Recitals

A. On the date hereof, the Corporation is issuing $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 2006 Series A Enhanced Junior Subordinated Notes Due 2066 (the “Notes”).

B. This Replacement Capital Covenant is the “Replacement Capital Covenant” referred to in the Prospectus Supplement, dated June 20, 2006, relating to the Notes.

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

NOW, THEREFORE, the Corporation 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. Limitations on Redemption and Repurchase of Notes. The Corporation hereby promises and covenants to and for the benefit of each Covered Debtholder that the Corporation shall not redeem or repurchase all or any part of the Notes on or before June 30, 2036 except to the extent that the total redemption or repurchase price therefor is equal to or less than the sum of (i) the Applicable Percentage of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Corporation or its Subsidiaries from non-affiliates during the 180 days prior to the applicable redemption or repurchase date from the issuance and sale of Common Stock of the Corporation plus (ii) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Corporation or its Subsidiaries from non-affiliates during the 180 days prior to the applicable redemption or repurchase date from the issuance and sale of Replacement Capital Securities of the Corporation (other than Common Stock). For the avoidance of doubt, persons covered by Corporation’s dividend reinvestment plan, direct stock purchase plan and employee benefit plans shall be deemed non-affiliates for purposes of this Section 2.

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

(b) (i) During the period commencing on the earlier of (x) the date two years and 30 days prior to the final maturity date for the then effective Covered Debt and (y) the date on which the Corporation gives notice of redemption of the then effective Covered Debt, if such redemption is in whole or in part and, after giving effect to such redemption, the outstanding principal of such Covered Debt would be less than $100,000,000, or (ii) if earlier than the date specified in clauses (x) and (y) of this Section 3(b)(i), on the date on which the Corporation or a Subsidiary of the Corporation repurchases the then effective Covered Debt in whole or in part and, after giving effect to such repurchase, the outstanding principal amount of such Covered Debt would be less than $100,000,000, the Corporation 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 Corporation 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 Corporation’s then outstanding long-term indebtedness for money borrowed is Eligible Debt, such series shall become the Covered Debt commencing on the related Redesignation Date;

(C) if the Corporation has more than one outstanding series of long-term indebtedness for money borrowed that is Eligible Debt, then the Corporation shall identify a specific series that has a final maturity date that is at least three years after the date on which the Corporation is applying the procedures in this Section 3(b) and such series shall become the Covered Debt on the upcoming Redesignation Date;

(D) the series of outstanding long-term indebtedness for money borrowed that is determined to be Covered Debt 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 Corporation shall give the notice provided for in Section 3(d) within the time frame provided for in such section.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Replacement Capital Covenant, if a series of Eligible Senior Debt has become the Covered Debt in accordance with Section 3(b), on the date on which the Corporation or a Subsidiary of the Corporation issues a new series of Eligible Subordinated Debt, then immediately upon such issuance such series shall become the Covered Debt and the applicable series of Eligible Senior Debt shall cease to be Covered Debt.

(d) Notice. In order to give effect to the intent of the Corporation described in Recital C, the Corporation covenants that (a) simultaneously with the execution of this Replacement Capital Covenant, or as soon as practicable after the date hereof, it shall 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; (b) so long as the Corporation is a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act, the Corporation will include in each annual report filed with the Commission on Form 10-K under the Securities Exchange Act a description of the covenant set forth in Section 2 and identify the series of long-term indebtedness for borrowed money that is Covered Debt as of the date such Form 10-K is filed with the Commission; (c) if a series of the Corporation’s long-term indebtedness for money borrowed (1) becomes Covered Debt or (2) ceases to be Covered Debt, give notice of such occurrence within 30 days to the holders of such long-term indebtedness for money borrowed in the manner provided for in the indenture, fiscal agency agreement or other instrument under which such long-term indebtedness for money borrowed was issued and report such change in the Corporation’s next quarterly report on Form 10-Q or annual report on Form 10-K, as applicable; (d) if, and only if, the Corporation ceases to be a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act, post on its website the information otherwise required to be included in Securities Exchange Act filings pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) above; and (e) promptly upon request by any Holder of Covered Debt, provide such Holder with an executed copy of this Replacement Capital Covenant.

SECTION 4. Termination and Amendment. (a) The obligations of the Corporation pursuant to this Replacement Capital Covenant shall remain in full force and effect until the earliest date (the “Termination Date”) to occur of (i) June 30, 2036, (ii) the date, if any, on which the Holders of at least 51% by principal amount of the then effective series of Covered Debt consent or agree in writing to the termination of the obligations of the Corporation hereunder and (iii) the date on which the Corporation ceases to have any series of outstanding Eligible Senior Debt or Eligible Subordinated Debt (in each case without giving effect to the rating requirement in clause (ii) of the definition of each such term). From and after the Termination Date, the obligations of the Corporation pursuant to this Replacement Capital Covenant shall be of no further force and effect with respect to the Holders, or otherwise.

(b) This Replacement Capital Covenant may be amended or supplemented from time to time by a written instrument signed by the Corporation with the consent of the Holders of at least 51% by principal amount of the then effective series of Covered Debt, provided that this Replacement Capital Covenant may be amended or supplemented from time to time by a written instrument signed by the Corporation (and without the consent of the Holders) if the Board of Directors has determined that such amendment or supplement is not adverse to the Holders of the then effective series of Covered Debt.

-3-

(c) For purposes of Sections 4(a) and 4(b), the Holders whose consent or agreement is required to terminate, amend or supplement this Replacement Capital Covenant or the obligations of the Corporation hereunder shall be the Holders of the then effective Covered Debt as of a record date established by the Corporation that is not more than 30 days prior to the date on which the Corporation proposes that such termination, amendment or supplement becomes effective.

SECTION 5. Miscellaneous. (a) This Replacement Capital Covenant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to choice of law principles.

(b) This Replacement Capital Covenant shall be binding upon the Corporation and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Covered Debtholders as they exist from time-to-time (it being understood and agreed by the Corporation that any Person who is a Covered Debtholder at the time such Person acquires or immediately after such Person sells 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 Corporation 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).

(c) The Corporation acknowledges that reliance by each Covered Debtholder upon the covenants in this Replacement Capital Covenant is reasonable and foreseeable by the Corporation and that, were the Corporation 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.

(d) All demands, notices, requests and other communications to the Corporation 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 Corporation, 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 to the Corporation by a national or international courier service, on the date of receipt by the Corporation (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, and in each case to the Corporation at the address set forth below, or at such other address as the Corporation may thereafter post on its website as the address for notices under this Replacement Capital Covenant:
