      shall be delivered to the Placement Agents and the Purchaser) and by government
      officials, and upon such other documents as counsel to the Offerors may, in

      as
      debtor, and the Trust, as a creditor, upon the issuance and sale of the
      Debentures to the Trust by the Company. The Company will (i) record and at
      all
      times continue to reflect the Debentures as indebtedness on its separate books

      as

      Company with respect to the Debentures. Such payments will not be derived from
      the active conduct of a financial business by the Trust. Both the Company&#8217;s
      obligation to make such payments and the measurement of the amounts payable
      by
      the Company are defined by the terms of the Debentures. Neither the Company&#8217;s

      Company presently has no intention to defer interest payments on the Debentures,
      and it considers the likelihood of such a deferral to be remote because, if
      it
      were to exercise its right to defer payments of interest with respect to the
      Debentures, it would not be permitted to declare or pay any dividends or
      distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire, or make a liquidation payment
      with respect to, any capital stock of the Company or any affiliate of the
      Company (other than payments of dividends or distributions to the Company or
      payments of dividends from direct or indirect subsidiaries of the Company to
      their parent corporations, which also shall be direct or indirect subsidiaries
      of the Company) or make any payment of principal of or interest or premium,
      if
      any, on or repay, repurchase, or redeem any debt securities of the Company
      or
      any affiliate of the Company that rank <em>pari passu</em> in all respects with

      make
      an explicit disclosure on the Company&#8217;s tax return, under Reg. &#167; 1.1275-2(h)(5)
      that its determination as holder with respect to remote contingency status

      (as determined for financial accounting purposes, but excluding deposit
      liabilities from the Company&#8217;s debt) will be within standard depository
      institution industry norms and, in any event, will be no higher than four to
