The proceeds of the sale of the Firm Securities and of the common securities of the Trust (the “Trust Common Securities”) to be sold by the Trust to the Guarantor are to be invested in $750,010,000 principal amount of the Guarantor’s 7.85% Extendible Long Term Subordinated Notes (the “LoTS^SM ”), to be issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of February 1, 2006 (the “Base Indenture”), and a third supplemental indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), to be entered into at or before the Closing Date (as defined in Section 3), each between the Guarantor and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”).

-11-

Securities (or in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Act), in the event of the issuance of any stop order or of any order preventing or suspending the use of the Effective Date Prospectus or Post-Effective Date Preliminary Prospectus or other prospectus or suspending any such qualification, to promptly use their reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of such order; and in the event of any such issuance of a notice of objection, promptly to take such steps including, without limitation, amending the Registration Statement or filing a new registration statement, at the Guarantor’s expense, as may be necessary to permit offers and sales of the Trust Preferred Securities by the Underwriters (references herein to the Registration Statement shall include any such amendment or new registration statement).

-12-

or supplement the Prospectus to comply with the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, after receiving notice or becoming aware of the foregoing, the Guarantor and the Trust promptly will prepare and file or transmit for filing with the Commission, subject to paragraph (a) of this Section 5(A), an amendment or supplement that will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance.

In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party

-26-

will be entitled to participate therein, and to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided that, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under Section 7(a) or (b) for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party (other than reasonable costs of investigation) in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in connection with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate national counsel, approved by the Representative, representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action), (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, or (iii) the indemnifying party has authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party; and except that, if clause (i) or (iii) is applicable, such liability shall be only in respect of the counsel referred to in such clause (i) or (iii).

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Trust and the Guarantor on the one hand and the Underwriters of the Trust Preferred Securities on the other from the offering of the Trust Preferred Securities to which such loss, claim, damage or liability (or action in respect thereof) relates. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under subsection (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Guarantor and the Trust on the one hand and the Underwriters of the Securities on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Trust and the Guarantor

-27-

on the one hand and such Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from such offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Trust bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriters. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Guarantor or the Trust on the one hand or such Underwriters on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Trust, the Guarantor and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the applicable Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligations of the Underwriters of Securities in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations with respect to the Securities and not joint.

8. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representative by notice given to the Guarantor and the Trust prior to delivery of and payment for the Firm Securities or the Optional Securities, if prior to such time (i) trading in securities generally or in the Guarantor’s securities on the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or materially limited, (ii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by either Federal or New York State authorities or a material disruption shall have occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States, or (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other calamity or crisis or a change in financial, political or economic conditions in the United States or elsewhere, the effect of which on the financial markets of the United States or elsewhere is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Representative, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Trust Preferred Securities as contemplated by the Prospectus.

9. Underwriter Default. (a) If any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to purchase the Trust Preferred Securities which it has agreed to purchase

-28-

hereunder on the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, you may in your discretion arrange for you or another party or other parties to purchase such Trust Preferred Securities on the terms contained herein. If within thirty-six hours after such default by any Underwriter you do not arrange for the purchase of such Trust Preferred Securities, then the Guarantor shall be entitled to a further period of thirty six hours within which to procure another party or other parties satisfactory to you to purchase such Trust Preferred Securities on such terms. In the event that, within the respective prescribed periods, you notify the Guarantor that you have so arranged for the purchase of such Trust Preferred Securities, or the Guarantor notifies you that it has so arranged for the purchase of such Trust Preferred Securities, you or the Guarantor shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be, for a period of not more than seven days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any other documents or arrangements, and the Guarantor agrees to file promptly any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus that may thereby be made necessary. The term “Underwriter” as used in this Agreement shall include any person substituted under this Section with like effect as if such person had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to such Trust Preferred Securities.

(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Trust Preferred Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by you and the Guarantor as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Trust Preferred Securities which remains unpurchased does not exceed one eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Trust Preferred Securities, then the Guarantor shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the principal amount of Trust Preferred Securities which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder and, in addition, to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase its pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Trust Preferred Securities which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Trust Preferred Securities of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Trust Preferred Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by you and the Guarantor as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate liquidation amount of Trust Preferred Securities which remains unpurchased exceeds one eleventh of the aggregate liquidation amount of all the Trust Preferred Securities, or if the Guarantor shall not exercise the right described in subsection (b) above to require non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase Trust Preferred Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, then this Agreement shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Guarantor, except for the indemnity and contribution agreements in Section 7; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

-29-

10. Expenses on Termination. If for any reason the Trust Preferred Securities are not delivered by or on behalf of the Guarantor as provided herein other than because of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9, the Guarantor will reimburse the Underwriters through you for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses approved in writing by you, including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of the Trust Preferred Securities but the Guarantor shall then be under no further liability to any Underwriter except as provided in Section 7.

11. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Guarantor or its officers, of the Trust and of the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, the Guarantor or the Trust or any of the officers, directors or controlling persons referred to in Section 7 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. The provisions of Sections 5(A)(g) and 7 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

12. Arm’s-Length Terms. The Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that (i) the purchase and sale of the Trust Preferred Securities pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction each Underwriter is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Guarantor, (iii) no Underwriter has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Guarantor with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Guarantor on other matters) or any other obligation to the Guarantor except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and (iv) the Guarantor has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate. The Guarantor agrees that it will not claim that the Underwriters owe a fiduciary duty to the Guarantor, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

13. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors, heirs, executors, and administrators, and the officers and directors and controlling persons referred to in Section 7 hereof, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder.

14. Applicable Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

15. Counterparts; Notices. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

-30-

All notices hereunder shall be in writing or by telegram if promptly confirmed in writing, and if to the Underwriters shall be sufficient in all respects if delivered or sent by registered mail to the address of Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC as set forth in Schedule II hereto; and if to the Guarantor or the Trust shall be sufficient in all respects if delivered or sent by registered mail to its address set forth in the Registration Statement, Attention: Secretary; provided, however, that any notice to an Underwriter pursuant to Section 7(c) hereof shall be delivered or sent by registered mail to such Underwriter at its address set forth in its Underwriters’ Questionnaire, or telex constituting such Questionnaire, which address will be supplied to the Guarantor by Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC upon request.

16. Action by Underwriters. Any action under this Agreement taken by the Underwriters jointly or by Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC will be binding upon all the Underwriters.
