dividend period to the date of the final distribution of assets of the LLC, in respect of each LLC preferred security held out of<br />

the assets of the LLC available for distribution to shareholders. Such entitlement will arise following the liquidation distribution<br />

of intercompany securities to holders of the LLC common securities. In addition, the guarantee independent director shall<br />

enforce the contingent guarantee solely for the benefit of the holders of the LLC preferred securities and, solely with respect<br />

to the contingent distribution, the LLC preferred securities will rank senior to the LLC common securities.<br />

Because the holders of the common securities will be entitled to receive as their liquidation distribution the<br />

intercompany securities, it is anticipated that the LLC preferred securities holders' claim in liquidation, equal to the<br />

liquidation preference of $25.00 per security plus accumulated but unpaid interest, will be required to be satisfied under the<br />

terms of the guarantee.<br />

The LLC agreement will provide that, in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, termination or<br />

winding up of <strong>Holding</strong> or the Bank, the LLC shall be liquidated automatically, provided that the LLC shall, to the fullest extent<br />

permitted by law, not be dissolved until all claims under the guarantees and the contingent guarantee shall have been paid<br />

in full pursuant to the terms of the guarantees and the contingent guarantee, and the contingent distribution, if any, shall have<br />

been made.<br />

Merger, Consolidat ion or Amalgamat ion of t he LLC<br />

The LLC may not consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or be replaced by, or convey, transfer or lease its<br />

properties and assets substantially as an entirety to, any corporation or other body, except as described below or<br />

elsewhere herein. The LLC may, without the consent of the holders of the LLC preferred securities, consolidate,<br />

amalgamate, merge with or into, or be replaced by a limited partnership, limited liability company or trust organized as<br />

such under the laws of any state of the United States of America, provided that:<br />

• such successor entity either (x) expressly assumes all of the obligations of the LLC under the LLC preferred<br />

securities or (y) substitutes for the LLC preferred securities other securities having substantially the same terms<br />

as the LLC preferred securities (which we will call the "LLC successor securities") so long as these LLC<br />

successor securities are not junior to any equity securities of the successor entity, with respect to participation<br />

in the profits, distributions and assets of the successor entity, except that they may rank junior to the LLC<br />

common securities or<br />

any successor LLC common securities to the same extent that the LLC preferred securities rank junior to the<br />

LLC common securities;<br />

• the Bank expressly acknowledges such successor entity as the holder of the intercompany securities;<br />

• the LLC preferred securities or any LLC successor securities are listed, or any LLC successor securities will be<br />

listed upon notification of issuance, on any national securities exchange or other organization on which the<br />

LLC preferred securities, if so listed, are then listed;<br />

• such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement does not cause the trust preferred securities (or, in<br />

the event that the trust is liquidated in connection with a <strong>Trust</strong> Special Redemption Event, the LLC preferred<br />

securities (including any LLC successor securities)) to be downgraded by any nationally recognized statistical<br />

rating organization;<br />

• such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement does not adversely affect the powers, preferences<br />

and other special rights of the holders of the trust preferred securities or LLC preferred securities (including any<br />

LLC successor securities) in any material respect;<br />

• such successor entity has a purpose substantially identical to that of the LLC;<br />

• prior to such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement, the LLC has received an opinion of<br />

nationally recognized law firm experienced in such matters to the effect that (A) such successor entity will be<br />

treated as a partnership, and will not be classified as an association or a publicly traded partnership taxable<br />

as a corporation, for United States federal income tax purposes, (B) such merger, consolidation,<br />

amalgamation or replacement would not cause the <strong>Trust</strong> to be classified as other than a grantor trust for United<br />

States federal income tax purposes, (C) following such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement,<br />

such successor entity will not be required to register under the 1940 Act and (D) such merger, consolidation,<br />

amalgamation or replacement will not adversely affect the limited liability of the holders of the LLC preferred<br />

securities; and<br />

• <strong>Holding</strong> guarantees the obligations of such successor entity under the LLC successor securities at least to the<br />

extent provided by the guarantee with respect to the LLC preferred securities.<br />
