IF THE CORPORATION IS A “FOREIGN ISSUER” WITHIN THE MEANING OF REGULATION S AT THE TIME OF TRANSFER, A NEW CERTIFICATE, BEARING NO LEGEND, DELIVERY OF WHICH WILL CONSTITUTE “GOOD DELIVERY”, MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE TRUST COMPANY (THE “TRUSTEE”) UPON DELIVERY OF THIS CERTIFICATE AND A DULY EXECUTED DECLARATION IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE TRUSTEE AND THE CORPORATION, TO THE EFFECT THAT THE SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY IS BEING MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 904 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT;
 
provided, that if the Debentures are being sold under Clause (B), the legend may be removed by providing a declaration to the Trustee, to the following effect (or in such form as the Corporation or the Trustee may from time to time prescribe):
 
The undersigned (A) acknowledges that the sale of                         Debentures, represented by certificate numbers                        , to which this declaration relates is being made in reliance upon Rule 904 of Regulation S under the United States Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and (B) certifies that (1) it is not an “affiliate” of The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act), (2) the offer of such securities was not made to a person in the United States and at the time the buy order was originated, the buyer was outside the United States, or the seller and any person acting on its behalf reasonably believe that the buyer was outside the United States and neither the seller nor any person acting on its behalf knows that the transaction has been prearranged with a buyer in the United States, (3) neither the seller nor any person acting on its behalf engaged or will engage in any directed selling efforts in connection with the offer and sale of such securities, and (4) the contemplated sale is not a transaction, or part of a series of transactions which, although in technical compliance with Regulation S, is part of a plan or scheme to evade the registration provisions of the Securities Act. Terms used herein have the meaning given to them by Regulation S.
 
and, provided further, that if any such securities are being sold under paragraph (C)(2) above the legend may be removed by delivery to the Trustee of an opinion of counsel, of recognized standing reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, that such legend is no longer required under applicable requirements of the U.S. Securities Act or state securities laws.
 
Prior to the issuance of the Debentures, the Corporation shall notify the Trustee, in writing, concerning which certificates are to bear the legend described above. The Trustee will thereafter maintain a list of all registered holders from time to time of legended Debentures.
