seal or facsimile signature on any Subordinated Security or in the text thereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such Subordinated Security if it has been duly authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Subordinated Securities (manually or in facsimile) shall cease to be such officer before the Subordinated Securities so signed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, or disposed of by the Company, such Subordinated Securities nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the Person who signed such Subordinated Securities had not ceased to be such officer of the Company. Also, any Subordinated Security may be signed on behalf of the Company by such Persons as on the actual date of execution of such Subordinated Security shall be the proper officers of the Company, although at the date of the execution of this Subordinated Indenture or on the nominal date of such Subordinated Security any such Person was not such officer. SECTION 2.05. REGISTRATION, TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE OF SUBORDINATED SECURITIES. Except as specifically otherwise provided herein with respect to Global Subordinated Securities, Subordinated Securities of any Series may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Subordinated Securities of the same Series of other authorized denominations. Subordinated Securities to be exchanged shall be surrendered at the offices or agencies to be maintained in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.04 and the Company shall execute the Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor the Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities which the Subordinated Securityholder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive. 11 21 The Company shall cause the Trustee to keep or cause to be kept, at one or more of the offices or agencies to be maintained by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.04 with respect to the Subordinated Securities of each Series, the Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of the Subordinated Securities of such Series and the transfer of Subordinated Securities of such Series as in this Article provided. The Register shall be in written form or in any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. At all reasonable times the Register shall be open for inspection by the Trustee and any registrar of the Subordinated Securities of such Series other than the Trustee. Upon due presentment for transfer of any Subordinated Security of any Series at the offices or agencies of the Company to be maintained in accordance with Section 4.04 with respect to the Subordinated Securities of such Series, the Company shall execute a new Subordinated Security and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities of the same Series for a like aggregate principal amount of authorized denominations. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.05, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Subordinated Securities in definitive form, a Global Subordinated Security representing all or a portion of the Subordinated Securities of a Series may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository for such Series to a nominee of such Depository or by a nominee of such Depository to such Depository or another nominee of such Depository or by such Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository for such Series or a nominee of such successor Depository. All Subordinated Securities of any Series presented or surrendered for exchange, transfer, redemption, conversion or payment shall, if so required by the Company or any registrar of the Subordinated Securities of such Series, be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company and such registrar, duly executed by the registered Holder or by such Person's attorney duly authorized in writing. No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Subordinated Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto. The Company shall not be required to exchange or transfer (a) any Subordinated Securities of any Series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the first publication or the mailing (if there is no publication) of a notice of redemption of Subordinated Securities of such Series and ending at the close of business on the day of such publication or mailing or (b) any Subordinated Securities called or selected for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of Subordinated Securities called for redemption in part, the portion thereof not so called for redemption in whole or in part or during a period beginning at the opening of business on any Record Date for such Series and ending at the close of business on the relevant Interest Payment Date therefor. SECTION 2.06. TEMPORARY SUBORDINATED SECURITIES. Pending the preparation of definitive Subordinated Securities of any Series, the Company may execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver temporary Subordinated Securities of such Series which are printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise produced, in any denomination substantially of the tenor of the definitive Subordinated Securities in lieu of which they are issued, in registered form and with such appropriate omissions, insertions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Subordinated Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Subordinated Securities. Every such temporary Subordinated Security shall be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the definitive Subordinated Securities. If temporary Subordinated Securities are issued, the Company will cause definitive Subordinated Securities to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Subordinated Securities, the temporary Subordinated Securities of 12 22 such Series shall be exchangeable for definitive Subordinated Securities upon surrender of the temporary Subordinated Securities without charge to the Holder at the offices or agencies to be maintained by the Trustee as provided in Section 4.04 with respect to the Subordinated Securities of such Series. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Subordinated Securities the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Subordinated Securities an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Subordinated Securities of such Series. Until so exchanged, the temporary Subordinated Securities of any Series shall in all respects be entitled to the benefits of this Subordinated Indenture and interest thereon, when and as payable, shall be paid to the registered owners thereof. SECTION 2.07. MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN SUBORDINATED SECURITIES. If (I) any mutilated Subordinated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Subordinated Security and (ii) there is delivered to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Subordinated Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Subordinated Security, a new Subordinated Security of the same Series and of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously Outstanding. In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Subordinated Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Subordinated Security, pay such Subordinated Security. Upon the issuance of any new Subordinated Security under this Section 2.07, 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 connected therewith. Every new Subordinated Security issued pursuant to this Section 2.07 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Subordinated Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Subordinated Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the security and benefits of this Subordinated Indenture equally and ratably with all other Outstanding Subordinated Securities of such Series. The provisions of this Section 2.07 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Subordinated Securities. SECTION 2.08. CANCELLATION AND DESTRUCTION OF SURRENDERED SUBORDINATED SECURITIES. All Subordinated Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, transfer, conversion or exchange shall, if surrendered to the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or of the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee, and the same, together with Subordinated Securities surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, shall be canceled by it and thereafter disposed of by it as directed by the Company, and no Subordinated Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Subordinated Indenture. The Trustee shall destroy canceled Subordinated Securities and deliver a certificate of destruction thereof to the Company unless by an Officer's Certificate of the Company, the Company shall direct that canceled Subordinated Securities be returned to it. If the Company shall purchase or otherwise acquire any of the Subordinated Securities, however, such purchase or acquisition shall not operate as a payment, redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Subordinated Securities unless and until the Company, at its option shall deliver or surrender the same to the Trustee for cancellation. 13 23 SECTION 2.09. SUBORDINATED SECURITIES IN GLOBAL FORM; DEPOSITORIES. (a) Each Global Subordinated Security shall: (i) represent and be denominated in an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Subordinated Securities of the Series to be represented by such Global Subordinated Security, (ii) be registered in the name of either the Depository for such Global Subordinated Security or the nominee of such Depository, (iii) be delivered by the Trustee to such Depository or pursuant to such Depository's written instruction and (iv) bear a legend substantially to the following effect: "Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Subordinated Securities in definitive form, this Global Subordinated Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of any successor Depository." The notation of the record owner's interest in such Global Subordinated Security upon the original issuance thereof shall be deemed to be delivery in connection with the original issuance of each beneficial owner's interest in such Global Subordinated Security. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company and the Trustee shall have no responsibility, obligation or liability with respect to: (x) the maintenance, review or accuracy of the records of the Depository or of any of its participating organizations with respect to any ownership interest in or payments with respect to such Global Subordinated Security, (y) any communication with or delivery of any notice (including notices of redemption) with respect to the Series of Subordinated Securities represented by the Global Subordinated Security to any Person having any ownership interest in such Global Subordinated Security or to any of the Depository's participating organizations or (z) any payment made on account of any beneficial ownership interest in such Global Subordinated Security. (b) If any Subordinated Security of a Series is issuable in the form of a Global Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities, each such Global Subordinated Security may provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of Outstanding Subordinated Securities of such Series from time to time endorsed thereon and may also provide that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Subordinated Securities of such Series represented thereby may from time to time be reduced to reflect exchanges. Any endorsement of a Global Subordinated Security to reflect the amount of Outstanding Subordinated Securities of a Series represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee and in such manner as shall be specified on such Global Subordinated Security. Any instructions by the Company with respect to a Global Subordinated Security, after its initial issuance, shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 13.03 of this Subordinated Indenture. (c) Each Depository designated pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.01 of this Subordinated Indenture for a Global Subordinated Security must, at the time of its designation and at all times while it serves as a depositary, be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and any other applicable statute or regulation. If at any time the Depository for the Subordinated Securities of a Series notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for the Subordinated Securities of such Series or if at any time the Depository for the Subordinated Securities of such Series shall no longer be eligible under this Section 2.09, the Company shall appoint a successor Depository with respect to the Subordinated Securities of such Series. If a successor Depository for the Subordinated Securities of such Series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or learns of such ineligibility, the Company shall execute and the Company shall direct the Trustee to authenticate and deliver definitive Subordinated Securities of such Series in authorized denominations in exchange for the Global Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities. Upon receipt of such direction, the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver the definitive Subordinated Securities of such Series in the same aggregate principal amount as the Global Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities representing such Series in exchange for such Global Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities, in accordance with the provisions of subsection (e) of this Section 2.09, without any further corporate action by the Company. 14 24 (d) The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Subordinated Securities of any Series issued in the form of one or more Global Subordinated Securities shall no longer be represented by such Global Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities. In such event, the Company will execute and upon receipt of a written order from the Company, the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver Subordinated Securities of such Series in definitive form and in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities representing such Series in exchange for such Global Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities, in accordance with the provisions of subsection (e) of this Section 2.09 without any further corporate action by the Company. (e) Upon any exchange hereunder of the Global Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities for Subordinated Securities in definitive form, such Global Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities shall be canceled by the Trustee. Subordinated Securities issued hereunder in exchange for the Global Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depository for such Global Subordinated Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such definitive Subordinated Securities in exchange for the Global Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities to the persons in whose name such definitive Subordinated Securities have been registered in accordance with the directions of the Depository. ARTICLE THREE REDEMPTION OF SUBORDINATED SECURITIES SECTION 3.01. REDEMPTION OF SUBORDINATED SECURITIES. Subordinated Securities of any Series may be made subject to redemption prior to their Stated Maturity, as a whole or in part, at such time or times, upon payment of the principal amount thereof plus such premium or premiums, if any, as shall be set forth in the resolution of the Board of Directors or the Supplemental Subordinated Indenture relating to such Series. SECTION 3.02. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. In all cases other than redemption at the option of the Holders of Subordinated Securities, notice of redemption shall be given by mail, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Person in whose name any Subordinated Security called for redemption is registered on the Register as of the date of such notice, but neither a failure to give notice by mail nor any defect in any notice so mailed shall affect the validity of the proceedings for such redemption. Each notice of redemption shall state the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price, the place of redemption, the principal amount and, if less than all, the distinctive numbers of the Subordinated Securities to be redeemed and shall also state that the interest on the Subordinated Securities in such notice designated for redemption shall cease to accrue from and after such Redemption Date. Notice of redemption of Subordinated Securities may be given by the Company or, at the option of the Company, by the Trustee on behalf of the Company. Upon receipt of any direction to give notice, the Trustee shall immediately give such notice. The Trustee may rely upon such direction that all conditions precedent to the giving of such direction have been complied with or done. SECTION 3.03. SELECTION OF SUBORDINATED SECURITIES FOR REDEMPTION. Whenever provision is made for the redemption of any Series of Subordinated Securities or portion thereof and less than all of the Subordinated Securities of such Series or portion thereof are called for redemption, the Trustee shall select the Subordinated Securities to be redeemed, from the Outstanding Subordinated Securities of such Series or 15 25 portion thereof not previously called for redemption, in any manner which the Trustee deems fair and appropriate. For the purpose of any such selection, the Trustee shall assign a separate number for each $1,000 principal amount of each Subordinated Security of a denomination of more than $1,000 except that if the Subordinated Securities of any Series are denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the Trustee shall assign a separate number for each principal amount equal to the minimum denomination of each Subordinated Security of such Series of a denomination greater than such minimum denomination. SECTION 3.04. PARTIAL REDEMPTION OF REGISTERED SUBORDINATED SECURITY. Upon surrender of any registered Subordinated Security (including any Global Subordinated Security) to be redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the registered owner thereof, without service charge, a new Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities (or in the case of a Global Subordinated Security, a new Global Subordinated Security) of the same Series and maturity and of authorized denomination or denominations as requested by such registered owners, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Subordinated Security so surrendered. SECTION 3.05. EFFECT OF REDEMPTION. If notice of redemption shall have been duly given as provided in Section 3.02, the Subordinated Securities or portions of Subordinated Securities specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the place or places stated in such notice at the Redemption Price specified in such notice, and on and after such Redemption Date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Subordinated Securities at the applicable Redemption Price) such Subordinated Securities or portions of Subordinated Securities shall cease to bear interest, and such Subordinated Securities shall cease from and after the Redemption Date to be entitled to any benefit or security under this Subordinated Indenture, and the Holders thereof shall have no right in respect of such Subordinated Securities except the right to receive the Redemption Price thereof and any unpaid interest accrued to the Redemption Date. Upon presentation and surrender of such Subordinated Securities at said place of payment in said notice specified, the said Subordinated Securities or portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable Redemption Price, together with any interest accrued to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that any regular payment of interest becoming due on any Subordinated Securities on the Redemption Date shall be payable to the registered owners of such Subordinated Securities as of the Relevant Record Date as provided in Article Two hereof. Upon presentation of any Subordinated Security which is redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute a new Subordinated Security and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver at the expense of the Company a new Subordinated Security of the same Series of authorized denomination in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Subordinated Security so presented. If any Subordinated Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal thereof shall, to the extent permitted by law, bear interest from the date fixed for redemption at the rate borne by the Subordinated Security, or, in the case of a Subordinated Security which does not bear interest, at the rate of interest set forth therefor in the Subordinated Security in either case, until paid. 16 26 ARTICLE FOUR PARTICULAR COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY SECTION 4.01. PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL OF AND INTEREST ON SUBORDINATED SECURITIES. The Company covenants that it will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of and any interest and premium on each of the Subordinated Securities in accordance with the terms of the Subordinated Securities and this Subordinated Indenture. Except with respect to any Global Subordinated Securities, if the Subordinated Securities of any Series bear interest, each installment of interest on the Subordinated Securities of such Series may, at the option of the Company, be paid by mailing a check or checks for such interest payable to the Person entitled thereto pursuant to Section 2.03 to the address of such Person as it appears on the Register of the Subordinated Securities of such Series on the applicable Record Date for such interest payment. SECTION 4.02. CORPORATE EXISTENCE OF THE COMPANY; CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, SALE OR TRANSFER. The Company covenants that so long as any of the Subordinated Securities are Outstanding, it will maintain its existence, will not dissolve, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets and will not consolidate with or merge into another entity or permit one or more other entities to consolidate with or merge into it; provided that the Company may, without violating the covenants in this Section 4.02 contained, consolidate with or merge into another entity or permit one or more other entities to consolidate with or merge into it, or sell or otherwise transfer to another entity all or substantially all of its assets as an entirety and thereafter dissolve, if the surviving, resulting or transferee entity, as the case may be, (I) shall be organized and existing under the laws of one of the States of the United States of America, (ii) assumes, if such entity is not the Company, all of the obligations of the Company hereunder and (iii) is not, after such transaction, otherwise in default under any provisions hereof. 17 27 SECTION 4.03. LIMITATIONS ON DIVIDENDS. The provisions of this Section shall apply so long as Subordinated Securities of any Series are outstanding, except to the extent that the provisions contained in this Section 4.03 are expressly made inapplicable to the Subordinated Securities of a particular Series, as specified in the terms of such Series in accordance with Section 2.01 hereof at the time of issuance of such series. (1) If a particular Series of Subordinated Notes are issued to one or more trusts established under the Delaware Trust Act in connection with the issuance of securities by such trust and (a) there shall have occurred any Event of Default or (b) the Company shall be in default with respect to its payment of any obligation with respect to any guarantee issued by the Company with respect to securities issued by such Trust, then (I) the Company shall not declare or pay any dividend on, make any distributions with respect to, or redeem, purchase or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of its capital stock and (ii) the Company shall not make any payment of interest, principal or any premium on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities issued by the Company which rank pari passu with or junior to such Series of Subordinated Notes. (2) If a particular Series of Subordinated Securities are issued to one or more trusts established under the Delaware Trust Act in connection with the issuance of securities by such trust and the Company shall have exercised its right to defer payments of interest on such Series of Subordinated Securities by extending the Interest Payment Dated in accordance with the provisions of the Supplemental Indenture establishing the terms of such Series of Subordinated Securities or any extension thereof shall be continuing, then (a) the Company shall not declare or pay any dividend on, make any distributions with respect to, or redeem, purchase or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of its capital stock and (b) the Company shall not make any payment of interest, principal or any premium on or repay or repurchase or redeem any debt securities issued by the Company which rank pari passu with such Series of Subordinated Securities. (3) The restrictions set forth in Section 4.03(1)(a) and (2)(a) do not apply to any stock dividend paid by the Company where the dividend stock is of the same class as that of the stock held by the holder receiving the dividend. SECTION 4.04. MAINTENANCE OF OFFICES OR AGENCIES FOR TRANSFER, REGISTRATION, EXCHANGE AND PAYMENT OF SUBORDINATED SECURITIES. So long as any of the Subordinated Securities shall remain Outstanding, the Company covenants that it will cause the Trustee to maintain an office or agency in either The City of [New York, State of New York], or the City and County of San Francisco, State of California, where the Subordinated Securities may be presented for registration, exchange and transfer as in this Subordinated Indenture provided, and where notices and demands to or upon the Trustee in respect of the Subordinated Securities or of this Subordinated Indenture may be served, and where the Subordinated Securities may be presented for payment. In case the Trustee shall fail to maintain any such office or agency, presentations and demands may be made and notices may be served at the principal office of the Company. In addition, the Company may from time to time constitute and appoint one or more other offices or agencies for such purposes with respect to Subordinated Securities of any Series, and one or more paying agents for the payment of Subordinated Securities of any Series, in such cities or in 18 28 one or more other cities, and may from time to time rescind such appointments, as the Company may deem desirable or expedient, and as to which the Company has notified the Trustee. SECTION 4.05. APPOINTMENT TO FILL A VACANCY IN THE OFFICE OF TRUSTEE. The Company, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, covenants that it will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 7.10, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee with respect to the Outstanding Subordinated Securities. SECTION 4.06. DUTIES OF PAYING AGENT. (a) If the Company shall appoint a Paying Agent other than the Trustee with respect to Subordinated Securities of any Series, it will cause 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 4.06 and Section 11.05, (1) that it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of or interest, if any, on the Subordinated Securities of such Series (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Company or by any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities of such Series) in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Subordinated Securities entitled to such principal or interest and will notify the Trustee of the receipt of sums to be so held, (2) that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Company (or by any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities of such Series) to make any payment of the principal of or interest on the Subordinated Securities of such Series when the same shall be due and payable, and (3) that it will at any time during the continuance of any Event of Default, upon the written request of the Trustee, deliver to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by it. (b) Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents with respect to the Subordinated Securities of any Series, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of or any interest on the Subordinated Securities of such Series, deposit with a Paying Agent of such Series a sum sufficient to pay the principal or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of Subordinated Securities entitled to such principal or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. (c) Anything in this Section 4.06 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may, at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge of this Subordinated Indenture with respect to one or more or all Series of Subordinated Securities hereunder, or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held in trust for such Series by it, or any Paying Agent hereunder, as required by this Section 4.06, and such sums are to be held by the Trustee upon the trust herein contained. SECTION 4.07. NOTICE OF DEFAULT. The Company covenants that, as soon as is practicable, the Company will furnish the Trustee notice of any event which is an Event of Default or which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default which has occurred and is continuing on the date of such notice, which notice shall set forth the nature of such event and the action which the Company proposes to take with respect thereto. ARTICLE FIVE SUBORDINATED SECURITYHOLDERS' LISTS AND REPORTS 19 29 BY THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE SECTION 5.01. COMPANY TO FURNISH TRUSTEE INFORMATION AS TO THE NAMES AND ADDRESSES OF SUBORDINATED SECURITYHOLDERS. The Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee, not less than 45 days nor more than 60 days after each date (month and day) specified as an Interest Payment Date for the Subordinated Securities of the first Series issued under this Subordinated Indenture (whether or not any Subordinated Securities of that Series are then Outstanding), but in no event less frequently than semiannually, and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after receipt by the Company of any such request, a list in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require containing all the information in the possession or control of the Company, or any of its Paying Agents other than the Trustee, as to the names and addresses of the Holders of Subordinated Securities, obtained since the date as of which the next previous list, if any, was furnished, excluding from any such list the names and addresses received by the Trustee in its capacity as registrar (if so acting). Any such list may be dated as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such information is furnished and need not include information received after such date. SECTION 5.02. PRESERVATION OF INFORMATION; COMMUNICATION TO SUBORDINATED SECURITYHOLDERS. (a) The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, the names and addresses of the Holders of Subordinated Securities of each Series (1) contained in the most recent list furnished to it as provided in Section 5.01, (2) received by the Trustee in the capacity of Paying Agent or registrar (if so acting) and (3) filed with the Trustee within the two preceding years as provided for in Section 5.04(c). The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 5.01 upon receipt of a new list so furnished. (b) If three or more Holders of Subordinated Securities (hereinafter referred to as "applicants") apply in writing to the Trustee, and furnish to the Trustee reasonable proof that each such applicant has owned a Subordinated Security for a period of at least six months preceding the date of such application, and such application states that the applicants desire to communicate with other Holders of Subordinated Securities of any Series or with Holders of all Subordinated Securities with respect to their rights under this Subordinated Indenture or under such Subordinated Securities, and is accompanied by a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which such applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of such application, at its election, either: (1) afford such applicants access to the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 5.02 or (2) inform such applicants as to the approximate number of Holders of Subordinated Securities of such Series or all Subordinated Securities, as the case may be, whose names and addresses appear in the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 5.02, and as to the approximate cost of mailing to such Subordinated Securityholders the form of proxy or other communications, if any, specified in such application. If the Trustee shall elect not to afford such applicants access to such information, the Trustee shall, upon the written request of such applicants, mail to each of the Holders of Subordinated Securities of such Series, or all Subordinated Securities, as the case may be, whose name and address appear in the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 5.02, a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which is specified in such request, with reasonable promptness after a tender to the Trustee of the material to be mailed and of payment, or provision for the payment, of the reasonable expenses of mailing, unless within five days after such tender, the Trustee shall mail to such applicants and file with the Commission, together with a copy of the material 20 30 to be mailed, a written statement to the effect that, in the opinion of the Trustee, such mailing would be contrary to the best interests of the Holders of Subordinated Securities of such Series or all Subordinated Securities, as the case may be, or would be in violation of applicable law. Such written statement shall specify the basis of such opinion. If the Commission, after opportunity for a hearing upon the objections specified in the written statement so filed, shall enter an order refusing to sustain any of such objections or if, after the entry of an order sustaining one or more of such objections, the Commission shall find, after notice and opportunity for hearing, that all the objections so sustained have been met and shall enter an order so declaring, the Trustee shall mail copies of such material to all such Subordinated Securityholders with reasonable promptness after the entry of such order and the renewal of such tender; otherwise the Trustee shall be relieved of any obligation or duty to such applicants respecting their application. (c) Each and every Holder of the Subordinated Securities, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Company and the Trustee that neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any Paying Agent nor any registrar shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Holders of Subordinated Securities in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section 5.02, regardless of the source from which such information was derived, and that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of mailing any material pursuant to a request made under said subsection (b).

ARTICLE SIX REMEDIES OF THE TRUSTEE AND SUBORDINATED SECURITYHOLDERS ON EVENT OF DEFAULT SECTION 6.01. EVENTS OF DEFAULT; ACCELERATION, WAIVER OF DEFAULT AND RESTORATION OF POSITION AND RIGHTS. The term "Event of Default" whenever used herein with respect to any particular Series of Subordinated Securities shall mean any one of the following events: (a) default in the payment of any installment of interest on any Subordinated Security of such Series as and when the same shall become due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 90 days provided however, that an extension of one or more Interest Payment Dates by the Company in accordance with the provisions of any Supplemental Subordinated Indenture, shall not constitute an Event of Default, or (b) default in the payment of all or any part of the principal of or any premium on any Subordinated Security of such Series as and when the same shall become due and payable whether at maturity, by proceedings for redemption, by declaration or otherwise, provided however, that an extension of the Stated Maturity for payment of principal of Subordinated Securities of such Series in accordance with the provisions of any Supplemental Subordinated Indenture, shall not constitute an Event of Default, or (c) default in the satisfaction of any sinking fund payment obligation relating to such Series of Subordinated Securities, when and as such obligation shall become due and payable provided however, that an extension of the Stated Maturity for payment of any sinking fund payment with respect to Subordinated Securities of such Series in accordance with the provisions of any Supplemental Subordinated Indenture, shall not constitute an Event of Default, or (d) failure on the part of the Company to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on its part in the Subordinated Securities or in this Subordinated Indenture (including any Supplemental Subordinated Indenture or pursuant to any Certified Resolution, as contemplated by Section 2.01) specifically contained for the benefit of the Holders of the Subordinated Securities of such Series, for a 23 33 period of 90 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee, or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Subordinated Securities of such Series and all other Series so benefited (all Series voting as one class) at the time Outstanding under this Subordinated Indenture a written notice specifying such failure and stating that such is a "Notice of Default" hereunder, or (e) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Company or for any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, if such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days, or (f) the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or the Company's consent to the entry of an order for relief in any involuntary case under any such law, or its consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Company or for any substantial part of its property, or the making by the Company of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or its failure generally to pay its debts as they become due or the taking by the Company of any corporate action in furtherance of any of the foregoing. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to any one or more Series of Outstanding Subordinated Securities, then and in each and every such case, unless the principal amount of all the Subordinated Securities of each Series as to which there is an Event of Default shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Subordinated Securities of such Series then Outstanding hereunder (each such Series voting as a separate class) by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Subordinated Securityholders) may declare the principal amount (or, if the Subordinated Securities of any such Series are Original Issue Discount Subordinated Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such Series) of all the Subordinated Securities of such Series, together with any accrued interest, to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall be immediately due and payable, anything in this Subordinated Indenture or in the Subordinated Securities of such Series contained to the contrary notwithstanding. The foregoing provisions, however, are subject to the condition that if, at any time after the principal amount of the Subordinated Securities of any one or more Series (or of all the Subordinated Securities, as the case may be) shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Company shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all the Subordinated Securities of such Series (or upon all the Subordinated Securities, as the case may be) and the principal of any and all Subordinated Securities of such Series (or of any and all the Subordinated Securities, as the case may be) which shall have become due otherwise than by declaration (with interest on overdue installments of interest to the extent permitted by law and on such principal at the rate or rates of interest borne by, or prescribed therefor in the Subordinated Securities of such Series to the date of such payment or deposit) and the amounts payable to the Trustee under Section 7.06 and any and all defaults under the Subordinated Indenture with respect to Subordinated Securities of such Series (or all Subordinated Securities, as the case may be), other than the non- payment of principal of and any accrued interest on Subordinated Securities of such Series (or any Subordinated Securities, as the case may be) which shall have become due by declaration shall have been cured, remedied or waived as provided in Section 6.09 -- then and in every such case the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the 24 34 Subordinated Securities of such Series (or of all the Subordinated Securities, as the case may be) then Outstanding (such Series or all Series voting as one class if more than one Series are so entitled) by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences; but no such rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default, or shall impair any right consequent thereon. In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Subordinated Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such rescission or annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Subordinated Securities of such Series (or of all the Subordinated Securities, as the case may be) shall be restored respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company and the Trustee and the Holders of the Subordinated Securities of such Series (or of all the Subordinated Securities, as the case may be) shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken. SECTION 6.02. COVENANT OF COMPANY TO PAY TO TRUSTEE WHOLE AMOUNT DUE ON SUBORDINATED SECURITIES ON DEFAULT IN PAYMENT OF INTEREST OR PRINCIPAL. The Company covenants that: (1) in case default shall be made in the payment of any installment of interest on any of the Subordinated Securities of any Series as and when the same shall become due and payable and which payment has not been extended in accordance with the provisions of a Supplemental Subordinated Indenture, and such default shall have continued for a period of 90 days or (2) in case default shall be made in the payment of all or any part of the principal of any of the Subordinated Securities of any Series when the same shall have become due and payable and which payment has not been extended in accordance with the provisions of a Supplemental Subordinated Indenture, whether at the Stated Maturity of such Series or by any call for redemption or by declaration of acceleration or otherwise or (3) in case default shall be made in the satisfaction of any sinking fund obligation when and as such obligation becomes due and payable and which payment has not been extended in accordance with the provisions of a Supplemental Subordinated Indenture, upon demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Subordinated Securities of such Series, the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable on all such Subordinated Securities of such Series for principal (and any premium) and interest and for any overdue sinking fund payment together with interest upon the overdue principal and installments of interest (to the extent permitted by law) at the rate or rates of interest borne by, or prescribed therefor in, the Subordinated Securities of such Series; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expense of collection, including a reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any expenses or liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee hereunder other than through its negligence or bad faith. In case the Company shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as Trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any actions or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Company or any other obligor upon such Subordinated Securities, and collect in the manner 25 35 provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Subordinated Securities wherever situated the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable. If an Event of Default with respect to Subordinated Securities of any Series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Subordinated Securities of such Series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Subordinated Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. SECTION 6.03. TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other similar judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Subordinated Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Subordinated Securities of any Series shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, to the fullest extent permitted by law, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (and premium, if any) and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Subordinated Securities (or, if the Subordinated Securities are Original Issue Discount Subordinated Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such Subordinated Securities) and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and (ii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Subordinated Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. SECTION 6.04. TRUSTEE MAY ENFORCE CLAIMS WITHOUT POSSESSION OF SUBORDINATED SECURITIES. All rights of action and claims under this Subordinated Indenture or the Subordinated Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee to the fullest extent permitted by law without the possession of any of the Subordinated Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Subordinated Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. 26 36 SECTION 6.05. APPLICATION OF MONEYS COLLECTED BY TRUSTEE. Any moneys collected by the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.02 shall be applied in the order following, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such moneys, upon presentation of the several Subordinated Securities in respect of which moneys have been collected, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.06; SECOND: In case the principal of the Outstanding Subordinated Securities in respect of which moneys have been collected shall not have become due and be unpaid, to the payment of any interest on such Subordinated Securities, in the order of the maturity of the installments of such interest, with interest upon the overdue installments of interest (so far as permitted by law and to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee at the rate or rates of interest borne by such Subordinated Securities or prescribed therefor therein) such payments to be made ratably to the Persons entitled thereto, without discrimination or preference; THIRD: In case the principal of the Outstanding Subordinated Securities in respect of which such moneys have been collected shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, to the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon such Subordinated Securities for principal and interest, if any, with interest on the overdue principal and any installments of interest (so far as permitted by law and to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) at the rate or rates of interest borne by, or prescribed therefor in, such Subordinated Securities; and in case such moneys shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due and unpaid upon such Subordinated Securities, then to the payment of such principal and interest, without preference or priority of principal over interest, or of interest over principal, or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of any Subordinated Security over any other Subordinated Security, ratably to the aggregate of such principal and accrued and unpaid interest; and FOURTH: To the payment of the remainder, with appropriate interest to the Company or its successors or assigns, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. SECTION 6.06. LIMITATION ON SUITS BY HOLDERS OF SUBORDINATED SECURITIES. No Holder of any Subordinated Security of any Series shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Subordinated Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Subordinated Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Subordinated Securities of such Series then Outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby (including the reasonable fees of counsel for the Trustee), and the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding and no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.06; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and Holder of every Subordinated Security with every other taker and Holder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Subordinated Securities shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Subordinated 27 37 Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of such Subordinated Securities, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Subordinated Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders of Subordinated Securities. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 6.06, each and every Holder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Subordinated Indenture, the right of any Holder of any Subordinated Security to receive payment of the principal of and interest on such Subordinated Security on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Subordinated Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the date fixed for redemption), or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. SECTION 6.07. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. All powers and remedies given by this Article Six to the Trustee or to the Holders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the Holders, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Subordinated Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any of the Subordinated Securities to exercise any right or power accruing upon any 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 6.06, every power and remedy given by this Article Six or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder or otherwise shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. SECTION 6.08. DELAY OR OMISSION NOT WAIVER. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Subordinated Securities to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.06, every right and remedy given by this Article Six or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. SECTION 6.09. CONTROL BY HOLDERS; WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Subordinated Securities of all Series (voting as one class) at the time Outstanding (determined as provided in Section 8.04) 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, subject to Section 7.01 the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in reliance upon an Opinion of Counsel determines that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken, or if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, determine that the proceedings so directed would be illegal or involve it in personal liability or be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders not parties to such direction, and provided further that nothing in this Subordinated Indenture shall impair the right of the Trustee to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and which is not inconsistent with such direction by the Holders. The Company may set a special record date for purposes of determining the identity of the Holders of Subordinated Securities entitled to vote or consent to any action by vote or consent authorized or permitted by this Section 6.09. Such record date shall be the later of 15 days prior to the first solicitation of such consent or the date of the most recent list of Holders furnished to the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.01 of this Subordinated Indenture prior to such solicitation. 28 38 The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Subordinated Securities of any Series at the time Outstanding (determined as provided in Section 8.04) may on behalf of the Holders of all the Subordinated Securities of such Series waive any past Event of Default with respect to such Series and its consequences (subject to Section 6.02), except a continuing Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a), (b) or (c), or in respect of a covenant or provision of this Subordinated Indenture which under Article Ten cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Subordinated Security so affected. Upon any such waiver, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Subordinated Securities of such Series shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively, and such Event of Default shall be deemed to have been cured and not continuing for every purpose of this Subordinated Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. SECTION 6.10. TRUSTEE TO GIVE NOTICE OF DEFAULTS KNOWN TO IT, BUT MAY WITHHOLD IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. The Trustee shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of any default hereunder with respect to the Subordinated Securities of any Series, give to the Holders of the Subordinated Securities of such Series in the manner and to the extent provided in subsection (c) of Section 5.04 with respect to reports pursuant to subsection (a) of said Section 5.04, notice of such default known to the Trustee unless such default shall have been cured, remedied or waived before the giving of such notice (the term "default" for the purposes of this Section 6.10 being hereby defined to be the events specified in Section 6.01 and any additional events specified in the terms of any Series of Subordinated Securities pursuant to Section 2.01 not including any periods of grace provided for therein, and irrespective of the giving of written notice specified in clause (d) of Section 6.01 and in any such terms); provided, that except in the case of default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any of the Subordinated Securities of such Series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee, or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders of the Subordinated Securities of such Series. SECTION 6.11. REQUIREMENT OF AN UNDERTAKING TO PAY COSTS IN CERTAIN SUITS UNDER THE SUBORDINATED INDENTURE OR AGAINST THE TRUSTEE. All parties to this Subordinated Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Subordinated Security 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 Subordinated Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as 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 6.11 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder of Subordinated Securities of any Series, or group of such Holders, holding in the aggregate more than ten percent in principal amount of the Subordinated Securities of such Series Outstanding, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or any interest or premium on any Subordinated Security, on or after the due date expressed in such Subordinated Security or for such interest (or in the case of any redemption, on or after the Redemption Date). 29 39 ARTICLE SEVEN CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE SECTION 7.01. CERTAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEE. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing, remedying or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Subordinated Indenture. In case an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured, remedied or waived), the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Subordinated Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs. No provision of this Subordinated Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, provided, however, that: (a) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing, remedying or waving of all Events of Default which may have occurred: (1) the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Subordinated Indenture and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Subordinated Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Subordinated Indenture against the Trustee; and (2) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Subordinated Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Subordinated Indenture; (b) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and (c) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of Subordinated Securities pursuant to Section 6.09 relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Subordinated Indenture. None of the provisions contained in this Subordinated 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 hereunder 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 adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. SECTION 7.02. CERTAIN RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01: 30 40 (a) The Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture, note 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 an Officer's Certificate (unless other evidence in respect thereof shall be herein specifically prescribed); and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be evidenced to the Trustee by a Certified Resolution, (c) The Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such written advice or Opinion of Counsel, (d) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Subordinated Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Subordinated Securityholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Subordinated Indenture, unless such Subordinated Securityholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby, (e) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Subordinated Indenture, (f) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture, note or other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do by the Holders of Subordinated Securities pursuant to Section 6.09; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Subordinated Indenture, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such costs, expenses or liabilities as a condition to such proceeding; and provided further, that nothing in this subsection (f) shall require the Trustee to give the Subordinated Securityholders any notice other than that required by Section 6.10. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Company or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Company upon demand, (g) 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 and (h) The Trustee shall be under no responsibility for the approval by it in good faith of any expert for any of the purposes expressed in this Subordinated Indenture. SECTION 7.03. TRUSTEE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR RECITALS OR APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. The recitals contained herein and in the Subordinated Securities (other than the certificate of authentication on the 31 41 Subordinated Securities) shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Subordinated Indenture or of the Subordinated Securities. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of any of the Subordinated Securities or of the proceeds thereof. SECTION 7.04. TRUSTEE MAY OWN SUBORDINATED SECURITIES. The Trustee, any Paying Agent, registrar or any agent of the Company or of the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Subordinated Securities with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, registrar or such other agent. SECTION 7.05. MONEYS RECEIVED BY TRUSTEE TO BE HELD IN TRUST. Moneys held by the Trustee in trust need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed with the Company. SECTION 7.06. TRUSTEE ENTITLED TO COMPENSATION, REIMBURSEMENT AND INDEMNITY. The Company agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of any express trust), and the Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in connection with the acceptance or administration of its trust under this Subordinated 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. The Company also agrees to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in the premises. The obligations of the Company under this Section to compensate the Trustee, to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances and to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Subordinated Indenture. Such additional indebtedness shall be secured by a lien prior to that of the Subordinated Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of or interest or redemption premium on particular Subordinated Securities. SECTION 7.07. RIGHT OF TRUSTEE TO RELY ON OFFICER'S CERTIFICATE WHERE NO OTHER EVIDENCE SPECIFICALLY PRESCRIBED. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Subordinated Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be 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 Officer's Certificate of the Company delivered to the Trustee, and such Officer's 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 by it under the provisions of this Subordinated Indenture upon the faith thereof. SECTION 7.08. DISQUALIFICATION; CONFLICTING INTEREST. (a) If the Trustee has or shall acquire any conflicting interest, as defined in this Section 7.08, it shall, within 90 days after ascertaining that it has such conflicting interest, and if the Event of Default to which such conflicting interest relates has not been cured or duly waived or otherwise eliminated before the end of such 90-day period, the Trustee shall either eliminate such conflicting interest or, except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.08, resign in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 7.10, such resignation to become effective upon the appointment of 32 42 a successor trustee and such successor's acceptance of such appointment, and the Company shall take prompt steps to appoint a successor in accordance with Section 7.10. (b) In the event that the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 7.08, the Trustee shall, within ten days after the expiration of such 90-day period, transmit notice of such failure to the Subordinated Securityholders in the manner and to the extent provided in subsection (c) of Section 5.04 with respect to reports pursuant to subsection (a) of said Section 5.04. (c) Subject to the provisions of Section 6.11 of this Subordinated Indenture, unless the Trustee's duty to resign is stayed as provided in subsection (f) of this Section 7.08, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of Subordinated Securities for at least six months may, on such Holder's behalf and on behalf of all other Holders similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of such Trustee and the appointment of a successor, if such Trustee fails after written request thereof by such Holder to comply with the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 7.08. (d) For the purposes of this Section 7.08 the Trustee shall be deemed to have a conflicting interest with respect to the Subordinated Securities of any Series if an Event of Default (exclusive of any period of grace or requirement of notice) has occurred with respect to Subordinated Securities of such Series and: (1) the Trustee is trustee under another indenture under which any other securities, or certificates of interest or participation in any other securities, of the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities are outstanding or is trustee for more than one outstanding series of securities, as hereinafter defined, under a single indenture of the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities, unless such other indenture is a collateral trust indenture under which the only collateral consists of Subordinated Securities issued under this Subordinated Indenture, provided that there shall be excluded from the operation of this paragraph, this Subordinated Indenture with respect to the Subordinated Securities of any other Series Outstanding, and any other indenture or indentures under which other securities, or certificates of interest or participation in other securities, of the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities are outstanding, if (A) this Subordinated Indenture is and such other indenture or indentures (and all series of securities issued thereunder) are wholly unsecured and rank equally, and such other indenture or indentures (and such series) are hereafter qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, unless the Commission shall have found and declared by order pursuant to subsection (b) of Section 305 or subsection (c) of Section 307 of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, that differences exist between the provisions of this Subordinated Indenture with respect to Subordinated Securities of such Series and one or more other Series, or the provisions of this Subordinated Indenture and the provisions of such other indenture or indentures (or such series), which are so likely to involve a material conflict of interest as to make it necessary in the public interest or for the protection of investors to disqualify the Trustee from acting as such under this Subordinated Indenture with respect to Subordinated Securities of such Series and such other Series, or under this Subordinated Indenture and such other indenture or indentures, or (B) the Company shall have sustained the burden of proving, on application to the Commission and after opportunity for hearing thereon, that the trusteeship under this Subordinated Indenture with respect to Subordinated Securities of such Series and such other Series, or under this Subordinated Indenture and such other indenture, is not so likely to involve a material conflict of interest as to make it necessary in the public interest or for the protection of investors to disqualify the Trustee from acting as such under this Subordinated Indenture with respect to Subordinated 33 43 Securities of such Series and such other Series, or under this Subordinated Indenture and one of such indentures, (2) the Trustee or any of its directors or executive officers is an underwriter for the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities, (3) the Trustee directly or indirectly controls or is directly or indirectly controlled by or is under direct or indirect common control with an underwriter for the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities, (4) the Trustee or any of its directors or executive officers is a director, officer, partner, employee, appointee or representative of the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities, or of an underwriter (other than the Trustee itself) for the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities who is currently engaged in the business of underwriting, except that (A) one individual may be a director and/or an executive officer of the Trustee and a director and/or an executive officer of the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities, but may not be at the same time an executive officer of both the Trustee and the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities; (B) if and so long as the number of directors of the Trustee in office is more than nine, one additional individual may be a director and/or an executive officer of the Trustee and a director of the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities; and (C) the Trustee may be designated by the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities or by an underwriter for the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities to act in the capacity of transfer agent, registrar, custodian, paying agent, fiscal agent, escrow agent or depositary, or in any other similar capacity, or, subject to the provisions of paragraph (1) of this subsection (d), to act as trustee whether under an indenture or otherwise, (5) ten percent or more of the voting securities of the Trustee is beneficially owned either by the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities or by any director, partner or executive officer thereof, or 20% or more of such voting securities is beneficially owned, collectively, by any two or more of such Persons; or ten percent or more of the voting securities of the Trustee is beneficially owned either by an underwriter for the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities or by any director, partner or executive officer thereof or is beneficially owned, collectively, by any two or more such Persons, (6) the Trustee is the beneficial owner of, or holds as collateral security for an obligation which is in default, as hereinafter defined, (A) five percent or more of the voting securities, or ten percent or more of any other class of security, of the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities, not including the Subordinated Securities issued under this Subordinated Indenture and securities issued under any other indenture under which the Trustee is also trustee, or (B) ten percent or more of any class of security of an underwriter for the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities, (7) the Trustee is the beneficial owner of, or holds as collateral security for an obligation which is in default, as hereinafter defined, five percent or more of the voting securities of any Person who, to the knowledge of the Trustee, owns ten percent or more of the voting securities of, or controls directly or indirectly or is under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities, 34 44 (8) the Trustee is the beneficial owner of, or holds as collateral security for an obligation which is in default, as hereinafter defined, ten percent or more of any class of security of any Person who, to the knowledge of the Trustee, owns 50% or more of the voting securities of the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities or (9) the Trustee owns on the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default (exclusive of any period of grace or requirement of notice) or any anniversary thereof while such Event of Default remains outstanding, in the capacity of executor, administrator, testamentary or inter vivos trustee, guardian, committee or conservator, or in any other similar capacity an aggregate of 25% or more of the voting securities or of any class of security, of any Person, the beneficial ownership of a specified percentage of which would have constituted a conflicting interest under paragraph (6), (7) or (8) of this subsection (d). As to any such securities of which the Trustee acquired ownership through becoming executor, administrator or testamentary trustee of an estate which included them, the provisions of the preceding sentence shall not apply, for a period of two years from the date of such acquisition, to the extent that such securities included in such estate do not exceed 25% of such voting securities or 25% of any such class of security. Promptly after the date of the occurrence of any such Event of Default and annually in each succeeding year that the Subordinated Securities or any Series thereof remain in default, the Trustee shall make a check of its holdings of such securities in any of the above-mentioned capacities as of such date. If the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities fails to make payment in full of principal of or interest on any of the Subordinated Securities when and as the same become due and payable and such failure continues for 30 days thereafter, the Trustee shall make a prompt check of its holdings of such securities in any of the above-mentioned capacities as of the date of the expiration of such 30-day period, and after such date, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (9), all such securities so held by the Trustee, with sole or joint control over such securities vested in it, shall, but only so long as such failure shall continue, be considered as though beneficially owned by the Trustee for the purposes of paragraphs (6), (7) and (8) of this subsection (d), or (10) except under the circumstances described in paragraphs (1), (3), (4), (5) or (6) of Section 7.13(b), the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities. The specifications of percentages in paragraphs (5) to (9), inclusive, of this subsection (d) shall not be construed as indicating that the ownership of such percentages of the securities of a Person is or is not necessary or sufficient to constitute direct or indirect control for the purposes of paragraph (3) or (7) of this subsection (d). For the purposes of paragraphs (6), (7), (8) and (9) of this subsection (d) only, (A) the terms "security" and "securities" shall include only such securities as are generally known as corporate securities, but shall not include any note or other evidence of indebtedness issued to evidence an obligation to repay moneys lent to a Person by one or more banks, trust companies or banking firms, or any certificate of interest or participation in any such note or evidence of indebtedness; (B) an obligation shall be deemed to be in default when a default in payment of principal shall have continued for 30 days or more and shall not have been cured; and (C) the Trustee shall not be deemed to be the owner or Holder of (I) any security which it holds as collateral security (as trustee or otherwise) for an obligation which is not in default as defined in clause (B) above, or (ii) any security which it holds as collateral security under this Subordinated Indenture, irrespective of any default hereunder, or (iii) any security which it holds as agent for collection, or as custodian, escrow agent or depositary, or in any similar representative capacity. 35 45 (e) For the purposes of this Section 7.08: (1) The term "underwriter" when used with reference to the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities shall mean every Person who, within one year prior to the time as of which the determination is made, has purchased from the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities with a view to, or has offered or sold for the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities in connection with, the distribution of any security of the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities outstanding at such time, or has participated or has had a direct or indirect participation in any such undertaking, or has participated or has had a participation in the direct or indirect underwriting of any such undertaking, but such term shall not include a Person whose interest was limited to a commission from an underwriter or dealer not in excess of the usual and customary distributors' or sellers' commission. (2) The term "director" shall mean any director of a Company or any individual performing similar functions with respect to any organization whether incorporated or unincorporated. (3) The term "trust" shall include only a trust where the interest or interests of the beneficiary or beneficiaries are evidenced by a security. (4) The term "voting security" shall mean any security presently entitling the owner or Holder thereof to vote in the direction or management of the affairs of a Person, or any security issued under or pursuant to any trust, agreement or arrangement whereby a trustee or trustees or agent or agents for the owner or Holder of such security are presently entitled to vote in the direction or management of the affairs of a Person. (5) The term "executive officer" shall mean the president, every vice-president, every trust officer, the cashier, the secretary and the treasurer of a Company, and any individual customarily performing similar functions with respect to any organization whether incorporated or unincorporated, but shall not include the chairman of the board of directors. (6) Except for purposes of paragraphs (6), (7), (8) and (9) of subsection (d) of this Section 7.08, the term "security" or "securities" shall mean any note, stock, treasury stock, bond, debenture, evidence of indebtedness, certificate of interest or participation in any profit-sharing agreement, collateral-trust certificate, pre-organization certificate or subscription, transferable share, investment contract, voting-trust certificate, certificate of deposit for a security, fractional undivided interest in oil, gas or other mineral rights, or, in general, any interest or instrument commonly known as a "security" or any certificate of interest or participation in, temporary or interim certificate for, receipt for, guarantee of, or warrant or right to subscribe to or purchase, any of the foregoing. (7) For the purpose of subsection (d)(1) of this Section 7.08, the term "series of securities" or "series" means a series, class or group of securities issuable under an indenture pursuant to whose terms Holders of one such series may vote to direct the indenture trustee, or otherwise take action pursuant to a vote of such holders, separately from holders of another such series; provided, that "series of securities" or "series" shall not include any series of securities issuable under an indenture if all such series rank equally and are wholly unsecured. 36 46 The percentages of voting securities and other securities specified in this Section shall be calculated in accordance with the following provisions: (A) A specified percentage of the voting securities of the Trustee, the Company or any other Person referred to in this Section 7.08 (each of whom is referred to as a "Person" in this paragraph) means such amount of the outstanding voting securities of such Person as entitles the Holder or Holders thereof to cast such specified percentage of the aggregate votes which the Holders of all the outstanding voting securities of such Person are entitled to cast in the direction or management of the affairs of such Person. (B) A specified percentage of a class of securities of a Person means such percentage of the aggregate amount of securities of the class outstanding. (C) The term "amount", when used in regard to securities, means the principal amount if relating to evidences of indebtedness, the number of shares if relating to capital shares, and the number of units if relating to any other kind of security. (D) The term "outstanding" means issued and not held by or for the account of the issuer. The following securities shall not be deemed outstanding within the meaning of this definition: (i) Subordinated Securities of an issuer held in a sinking fund relating to securities of the issuer of the same class; (ii) Subordinated Securities of an issuer held in a sinking fund relating to another class of securities of the issuer, if the obligation evidenced by such other class of securities is not in default as to principal or interest or otherwise; (iii) Subordinated Securities pledged by the issuer thereof as security for an obligation of the issuer not in default as to principal or interest or otherwise; and (iv) Subordinated Securities held in escrow if placed in escrow by the issuer thereof; provided, however, that any voting securities of an issuer shall be deemed outstanding if any Person other than the issuer is entitled to exercise the voting rights thereof. (E) A security shall be deemed to be of the same class as another security if both securities confer upon the Holder or Holders thereof substantially the same rights and privileges, provided, however, that, in the case of secured evidences of indebtedness, all of which are issued under a single indenture, differences in the interest rates or maturity dates of various series thereof shall not be deemed sufficient to constitute such series different classes, and provided further that, in the case of unsecured evidences of indebtedness, differences in the interest rate or maturity dates thereof shall not be deemed sufficient to constitute them securities of different classes, whether or not they are issued under a single indenture. (f) Except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Subordinated Securities, or in the payment of any sinking or purchase fund installment, the Trustee shall not be required to resign as provided by this Section 7.08 if the Trustee shall have sustained the burden of 37 47 proving, on application to the Commission and after opportunity for hearing thereon, that (i) the default under this Subordinated Indenture may be cured or waived during a reasonable period and under the procedures described in such application, and (ii) a stay of the Trustee's duty to resign will not be inconsistent with the interests of Holders of such Series of Subordinated Securities. The filing of such an application shall automatically stay the performance of the duty to resign until the Commission orders otherwise. Any resignation of the Trustee shall become effective only upon the appointment of a successor trustee and such successor's acceptance of such appointment. SECTION 7.09. REQUIREMENTS FOR ELIGIBILITY OF TRUSTEE. There shall always be at least one Trustee hereunder. The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a Company organized and doing business as a commercial bank under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof or of the District of Columbia or a Company or other Person permitted to act as a trustee by the Commission and, in each case, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000, and subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State or District of Columbia authority. If such Company 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, the combined capital and surplus of such Company shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. No obligor on the Subordinated Securities or Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with such obligor shall serve as Trustee. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.09, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Article Seven. SECTION 7.10. RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL OF TRUSTEE; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR. (a) The Trustee, or any trustee or trustees hereafter appointed, may at any time resign with respect to one or more or all Series of Subordinated Securities by giving written notice of such resignation to the Company and by giving to the Holders of Subordinated Securities notice thereof in the manner and to the extent provided in subsection (c) of Section 5.04 with respect to reports pursuant to subsection (a) of Section 5.04. Upon receiving such notice of resignation and if the Company shall deem it appropriate, evidence satisfactory to it of such mailing to the Holders, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee with respect to all Series of Subordinated Securities or, if appropriate, the applicable Series by written instrument executed by an authorized officer of the Company, 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 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, or any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities for at least six months may, subject to the provisions of Section 6.11, on such Holder's behalf and on behalf of 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 of the following shall occur: (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of subsection (a) of Section 7.08 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Subordinated Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities of the applicable Series for at least six months, or (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.09 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Subordinated Securityholder, or 38 48 (3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, 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, or (4) the Company shall determine that the Trustee has failed to perform its obligations under this Subordinated Indenture in any material respect, then, in any such case, the Company may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument executed by an authorized officer of the Company, 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 6.11, any Subordinated Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities of the affected Series for at least six months may, on such Person's behalf and on behalf of all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee with respect to such Series. 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 a majority in principal amount of the Subordinated Securities Outstanding (determined as provided in Section 8.04) may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument or instruments signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, or by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of a meeting of the Subordinated Securityholders evidencing the vote upon a resolution or resolutions submitted thereto with respect to such removal and appointment (as provided in Article Nine), and by delivery thereof to the Trustee so removed, to the successor trustee and to the Company. (d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and any appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 7.10 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 7.11. SECTION 7.11. ACCEPTANCE OF APPOINTMENT BY SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 7.10 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations with respect to such Series of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or of the successor trustee, the trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights and powers with respect to the trustee so ceasing to act. Upon written request of any such successor trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a lien upon all property or funds held or collected by such trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06. No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 7.11 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 7.08 and eligible under the provisions of Section 7.09. Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 7.11, the successor trustee shall at the expense of the Company transmit notice of the succession of such trustee 39 49 hereunder to the Holders of Subordinated Securities in the manner and to the extent provided in subsection (c) of Section 5.04 with respect to reports pursuant to subsection (a) of said Section 5.04. SECTION 7.12. SUCCESSOR TO TRUSTEE BY MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR SUCCESSION TO BUSINESS. Any Company into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Company resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any Company succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such Company shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 7.08 and eligible under the provisions of Section 7.09, 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 at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Subordinated Indenture any of the Subordinated Securities shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee, and deliver such Subordinated Securities so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Subordinated Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Subordinated Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Subordinated Securities or in this Subordinated Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have; provided, however, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or to authenticate Subordinated Securities in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation. SECTION 7.13. PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST COMPANY. (a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section 7.13, if the Trustee shall be or shall become a creditor, directly or indirectly, secured or unsecured, of the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities within three months prior to a default, as defined in subsection (c) of this Section 7.13, or subsequent to such a default, then, unless and until such default shall be cured, the Trustee shall set apart and hold in a special account for the benefit of the Trustee individually, the Holders of the Subordinated Securities for which it is acting as Trustee, and the holders of other indenture securities (as defined in subsection (c) of this Section 7.13): (1) an amount equal to any and all reductions in the amount due and owing upon any claim as such creditor in respect of principal or interest, effected after the beginning of such three months' period, and valid as against the Company or such other obligor on the Subordinated Securities and its other creditors, except any such reduction resulting from the receipt or disposition of any property described in paragraph (2) of this subsection, or from the exercise of any right of set-off which the Trustee could have exercised if a petition in bankruptcy had been filed by or against the Company or such other obligor on the Subordinated Securities upon the date of such default; and (2) all property received by the Trustee in respect of any claims as such creditor, either as security therefor, or in satisfaction or composition thereof, or otherwise, after the beginning of such three months' period, or an amount equal to the proceeds of any such property if disposed of, subject, however, to the rights, if any, of the Company or such other obligor on the Subordinated Securities and their respective other creditors in such property or such proceeds. Nothing herein contained, however, shall affect the right of the Trustee: 40 50 (A) to retain for its own account (i) payments made on account of any such claim by any Person (other than the Company or such other obligor on the Subordinated Securities) who is liable thereon, and (ii) the proceeds of the bona fide sale of any such claim by the Trustee to a third Person, and (iii) distributions made in cash, securities or other property in respect of claims filed against the Company or such other obligor on the Subordinated Securities in bankruptcy or receivership or in proceedings for reorganization pursuant to Title 11 of the United States Code or applicable State laws; (B) to realize, for its own account, upon any property held by it as security for any such claim, if such property was so held prior to the beginning of such three months' period; (C) to realize, for its own account, but only to the extent of the claim hereinafter mentioned, upon any property held by it as security for any such claim, if such claim was created after the beginning of such three months' period and such property was received as security therefor simultaneously with the creation thereof, and if the Trustee shall sustain the burden of proving that at the time such property was so received, the Trustee had no reasonable cause to believe that a default, as defined in subsection (c) of this Section 7.13, would occur within three months; or (D) to receive payment on any claim referred to in paragraph (B) or (C), against the release of any property held as security for such claim as provided in such paragraph (B) or (C), as the case may be, to the extent of the fair value of such property. For the purposes of paragraphs (B), (C) and (D), property substituted after the beginning of such three months' period for property held as security at the time of such substitution shall, to the extent of the fair value of the property released, have the same status as the property released, and to the extent that any claim referred to in any of such paragraphs is created in renewal of or in substitution for or for the purpose of repaying or refunding any preexisting claim of the Trustee as such creditor, such claim shall have the same status as such preexisting claim. If the Trustee shall be required to account, the funds and property held in such special account and the proceeds thereof shall be apportioned among the Trustee, the Holders of Subordinated Securities for which it is acting as Trustee, and the holders of other indenture securities in such manner that the Trustee, such Subordinated Securityholders and the holders of other indenture securities realize, as a result of payments from such special account and payments of dividends on claims filed against the Company or such other obligor on the Subordinated Securities in bankruptcy or receivership or in proceedings for reorganization pursuant to Title 11 of the United States Code or applicable State law, the same percentage of their respective claims, figured before crediting to the claim of the Trustee anything on account of the receipt by it from the Company or such other obligor on the Subordinated Securities of the funds and property in such special account and before crediting to the respective claims of the Trustee, such Subordinated Securityholders, and the holders of other indenture securities dividends on claims filed against the Company or such other obligor on the Subordinated Securities in bankruptcy or receivership or in proceedings for reorganization pursuant to Title 11 of the United States Code or applicable State law, but after crediting thereon receipts on account of the indebtedness represented by their respective claims from all sources other than from such dividends and from the funds and property so held in such special account. As used in this paragraph, with respect to any claim, the term "dividends" shall include any distribution with respect to such claim in bankruptcy or receivership or in proceedings for reorganization pursuant to Title 11 of the United States Code or applicable State law, whether such distribution is made in cash, securities or other property, but shall not include any such distribution with respect to the secured portion, if any, of such claim. The court in which such bankruptcy, receivership or proceeding for reorganization is pending shall 41 51 have jurisdiction (i) to apportion among the Trustee, such Subordinated Securityholders, and the holders of other indenture securities, in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph, the funds and property held in such special account and the proceeds thereof, or (ii) in lieu of such apportionment in whole or in part, to give to the provisions of this paragraph due consideration in determining the fairness of the distributions to be made to the Trustee, such Subordinated Securityholders and the holders of other indenture securities with respect to their respective claims, in which event it shall not be necessary to liquidate or to appraise the value of any securities or other property held in such special account or as security for any such claim, or to make a specific allocation of such distributions as between the secured and unsecured portions of such claim, or otherwise to apply the provisions of this paragraph as a mathematical formula. Any Trustee who has resigned or been removed after the beginning of such three months' period shall be subject to the provisions of this subsection (a) as though such resignation or removal had not occurred. If any Trustee has resigned or been removed prior to the beginning of such three months' period, it shall be subject to the provisions of this subsection (a) if and only if the following conditions exist: (i) the receipt of property or reduction of claim which would have given rise to the obligation to account, if such Trustee had continued, as trustee, occurred after the beginning of such three months' period; and (ii) such receipt of property or reduction of claim occurred within three months after such resignation or removal. In every case commenced under the Bankruptcy Act of 1898, or any amendment thereto enacted prior to November 6, 1978, all references to periods of three months shall be deemed to be references to periods of four months. (b) There shall be excluded from the operation of subsection (a) of this Section 7.13 a creditor relationship arising from: (1) the ownership or acquisition of securities issued under any indenture, or any security or securities having a maturity of one year or more at the time of acquisition by the Trustee; (2) advances authorized by a receivership or bankruptcy court of competent jurisdiction, or by this Subordinated Indenture, for the purpose of preserving any property which shall at any time be subject to the lien of this Subordinated Indenture or of discharging tax liens or other prior liens or encumbrances thereon, if notice of such advance and of the circumstances surrounding the making thereof is given to the Subordinated Securityholders at the time and in the manner provided in Section 5.04(c) with respect to reports pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) thereof, respectively; (3) disbursements made in the ordinary course of business in the capacity of trustee under an indenture, transfer agent, registrar, custodian, paying agent, fiscal agent or depositary, or other similar capacity; (4) an indebtedness created as a result of services rendered or premises rented, or an indebtedness created as a result of goods or securities sold in a cash transaction as defined in subsection (c) of this Section 7.13; (5) the ownership of stock or of other securities of a Company organized under the provisions of Section 25(a) of the Federal Reserve Act, as amended, which is 42 52 directly or indirectly a creditor of the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities; and (6) the acquisition, ownership, acceptance or negotiation of any drafts, bills of exchange, acceptances or obligations which fall within the classification of self-liquidating paper as defined in subsection (c) of this Section 7.13. (c) As used in this Section 7.13 the following terms shall be accorded the following definitions: (1) the term "default" shall mean any failure to make payment in full of the principal of or interest on any of the Subordinated Securities or on the other indenture securities when and as such principal or interest becomes due and payable. (2) the term "other indenture securities" shall mean securities upon which the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities is an "obligor" (as defined in the Trust Indenture Act of 1939) outstanding under any other indenture (A) under which the Trustee is also trustee, (B) which contains provisions substantially similar to the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 7.13, and (C) under which a default exists at the time of the apportionment of the funds and property held in said special account. (3) the term "cash transaction" shall mean any transaction in which full payment for goods or securities sold is made within seven days after delivery of the goods or securities in currency or in checks or other orders drawn upon banks or bankers and payable upon demand. (4) the term "self-liquidating paper" shall mean any draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation which is made, drawn, negotiated or incurred by the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities for the purpose of financing the purchase, processing, manufacture, shipment, storage or sale of goods, wares or merchandise and which is secured by documents evidencing title to, possession of, or a lien upon, the goods, wares or merchandise or the receivables or proceeds arising from the sale of the goods, wares or merchandise previously constituting the security, provided the security is received by the Trustee simultaneously with the creation of the creditor relationship with the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities arising from the making, drawing, negotiating or incurring of the draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation. ARTICLE EIGHT CONCERNING THE SUBORDINATED SECURITYHOLDERS SECTION 8.01. EVIDENCE OF ACTION BY SUBORDINATED SECURITYHOLDERS. Whenever in this Subordinated Indenture it is provided that the Holders of a specified percentage in principal amount of the Subordinated Securities of any or all Series 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 specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced (a) by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by such Subordinated Securityholders in Person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, or (b) by the record of such Holders of Subordinated Securities voting in favor thereof at any meeting of such Subordinated Securityholders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article Nine, or (c) by a 43 53 combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of such Subordinated Securityholders. SECTION 8.02. PROOF OF EXECUTION OF INSTRUMENTS AND OF HOLDING OF SUBORDINATED SECURITIES. Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01, 7.02 and 9.05, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Subordinated Securityholder or such Holder's agent or proxy and proof of the holding by any Person of any of the Subordinated Securities 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 Subordinated Securities of any Series (including Global Subordinated Securities) shall be proved by the Register of such Subordinated Securities of such Series, or by certificates of the Subordinated Security registrar or registrars thereof. The Trustee shall not be bound to recognize any Person as a Subordinated Securityholder unless and until such Person's title to the Subordinated Securities held by it is proved in the manner in this Article Eight provided. The record of any Subordinated Securityholders' meeting shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 9.06. The Trustee may accept such other proof or require such additional proof of any matter referred to in this Section 8.02 as it shall deem reasonable. SECTION 8.03. WHO MAY BE DEEMED OWNERS OF SUBORDINATED SECURITIES. Prior to due presentment for transfer of any Subordinated Security, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may deem and treat the Person in whose name such Subordinated Security shall be registered upon the Register of Subordinated Securities of the Series of which such Subordinated Security is a part as the absolute owner of such Subordinated Security (whether or not such Subordinated Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and interest, subject to Section 2.03, on such Subordinated Security and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments so made to any such Holder for the time being, or upon such Holder's order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability of moneys payable upon any such Subordinated Security. If the Subordinated Securities of any Series are issued in the form of one or more Global Subordinated Securities, the Depository therefor may grant proxies to Persons having a beneficial ownership in such Global Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities for purposes of voting or otherwise responding to any request for consent, waiver or other action which the Holder of such Subordinated Security is entitled to grant or take under this Subordinated Indenture and the Trustee shall accept such proxies for the purposes granted; provided that neither the Trustee nor the Company shall have any obligation with respect to the grant of or solicitation by the Depository of such proxies. SECTION 8.04. SUBORDINATED SECURITIES OWNED BY THE COMPANY OR CONTROLLED OR CONTROLLING PERSONS DISREGARDED FOR CERTAIN PURPOSES. In determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Subordinated Securities have concurred in any demand, direction, request, notice, vote, consent, waiver or other action under this Subordinated Indenture, Subordinated Securities which are owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any other 44 54 obligor on the Subordinated Securities shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination, provided that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such demand, direction, request, notice, vote, consent, waiver or other action, only Subordinated Securities which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to its principal office knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Subordinated Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding for the purposes of this Section 8.04, if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee's right to vote such Subordinated Securities 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. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officer's Certificate listing and identifying all Subordinated Securities, if any, known by the Company to be owned or held by or for the account of the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities; and, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officer's Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all Subordinated Securities not listed therein are Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination. SECTION 8.05. INSTRUMENTS EXECUTED BY SUBORDINATED SECURITYHOLDERS BIND FUTURE HOLDERS. At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 8.01, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage in principal amount of the Subordinated Securities specified in this Subordinated Indenture in connection with such action, any Holder of a Subordinated Security which is shown by the evidence to be included in the Subordinated Securities the Holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at its principal office and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 8.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Subordinated Security. Except as aforesaid any such action taken by the Holder of any Subordinated Security and any direction, demand, request, notice, waiver, consent, vote or other action of the Holder of any Subordinated Security which by any provisions of this Subordinated Indenture is required or permitted to be given shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Subordinated Security, and of any Subordinated Security issued in lieu thereof, irrespective of whether any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Subordinated Security.
