Dividends will be payable on the liquidation preference (i) for each Dividend Period through the Dividend Period ending on the Dividend Payment Date in October 2010, at a fixed rate per annum on the liquidation preference equal to [--]% (calculated on the basis of a year of twelve 30-day months) and (ii) for each dividend period commencing on such Dividend Payment Date and thereafter, at a floating rate per annum on the liquidation preference equal to [--]% above three-month LIBOR (calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a 360-day year). Dividends will be mandatorily due and payable in the circumstances described in Section 7.3(b)(ii) below, except that dividends will never be mandatorily due and payable if the Capital Limitation described below in Section 7.3(b)(iii) applies. If dividends on a Dividend Payment Date are neither mandatorily due and payable nor prohibited by application of the Capital Limitation, then (i) payment of dividends on the Company Preferred Securities will be limited by the Bank's Available Distributable Profits (see Section 7.3(b)(iv), below) and (ii) if the Bank delivers, on or before the tenth Business Day immediately preceding such Dividend Payment Date, an instruction (a "No Dividend Instruction") to the Company not to pay dividends on such Dividend Payment Date or to pay less than full dividends on such Dividend Payment Date, dividends payable on the related Dividend Payment Date will be limited as provided in such No Dividend Instruction (see Section 7.3(b)(v) below).

If such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 3750, LIBOR will be determined on the basis of the rates which deposits in U.S. dollars for a three-month period commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following that Determination Date and in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than $1,000,000 that is representative for a single transaction in such market at such time, are offered to prime banks in the London interbank market by four major banks in the London interbank market selected by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Company, at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that Determination Date. The Calculation Agent will request the principal London office of each of such banks to provide a quotation at its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, LIBOR with respect to that Determination will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR in respect of that Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by three major money center banks in New York City selected by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Company, at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on that Determination Date for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks for a three-month period commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following that Determination Date and in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than $1,000,000.

All percentages resulting from any calculations on the Company Preferred Securities will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) being rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)), and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upward).
