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).

In addition, in the event Sufficient Clearing Bids are not made in an Auction, or if an Auction is not held for any reason, such next succeeding Dividend Period will be a Seven-Day Dividend Period and the Trust may not again give a Notice of Special Dividend Period for the AMPS (and any such attempted notice shall be null and void) until Sufficient Clearing Bids have been made in an Auction with respect to a Seven-Day Dividend Period. If an Auction is not held because an unforeseen event or unforeseen events cause a day that otherwise would have been a Dividend Payment Date or an Auction Date not to be a Business Day, then the length of the Dividend Period relating to such Dividend Payment Date shall be extended by seven days (or a multiple thereof if necessary because of such unforeseen event or events) (an "Extension Period"), the Applicable Rate for such Extension Period shall be the Applicable Rate for the Dividend Period so extended and the Dividend Payment Date for such Dividend Period shall be the first Business Day next succeeding the end of such Extension Period.
