So long as DTC, or its nominee, is the registered owner or holder of a global certificate, DTC or such nominee, as the<br />
case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the trust preferred securities represented thereby for all<br />
purposes under the trust agreement and the trust preferred securities. No beneficial owner of an interest in a global<br />
certificate will be able to transfer that interest except in accordance with DTC's applicable procedures, in addition to those<br />
provided for under the trust agreement.<br />
S- 50<br />
DTC has advised <strong>Holding</strong> and the LLC that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of trust preferred<br />
securities (including the presentation of trust preferred securities for exchange as described below) only at the direction of<br />
one or more participants to whose account the DTC interests in the Global Certificates are credited and only in respect of<br />
such portion of the aggregate liquidation amount of trust preferred securities as to which such participant or participants has<br />
or have given such direction.<br />
Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to participants, by participants to indirect participants, and<br />
by participants and indirect participants to beneficial owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any<br />
statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.<br />
Redemption notices in respect of the trust preferred securities held in book- entry form will be sent to Cede & Co. and<br />
provided in the manner indicated under "General Euronext Listing Information—Notices." If less than all of the trust preferred<br />
securities are being redeemed, DTC will determine the amount of the interest of each participant to be redeemed in<br />
accordance with its procedures.<br />
Although voting with respect to the trust preferred securities is limited, in those cases where a vote is required, neither<br />
DTC nor Cede & Co. will itself consent or vote with respect to trust preferred securities. Under its usual procedures, DTC<br />
would mail an Omnibus Proxy to the <strong>Trust</strong> as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede &<br />
Co.'s consenting or voting rights of those participants to whose accounts the trust preferred securities are allocated on the<br />
record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).<br />
Distributions on the trust preferred securities held in book- entry form will be made to DTC in immediately available<br />
funds. DTC's practice is to credit participants' accounts on the relevant payment date in accordance with their respective<br />
holdings shown on DTC's records unless DTC has reason to believe that it will not receive payments on such payment<br />
date. Payments by participants and indirect participants to beneficial owners will be governed by standing instructions and<br />
customary practices and will be the responsibility of such participants and indirect participants and not of DTC, the <strong>Trust</strong> or<br />
the guarantor, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of any<br />
distributions to DTC is the responsibility of the <strong>Trust</strong>, disbursement of such payments to participants is the responsibility of<br />
DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the beneficial owners is the responsibility of participants and indirect<br />
participants.<br />
Except as described herein, a beneficial owner of an interest in a global certificate will not be entitled to receive<br />
physical delivery of trust preferred securities. Accordingly, each beneficial owner must rely on the procedures of DTC to<br />
exercise any rights under the trust preferred securities.<br />
A global certificate is exchangeable for trust preferred securities in registered certificated form if (i) DTC (x) notifies the<br />
<strong>Trust</strong> that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the global certificates and the <strong>Trust</strong> thereupon fails to appoint<br />
a successor depositary or (y) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, or (ii) there shall<br />
have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default or any event which after notice or lapse of time or both would be an<br />
Event of Default under the guarantees. In all cases, certificated trust preferred securities delivered in exchange for any<br />
global certificate or beneficial interests therein will be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations,<br />
requested by or on behalf of the depositary (in accordance with its customary procedures) and will bear a legend related to<br />
the acceptance of the guarantees by the holder.<br />
Although DTC, Clearstream and Euroclear have agreed to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of<br />
interests in the global certificates among participants, none of them is under any obligation to perform or continue to perform<br />
such procedures, and such procedures may be discontinued at any time. Neither <strong>Holding</strong> nor the <strong>Trust</strong> will have any<br />
responsibility for the<br />
S- 51<br />
performance by DTC or its participants or indirect participants under the rules and procedures governing DTC, Clearstream<br />
or Euroclear. DTC, Clearstream and Euroclear may discontinue providing their services as securities depositary with<br />
respect to the trust preferred securities at any time by giving notice to the <strong>Trust</strong>. Under such circumstances, in the event that<br />
a successor securities depositary is not obtained, trust preferred security certificates are required to be printed and<br />
delivered to the property trustee. Additionally, the <strong>Trust</strong> may decide to discontinue use of the system of book- entry transfers<br />
through DTC, Clearstream or Euroclear or any successor depositary. In that event, certificates for the trust preferred
