Contemporaneously therewith, a Regular Trustee, on behalf of the Trust and pursuant to the JSN Subscription Agreement, shall subscribe for and purchase from the Sponsor the JSNs, registered in the name of the Trust and having an aggregate principal amount equal to $450,010,000 and, in satisfaction of the purchase price for such JSNs, the Property Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall deliver to the Sponsor the sum of $450,010,000 (being the sum of the amounts delivered to the Property Trustee pursuant to (i) the second sentence of Section 3.7, and (ii) the first sentence of this Section 3.8) and receive on behalf of the Trust the JSNs.

The Trust may from time to time issue additional Trust Preferred Securities without the consent of, or notice to, the Holders or the holders of the JSNs, provided that:

fungible with the Trust Preferred Securities originally issued by the Trust for United States federal income tax purposes;

Property Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Declaration; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions that by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Property Trustee, the Property Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Declaration.

(iv) no provision of this Declaration shall require the Property Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment of such funds or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it;

(v) the Property Trustee’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safe keeping and physical preservation of the JSNs and the Property Trustee Account shall be to deal with such property in a similar manner as the Property Trustee deals with similar property for its own account, subject to the protections and limitations on liability afforded to the Property Trustee under this Declaration and the Trust Indenture Act;

To the extent that, at law or in equity, the Delaware Trustee has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Trust or the Holders, it is hereby understood and agreed by the other parties hereto that such duties and liabilities are to the fullest extent permitted by law replaced by the duties and liabilities of the Delaware Trustee expressly set forth in this Declaration. The Delaware trustee shall have no liability for the acts or omissions of the Regular Trustees or the Property Trustee. The Delaware Trustee shall be entitled to all of the same rights, protections and immunities under this Declaration and with respect to the Trust as the Property Trustee.

The Paying Agent shall make Distributions to Holders from the Payment Account (which may be the Property Trustee Account) and shall report the amounts of such Distributions to the Property Trustee and the Regular Trustees. Any Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to withdraw funds from the Payment Account solely for the purpose of making the Distributions referred to above. The Property Trustee may revoke such power and remove any Paying Agent in its sole discretion. Any Person acting as Paying Agent shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent upon 30 days’ written notice to the Regular Trustees and the Property Trustee.

The Property Trustee may also appoint an additional Paying Agent. Such successor Paying Agent or any additional Paying Agent appointed by the Property Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Delaware Trustee and the Property Trustee an instrument in which such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent shall agree with the Delaware Trustee and the Property Trustee that as Paying Agent, such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent will hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Holders in trust for the benefit of the Holders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Holders.

The provisions of Sections 3.13, 3.14 and 10.4 herein and the Trust Indenture Act (to the extent applicable) shall apply to the Paying Agent, for so long as it shall act as Paying Agent and, to the extent applicable, to any other paying agent appointed hereunder. Any reference in this Declaration to the Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent chosen by the Property Trustee unless the context requires otherwise.

Unless otherwise determined by the Regular Trustees, and except as otherwise required by the Statutory Trust Act, any Regular Trustee is authorized to execute on behalf of the Trust any documents that the Regular Trustees have the power and authority to execute pursuant to Section 3.10.

The recitals contained in this Declaration and the Securities shall be taken as the statements of the Sponsor, and the Trustees do not assume any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustees make no representations as to the value or condition of the property of the Trust or any part thereof. The Trustees make no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Declaration or the Securities.

The Trust shall exist until dissolved and terminated pursuant to the provisions of Article VIII hereof.

(b) At the Sponsor’s request, the Trust may, with the consent of the Regular Trustees or, if there are more than two, a majority of the Regular Trustees and without the consent of the Holders of the Securities, the Delaware Trustee or the Property Trustee, consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or be replaced by or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to, a trust organized as such under the laws of any State; provided, that:

(A) expressly assumes all of the obligations of the Trust under the Trust Preferred Securities; or

(B) substitutes for the Trust Preferred Securities other securities having substantially the same terms as the Trust Preferred Securities (the “Successor Securities”) so long as the Successor Securities rank the same as the Trust Preferred Securities rank with respect to Distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption and otherwise;

(ii) a trustee of the Successor Entity possessing the same powers and duties as the Property Trustee is appointed to hold the JSNs then beneficially held by the Property Trustee on behalf of the Trust and the JSN Issuer expressly acknowledges such trustee as the Holder of the JSNs;

(iii) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not cause the Trust Preferred Securities (including any Successor Securities) to be downgraded by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization;

(iv) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the Holders of the Securities (including any Successor Securities) in any material respect (other than with respect to any dilution of such Holders’ interests in the new entity as a result of such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement);

(v) such Successor Entity has a purpose substantially identical to that of the Trust;

(vi) prior to such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement conveyance, transfer or lease, the Trust has received an opinion of a nationally recognized counsel to the Trust experienced in such matters to the effect that:

privileges of the Holders of the Securities (including any Successor Securities) in any material respect (other than with respect to any dilution of the Holders’ interest in the new entity); and

(B) following such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease neither the Trust nor the Successor Entity will be required to register as an Investment Company; and

(c) Notwithstanding Section 3.19(b), the Trust shall not, except with the consent of Holders of 100% in Liquidation Amount of the Securities, consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or be replaced by or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any other entity or permit any other entity to consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or replace it, if such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease would cause the Trust or the Successor Entity to be classified as other than a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes.

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Sponsor or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Trust or the Sponsor or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Property Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the JSNs shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Property Trustee shall have made any demand on the Trust or the Sponsor, as the case may be, for the payment of overdue principal, premium or interest on the JSNs) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of premium, if any, and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Property Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Property Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) 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 Property Trustee and, in the event that the Property Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Property

Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Property Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Property Trustee.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Property 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 Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Property Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

All rights of action and claims under this Declaration or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Property Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Property 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 Property Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, any money collected by the Property Trustee pursuant to this Declaration shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Property Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of premium, if any, or interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Property Trustee and each predecessor Property Trustee; and

SECOND: Subject to Article VIII, to the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for premium, if any, and interest on the Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for premium, if any, and interest, respectively.

In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

On the Closing Date, the Sponsor will purchase all of the Trust Common Securities issued by the Trust at the same time as the Trust Preferred Securities are sold.

In connection with the issue and sale of the Trust Preferred Securities, the Sponsor shall have the exclusive right and responsibility to engage in the following activities:

(a) to prepare for filing by the Trust with the Commission any necessary amendments, prospectuses, free writing prospectuses or other documents relating to the Trust’s registration statement on Form S-3 relating to the registration under the Securities Act of the Trust Preferred Securities;

(b) to determine the States in which to take appropriate action to qualify or register for sale all or part of the Trust Preferred Securities and to do any and all such acts, other than actions which must be taken by the Trust, and advise the Trust of actions it must take, and prepare for execution and filing any documents to be executed and filed by the Trust, as the Sponsor deems necessary or advisable in order to comply with the applicable laws of any such States;

(c) to prepare for filing by the Trust an application to the New York Stock Exchange or any other national stock exchange for listing upon notice of issuance of any Trust Preferred Securities;

(d) to prepare for filing by the Trust with the Commission a registration statement on Form 8-A, including any pre-effective or post-effective amendments thereto, relating to the registration of the Trust Preferred Securities under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, including any amendments thereto; and

(e) to negotiate the terms of, and the execution and delivery of, the Underwriting Agreement providing for the sale of the Trust Preferred Securities;

(f) compliance with the listing requirements of the Trust Preferred Securities upon the New York Stock Exchange or such securities exchange or exchanges on which the Trust Preferred Securities are listed as shall be determined by the Sponsor and the preparation and filing of all periodic and other reports and other documents pursuant to the foregoing; and

(g) the taking of any other actions necessary or desirable to carry out any of the foregoing activities.

(a) at any time before the issuance of any Securities, the Sponsor may, by written instrument, increase or decrease the number of Trustees; and

(b) subject to the provisions of Section 5.6, after the issuance of any Securities, the number of Trustees may be increased or decreased by vote or written consent of the Holders of a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Common Securities voting as a class; provided, however, that the number of Trustees shall in no event be less than two; provided further that (1) there shall be one Delaware Trustee; (2) there shall be at least three Trustees who are employees or officers of, or are affiliated with the Sponsor (each a “Regular Trustee”); and (3) one Trustee shall be the Property Trustee for so long as this Declaration is required to qualify as an indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, and such Trustee may also serve as Delaware Trustee if it meets the applicable requirements.

(b) if not a natural person, an entity which has its principal place of business in the State of Delaware, and otherwise meets the requirements of applicable law, provided, that if the Property Trustee has its principal place of business in the State of Delaware and otherwise meets the requirements of applicable law, then the Property Trustee shall also be the Delaware Trustee and Section 3.11 shall have no application.

(a) There shall at all times be one Trustee (which may be the Delaware Trustee) that shall act as Property Trustee which shall:

(ii) be a Person organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or any State or Territory thereof or of the District of Columbia, or a Person permitted by the Commission to act as an institutional trustee under the Trust Indenture Act, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least fifty million U.S. dollars ($50,000,000), and subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State, Territorial or District of Columbia authority. If such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the supervising or examining authority referred to above, then for the purposes of this Section 5.3(a)(ii), the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be

deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published; and

(iii) if the Trust is excluded from the definition of an Investment Company solely by means of Rule 3a-7 and to the extent Rule 3a-7 requires a trustee having certain qualifications to hold title to the “eligible assets” of the Trust, the Property Trustee shall possess those qualifications.

(b) If at any time the Property Trustee shall cease to be eligible to so act under Section 5.3(a), the Property Trustee shall immediately resign in the manner and with the effect set forth in Section 5.6(c).

(d) The Trust Preferred Securities Guarantee shall be deemed to be specifically described in this Declaration for purposes of clause (i) of the first proviso contained in Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

Each Regular Trustee and the Delaware Trustee (unless the Property Trustee also acts as Delaware Trustee) shall be either a natural person who is at least 21 years of age or a legal entity that shall act through one or more Authorized Officers.

(b) Except as expressly set forth in this Declaration and except if a meeting of the Regular Trustees is called with respect to any matter over which the Regular Trustees have power to act, any power of the Regular Trustees may be exercised by, or with the consent of, any one such Regular Trustee.

(c) Unless otherwise determined by the Regular Trustees, and except as otherwise required by the Statutory Trust Act or applicable law, any Regular Trustee is authorized to execute on behalf of the Trust any documents which the Regular Trustees have the power and authority to cause the Trust to execute pursuant to Section 3.10.

(a) Subject to Section 5.6(b), Trustees may be appointed or removed without cause at any time:

(i) until the issuance of any Securities, by written instrument executed by the Sponsor; and

(ii) in the case of the Regular Trustees, after the issuance of any Securities, by vote or written consent of the Holders of a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Common Securities;

(iii) in the case of the Property Trustee and the Delaware Trustee, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing after the issuance of the Securities and the Property Trustee is the beneficial owner of any JSNs on behalf of the Trust, by a vote or written consent of the Holders of a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Common Securities;

(iv) in the case of the Property Trustee and the Delaware Trustee, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing after the issuance of any Securities, for cause by a vote or written consent of the Holders of a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Preferred Securities; and

(v) in the case of the Property Trustee and the Delaware Trustee, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing after the issuance of the Securities, by a vote or written consent of the Holders of a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Preferred Securities.

(b) (i) Removal of the Trustee that acts as Property Trustee in accordance with Section 5.6(a) shall not be effective until a successor Trustee possessing the qualifications to act as Property Trustee under Section 5.3 (a “Successor Property Trustee”) has been appointed and has

accepted such appointment by written instrument executed by such Successor Property Trustee and delivered to the Regular Trustees and the Sponsor; and

(ii) removal of the Trustee that acts as Delaware Trustee in accordance with Section 5.6(a) shall not be effective until a successor Trustee possessing the qualifications to act as Delaware Trustee under Sections 5.2 and 5.4 (a “Successor Delaware Trustee”) has been appointed and has accepted such appointment by written instrument executed by such Successor Delaware Trustee and delivered to the Regular Trustees and the Sponsor.

(c) A Trustee appointed to office shall hold office until his or its successor shall have been appointed, or until his death or its dissolution, or until his or its removal or resignation. Any Trustee may resign from office (without need for prior or subsequent accounting) by an instrument in writing signed by the Trustee and delivered to the Sponsor and the Trust, which resignation shall take effect upon such delivery or upon such later date as is specified therein; provided, however, that:

(i) No such resignation of the Trustee that acts as the Property Trustee shall be effective:

(A) until a Successor Property Trustee has been appointed and has accepted such appointment by instrument executed by such Successor Property Trustee and delivered to the Trust, the Sponsor and the resigning Property Trustee; or

(B) until the assets of the Trust have been completely liquidated and the proceeds thereof distributed to the Holders of the Securities; and

(ii) no such resignation of the Trustee that acts as the Delaware Trustee shall be effective until a Successor Delaware Trustee has been appointed and has accepted such appointment by instrument executed by such Successor Delaware Trustee and delivered to the Trust, the Sponsor and the resigning Delaware Trustee.

(d) The Holders of the Trust Common Securities shall use their best efforts to promptly appoint a Successor Delaware Trustee or Successor Property Trustee as the case may be if the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee delivers an instrument of resignation in accordance with this Section 5.6.

(e) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Property Trustee or Delaware Trustee with respect to the Securities, the Sponsor, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities shall execute and deliver a declaration supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and that (i) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates and (ii) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Declaration as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the Trust hereunder; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental declaration the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective

to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts, and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities; but, on request of the Sponsor or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities.

(f) If no Successor Property Trustee or Successor Delaware Trustee shall have been appointed, as the case may be, and accepted appointment as provided in this Section 5.6 within 60 days after delivery to the Sponsor and the Trust of an instrument of resignation or removal, the resigning or removed Property Trustee or Delaware Trustee, as applicable, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a Successor Property Trustee or Successor Delaware Trustee. Such court may thereupon, after prescribing such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a Successor Property Trustee or Successor Delaware Trustee, as the case may be.

(g) Upon request of any such Successor Property Trustee or Successor Delaware Trustee, the Sponsor shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Property Trustee or Successor Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in Section 5.6(e).

(h) No Successor Property Trustee or Successor Delaware Trustee shall accept appointment unless at the time of such acceptance, such Successor Property Trustee or Successor Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, shall be qualified and eligible under this Article.

(i) No Property Trustee or Delaware Trustee shall be liable for the acts or omissions to act of any Successor Property Trustee or Successor Delaware Trustee, as the case may be.

(j) Upon termination of this Declaration or the Trust or the removal or resignation of the Delaware Trustee or the Property Trustee, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 5.6, the Sponsor shall pay to such Trustee all amounts accrued and owing to such Trustee to the date of such termination, removal or resignation.

If a Trustee ceases to hold office for any reason and the number of Trustees is not reduced pursuant to Section 5.1, or if the number of Trustees is increased pursuant to Section 5.1, a vacancy shall occur. A resolution certifying the existence of such vacancy by the Regular Trustees or, if there are more than two, a majority of the Regular Trustees shall be conclusive evidence of the existence of such vacancy. The vacancy shall be filled with a Trustee appointed in accordance with Section 5.6.

The death, resignation, retirement, removal, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation, incompetence or incapacity to perform the duties of a Trustee shall not operate to annul the Trust. Whenever a vacancy in the number of Regular Trustees shall occur, until such vacancy is filled by the appointment of a Regular Trustee in accordance with Section 5.6, the Regular Trustees in office,

regardless of their number, shall have all the powers granted to the Regular Trustees and shall discharge all the duties imposed upon the Regular Trustees by this Declaration.

If there is more than one Regular Trustee, meetings of the Regular Trustees shall be held from time to time upon the call of any Regular Trustee. Regular meetings of the Regular Trustees may be held at a time and place fixed by resolution of the Regular Trustees. Notice of any in-person meetings of the Regular Trustees shall be hand delivered or otherwise delivered in writing (including by facsimile, with a hard copy by overnight courier) not less than 48 hours before such meeting. Notice of any telephonic meetings of the Regular Trustees or any committee thereof shall be hand delivered or otherwise delivered in writing (including by facsimile, with a hard copy by overnight courier) not less than 24 hours before a meeting. Notices shall contain a brief statement of the time, place and anticipated purposes of the meeting. The presence (whether in person or by telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in such meeting can hear each other) of a Regular Trustee at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting except where a Regular Trustee attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any activity on the ground that the meeting has not been lawfully called or convened. Unless provided otherwise in this Declaration, any action of the Regular Trustees may be taken at a meeting by vote of a majority of the Regular Trustees present (whether in person or by telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in such meeting can hear each other) and eligible to vote with respect to such matter, provided that a Quorum is present, or without a meeting by the unanimous written consent of the Regular Trustees. In the event there is only one Regular Trustee, any and all action of such Regular Trustee shall be evidenced by a written consent of such Regular Trustee.

(a) Any Regular Trustee may, by power of attorney consistent with applicable law, delegate to any other natural person over the age of 21 his or her power for the purpose of executing any documents contemplated in Section 3.10, including any registration statement or amendment thereto filed with the Commission, or making any other governmental filing.

(b) The Regular Trustees shall have power to delegate from time to time to such of their number or to officers of the Trust the doing of such things and the execution of such instruments either in the name of the Trust or the names of the Regular Trustees or otherwise as the Regular Trustees may deem expedient, to the extent such delegation is not prohibited by applicable law or contrary to the provisions of the Trust, as set forth herein.

(c) Unless an Indenture Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time and from time to time, for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of the Trust Indenture Act or of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Property may be then located, the Holder of the Trust Common Securities and the Regular Trustees shall have the power to appoint one or more Persons either to act as a co-trustee, jointly with the Property Trustee, of all or any part of the Trust Property, or to act as separate trustee of the Trust Property, in either case with such powers as may be provided in the instrument of appointment, and to vest in such Person or Persons in such capacity any property, title, right or power deemed necessary or desirable, subject

to the provisions of this Declaration. If an Indenture Default has occurred and is continuing, the Property Trustee alone shall have power to make such appointment.

Any Person into which the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, may be merged or converted or with which either may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, shall be a party, or any Person to which all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, may be sold or otherwise, shall be the successor of the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, hereunder, provided such Person shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Property Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Property Trustee may adopt such authentication deliver the Securities then authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Property Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities.

Distributions shall be made on the Trust Preferred Securities and the Trust Common Securities in accordance with the terms of the Trust Preferred Securities and the Trust Common Securities set forth in Annex I hereto. If and to the extent that the JSN Issuer makes a payment of interest (including Additional Interest (as defined in the Indenture)), the Property Trustee shall and is directed to make a distribution (a “Distribution”) to Holders in accordance with the applicable terms of the Securities set forth in Annex I hereto. If there is more than one Holder, the Property Trustee shall be entitled to receive a Company Order as to the amount each Holder is entitled to receive.

The Securities may be redeemed in accordance with the applicable terms of the Securities set forth in Annex I hereto.

(a) The Regular Trustees shall on behalf of the Trust issue one class of capital securities representing undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust having such terms as are set forth in Annex I (the “Trust Preferred Securities”) and one class of common securities representing undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust having such terms as are set forth in Annex I (the “Trust Common Securities”). The Trust shall issue no securities or other interests in the assets of the Trust other than the Trust Preferred Securities and the Trust Common Securities.

The Certificates shall be signed on behalf of the Trust by a Regular Trustee. Such signature shall be the manual or facsimile signature of any present or any future Regular Trustee. In case any Regular Trustee of the Trust who shall have signed any of the Securities shall cease to be such Regular Trustee before the Certificates so signed shall be delivered by the Trust, such Certificates nevertheless may be delivered as though the person who signed such Certificates had not ceased to be such Regular Trustee; and any Certificate may be signed on behalf of the Trust by such persons who, at the actual date of execution of such Security, shall be the Regular Trustees of the Trust, although at the date of the execution and delivery of the Declaration any such person was not such a Regular Trustee. The Certificates so executed shall be delivered to the Property Trustee and upon such delivery the Property Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order, authenticate either manually or by facsimile of the Sponsor such Certificates and deliver such Certificates upon the written order of the Sponsor, executed by an Authorized Officer thereof, without further corporate action by the Sponsor, in authorized denominations. Certificates shall be printed, lithographed or engraved or may be produced in any other manner as is reasonably acceptable to the Regular Trustees, as evidenced by their execution thereof, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such legends or endorsements as the Regular Trustees may deem (but which do not affect the rights, duties or responsibilities of the Property Trustee), or as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation of any stock exchange on which Securities may be listed, or to conform to usage. A Certificate representing Securities shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual or facsimile signature of an authorized officer of the Property Trustee. Such signature shall be conclusive evidence that such Certificate has been authenticated under this Declaration.

The Property Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Trust to authenticate Certificates. An authenticating agent may authenticate Certificates whenever the Property Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Declaration to authentication by the Property Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as the Property Trustee to deal with the Sponsor or an Affiliate of the Sponsor.

(b) The consideration received by the Trust for the issuance of the Securities shall constitute a contribution to the capital of the Trust and shall not constitute a loan to the Trust.

(c) Upon issuance of the Securities as provided in this Declaration, the Securities so issued shall be deemed to be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

(d) Every Person, by virtue of having become a Holder or a Trust Preferred Security Beneficial Owner in accordance with the terms of this Declaration, shall be deemed to have expressly assented and agreed to the terms of, and shall be bound by, this Declaration.

(ii) upon the filing of a certificate of dissolution or its equivalent with respect to the Sponsor; the revocation of the charter of the Sponsor and the expiration of 90 days after the date of revocation without a reinstatement thereof;

(iii) upon the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Sponsor or the Trust;

(iv) subject to obtaining any required regulatory approval, when all of the Securities have been called for redemption and the amounts necessary for redemption thereof have been paid to the Holders in accordance with the terms of the Securities;

(v) subject to obtaining any required regulatory approval, when the Trust shall have been dissolved in accordance with the terms of the Securities upon election by the Sponsor of its right to terminate the Trust and distribute all of the JSNs to the Holders of Securities in exchange for all of the Securities and all of the JSNs shall have been distributed to the Holders of Securities in accordance with such election; or

(vi) before the issuance of any Securities, with the consent of all of the Regular Trustees and the Sponsor.

(b) Except as contemplated by Section 8.2, as soon as is practicable after the occurrence of an event referred to in Section 8.1(a), and after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Trust as required by applicable law, including Section 3808 of the Statutory Trust Act, and subject to the terms set forth in Annex I, the Property Trustee, when notified in writing of the completion of the winding up of the Trust in accordance with the Statutory Trust Act, shall terminate the Trust by filing, at the expense and direction of the Sponsor, a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

(a) If an event specified in clauses (a)(i), (a)(ii), (a)(iii) or (a)(v) of Section 8.1 occurs, the Trust shall be wound up and liquidated by the Property Trustee as expeditiously as the Property Trustee determines to be possible by distributing, after paying or making reasonable provision to pay all claims and obligations of the Trust in accordance with Section 3808(e) of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, to each Holder a number of JSNs (the “Like Amount”) with an aggregate stated principal amount equal to the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the outstanding Securities and bearing accrued and unpaid interest in an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Distributions on such Securities, subject to Section 8.2(d). Notice of liquidation shall be provided by the Sponsor to the Property Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the date the Property Trustee proposes to mail the notice of liquidation. Notice of liquidation shall be given by the Property Trustee by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not later than 15 nor more than 45 days prior to the Liquidation Date to each Holder of Trust Securities at such Holder’s address appearing in the Securities Register. All notices of liquidation shall:

(ii) state that, from and after the Liquidation Date, the Securities will no longer be deemed to be outstanding and any Certificates not surrendered for exchange will be deemed to represent a Like Amount of JSNs; and

(iii) provide such information with respect to the mechanics by which Holders may exchange Certificates for JSNs, or if Section 8.2(d) applies, receive a Liquidation Distribution, as the Administrators or the Property Trustee shall deem appropriate.

(b) Except where Section 8.2(d) applies, in order to effect the liquidation of the Trust and distribution of the JSNs to Holders, the Property Trustee shall establish a record date for such distribution (which shall be not more than 30 days prior to the Liquidation Date) and, either itself acting as exchange agent or through the appointment of a separate exchange agent, shall establish such procedures as it shall deem appropriate to effect the distribution of JSNs in exchange for the outstanding Certificates.

(c) Except where Section 8.2(d) applies, after the Liquidation Date, (i) the Trust Preferred Securities and Trust Common Securities will no longer be deemed to be outstanding, (ii) the Clearing Agency for the Trust Preferred Securities or its nominee, as the registered holder of the Global Certificates, shall receive a registered Global Certificate or Global Certificates representing the JSNs to be delivered upon such distribution with respect to Trust Preferred Securities held by the Clearing Agency or its nominee, (iii) any Trust Preferred Securities Certificates not held by the Clearing Agency for the Trust Preferred Securities or its nominee as specified in clause (ii) above will be deemed to represent JSNs having a principal amount equal to the stated Liquidation Amount of the Trust Preferred Securities represented thereby and bearing accrued and unpaid interest in an amount equal to the accumulated and unpaid Distributions on such Trust Preferred Securities until such certificates are presented to the Securities Registrar for transfer or reissuance, and (iv) all rights of the Holders will cease, except the right to receive JSNs pursuant to Section 8.2(a).

(d) If, notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 8.2 distribution of the JSNs is not practical (whether because of an order for dissolution entered by a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise), or if any dissolution event specified in clause (a)(iv) of Section 8.1 occurs, the Trust shall be dissolved and wound up and the Trust Property shall be liquidated by the Property Trustee in such manner as the Property Trustee determines subject to the requirements of applicable law. In such event, on the date of the dissolution of the Trust, unless the Securities have been redeemed or are to be redeemed on such date pursuant to Article VI, Holders will be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Trust available for distribution to Holders, after paying or making reasonable provision to pay all claims and obligations of the Trust in accordance with Section 3808(e) of the Statutory Trust Act, an amount equal to the aggregate of Liquidation Amount per Security plus accumulated and unpaid Distributions thereon to but excluding the date of payment (such amount being the “Liquidation Distribution”). If, upon any such dissolution, the Liquidation Distribution can be paid only in part because the Trust has insufficient assets available to pay in full the aggregate Liquidation Distribution, then, subject to the next succeeding sentence, the amounts payable by the Trust on the Securities shall be paid on a pro rata basis (based upon Liquidation Amounts). The Holders of the Trust Common Securities will be entitled to receive Liquidation Distributions upon any such dissolution pro rata (determined as aforesaid) with

Holders of Trust Preferred Securities except that the Trust Preferred Securities shall have a priority over the Trust Common Securities.

(e) If Section 8.2(d) applies, then after the date of dissolution of the Trust pursuant to Section 8.2(d), (i) the Trust Preferred Securities and Trust Common Securities will no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and (ii) all rights of the Holders will cease, except the right to receive the Liquidation Distribution in accordance with Section 8.2(d).

(f) If JSNs are distributed to the Holders of Securities, the Sponsor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the JSNs to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange or on such other exchange as the Trust Preferred Securities were listed immediately prior to distribution of the JSNs.

(a) The Property Trustee shall designate, with the consent of the Regular Trustees, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, an office or offices or agency or agencies where Trust Preferred Security Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Trustees in respect of the Trust Preferred Security Certificates and the Trust Common Security Certificates may be served (the “Corporate Trust Office”). The Property Trustee initially designates its Corporate Trust Office at 101 Barclay Street, Floor 8 West, New York, NY 10286, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, as its Corporate Trust Office for such purposes, which Corporate Trust Office the Regular Trustees hereby consent to. The Property Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Sponsor, the Regular Trustees and to the Holders of any change in the location of any such office or agency. The Sponsor may at any time rescind or approve a change in the designation of or the location of the Corporate Trust Office. However, the Trust will be required to maintain a Corporate Trust Office.

(b) The Property Trustee shall act as the registrar and transfer agent (the “Securities Registrar”) for the purpose of registering the Securities and transfers and exchanges of the Securities. The Property Trustee shall keep or cause to be kept at its Corporate Trust Office a register or registers for the purpose of registering Trust Preferred Security Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Trust Preferred Security Certificates in which the registrar and transfer agent with respect to the Trust Preferred Securities (the “Securities Register”), subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, shall provide for the registration of Trust Preferred Security Certificates and Trust Common Security Certificates and registration of transfers and exchanges of Trust Preferred Security Certificates as herein provided.

(c) Securities may only be transferred, in whole or in part, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Declaration and in the terms of the Securities. Any transfer or purported transfer of any Security not made in accordance with this Declaration shall be null and void to the fullest extent permitted by law.

(d) Securities may be exchanged for other Securities of the same type and with the same aggregate Liquidation Amount and same terms as the Securities surrendered for exchange.

(e) Subject to this Article IX, Trust Preferred Securities shall be freely transferable.

(f) Subject to this Article IX, the Sponsor and any Related Party may only transfer Trust Common Securities to the Sponsor or a Related Party of the Sponsor; provided, that any such transfer is subject to the condition precedent that the transferor obtain the written opinion of nationally recognized counsel experienced in such matters that such transfer would not cause more than an insubstantial risk that:

(i) the Trust would not be classified for United States federal income tax purposes as a grantor trust; and

(ii) the Trust would be an Investment Company or the transferee would become an Investment Company.

To the fullest extend permitted by law, any attempted transfer of the Trust Common Securities, other than as set forth in this clause (e), shall be void. The Regular Trustees shall cause each Trust Common Securities Certificate issued to the Sponsor to contain the following legend:

“THIS CERTIFICATE IS NOT TRANSFERABLE EXCEPT TO THE SPONSOR OR AN AFFILIATE OF THE SPONSOR IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW AND SECTION 9.1 OF THE DECLARATION.”

(g) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Property Trustee shall cause one or more new Certificates to be issued in the name of the designated transferee or transferees. Every Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Property Trustee duly executed by the Holder or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer shall be canceled by the Property Trustee. A transferee of a Certificate shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Holder hereunder upon the receipt by such transferee of a Certificate. By acceptance of a Certificate, each transferee shall be deemed to have agreed to be bound by this Declaration.

(h) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer of Securities or any exchange, but the Trust may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration or transfer of Securities.

(i) All Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Trust, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Declaration, as the Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

(j) Neither the Trust nor the Property Trustee shall be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Security during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days

before the day of selection for redemption of Securities and ending at the close of business on the day of mailing of a notice of redemption or to transfer or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any Security to be redeemed in part, any portion thereof not to be redeemed.

The Trustees may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate shall be registered on the books and records of the Trust as the sole holder of such Certificate and of the Securities represented by such Certificate for purposes of receiving Distributions and for all other purposes whatsoever and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Certificate or in the Securities represented by such Certificate on the part of any Person, whether or not the Trust shall have actual or other notice thereof.

Unless otherwise specified in the terms of the Trust Preferred Securities, the Trust Preferred Securities Certificates, on original issuance, will be issued in the form of one or more, fully registered, global Trust Preferred Security Certificates (each a “Global Certificate”), to be delivered to DTC, the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Trust. Such Global Certificates shall initially be registered on the books and records of the Trust in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of DTC, and no Trust Preferred Security Beneficial Owner will receive a definitive Trust Preferred Security Certificate representing such Trust Preferred Security Beneficial Owner’s interests in such Global Certificates, except as provided in Section 9.6. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Trust Preferred Security Certificates (the “Definitive Trust Preferred Security Certificates”) have been issued to the Trust Preferred Security Beneficial Owners pursuant to Section 9.6:

(b) the Trust and the Trustees shall be entitled to deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes of this Declaration (including the payment of Distributions or Liquidation Distributions on the Global Certificates and receiving approvals, votes or consents hereunder) as the Holder of the Trust Preferred Securities and the sole holder of the Global Certificates and shall have no obligation to the Trust Preferred Security Beneficial Owners;

(c) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 9.3 conflict with any other provisions of this Declaration, the provisions of this Section 9.3 shall control; and

(d) the rights of the Trust Preferred Security Beneficial Owners shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Trust Preferred Security Beneficial Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants.

Whenever a notice or other communication to the Trust Preferred Security Holders is required under this Declaration, unless and until Definitive Trust Preferred Security Certificates shall have been issued to the Trust Preferred Security Beneficial Owners pursuant to Section 9.6, the Trustees

shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to the Trust Preferred Security Holders to the Clearing Agency, and shall have no notice obligations to the Trust Preferred Security Beneficial Owners.

If any Clearing Agency elects to discontinue its services as a securities depositary with respect to the Trust Preferred Securities, the Regular Trustees may, in their sole discretion, appoint a successor Clearing Agency with respect to such Trust Preferred Securities.

(a) a Clearing Agency elects to discontinue its services as a securities depositary with respect to the Trust Preferred Securities and a successor Clearing Agency is not appointed within 90 days after such discontinuance pursuant to Section 9.5; or

(b) the Regular Trustees elect after consultation with the Sponsor to terminate the book entry system through the Clearing Agency with respect to the Trust Preferred Securities,

(c) Definitive Trust Preferred Security Certificates shall be prepared by the Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust with respect to such Trust Preferred Securities; and

(d) upon surrender of the Global Certificates by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Regular Trustees shall cause Definitive Trust Preferred Security Certificates to be delivered to Trust Preferred Security Beneficial Owners in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. Neither the Trustees nor the Trust shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and each of them may conclusively rely on and shall be protected in relying on, said instructions of the Clearing Agency. The Definitive Trust Preferred Security Certificates shall be printed, lithographed or engraved or may be produced in any other manner as is reasonably acceptable to the Regular Trustees, as evidenced by their execution thereof, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such legends or endorsements as the Regular Trustees may deem appropriate (but in no event will such legends or other endorsements affect the rights, duties or immunities of the Trustees), or as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any stock exchange on which Trust Preferred Securities may be listed, or to conform to usage.

A single Trust Common Security Certificate representing the Trust Common Securities shall be issued to the Sponsor in the form of a definitive Trust Common Security Certificate.

(a) any mutilated Certificates should be surrendered to the Property Trustee, or if the Property Trustee shall receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate; and

(b) there shall be delivered to the Property Trustee such evidence of loss and such security or indemnity as may be required by it to keep each of the Trustees, the Sponsor and the Trust harmless;

then, in the absence of notice that such Certificate shall have been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Property Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like denomination. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 9.8, the Property Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 9.8 shall constitute conclusive evidence of an ownership interest in the relevant Securities, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

(a) Except as expressly set forth in this Declaration, the Trust Preferred Securities Guarantee and the terms of the Securities, the Sponsor and the Trustees shall not be:

(i) personally liable for the return of any portion of the capital contributions (or any return thereon) of the Holders of the Securities, which shall be made solely from assets of the Trust; and

(ii) required to pay to the Trust or to any Holder of Securities any deficit upon dissolution of the Trust or otherwise.

(b) The Holder of the Trust Common Securities shall be liable for all of the debts and obligations of the Trust (other than with respect to the Securities) to the extent not satisfied out of the Trust’s assets.

(c) Pursuant to § 3803(a) of the Statutory Trust Act, the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities shall be entitled to the same limitation of personal liability extended to stockholders of private corporations for profit organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

(a) No Indemnified Person shall be liable, responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Trust or any Covered Person for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Indemnified Person in good faith on behalf of the Trust and in a manner such Indemnified Person reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such Indemnified Person by this Declaration or by law, except that an Indemnified Person shall be liable for any such loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions.

(b) An Indemnified Person shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Trust and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Trust by any Person as to matters the Indemnified Person reasonably believes are within such other Person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Trust, including information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value and amount of the assets, liabilities, profits, losses, or any other facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which Distributions to Holders of Securities might properly be paid.

(a) To the extent that, at law or in equity, an Indemnified Person has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Trust or to any other Covered Person, an Indemnified Person acting under this Declaration shall not be liable to the Trust or to any other Covered Person for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Declaration. The provisions of this Declaration, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties and liabilities of an Indemnified Person otherwise existing at law or in equity (other than the duties imposed on the Property Trustee under the Trust Indenture Act), are agreed by the parties hereto to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Indemnified Person.

(i) whenever a conflict of interest exists or arises between any Covered Persons; or

(ii) whenever this Declaration or any other agreement contemplated herein or therein provides that an Indemnified Person shall act in a manner that is, or provides terms that are, fair and reasonable to the Trust or any Holder of Securities,

the Indemnified Person shall resolve such conflict of interest, take such action or provide such terms, considering in each case the relative interest of each party (including its own interest) to such conflict, agreement, transaction or situation and the benefits and burdens relating to such interests, any customary or accepted industry practices, and any applicable generally accepted accounting practices or principles. In the absence of bad faith by the Indemnified Person, the resolution, action or term so made, taken or provided by the Indemnified Person shall not constitute a breach of this Declaration or any other agreement contemplated herein or of any duty or obligation of the Indemnified Person at law or in equity or

otherwise. In the event the Indemnified Person believes any ambiguity or uncertainty exists hereunder, the Indemnified Person may, in its sole discretion, refrain from taking any action, and shall be fully protected and not liable in any way to any person or entity for refraining from taking such action, unless the Indemnified Person receives written instructions signed by an Authorized Officer of the Sponsor which eliminates such ambiguity or uncertainty to the satisfaction of the Indemnified Person.

(i) in its “discretion” or under a grant of similar authority, the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to consider such interests and factors as it desires, including its own interests, and shall have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Trust or any other Person; or

(ii) in its “good faith” or under another express standard, the Indemnified Person shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standard imposed by this Declaration or by applicable law.

(a) (i) The JSN Issuer shall indemnify, to the full extent permitted by law, any Company Indemnified Person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Trust) by reason of the fact that he is or was a Company Indemnified Person against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Trust, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Company Indemnified Person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Trust, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

(ii) The JSN Issuer shall indemnify, to the full extent permitted by law, any Company Indemnified Person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Trust to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a Company Indemnified Person against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Trust and except that no such indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such Company Indemnified Person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Trust unless and only to the extent that the Court of

Chancery of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

(iii) To the extent that a Company Indemnified Person shall be successful on the merits or otherwise (including dismissal of an action without prejudice or the settlement of an action without admission of liability) in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section 10.4(a), or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified, to the full extent permitted by law, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

(iv) Any indemnification under paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section 10.4(a) (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the JSN Issuer only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the Company Indemnified Person is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in paragraphs (i) and (ii). Such determination shall be made (1) by the Regular Trustees by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of such Regular Trustees who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, (2) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, if a quorum of disinterested Regular Trustees so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the Trust Common Security Holder of the Trust.

(v) Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a Company Indemnified Person in defending a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding referred to in paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section 10.4(a) shall be paid by the JSN Issuer in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Company Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the JSN Issuer as authorized in this Section 10.4(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no advance shall be made by the JSN Issuer if a determination is reasonably and promptly made (i) by the Regular Trustees by a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested Regular Trustees, (ii) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, if a quorum of disinterested Regular Trustees so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion or (iii) the Trust Common Security Holder of the Trust, that, based upon the facts known to the Regular Trustees, counsel or the Trust Common Security Holder at the time such determination is made, such Company Indemnified Person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Trust, or, with respect to any criminal proceeding, that such Company Indemnified Person believed or had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. In no event shall any advance be made in instances where the Regular Trustees, independent legal counsel or Trust Common Security Holder reasonably determine that such person deliberately breached his duty to the Trust or its Common or Trust Preferred Security Holders.

(vi) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other paragraphs of this Section 10.4(a) shall not be deemed

exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification and advancement of expenses may be entitled under any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors of the JSN Issuer or Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. All rights to indemnification under this Section 10.4(a) shall be deemed to be provided by a contract between the JSN Issuer and each Company Indemnified Person who serves in such capacity at any time while this Section 10.4(a) is in effect. Any repeal or modification of this Section 10.4(a) shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing.

(vii) The JSN Issuer may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a Company Indemnified Person against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the JSN Issuer would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Section 10.4(a).

(viii) For purposes of this Section 10.4(a), references to “the Trust” shall include, in addition to the resulting or surviving entity, any constituent entity (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger, so that any person who is or was a director, trustee, officer or employee of such constituent entity, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent entity as a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of another entity, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Section 10.4(a) with respect to the resulting or surviving entity as he would have with respect to such constituent entity if its separate existence had continued.

(ix) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section 10.4(a) shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Company Indemnified Person and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

(b) The Sponsor agrees to pay (i) all debts and other obligations of the Trust (other than with respect to the Securities), (ii) all costs and expenses of the Trust (including costs and expenses relating to the organization and operation of the Trust), (iii) the Property Trustee and the Delaware Trustee from time to time such reasonable compensation for services rendered by each hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust); (iv) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Property Trustee and the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, upon their request for all reasonable costs and expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee incurred or made by any provision of this Declaration (including the reasonable costs of collection, and the reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements of their counsel, accountants and experts), except any such expense, disbursements or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith; (v) to indemnify (A) the Property Trustee, (B) the Delaware Trustee, (C) any Affiliate of the Property Trustee and the Delaware Trustee, and (D) any officers, directors, stockholders, members, partners, employees, representatives, custodians, nominees or agents of the Property Trustee and the Delaware Trustee (each of the Persons in (A) through (D) being referred to as a “Fiduciary Indemnified Person”) for, and to hold each Fiduciary Indemnified Person harmless against, any loss, damage, claim, liability or expense (including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of the Property

Trustee’s and the Delaware Trustee’s agents and counsel) of any kind and nature incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Trust or the performance of their duties hereunder, including but not limited to the costs and expenses (including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of the Property Trustee’s and the Delaware Trustee’s agents and counsel) of defending itself against or investigating any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder ; and (vi) any and all taxes and costs and expenses with respect thereto (other than United States withholding taxes) which the Trust becomes subject to. The obligations of the JSN Issuer as set forth in this Section 10.4(b) shall survive the resignation or removal of the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, and the satisfaction and discharge of this Declaration.

Any Covered Person, the Sponsor, the Delaware Trustee and the Property Trustee may engage in or possess an interest in other business ventures of any nature or description, independently or with others, similar or dissimilar to the business of the Trust, and the Trust and the Holders of Securities shall have no rights by virtue of this Declaration in and to such independent ventures or the income or profits derived therefrom, and the pursuit of any such venture, even if competitive with the business of the Trust, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper. No Covered Person, the Sponsor, the Delaware Trustee, or the Property Trustee shall be obligated to present any particular investment or other opportunity to the Trust even if such opportunity is of a character that, if presented to the Trust, could be taken by the Trust, and any Covered Person, the Sponsor, the Delaware Trustee and the Property Trustee shall have the right to take for its own account (individually or as a partner or fiduciary) or to recommend to others any such particular investment or other opportunity. Any Covered Person, the Delaware Trustee and the Property Trustee may engage or be interested in any financial or other transaction with the Sponsor or any Affiliate of the Sponsor, or may act as depositary for, trustee or agent for, or act on any committee or body of holders of, securities or other obligations of the Sponsor or its Affiliates.

Any Trustee, any authenticating agent, any Paying Agent, any Securities Registrar or any other agent of the Sponsor, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to compliance with Sections 310(b), 311(a) and 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, may otherwise deal with the Sponsor with the same rights it would have if it were not a Trustee, authenticating agent, Paying Agent, Securities Registrar or such other agent.

The fiscal year (“Fiscal Year”) of the Trust shall be the calendar year, or such other year as is required by the Code.

(a) At all times during the existence of the Trust, the Regular Trustees shall keep, or cause to be kept, full books of account, records and supporting documents, which shall reflect in reasonable detail, each transaction of the Trust. The books of account shall be maintained on the accrual method of accounting, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied. The Trust shall use the accrual method of accounting for United States federal income tax purposes. The books of account and the records of the Trust shall be examined by and reported upon as of the end of each Fiscal Year of the Trust by a firm of independent certified public accountants selected by the Regular Trustees.

(b) The Regular Trustees shall cause to be prepared and delivered to each of the Holders of Securities, to the extent, if any, required by the Trust Indenture Act, within 90 days after the end of each Fiscal Year of the Trust, annual financial statements of the Trust, including a balance sheet of the Trust as of the end of such Fiscal Year, and the related statements of income or loss.

(c) The Regular Trustees shall cause to be duly prepared and delivered to each of the Holders of Securities, any annual United States federal income tax information statement required by the Code, containing such information with regard to the Securities held by each Holder as is required by the Code and the Treasury Regulations. Notwithstanding any right under the Code to deliver any such statement at a later date, the Regular Trustees shall endeavor to deliver all such statements within 30 days after the end of each Fiscal Year of the Trust.

(d) The Regular Trustees shall cause to be duly prepared and filed with the appropriate taxing authority, an annual United States federal income tax return, on a Form 1041 or such other form required by United States federal income tax law, and any other annual income tax returns required to be filed by the Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust with any state or local taxing authority.

The Trust shall maintain one or more bank accounts in the name and for the sole benefit of the Trust; provided, however, that all payments of funds in respect of the JSNs held by the Property Trustee shall be made directly to the Property Trustee Account and no other funds of the Trust shall be deposited in the Property Trustee Account. The sole signatories for such accounts shall be designated by the Regular Trustees; provided, however, that the Property Trustee shall designate the signatories for the Property Trustee Account.

The Trust and the Regular Trustees shall comply with all withholding requirements under United States federal, state and local law. The Trust shall request, and the Holders shall provide to the Trust, such forms or certificates as are necessary to establish an exemption from withholding with respect to each Holder, and any representations and forms as shall reasonably be requested by the Trust to assist it in determining the extent of, and in fulfilling, its withholding obligations. The Regular Trustees shall file required forms with applicable jurisdictions and, unless an exemption from withholding is properly established by a Holder, shall remit amounts

withheld with respect to the Holder to applicable jurisdictions. To the extent that the Trust is required to withhold and pay over any amounts to any authority with respect to distributions or allocations to any Holder, the amount withheld shall be deemed to be a distribution in the amount of the withholding to the Holder. In the event of any claimed overwithholding, Holders shall be limited to an action against the applicable jurisdiction. If the amount required to be withheld was not withheld from actual Distributions made, the Trust may reduce subsequent Distributions by the amount of such withholding.

(a) This Declaration may be amended from time to time by the Regular Trustees and the Holders of the Trust Common Securities without the consent of the Holders of the Securities, the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee to:

(ii) correct or supplement any provision in this Declaration that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision of this Declaration;

(iii) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Declaration, which may not be inconsistent with the other provisions of this Declaration, unless such amendment will materially and adversely affect the interests of any Holder of Trust Preferred Securities, the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee or impose any additional duty or obligation on the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee;

(iv) modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of this Declaration to such extent as shall be necessary to ensure that the Trust will be classified for United States federal income tax purposes as a grantor trust at all times that any Securities are outstanding, to ensure that the Trust will not be required to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act or to ensure the treatment of the Trust Preferred Securities as Tier 1 capital under prevailing Federal Reserve rules and regulations, unless such amendment will materially and adversely affect the interests of any Holder of Trust Preferred Securities, the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee or impose any additional duty or obligation on the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee;

(v) provide the Trust Preferred Security Certificates may be executed by a Regular Trustee by facsimile signature instead of manual signature, in which case such amendment(s) shall also provide for the appointment by the Sponsor of an authentication agent and certain related provisions;

(vi) require that Holders that are not United States persons for United States federal income tax purposes irrevocably appoint a United States person to exercise any voting rights to ensure that the Trust will not be treated as a foreign trust for United States federal income tax purposes;

(vii) conform the terms of this Declaration to the description of the Declaration and the Securities in the prospectus supplement filed with the Commission in connection with the offer and sale of the Trust Preferred Securities;

(ix) to conform to any change in Rule 3a-5 or Rule 3a-7 or written change in interpretation or application of Rule 3a-5 or Rule 3a-7 by any legislative body, court, government agency or regulatory authority which amendment does not have a material adverse effect on the right, preferences or privileges of the Holders; or

(x) to modify, eliminate or add to any provision of the Declaration to such extent as may be reasonably necessary to effectuate any of the foregoing or to otherwise comply with applicable law.

(b) Except as provided in Section 12.1(c), this Declaration may be amended from time to time by the Regular Trustees and the Holders of the Trust Common Securities with:

(i) the consent of Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Preferred Securities affected by the amendments; and

(ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Trustees in accordance with such amendment will not affect the Trust’s status as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes or affect the Trust’s exemption from status as an Investment Company under the Investment Company Act.

(c) In addition to and notwithstanding any other provision of this Declaration, this Declaration may not be amended without the consent of each affected Holder of Securities to:

(i) change the amount or timing, or otherwise adversely affect the amount, of any Distribution required to be made in respect of Securities as of a specified date; or

(ii) restrict the right of a Holder to institute a suit for the enforcement of any payment of a Distribution on or after a specified date.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Declaration to the contrary, this Declaration may not be amended to the extent the result of such amendment would be to:

(i) cause the Trust to fail to continue to be classified for purposes of United States federal income taxation as a grantor trust;

(ii) reduce or otherwise adversely affect the powers of the Property Trustee in contravention of the Trust Indenture Act;

(iii) cause the Trust to be deemed to be an Investment Company required to be registered under the Investment Company Act; or

(iv) affect the rights, powers, duties, obligations or immunities of the Delaware Trustee unless such amendment has been approved in a written instrument executed by the Delaware Trustee.

(v) affect the rights, powers, duties, obligations or immunities of the Property Trustee unless such amendment has been approved in a written instrument executed by the Property Trustee.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Declaration to the contrary, no amendment to this Declaration shall be made, and any such purported amendment shall be void and ineffective unless the Property Trustee shall have first received:

(i) an Officers’ Certificate from each of the Trust and the Sponsor conforming to the requirements of Section 2.7 and stating that such amendment is permitted by, and conforms to, the terms of this Declaration (including the terms of the Securities) and that all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of such amendment have been satisfied; and

(ii) an Opinion of Counsel conforming to the requirements of Section 2.7 and stating that such amendment is permitted by, and conforms to, the terms of this Declaration (including the terms of the Securities) and that all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of such amendment have been satisfied.

(f) Any amendment to this Declaration pursuant to Section 12.1(a) shall become effective when notice thereof is given to the Property Trust, the Delaware Trustee and the Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities.

(g) Every amendment to this Declaration executed pursuant to this Article shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect.

(a) Meetings of the Holders of any class of Securities may be called at any time by the Property Trustee (or as provided in the terms of the Securities) if so directed by the Holders pursuant to this Section 12.2 to consider and act on any matter on which Holders of such class of Securities are entitled to act under the terms of this Declaration, the terms of the Securities or the rules of any stock exchange on which the Trust Preferred Securities are listed or admitted for trading. The Property Trustee shall call a meeting of the Holders of such class if directed to do so for any proper purpose by the Holders of Securities representing at least 10% in Liquidation Amount of such class of Securities. Such direction shall be given by delivering to the Property Trustee a writing stating that the signing Holders of Securities wish to call a meeting and indicating the general or specific purpose for which the meeting is to be called. Such writing shall be delivered to the Property Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the date the Property Trustee proposes to mail to Holders the notice of the meeting of Holders as required by Section 12.2(b)(i). Any Holders of Securities calling a meeting shall specify in writing the Security Certificates held by the Holders of Securities exercising the right to call a meeting and only those Securities specified shall be counted for purposes of determining whether the required percentage set forth in the second sentence of this paragraph has been met.

(b) Except to the extent otherwise provided in the terms of the Securities, the following provisions shall apply to meetings of Holders of Securities:

(i) notice of any such meeting shall be given to all the Holders of Securities having a right to vote thereat at least seven days and not more than 60 days before the date of such meeting. Whenever a vote, consent or approval of the Holders of Securities is permitted or required under this Declaration or the rules of any stock exchange on which the Trust Preferred Securities are listed or admitted for trading, such vote, consent or approval may be given at a meeting of the Holders of Securities. Any action that may be taken at a meeting of the Holders of Securities may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing setting forth the action so taken is signed by the Holders of Securities owning not less than the minimum amount of Securities in Liquidation Amount that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all Holders of Securities having a right to vote thereon were present and voting. Prompt notice of the taking of action without a meeting shall be given to the Holders of Securities entitled to vote who have not consented in writing. The Property Trustee may specify that any written ballot submitted to the Security Holder for the purpose of taking any action without a meeting shall be returned to the Trust within the time specified by the Property Trustee;

(ii) each Holder of a Security may authorize any Person to act for it by proxy on all matters in which a Holder of Securities is entitled to participate, including waiving notice of any meeting, or voting or participating at a meeting. No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of 11 months from the date thereof unless otherwise provided in the proxy. Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the Holder of Securities executing it. Except as otherwise provided herein, all matters relating to the giving, voting or validity of proxies shall be governed by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware relating to proxies, and judicial interpretations thereunder, as if the Trust were a Delaware corporation and the Holders of the Securities were stockholders of a Delaware corporation;

(iii) each meeting of the Holders of the Securities shall be conducted by the Property Trustee or by such other Person that the Property Trustee may designate; and

(iv) unless the Statutory Trust Act, this Declaration, the terms of the Securities, the Trust Indenture Act or the listing rules of any stock exchange on which the Trust Preferred Securities are then listed or trading, otherwise provides, the Property Trustee, in their sole discretion, shall establish all other provisions relating to meetings of Holders of Securities, including notice of the time, place or purpose of any meeting at which any matter is to be voted on by any Holders of Securities, waiver of any such notice, action by consent without a meeting, the establishment of a record date, quorum requirements, voting in person or by proxy or any other matter with respect to the exercise of any such right to vote.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Declaration to be given, made or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments is or

are delivered to the appropriate Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Sponsor. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Declaration and (subject to Sections 3.12 and 3.14) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Sponsor, if made in the manner provided in this Section.
