federal income tax purposes. In this connection, the regular trustees are authorized to take any action, not inconsistent with<br />

applicable law, the certificate of trust or the trust agreement that the regular trustees determine in their discretion to be<br />

necessary or desirable for such purposes as long as such action does not adversely affect the interests of the holders of<br />

the trust preferred securities.<br />

DESCRIPTION OF THE PERPETUAL NON- CUMULATIVE CAPITAL SECURITIES<br />

The following summary sets forth the material terms and provisions of the perpetual non- cumulative capital securities.<br />

The perpetual non- cumulative capital securities will be issued pursuant to an indenture, a form of which has been filed as<br />

an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus are a part.<br />

General<br />

The Bank will undertake, upon the occurrence of a Regulatory Event, to exchange the trust preferred securities for<br />

perpetual non- cumulative capital securities having equivalent liquidation preference, rights and restrictions in all material<br />

respects to the rights and restrictions of the trust preferred securities.<br />

The perpetual non- cumulative capital securities are intended to provide the holders thereof, as nearly as possible,<br />

with rights to payments, and on liquidation, equivalent to those to which the holders thereof would be entitled to if they held<br />

parity preferred shares of the Bank.<br />

The perpetual non- cumulative capital securities will be issued in fully registered form without coupons. The perpetual<br />

non- cumulative capital securities will not be issued in bearer form.<br />

The payment of distributions by the Bank are irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed by <strong>Holding</strong> as described<br />

under "Description of the Guarantees and the Contingent Guarantee." The guarantee of the perpetual non- cumulative<br />

capital securities will be held by BNY Midwest <strong>Trust</strong> Company, the guarantee trustee, for the benefit of the holders of the<br />

perpetual non- cumulative capital securities.<br />

The perpetual non- cumulative capital securities will be governed by New York law.<br />

Dist ribut ions<br />

The distribution rate on the perpetual non- cumulative capital securities will be fixed at an annual rate of 5.90% of the<br />

liquidation preference of $25.00 per perpetual non- cumulative capital securities (equivalent to $1.475 per annum per<br />

perpetual non- cumulative capital securities). Distributions on the perpetual non- cumulative capital securities will be payable<br />

quarterly in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December, commencing on the next distribution<br />

payment date after the trust preferred securities have been exchanged for the perpetual non- cumulative capital securities.<br />

Distributions will not be cumulative. The amount of distributions payable for any period will be computed on the basis of a<br />

360- day year of twelve 30- day months. The rate at which distributions will be payable for each full distribution period will be<br />

computed by dividing the annual rate by four.<br />

Subject to applicable law, the Bank's obligations under the perpetual non- cumulative capital securities will constitute<br />

unsecured obligations of the Bank and will rank (i) subordinate and junior to indebtedness of the Bank (other than any<br />

guarantee or contractual right expressed to rank pari passu with or junior to the perpetual non- cumulative capital securities),<br />

(ii) pari passu with each other, and, effectively, with any of the Bank's most senior ranking preferred or preference shares (if<br />

any are then outstanding) and (iii) senior to the Bank's ordinary shares.<br />

Distributions on the perpetual non- cumulative capital securities will be payable to the holders thereof as they appear<br />

after the exchange on the books and records of the Bank on the relevant record dates, which will be one business day prior<br />

to the relevant distribution payment date or other distribution date. Subject to any applicable laws and regulations, each<br />

such payment will be made in book- entry form as described under "Description of the <strong>Trust</strong> Securities—Book- Entry Only<br />

Issuance". In the event that the perpetual non- cumulative capital securities do not remain in book- entry only form, the<br />

relevant record dates shall be the 15th day of the month of the relevant distribution payment<br />

S- 54<br />

date. In the event that any date on which distributions are payable on the perpetual non- cumulative capital securities is not<br />

a business day, payment of the distributions payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a<br />

business day (without any interest or other payment in respect of the dividends subject to such delay), except that, if such<br />

business day is in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding<br />

business day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on such date. "Business day" means any day on<br />

which commercial and foreign exchange markets settle payments in London, New York and Amsterdam.
