16






Coupon so signed (or the Security to which the Coupon so signed appertains) shall be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or disposed of by the Issuer, such Security or Coupon nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed such Security or Coupon had not ceased to be such officer of the Issuer; and any Security or Coupon may be signed on behalf of the Issuer by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Security or Coupon, shall be the proper officers of the Issuer, although at the date of the execution and delivery of this Indenture any such person was not such an officer.

and upon payment, if the Issuer shall so require, of the charges hereinafter provided. If the Securities of any series are issued in both registered and unregistered form, except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.03, at the option of the Holder thereof, Unregistered Securities of any series may be exchanged for Registered Securities of such series having authorized denominations and an equal aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of such Unregistered Securities to be exchanged at the agency of the Issuer that shall be maintained for such purpose in accordance with Section 3.02, with, in the case of Unregistered Securities that have Coupons attached, all unmatured Coupons and all matured Coupons in default thereto appertaining, and upon payment, if the Issuer shall so require, of the charges hereinafter provided.

If a successor Depositary eligible under Section 2.04 for such Registered Securities is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days after the Issuer receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Issuer’s election pursuant to Section 2.03 that such Registered Securities be represented by one or more Registered Global Securities shall no longer be effective and the Issuer will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver, Securities of such series in definitive registered form without coupons, in any authorized denominations, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Registered Global Security or Securities representing such Registered Securities in exchange for such Registered Global Security or Securities.

      The Issuer may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Registered Securities of any series issued in the form of one or more Registered Global Securities shall no longer be represented by a Registered Global Security or Securities. In such event the Issuer will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver, Securities of such series in definitive registered form without coupons, in any authorized denominations, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Registered Global Security or Securities representing such Registered Securities, in exchange for such Registered Global Security or Securities.

      If specified by the Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03 with respect to Securities represented by a Registered Global Security, the Depositary for such Registered Global Security may surrender such Registered Global Security in

20






exchange in whole or in part for Securities of the same series in definitive registered form on such terms as are acceptable to the Issuer and such Depositary. Thereupon, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge,

      (a) to the Person specified by such Depositary a new Registered Security or Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations as requested by such Person, in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial interest in the Registered Global Security; and

      (b) to such Depositary a new Registered Global Security in a denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Registered Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of Registered Securities authenticated and delivered pursuant to clause (a) above.

      Upon the exchange of a Registered Global Security for Securities in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, such Registered Global Security shall be cancelled by the Trustee or an agent of the Issuer or the Trustee. Securities in definitive registered form without coupons issued in exchange for a Registered Global Security pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Registered Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee or an agent of the Issuer or the Trustee. The Trustee or such agent shall deliver such Securities to or as directed by the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.

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

      Notwithstanding anything herein or in the terms of any series of Securities to the contrary, none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee (any of which, other than the Issuer, shall rely on an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel) shall be required to exchange any Unregistered Security for a Registered Security if such exchange would result in adverse Federal income tax consequences to the Issuer (such as, for example, the inability of the Issuer to deduct from its income, as computed for Federal income tax purposes, the interest payable on the Unregistered Securities) under then applicable United States Federal income tax laws.

      Section 2.09 . Mutilated, Defaced, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. In case any temporary or definitive Security or any Coupon appertaining to any Security shall become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer

21






in its discretion may execute, and upon the written request of any officer of the Issuer, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver a new Security of the same series, maturity date, interest rate and original issue date, bearing a number or other distinguishing symbol not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated or defaced Security, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Security so destroyed, lost or stolen with Coupons corresponding to the Coupons appertaining to the Securities so mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen, or in exchange or substitution for the Security to which such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Coupon appertained, with Coupons appertaining thereto corresponding to the Coupons so mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substitute Security or Coupon shall furnish to the Issuer and to the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to indemnify and defend and to save each of them harmless and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security or Coupon and of the ownership thereof and in the case of mutilation or defacement shall surrender the Security and related Coupons to the Trustee or such agent.

      Upon the issuance of any substitute Security or Coupon, the Issuer may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee or its agent) connected therewith. In case any Security or Coupon which has matured or is about to mature or has been called for redemption in full shall become mutilated or defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer may instead of issuing a substitute Security, pay or authorize the payment of the same or the relevant Coupon (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated or defaced Security or Coupon), if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Issuer and to the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee such security or indemnity as any of them may require to save each of them harmless, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Issuer and the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security or Coupon and of the ownership thereof.

      Every substitute Security or Coupon of any series issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section by virtue of the fact that any such Security or Coupon is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security or Coupon shall be at any time enforceable by anyone and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall be subject to all the limitations of rights set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities or Coupons of such series duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Securities and Coupons shall be held and owned upon the express condition that, to the extent permitted by law, the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, defaced or destroyed, lost or stolen Securities and Coupons and shall

22






preclude any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.

      Section 2.10 . Cancellation of Securities; Destruction Thereof. All Securities and Coupons surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange, or for credit against any payment in respect of a sinking or analogous fund, if surrendered to the Issuer or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee or any agent of the Trustee, shall be delivered to the Trustee or its agent for cancellation or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be cancelled by it; and no Securities or Coupons shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee or its agent shall return such cancelled Securities and Coupons held by it to the Issuer. If the Issuer or its agent shall acquire any of the Securities or Coupons, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities or Coupons unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee or its agent for cancellation.

      Section 2.11 . Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Securities for any series, the Issuer may execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver temporary Securities for such series (printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise reproduced, in each case in form satisfactory to the Trustee). Temporary Securities of any series shall be issuable as Registered Securities without coupons, or as Unregistered Securities with or without coupons attached thereto, of any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the definitive Securities of such series but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Securities, all as may be determined by the Issuer with the concurrence of the Trustee as evidenced by the execution and authentication thereof. Temporary Securities may contain such references to any provisions of this Indenture as may be appropriate. Every temporary Security shall be executed by the Issuer and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Securities. Without unreasonable delay the Issuer shall execute and shall furnish definitive Securities of such series and thereupon temporary Registered Securities of such series may be surrendered in exchange therefor without charge at each office or agency to be maintained by the Issuer for that purpose pursuant to Section 3.02 and, in the case of Unregistered Securities, at any agency maintained by the Issuer for such purpose as specified pursuant to Section 2.03, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Securities of such series an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series having authorized denominations and, in the case of Unregistered Securities, having attached thereto any appropriate Coupons. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series, unless otherwise established pursuant to Section 2.03. The provisions of

23






this Section are subject to any restrictions or limitations on the issue and delivery of temporary Unregistered Securities of any series that may be established pursuant to Section 2.03 (including any provision that Unregistered Securities of such series initially be issued in the form of a single global Unregistered Security to be delivered to a depositary or agency located outside the United States and the procedures pursuant to which definitive or global Unregistered Securities of such series would be issued in exchange for such temporary global Unregistered Security).

ARTICLE 3
C OVENANTS OF THE I SSUER

      Section 3.01 . Payment of Principal and Interest. The Issuer covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of, and interest on, each of the Securities of such series (together with any additional amounts payable pursuant to the terms of such Securities) at the place or places, at the respective times and in the manner provided in such Securities and in the Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto and in this Indenture. The interest on Securities with Coupons attached (together with any additional amounts payable pursuant to the terms of such Securities) shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the several Coupons for such interest installments as are evidenced thereby as they severally mature. If any temporary Unregistered Security provides that interest thereon may be paid while such Security is in temporary form, the interest on any such temporary Unregistered Security (together with any additional amounts payable pursuant to the terms of such Security) shall be paid, as to the installments of interest evidenced by Coupons attached thereto, if any, only upon presentation and surrender thereof, and, as to the other installments of interest, if any, only upon presentation of such Securities for notation thereon of the payment of such interest, in each case subject to any restrictions that may be established pursuant to Section 2.03. The interest on Registered Securities (together with any additional amounts payable pursuant to the terms of such Securities) shall be payable only to or upon the written order of the Holders thereof and, at the option of the Issuer, may be paid by wire transfer or by mailing checks for such interest payable to or upon the written order of such Holders at their last addresses as they appear on the registry books of the Issuer; provided, however , that, if the Securities of such series are held by a Morgan Stanley Capital Trust or a trustee of such trust and a holder of a Capital Security of such trust brings a successful Direct Action with respect to any interest payable on such Securities, such interest will be payable directly to such holder. In such event, the Issuer will have the right to set-off such payment to such holder against its obligation to pay interest on such Securities to such Morgan Stanley Capital Trust.

24






      Section 3.02 . Offices for Payments, etc. So long as any Registered Securities are authorized for issuance pursuant to this Indenture or are outstanding hereunder, the Issuer will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where the Registered Securities of each series may be presented for payment, where the Securities of each series may be presented for exchange as is provided in this Indenture and, if applicable, pursuant to Section 2.03 and where the Registered Securities of each series may be presented for registration of transfer as in this Indenture provided.

      The Issuer initially appoints the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, as its agency for the foregoing purposes. The Issuer may subsequently appoint a different office or agency of the Issuer in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. The Issuer further initially appoints the Trustee at said Corporate Trust Office as Security registrar for each series of Securities. The Issuer will have the right to remove and replace from time to time the Security registrar for any series of Securities; provided that no such removal or replacement will be effective until a successor Security registrar with respect to such series of Securities has been appointed by the Issuer and has accepted such appointment.

      The Issuer will maintain one or more offices or agencies in a city or cities located outside the United States (including any city in which such an agency is required to be maintained under the rules of any stock exchange on which the Securities of such series are listed) where the Unregistered Securities, if any, of each series and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto may be presented for payment. No payment on any Unregistered Security or Coupon will be made upon presentation of such Unregistered Security or Coupon at an agency of the Issuer within the United States nor will any payment be made by transfer to an account in, or by mail to an address in, the United States unless pursuant to applicable United States laws and regulations then in effect such payment can be made without adverse tax consequences to the Issuer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payments in Dollars of Unregistered Securities of any series and Coupons appertaining thereto which are payable in Dollars may be made at an agency of the Issuer maintained in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York if such payment in Dollars at each agency maintained by the Issuer outside the United States for payment on such Unregistered Securities is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange controls or other similar restrictions.

      The Issuer will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Securities of any series, the Coupons appertaining thereto or this Indenture may be served.

      The Issuer will give to the Trustee written notice of the location of each such office or agency and of any change of location thereof. In case the Issuer

25






shall fail to maintain any agency required by this Section to be located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or shall fail to give such notice of the location or of any change in the location of any of the above agencies, presentations and demands may be made and notices may be served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

      The Issuer may from time to time designate one or more additional offices or agencies where the Securities of a series and any Coupons appertaining thereto may be presented for payment, where the Securities of that series may be presented for exchange as provided in this Indenture and pursuant to Section 2.03 and where the Registered Securities of that series may be presented for registration of transfer as in this Indenture provided, and the Issuer may from time to time rescind any such designation, as the Issuer may deem desirable or expedient; provided , however , that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Issuer of its obligation to maintain the agencies provided for in this Section. The Issuer will give to the Trustee prompt written notice of any such designation or rescission thereof.

      Section 3.03 . Appointment to Fill a Vacancy in Office of Trustee. The Issuer, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 6.10, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee with respect to each series of Securities hereunder.

      Section 3.04 . Paying Agents. Whenever the Issuer shall appoint a paying agent other than the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series, it will cause such paying agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section,

      (a) that it will hold all sums received by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of or interest on the Securities of such series (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Issuer or by any other obligor on the Securities of such series) in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series, or Coupons appertaining thereto, if any, or of the Trustee,

      (b) that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Issuer (or by any other obligor on the Securities of such series) to make any payment of the principal of or interest on the Securities of such series when the same shall be due and payable, and

      (c) that it will pay any such sums so held in trust by it to the Trustee upon the Trustee’s written request at any time during the continuance of the failure referred to in clause (b) above.

      The Issuer will, on or prior to each due date of the principal of or interest on the Securities of such series, deposit with the paying agent a sum sufficient to

26





pay such principal or interest so becoming due, and (unless such paying agent is the Trustee) the Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action.

      If the Issuer shall act as its own paying agent with respect to the Securities of any series, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of or interest on the Securities of such series, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series or the Coupons appertaining thereto a sum sufficient to pay such principal or interest so becoming due. The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action.

      Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, but subject to Section 10.01 and to the terms of any series of Securities, the Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge with respect to one or more or all series of Securities hereunder, or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held in trust for any such series by the Issuer or any paying agent hereunder, as required by this Section, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the trusts herein contained.

      Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section is subject to the provisions of Sections 10.03 and 11.04.

      Section 3.05 . Written Statement to Trustee. The Issuer will furnish to the Trustee on or before March 31 in each year (beginning with March 31, 2007) a brief certificate (which need not comply with Section 11.05) from the principal executive, financial or accounting officer of the Issuer stating that in the course of the performance by the signer of his duties as an officer of the Issuer he would normally have knowledge of any default or non-compliance by the Issuer in the performance of any covenants or conditions contained in this Indenture, stating whether or not he has knowledge of any such default or non-compliance and, if so, specifying each such default or non-compliance of which the signer has knowledge and the nature thereof.

      Section 3.06 . Luxembourg Publications. In the event of the publication of any notice pursuant to Section 5.11, 6.10(a), 6.11, 8.02, 10.04, 12.02 or 12.05, the party making such publication in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and London shall also, to the extent that notice is required to be given to Holders of Securities of any series by applicable Luxembourg law or stock exchange regulation, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to such party, make a similar publication in Luxembourg.

ARTICLE 5
R EMEDIES OF THE T RUSTEE AND S ECURITYHOLDERS IN D EFAULT OR E VENT OF D EFAULT

      Section 5.01 . Event of Default Defined; Acceleration of Maturity; Waiver of Event of Default . “ Event of Default ” with respect to Securities of any series wherever used herein, means each one of the following events which shall have occurred and be continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or

28





regulation of any administrative or governmental body) unless it is specifically deleted or modified in the supplemental indenture, if any, under which such series of Securities is issued:

      (a) failure to pay in full the interest accrued on any Securities of such series upon the conclusion of an extension of the interest payment period of the number of payment periods specified herein or pursuant to Section 2.03 and continuance of that failure for a period of 30 days; or

      (b) a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall enter a decree or order for relief in respect of the Issuer in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Issuer or for any substantial part of its property or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or

      (c) the Issuer shall commence a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, or consent to the appointment or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Issuer or for any substantial part of its property, or make any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or

      (d) any other Event of Default provided in the supplemental indenture under which such series of Securities is issued or in the form of Security for such series.

      If an Event of Default described in clause (a) or (d) (if the Event of Default under clause (a) or (d) is with respect to less than all series of Securities then Outstanding) occurs and is continuing, then, and in each and every such case, except for any series of Securities the principal of which shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each such affected series then Outstanding hereunder (voting as a single class) or, if the Securities of such series are held by a Morgan Stanley Capital Trust or a trustee of such trust and should the Trustee or such Holders of the Outstanding Securities fail to make the declaration referred to below, the holders of at least 25% in aggregate liquidation amount of the outstanding Capital Securities of such trust (voting as a separate class), by notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if given by Securityholders or the holders of Capital Securities), may declare the entire principal (or, if any of the Securities of any such affected series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such Securities) of all Securities of all such affected series or of such

29






series held by a Morgan Stanley Capital Trust, as the case may be, and the interest accrued thereon, if any, to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration, the same shall become immediately due and payable.

      If an Event of Default described in clause (b), (c) or (d) (if the Event of Default under clause (d) is with respect to all series of Securities then Outstanding) occurs and is continuing, then and in each and every such case, unless the principal of all the Securities shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of all the Securities then Outstanding hereunder (treated as one class), or, if the Securities of any such series are held by a Morgan Stanley Capital Trust or a trustee of such trust and should the Trustee or such Holders of the Outstanding Securities fail to make the declaration referred to below, the holders of at least 25% in aggregate liquidation amount of the outstanding Capital Securities of such trust (treated as a separate class), by notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if given by Securityholders or the holders of Capital Securities), may declare the entire principal (or, if any Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal as may be specified in the terms thereof) of all the Securities then Outstanding or of such series held by a Morgan Stanley Capital Trust, as the case may be, and interest accrued thereon, if any, to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become immediately due and payable.

      The foregoing provisions, however, are subject to the condition that if, at any time after the principal (or, if the Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal as may be specified in the terms thereof) of the Securities of any series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Issuer shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all the Securities of each such series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) and the principal of any and all Securities of each such series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest upon such principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law, on overdue installments of interest, at the same rate as the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in the Securities of such series (or at the respective rates of interest or Yields to Maturity of all the Securities, as the case may be) to the date of such payment or deposit) and such amount as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith, and if any and all Defaults under the Indenture, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities which shall have become due by

30






acceleration, shall have been cured, waived or otherwise remedied as provided herein then and in every such case the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all the Securities of each such series or of all the Securities then Outstanding, in each case voting as a single class (except that each such series of Securities held by a Morgan Stanley Capital Trust shall vote as a separate class), by written notice to the Issuer and to the Trustee, may waive all Defaults with respect to each such series (or with respect to all the Securities, as the case may be) and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences, but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent Default or shall impair any right consequent thereon; provided however , that if the Securities of such series are held by a Morgan Stanley Capital Trust or a trustee of such trust, (i) such waiver or rescission and annulment shall not be effective until the holders of a majority in aggregate liquidation amount of the Capital Securities of such trust shall have consented to such waiver or rescission and annulment and (ii) should the Holders of the Securities of such series fail to waive such Defaults and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences, the holders of a majority in aggregate liquidation amount of the Capital Securities of such trust shall have such right.

      If the Securities of a series are held by a Morgan Stanley Capital Trust or a trustee of such trust and an Event of Default or Default attributable to the failure of the Issuer to pay any amounts payable in respect of such Securities on the date such amounts are otherwise payable has occurred and is continuing, a holder of Capital Securities of such trust may institute a Direct Action. If the Issuer makes any payment to a holder of such Capital Securities as a result of a Direct Action, the Issuer will have the right to set-off any such payment against its obligation to make any corresponding payment to such Morgan Stanley Capital Trust on such Securities.

      For all purposes under this Indenture, if a portion of the principal of any Original Issue Discount Securities shall have been accelerated and declared due and payable pursuant to the provisions hereof, then, from and after such declaration, unless such declaration has been rescinded and annulled, the principal amount of such Original Issue Discount Securities shall be deemed, for all purposes hereunder, to be such portion of the principal thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of such acceleration, and payment of such portion of the principal thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of such acceleration, together with interest, if any, thereon and all other amounts owing thereunder, shall constitute payment in full of such Original Issue Discount Securities.

      Section 5.02 . Collection of Indebtedness by Trustee; Trustee May Prove Debt. The Issuer covenants that (a) in case default shall be made in the payment of any installment of interest on any of the Securities of any series when such interest shall have become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a period of 30 days or (b) in case default shall be made in the payment of all or

31






any part of the principal of any of the Securities of any series when the same shall have become due and payable, whether upon maturity of the Securities of such series or upon any redemption or by declaration or otherwise then upon demand of the Trustee, the Issuer will pay to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable on all Securities of such series, and such Coupons, for principal or interest, as the case may be (with interest to the date of such payment upon the overdue principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law, on overdue installments of interest at the same rate as the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in the Securities of such series); and in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and any expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee except as a result of its negligence or bad faith.

      Until such demand is made by the Trustee, the Issuer may pay the principal of and interest on the Securities of any series to the Holders, whether or not the Securities of such series be overdue.

      In case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Issuer or other obligor upon the Securities and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or other obligor upon the Securities, wherever situated the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable.

37






every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

      No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of Securities or Coupons or of any holder of Capital Securities to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Default or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to Section 5.06 every power and remedy given by this Indenture or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities or Coupons or to holders of Capital Securities may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders of Securities or Coupons or by the holders of Capital Securities.

38






ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders.

In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Trustee, the Holders of all such Securities and the holders of any Capital Securities shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

      Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Default or Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, and not to have occurred for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

      Section 5.11 . Trustee to Give Notice of Default, But May Withhold in Certain Circumstances. The Trustee shall, within ninety days after the occurrence of a default with respect to the Securities of any series, give notice of all defaults with respect to that series known to the Trustee (a) if any Unregistered Securities of that series are then Outstanding, to the Holders thereof, by publication at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in London (and, if required by Section 3.06, at least once in an Authorized

      Section 5.12 . Right of Court to Require Filing of Undertaking to Pay Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security or Coupon by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Securityholder or group of Securityholders of any series holding in the aggregate more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series, or, in the case of any suit relating to or arising under clause (d) of Section 5.01 or clause (c) or (e) of Section 5.06 (if the suit relates to Securities of more than one but less than all series), 10% in aggregate principal amount of Securities then Outstanding and affected thereby, or in the case of any suit relating to or arising under clause (b) or (c) of Section 5.01, 10% in aggregate principal amount of all Securities then Outstanding, or to any suit instituted by any Securityholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest (including any Additional Interest) on any Security on or after the due date expressed in such Security or any date fixed for redemption.

40






Securities of a particular series and after the curing or waiving of all Defaults which may have occurred with respect to such series, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case a Default with respect to the Securities of a series has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise with respect to such series of Securities such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

      No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that

      (a) prior to the occurrence of a Default with respect to the Securities of any series and after the curing or waiving of all such Defaults with respect to such series which may have occurred:

      (i) the duties and obligations of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

41






      None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such liability is not reasonably assured to it.

      The provisions of this Section 6.01 are in furtherance of and subject to Section 315 of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.

      (d) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Securityholders pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Securityholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred therein or thereby;

      (e) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion, rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture;

42






debenture, note, coupon, security, or other paper or document unless requested in writing so to do by the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series affected then Outstanding; provided that, if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expenses or liabilities as a condition to proceeding; the reasonable expenses of every such investigation shall be paid by the Issuer or, if paid by the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee, shall be repaid by the Issuer upon demand; and

      (g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys not regularly in its employ and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder.

      Section 6.03 . Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals, Disposition of Securities or Application of Proceeds Thereof. The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities or Coupons. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuer of any of the Securities or of the proceeds thereof.

      Section 6.04 . Trustee and Agents May Hold Securities or Coupons; Collections, etc. The Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities or Coupons with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee or such agent and may otherwise deal with the Issuer and receive, collect, hold and retain collections from the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee or such agent.

      Section 6.05 . Moneys Held by Trustee. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.04 hereof, all moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by mandatory provisions of law. Neither the Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be under any liability for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder.

      Section 6.06 . Compensation and Indemnification of Trustee and Its Prior Claim. The Issuer covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time,

43

The obligations of the Issuer under this Section to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. Such additional indebtedness shall be a senior claim to that of the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Securities or Coupons, and the Securities are hereby subordinated to such senior claim.

      Section 6.07 . Right of Trustee to Rely on Officer’s Certificate, etc. Subject to Sections 6.01 and 6.02, whenever in the administration of the trusts of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering or omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee, and such certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof.

Such corporation shall have its principal place of business in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York if there be such a corporation in such location willing to act upon reasonable and customary terms and conditions. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 6.10.

successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.

      (b)  In case at any time any of the following shall occur:

      (i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 with respect to any series of Securities after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities of such series for at least six months; or

      (ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.09 and Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any Securityholder; or

      (iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting with respect to any series of Securities, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver or liquidator of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation;

then, in any such case, the Issuer may remove the Trustee with respect to the applicable series of Securities and appoint a successor trustee for such series by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of Section 315(e) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities of such series for at least six months may on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee with respect to such series. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed with respect to any series and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the mailing of such notice of removal, the retiring trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, or any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities of the applicable series for at least six months may, subject to the provisions of Section 5.12, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.

46






      (c) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee with respect to Securities of such series and appoint a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of such series by delivering to the Trustee so removed, to the successor trustee so appointed and to the Issuer the evidence provided for in Section 7.01 of the action in that regard taken by the Securityholders.

      (d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee with respect to any series and any appointment of a successor trustee with respect to such series pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 6.10 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 6.11.

      Section 6.11 . Acceptance of Appointment by Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 6.10 shall execute and deliver to the Issuer and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee with respect to all or any applicable series shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all rights, powers, duties and obligations with respect to such series of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as trustee for such series hereunder; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Issuer or of the successor trustee, upon payment of its charges then unpaid, the trustee ceasing to act shall, subject to Section 10.04, pay over to the successor trustee all moneys at the time held by it hereunder and shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Issuer shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a prior claim upon all property or funds held or collected by such trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.06.

      If a successor trustee is appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Issuer, the predecessor Trustee and each successor trustee with respect to the Securities of any applicable series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto which shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the predecessor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series as to which the predecessor Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the predecessor Trustee, and shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute

47






such trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts under separate indentures.

      No successor trustee with respect to any series of Securities shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 6.11 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be qualified under Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 and eligible under the provisions of Section 6.09.

      Upon acceptance of appointment by any successor trustee as provided in this Section 6.11 the Issuer shall give notice thereof (a) if any Unregistered Securities of a series affected are then Outstanding, to the Holders thereof, by publication of such notice at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in London (and, if required by Section 3.05, at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg), (b) if any Unregistered Securities of a series affected are then Outstanding, to the Holders thereof who have filed their names and addresses with the Trustee within the two years preceding the notice, by mailing such notice to such Holders at such addresses as were so furnished to the Trustee (and the Trustee shall make such information available to the Issuer for such purpose) and (c) to the Holders of Registered Securities of each series affected, by mailing such notice to such Holders at their addresses as they shall appear on the registry books. If the acceptance of appointment is substantially contemporaneous with the resignation, then the notice called for by the preceding sentence may be combined with the notice called for by Section 6.10. If the Issuer fails to give such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be given at the expense of the Issuer.

      Section 6.12 . Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business of Trustee. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be qualified under Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 and eligible under the provisions of Section 6.09, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

      In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Securities of any series shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee and deliver such Securities so authenticated; and, in case at that time any of the Securities of any series shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such

48






Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor Trustee; and in all such cases such certificate shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Securities of such series or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have; provided , that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or to authenticate Securities of any series in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.

      Section 6.13. Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Issuer . This Section intentionally left blank.

      Section 6.14 . Appointment of Authenticating Agent. As long as any Securities of a series remain Outstanding, the Trustee may, by an instrument in writing, appoint with the approval of the Issuer an authenticating agent (the “Authenticating Agent”) which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities, including Securities issued upon exchange, registration of transfer, partial redemption or pursuant to Section 2.09. Securities of each such series authenticated by such Authenticating Agent shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee. Whenever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities of any series by the Trustee or to the Trustee’s Certificate of Authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent for such series and a Certificate of Authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by such Authenticating Agent. Such Authenticating Agent shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any State, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $5,000,000 (determined as provided in Section 6.09 with respect to the Trustee) and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority.

      Any corporation into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted, or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency business of any Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be the Authenticating Agent with respect to all series of Securities for which it served as Authenticating Agent without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or such Authenticating Agent. Any Authenticating Agent may at any time, and if it shall cease to be eligible shall, resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Issuer.

      Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.14 with respect to one or more

49






series of Securities, the Trustee shall upon receipt of an Issuer Order appoint a successor Authenticating Agent and the Issuer shall provide notice of such appointment to all Holders of Securities of such series in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 11.04. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Authenticating Agent. The Issuer agrees to pay to the Authenticating Agent for such series from time to time reasonable compensation. The Authenticating Agent for the Securities of any series shall have no responsibility or liability for any action taken by it as such at the direction of the Trustee.

      Sections 6.02, 6.03, 6.04, 6.06, 6.09 and 7.03 shall be applicable to any Authenticating Agent.

ARTICLE 7
C ONCERNING THE S ECURITYHOLDERS

      Section 7.01 . Evidence of Action Taken by Securityholders . Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by a specified percentage in principal amount of the Securityholders of any or all series or holders of Capital Securities interested therein may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such specified percentage of Securityholders or holders of Capital Securities in person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee. Proof of execution of any instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Sections 6.01 and 6.02) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Article.

      Section 7.02 . Proof of Execution of Instruments and of Holding of Securities. Subject to Sections 6.01 and 6.02, the execution of any instrument by a Securityholder or, if a series of Securities is held by a Morgan Stanley Capital Trust, a holder of Capital Securities or, in each case, his agent or proxy may be proved in the following manner:

      (a) The fact and date of the execution by any Holder or, if a series of Securities is held by a Morgan Stanley Capital Trust, by any holder of Capital Securities of any instrument may be proved by the certificate of any notary public or other officer of any jurisdiction authorized to take acknowledgments of deeds or administer oaths that the person executing such instruments acknowledged to him the execution thereof, or by an affidavit of a witness to such execution sworn

50





to before any such notary or other such officer. Where such execution is by or on behalf of any legal entity other than an individual, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of the authority of the person executing the same. The fact of the holding by any Holder or, if a series of Securities is held by a Morgan Stanley Capital Trust, by any holder of Capital Securities of an Unregistered Security of any series, and the identifying number of such Security and the date of his holding the same, may be proved by the production of such Security or by a certificate executed by any trust company, bank, banker or recognized securities dealer wherever situated satisfactory to the Trustee, if such certificate shall be deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory. Each such certificate shall be dated and shall state that on the date thereof a Security of such series bearing a specified identifying number was deposited with or exhibited to such trust company, bank, banker or recognized securities dealer by the person named in such certificate. Any such certificate may be issued in respect of one or more Unregistered Securities of one or more series specified therein. The holding by the person named in any such certificate of any Unregistered Securities of any series specified therein shall be presumed to continue for a period of one year from the date of such certificate unless at the time of any determination of such holding (i) another certificate bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Securities shall be produced, or (ii) the Security of such series specified in such certificate shall be produced by some other person, or (iii) the Security of such series specified in such certificate shall have ceased to be Outstanding. Subject to Sections 6.01 and 6.02, the fact and date of the execution of any such instrument and the amount and numbers of Securities of any series held by the person so executing such instrument and the amount and numbers of any Security or Securities for such series may also be proven in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee for such series or in any other manner which the Trustee for such series may deem sufficient.

      (b) In the case of Registered Securities, the ownership of such Securities shall be proved by the Security register or by a certificate of the Security registrar.

      The Issuer may set a record date for purposes of determining the identity of Holders of Registered Securities or, if a series of Securities is held by a Morgan Stanley Capital Trust, of holders of registered Capital Securities of any series entitled to vote or consent to any action referred to in Section 7.01, which record date may be set at any time or from time to time by notice to the Trustee, for any date or dates (in the case of any adjournment or reconsideration) not more than 60 days nor less than five days prior to the proposed date of such vote or consent, and thereafter, notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, with respect to Registered Securities of any series, only Holders of Registered Securities or, if a series of Securities is held by a Morgan Stanley Capital Trust, holders of registered Capital Securities of such series of record on such record date shall be entitled to so vote or give such consent or revoke such vote or consent.

51




      Section 7.03 . Holders to be Treated as Owners. The Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may deem and treat the person in whose name any Security shall be registered upon the Security register for such series as the absolute owner of such Security (whether or not such Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and, subject to the provisions of this Indenture, interest on such Security and for all other purposes; and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. The Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the Holder of any Unregistered Security and the Holder of any Coupon or, if a series of Securities is held by a Morgan Stanley Capital Trust, the holder of any unregistered Capital Security as the absolute owner of such Unregistered Security or Coupon (whether or not such Unregistered Security or Coupon shall be overdue) for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes and neither the Issuer, the Trustee, nor any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments so made to any such person, or upon his order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys payable upon any such Unregistered Security or Coupon.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Securities of such series are held by a Morgan Stanley Capital Trust, nothing in this Section 7.03 shall be deemed to impair the right of any holder of Capital Securities to institute a Direct Action or to declare an Event of Default and accelerate the maturity of such series.

      Section 7.04 . Securities Owned by Issuer Deemed Not Outstanding. In determining whether the Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Securities of any or all series have concurred in any direction, consent or waiver under this Indenture, Securities which are owned by the Issuer or any other obligor on the Securities with respect to which such determination is being made or by any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer or any other obligor on the Securities with respect to which such determination is being made shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination, except that for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver only Securities which the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded; provided , that, if the Securities of such series are held by a Morgan Stanley Capital Trust or a trustee of such trust, the provisions of this Section 7.04 shall not apply. Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Securities and that the pledgee is not the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Securities or any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect

52






common control with the Issuer or any other obligor on the Securities. In case of a dispute as to such right, the advice of counsel shall be full protection in respect of any decision made by the Trustee in accordance with such advice. Upon request of the Trustee, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officer’s Certificate listing and identifying all Securities, if any, known by the Issuer to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the above-described persons; and, subject to Sections 6.01 and 6.02, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officer’s Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all Securities not listed therein are Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination.

      Section 7.05 . Right of Revocation of Action Taken. At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 7.01, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any or all series, as the case may be, specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any Holder of a Security or, if any such series is held by a Morgan Stanley Capital Trust, any holder of a Capital Security the serial number of which is shown by the evidence to be included among the serial numbers of the Securities the Holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice at the Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of holding as provided in this Article, revoke such action so far as concerns such Security. Except as aforesaid any such action taken by the Holder of any Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Security and of any Securities issued in exchange or substitution therefor or on registration of transfer thereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon any such Security. Any action taken by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any or all series, as the case may be, specified in this Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of all the Securities affected by such action.

ARTICLE 8
S UPPLEMENTAL I NDENTURES

      Section 8.01 . Supplemental Indentures Without Consent of Securityholders . The Issuer, when authorized by a resolution of its Board of Directors (which resolution may provide general terms or parameters for such action and may provide that the specific terms of such action may be determined in accordance with or pursuant to an Issuer Order), and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for one or more of the following purposes:

      (a) to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge to the Trustee as security for the Securities of one or more series any property or assets;

      (c) to add to the covenants of the Issuer such further covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions as the Issuer and the Trustee shall consider to be for the protection of the Holders of Securities or Coupons, and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance, of a default in any such additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions a Default or an Event of Default permitting the enforcement of all or any of the several remedies provided in this Indenture as herein set forth; provided , that in respect of any such additional covenant, restriction, condition or provision such supplemental indenture may provide for a particular period of grace after default (which period may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of other defaults) or may provide for an immediate enforcement upon such a Default or Event of Default or may limit the remedies available to the Trustee upon such a Default or Event of Default or may limit the right of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series to waive such a Default or Event of Default;

      (d) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture, or to make any other provisions as the Issuer may deem necessary or desirable, provided that no such action shall adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Securities or Coupons;

      (e) to establish the forms or terms of Securities of any series or of the Coupons appertaining to such Securities as permitted by Sections 2.01 and 2.03; and

      (f) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one trustee, pursuant to the requirements of Section 6.11.

      The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Issuer in the execution of any such supplemental indenture, to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be therein contained and to accept the conveyance, transfer, assignment, mortgage or pledge of any property thereunder, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

54






      Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section may be executed without the consent of the Holders of any of the Securities at the time outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 8.02.

      Section 8.02 . Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Securityholders. With the consent (evidenced as provided in Article 7) of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series affected by such supplemental indenture (voting as one class), the Issuer, when authorized by a resolution of its Board of Directors (which resolution may provide general terms or parameters for such action and may provide that the specific terms of such action may be determined in accordance with or pursuant to an Issuer Order), and the Trustee may, from time to time and at any time, enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each such series or of the Coupons appertaining to such Securities; provided , that no such supplemental indenture shall (a) extend the final maturity of any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption thereof, or make the principal thereof (including any amount in respect of original issue discount), or interest thereon payable in any coin or currency other than that provided in the Securities and Coupons or in accordance with the terms thereof, or reduce the amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon an acceleration of the maturity thereof pursuant to Section 5.01 or the amount thereof provable in bankruptcy pursuant to Section 5.02, or alter the provisions of Sections 11.11 or 11.12 or impair or affect the right of any Securityholder to institute suit for the payment thereof or, if the Securities provide therefor, any right of repayment at the option of the Securityholder, in each case without the consent of the Holder of each Security so affected, or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities of any series, the consent of the Holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the Holders of each Security so affected; and provided further , that, if the Securities of such series are held by a Morgan Stanley Capital Trust or a trustee of such trust, so long as any of the Capital Securities of such trust remain outstanding, no such modification may be made that adversely affects the holders of such Capital Securities in any material respect, and no termination of this Indenture may occur, without the prior consent of the holders of at least a majority of the aggregate liquidation amount of the outstanding Capital Securities of such trust unless and until the principal of such Securities and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon have been paid in full, and none of the modifications described in clauses (a) and (b) above may be made without the prior written consent of all the holders of Capital Securities of such Morgan Stanley Capital Trust. In addition, the Issuer may not amend this Indenture to remove the rights of holders of Capital Securities of a Morgan

55






Stanley Capital Trust to institute a Direct Action without the prior written consent of all the holders of Capital Securities of such trust or to remove the obligation to obtain the consent of such holders of Capital Securities in accordance with this Section, without the consent of the required percentage of holders of the Capital Securities of such Trust; and provided further, that the Issuer shall, if then required under applicable laws, regulations or policies, seek the prior approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any self-regulatory organization then having jurisdiction before exercising its rights, if any, to enter into a supplemental indenture to shorten the maturity of the Securities as a result of an adverse tax event.

      A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of Holders of Securities of such series, or of Coupons appertaining to such Securities, with respect to such covenant or provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series or of the Coupons appertaining to such Securities.

      Upon the request of the Issuer, accompanied by a copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors (which resolution may provide general terms or parameters for such action and may provide that the specific terms of such action may be determined in accordance with or pursuant to an Issuer Order) certified by the secretary or an assistant secretary of the Issuer authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of the Holders of the Securities as aforesaid and other documents, if any, required by Section 7.01, the Trustee shall join with the Issuer in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such supplemental indenture.

      It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Securityholders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.

      Promptly after the execution by the Issuer and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall give notice thereof (a) to the Holders of then Outstanding Registered Securities of each series affected thereby, by mailing a notice thereof by first-class mail to such Holders at their addresses as they shall appear on the Security register, (b) if any Unregistered Securities of a series affected thereby are then Outstanding, to the Holders thereof who have filed their names and addresses with the Trustee within two years preceding such notice, by mailing a notice thereof by first-class mail to such Holders at such addresses as were so furnished

56





to the Trustee and (c) if any Unregistered Securities of a series affected thereby are then Outstanding, to all Holders thereof, by publication of a notice thereof at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in London (and, if required by Section 3.06, at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg), and in each case such notice shall set forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture. Any failure of the Issuer to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

      Section 8.03 . Effect of Supplemental Indenture. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof, this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders of Securities of each series affected thereby shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.

      Section 8.04 . Documents to be Given to Trustee. The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 6.01 and 6.02, may receive an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article 8 complies with the applicable provisions of this Indenture.

      Section 8.05 . Notation on Securities in Respect of Supplemental Indentures. Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article may bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee for such series as to any matter provided for by such supplemental indenture or as to any action taken by Securityholders. If the Issuer or the Trustee shall so determine, new Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Board of Directors, to any modification of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may be prepared by the Issuer, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered in exchange for the Securities of such series then Outstanding.

      Section 8.06 . Subordination Unimpaired. This Indenture may not be amended to alter the subordination of any of the Outstanding Securities without the written consent of each holder of Senior Indebtedness then outstanding that would be adversely affected thereby.

Nothing in this Indenture, in the Securities or in the Coupons appertaining thereto, expressed or implied, shall give or be construed to give to any person, firm or corporation, other than the parties hereto and their successors and the holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holders of the Securities or Coupons, if any, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture or under any covenant or provision herein contained, all such covenants and provisions being for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their successors, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and the Holders of the Securities or Coupons, if any.

In any case where notice to such Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

Any certificate, statement or opinion of counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, information with respect to which is in the possession of the Issuer, upon the certificate, statement or opinion of or representations by an officer or officers of the Issuer, unless such counsel knows that the certificate, statement or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate, statement or opinion may be based as aforesaid are erroneous, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know that the same are erroneous.

      Any certificate, statement or opinion of an officer of the Issuer or of counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to accounting matters, upon a certificate or opinion of or representations by an accountant or firm of accountants in the employ of the Issuer, unless such officer or counsel, as the case may be, knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the accounting matters upon which his certificate, statement or opinion may be based as aforesaid are erroneous, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know that the same are erroneous.

For purposes of this Section 11.11, Market Exchange Rate shall mean the noon Dollar buying rate in New York City for cable transfers of that currency published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

The provisions of this paragraph shall apply in determining the equivalent principal amount in respect of Securities of a series denominated in a currency other than Dollars in connection with any action taken by Holders of Securities pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

69






Required Currency ”) into a currency in which a judgment will be rendered (the “ Judgment Currency ”), the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the day on which final unappealable judgment is entered, unless such day is not a New York Banking Day, then, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the New York Banking Day preceding the day on which a final unappealable judgment is entered, and (b) its obligations under this Indenture to make payments in the Required Currency (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or not entered in accordance with subsection (a)), in any currency other than the Required Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt, by the payee, of the full amount of the Required Currency expressed to be payable in respect of such payments, (ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose of recovering in the Required Currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the Required Currency so expressed to be payable and (iii) shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sum due under this Indenture. For purposes of the foregoing, “New York Banking Day” means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday in The City of New York or a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to close.

Notice of redemption to all other Holders of Unregistered Securities shall be published in an Authorized Newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and in an Authorized Newspaper in London (and, if required by Section 3.06, in an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg), in each case, once in each of three successive calendar weeks, the first publication to be not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption or within any applicable Redemption Notice Period; provided that notice to Holders of Unregistered Securities held only in global form may be made, at the option of the Issuer, through the customary notice provisions of the clearing system or systems through which beneficial interests in such Unregistered Securities are owned. Any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives the notice. Failure to give notice by mail, or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Security of a series designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Security of such series.

      The notice of redemption to each such Holder shall specify the principal amount of each Security of such series held by such Holder to be redeemed, the date fixed for redemption, the redemption price (or if not then ascertainable, the manner of calculation thereof), the place or places of payment, that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Securities and, in the case of Securities with Coupons attached thereto, of all Coupons appertaining thereto maturing after the date fixed for redemption, that such redemption is pursuant to the mandatory or optional sinking fund, or both, if such be the case, that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in such notice and that on and after said date interest thereon or on the portions thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue. In case any Security of a series is to be redeemed in part only the notice of redemption shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that on and after the date fixed for redemption, upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities of such series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued.

71






      The notice of redemption of Securities of any series to be redeemed at the option of the Issuer shall be given by the Issuer or, at the Issuer’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer.

      On or before the redemption date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in this Section, the Issuer will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more paying agents (or, if the Issuer is acting as its own paying agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 3.04) an amount of money or other property sufficient to redeem on the redemption date all the Securities of such series so called for redemption at the appropriate redemption price, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. The Issuer will deliver to the Trustee at least 65 days prior to the date fixed for redemption or at least 5 days prior to the first day of any applicable Redemption Notice Period an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be redeemed. In case of a redemption at the election of the Issuer prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, prior to the giving of any notice of redemption to Holders pursuant to this Section, an Officer’s Certificate stating that such restriction has been complied with.

      If less than all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select, in such manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair, Securities of such Series to be redeemed in whole or in part. Securities may be redeemed in part in multiples equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of such series or any multiple thereof. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Securities of such series selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities of such series selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities of any series shall relate, in the case of any Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Security which has been or is to be redeemed.

      Section 12.03 . Payment of Securities Called for Redemption. If notice of redemption has been given as above provided, the Securities or portions of Securities specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption, and on and after said date (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of such Securities at the redemption price, together with interest accrued to said date) interest on the Securities or portions of Securities so called for redemption shall cease to accrue, and the unmatured Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto shall be void, and, except as provided in Sections 6.05 and 10.04, such Securities shall cease from and after the date fixed for redemption to be entitled to any benefit or security under this Indenture, and the Holders thereof shall have no right in respect of such Securities

72






except the right to receive the redemption price thereof and unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption. On presentation and surrender of such Securities at a place of payment specified in said notice, together with all Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto maturing after the date fixed for redemption, said Securities or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Issuer at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption; provided that payment of interest becoming due on or prior to the date fixed for redemption shall be payable in the case of Securities with Coupons attached thereto, to the Holders of the Coupons for such interest upon surrender thereof, and in the case of Registered Securities, to the Holders of such Registered Securities registered as such on the relevant record date subject to the terms and provisions of Sections 2.03 and 2.07 hereof.

      If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal shall, until paid or duly provided for, bear interest from the date fixed for redemption at the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of an Original Issue Discount Security) borne by such Security.

      If any Security with Coupons attached thereto is surrendered for redemption and is not accompanied by all appurtenant Coupons maturing after the date fixed for redemption, the surrender of such missing Coupon or Coupons may be waived by the Issuer and the Trustee, if there be furnished to each of them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them harmless.

      Upon presentation of any Security redeemed in part only, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or on the order of the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Issuer, a new Security or Securities of such series, of authorized denominations, in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security so presented.

      Section 12.04 . Exclusion of Certain Securities from Eligibility for Selection for Redemption. Securities shall be excluded from eligibility for selection for redemption if they are identified by registration and certificate number in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee at least 40 days prior to the last date on which notice of redemption may be given as being owned of record and beneficially by, and not pledged or hypothecated by either (a) the Issuer or (b) an entity specifically identified in such written statement as directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer.

      Section 12.05 . Mandatory and Optional Sinking Funds. The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of the Securities of any series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment”, and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of the

73






Securities of any series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment”. The date on which a sinking fund payment is to be made is herein referred to as the “sinking fund payment date”.

      In lieu of making all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to any series of Securities in cash, the Issuer may at its option (a) deliver to the Trustee Securities of such series theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired (except upon redemption pursuant to the mandatory sinking fund) by the Issuer or receive credit for Securities of such series (not previously so credited) theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired (except as aforesaid) by the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to Section 2.10, (b) receive credit for optional sinking fund payments (not previously so credited) made pursuant to this Section, or (c) receive credit for Securities of such series (not previously so credited) redeemed by the Issuer through any optional redemption provision contained in the terms of such series. Securities so delivered or credited shall be received or credited by the Trustee at the sinking fund redemption price specified in such Securities.

      On or before the 60th day next preceding each sinking fund payment date or the 30th day next preceding the last day of any applicable Redemption Notice Period relating to a sinking fund payment date for any series, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate (which need not contain the statements required by Section 11.05) (a) specifying the portion of the mandatory sinking fund payment to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion to be satisfied by credit of Securities of such series and the basis for such credit, (b) stating that none of the Securities of such series has theretofore been so credited, (c) stating that no defaults in the payment of interest or Defaults or Events of Default with respect to such series have occurred (which have not been waived or cured) and are continuing and (d) stating whether or not the Issuer intends to exercise its right to make an optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series and, if so, specifying the amount of such optional sinking fund payment which the Issuer intends to pay on or before the next succeeding sinking fund payment date. Any Securities of such series to be credited and required to be delivered to the Trustee in order for the Issuer to be entitled to credit therefor as aforesaid which have not theretofore been delivered to the Trustee shall be delivered for cancellation pursuant to Section 2.10 to the Trustee with such Officer’s Certificate (or reasonably promptly thereafter if acceptable to the Trustee). Such Officer’s Certificate shall be irrevocable and upon its receipt by the Trustee the Issuer shall become unconditionally obligated to make all the cash payments or payments therein referred to, if any, on or before the next succeeding sinking fund payment date. Failure of the Issuer, on or before any such 60th day or 30th day, if applicable, to deliver such Officer’s Certificate and Securities specified in this paragraph, if any, shall not constitute a default but shall constitute, on and as of such date, the irrevocable election of the Issuer (i) that the mandatory sinking fund payment for such series due on the next succeeding

74






sinking fund payment date shall be paid entirely in cash without the option to deliver or credit Securities of such series in respect thereof and (ii) that the Issuer will make no optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series as provided in this Section.

      If the sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional or both) to be made in cash on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payments made in cash shall exceed $50,000 (or the equivalent thereof in any Foreign Currency) or a lesser sum in Dollars (or the equivalent thereof in any Foreign Currency) if the Issuer shall so request with respect to the Securities of any particular series, such cash shall be applied on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date to the redemption of Securities of such series at the sinking fund redemption price together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. If such amount shall be $50,000 (or the equivalent thereof in any Foreign Currency) or less and the Issuer makes no such request then it shall be carried over until a sum in excess of $50,000 (or the equivalent thereof in any Foreign Currency) is available. The Trustee shall select, in the manner provided in Section 12.02, for redemption on such sinking fund payment date a sufficient principal amount of Securities of such series to absorb said cash, as nearly as may be, and shall (if requested in writing by the Issuer) inform the Issuer of the serial numbers of the Securities of such series (or portions thereof) so selected. Securities shall be excluded from eligibility for redemption under this Section if they are identified by registration and certificate number in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee at least 60 days prior to the sinking fund payment date or at least 30 days prior to the last day of any applicable Redemption Notice Period relating to a sinking fund payment date as being owned of record and beneficially by, and not pledged or hypothecated by either (a) the Issuer or (b) an entity specifically identified in such Officer’s Certificate as directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer. The Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer (or the Issuer, if it shall so request the Trustee in writing) shall cause notice of redemption of the Securities of such series to be given in substantially the manner provided in Section 12.02 (and with the effect provided in Section 12.03) for the redemption of Securities of such series in part at the option of the Issuer. The amount of any sinking fund payments not so applied or allocated to the redemption of Securities of such series shall be added to the next cash sinking fund payment for such series and, together with such payment, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section. Any and all sinking fund moneys held on the stated maturity date of the Securities of any particular series (or earlier, if such maturity is accelerated), which are not held for the payment or redemption of particular Securities of such series shall be applied, together with other moneys, if necessary, sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of the principal of, and interest on, the Securities of such series at maturity.

75






      On or before each sinking fund payment date, the Issuer shall pay to the Trustee in cash or shall otherwise provide for the payment of all interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption on Securities to be redeemed on the next following sinking fund payment date.

      The Trustee shall not redeem or cause to be redeemed any Securities of a series with sinking fund moneys or give any notice of redemption of Securities for such series by operation of the sinking fund during the continuance of a default in payment of interest on such Securities or of any Default except that, where the giving of notice of redemption of any Securities shall theretofore have been made, the Trustee shall redeem or cause to be redeemed such Securities, provided that it shall have received from the Issuer a sum sufficient for such redemption. Except as aforesaid, any moneys in the sinking fund for such series at the time when any such default or Default shall occur, and any moneys thereafter paid into the sinking fund, shall, during the continuance of such default or Default, be deemed to have been collected under Article 5 and held for the payment of all such Securities. In case such Default shall have been waived as provided in Section 5.10 or the default cured on or before the sixtieth day preceding the sinking fund payment date in any year, such moneys shall thereafter be applied on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date in accordance with this Section to the redemption of such Securities.

ARTICLE 13
S UBORDINATION

      Section 13.01 . Securities and Coupons Subordinated to Senior Indebtedness . The Issuer covenants and agrees, and each Holder of a Security or Coupon, by his acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that the indebtedness represented by the Securities and any Coupons and the payment of the principal of and interest on each and all of the Securities and of any Coupons is hereby expressly subordinated, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, in right of payment to the prior payment in full of Senior Indebtedness.

      In the event (a) of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings or any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceedings in respect of the Issuer or a substantial part of its property, or of any proceedings for liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the Issuer, whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, or (b) subject to the provisions of Section 13.02 that (i) a default shall have occurred with respect to the payment of principal of or interest on or other monetary amounts due and payable on any Senior Indebtedness, or (ii) there shall have occurred an event of default (other than a default in the payment of principal or interest or other monetary amounts due and payable) in respect of any Senior Indebtedness, as defined therein or in the instrument under which the same is outstanding, permitting the holder or holders

76





thereof to accelerate the maturity thereof (with notice or lapse of time, or both), and such event of default shall have continued beyond the period of grace, if any, in respect thereof, and, in the cases of subclauses (i) and (ii) of this clause (b), such default or event of default shall not have been cured or waived or shall not have ceased to exist, or (c) that the principal of and accrued interest on the Securities of any series shall have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 5.01 and such declaration shall not have been rescinded and annulled as provided in Section 5.01 then:

      (i) the holders of all Senior Indebtedness shall first be entitled to receive payment of the full amount due thereon, or provision shall be made for such payment in money or money’s worth, before the Holders of any of the Securities or Coupons are entitled to receive a payment on account of the principal of or interest on the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities or of the Coupons, including, without limitation, any payments made pursuant to Article 12.

      (ii) any payment by, or distribution of assets of, the Issuer of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the Holders of any of the Securities or Coupons or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article shall be paid or delivered by the person making such payment or distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver or liquidating trustee or otherwise, directly to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of such Senior Indebtedness held or represented by each, to the extent necessary to make payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution (or provision therefor) to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, before any payment or distribution is made to the holders of the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities or Coupons or to the Trustee under this instrument; and

      (iii) in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment by, or distribution of assets of, the Issuer of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, in respect of principal of or interest on the Securities or in connection with any repurchase by the Issuer of the Securities, shall be received by the Trustee or the Holders of any of the Securities or Coupons before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, or provision made for such payment in money or money’s worth, such payment or distribution in respect of principal of or interest on the Securities or in connection with any repurchase by the Issuer of the Securities shall be paid over to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness or

77






their representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, ratably as aforesaid, for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid until all such Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution (or provision therefor) to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time after the 91st day following the date of deposit of cash or, in the case of Securities payable only in Dollars, U.S. Government Obligations pursuant to Section 10.01(b) or Section 10.01(c) (provided all other conditions set out in such Section shall have been satisfied) the funds so deposited and any interest thereon will not be subject to any rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness including, without limitation, those arising under this Article 13.

      Section 13.02 . Disputes with Holders of Certain Senior Indebtedness. Any failure by the Issuer to make any payment on or perform any other obligation under Senior Indebtedness, other than any indebtedness incurred by the Issuer or assumed or guaranteed, directly or indirectly, by the Issuer for money borrowed (or any deferral, renewal, extension or refunding thereof) or any indebtedness or obligation as to which the provisions of this Section shall have been waived by the Issuer in the instrument or instruments by which the Issuer incurred, assumed, guaranteed or otherwise created such indebtedness or obligation, shall not be deemed a default or event of default under Section 13.01(b) if (a) the Issuer shall be disputing its obligation to make such payment or perform such obligation and (b) either (i) no final judgment relating to such dispute shall have been issued against the Issuer which is in full force and effect and is not subject to further review, including a judgment that has become final by reason of the expiration of the time within which a party may seek further appeal or review, and (ii) in the event of a judgment that is subject to further review or appeal has been issued, the Issuer shall in good faith be prosecuting an appeal or other proceeding for review and a stay of execution shall have been obtained pending such appeal or review.

      Section 13.03 . Subrogation. Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, the Holders of the Securities and any Coupons shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with the holders of all obligations of the Issuer which by their express terms are subordinated to Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer to the same extent as the Securities are subordinated and which are entitled to like rights of subrogation) to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Issuer applicable to the Senior Indebtedness until all amounts owing on the Securities and any Coupons shall be paid in full, and as between the Issuer, its creditors other than holders of such Senior Indebtedness and the Holders, no such payment or distribution made to the holders of Senior Indebtedness by virtue of this Article

78






that otherwise would have been made to the Holders shall be deemed to be a payment by the Issuer on account of such Senior Indebtedness, it being understood that the provisions of this Article are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders, on the one hand, and the holders of Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand.

      Section 13.04 . Obligation of Issuer Unconditional. Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities or any Coupons is intended to or shall impair, as among the Issuer, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holders, the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders the principal of and interest on the Securities and the amounts owed pursuant to any Coupons as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holders and creditors of the Issuer other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Trustee or any Holder from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article of the holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the Issuer received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

      Upon payment or distribution of assets of the Issuer referred to in this Article, the Trustee and the Holders shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which any such dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization proceeding affecting the affairs of the Issuer is pending or upon a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidating trustee or agent or other person making any payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders, for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Issuer, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article.

      Section 13.05 . Payments on Securities and Coupons Permitted. Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities or Coupons shall affect the obligations of the Issuer to make, or prevent the Issuer from making, payment of the principal of or interest on the Securities and of any Coupons in accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof, except as otherwise provided in this Article.

      Section 13.06 . Effectuation of Subordination by Trustee. Each holder of Securities or Coupons, by his acceptance thereof, authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this Article and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

79






 

      Section 13.07 . Knowledge of Trustee. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article or any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment of moneys to or by the Trustee, or the taking of any other action by the Trustee, unless and until the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof mailed or delivered to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office from the Issuer, any Holder, any paying agent or the holder or representative of any class of Senior Indebtedness; provided that if at least three Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any such moneys may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal or interest on any Security or interest on any Coupon) the Trustee shall not have received with respect to such moneys the notice provided for in this Section, then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such moneys and to apply the same to the purpose for which they were received and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary that may be received by it within three Business Days prior to or on or after such date.

      Section 13.08 . Trustee May Hold Senior Indebtedness. The Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article with respect to any Senior Indebtedness at the time held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness, and nothing in Section 6.03 or elsewhere in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.

      Section 13.09 . Rights of Holders of Senior Indebtedness Not Impaired. No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce the subordination herein shall at any time or in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Issuer or by any noncompliance by the Issuer with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with.

      With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, (a) the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, (b) the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, (c) no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee and (d) the Trustee shall not be deemed to be a fiduciary as to such holders.

      Section 13.10 . Article Applicable to Paying Agents. In case at any time any paying agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Issuer and be then acting hereunder, the term “Trustee” as used in this Article shall in such case (unless the context shall require otherwise) be construed as extending to and including such paying agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such paying agent were named in this Article in addition to or in

80




 

place of the Trustee, provided, however , that Sections 13.07 and 13.08 shall not apply to the Issuer if it acts as its own paying agent.

      Section 13.11 . Trustee; Compensation Not Prejudiced. Nothing in this Article shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.06.

REVERSE OF SECURITY

      This debenture is one of a duly authorized issue of 6.60% Junior Subordinated Debentures due October 15, 2066 (the “ Final Maturity Date ”), and redeemable on such earlier date or dates as provided herein, of the Issuer (the “ Debentures ”). The Debentures are issuable under the Junior Subordinated Indenture, dated as of October 12, 2006, between Morgan Stanley (the “ Issuer ”) and The Bank of New York, as Trustee (the “ Trustee ,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Junior Subordinated Indenture) (the “ Junior Subordinated Indenture ”), to which Junior Subordinated Indenture reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Issuer, the Trustee and holders of the Debentures and the terms upon which the Debentures are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Issuer has appointed The Bank of New York at its corporate trust office in The City of New York as the paying agent (the “ Paying Agent ,” which term includes any additional or successor Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer) with respect to the Debentures. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the terms of the Junior Subordinated Indenture are hereby incorporated by reference herein. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meaning given to such terms in the Junior Subordinated Indenture.

      This Debenture shall not be subject to any sinking fund, shall not be subject to repayment at the option of the holder and, except as provided below, shall not be redeemable prior to the Final Maturity Date.

      The Issuer covenants (the “ Replacement Capital Obligation ”) to redeem the Debentures on January 15, 2046 (the “ Scheduled Redemption Date ”), but only out of net proceeds raised from the sale to third party purchasers of one or more issuances of Replacement Securities in the amounts specified below.

      The Replacement Capital Obligation is limited. Except as described below, and subject to the occurrence of a Market Disruption Event, the Issuer shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to raise sufficient net proceeds from the sale of Replacement Securities to redeem the Debentures in full on the Scheduled Redemption Date only to the extent that it has raised sufficient net proceeds within the 180-day period prior to the date on which the Issuer gives its notice of redemption pursuant to the Junior Subordinated Indenture, which shall be not more than 30 and not less than 15 days prior to the Scheduled Redemption Date. If the Issuer has not raised sufficient net proceeds to permit redemption in full of the Debentures on the Scheduled Redemption Date at their principal plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, it shall apply any available proceeds so raised first to pay the accrued and unpaid installments of interest in chronological order and second to repay all principal outstanding on the Debentures. Except as described below, and subject to the occurrence of a Market Disruption Event, the Issuer shall continue using its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to raise sufficient

4






proceeds to permit repayment of the balance of the amount due on the Debentures as soon as commercially practicable and shall use any proceeds raised on each Interest Payment Date following the Scheduled Redemption Date to reduce the balance outstanding on such Interest Payment Date until the Debentures are paid in full. The Issuer shall not otherwise redeem the Debentures on or after the Scheduled Redemption Date. The Replacement Capital Obligation shall continue to apply until (i) the Issuer has raised sufficient net proceeds from the sale of Replacement Securities to permit redemption in full in accordance with the Replacement Capital Obligation, (ii) the Debentures are otherwise paid in full on the Final Maturity Date or (iii) the occurrence of an Event of Default resulting in the acceleration of the principal amount of the Debentures.

      The Issuer shall only have the right to modify or terminate the Replacement Capital Obligation with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Debentures; provided that the Replacement Capital Obligation may be amended or supplemented from time to time by a written instrument signed only by the Issuer (and without the consent of the Holders) if (i) such amendment eliminates Common Stock, Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock and/or Debt Exchangeable for Equity (but only to the extent exchangeable for Common Stock) as a type of security or securities qualifying as Capital Replacement Securities and the Issuer has been advised in writing by a nationally recognized independent accounting firm that there is more than an insubstantial risk that the failure to do so would result in a reduction in the Issuer’s earnings per share as calculated for financial reporting purposes or (ii) such amendment or supplement is not adverse to the Holders then in effect or imposes additional restrictions on the types of securities qualifying as Capital Replacement Securities, and, in either case described in this clause (ii), an officer of the Issuer has delivered to the Holders a written certificate stating that, in his or her determination, such amendment or supplement is not adverse to the Holders. In no event, however, shall the Issuer’s failure to obtain such consent be an Event of Default hereunder.

      Any principal amount of this Debenture remaining outstanding, together with accrued and unpaid interest, will be due and payable on the Final Maturity Date, regardless of the amount of Capital Replacement Securities the Issuer has issued and sold by that time.

      Commercially Reasonable Efforts ” to sell securities in accordance with the Replacement Capital Obligation or the Alternative Payment Mechanism means commercially reasonable efforts by the Issuer to complete the offer and sale of the Issuer’s securities to third parties that are not Subsidiaries of the Issuer in public offerings or private placements. The Issuer shall not be considered to have made commercially reasonable efforts to effect a sale of securities if it determines to not pursue or complete such sale due to pricing, coupon, dividend rate or dilution considerations.

5






      The Issuer shall not be required to redeem the Debentures on the Scheduled Redemption Date or any Interest Payment Date following the Scheduled Redemption Date, as the case may be (each a “ Required Repayment Date ”), to the extent it provides written certification to the Trustee no more than 30 and no less than 15 days in advance of the Required Repayment Date certifying that (i) a Market Disruption Event was existing during the 180-day period preceding the date of such certificate or, in the case of any required redemption after the Scheduled Redemption Date, the 90-day period preceding the date of such certificate and (ii) either (a) the Market Disruption Event continued for the entire 180-day period or 90-day period, as the case may be, or (b) the Market Disruption Event continued for only part of such period, but the Issuer was unable after Commercially Reasonable Efforts to raise sufficient net proceeds during the rest of such period to permit redemption of the Debentures in full.

      Net proceeds that the Issuer is permitted to apply to redemption of the Debentures on and after the Scheduled Redemption Date shall be applied first to pay Deferred Interest to the extent of eligible proceeds raised under the Alternative Payment Mechanism, second to pay current interest that the Issuer is not paying from other sources and third to redeem the principal of the Debentures, subject to a minimum principal amount of US$5,000,000 to be redeemed on any Required Repayment Date; provided that if the Issuer is obligated to sell Replacement Securities in accordance with the Replacement Capital Obligation and apply the net proceeds to payments of principal of or interest on any outstanding securities in addition to the Debentures (the “ Other Securities ”), then on any date and for any period the amount of net proceeds received by the Issuer from such sales and available for such payments shall be applied to the Debentures and the Other Securities having the same scheduled repayment date or scheduled redemption date as the Debentures pro rata in accordance with their respective outstanding principal amounts, and none of such net proceeds shall be applied to any Other Securities having a later scheduled repayment date or scheduled redemption date until the principal of and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Debentures has been paid in full.

      The term “ Tax Event ” means the receipt by the Issuer of an opinion of counsel to the Issuer experienced in such matters, who shall not be an officer or employee of the Issuer or any of its affiliates, to the effect that, as a result of any

      Investment Company Event ” means the receipt by the Issuer of an opinion of counsel to the Issuer experienced in such matters, who shall not be an officer or employee of the Issuer or any of its affiliates, to the effect that, as a result of the occurrence of a change in law or regulation or a written change (including any announced prospective change) in interpretation or application of law or regulation by any legislative body, court, governmental agency or regulatory authority, there is more than an insubstantial risk that the Issuer Trust is or will be considered an “investment company” that is required to be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, which change or prospective change becomes effective or would become effective, as the case may be, on or after October 5, 2006.

      “Rating Agency Event” means the determination by the Issuer that a change by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization within the meaning of Rule 15c3-1 under the Exchange Act that currently publishes a rating for

16






Morgan Stanley (a “ Rating Agency ”) in the equity credit criteria for securities such as the Capital Securities or the Debentures has occurred, resulting in a lower equity credit to the Issuer than the equity credit assigned by such Rating Agency to the Capital Securities or the Debentures on October 5, 2006.

      Interest payments on this Debenture shall include interest accrued to but excluding the Interest Payment Dates or the Final Maturity Date (or any earlier redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Interest payments for this Debenture shall be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and the actual days elapsed in a partial month in such period. Accrued interest that is not paid on the applicable Interest Payment Date shall bear additional interest on the amount thereof at the rate per annum of 6.60% (the “ Coupon Rate ”), compounded quarterly and computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and the actual days elapsed in a partial month in such period. The amount of any interest payable for any full interest period shall be computed by dividing the rate per annum by four. The term “interest” as used herein includes quarterly interest payments, interest on quarterly interest payments not paid on the applicable Interest Payment Date and Additional Sums, as applicable.

      If any Interest Payment Date or the Final Maturity Date (or any redemption date) does not fall on a Business Day, payment of interest, premium, if any, or principal otherwise payable on such date need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or on the Final Maturity Date (or any redemption date), and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after the Interest Payment Date or the Final Maturity Date (or any redemption date) to such next succeeding Business Day.

      Section 5.01 of the Junior Subordinated Indenture provides that (i) if an Event of Default due to the default in payment of interest on any series of debt securities issued under the Junior Subordinated Indenture, including the series of Debentures of which this Debenture forms a part, shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the debt securities of each affected series (voting as a single class) may then declare the principal of all debt securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (ii) if an Event of Default due to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization of the Issuer, shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of all debt securities issued under the Junior Subordinated Indenture then outstanding (treated as one class) may declare the principal of all such debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past Defaults may be waived (except a continuing Default in payment of principal or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a

17





majority in principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then outstanding.

      So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Issuer shall have the right at any time, and from time to time, during the term of the Debentures to defer payments of interest for a period not exceeding 40 consecutive quarters (the “ Optional Deferral Period ”), during which Optional Deferral Period no interest shall be due and payable; provided , that no Optiona Deferral Period may extend beyond the Final Maturity Date or the acceleration of the principal of the Debentures following an Event of Default. Interest, the payment of which has been deferred because of an Optional Deferral Period, shall bear interest thereon at the Coupon Rate compounded quarterly for each quarter of the Optional Deferral Period and computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and the actual days elapsed in a partial month in such period (“ Additional Interest ”). The Coupon Rate payable for any full interest period shall be computed by dividing the rate per annum by four. At the end of the Optional Deferral Period, all interest accrued and unpaid on this Debenture, including any Additional Sums and Additional Interest (together, “ Deferred Interest ”) shall become due and payable, and the Issuer shall pay such Deferred Interest to the Holders of this Debenture in whose names this Debenture is registered in the Securities Register on the Record Date with respect to the first Interest Payment Date after the end of the Optional Deferral Period. Before the termination of any Optional Deferral Period, the Issuer may further extend such period; provided, that such period together with all such further extensions thereof shall not exceed 40 consecutive quarters, or extend beyond the Final Maturity Date or the acceleration of the principal of the Debentures following an Event of Default. In the event that any Debentures are called for redemption on a date prior to the end of an Optional Deferral Period, with respect to such Debentures, such Optional Deferral Period shall be deemed to end on such date or an earlier date determined by the Issuer, subject to the Issuer’s compliance with the Alternative Payment Mechanism. Upon the termination of any Optional Deferral Period and upon the payment of all Deferred Interest then due, the Issuer may commence a new Optional Deferral Period, subject to the foregoing requirements. No interest shall be due and payable during an Optional Deferral Period, except at the end thereof, but the Issuer may prepay at any time all or any portion of the interest accrued during an Optional Deferral Period.

      If the Property Trustee (as defined in the Trust Agreement) is the only Holder of the Debentures at the time the Issuer selects an Optional Deferral Period, the Issuer shall give written notice to the Issuer Trustees (as defined in the Trust Agreement) of its selection of such Optional Deferral Period at least 15 Business Days prior to the date the Distributions (as defined in the Trust Agreement) on the Trust Securities (as defined in the Trust Agreement) would have been payable but for the election to begin such Optional Deferral Period.

18





      If the Property Trustee is not the only Holder, or is not itself the Holder, of the Debentures at the time the Issuer selects an Optional Deferral Period, the Issuer shall give the Holders of the Debentures and the Trustee written notice of its selection of such Optional Deferral Period at least 10 Business Days before the earlier of the next succeeding Interest Payment Date or the date the Issuer is required to give notice of the record or payment date of such interest payment to Holders of the Debentures.

      In the event of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings described in Section 5.01(b) or (c) of the Junior Subordinated Indenture prior to the redemption or repayment of the Debentures, Holders of the Debentures shall only have a claim for, or right to receive, distributions with respect to Deferred Interest, including accrued interest on the deferred payments, to the extent such interest (including accrued interest on the deferred payments) relates to the first two years of the Optional Deferral Period.

      The Issuer covenants that it shall not (i) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire, or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of the Issuer’s capital stock, (ii) make any payment of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities of the Issuer that rank pari passu in all respects with or junior in interest to the Debentures or (iii) make any guarantee payments on any guarantee of debt securities of any of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries if the guarantee ranks equal or junior to the Debentures (other than (a) repurchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of shares of capital stock of the Issuer (1) in connection with any employment contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of any one or more employees, officers, directors or consultants, (2) in connection with a dividend reinvestment or stockholder stock purchase plan or (3) in connection with the issuance of capital stock of the Issuer (or securities convertible into or exercisable for such capital stock) as consideration in an acquisition transaction entered into prior to the applicable Optional Deferral Period, (b) as a result of an exchange, redemption or conversion of any class or series of the Issuer’s capital stock (or any capital stock of a Subsidiary of the Issuer) for any class or series of the Issuer’s capital stock or of any class or series of the Issuer’s indebtedness for any class or series of the Issuer’s capital stock, (c) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of the Issuer’s capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such capital stock or the security being converted or exchanged, (d) any declaration of a dividend in connection with any stockholder’s rights plan, or the issuance of rights, stock or other property under any stockholder’s rights plan, or the redemption or repurchase of rights pursuant thereto, (e) any dividend in the form of stock, warrants, options or other rights where the dividend stock or the stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants, options or other rights is the same stock as that on which the dividend is being paid or ranks pari passu with or junior to such stock, (f) payments under the Guarantee executed and delivered by the Issuer and The

19





Bank of New York, as trustee, for the benefit of the holders of any Capital Securities, as amended from time to time (the “ Guarantee ”) or (g) any payments, purchases or acquisitions in connection with any market-making transactions in the Issuer’s capital stock in the ordinary course of the Issuer’s or any of the Issuer’s affiliate’s business), if at such time the Issuer has given notice of its election of an Optional Deferral Period as provided in the Junior Subordinated Indenture and has not rescinded such notice, or such Optional Deferral Period, or any deferral thereof, is continuing.

      If any Optional Deferral Period lasts longer than one year, unless required to do so by any applicable regulatory authority and subject to the exceptions listed in the parenthetical in the preceding paragraph, the Issuer shall not repurchase any of its Common Stock for a one-year period following the payment of all Deferred Interest on the Debentures pursuant to the Alternative Payment Mechanism.

      Subject to certain conditions and the exclusion described below, if the Issuer defers interest on the Debentures, the Issuer shall be required, not later than (i) the Business Day immediately following the first Interest Payment Date during an Optional Deferral Period on which it elects to pay current interest or (ii) if earlier, the Business Day following the fifth anniversary of the commencement of an Optional Deferral Period, to use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to begin selling to persons that are not affiliates of the Issuer Qualifying Securities (the “ Alternative Payment Mechanism ”). The Issuer shall be required pursuant to the Alternative Payment Mechanism, with respect to any subsequent Interest Payment Date during an Optional Deferral Period until the Deferred Interest has been paid in full, to use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to sell Qualifying Securities until it has raised an amount of net proceeds that, together with the net proceeds of any sales of Qualifying Securities within the 180 days preceding such Interest Payment Date, is sufficient to pay the Deferred Interest (including interest on the deferred payments) on such Interest Payment Date, provided that, if, due to a Market Disruption Event or otherwise, the Issuer is able to raise some, but not all, of the net proceeds from the sale of Qualifying Securities necessary to pay all Deferred Interest (including interest on the deferred payments) on any Interest Payment Date, the Issuer shall apply any such available net proceeds on such Interest Payment Date to pay accrued and unpaid installments of interest in chronological order. The Issuer shall not pay Deferred Interest (including interest on the deferred payments) on the Debentures from any source other than the net proceeds from the sale of Qualifying Securities, unless otherwise required at the time by any applicable regulatory authority. In addition, such applicable regulatory authority may prevent the Issuer from selling Qualifying Securities or may prevent the Issuer from using the proceeds of any sales of Qualifying Securities to pay any Deferred Interest.

      Qualifying Securities ” means (i) “ Qualifying Warrants ,” which are net share settled warrants to purchase the Issuer’s Common Stock that have an

20





exercise price greater than the Current Stock Market Price of the Issuer’s Common Stock as of their date of issuance, that the Issuer is not entitled to redeem for cash and that the holders of such warrants are not entitled to require the Issuer to repurchase for cash in any circumstance and (ii) “ Perpetual Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock ” which means Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock that is either non-callable or callable with a Legally Binding Replacement Covenant or callable with a Replacement Capital Intention and a Mandatory Trigger Provision.

      The “ Current Stock Market Price ” of the Issuer’s Common Stock on any date shall be the closing sale price per share (or if no closing sale price is reported, the average of the bid and ask prices or, if more than one in either case, the average of the average bid and the average ask prices) on that date as reported in composite transactions by the New York Stock Exchange or, if the Issuer’s Common Stock is not then listed on the New York Stock Exchange, as reported by the principal U.S. securities exchange on which the Issuer’s Common Stock is traded or quoted. If the Issuer’s Common Stock is not either listed or quoted on any U.S. securities exchange on the relevant date, the “Current Stock Market Price” shall be the last quoted bid price for the Issuer’s Common Stock in the over-the-counter market on the relevant date as reported by the National Quotation Bureau or similar organization. If the Issuer’s Common Stock is not so quoted, the “Current Stock Market Price” shall be the average of the mid-point of the last bid and ask prices for the Issuer’s Common Stock on the relevant date from each of at least three nationally recognized independent investment banking firms selected by the Issuer for this purpose.

      The Issuer shall not be required to issue Qualifying Warrants prior to the fifth anniversary of the commencement of any Optional Deferral Period pursuant to the Alternative Payment Mechanism to the extent that the number of shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock underlying any issuance of Qualifying Warrants applied to pay such interest, together with the shares underlying all prior issuances of Qualifying Warrants during such Optional Deferral Period so applied, would exceed 2% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock as of the date of the Issuer’s then most recent publicly available consolidated financial statements (the “ Warrant Issuance Cap ”). In addition, the Issuer may not issue Perpetual Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock if the net proceeds of any issuance of Perpetual Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock applied to pay interest, together with the net proceeds of all prior issuances of Perpetual Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock so applied, would exceed 25% of the aggregate liquidation amount of the issuance of the Capital Securities (the “ Preferred Stock Issuance Cap ”).

      Once the Issuer reaches the Warrant Issuance Cap for any Optional Deferral Period, the Issuer shall not be required to issue more Qualifying Warrants prior to the fifth anniversary of the commencement of such Optional

21






Deferral Period even if the number of underlying shares referred to above subsequently increases because of a subsequent increase in the number of outstanding shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock. The Warrant Issuance Cap shall cease to apply following the fifth anniversary of the commencement of any Optional Deferral Period, at which point the Issuer shall have the right to pay any Deferred Interest, regardless of the time at which it was deferred, using the Alternative Payment Mechanism, subject to the Preferred Stock Issuance Cap, the Share Cap and any Market Disruption Event. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Warrant Issuance Cap has been reached during an Optional Deferral Period and the Issuer subsequently pays all deferred payments (including accrued interest thereon), the Warrant Issuance Cap shall cease to apply, and shall only apply again once the Issuer starts a new Optional Deferral Period. The Preferred Stock Issuance Cap shall apply so long as the Debentures remain outstanding.

      The Issuer shall not be required to issue Qualifying Warrants pursuant to the Alternative Payment Mechanism to the extent that the total number of shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock underlying such Qualifying Warrants, together with all prior issuances of Qualifying Warrants, exceeds 40 million shares (the “ Share Cap ”). The Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to increase the Share Cap from time to time to a number of shares that would allow the Issuer to satisfy its obligations with respect to the Alternative Payment Mechanism. The Share Cap shall be adjusted proportionately for any change in the number of outstanding shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock by reason of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reclassification, recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange of shares or other similar transaction, effective upon the effective date of any such transaction.

      If, due to a Market Disruption Event, the Warrant Issuance Cap, Preferred Stock Issuance Cap, Share Cap or otherwise, the Issuer was able to raise some, but not all, eligible proceeds necessary to pay all Deferred Interest (including compounded interest thereon) on any Interest Payment Date, the Issuer shall apply any available eligible proceeds to pay accrued and unpaid installments of interest on the applicable Interest Payment Date in chronological order. If the Issuer has outstanding securities in addition to, and that rank pari passu with, the Debentures under which the Issuer is obligated to sell Qualifying Securities and apply the net proceeds to the payment of deferred interest or distributions, then on any date and for any period the amount of net proceeds received by the Issuer from those sales and available for payment of the Deferred Interest and distributions shall be applied to the Debentures and such other securities on a pro rata basis in proportion to the total amounts that are due on the Debentures and such securities, or on such other basis as any regulator applicable to the Issuer may approve.

      The Issuer shall not be required to sell Qualifying Securities in accordance with the Alternative Payment Mechanism during any quarterly period preceding any Interest Payment Date to the extent it provides written certification to the

22






Trustee (which the Trustee shall promptly forward upon receipt to each holder of record of Capital Securities) no more than 30 and no less than 15 days in advance of such Interest Payment Date certifying that (i) a Market Disruption Event was existing after the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date and (ii) either (a) the Market Disruption Event continued for the entire period from the Business Day immediately following the preceding Interest Payment Date to the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which that certification is provided or (b) the Market Disruption Event continued for only part of such period, but the Issuer was unable after Commercially Reasonable Efforts to raise sufficient eligible proceeds during the rest of such period to pay all accrued and unpaid interest.

      If the Issuer is involved in a business combination where immediately after its consummation more than 50% of the surviving entity’s voting stock is owned by the shareholders of the other party to the business combination, then the Alternative Payment Mechanism shall not apply to any interest that is deferred and unpaid as of the date of consummation of the business combination.

      A “ Market Disruption Event ” means, for purposes of sales of Qualifying Securities pursuant to the Alternative Payment Mechanism or sales of Replacement Securities pursuant to the Replacement Capital Obligation described below, as applicable (collectively, the “ Permitted Securities ”), the occurrence or existence of any of the following events or sets of circumstances (i) trading in securities generally (or shares of the Issuer’s securities specifically) on the New York Stock Exchange or any other national securities exchange or over-the-counter market on which the Issuer’s Common Stock and/or preferred stock is then listed or traded shall have been suspended or its settlement generally shall have been materially disrupted or minimum prices shall have been established on any such market or exchange by the SEC, by the relevant exchange or any other regulatory body or governmental authority having jurisdiction, (ii) the Issuer is required to obtain the consent or approval of its shareholders or of a regulatory body (including, without limitation, any securities exchange) or governmental authority to issue the Permitted Securities, and fails to obtain such consent or approval notwithstanding the Issuer’s commercially reasonable efforts to such effect, (iii) an event occurs and is continuing as a result of which the offering document for the offer and sale of the Permitted Securities would, in the Issuer’s reasonable judgment, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated in that offering document or necessary to make the statements in that offering document not misleading and either (a) the disclosure of that event at the time the event occurs, in the Issuer’s reasonable judgment, would have a material adverse effect on its business or (b) the disclosure relates to a previously undisclosed proposed or pending material business transaction and the Issuer has a bona fide business reason for keeping the same confidential or the disclosure of which would impede the Issuer’s ability to consummate that transaction; provided that one or more events described under this clause (iii) shall not constitute a Market Disruption Event with respect to

23






more than one Interest Payment Date for purposes of the Alternative Payment Mechanism or with respect to more than one three-month period for purposes of the Replacement Capital Obligation, (iv) the Issuer reasonably believes that the offering document for the offer and sale of the Permitted Securities would not be in compliance with a rule or regulation of the SEC (for reasons other than those referred to in the immediately preceding clause (iii)) and the Issuer is unable to comply with such rule or regulation or such compliance is impracticable, provided that no single suspension contemplated by this clause (iv) may exceed 90 consecutive days and multiple suspension periods contemplated by this subsection may not exceed an aggregate of 180 days in any 360-day period, (v) there is a material adverse change in general domestic or international economic, political or financial conditions, including without limitation as a result of terrorist activities, or the effect of international conditions on the financial markets in the United States, that impacts the markets on which the Issuer’s securities are trading, such as to make it, in the judgment of the Issuer, impracticable to proceed with the offer and sale of the permitted securities, (vi) a material disruption shall have occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearing services in the United States or (vii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared by federal or state authorities of the United States, that results in a disruption of any of the markets in which the Issuer’s securities are trading.

      If an Event of Default or a Default attributable to (i) the failure of the Issuer to pay any amounts payable in respect of the Debentures on the date such amounts are otherwise payable or (ii) a breach of the Alternative Payment Mechanism or the Replacement Capital Obligation has occurred and is continuing, a registered holder of Capital Securities may institute a legal proceeding directly against the Issuer for enforcement of payment to such registered holder of an amount equal to the amount payable in respect of Debentures having a principal amount equal to the aggregate Liquidation Amount (as defined in the Trust Agreement) of the Capital Securities held by such registered holder (a “ Direct Action ”). The Issuer shall have the right to set off any payment made to such registered holder of Capital Securities by the Issuer in connection with a Direct Action.

      As long as any Debentures are held by the Issuer Trust, the Issuer covenants (i) to continue to hold, directly or indirectly, 100% of the Common Securities (as defined in the Trust Agreement), provided that certain successors that are permitted pursuant to the Junior Subordinated Indenture may succeed to the Issuer’s ownership of the Common Securities, (ii) as holder of the Common Securities, not to voluntarily dissolve, windup or liquidate the Issuer Trust, other than (a) in connection with a distribution of Debentures to the holders of the Capital Securities in liquidation of the Issuer Trust or (b) in connection with certain mergers, consolidations or amalgamations permitted by the Trust Agreement and (iii) to use its reasonable efforts, consistent with the terms and

24






provisions of the Trust Agreement, to cause the Issuer Trust to continue not to be taxable as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes.

      If, and for so long as, (i) the Issuer Trust is the holder of all the Debentures and (ii) the Issuer Trust is required to pay any additional taxes, duties or other governmental charges as a result of a Tax Event, the Issuer shall pay as additional sums on the Debentures (“ Additional Sums ”) such amounts as may be required so that the Distributions (as defined in the Trust Agreement) paid by the Issuer

Trust shall not be reduced as a result of any such additional taxes, duties or other governmental charges

      The Issuer, as borrower, agrees to pay all debts and other obligations (other than with respect to the Capital Securities issued by the Issuer Trust) and all costs and expenses of the Issuer Trust (including costs and expenses relating to the organization of the Issuer Trust, the fees and expenses of the Issuer Trustees (as defined in the Trust Agreement) for the Issuer Trust and the costs and expenses relating to the operation of the Issuer Trust) and to pay any and all taxes and all costs and expenses with respect thereto (other than United States withholding taxes) to which the Issuer Trust might become subject. The foregoing obligations of the Issuer under the Debentures owned by the Issuer Trust are for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, any Person to whom any such debts, obligations, costs, expenses and taxes are owed (a “ Creditor ”) whether or not such Creditor has received notice thereof. Any such Creditor may enforce such obligations of the Issuer directly against the Issuer, and the Issuer irrevocably waives any right or remedy to require that any such Creditor take any action against the Issuer Trust or any other Person before proceeding against the Issuer. The Issuer agrees to execute any additional agreements as may be necessary or desirable to give full effect to the foregoing.

      The provisions of Section 3.04 and Section 10.01 of the Junior Subordinated Indenture relating to discharge, defeasance and covenant defeasance are not applicable to this Debenture.

      This Debenture and all other obligations of the Issuer hereunder shall constitute part of the junior subordinated debt of the Issuer, shall be issued under the Junior Subordinated Indenture and shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Junior Subordinated Indenture, to all Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the Junior Subordinated Indenture) of the Issuer.

      This Debenture, and any Debenture or Debentures issued upon transfer or exchange hereof, is issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and is issuable only in denominations of US$25 and any integral multiple of US$25 in excess thereof, unless otherwise indicated on the face thereof.

25






      The Bank of New York has been appointed registrar for the Debentures (the “ Registrar ,” which term includes any successor registrar appointed by the Issuer), and the Registrar shall maintain at its office in The City of New York a register for the registration and transfer of Debentures. This Debenture may be transferred at the aforesaid office of the Registrar by surrendering this Debenture for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar and duly executed by the registered holder hereof in person or by the holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Registrar shall issue in the name of the transferee or transferees, in exchange herefor, a new Debenture or Debentures having identical terms and provisions and having a like aggregate principal amount in authorized denominations, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that the Registrar shall not be required (i) to register the transfer of or exchange any Debenture that has been called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of Debentures being redeemed in part or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange Debentures to the extent and during the period so provided in the Junior Subordinated Indenture with respect to the redemption of Debentures. Debentures are exchangeable at said office for other Debentures of other authorized denominations of equal aggregate principal amount having identical terms and provisions. All such exchanges and transfers of Debentures shall be free of charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in connection therewith. All Debentures surrendered for exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar and executed by the registered holder in person or by the holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. The date of registration of any Debenture delivered upon any exchange or transfer of Debentures shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange or transfer.

      In case this Debenture shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen and this Debenture or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Registrar, a new Debenture of like tenor shall be issued by the Issuer in exchange for this Debenture, but, if this Debenture has been destroyed, lost or stolen, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Registrar and the Issuer that such Debenture was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Debenture shall be borne by the owner of the Debenture mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen.

      The Junior Subordinated Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Junior Subordinated Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute

26






supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby and the prior written consent of each registered holder of Capital Securities, to the extent that the Debentures are held by any Morgan Stanley Capital Trust (including Morgan Stanley Capital Trust VII), (i) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, except as otherwise provided herein or in the Junior Subordinated Indenture, or reduce any amount payable on redemption or repayment thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or impair or affect the rights of any holder to institute suit for the payment thereof without the consent of the holder of each debt security so affected or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture; provided, however, that neither this Debenture nor the Junior Subordinated Indenture may be amended to alter the subordination provisions hereof or thereof without the written consent of each holder of Senior Indebtedness then outstanding that would be adversely affected thereby. In addition, so long as any of the Capital Securities remain outstanding, no such modification may be made that adversely affects the holders of such Capital Securities in any material respect, and no termination of the Junior Subordinated Indenture may occur, and no waiver of any Event of Default or Default may be effective, without the prior consent of the holders of at least a majority of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the outstanding Capital Securities unless and until the principal of (and premium, if any, on) the Debentures and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon have been paid in full and certain other conditions are satisfied. So long as the Issuer acts in accordance with the terms of the Debentures, the Issuer may defer interest payable on the Debentures in accordance with the terms hereof without the consent of the Issuer Trust or the holders of Capital Securities. However, the Issuer may not amend this Debenture or the Junior Subordinated Indenture to remove the rights of registered holders of Capital Securities to institute a Direct Action without the prior written consent of all the registered holders of Capital Securities of the Trust.

      So long as this Debenture shall be outstanding, the Issuer shall cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Debenture as herein provided in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and an office or agency in said Borough of Manhattan for the registration, transfer and exchange as aforesaid of the Debentures. Under Section 3.02 of the Junior Subordinated Indenture, the Issuer has initially appointed the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, as its agency for the foregoing purposes.

27






and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated other than that of the Trustee.

      With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent for payment of the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on any Debentures that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall notify the holders of such Debentures that such moneys shall be repaid to the Issuer and any Person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on this Debenture as the same shall become due.

      No provision of this Debenture or of the Junior Subordinated Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Debenture at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the registered holder of this Debenture.

      Prior to due presentment of this Debenture for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the holder in whose name this Debenture is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Debenture be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

      No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or the interest on this Debenture, for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Junior Subordinated Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

This Debenture shall for all purposes be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

DISTRIBUTIONS; REDEMPTION

SECTION 4.1. Distributions.

Accordingly:

17






      (i) Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be cumulative and will accumulate whether or not there are funds of the Issuer Trust available for the payment of Distributions. Distributions shall accumulate from and including October 12, 2006, and, except in the event (and to the extent) that the Depositor exercises its right to defer the payment of interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures pursuant to the Indenture, shall be payable quarterly in arrears not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing on January 15, 2007. If any date on which a Distribution is otherwise payable on the Trust Securities is not a Business Day, then the payment of such Distribution shall be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay), with the same force and effect as if made on the date on which such payment was originally payable (each date on which distributions are payable in accordance with this Section 4.1(a), a “Distribution Date”).

      (ii) The Trust Securities shall be entitled to Distributions payable at a rate of 6.60% per annum of the Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities. The amount of Distributions payable for any period less than a full Distribution Period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and the actual number of days elapsed in a partial month in a period. Distributions on the Trust Securities will accumulate from and including the most recent Distribution Date to which Distributions have been paid or duly provided for, or, if no Distributions have been paid or duly provided for, from and including October 12, 2006 to but excluding the date the Liquidation Amount has been paid or duly made available for payment. Distributions payable for each full Distribution Period will be computed by dividing the rate per annum by four (4). The amount of Distributions payable for any period shall include any Additional Amounts in respect of such period.

      (iii) So long as no Debenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Depositor has the right under the Indenture to defer the payment of interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures at any time and from time to time for a period not exceeding 40 consecutive quarterly periods (an “Optional Deferral Period”), provided that no Optional Deferral Period may extend beyond the Final Maturity Date or the acceleration of the Junior Subordinated Debentures following a Debenture Event of Default. As a consequence of any such deferral, quarterly Distributions on the Trust Securities by the Issuer Trust will also be deferred to the extent and except as provided in the Junior Subordinated Debentures, and the amount of Distributions to which Holders of the Trust Securities are entitled that have been so deferred will accumulate additional Distributions thereon at the rate per annum of 6.60%, compounded quarterly from and including the most recent Distribution payment date on which Distributions were paid, computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and the actual number of days elapsed in a partial month in such period. Additional Distributions payable for each full Distribution Period will be computed by dividing the rate per annum by four (4). The term “Distributions” as used in Section 4.1 shall include any such additional Distributions provided pursuant to this Section 4.1(a)(iii) .

18






      (iv) In the event of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings in respect of the Depositor, as described in Section 5.01(b) or (c) of the Indenture, prior to the redemption or repayment of the Junior Subordinated Debentures, Holders of the Junior Subordinated Debentures shall only have a claim for, or right to receive, distributions with respect to deferred interest, including accrued interest on the deferred payments, to the extent such interest (including accrued interest on the deferred payments) relates to the first two years of the Optional Deferral Period and, consequently, Holders of the Trust Securities shall only have a claim for, or right to receive, Distributions as so reduced.

      (v) Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be made by the Property Trustee from the Payment Account and shall be payable not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each Distribution Date only to the extent that the Issuer Trust has funds then on hand and available in the Payment Account for the payment of such Distributions.

      (b) Distributions on the Trust Securities with respect to a Distribution Date shall be payable to the Holders thereof as they appear on the Securities Register for the Trust Securities at the close of business on the relevant record date, which shall be at the close of business on the 15th calendar day next preceding the relevant Distribution Date, whether or not a Business Day.

      SECTION 4.2. Redemption.

      (a) On each Debenture Redemption Date and on the Final Maturity Date of the Junior Subordinated Debentures, the Issuer Trust will be required to redeem a Like Amount of Trust Securities at the Redemption Price.

      (b) Notice of redemption shall be given by the Property Trustee by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 15 nor more than 30 days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Trust Securities to be redeemed, at such Holder’s address appearing in the Security Register. All notices of redemption shall state:

      (i) the Redemption Date;

      (ii) the Redemption Price or, if the Redemption Price cannot be calculated prior to the time the notice is required to be sent, the manner of calculation of the Redemption Price provided pursuant to the Indenture together with a statement that the Redemption Price will be calculated on the third Business Day prior to the Redemption Date (and if the manner of calculation of the Redemption Price is provided, a further notice shall be sent of the Redemption Price on the date, or as soon as practicable thereafter, that notice of such Redemption Price is received pursuant to the Indenture);

      (iii) the CUSIP number or CUSIP numbers of the Capital Securities affected;

      (iv) if less than all the Outstanding Trust Securities are to be redeemed, the identification and the total Liquidation Amount of the particular Trust Securities to be redeemed;

19






      (v) that, on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Trust Security to be redeemed and that Distributions thereon will cease to accumulate on and after said date, except as provided in Section 4.2(d) below; and

      (vi) the place or places where Trust Securities are to be surrendered for the payment of the Redemption Price.

      The Issuer Trust in issuing the Trust Securities shall use “CUSIP” numbers, and the Property Trustee shall indicate the “CUSIP” numbers of the Trust Securities in notices of redemption and related materials as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Trust Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption and related material.

      (c) The Trust Securities redeemed on each Redemption Date shall be redeemed at the Redemption Price with the applicable proceeds from the contemporaneous redemption of Junior Subordinated Debentures. Redemptions of the Trust Securities shall be made and the Redemption Price shall be payable on each Redemption Date only to the extent that the Issuer Trust has funds then on hand and legally available in the Payment Account for the payment of such Redemption Price.

      (d) If the Issuer Trust gives a notice of redemption in respect of any Capital Securities, then, by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Redemption Date, subject to Section 4.2(c), the Property Trustee will, with respect to Capital Securities held in book-entry form, irrevocably deposit with the Clearing Agency for such Capital Securities, to the extent available therefor, funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price and will give such Clearing Agency irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Redemption Price to the Holders of the Capital Securities. With respect to Capital Securities that are not held in book-entry form, the Property Trustee, subject to Section 4.2(c), will irrevocably deposit with the Paying Agent, to the extent available therefor, funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price and will give the Paying Agent irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Redemption Price to the Holder of the Capital Securities upon surrender of their Capital Securities Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Distributions payable on or prior to the Redemption Date for any Trust Securities called for redemption shall be payable to the Holders of such Trust Securities as they appear on the Securities Register for the Trust Securities on the relevant record dates for the related Distribution Dates. If notice of redemption shall have been given and funds deposited as required, then, upon the date of such deposit, all rights of Holders holding Trust Securities so called for redemption will cease, except the right of such Holders to receive the Redemption Price and any Distribution payable in respect of the Trust Securities on or prior to the Redemption Date, but without interest, and such Securities will cease to be Outstanding. In the event that any date on which any applicable Redemption Price is payable is not a Business Day, then payment of the applicable Redemption Price payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) with the same force and effect as if made on such date. In the event that payment of the Redemption Price in respect of any Trust Securities called for redemption is improperly withheld or refused and not paid either by the Issuer Trust or by the Depositor pursuant to the Guarantee Agreement, Distributions on such Trust Securities will continue to accumulate, as set

20






forth in Section 4.1, from and including the Redemption Date originally established by the Issuer Trust for such Trust Securities to but excluding the date such applicable Redemption Price is actually paid, in which case the actual payment date will be the date fixed for redemption for purposes of calculating the applicable Redemption Price.

      (e) Subject to Section 4.3(a), if less than all the Outstanding Trust Securities are to be redeemed on a Redemption Date, then the aggregate Liquidation Amount of such Trust Securities to be redeemed shall be allocated pro rata to the Common Securities and the Capital Securities based on the relative aggregate Liquidation Amounts of such classes. The particular Capital Securities to be redeemed shall be selected on a pro rata basis based on their respective Liquidation Amounts not more than 30 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Property Trustee from the Outstanding Capital Securities not previously called for redemption by any method the Property Trustee deems fair and appropriate, or if the Capital Securities are then held in the form of a Global Capital Security in accordance with the customary procedures for the Clearing Agency. The Property Trustee shall promptly notify the Securities Registrar in writing of the Capital Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Capital Securities selected for partial redemption, the Liquidation Amount thereof to be redeemed. For all purposes of this Trust Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Capital Securities shall relate, in the case of any Capital Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of Capital Securities that has been or is to be redeemed.

      SECTION 4.3. Subordination of Common Securities.

      (a) Payment of Distributions (including Additional Amounts, if applicable) on, the Redemption Price of, and the Liquidation Distribution in respect of, the Trust Securities, as applicable, shall be made, subject to Section 4.2(e), pro rata among the Common Securities and the Capital Securities based on the Liquidation Amount of such Trust Securities; provided, however, that if on any Distribution Date or Redemption Date any Event of Default resulting from a Debenture Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(a) or a Debenture Default specified in Section 5.06(a) or 5.06(b) of the Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, no payment of any Distribution (including any Additional Amounts) on, Redemption Price of, or Liquidation Distribution in respect of, any Common Security, and no other payment on account of the redemption, liquidation or other acquisition of Common Securities, shall be made unless payment in full in cash of all accumulated and unpaid Distributions (including any Additional Amounts) on all Outstanding Capital Securities for all Distribution Periods terminating on or prior thereto, or, in the case of payment of the Redemption Price, the full amount of such Redemption Price on all Outstanding Capital Securities then called for redemption, or in the case of payment of the Liquidation Distribution the full amount of such Liquidation Distribution on all Outstanding Capital Securities, shall have been made or provided for, and all funds immediately available to the Property Trustee shall first be applied to the payment in full in cash of all Distributions (including any Additional Amounts) on, the Redemption Price of, or the Liquidation Distribution in respect of Capital Securities then due and payable. The existence of an Event of Default does not entitle the Holders of Trust Securities to accelerate the maturity thereof.

21






      (b) In the case of the occurrence of any Event of Default resulting from a Debenture Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(a) of the Indenture or any Debenture Default specified in Section 5.06(a) or 5.06(b) of the Indenture, the Holder of the Common Securities shall have no right to act with respect to any such Event of Default under this Trust Agreement until the effects of all such Events of Default with respect to the Capital Securities have been cured, waived or otherwise eliminated. Until all such Events of Default under this Trust Agreement with respect to the Capital Securities have been so cured, waived or otherwise eliminated, the Property Trustee shall act solely on behalf of the Holders of the Capital Securities and not on behalf of the Holder of the Common Securities, and only the Holders of the Capital Securities will have the right to direct the Property Trustee to act on their behalf.

      SECTION 4.4. Payment Procedures.

      Payments of Distributions (including any Additional Amounts) in respect of the Capital Securities shall be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear on the Securities Register or, if the Capital Securities are held by a Clearing Agency, such Distributions shall be made to the Clearing Agency in immediately available funds, which will credit the relevant accounts on the applicable Distribution Dates. Payments of Distributions, other than Distributions payable at maturity, to Holders of $1,000,000 or more in aggregate Liquidation Amount of Capital Securities may be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds upon written request of such Holder to the Securities Registrar not later than 15 calendar days prior to the date on which the Distribution is payable. Payments in respect of the Common Securities shall be made in such manner as shall be mutually agreed between the Property Trustee and the Holder of the Common Securities.

      SECTION 4.5. Tax Returns and Reports.

      The Administrators shall prepare (or cause to be prepared), at the Depositor’s expense, and file all United States Federal, state and local tax and information returns and reports required to be filed by or in respect of the Issuer Trust. In this regard, the Administrators shall (a) prepare and file (or cause to be prepared and filed) all Internal Revenue Service forms required to be filed in respect of the Issuer Trust in each taxable year of the Issuer Trust and (b) prepare and furnish (or cause to be prepared and furnished) to each Holder all Internal Revenue Service forms required to be provided by the Issuer Trust. The Administrators shall provide the Depositor and the Property Trustee with a copy of all such returns and reports promptly after such filing or furnishing. The Issuer Trustees shall comply with United States Federal withholding and backup withholding tax laws and information reporting requirements with respect to any payments to Holders under the Trust Securities.

      On or before December 15 of each year during which any Capital Securities are Outstanding, the Administrators shall furnish to the Property Trustee such information as may be reasonably requested by the Property Trustee in order that the Property Trustee may prepare the information which it is required to report for such year on Internal Revenue Service Forms 1096 and 1099 pursuant to Section 6049 of the Code. Such information shall include the amount of original issue discount includible in income for each Outstanding Capital Security during such year.

22






      SECTION 4.6. Payment of Taxes, Duties, Etc. of the Issuer Trust.

      Upon receipt under the Junior Subordinated Debentures of Additional Sums, the Property Trustee shall promptly pay, or cause the Administrators to pay in connection with the filing of any tax returns or reports pursuant to Section 4.5, any taxes, duties or governmental charges of whatsoever nature (other than withholding taxes) imposed on the Issuer Trust by the United States or any other taxing authority.

      SECTION 4.7. Payments under Indenture or Pursuant to Direct Actions.

      Any amount payable hereunder to any Holder of Capital Securities shall be reduced by the amount of any corresponding payment such Holder has directly received pursuant to Section 5.01 of the Indenture or Section 5.13 of this Trust Agreement.

      SECTION 4.8. Liability of the Holder of Common Securities.

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

      SECTION 5.2. The Trust Securities Certificates.

      (a) The Trust Securities Certificates shall be issued in multiples of $25 and shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer Trust by manual or facsimile signature of at least one Administrator. Trust Securities Certificates bearing the manual signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Issuer Trust, shall be validly issued and entitled to the benefits of this Trust Agreement, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so authorized prior to the delivery of such Trust Securities Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of delivery of such Trust Securities Certificates. A transferee of a Trust Securities Certificate shall become a Holder, and shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Holder hereunder, upon due registration of such Trust Securities Certificate in such transferee’s name pursuant to Section 5.5.

      (b) Upon their original issuance, Capital Securities Certificates shall be issued in the form of one or more fully registered Global Capital Securities Certificates which will be deposited with or on behalf of the Depositary and registered in the name of the Depositary’s nominee. Unless and until it is exchangeable in whole or in part for the Capital Securities in

23






definitive form, a global security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor of such Depositary or a nominee of such successor.

      (c) Common Securities Certificates representing the Common Securities shall be issued to the Depositor in the form of one or more definitive Common Securities Certificates.

      SECTION 5.3. Execution and Delivery of Trust Securities Certificates.

      At the Closing Date, and on the date, if any, on which the Underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional Capital Securities pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, as applicable, at least one of the Administrators shall cause Trust Securities Certificates, in an aggregate Liquidation Amount as provided in Sections 2.4 and 2.5, to be executed on behalf of the Issuer Trust by manual or facsimile signature. The Capital Securities so executed shall be delivered to the Property Trustee and upon such delivery the Property Trustee shall manually authenticate upon the written order of the Depositor such Capital Securities Certificates and deliver such Capital Securities Certificates upon the written order of the Depositor, executed by an authorized officer thereof, without further corporate action by the Depositor, in authorized denominations.

      SECTION 5.4. Global Capital Security.

      (a) Any Global Capital Security issued under this Trust Agreement shall be registered in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency and delivered to such custodian therefor, and such Global Capital Security shall constitute a single Capital Security for all purposes of this Trust Agreement.

      (b) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Trust Agreement, a Global Capital Security may not be exchanged in whole or in part for Capital Securities registered, and no transfer of the Global Capital Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Clearing Agency for such Global Capital Security, or its nominee thereof unless (i) such Clearing Agency advises the Property Trustee in writing that such Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Clearing Agency with respect to such Global Capital Security or if it ceases to be a Clearing Agency under the Exchange Act, and the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor within 90 days after receiving such notice or becoming aware that the Depositary is no longer so registered, or (ii) the Issuer Trust at its option advises the Depositary in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency.

      (c) If a Capital Security is to be exchanged in whole or in part for a beneficial interest in a Global Capital Security, then either (i) such Global Capital Security shall be so surrendered for exchange or cancellation as provided in this Article V or (ii) the aggregate Liquidation Amount thereof shall be reduced or increased by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged or cancelled or equal to the Liquidation Amount of such other Capital Security to be so exchanged for a beneficial interest therein, as the case may be, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Security Registrar, whereupon the Property Trustee, in

24






accordance with the Applicable Procedures, shall instruct the Clearing Agency or its authorized representative to make a corresponding adjustment to its records. Upon any such surrender or adjustment of a Global Capital Security by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Property Trustee shall, subject to Section 5.4(b) and as otherwise provided in this Article V, authenticate and deliver any Capital Securities issuable in exchange for such Global Capital Security (or any portion thereof) in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. The Property Trustee shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, such instructions.

      (d) Every Capital Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Capital Security or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Article V or Article IV or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Capital Security, unless such Global Capital Security is registered in the name of a Person other than the Clearing Agency for such Global Capital Security or a nominee thereof.

      (e) The Clearing Agency or its nominee, as the registered owner of a Global Capital Security, shall be considered the Holder of the Capital Securities represented by such Global Capital Security for all purposes under this Trust Agreement and the Capital Securities, and owners of beneficial interests in such Global Capital Security shall hold such interests pursuant to the Applicable Procedures and, except as otherwise provided herein, shall not be entitled to receive physical delivery of any such Capital Securities in definitive form and shall not be considered the Holders thereof under this Trust Agreement. Accordingly, any such owner’s beneficial interest in the Global Capital Security shall be shown only on, and the transfer of such interest shall be effected only through, records maintained by the Clearing Agency or its nominee. Neither the Property Trustee nor the Securities Registrar shall have any liability in respect of any transfers effected by the Clearing Agency.

      (f) The rights of owners of beneficial interests in a Global Capital Security shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such owners and the Clearing Agency.

      SECTION 5.5. Registration of Transfer and Exchange Generally; Certain Transfers and Exchanges; Capital Securities Certificates.

      (a) The Property Trustee shall keep or cause to be kept at its Corporate Trust Office a register or registers for the purpose of registering Capital Securities Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Capital Securities Certificates in which the registrar and transfer agent with respect to the Capital Securities (the “Securities Registrar”), subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, shall provide for the registration of Capital Securities Certificates and Common Securities Certificates (subject to Section 5.11 in the case of Common Securities Certificates) and registration of transfers and exchanges of Capital Securities Certificates as herein provided. Such register is herein sometimes referred to as the “Securities Register.” The Property Trustee is hereby appointed “Securities Registrar” for the purpose of registering Capital Securities and transfers of Capital Securities as herein provided.

25






      Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Capital Security at the offices or agencies of the Property Trustee designated for that purpose an Administrator shall execute, and the Property Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Capital Securities of the same series of any authorized denominations of like tenor and aggregate Liquidation Amount and bearing such legends as may be required by this Trust Agreement.

      At the option of the Holder, Capital Securities may be exchanged for other Capital Securities of any authorized denominations, of like tenor and aggregate Liquidation Amount and bearing such legends as may be required by this Trust Agreement, upon surrender of the Capital Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any securities are so surrendered for exchange, an Administrator shall execute and the Property Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Capital Securities that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

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

      Every Capital Security presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Property Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Property Trustee and the Securities Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing.

      No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any transfer or exchange of Capital Securities, but the Property Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Capital Securities.

      Neither the Issuer Trust nor the Property Trustee shall be required, pursuant to the provisions of this Section, (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Capital Security during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the first mailing of the notice of redemption, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Capital Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any such Capital Security to be redeemed in part, any portion thereof not to be redeemed.

      (b) Certain Transfers and Exchanges. Trust Securities may only be transferred, in whole or in part, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Trust Agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any transfer or purported transfer of any Trust Security not made in accordance with this Trust Agreement shall be null and void.

      (i) Non-Global Security to Non-Global Security. A Capital Security that is not a Global Capital Security may be transferred, in whole or in part, to a Person who takes delivery in the form of another Trust Security that is not a Global Security as provided in Section 5.5(a) .

26






      (ii) Free Transferability. Subject to this Section 5.5, Capital Securities shall be freely transferable.

      (iii) Exchanges Between Global Capital Security and Non-Global Capital Security. A beneficial interest in a Global Capital Security may be exchanged for a Capital Security that is not a Global Capital Security as provided in Section 5.4.

      SECTION 5.6. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Trust Securities Certificates.

      If (a) any mutilated Trust Securities Certificate shall be surrendered to the Securities Registrar, or if the Securities Registrar shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Trust Securities Certificate and (b) there shall be delivered to the Securities Registrar and the Administrators such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice that such Trust Securities Certificate shall have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Administrators, or any one of them, on behalf of the Issuer Trust shall execute and make available for delivery, and the Property Trustee shall authenticate, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Trust Securities Certificate, a new Trust Securities Certificate of like class, tenor and denomination. In connection with the issuance of any new Trust Securities Certificate under this Section, the Administrators or the Securities Registrar 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 Trust Securities Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of an undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the Issuer Trust corresponding to that evidenced by the lost, stolen or destroyed Trust Certificate, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Trust Securities Certificate shall be found at any time.

      SECTION 5.7. Persons Deemed Holders.

      The Issuer Trustees or the Securities Registrar shall treat the Person in whose name any Trust Securities are issued as the owner of such Trust Securities for the purpose of receiving Distributions and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Issuer Trustees, the Administrators nor the Securities Registrar shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.

      SECTION 5.8. Access to List of Holders’ Names and Addresses.

      Each Holder and each Owner shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold the Depositor, the Property Trustee, or the Administrators accountable by reason of the disclosure of its name and address, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

      SECTION 5.9. Maintenance of Office or Agency.

      The Property Trustee shall designate, with the consent of the Administrators, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, an office or offices or agency or agencies where Capital Securities Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer Trustees in respect of the Trust Securities Certificates may be served. The Property Trustee initially designates its Corporate Trust Office at

27






101 Barclay Street, Floor 8 West, New York, NY 10286, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, as its corporate trust office for such purposes. The Property Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor, the Administrators and to the Holders of any change in the location of the Securities Register or any such office or agency.

      SECTION 5.10. Appointment of Paying Agent.

      The Paying Agent shall make Distributions to Holders from the Payment Account and shall report the amounts of such Distributions to the Property Trustee and the Administrators. 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. The Paying Agent shall initially be the Property Trustee. Any Person acting as Paying Agent shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent upon 30 days’ written notice to the Administrators and the Property Trustee. In the event that the Property Trustee shall no longer be the Paying Agent or a successor Paying Agent shall resign or its authority to act be revoked, the Property Trustee shall appoint a successor (which shall be a bank or trust company) that is reasonably acceptable to the Administrators to act as Paying Agent. Such successor Paying Agent or any additional Paying Agent appointed by the Property Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Issuer Trustees an instrument in which such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent shall agree with the Issuer Trustees 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 Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the Property Trustee and upon removal of a Paying Agent such Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to the Property Trustee. The provisions of Sections 8.1, 8.3 and 8.6 herein shall apply to the Bank also in its role as Paying Agent, for so long as the Bank shall act as Paying Agent and, to the extent applicable, to any other paying agent appointed hereunder. Any reference in this Trust Agreement to the Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent chosen by the Property Trustee unless the context requires otherwise.

      SECTION 5.11. Ownership of Common Securities by Depositor.

      At the Closing Date, the Depositor shall acquire and retain beneficial and record ownership of the Common Securities. Neither the Depositor nor any successor Holder of the Common Securities may transfer less than all the Common Securities, and the Depositor or any such successor Holder may transfer the Common Securities only (i) in connection with a consolidation or merger of the Depositor into another Person or any conveyance, transfer or lease by the Depositor of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, or (ii) to an Affiliate of the Depositor in compliance with applicable law (including the Securities Act and applicable state securities and blue sky laws). To the fullest extent permitted by law, any attempted transfer of the Common Securities, other than as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, shall be void. The Administrators shall cause each Common Securities Certificate issued to the Depositor to contain a legend stating “THIS CERTIFICATE IS NOT TRANSFERABLE EXCEPT TO THE DEPOSITOR OR AN AFFILIATE OF THE DEPOSITOR IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW AND SECTION 5.11 OF THE TRUST AGREEMENT.”

28






      SECTION 5.12. Notices to Clearing Agency.

      To the extent that a notice or other communication to the Holders is required under this Trust Agreement, for so long as Capital Securities are represented by a Global Capital Securities Certificate, the Administrators and the Issuer Trustees shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to the Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligations to the Owners.

      SECTION 5.13. Rights of Holders.

      (a) The legal title to the Trust Property is vested exclusively in the Property Trustee (in its capacity as such) in accordance with Section 2.9, and the Holders shall not have any right or title therein other than the undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the Issuer Trust conferred by their Trust Securities and they shall have no right to call for any partition or division of property, profits or rights of the Issuer Trust except as described below. The Trust Securities shall be personal property giving only the rights specifically set forth therein and in this Trust Agreement. The Trust Securities shall have no preemptive or similar rights and when issued and delivered to Holders against payment of the purchase price therefor, as provided herein, will be fully paid and nonassessable by the Issuer Trust. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.8, the Holders of the Trust Securities, in their capacities as such, 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.

      (b) For so long as any Capital Securities remain Outstanding, if, upon a Debenture Event of Default, the Debt Securities Trustee fails or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Junior Subordinated Debentures fail to declare the principal of all of the Junior Subordinated Debentures to be immediately due and payable, the Holders of at least 25% in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities then Outstanding shall have such right to make such declaration by a notice in writing to the Property Trustee, the Depositor and the Debt Securities Trustee.

      At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Junior Subordinated Debentures has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Debt Securities Trustee as provided in the Indenture, the Holders of a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities, by written notice to the Property Trustee, the Depositor and the Debt Securities Trustee, may waive all defaults and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

      (i) the Depositor has paid or deposited with the Debt Securities Trustee a sum sufficient to pay

      (A) all overdue installments of interest on all of the Junior Subordinated Debentures,

      (B) any accrued Additional Interest (as defined in the Indenture) on all of the Junior Subordinated Debentures,

29






      (C) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Junior Subordinated Debentures which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest and Additional Interest thereon at the rate borne by the Junior Subordinated Debentures, and

      (D) all sums paid or advanced by the Debt Securities Trustee under the Indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Debt Securities Trustee and the Property Trustee, their agents and counsel; and

      (ii) all Debenture Defaults with respect to the Junior Subordinated Debentures, other than the non-payment of the principal of the Junior Subordinated Debentures which has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.10 of the Indenture.

      If the Property Trustee fails to annul any such declaration and waive such default, the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities shall also have the right to rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences by written notice to the Depositor, the Property Trustee and the Debt Securities Trustee, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Clause (i) and (ii) of this Section 5.13(b) .

      The Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Capital Securities, waive any past Debenture Default, except a default in the payment of principal or interest (unless such default has been cured and a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest and principal due otherwise than by acceleration has been deposited with the Debt Securities Trustee) or a default in respect of a covenant or provision which under the Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding Junior Subordinated Debentures. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

      Upon receipt by the Property Trustee of written notice declaring such an acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof, by Holders of the Capital Securities all or part of which is represented by Global Capital Securities, a record date shall be established for determining Holders of Outstanding Capital Securities entitled to join in such notice, which record date shall be at the close of business on the day the Property Trustee receives such notice. The Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such notice, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, that, unless such declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having joined in such notice prior to the day which is 90 days after such record date, such notice of declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be canceled and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a Holder, or a proxy of a Holder, from giving, after expiration of such 90-day period, a new written notice of declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof, as the case may be, that is identical to a written notice which has been canceled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in which event a new record date shall be established pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.13(b) .

30






      (c) For so long as any Capital Securities remain Outstanding, to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the terms of this Trust Agreement and the Indenture, upon a Debenture Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(a) or a Debenture Default specified in Section 5.06(a) or 5.06(b) of the Indenture or a failure to comply with the Alternative Payment Mechanism or the Replacement Capital Obligation (each as defined in the Junior Subordinated Debentures), any Holder of Capital Securities shall have the right to institute a proceeding directly against the Depositor, pursuant to Section 5.01 of the Indenture, for enforcement of payment to such Holder of the principal amount of or interest on Junior Subordinated Debentures having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities of such Holder (a “Direct Action”). Except as set forth in Sections 5.13(b) and 5.13(c), the Holders of Capital Securities shall have no right to exercise directly any right or remedy available to the holders of, or in respect of, the Junior Subordinated Debentures.

ACTS OF HOLDERS; MEETINGS; VOTING

      SECTION 6.1. Limitations on Holder’s Voting Rights.

      (a) Except as provided in this Trust Agreement and in the Indenture and as otherwise required by law, no Holder of Capital Securities shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the administration, operation and management of the Issuer Trust or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth or contained in the terms of the Trust Securities Certificates be construed so as to constitute the Holders from time to time as members of an association.

      (b) So long as any Junior Subordinated Debentures are held by the Property Trustee on behalf of the Issuer Trust, the Property Trustee shall not (i) direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Debt Securities Trustee, or executing any trust or power conferred on the Property Trustee with respect to such Junior Subordinated Debentures, (ii) waive any past default that may be waived under Section 5.10 of the Indenture, (iii) exercise any right to rescind or annul a declaration that the principal of all the Junior Subordinated Debentures shall be due and payable or (iv) consent to any amendment, modification or termination of the Indenture or the Junior Subordinated Debentures, where such consent shall be required, without, in each case, obtaining the prior approval of the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities, provided, however, that where a consent under the Indenture would require the consent of each Holder of Junior Subordinated Debentures affected thereby, no such consent shall be given by the Property Trustee without the prior written consent of each Holder of Capital Securities. The Property Trustee shall not revoke any action previously authorized or approved by a vote of the Holders of Capital Securities, except by a subsequent vote of the Holders of Capital Securities. The Property Trustee shall notify all Holders of the Capital Securities of any notice of default received with respect to the Junior Subordinated Debentures. In addition to obtaining the foregoing approvals of the Holders of the Capital Securities, prior to taking any of the foregoing actions, the Property Trustee shall, at the expense of the Depositor, obtain an Opinion of Counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that such action will not cause the Issuer Trust to be taxable as a corporation, a partnership

31






or any other arrangement other than as a grantor trust for United States Federal income tax purposes.

      (c) If any proposed amendment to the Trust Agreement provides for, or the Issuer Trust otherwise proposes to effect, (i) any action that would adversely affect in any material respect the interests, powers, preferences or special rights of the Capital Securities, whether by way of amendment to the Trust Agreement or otherwise, or (ii) the dissolution, winding-up or termination of the Issuer Trust, other than pursuant to the terms of this Trust Agreement, then the Holders of Outstanding Capital Securities as a class will be entitled to vote on such amendment or proposal and such amendment or proposal shall not be effective except with the approval of the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities.

      SECTION 6.2. Notice of Meetings.

      Notice of all meetings of the Holders, stating the time, place and purpose of the meeting, shall be given by the Property Trustee pursuant to Section 10.8 to each Holder of record, at his registered address, at least 15 days and not more than 90 days before the meeting. At any such meeting, any business properly before the meeting may be so considered whether or not stated in the notice of the meeting. Any adjourned meeting may be held as adjourned without further notice.

      SECTION 6.3. Meetings of Holders.

      No annual meeting of Holders is required to be held. The Property Trustee, however, shall call a meeting of Holders to vote on any matter upon the written request of the Holders of record of 25% of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities and the Administrators or the Property Trustee may, at any time in their discretion, call a meeting of Holders of Capital Securities to vote on any matters as to which Holders are entitled to vote.

      Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of Holders of the Capital Securities.

      If a quorum is present at a meeting, an affirmative vote by the Holders of record present, in person or by proxy, holding Capital Securities representing at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities held by the Holders present, either in person or by proxy, at such meeting shall constitute the action of the Holders of Capital Securities, unless this Trust Agreement requires a greater number of affirmative votes.

      SECTION 6.4. Voting Rights.

      Holders shall be entitled to one vote for each $25 of Liquidation Amount represented by their Outstanding Trust Securities in respect of any matter as to which such Holders are entitled to vote.

32






      SECTION 6.5. Proxies, etc.

      At any meeting of Holders, any Holder entitled to vote thereat may vote by proxy, provided that no proxy shall be voted at any meeting unless it shall have been placed on file with the Property Trustee, or with such other officer or agent of the Issuer Trust as the Property Trustee may direct, for verification prior to the time at which such vote shall be taken. Pursuant to a resolution of the Property Trustee, proxies may be solicited in the name of the Property Trustee or one or more officers of the Property Trustee. Only Holders of record shall be entitled to vote. When Trust Securities are held jointly by several Persons, any one of them may vote at any meeting in person or by proxy in respect of such Trust Securities, but if more than one of them shall be present at such meeting in person or by proxy, and such joint owners or their proxies so present disagree as to any vote to be cast, such vote shall not be received in respect of such Trust Securities. A proxy purporting to be executed by or on behalf of a Holder shall be deemed valid unless challenged at or prior to its exercise, and the burden of proving invalidity shall rest on the challenger. No proxy shall be valid more than three years after its date of execution.

      SECTION 6.6. Holder Action by Written Consent.

      Any action which may be taken by Holders at a meeting may be taken without a meeting if Holders holding at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of all Trust Securities entitled to vote in respect of such action (or such larger proportion thereof as shall be required by any other provision of this Trust Agreement) shall consent to the action in writing.

      SECTION 6.7. Record Date for Voting and Other Purposes.

      For the purposes of determining the Holders who are entitled to notice of and to vote at any meeting or by written consent, or to participate in any distribution on the Trust Securities in respect of which a record date is not otherwise provided for in this Trust Agreement, or for the purpose of any other action, the Administrators or Property Trustee may from time to time fix a date, not more than 90 days prior to the date of any meeting of Holders or the payment of a distribution or other action, as the case may be, as a record date for the determination of the identity of the Holders of record for such purposes.

      SECTION 6.8. Acts of Holders.

      Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Trust Agreement 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 otherwise expressly provided herein, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Property Trustee. 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 Trust Agreement and (subject to Section 8.1) conclusive in favor of the Issuer Trustees, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

33






      The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which any Issuer Trustee or Administrator receiving the same deems sufficient.

      The ownership of Trust Securities shall be proved by the Securities Register.

      Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Trust Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Trust Security and the Holder of every Trust Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Issuer Trustees, the Administrators or the Issuer Trust in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Trust Security.

      Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Trust Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the Liquidation Amount of such Trust Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such Liquidation Amount.

      If any dispute shall arise among the Holders, the Administrators or the Issuer Trustees with respect to the authenticity, validity or binding nature of any request, demand, authorization, direction, consent, waiver or other Act of such Holder or Issuer Trustee under this Article VI, then the determination of such matter by the Property Trustee shall be conclusive with respect to such matter.

      SECTION 6.9. Inspection of Records.

      Upon reasonable notice to the Administrators and the Property Trustee, the records of the Issuer Trust shall be open to inspection by Holders during normal business hours for any purpose reasonably related to such Holder’s interest as a Holder.

ARTICLE VIII

THE ISSUER TRUSTEES; THE ADMINISTRATORS

      SECTION 8.1. Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

      (a) The duties and responsibilities of the Issuer Trustees and the Administrators shall be as provided by this Trust Agreement and, in the case of the Property Trustee, by the Trust Indenture Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Trust Agreement shall require the Issuer Trustees or the Administrators to expend or risk their own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of their duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of their rights or powers, if they shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Trust Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Issuer Trustees or the Administrators shall be subject to the provisions of this Section. Nothing in this Trust Agreement shall be construed to release an Administrator from liability for its own grossly negligent action, its own grossly negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct. To the extent that, at law or in equity, an Issuer Trustee or Administrator has duties and liabilities relating to the Issuer Trust or to the Holders, such Issuer Trustee or Administrator shall not be liable to the Issuer Trust or to any Holder for such Issuer Trustee’s or Administrator’s good faith reliance on the provisions of this Trust Agreement. The provisions of this Trust Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of the Issuer Trustees and Administrators otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Depositor and the Holders to replace such other duties and liabilities of the Issuer Trustees and Administrators.

      (b) All payments made by the Property Trustee or a Paying Agent in respect of the Trust Securities shall be made only from the revenue and proceeds from the Trust Property and only to the extent that there shall be sufficient revenue or proceeds from the Trust Property to enable the Property Trustee or a Paying Agent to make payments in accordance with the terms hereof. Each Holder, by its acceptance of a Trust Security, agrees that it will look solely to the revenue and proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent legally available for distribution to it as herein provided and that neither the Issuer Trustees nor the Administrators are personally liable to it for any amount distributable in respect of any Trust Security or for any other liability in respect of any Trust Security. This Section 8.1(b) does not limit the liability of the Issuer Trustees expressly set forth elsewhere in this Trust Agreement or, in the case of the Property Trustee, in the Trust Indenture Act.

      (c) The Property Trustee, before the occurrence of any Event of Default and after the curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, shall undertake to perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Trust Agreement (including pursuant to Section 10.10), and no implied covenants shall be read into this Trust Agreement against the Property Trustee. If an Event of Default has occurred (that has not been cured or waived pursuant to Article V of the Indenture), the Property Trustee shall enforce this Trust Agreement for the benefit of the Holders

36






and shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Trust Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise thereof, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

      (d) No provision of this Trust Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Property Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:

      (i) prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default that may have occurred:

      (A) the duties and obligations of the Property Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Trust Agreement (including pursuant to Section 10.10), and the Property Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Trust Agreement (including pursuant to Section 10.10); and

      (B) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Property Trustee, the Property Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Property Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Trust Agreement; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions that by any provision hereof or of the Trust Indenture Act 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 Trust Agreement;

      (ii) the Property Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by an authorized officer of the Property Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Property Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

      (iii) the Property Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Property Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Property Trustee under this Trust Agreement;

      (iv) the Property Trustee’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safe keeping and physical preservation of the Junior Subordinated Debentures and the Payment 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 Trust Agreement and the Trust Indenture Act;

      (v) the Property Trustee shall not be liable for any interest on any money received by it except as it may otherwise agree with the Depositor; and money held by

37






the Property Trustee need not be segregated from other funds held by it except in relation to the Payment Account maintained by the Property Trustee pursuant to Section 3.1 and except to the extent otherwise required by law;

      (vi) the Property Trustee shall not be responsible for monitoring the compliance by the Administrators or the Depositor with their respective duties under this Trust Agreement, nor shall the Property Trustee be liable for the default or misconduct of any other Issuer Trustee, the Administrators or the Depositor; and

      (vii) no provision of this Trust Agreement 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 the Property Trustee shall have reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment of such funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it under the terms of this Trust Agreement or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

      (e) The Administrators shall not be responsible for monitoring the compliance by the Issuer Trustees or the Depositor with their respective duties under this Trust Agreement, nor shall either Administrator be liable for the default or misconduct of any other Administrator, the Issuer Trustees or the Depositor.

      SECTION 8.2. Certain Notices.

      Within ten Business Days after the occurrence of any Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Property Trustee, the Property Trustee shall transmit, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 10.8, notice of such Event of Default to the Holders and the Administrators, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.

      Within ten Business Days after the receipt of notice of the Depositor’s exercise of its right to defer the payment of interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures pursuant to the Indenture, the Property Trustee shall transmit, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 10.8, notice of such exercise to the Holders and the Administrators, unless such exercise shall have been revoked.

      SECTION 8.3. Certain Rights of Property Trustee.

      Subject to the provisions of Section 8.1:

      (a) the Property Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting in good faith upon any resolution, Opinion of Counsel, certificate, written representation of a Holder or transferee, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

      (b) any direction or act of the Depositor contemplated by this Trust Agreement shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate;

38






      (c) the Property Trustee shall have no duty to see to any recording, filing or registration of any instrument (including any financing or continuation statement or any filing under tax or securities laws) or any re-recording, refiling or registration thereof;

      (d) the Property Trustee may consult with counsel of its own choosing (which counsel may be counsel to the Depositor or any of its Affiliates, and may include any of its employees) and the advice of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon and in accordance with such advice; the Property Trustee shall have the right at any time to seek instructions concerning the administration of this Trust Agreement from any court of competent jurisdiction;

      (e) the Property Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Trust Agreement at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Trust Agreement, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Property Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction; provided, that nothing contained in this Section 8.3(e) shall be taken to relieve the Property Trustee, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, of its obligation to exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Trust Agreement;

      (f) the Property Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by one or more Holders, but the Property Trustee may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit;

      (g) the Property Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any of its duties hereunder either directly or by or through its agents or attorneys, provided that the Property Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder;

      (h) whenever in the administration of this Trust Agreement the Property Trustee shall deem it desirable to receive instructions with respect to enforcing any remedy or right or taking any other action hereunder, the Property Trustee (i) may request instructions from the Holders (which instructions may only be given by the Holders of the same proportion in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities as would be entitled to direct the Property Trustee under the terms of the Trust Securities in respect of such remedy, right or action), (ii) may refrain from enforcing such remedy or right or taking such other action until such instructions are received, and (iii) shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with such instructions;

      (i) except as otherwise expressly provided by this Trust Agreement, the Property Trustee shall not be under any obligation to take any action that is discretionary under the provisions of this Trust Agreement. No provision of this Trust Agreement shall be deemed to impose any duty or obligation on any Issuer Trustee or Administrator to perform any act or acts or exercise any right, power, duty or obligation conferred or imposed on it, in any jurisdiction in

39






which it shall be illegal, or in which the Property Trustee shall be unqualified or incompetent in accordance with applicable law, to perform any such act or acts, or to exercise any such right, power, duty or obligation. No permissive power or authority available to any Issuer Trustee or Administrator shall be construed to be a duty;

      (j) if (i) in performing its duties under this Trust Agreement the Property Trustee is required to decide between alternative courses of action or (ii) in construing any of the provisions of this Trust Agreement the Property Trustee finds the same ambiguous or inconsistent with any other provisions contained herein or (iii) the Property Trustee is unsure of the application of any provision of this Trust Agreement, then, except as to any matter as to which the Holders are entitled to vote under the terms of this Trust Agreement, the Property Trustee shall deliver a notice to the Depositor requesting written instructions of the Depositor as to the course of action to be taken and the Property Trustee shall take such action, or refrain from taking such action, as the Property Trustee shall be instructed in writing to take, or to refrain from taking, by the Depositor; provided, however, that if the Property Trustee does not receive such instructions of the Depositor within ten Business Days after it has delivered such notice, or such reasonably shorter period of time set forth in such notice (which to the extent practicable shall not be less than two Business Days), it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action not inconsistent with this Trust Agreement as it shall deem advisable and in the best interests of the Holders, in which event the Property Trustee shall have no liability except for its own bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct;

      (k) whenever in the administration of this Trust Agreement, the Property Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be established before undertaking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Property Trustee (unless other evidence is herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, request and conclusively rely upon an Officer’s Certificate which, upon receipt of such request, shall be promptly delivered by the Depositor or the Administrator;

      (l) when the Property Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with a Bankruptcy Event, such expenses (including the fees and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for such services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy law or law relating to creditors’ rights generally; and

      (m) the Property Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of an Event of Default unless such Event of Default has occurred as a result of the act or failure to act of the Property Trustee, a Responsible Officer of the Property Trustee obtains actual knowledge of such event or the Property Trustee receives written notice of such event from Holders of at least 25% of the Outstanding Trust Securities (based upon Liquidation Amount).

      SECTION 8.4. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities.

      The recitals contained herein and in the Trust Securities Certificates shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer Trust, and the Issuer Trustees and the Administrators do not assume any responsibility for their correctness. The Issuer Trustees and the Administrators shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor of the proceeds of the Junior Subordinated Debentures.

40






      SECTION 8.5. May Hold Securities.

      The Administrators, any Issuer Trustee or any other agent of any Issuer Trustee or the Issuer Trust, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Trust Securities and, subject to Sections 8.8 and 8.13, and except as provided in the definition of the term “Outstanding” in Article I, may otherwise deal with the Issuer Trust with the same rights it would have if it were not an Administrator, Issuer Trustee or such other agent.

      SECTION 8.6. Compensation; Indemnity; Fees.

      The Depositor, as borrower, agrees:

      (a) to pay to the Issuer Trustees from time to time such reasonable compensation for all services rendered by them hereunder as the parties shall agree from time to time (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);

      (b) to reimburse the Issuer Trustees upon request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Issuer Trustees in accordance with any provision of this Trust Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to their negligence or willful misconduct; and

      (c) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to indemnify and hold harmless (i) each Issuer Trustee, (ii) each Administrator, (iii) any Affiliate of any Issuer Trustee, (iv) any officer, director, shareholder, employee, representative or agent of any Issuer Trustee, and (v) any employee or agent of the Issuer Trust (referred to herein as an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any loss, damage, liability, tax, penalty, expense or claim of any kind or nature whatsoever incurred by such Indemnified Person arising out of or in connection with the creation, operation or dissolution of the Issuer Trust or any act or omission performed or omitted by such Indemnified Person in good faith on behalf of the Issuer Trust and in a manner such Indemnified Person reasonably believed to be within the scope of authority conferred on such Indemnified Person by this Trust Agreement, except that no Indemnified Person (other than an Administrator) shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Indemnified Person by reason of negligence or willful misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions, and further provided that no Administrator shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Administrator by reason of gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions.

      The provisions of this Section 8.6 shall survive the termination of this Trust Agreement or the earlier resignation or removal of any Issuer Trustee.

      No Issuer Trustee may claim any lien or charge on any Trust Property as a result of any amount due pursuant to this Section 8.6.

      The Depositor, any Administrator and any Issuer Trustee (subject to Section 8.8) may engage in or possess an interest in other business ventures of any nature or description,

41






independently or with others, similar or dissimilar to the business of the Issuer Trust, and the Issuer Trust and the Holders of Trust Securities shall have no rights by virtue of this Trust Agreement 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 Issuer Trust, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper. Neither the Depositor, any Administrator, nor any Issuer Trustee shall be obligated to present any particular investment or other opportunity to the Issuer Trust even if such opportunity is of a character that, if presented to the Issuer Trust, could be taken by the Issuer Trust, and the Depositor, any Administrator or any Issuer 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 Issuer Trustee may engage or be interested in any financial or other transaction with the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor, or may act as depository for, trustee or agent for, or act on any committee or body of holders of, securities or other obligations of the Depositor or its Affiliates.

      In the event that the Property Trustee is also acting as Paying Agent or Securities Registrar hereunder, the rights and protections afforded to the Property Trustee pursuant to this Article VIII shall also be afforded to such Paying Agent or Securities Registrar.

      SECTION 8.7. Corporate Property Trustee Required; Eligibility of Trustees and Administrators.

      (a) There shall at all times be a Property Trustee hereunder with respect to the Trust Securities. The Property Trustee shall be a Person that is a national- or state-chartered bank and eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If any such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of its supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, 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. If at any time the Property Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

      (b) There shall at all times be one or more Administrators hereunder. Each Administrator 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 persons authorized to bind that entity. An employee, officer or Affiliate of the Depositor may serve as an Administrator.

      (c) There shall at all times be a Delaware Trustee. The Delaware Trustee shall either be (i) a natural person who is at least 21 years of age and a resident of the State of Delaware or (ii) a legal entity with its principal place of business in the State of Delaware and that otherwise meets the requirements of applicable Delaware law that shall act through one or more persons authorized to bind such entity.

      SECTION 8.8. Conflicting Interests.

      (a) If the Property Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Property Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or

42






resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Trust Agreement.

      (b) The Guarantee Agreement and the Indenture shall be deemed to be sufficiently described in this Trust Agreement for the purposes of clause (i) of the first proviso contained in Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

      SECTION 8.9. Co-Trustees and Separate Trustee.

      Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time or times, 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 at the time be located, the Property Trustee shall have power to appoint, and upon the written request of the Property Trustee, the Depositor and the Administrators shall for such purpose join with the Property Trustee in the execution, delivery, and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to appoint, one or more Persons approved by the Property Trustee either to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Property Trustee, of all or any part of such Trust Property, or to the extent required by law to act as separate trustee of any such 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 the capacity aforesaid, any property, title, right or power deemed necessary or desirable, subject to the other provisions of this Section. Any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed pursuant to this Section shall either be (i) a natural person who is at least 21 years of age and a resident of the United States or (ii) a legal entity with its principal place of business in the United States that shall act through one or more persons authorized to bind such entity.

      Should any written instrument from the Depositor be required by any co-trustee or separate trustee so appointed for more fully confirming to such co-trustee or separate trustee such property, title, right, or power, any and all such instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Depositor.

      Every co-trustee or separate trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, but to such extent only, be appointed subject to the following terms, namely:

      (a) The Trust Securities shall be executed by one or more Administrators, and the Capital Securities shall be authenticated by the manual signature of the Property Trustee and delivered and all rights, powers, duties, and obligations hereunder in respect of the custody of securities, cash and other personal property held by, or required to be deposited or pledged with, the Property Trustees specified hereunder, shall be exercised, solely by the Property Trustee and not by such co-trustee or separate trustee.

      (b) The rights, powers, duties, and obligations hereby conferred or imposed upon the Property Trustee in respect of any property covered by such appointment shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Property Trustee and such co-trustee or separate trustee jointly, as shall be provided in the instrument appointing such co-trustee or separate trustee, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed, the Property Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to

43






perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such co-trustee or separate trustee.

      (c) The Property Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing executed by it, with the written concurrence of the Depositor, may accept the resignation of or remove any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed under this Section, and, in case a Debenture Default has occurred and is continuing, the Property Trustee shall have power to accept the resignation of, or remove, any such co-trustee or separate trustee without the concurrence of the Depositor. Upon the written request of the Property Trustee, the Depositor shall join with the Property Trustee in the execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to effectuate such resignation or removal. A successor to any co-trustee or separate trustee so resigned or removed may be appointed in the manner provided in this Section.

      (d) No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of the Property Trustee or any other trustee hereunder.

      (e) The Property Trustee shall not be liable by reason of any act of a co-trustee or separate trustee or any employees or agents of a co-trustee and separate trustee nor shall it be liable for the supervision of a co-trustee or separate trustee or employees or agents of a co-trustee and separate trustee.

      (f) Any Act of Holders delivered to the Property Trustee shall be deemed to have been delivered to each such co-trustee and separate trustee.

      SECTION 8.10. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

      No resignation or removal of any Issuer Trustee (the “Relevant Trustee”) and no appointment of a successor Issuer Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Issuer Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11.

      Subject to the immediately preceding paragraph, a Relevant Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Holders. The Relevant Trustee shall appoint a successor by requesting from at least three Persons meeting the eligibility requirements its expenses and charges to serve as the Relevant Trustee on a form provided by the Administrators, and selecting the Person who agrees to the lowest expenses and charges. If the instrument of acceptance by the successor Issuer Trustee required by Section 8.11 shall not have been delivered to the Relevant Trustee within 60 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the Relevant Trustee may petition, at the expense of the Issuer Trust, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Relevant Trustee.

      Unless a Debenture Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee may be removed at any time by an Act of the Holders of a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Common Securities. The Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities, delivered to the Relevant Trustee (in its individual capacity and on behalf of the Issuer Trust) (i) for cause, or (ii) if a Debenture Default shall have occurred and be

44






continuing at any time. If the instrument of such removal shall not have been delivered to the Relevant Trustee within 60 days after such Act, the Relevant Trustee may petition, at the expense of the Issuer Trust, any court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a successor Relevant Trustee.

      If any Issuer Trustee shall resign, it shall appoint its successor. If a resigning Issuer Trustee shall fail to appoint a successor, or if an Issuer Trustee shall be removed or become incapable of acting as Issuer Trustee, or if any vacancy shall occur in the office of any Issuer Trustee for any cause, the Holders of the Capital Securities, by Act of the Holders of record of not less than 25% in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities then Outstanding delivered to such Relevant Trustee, shall promptly appoint a successor Relevant Trustee or Trustees, and such successor Issuer Trustee shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11. If no successor Relevant Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Holders of the Capital Securities and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 8.11, any Holder, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, or any other Issuer Trustee, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Relevant Trustee.

      The Property Trustee shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of an Issuer Trustee and each appointment of a successor Issuer Trustee to all Holders in the manner provided in Section 10.8 and shall give notice to the Depositor and to the Administrators. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Relevant Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office if it is the Property Trustee.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Trust Agreement, in the event any Delaware Trustee who is a natural person dies or becomes, in the opinion of the Holders of the Common Securities, incompetent or incapacitated, the vacancy created by such death, incompetence or incapacity may be filled by the Property Trustee following the procedures regarding expenses and charges set forth above (with the successor in each case being a Person who satisfies the eligibility requirements for Administrators or Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, set forth in Section 8.7) .

      SECTION 8.11. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

      In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Relevant Trustee, the retiring Relevant Trustee and each such successor Relevant Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities shall execute, acknowledge and deliver an amendment hereto wherein each successor Relevant Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (a) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Relevant Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Relevant Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities and the Issuer Trust, and (b) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Trust Agreement as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the Issuer Trust by more than one Relevant Trustee and upon the execution and delivery of such amendment the resignation or removal of the retiring Relevant Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Relevant Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Relevant Trustee; but, on request of the Issuer Trust or any successor Relevant Trustee such retiring Relevant Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, duly assign, transfer and deliver to

45






such successor Relevant Trustee all Trust Property, all proceeds thereof and money held by such retiring Relevant Trustee hereunder with respect to the Trust Securities and the Issuer Trust.

      Upon request of any such successor Relevant Trustee, the Issuer Trust shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Relevant Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the first or second preceding paragraph, as the case may be.

      No successor Relevant Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Relevant Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article.

      SECTION 8.12. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.

      Any Person into which an Issuer Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Issuer Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of such Issuer Trustee, shall be the successor of such Issuer Trustee hereunder, provided that 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.

      SECTION 8.13. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Depositor or Issuer Trust.

      If and when the Property Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Depositor (or any other obligor upon the Trust Securities), the Property Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Depositor (or any such other obligor) as is required by the Trust Indenture Act.

      SECTION 8.14. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

      In case of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other similar judicial proceeding relative to the Issuer Trust or any other obligor upon the Trust Securities or the property of the Issuer Trust or of such other obligor, the Property Trustee (irrespective of whether any Distributions on the Trust Securities shall then be due and payable and irrespective of whether the Property Trustee shall have made any demand on the Issuer Trust for the payment of any past due Distributions) shall be entitled and empowered, to the fullest extent permitted by law, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

      (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of any Distributions owing and unpaid in respect of the Trust 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 monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator,

46






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 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 compensation affecting the Trust 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.

      SECTION 8.15. Reports by Property Trustee.

      (a) Not later than May 15 of each year commencing with May 15, 2007, the Property Trustee shall provide to the Holders of the Trust Securities such reports as are required by Section 313 of the Trust Indenture Act, if any, in the form, in the manner and at the times provided by Section 313 of the Trust Indenture Act. The Property Trustee shall also comply with the requirements of Section 313(d) of the Trust Indenture Act.

      (b) A copy of each such report shall, at the time of such transmission to Holders, be filed by the Property Trustee with the Depositor.

      SECTION 8.16. Reports to the Property Trustee.

      Each of the Depositor and the Administrators on behalf of the Issuer Trust shall provide to the Property Trustee, the Commission and the Holders of the Trust Securities, as applicable, such documents, reports and information as required by Section 314(a)(1) - (3) (if any) of the Trust Indenture Act and the compliance certificates required by Section 314(a)(4) and (c) of the Trust Indenture Act (provided that any certificate to be provided pursuant to Section 314(a)(4) of the Trust Indenture Act shall be provided within 120 days of the end of each fiscal year of the Issuer Trust).

      SECTION 8.17. Evidence of Compliance with Conditions Precedent.

      Each of the Depositor and the Administrators on behalf of the Issuer Trust shall provide to the Property Trustee such evidence of compliance with any conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Trust Agreement which relate to any of the matters set forth in Section 314(c) of the Trust Indenture Act. Any certificate or opinion required to be given pursuant to Section 314(c) shall comply with Section 314(e) of the Trust Indenture Act.

      SECTION 8.18. Number of Issuer Trustees.

      (a) The number of Issuer Trustees shall be two. The Property Trustee and the Delaware Trustee may be the same Person, in which case the number of Issuer Trustees may be one.

47






      (b) If an Issuer Trustee ceases to hold office for any reason, a vacancy shall occur. The vacancy shall be filled with an Issuer Trustee appointed in accordance with Section 8.10.

      (c) The death, resignation, retirement, removal, bankruptcy, dissolution, termination, incompetence or incapacity to perform the duties of an Issuer Trustee shall not operate to dissolve, terminate or annul the Issuer Trust or terminate this Trust Agreement.

      SECTION 8.19. Delegation of Power.

      (a) Any Administrator 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 2.7(a) or making any governmental filing; and

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

      SECTION 8.20. Appointment of Administrators.

      (a) The number of Administrators shall be such number as shall be fixed from time to time by the Holders of a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Common Securities. The Administrators shall be appointed by the Holders of a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Common Securities and may be removed by the Holders of a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Common Securities or may resign at any time. Upon any resignation or removal, the Depositor shall appoint a successor Administrator. Each Administrator shall execute this Trust Agreement thereby agreeing to comply with, and be legally bound by, all of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Trust Agreement. If at any time there is no Administrator, the Property Trustee or any Holder who has been a Holder of Trust Securities for at least six months may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of one or more Administrators.

      (b) Whenever a vacancy in the number of Administrators shall occur, until such vacancy is filled by the appointment of an Administrator in accordance with this Section 8.20, the Administrators in office, regardless of their number (and notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust Agreement), shall have all the powers granted to the Administrators and shall discharge all the duties imposed upon the Administrators by this Trust Agreement.

      (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, or any other provision of this Trust Agreement, in the event any Administrator or a Delaware Trustee who is a natural person dies or becomes, in the opinion of the Holders of a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Common Securities, incompetent, or incapacitated, the vacancy created by such death, incompetence or incapacity may be filled by the remaining Administrators, if there were at least two of them prior to such vacancy, and by the Depositor, if there were not two such Administrators immediately prior to such vacancy (with the successor in each case being a Person who satisfies the eligibility requirement for Administrators or Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, set forth in Section 8.7) .

ARTICLE IX

DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND MERGER

      SECTION 9.1. Dissolution Upon Expiration Date.

      Unless earlier dissolved, the Issuer Trust shall automatically dissolve on October 15, 2066 (the “Expiration Date”), and thereafter the Trust Property shall be distributed in accordance with Section 9.4.

      SECTION 9.2. Early Termination.

      The first to occur of any of the following events is an “Early Termination Event” and the occurrence of which shall cause the dissolution of the Issuer Trust:

      (a) the occurrence of the appointment of a receiver or other similar official in any liquidation, insolvency or similar proceeding with respect to the Depositor or all or substantially all of its property, or a court or other governmental agency shall enter a decree or order and such decree or order shall remain unstayed and undischarged for a period of 60 days, unless the Depositor shall transfer the Common Securities as provided by Section 5.11, in which case this provision shall refer instead to any such successor Holder of the Common Securities;

      (b) the written direction to the Property Trustee from the Holder of the Common Securities at any time to dissolve the Issuer Trust and to distribute a Like Amount of the Junior Subordinated Debentures to Holders in exchange for the Capital Securities (which direction, subject to Section 9.4(a) and to obtaining any required regulatory approval, is optional and wholly within the discretion of the Holders of the Common Securities);

      (c) the redemption of all of the Capital Securities in connection with the redemption of all the Junior Subordinated Debentures or the maturity of the Junior Subordinated Debentures; and

      (d) the entry of an order for dissolution of the Issuer Trust by a court of competent jurisdiction.

      SECTION 9.3. Termination.

      As soon as is practicable after the occurrence of an event referred to in Section 9.1 or 9.2, and upon the completion of the winding up and liquidation of the Issuer Trust, the Administrators or the Issuer Trustees (each of whom is hereby authorized to take such action) shall file a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware terminating the Trust and, upon such filing, the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Issuer Trustees, the Administrators and the Issuer Trust shall terminate.

      SECTION 9.4. Liquidation.

      (a) If an Early Termination Event specified in clause (a), (b) or (d) of Section 9.2 occurs or upon the Expiration Date, the Issuer Trust shall be wound up and liquidated by the

49






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 Issuer Trust in accordance with Section 3808(e) of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, to each Holder a Like Amount of Junior Subordinated Debentures, subject to Section 9.4(d) . 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:

      (i) state the Liquidation Date;

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

      (iii) provide such information with respect to the mechanics by which Holders may exchange Trust Securities Certificates for Junior Subordinated Debentures, or if Section 9.4(d) applies, receive a Liquidation Distribution, as the Administrators or the Property Trustee shall deem appropriate.

      (b) Except where Section 9.2(c) or 9.4(d) applies, in order to effect the liquidation of the Issuer Trust and distribution of the Junior Subordinated Debentures 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 Junior Subordinated Debentures in exchange for the Outstanding Trust Securities Certificates.

      (c) Except where Section 9.2(c) or 9.4(d) applies, after the Liquidation Date, (i) the Capital Securities and Common Securities will no longer be deemed to be Outstanding, (ii) the Clearing Agency for the Capital Securities or its nominee, as the registered holder of the Global Capital Securities Certificate, shall receive a registered global certificate or certificates representing the Junior Subordinated Debentures to be delivered upon such distribution with respect to Capital Securities held by the Clearing Agency or its nominee, and, (iii) any Capital Securities Certificates not held by the Clearing Agency for the Capital Securities or its nominee as specified in clause (ii) above will be deemed to represent Junior Subordinated Debentures having a principal amount equal to the stated Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities represented thereby and bearing accrued and unpaid interest in an amount equal to the accumulated and unpaid Distributions on such Capital Securities until such certificates are presented to the Securities Registrar for transfer or reissuance.

      (d) If, notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 9.4, whether because of an order for dissolution entered by a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise, distribution of the Junior Subordinated Debentures is not practical, or if any Early Termination Event specified in clause (c) of Section 9.2 occurs, the Issuer 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

50






determines. In such event, on the date of the dissolution of the Issuer Trust, unless the Trust Securities have been redeemed or are to be redeemed on such date pursuant to Article IV, Holders will be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Issuer Trust available for distribution to Holders, after paying or making reasonable provision to pay all claims and obligations of the Issuer Trust in accordance with Section 3808(e) of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, an amount equal to the aggregate of Liquidation Amount per Trust 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 Issuer 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 Issuer Trust on the Trust Securities shall be paid on a pro rata basis (based upon Liquidation Amounts). The Holders of the Common Securities will be entitled to receive Liquidation Distributions upon any such dissolution pro rata (determined as aforesaid) with Holders of Capital Securities, except that, if a Debenture Event of Default or Debenture Default specified in Section 5.06(a) or 5.06(b) of the Indenture has occurred and is continuing, the Capital Securities shall have a priority over the Common Securities as provided in Section 4.3.

      SECTION 9.5. Mergers, Consolidations, Amalgamations or Replacements of the Issuer Trust.

      The Issuer Trust may not merge with or into, consolidate, amalgamate, or be replaced by, or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to, any entity, except pursuant to this Section 9.5 or Section 9.4. At the request of the Holders of the Common Securities, and with the consent of the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities, the Issuer Trust may merge with or into, consolidate, amalgamate, 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, however, that (i) such successor entity either (a) expressly assumes all of the obligations of the Issuer Trust with respect to the Capital Securities or (b) substitutes for the Capital Securities other securities having substantially the same terms as the Capital Securities (the “Successor Securities”) so long as the Successor Securities have the same priority as the Capital Securities with respect to distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption and otherwise, (ii) a trustee of such successor entity possessing the same powers and duties as the Property Trustee is appointed to hold the Junior Subordinated Debentures, (iii) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not cause the Capital 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 Capital Securities (including any Successor Securities) in any material respect, (v) such successor entity has a purpose substantially identical to that of the Issuer Trust, (vi) prior to such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, the Issuer Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel from independent counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that (a) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the Holders of the Capital Securities (including any Successor Securities) in any material respect, and (b) following such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, neither the Issuer Trust

51






nor such successor entity will be required to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act and (vii) the Depositor or any permitted transferee to whom it has transferred the Common Securities hereunder own all of the common securities of such successor entity and guarantees the obligations of such successor entity under the Successor Securities at least to the extent provided by the Guarantee Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer Trust shall not, except with the consent of Holders of 100% in Liquidation Amount of the Capital 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 Issuer Trust or the successor entity to be taxable as a corporation, a partnership or any other arrangement other than as a grantor trust for United States Federal income tax purposes.

Exhibit 5.1/8.1

  October 12, 2006

Morgan Stanley
1585 Broadway
New York, NY 10036

Ladies and Gentlemen:

      We have acted as counsel to Morgan Stanley, a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), and Morgan Stanley Capital Trust VII, a statutory trust formed under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “ Trust ”), in connection with the preparation and filing of a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form S-3 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “ Registration Statement ”) for the purpose of registering under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”) $22,533,773,000.13 aggregate initial offering price of debt securities, warrants, units, purchase contracts, depositary shares, capital securities, guarantees with respect to capital securities, preferred stock and common stock to be issued from time to time by the Company, as such amount may be increased from time to time upon due authorization by the Company, including: (1) capital securities of the Trust issued pursuant to an amended and restated trust agreement of such Trust to be entered into among the Company, as depositor of such Trust (the Company, in such capacity, the “ Depositor ”), The Bank of New York, as property trustee, The Bank of New York (Delaware), as Delaware trustee, two individuals selected by the Depositor as administrators with respect to such Trust (the “ Administrators ”) and the holders of the capital securities of such Trust and (ii) guarantees of the Company with respect to such capital securities.

      We have also acted as counsel to the Company in connection with the Underwriting Agreement dated October 5, 2006 (the “ Underwriting Agreement ”) among the Company and the several underwriters named in Schedule II thereto (the “ Underwriters ”). Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company has agreed to sell, and the Underwriters severally have agreed to purchase, 44,000,000 of the Trust’s 6.60% Capital Securities (liquidation amount $25 per Capital Security) (the “ Capital Securities ”) representing preferred beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust under the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement dated as of October 12, 2006 (the “ Trust Agreement ”) among the Company, The Bank of New York, as property






trustee, The Bank of New York (Delaware), as Delaware Trustee, and the Administrators named therein. The Capital Securities include 4,000,000 Capital Securities purchased pursuant to the over-allotment option provided for in the Underwriting Agreement. Concurrently with the Trust’s issuance of the Capital Securities, the Company will purchase 400 of the Trust’s 6.60% Common Securities (liquidation amount $25 per Common Security) (the “ Common Securities ”), representing common beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust.

      The Trust will loan the proceeds from the issuance and sale of the Capital Securities and the Common Securities to the Company and, to evidence such loan, the Company will issue and deliver to the Trust $1,100,010,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 6.60% Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures (the “ Debentures ”) pursuant to the Junior Subordinated Indenture, dated as of October 12, 2006 (the “ Junior Subordinated Debt Indenture ”), between the Company and The Bank of New York, as trustee.

      In consideration for the loan of the proceeds from the issuance and sale of the Capital Securities, the Company will guarantee the payment of certain amounts with respect to the Capital Securities to the extent set forth in the Morgan Stanley Capital Trust VII Capital Securities Guarantee Agreement dated as of October 12, 2006 (the “ Guarantee ”) between the Company, as guarantor, and The Bank of New York, as guarantee trustee.

      We have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such corporate records and other documents and certificates as we deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions set forth herein. In such examination, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to the original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies and the authenticity of the originals of all such latter documents.

RECITALS

      A. On the date hereof, the Issuer is issuing $1,100,010,000 aggregate principal amount of its 6.60% Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures due October 15, 2066 (the “ Notes ”) to Morgan Stanley Capital Trust VII, a Delaware statutory trust (the “ Trust ”).

      B. On the date hereof, the Trust is issuing $1,100,000,000 aggregate liquidation amount of its 6.60% Trust Preferred Securities (the “ Capital Securities ” and, together with the Notes, the “ Securities ”).

      C. This Replacement Capital Covenant is the “ Replacement Capital Covenant ” referred to in the Prospectus Supplement, dated October 5, 2006, relating to the Securities.

      D. The Issuer is entering into this Replacement Capital Covenant and disclosing the content of this Replacement Capital Covenant in the manner provided below with the intent that the covenants provided for in this Replacement Capital Covenant be enforceable by each Covered Debtholder and that the Issuer be estopped from disregarding the covenants in this Replacement Capital Covenant, in each case to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

      E. The Issuer acknowledges that reliance by each Covered Debtholder upon the covenants in this Replacement Capital Covenant is reasonable and foreseeable by the Issuer and that, were the Issuer to disregard its covenants in this Replacement Capital Covenant, each Covered Debtholder would have sustained an injury as a result of its reliance on such covenants.

      NOW, THEREFORE, the Issuer hereby covenants and agrees as follows in favor of and for the benefit of each Covered Debtholder.

      Section 1 . Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this Replacement Capital Covenant (including the Recitals) have the meanings set forth in Schedule I hereto.

      Section 2 . Limitation on Redemption and Repurchase of Notes. The Issuer hereby promises and covenants to, and for the benefit of, each Covered Debtholder that the Issuer shall not, and shall cause the Trust not to, redeem or repurchase, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to purchase, all or any part of the






Securities on or after the Scheduled Redemption Date and prior to the Final Maturity Date except to the extent that (a) the total redemption, repurchase or purchase price therefor is equal to or less than the sum of (i) 400% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received since the most recent Measurement Date by the Issuer or its Subsidiaries from Persons that are not Subsidiaries of the Issuer from the sale of Common Stock and rights to acquire Common Stock and (ii) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received since the most recent Measurement Date by the Issuer or its Subsidiaries from Persons that are not Subsidiaries of the Issuer from the sale of Capital Replacement Securities (other than Common Stock or rights to acquire Common Stock) and (b) the Issuer has obtained any prior concurrence or approval of any then applicable regulatory authority if such concurrence or approval is then required under any applicable capital rules; provided , however that the provisions of this Section 2 shall not apply to repurchases of the Securities or any portion thereof by affiliates of the Issuer or its Subsidiaries in connection with market-making or other secondary-market activities. For the avoidance of doubt, persons covered by the Issuer’s dividend reinvestment plan and employee benefit plans shall be deemed not to be Subsidiaries of the Issuer for purposes of this Section 2.

      Section 3 . Covered Debt. (a) The Issuer represents and warrants that the Initial Covered Debt is Eligible Debt.

      (b) (i) During the 30-day period immediately preceding any Redesignation Date with respect to the Covered Debt then in effect, the Issuer shall identify the series of Eligible Debt that will become the Covered Debt on the related Redesignation Date in accordance with the following procedures:

      (A) the Issuer shall identify each series of its then-outstanding long-term indebtedness for money borrowed that is Eligible Debt;

      (B) if only one series of the Issuer’s then-outstanding long-term indebtedness for money borrowed will be Eligible Debt as of the related Redesignation Date, such series shall become the Covered Debt on such Redesignation Date;

      (C) if the Issuer has more than one outstanding series of long-term indebtedness for money borrowed that will be Eligible Debt as of the related Redesignation Date, then the series that has the latest occurring final maturity date as of the related Redesignation Date shall become the Covered Debt on such Redesignation Date;

      (D) the series of outstanding long-term indebtedness for money borrowed that is determined to be Covered Debt

2






pursuant to clause (B) or (C) above shall be the Covered Debt for purposes of this Replacement Capital Covenant for the period commencing on the related Redesignation Date and continuing to, but not including, the Redesignation Date as of which a new series of outstanding long-term indebtedness is next determined to be the Covered Debt pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Section 3(b); and

      (E) in connection with such identification of a new series of Covered Debt, the Issuer shall give the notice provided for in Section 4 and file with the Commission a current report on Form 8-K under the Exchange Act including as an exhibit or incorporating by reference this Replacement Capital Covenant within the time frame provided for in such section.

      (c) If at any time the Covered Debt is held by a Trust, a holder of the capital securities of such Trust may institute a legal proceeding directly against the Issuer for the enforcement of this Replacement Capital Covenant, and such capital securities shall be deemed to be “Covered Debt” so long as the Covered Debt held by the Trust remains Covered Debt.

      Section 4 . Notice. In order to give effect to the intent of the Issuer described in Recital D, the Issuer covenants that:

      (a) simultaneously with the execution of this Replacement Capital Covenant or as soon as practicable after the date hereof, the Issuer shall (x) give notice to the Holders of the Initial Covered Debt, in the manner provided in the indenture relating to the Initial Covered Debt, of this Replacement Capital Covenant and the rights granted to such Holders hereunder and (y) file a copy of this Replacement Capital Covenant with the Commission as an Exhibit to a Form 8-K under the Exchange Act;

      (c) within 30 days after a series of the Issuer’s long-term indebtedness for money borrowed (1) becomes Covered Debt or (2) ceases to be Covered Debt, the Issuer will give notice of such occurrence to the holders of such long-term indebtedness for money borrowed in the manner provided for in the indenture, fiscal agency agreement or other contract or instrument under which such long-term indebtedness for money borrowed was issued and report such change in the

3






Issuer’s next quarterly report on Form 10-Q or annual report on Form 10-K, as applicable (or any successor to such forms);

      (d) if, and only if, the Issuer ceases to be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, the Issuer shall post on its website the information otherwise required to be included in Exchange Act filings pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) above; and

      (e) promptly upon request by any Holder of Covered Debt, the Issuer shall provide such Holder with a conformed copy of the executed version of this Replacement Capital Covenant.

      Section 5 . Termination; Amendment. (a) The obligations of the Issuer pursuant to this Replacement Capital Covenant shall remain in full force and effect until the earliest (the “ Termination Date ”) to occur of (1) the date, if any, on which the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Covered Debt then in effect consent or agree to the elimination of such obligations as covenants in favor of such Holders, (2) the date on which the Issuer has no outstanding Eligible Debt (without giving effect to the rating requirement in clause (ii) of the definition of Eligible Senior Debt and Eligible Subordinated Debt), (3) the Final Maturity Date, or if earlier, the date on which the Issuer has raised sufficient net cash proceeds to permit redemption, repurchase or purchase of the Securities in full in accordance with this Replacement Capital Covenant and (4) the date, if any, on which an Event of Default occurs with respect to the Securities, resulting in the acceleration thereof. From and after the Termination Date, the obligations of the Issuer pursuant to this Replacement Capital Covenant shall be of no further force and effect with respect to the Covered Debtholders, or otherwise.

      (b) This Replacement Capital Covenant may be amended or supplemented from time to time by a written instrument signed by the Issuer with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Covered Debt then in effect; provided that this Replacement Capital Covenant may be amended or supplemented from time to time by a written instrument signed only by the Issuer (and without the consent of any Holders of Covered Debt) if (i) such amendment eliminates Common Stock, Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock and/or Debt Exchangeable for Equity (but only to the extent exchangeable for Common Stock) as a type of security or securities qualifying as Capital Replacement Securities and the Issuer has been advised in writing by a nationally recognized independent accounting firm that there is more than an insubstantial risk that the failure to do so would result in a reduction in the Issuer’s earnings per share as calculated for financial reporting purposes or (ii) such amendment or supplement is not adverse to the Holders of the Covered Debt then in effect or imposes additional restrictions on the types of securities qualifying as Capital Replacement Securities, and, in either case described in this clause (ii), an officer

4






of the Issuer has delivered to the Holders of such Covered Debt in the manner provided for in the indenture, fiscal agency agreement or other instrument with respect to such Covered Debt a written certificate stating that, in his or her determination, such amendment or supplement is not adverse to the Holders of such Covered Debt.

      Section 6 . Miscellaneous. (a) THIS REPLACEMENT CAPITAL COVENANT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

      (b) This Replacement Capital Covenant shall be binding upon the Issuer and its successors and assigns, shall inure to the benefit of the Covered Debtholders as they exist from time to time and shall confer on such Covered Debtholders the right to sue the Issuer in any court of competent jurisdiction for any breach by the Issuer of the terms hereof (it being understood and agreed by the Issuer that any Person who is a Covered Debtholder at the time such Person owns Covered Debt shall retain its status as a Covered Debtholder for so long as the series of long-term indebtedness for borrowed money owned by such Person is Covered Debt and, if such Person initiates a claim or proceeding to enforce its rights under this Replacement Capital Covenant after the Issuer has violated its covenants in Section 2 and before the series of long-term indebtedness for money borrowed held by such Person is no longer Covered Debt, such Person’s rights under this Replacement Capital Covenant shall not terminate by reason of such series of long-term indebtedness for money borrowed no longer being Covered Debt). Except as specifically provided herein, this Replacement Capital Covenant shall have no other beneficiaries and no other Persons are entitled to rely on this Replacement Capital Covenant.

      (c) All demands, notices, requests and other communications to the Issuer under this Replacement Capital Covenant shall be deemed to have been duly given and made if in writing and (i) if served by personal delivery upon the Issuer, on the day so delivered (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day), (ii) if delivered by registered post or certified mail, return receipt requested, or sent by a national or international courier service, on the date of receipt (or, if such date of receipt is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day), or (iii) if sent by telecopier, on the day telecopied, or if not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day; provided that the telecopy is promptly confirmed by telephone confirmation thereof, in each case to the
