NEW YORK CITY TIME, ON MAY , 1995, UNLESS THE OFFER IS EXTENDED. SunAmerica Capital Trust I, a Delaware statutory business trust (the "Trust"), hereby offers, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Offering Circular/Prospectus and the accompanying Letter of Transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal" which, together with this Offering Circular/Prospectus, constitute the "Offer"), to exchange its % Trust Originated Preferred Securities ("TOPrS"), representing preferred undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust (the "Preferred Securities"), for up to 5,500,000 shares of outstanding 9 1/4% Preferred Stock, Series B (the "Series B Preferred") of SunAmerica Inc., a Maryland corporation ("SunAmerica"). Exchanges will be made on the basis of one Preferred Security for each share of Series B Preferred validly tendered and accepted for exchange in the Offer. Shares of Series B Preferred not accepted for exchange because of proration will be returned. Concurrently with the issuance of Preferred Securities in exchange for Series B Preferred validly tendered in the Offer, SunAmerica will deposit in the Trust as trust assets its % Junior Subordinated Debentures, Series A, due 2044 (the "Junior Subordinated Debentures") having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate stated liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities to be issued by the Trust. Holders of Series B Preferred may participate in the Offer by properly completing and signing the Letter of Transmittal and tendering their shares of Series B Preferred as described in "The Offer -- Procedures for Tendering" in accordance with the instructions contained herein and in the Letter of Transmittal prior to the Expiration Date (as defined herein). In order to participate in the Offer, holders of Series B Preferred must submit a Letter of Transmittal and comply with the other procedures for tendering in accordance with the instructions contained herein and in the Letter of Transmittal prior to the Expiration Date. For a description of the other terms of the Offer, see "The Offer -- Terms of the Offer"; "-- Expiration Date; Extensions; Amendments; Termination"; "-- Withdrawal of Tenders" and "-- Acceptance of Shares and Proration". Except as set forth below, the Trust expressly reserves the right to extend, amend or modify the terms of the Offer, and not accept for exchange any Series B Preferred, at any time prior to the Expiration Date for any reason, including (without limitation) if fewer than 2,810,000 shares of Series B Preferred are tendered (which condition may be waived). The Preferred Securities have been approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE"), subject to notice of issuance. In order to satisfy the NYSE listing requirements, acceptance of Series B Preferred validly tendered in the Offer is subject to the condition that as of the Expiration Date there be at least 400 record or beneficial holders of Preferred Securities to be issued in exchange for such Series B Preferred, which condition may not be waived. See "The Offer -- Expiration Date; Extensions; Amendments; Termination". SunAmerica will own directly or indirectly all of the securities representing common undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust (the "Common Securities" and, together with the Preferred Securities, the "Trust Securities"). The Trust exists for the purpose of (a) issuing (i) its Preferred Securities in exchange for Series B Preferred validly tendered in the Offer and delivering such Series B Preferred to SunAmerica in consideration for the deposit by SunAmerica of Junior Subordinated Debentures in the Trust as trust assets and (ii) its Common Securities to SunAmerica in exchange for cash and investing the proceeds thereof in an equivalent amount of Junior Subordinated Debentures and (b) engaging in such other activities as are necessary and incidental thereto. The Preferred Securities and the Common Securities will rank pari passu with each other and will have equivalent terms; provided that (i) if an Event of Default (as defined herein) under the Declaration occurs and is continuing, the holders of Preferred Securities will have a priority over holders of the Common Securities with respect to payments in respect of distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption or otherwise and (ii) holders of Common Securities have the exclusive right (subject to the terms of the Declaration) to appoint, replace or remove Trustees and to increase or decrease the number of Trustees, subject to the right of holders of Preferred Securities to appoint a Trustee (the "Special Regular Trustee") upon the occurrence of certain events described herein. Cash distributions on the Preferred Securities will be cumulative from the first day following the Expiration Date (the "Accrual Date") at an annual rate of % of the liquidation amount of $25 per Preferred Security, and will be payable quarterly in arrears on the 30th day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on June 30, 1995 ("distributions"). Cash distributions in arrears for more than one quarter will bear interest thereon at the rate per annum of % of the stated liquidation amount of $25 per Preferred Security (to the extent permitted by applicable law), compounded quarterly. The term "distributions" as used herein includes such cash distributions and any such interest payable unless otherwise stated. In addition, holders of the Preferred Securities will be entitled to an additional cash distribution at the rate of 9 1/4% per annum of the liquidation amount thereof from March 15, 1995 through the Expiration Date in lieu of dividends accumulating after March 15, 1995 on their Series B Preferred accepted for exchange, such additional distribution to be made at the time the first distribution on the Preferred Securities is made. The distribution rate and the distribution and other payment dates for the Preferred Securities will correspond to the interest rate and the interest and other payment dates on the Junior Subordinated Debentures deposited in the Trust as trust assets. As a result, if principal or interest is not paid on the Junior Subordinated Debentures, including as a result of SunAmerica's election to extend the interest payment period on the Junior Subordinated Debentures as described below, the Trust will not make payments on the Trust Securities. The Junior Subordinated Debentures provide that, so long as SunAmerica shall not be in default in the payment of interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures, SunAmerica shall have the right to defer payments of interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures by extending the interest payment period from time to time for a period not exceeding 20 consecutive quarterly interest periods (each, an "Extension Period"). No interest shall be due and payable during an Extension Period and, as a consequence, distributions on the Trust Securities will also be deferred, but at the end of such Extension Period SunAmerica shall pay all interest then accrued and unpaid on the Junior Subordinated Debentures, together with interest thereon at the rate specified for the Junior Subordinated Debentures to the extent permitted by applicable law, compounded quarterly ("Compounded Interest"). All references herein to interest shall include Compounded Interest unless otherwise stated. There could be multiple Extension Periods of varying lengths (up to nine Extension Periods of 20 consecutive quarterly interest periods each or more numerous shorter Extension Periods) throughout the term of the Junior Subordinated Debentures. During any such Extension Period, SunAmerica may not declare or pay dividends on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a distribution or liquidation payment with respect to, any of its common stock or preferred stock; provided that SunAmerica will be permitted to pay accrued dividends (and cash in lieu of fractional shares) upon the conversion of any of its Series D Mandatory Conversion Premium Dividend Preferred Stock (the "Series D Preferred Stock") in accordance with the terms of such stock. See "Risk Factors"; "Description of the Junior Subordinated Debentures -- Interest" and "-- Option to Extend Interest Payment Period". The payment of distributions out of moneys held by the Property Trustee (as defined herein) and payments on liquidation of the Trust and the redemption of Preferred Securities, as set forth below, are guaranteed by SunAmerica on a subordinated basis as and to the extent described herein (the "Preferred Securities Guarantee"). See "Description of the Preferred Securities Guarantee". The Preferred Securities Guarantee is a full and unconditional guarantee from the time of issuance of the Preferred Securities, but the Preferred Securities Guarantee covers distributions and other payments on the Preferred Securities only if and to the extent that SunAmerica has made a payment to the Property Trustee of interest or principal on the Junior Subordinated Debentures deposited in the Trust as trust assets. For a description of redemption rights with respect to the Preferred Securities, the possible dissolution of the Trust and distribution of Junior Subordinated Debentures held by the Trust to holders of the Trust Securities and the liquidation amount on the Preferred Securities, see "Risk Factors"; "Description of the Preferred Securities -- Special Event Redemption or Distribution"; "-- Liquidation Distribution Upon Dissolution" and "Description of the Junior Subordinated Debentures". SEE "RISK FACTORS" FOR A DISCUSSION OF CERTAIN FACTORS RELATING TO THE PREFERRED SECURITIES THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED BY INVESTORS, INCLUDING THE PERIOD AND CIRCUMSTANCES DURING AND UNDER WHICH PAYMENTS ON THE JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES AND THE PREFERRED SECURITIES MAY BE DEFERRED AND THE RELATED FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES.

SunAmerica SunAmerica is a diversified financial services company with more than $24 billion of assets owned or under management. At December 31, 1994, these assets consisted of $14.78 billion of assets owned by SunAmerica, $2.04 billion of assets managed in mutual funds and private accounts and $7.63 billion under custody in retirement trust accounts. Together, the SunAmerica life insurance companies rank among the largest U.S. issuers of annuities. Complementing these annuity operations are SunAmerica's asset management operations; its two broker-dealers, which SunAmerica believes, based on industry data, represent the largest network of independent registered representatives in the nation; and its trust company which provides administrative and custodial services to qualified retirement plans. Through these subsidiaries, SunAmerica specializes in the sale of tax-deferred long-term savings products and investments to the expanding preretirement savings market. SunAmerica markets fixed annuities and fee-generating variable annuities, mutual funds and trust services, as well as guaranteed investment contracts. SunAmerica's products are distributed through a broad spectrum of financial services distribution channels, including independent registered representatives of SunAmerica's broker-dealer subsidiaries and unaffiliated broker-dealers, independent general insurance agents and financial institutions. SunAmerica Capital Trust I SunAmerica Capital Trust I is a statutory business trust that was formed under the Delaware Business Trust Act (the "Business Trust Act") on March 22, 1995. The Trust's original declaration of trust will be amended and restated in its entirety as of the date the Trust accepts Series B Preferred in the Offer (as so amended and restated, the "Declaration") substantially in the form filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this Offering Circular/Prospectus forms a part. See "The Offer -- Terms of the Offer" and "-- Acceptance of Shares and Proration" for information regarding the Trust's acceptance of Series B Preferred in the Offer. The Declaration is qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act"). Upon issuance of the Preferred Securities, the holders thereof will own all of the issued and outstanding Preferred Securities. SunAmerica has agreed to acquire Common Securities in an amount equal to at least 3% of the total capital of the Trust and will own, directly or indirectly, all of the issued and outstanding Common Securities. The Preferred Securities and the Common Securities will rank pari passu with each other and will have equivalent terms; provided that (i) if an Event of Default (as defined herein) under the Declaration occurs and is continuing, the holders of Preferred Securities will have a priority over the holders of the Common Securities with respect to payments in respect of distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption and maturity and (ii) holders of Common Securities have the exclusive right (subject to the terms of the Declaration) to appoint, replace or remove Trustees and to increase or decrease the number of Trustees, subject to the right of holders of Preferred Securities to appoint one additional Trustee of the Trust (the "Special Regular Trustee") upon the occurrence of certain events described herein. The number of trustees (the "Trustees") of the Trust shall initially be five. Three of the Trustees (the "Regular Trustees") are individuals who are employees or officers of SunAmerica. The fourth trustee is The Bank of New York, which is unaffiliated with SunAmerica and which will serve as property trustee (the "Property Trustee") and act as the indenture trustee for purposes of the Trust Indenture Act. The fifth trustee is an affiliate of The Bank of New York that has its principal place of business in the State of Delaware (the "Delaware Trustee"). Pursuant to the Declaration, legal title to the Junior Subordinated Debentures will be held by the Property Trustee for the benefit of the holders of the Trust Securities, and the Property Trustee will have the power to exercise all rights, powers and privileges under the Indenture (as hereinafter defined) pursuant to which the Junior Subordinated Debentures will be issued. In addition, the Property Trustee will maintain exclusive control of a segregated non-interest bearing bank account (the "Property Account") to hold all payments in respect of the Junior Subordinated Debentures for the benefit of the holders of Trust Securities. The Property Trustee will promptly make distributions to the holders of the Trust Securities out of funds in the Property Account. The Property Trustee will also hold the Preferred Securities Guarantee for the benefit of the holders of the Preferred Securities. Subject to the right of holders of Preferred Securities to appoint a Special Regular Trustee upon the occurrence of certain events described herein, SunAmerica, as direct or indirect owner of all of the Common Securities, has the exclusive right (subject to the provisions of the Declaration) to appoint, remove or replace Trustees and to increase or decrease the number of Trustees, provided that the number of Trustees shall at least be three, a majority of which shall be Regular Trustees. The Trust exists for the purpose of (a) issuing (i) its Preferred Securities in exchange for Series B Preferred validly tendered in the Offer and delivering such Series B Preferred to SunAmerica in consideration for the deposit by SunAmerica of Junior Subordinated Debentures in the Trust as trust assets, and (ii) its Common Securities to SunAmerica in exchange for cash and investing the proceeds thereof in an equivalent amount of Junior Subordinated Debentures and (b) engaging in such other activities as are necessary and incidental thereto. The rights of the holders of the Trust Securities, including economic rights, rights to information and voting rights, are as set forth in the Declaration, the Business Trust Act and the Trust Indenture Act. See "SunAmerica Capital Trust I" and "Description of the Preferred Securities". The Declaration does not permit the incurrence by the Trust of any indebtedness for borrowed money or the making of any investment other than in the Junior Subordinated Debentures. In the Declaration, SunAmerica has agreed to pay for all debts and obligations (other than with respect to the Trust Securities) and all costs and expenses of the Trust, including the fees and expenses of the Trustees and any income taxes, duties and other governmental charges, and all costs and expenses with respect thereto, to which the Trust may become subject, except for United States withholding taxes. See "Risk Factors", "SunAmerica Capital Trust I" and "Description of the Preferred Securities". Certain Potential Benefits and Risks to Investors Prospective investors should carefully review the information contained elsewhere in this Offering Circular/Prospectus prior to making a decision regarding the Offer and should particularly consider the following matters: Potential Benefits to Exchanging Holders o The cash distributions rate on the Preferred Securities will be basis points greater than the dividend rate on the Series B Preferred. See "Comparison of Preferred Securities and Series B Preferred". o So long as payments of interest and other payments are made when due on the Junior Subordinated Debentures, such payments will be sufficient to cover cash distributions and other payments made on the Preferred Securities (and the Common Securities) because (i) the aggregate principal amount of Junior Subordinated Debentures deposited as trust assets will be equal to the sum of (x) the aggregate stated liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities issued by the Trust in exchange for the Series B Preferred accepted in the Offer and (y) the amount of proceeds received by the Trust from the issuance of the Common Securities to SunAmerica, which proceeds will be used by the Trust to purchase an equal principal amount of Junior Subordinated Debentures, (ii) the interest rate and interest and other payment dates on the Junior Subordinated Debentures will match the distribution rate and distribution and other payment dates for the Preferred Securities, (iii) the Declaration provides that SunAmerica shall pay for all debts and obligations (other than with respect to the Trust Securities) and all costs and expenses of the Trust, and (iv) the Declaration further provides that the Trustees shall not permit the Trust to, among other things, engage in any activity that is not consistent with the purposes of the Trust. See "Offering Circular/Prospectus Summary -- The Offer -- Description of Preferred Securities and Junior Subordinated Debentures" and "SunAmerica Capital Trust I". o The Trust will have no independent operations and will exist for the sole purpose of effecting the Offer and issuing the Trust Securities as described herein and owning and holding through the Property Trustee the Junior Subordinated Debentures. See "SunAmerica Capital Trust I". o If (i) the Trust fails to pay distributions in full on the Preferred Securities for 6 consecutive quarterly distribution periods; (ii) an Event of Default under the Declaration occurs and is continuing; or (iii) SunAmerica is in default on any of its payment or other obligations under the Preferred Securities Guarantee (each, an "Appointment Event"), then the Declaration provides that the holders of the Preferred Securities may appoint a Special Regular Trustee of the Trust who need not be an officer or employee of or otherwise affiliated with SunAmerica. Under the Declaration, any such Special Regular Trustee shall have the same rights, powers and privileges as the Regular Trustees. See "Description of the Preferred Securities -- Voting Rights". o The Property Trustee will have the power to exercise all rights, powers and privileges under the Indenture with respect to the Junior Subordinated Debentures and will also have the right to enforce the Preferred Securities Guarantee on behalf of the holders of the Preferred Securities. In addition, the holders of at least a majority in liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities will have the right to direct the Property Trustee with respect to certain matters under the Declaration and the Preferred Securities Guarantee. If the Property Trustee fails to enforce its rights under the Indenture or fails to enforce the Preferred Securities Guarantee, any holder of Preferred Securities may, after a period of 30 days has elapsed from such holder's written request to the Property Trustee to enforce such rights or the Preferred Securities Guarantee, institute a legal proceeding against SunAmerica to enforce such rights or the Preferred Securities Guarantee, as the case may be. See "Description of the Preferred Securities" and "Description of the Preferred Securities Guarantee". o The Offer will allow SunAmerica to achieve certain tax efficiencies while preserving its flexibility with respect to future financings because, in contrast to dividend payments on the Series B Preferred which are not deductible by SunAmerica, SunAmerica will be able to deduct interest payments on the Junior Subordinated Debentures for United States federal income tax purposes. See "The Offer -- Purpose of the Offer". Potential Risks to Exchanging Holders o Participation in the Offer will be a taxable event for holders of Series B Preferred. See "Risk Factors -- Tax Consequences of the Offer". o The obligations of SunAmerica under (i) the Junior Subordinated Debentures are subordinate in right of payment to Senior Indebtedness (as defined herein) of SunAmerica, (ii) SunAmerica's payment obligations under the Preferred Securities Guarantee are subordinate in right of payment to all liabilities of SunAmerica, including the Junior Subordinated Debentures, except those made pari passu or subordinate by their terms, and (iii) the Junior Subordinated Debentures and the Preferred Securities Guarantee are effectively subordinated to all liabilities of subsidiaries of SunAmerica. See "Risk Factors -- Subordination of Preferred Securities Guarantee and Junior Subordinated Debentures; Dependence on SunAmerica". o The Trust's ability to make distributions on the Preferred Securities is entirely dependent upon SunAmerica making interest payments on the Junior Subordinated Debentures when and as required, and the interest payment period on the Junior Subordinated Debentures may be extended under certain circumstances by SunAmerica in its sole discretion for up to 20 consecutive quarterly interest periods during which no interest would be payable thereon. See "Risk Factors -- Subordination of Preferred Securities Guarantee and Junior Subordinated Debentures; Dependence on SunAmerica; "-- Option to Extend Interest Payment Period; Tax Impact of Extension" and "-- Potential Market Volatility During Extension Period". o Should SunAmerica not make interest or other payments on the Junior Subordinated Debentures for any reason, including as a result of SunAmerica's election to defer payments of interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures by extending the interest payment period on the Junior Subordinated Debentures, the Trust will not make distributions or other payments on the Trust Securities. In such an event, holders of the Preferred Securities would not be able to rely on the Preferred Securities Guarantee since the Preferred Securities Guarantee covers distributions and other payments on the Preferred Securities only if and to the extent that SunAmerica has made a payment to the Property Trustee of interest or principal on the Junior Subordinated Debentures deposited in the Trust as trust assets. See "Risk Factors -- Subordination of Preferred Securities Guarantee and Junior Subordinated Debentures; Dependence on SunAmerica". o If SunAmerica elects to defer payments of interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures by extending the interest period on the Junior Subordinated Debentures, distributions on the Preferred Securities would also be deferred but the Trust will continue to accrue interest income in respect of such Debentures which will be taxable to beneficial owners of Preferred Securities. As a result, beneficial owners of Preferred Securities during an Extension Period will include their pro rata share of the interest in gross income in advance of the receipt of cash. See "Taxation -- Income from the Preferred Securities". o Holders of Preferred Securities will have limited voting rights and, subject to the right of holders of Preferred Securities to appoint a Special Regular Trustee upon the occurrence of an Appointment Event, will not be able to appoint, remove or replace, or to increase or decrease the number of, Trustees, which rights are vested exclusively in the Common Securities. o While the Series B Preferred is not redeemable prior to June 15, 1997, the Junior Subordinated Debentures (and thus the Preferred Securities) in certain circumstances will be redeemable prior to that date upon the occurrence of a Tax Event (as defined herein). o While dividends on the Series B Preferred are eligible for the dividends received deduction for corporate holders, distributions on the Preferred Securities are not eligible for the dividends received deduction for corporate holders. See "Comparison of Preferred Securities and Series B Preferred". o While the Preferred Securities have been approved for listing on the NYSE, subject to notice of issuance, the Preferred Securities are a new issue of securities with no established trading market. See "Risk Factors -- Listing and Trading of Preferred Securities and Series B Preferred". Potential Risk to Non-Exchanging Holders o The liquidity and trading market for untendered Series B Preferred could be adversely affected to the extent Series B Preferred is tendered and accepted in the Offer. See "Risk Factors -- Listing and Trading of Preferred Securities and Series B Preferred". The Offer Purpose of the Offer The purpose of the Offer is to refinance the Series B Preferred with the Preferred Securities and to achieve certain tax efficiencies, while preserving SunAmerica's flexibility with respect to future financings. This refinancing will permit SunAmerica to deduct interest payable on the Junior Subordinated Debentures for United States federal income tax purposes; dividends payable on the Series B Preferred are not deductible. See "The Offer -- Purpose of the Offer". Terms of the Offer Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the Letter of Transmittal, the Trust hereby offers to exchange its Preferred Securities for up to 5,500,000 outstanding shares of Series B Preferred of SunAmerica. Exchanges will be made on the basis of one Preferred Security for each share of Series B Preferred validly tendered and accepted for exchange in the Offer. See "The Offer -- Terms of the Offer". Expiration Date; Withdrawals Upon the terms and conditions of the Offer, including the provisions relating to proration described herein, the Trust will accept for exchange up to 5,500,000 shares of Series B Preferred, validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May , 1995, or if the Offer is extended by the Trust, in its sole discretion, the latest date and time to which the Offer has been extended (the "Expiration Date"). Tenders of Series B Preferred pursuant to the Offer may be withdrawn at any time prior to the Expiration Date and, unless accepted for exchange by the Trust, may be withdrawn at any time after 40 Business Days (as defined herein) after the date of this Offering Circular/Prospectus. Shares of Series B Preferred not accepted because of proration will be returned to the tendering Holders at the Trust's expense as promptly as practicable following the Expiration Date. A "Business Day" shall mean any day other than a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or required by law to close. See "The Offer -- Withdrawal of Tenders"; "-- Expiration Date; Extensions; Amendments; Termination" and "-- Acceptance of Shares and Proration". Extensions; Amendments; Termination Except as set forth in the following sentence, the Trust expressly reserves the right to (i) extend, amend or modify the terms of the Offer in any manner and (ii) withdraw or terminate the Offer and not accept for exchange any Series B Preferred, at any time prior to the Expiration Date for any reason, including (without limitation) if fewer than 2,810,000 shares of Series B Preferred are tendered (which conditions may be waived by the Trust). See "The Offer -- Expiration Date; Extensions; Amendments; Termination". However, the Trust will not accept shares of Series B Preferred validly tendered in the Offer if as of the Expiration Date there would be fewer than 400 record or beneficial holders of Preferred Securities to be issued in exchange for such Series B Preferred, which condition may not be waived. Procedures for Tendering Each Holder of Series B Preferred wishing to participate in the Offer must (i) properly complete and sign the Letter of Transmittal or a facsimile thereof (all references in this Offering Circular/Prospectus to the Letter of Transmittal shall be deemed to include a facsimile thereof) in accordance with the instructions contained herein and in the Letter of Transmittal, together with any required signature guarantees, and deliver the same to The First National Bank of Chicago, as Exchange Agent, at one of its addresses set forth in "The Offer -- Exchange Agent and Information Agent" prior to the Expiration Date and either (a) certificates for the Series B Preferred must be received by the Exchange Agent at such address or (b) such Series B Preferred must be transferred pursuant to the procedures for book-entry transfer described herein and a confirmation of such book-entry transfer must be received by the Exchange Agent, in each case prior to the Expiration Date or (ii) comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures described herein. In order to participate in the Offer, Holders of Series B Preferred must submit a Letter of Transmittal and comply with the other procedures for tendering in accordance with the instructions contained herein and in the Letter of Transmittal prior to the Expiration Date. LETTERS OF TRANSMITTAL, SERIES B PREFERRED AND ANY OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS SHOULD BE SENT ONLY TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT, NOT TO SUNAMERICA, THE TRUST, THE DEALER MANAGER OR THE INFORMATION AGENT. Special Procedure for Beneficial Owners Any beneficial owner whose Series B Preferred is registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and who wishes to tender such Series B Preferred should contact such registered Holder promptly and instruct such registered Holder to tender on such beneficial owner's behalf. If such beneficial owner wishes to tender on its own behalf, such owner must, prior to completing and executing a Letter of Transmittal and delivering its Series B Preferred, either make appropriate arrangements to register ownership of the Series B Preferred in such owner's name or obtain a properly completed stock power from the registered Holder. The transfer of registered ownership may take considerable time and may not be able to be completed prior to the Expiration Date. See "The Offer -- Procedures for Tendering -- Special Procedure for Beneficial Owners". Guaranteed Delivery Procedures If a Holder desires to accept the Offer and time will not permit a Letter of Transmittal or Series B Preferred to reach the Exchange Agent before the Expiration Date or the procedure for book-entry transfer cannot be completed on a timely basis, a tender may be effected in accordance with the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in "The Offer -- Procedures for Tendering -- Guaranteed Delivery". Acceptance of Shares and Proration Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, if 5,500,000 or fewer shares of Series B Preferred have been validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date, the Trust will accept for exchange all such shares of Series B Preferred. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, if more than 5,500,000 shares of Series B Preferred (or, if decreased as described herein, such lesser number as the Trust may elect to purchase pursuant to the Offer) have been validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date, the Trust will accept for exchange shares of Series B Preferred from each tendering Holder on a pro rata basis, subject to adjustment to avoid the acceptance for exchange of fractional shares. If the Trust decreases the amount of Series B Preferred sought, and the Offer is scheduled to expire less than ten Business Days from and including the date that notice of such decrease is first published, sent or given in the manner specified in "Terms of the Offer -- Expiration Date; Extensions; Amendments; Termination", then the Offer will remain open for a minimum of ten Business Days from and including the date of such notice. All shares of Series B Preferred not accepted pursuant to the Offer, including shares not purchased because of proration, will be returned to the tendering Holders at the Trust's expense as promptly as practicable following the Expiration Date. Delivery of Preferred Securities Subject to the terms and conditions of the Offer, the delivery of the Preferred Securities to be issued pursuant to the Offer will occur as promptly as practicable following the Expiration Date. See "The Offer -- Terms of the Offer" and "-- Expiration Date; Extensions; Amendments; Termination". If proration of tendered shares of Series B Preferred is required, because of the difficulty in determining the number of shares of Series B Preferred validly tendered (including shares tendered by the guaranteed delivery procedures described in "Terms of the Offer -- Procedures for Tendering"), the Trust does not expect that it would be able to announce the final proration factor or to commence the exchange for any shares of Series B Preferred pursuant to the Offer until approximately seven Business Days after the Expiration Date. Preliminary results of the proration will be announced by press release as promptly as practicable after the Expiration Date. Holders of shares of Series B Preferred may obtain such preliminary information from the Dealer Manager or the Information Agent and may also be able to obtain such information from their brokers. Description of Preferred Securities and Junior Subordinated Debentures The Preferred Securities evidence preferred undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust and will rank pari passu with, and have terms equivalent to, the Common Securities; provided that (i) if an Event of Default under the Declaration occurs and is continuing, the holders of Preferred Securities will have a priority over holders of the Common Securities with respect to payments in respect of distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption or otherwise and (ii) holders of Common Securities have the exclusive right (subject to the terms of the Declaration) to appoint, remove and replace Trustees and to increase or decrease the number of Trustees, subject to the right of holders of Preferred Securities to appoint a Special Regular Trustee upon the occurrence of an Appointment Event. The Declaration does not permit the issuance by the Trust of any securities or beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust other than the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities, the incurrence of any indebtedness for borrowed money by the Trust or the making of any investments other than in the Junior Subordinated Debentures. The Declaration defines an event of default with respect to the Trust Securities (an "Event of Default") as the occurrence and continuance of an "event of default" under the Indenture with respect to the Junior Subordinated Debentures (an "Indenture Event of Default"), except that an Event of Default with respect to the Preferred Securities shall also include a default by SunAmerica of its payment or other obligations under the Preferred Securities Guarantee. Periodic cash distributions on each Preferred Security will be fixed at a rate per annum of % of the stated liquidation amount of $25 per Preferred Security. Distributions in arrears for more than one quarter will bear interest thereon at the rate per annum of % of the stated liquidation amount of $25 per Preferred Security (to the extent permitted by law), compounded quarterly. Distributions on the Preferred Securities will be cumulative, will accrue from the Accrual Date and, except as otherwise described herein, will be made quarterly in arrears, on the 30th day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on June 30, 1995, but only if and to the extent that interest payments are made in respect of the Junior Subordinated Debentures held by the Property Trustee. In addition, holders of Preferred Securities will be entitled to an additional cash distribution at the rate of 9 1/4% per annum of the liquidation amount thereof from March 15, 1995 through the Expiration Date in lieu of dividends accumulating after March 15, 1995 on their Series B Preferred accepted for exchange, such additional distribution to be made at the time the first distribution on the Preferred Securities is made. The distribution rate and the distribution and other payment dates for the Preferred Securities will correspond to the interest rate and the interest and other payment dates on the Junior Subordinated Debentures deposited in the Trust as trust assets. As a result, if principal or interest is not paid on the Junior Subordinated Debentures, including as a result of SunAmerica's election to extend the interest payment period on the Junior Subordinated Debentures as described below, the Trust will not make payments on the Trust Securities. The Junior Subordinated Debentures provide that, so long as SunAmerica shall not be in default in the payment of interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures, SunAmerica has the right under the Indenture to defer payments of interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures by extending the interest payment period from time to time on the Junior Subordinated Debentures for a period not exceeding 20 consecutive quarterly interest periods (each, an "Extension Period") and, as a consequence, quarterly distributions on the Preferred Securities would not be made (but would continue to accrue with interest thereon at the rate of % per annum, compounded quarterly) by the Trust during any such Extension Period. During an Extension Period, SunAmerica may not declare or pay dividends on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a distribution or liquidation payment with respect to, any of its common stock or preferred stock or make any guarantee payments with respect thereto during such Extension Period; provided that SunAmerica will be permitted to pay accrued dividends (and cash in lieu of fractional shares) upon the conversion of any of its Series D Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms of such stock. Prior to the termination of any such Extension Period, SunAmerica may further extend such Extension Period; provided that such Extension Period together with all such previous and further extensions thereof may not exceed 20 consecutive quarterly interest periods. Upon the termination of any Extension Period and the payment of all amounts then due, SunAmerica may commence a new Extension Period, subject to the above requirements. SunAmerica may also prepay at any time all or any portion of the interest accrued during an Extension Period. Consequently, there could be multiple Extension Periods of varying lengths (up to nine Extension Periods of 20 consecutive quarterly interest periods each or more numerous shorter Extension Periods) throughout the term of the Junior Subordinated Debentures. See "Risk Factors"; "Description of the Junior Subordinated Debentures -- Interest" and "-- Option to Extend Interest Payment Period". There will be deposited in the Trust as trust assets (i) Junior Subordinated Debentures having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate stated liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities issued by the Trust in exchange for the Series B Preferred accepted in the Offer and (ii) Junior Subordinated Debentures having an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of proceeds received by the Trust from the sale of the Common Securities to SunAmerica. Under the Declaration, if and to the extent SunAmerica does make interest payments on the Junior Subordinated Debentures deposited in the Trust as trust assets, the Property Trustee is obligated to make distributions promptly on the Preferred Securities. The payment of distributions on the Preferred Securities and payments on liquidation of the Trust and the redemption of Preferred Securities, as set forth below, in each case out of moneys held by the Property Trustee in the Property Account, are guaranteed by SunAmerica on a subordinated basis as and to the extent set forth under "Description of the Preferred Securities Guarantee". The Preferred Securities Guarantee is a full and unconditional guarantee from the time of issuance of the Preferred Securities, but the Preferred Securities Guarantee covers distributions and other payments on the Preferred Securities only if and to the extent that SunAmerica has made a payment to the Property Trustee of interest or principal on the Junior Subordinated Debentures deposited in the Trust as trust assets. The Preferred Securities and Common Securities are redeemable on a Pro Rata Basis (as defined below) from time to time, in whole or in part, to the same extent as the Junior Subordinated Debentures are redeemable by SunAmerica, on or after June 15, 1997, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, at $25 per Preferred Security plus accrued and unpaid distributions thereon to the date of redemption, including distributions accrued as a result of SunAmerica's election to defer payments of interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures, (the "Redemption Price"), payable in cash. The Preferred Securities will be redeemed upon the maturity or earlier redemption of the Junior Subordinated Debentures. See "Description of the Preferred Securities -- Mandatory Redemption". As used in this Offering Circular/Prospectus the term "Pro Rata Basis" shall mean pro rata to each holder of Trust Securities according to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Trust Securities held by the relevant holder in relation to the aggregate liquidation amount of all Trust Securities outstanding unless, in relation to a payment, an Event of Default under the Declaration has occurred and is continuing, in which case any funds available to make such payment shall be paid first to each holder of the Preferred Securities pro rata according to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities held by the relevant holder in relation to the aggregate liquidation amount of all Preferred Securities outstanding, and only after satisfaction of all amounts owed to the holders of the Preferred Securities, to each holder of Common Securities pro rata according to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Common Securities held by the relevant holder in relation to the aggregate liquidation amount of all the Common Securities outstanding. In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Tax Event or an Investment Company Event (each as hereinafter defined) arising from a change in law or a change in legal interpretation or other specified circumstances, the Trust shall, unless the Junior Subordinated Debentures are redeemed in the limited circumstances described below, be dissolved with the result that the Junior Subordinated Debentures will be distributed to the holders of the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities on a Pro Rata Basis, in lieu of any cash distribution. In the case of a Tax Event, SunAmerica will have the right in certain circumstances to redeem the Junior Subordinated Debentures at any time with the result that the Trust will redeem the Trust Securities on a Pro Rata Basis to the same extent as the Junior Subordinated Debentures are redeemed. If the Junior Subordinated Debentures are distributed to the holders of the Preferred Securities, SunAmerica will use its best efforts to have the Junior Subordinated Debentures listed on the New York Stock Exchange or on such other exchange as the Preferred Securities are then listed. See "Description of the Preferred Securities -- Special Event Redemption or Distribution". The Junior Subordinated Debentures will be issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of March 15, 1995 (as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture (the "First Supplemental Indenture") to be dated as of March 15, 1995, the "Indenture") between SunAmerica and The First National Bank of Chicago, as trustee (the "Indenture Trustee"). See "Description of the Junior Subordinated Debentures". The Junior Subordinated Debentures will mature on , 2044 and will bear interest at an annual rate of % from the Accrual Date. Interest will be payable quarterly in arrears on the 30th day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on June 30, 1995; provided that, as described above, so long as SunAmerica shall not be in default in the payment of interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures, SunAmerica shall have the right to extend the interest payment period from time to time for a period not exceeding 20 consecutive quarterly interest periods. SunAmerica has no current intention of exercising its right to extend an interest payment period. However, should SunAmerica determine to exercise such right in the future, the market price of the Preferred Securities is likely to be affected. See "Risk Factors" and "Description of the Junior Subordinated Debentures -- Option to Extend Interest Payment Period". The Junior Subordinated Debentures will also accrue interest at the rate of 9 1/4% per annum of the principal amount thereof from March 15, 1995 through the Expiration Date, payable at the time of the first interest payment on the Junior Subordinated Debentures. No extension of interest will be permitted with respect to interest accruing from March 15, 1995 through the Expiration Date. SunAmerica shall have the right to redeem the Junior Subordinated Debentures, in whole or in part, from time to time, on or after June 15, 1997, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, to the redemption date, including interest accrued as a result of SunAmerica's election to defer payments of interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures, payable in cash. In addition, upon the occurrence of a Tax Event, SunAmerica will also have the right if certain conditions are met to redeem the Junior Subordinated Debentures at any time. Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations The exchange of Series B Preferred for Preferred Securities pursuant to the Offer will be a taxable event. Gain or loss generally will be recognized in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value on the Expiration Date of the holder's pro rata share of the Junior Subordinated Debentures represented by the Preferred Securities received in the exchange and the exchanging Holder's tax basis in the shares of Series B Preferred surrendered. For this purpose, the fair market value of the Junior Subordinated Debentures deemed issued in exchange for Series B Preferred on the Expiration Date will equal the fair market value of the Preferred Securities on that date. See "Taxation -- Exchange of Series B Preferred for Preferred Securities". The Junior Subordinated Debentures will be treated as issued with "original issue discount" for United States federal income tax purposes. Holders of Preferred Securities will be required to include their pro rata share of original issue discount in gross income as it accrues on the Junior Subordinated Debentures in advance of the receipt of cash. See "Taxation -- Accrual of Original Issue Discount and Premium" and "-- Potential Extension of Payment Period on the Junior Subordinated Debentures". No portion of the amounts received on the Preferred Securities will be eligible for the dividends received deduction. The Preferred Securities may trade at a price that does not fully reflect the value of accrued but unpaid interest with respect to the underlying Junior Subordinated Debentures. A Securityholder who disposes of his Preferred Securities between record dates for payments of distributions thereon will nevertheless be required to include accrued but unpaid interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures through the date of disposition in income as ordinary income, and to add such amount to his adjusted tax basis in his pro rata share of the underlying Junior Subordinated Debentures deemed disposed of. Accordingly, such a Securityholder will recognize a capital loss to the extent the selling price (which may not fully reflect the value of accrued but unpaid interest) is less than the Securityholder's adjusted tax basis (which will include accrued but unpaid interest). Subject to certain limited exceptions, capital losses cannot be applied to offset ordinary income for United States federal income tax purposes. Untendered Shares Holders of Series B Preferred who do not tender their Series B Preferred in the Offer or whose Series B Preferred is not accepted for exchange will continue to hold such Series B Preferred and will be entitled to all the rights and preferences, and will be subject to all of the limitations, applicable thereto. To the extent that Series B Preferred is tendered and accepted in the Offer, the terms on which untendered Series B Preferred could subsequently be sold could be adversely affected. See "Risk Factors -- Listing and Trading of Preferred Securities and Series B Preferred". Exchange Agent and Information Agent The First National Bank of Chicago has been appointed as Exchange Agent in connection with the Offer. Questions and requests for assistance, requests for additional copies of this Offering Circular/Prospectus or of the Letter of Transmittal and requests for Notices of Guaranteed Delivery should be directed to Georgeson & Company, Inc. which has been retained by SunAmerica and the Trust to act as Information Agent for the Offer. The addresses and telephone numbers of the Exchange Agent and the Information Agent are set forth in "The Offer -- Exchange Agent and Information Agent" and on the outside back cover of this Offering Circular/Prospectus. Dealer Manager Merrill Lynch & Co. has been retained as Dealer Manager in connection with the Offer. Questions with respect to the Offer may be directed to the Capital Markets Desk at (212) 449-4906. For information regarding fees payable to the Dealer Manager and Soliciting Dealers (as defined herein), see "The Offer -- Dealer Manager; Soliciting Dealers". RISK FACTORS Prospective exchanging Holders of Series B Preferred who plan to participate in the Offer should carefully consider, in addition to the other information set forth elsewhere in this Offering Circular/ Prospectus, the following: Tax Consequences of the Offer The exchange of Series B Preferred for Preferred Securities pursuant to the Offer will be a taxable event. Generally, gain or loss will be recognized in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value on the Expiration Date of the holder's pro rata share of the Junior Subordinated Debentures represented by the Preferred Securities received in the exchange and the exchanging Holder's tax basis in the Series B Preferred exchanged therefor. See "Taxation -- Exchange of Series B Preferred and Issuance of Preferred Securities". All Holders of Series B Preferred are advised to consult their tax advisors regarding the United States federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of the exchange of Series B Preferred and the issuance of Preferred Securities. Subordination of Preferred Securities Guarantee and Junior Subordinated Debentures; Dependence on SunAmerica The obligations of SunAmerica under the Junior Subordinated Debentures are unsecured obligations of SunAmerica and will be subordinate and junior in right of payment to Senior Indebtedness of SunAmerica but senior to its capital stock. At December 31, 1994, Senior Indebtedness of SunAmerica (on an unconsolidated basis) aggregated approximately $472.8 million. Because SunAmerica is a holding company, the Junior Subordinated Debentures (and SunAmerica's obligations under the Preferred Securities Guarantee) are also effectively subordinated to all existing and future liabilities, including trade payables, of SunAmerica's subsidiaries, except to the extent that SunAmerica is a creditor of the subsidiaries recognized as such. Claims on SunAmerica's subsidiaries by creditors other than SunAmerica include substantial claims for policy benefits, as well as other liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business. At December 31, 1994, SunAmerica's subsidiaries had outstanding approximately $8.47 billion of liabilities (excluding variable annuity liabilities, with respect to which assets are segregated in separate accounts). In addition, since many of SunAmerica's subsidiaries are insurance companies subject to regulatory control by various state insurance departments, the ability of such subsidiaries to pay dividends or make loans or advances to SunAmerica without prior regulatory approval is limited by applicable laws and regulations. There are no terms in the Preferred Securities, the Junior Subordinated Debentures or the Preferred Securities Guarantee that limit SunAmerica's ability to incur additional indebtedness, including indebtedness that ranks senior to or pari passu with the Junior Subordinated Debentures and the Preferred Securities Guarantee, or the ability of its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness. See "Description of the Preferred Securities Guarantee -- Status of the Guarantee" and "Description of the Junior Subordinated Debentures -- Subordination". The Trust's ability to make distributions and other payments on the Preferred Securities is solely dependent upon SunAmerica making interest and other payments on the Junior Subordinated Debentures deposited as trust assets as and when required. If SunAmerica were not to make distributions or other payments on the Junior Subordinated Debentures for any reason, including as a result of SunAmerica's election to defer the payment of interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures by extending the interest period on the Junior Subordinated Debentures, the Trust will not make payments on the Trust Securities. In such an event, holders of the Preferred Securities would not be able to rely on the Preferred Securities Guarantee since distributions and other payments on the Preferred Securities are subject to such Guarantee only if and to the extent that SunAmerica has made a payment to the Property Trustee of interest or principal on the Junior Subordinated Debentures deposited in the Trust as trust assets. Instead, holders of Preferred Securities would rely on the enforcement by the Property Trustee of its rights as registered holder of the Junior Subordinated Debentures against SunAmerica pursuant to the terms of the Indenture and may vote to appoint a Special Regular Trustee. However, if the Trust's failure to make distributions on the Preferred Securities is a consequence of SunAmerica's exercise of its right to extend the interest payment period for the Junior Subordinated Debentures, the Property Trustee will have no right to enforce the payment of distributions on the Preferred Securities until an Event of Default under the Declaration shall have occurred. SunAmerica's obligations under the Preferred Securities Guarantee are subordinate and junior in right of payment to all other liabilities of SunAmerica, including the Junior Subordinated Debentures, except those made pari passu (that is, equal in priority) or subordinate by their terms to the Preferred Securities Guarantee and senior to its capital stock or to any guarantee of SunAmerica in respect of its capital stock. The Declaration provides that SunAmerica shall pay for all debts and obligations (other than with respect to the Trust Securities) and all costs and expenses of the Trust, including any taxes and all costs and expenses with respect thereto, to which the Trust may become subject, except for United States withholding taxes. No assurance can be given that SunAmerica will have sufficient resources to enable it to pay such debts, obligations, costs and expenses on behalf of the Trust. Option to Extend Interest Payment Period; Tax Impact of Extension So long as SunAmerica shall not be in default in the payment of interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures, SunAmerica has the right under the Indenture to defer payments of interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures by extending the interest payment period from time to time on the Junior Subordinated Debentures for an Extension Period not exceeding 20 consecutive quarterly interest periods, during which no interest shall be due and payable. In such an event, quarterly distributions on the Preferred Securities would not be made (but would continue to accrue with interest thereon at the rate of % per annum, compounded quarterly) by the Trust during any such Extension Period. If SunAmerica exercises the right to extend an interest payment period, SunAmerica may not during such Extension Period declare or pay dividends on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a distribution or liquidation payment with respect to, any of its common stock or preferred stock; provided that SunAmerica will be permitted to pay accrued dividends (and cash in lieu of fractional shares) upon the conversion of any of its Series D Preferred Stock. SunAmerica has outstanding 5,002,500 $2.78 Depositary Shares (the "Series D Depositary Shares"), each representing one-fiftieth of a share of Series D Preferred Stock. Dividends accrue on each Series D Depositary Share at the rate of $2.78 per year. On March 1, 1996, unless previously redeemed, each of the outstanding Series D Depositary Shares will convert into one share of SunAmerica's common stock and the right to receive an amount in cash equal to all accrued and unpaid dividends. Prior to the termination of any Extension Period, SunAmerica may further extend such Extension Period; provided that such Extension Period together with all such previous and further extensions thereof may not exceed 20 consecutive quarterly interest periods. Upon the termination of any Extension Period and the payment of all amounts then due, SunAmerica may commence a new Extension Period, subject to the above requirements. SunAmerica may also prepay at any time all or any portion of the interest accrued during an Extension Period. Consequently, there could be multiple Extension Periods of varying lengths (up to nine Extension Periods of 20 consecutive quarterly interest periods each or more numerous shorter Extension Periods) throughout the term of the Junior Subordinated Debentures. See "Description of the Preferred Securities -- Dividends" and "Description of the Junior Subordinated Debentures -- Option to Extend Interest Payment Period". Because SunAmerica has the right to extend the interest payment period up to 20 consecutive quarterly interest periods on various occasions, the Junior Subordinated Debentures will be treated as issued with "original issue discount" for United States federal income tax purposes. As a result, holders of Preferred Securities will be required to include their pro rata share of original issue discount in gross income as it accrues for United States federal income tax purposes in advance of the receipt of cash. See "Taxation -- Accrual of Original Issue Discount and Premium" and "-- Potential Extension of Payment Period on the Junior Subordinated Debentures". Listing and Trading of Preferred Securities and Series B Preferred The Preferred Securities constitute a new issue of securities with no established trading market. While the Preferred Securities have been approved for listing on the NYSE, subject to notice of issuance, there can be no assurance that an active market for the Preferred Securities will develop or be sustained in the future on such exchange. Although the Dealer Manager has indicated to SunAmerica and the Trust that it intends to make a market in the Preferred Securities as permitted by applicable laws and regulations prior to the commencement of trading on the NYSE, it is not obligated to do so and may discontinue any such market-making at any time without notice. Accordingly, no assurance can be given as to the liquidity of, or trading markets for, the Preferred Securities. In order to satisfy the NYSE listing requirements, acceptance of Series B Preferred validly tendered in the Offer is subject to the condition that as of the Expiration Date there be at least 400 record or beneficial holders of Preferred Securities to be issued in exchange for such Series B Preferred, which condition may not be waived by SunAmerica or the Trust. To the extent Series B Preferred is tendered and accepted in the Offer, the liquidity and trading market for the Series B Preferred to be outstanding following the Offer, and the terms upon which such shares of Series B Preferred could be sold, could be adversely affected. In addition, if the Offer is substantially subscribed or oversubscribed, there would be a significant risk that round lot holdings of Series B Preferred outstanding following the Offer would be limited. See "Listing and Trading of Preferred Securities and Series B Preferred." The Offer is for up to 5,500,000 shares of Series B Preferred (or 97.9% of the 5,620,000 shares of Series B Preferred outstanding) rather than for all the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred, to reduce the risk that the Series B Preferred would be subject to delisting following consummation of the Offer. Under the rules of the NYSE, preferred securities such as the Series B Preferred are subject to delisting if (i) the aggregate value of publicly-held shares is less than $2 million and (ii) the number of publicly-held shares is less than 100,000. Since at least 120,000 shares of Series B Preferred will remain outstanding following consummation of the Offer, the number of outstanding shares of Series B Preferred will exceed the delisting criteria set forth in clause (ii) above. In addition, based on the market price of the Series B Preferred on the NYSE ($25 3/8 on December 19, 1994, the closing sales price of the Series B Preferred on the NYSE on the last full trading day immediately prior to SunAmerica's first public announcement of the Offer, and $26 1/8 on April 17, 1995), the Company believes that the aggregate value of the minimum number (120,000) of shares of Series B Preferred which will be outstanding following consummation of the Offer should exceed the delisting criteria set forth in clause (i) above. See "Price Range of Series B Preferred". If less than 5,500,000 shares of Series B Preferred are validly tendered, then the number of shares of Series B Preferred remaining outstanding, and the market value thereof, will be even greater. Special Event Redemption or Distribution Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Tax Event or Investment Company Event (each as defined herein), which may occur at any time, the Trust shall, unless the Junior Subordinated Debentures are redeemed in the limited circumstances described below, be dissolved with the result that, in the manner described in "Description of the Preferred Securities -- Liquidation Distribution Upon Dissolution", Junior Subordinated Debentures having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate stated liquidation amount of, and bearing accrued and unpaid interest equal to accrued and unpaid distributions on, the Preferred Securities and Common Securities would be distributed on a Pro Rata Basis to the holders of the Preferred Securities and Common Securities in liquidation of the Trust. In the case of a Tax Event, in certain circumstances, SunAmerica shall have the right to redeem at any time the Junior Subordinated Debentures, in whole or in part, in which event the Trust will redeem Preferred Securities and Common Securities on a Pro Rata Basis to the same extent as the Junior Subordinated Debentures are redeemed. There can be no assurance as to the market prices for Preferred Securities or the Junior Subordinated Debentures which may be distributed in exchange for Preferred Securities if a dissolution and liquidation of the Trust were to occur. Accordingly, the Preferred Securities or the Junior Subordinated Debentures which the investor may receive on dissolution and liquidation of the Trust, may trade at a discount to the price of the Series B Preferred exchanged. See "Description of the Preferred Securities -- Special Event Redemption or Distribution" and "Description of the Junior Subordinated Debentures -- General". Under current United States federal income tax law, a distribution of the Junior Subordinated Debentures upon a Tax Event or Investment Company Event would not be a taxable event to holders of the Preferred Securities. See "Taxation -- Distribution of Junior Subordinated Debentures to Holders of Preferred Securities". Limited Voting Rights Holders of Preferred Securities will have limited voting rights and, subject to the rights of holders of Preferred Securities to appoint a Special Regular Trustee upon the occurrence of an Appointment Event, will not be able to appoint, remove or replace, or to increase or decrease the number of, Trustees, which rights are vested exclusively in the Common Securities. Potential Market Volatility During Extension Period As described above, SunAmerica has the right to extend an interest payment period on the Junior Subordinated Debentures from time to time for a period not exceeding 20 consecutive quarterly interest periods. If SunAmerica determines to extend an interest payment period, or if SunAmerica thereafter extends an Extension Period or prepays interest accrued during an Extension Period as described above, the market price of the Preferred Securities is likely to be affected. In addition, as a result of such rights, the market price of the Preferred Securities (which represent an undivided interest in Junior Subordinated Debentures) may be more volatile than other securities on which original issue discount accrues that do not have such rights. A holder that disposes of its Preferred Securities during an Extension Period, therefore, may not receive the same return on its investment as a holder that continues to hold its Preferred Securities. See "Description of the Junior Subordinated Debentures -- Option to Extend Interest Payment Period". COMPARISON OF PREFERRED SECURITIES AND SERIES B PREFERRED The following is a brief summary of certain terms of the Preferred Securities and the Series B Preferred. For a more complete description of the Preferred Securities, see "Description of the Preferred Securities". For a complete description of the Junior Subordinated Debentures which will be deposited in the Trust as trust assets and will represent the sole source for the payment of distributions and other payments on the Preferred Securities, see "Description of the Junior Subordinated Debentures".

The Trust is not permitted to incur any indebtedness for borrowed money. The Declaration provides that SunAmerica shall pay for all debts and obligations (other than with respect to the Trust Securities) and all costs and expenses of the Trust, including any income taxes, duties and other governmental charges, and all costs and expenses with respect thereto, to which the Trust may become subject, except for United States withholding taxes. SunAmerica's obligations under the Preferred Securities Guarantee will rank subordinate and junior to all other liabilities of SunAmerica, including the Junior Subordinated Debentures, except those made pari passu or subordinate by their terms, and will be effectively subordinated to all obligations of SunAmerica's subsidiaries, and senior to all capital stock now or hereafter issued by SunAmerica and to any guarantee now or hereafter entered into by SunAmerica in respect of any of its capital stock.

The Property Trustee has the power to exercise all rights under the Indenture with respect to the Junior Subordinated Debentures and is also authorized to enforce the Preferred Securities Guarantee on behalf of holders of the Preferred Securities. If the Trust's failure to make distributions is a consequence of SunAmerica's exercise of its right to extend the interest payment period for the Junior Subordinated Debentures as described under "Distribution/Dividend Rate", the Property Trustee will have no right to enforce the payment of distributions until an Event of Default under the Declaration shall have occurred. The holders of at least a majority in liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities will have the right to direct the Property Trustee with respect to certain matters under the Declaration and the Preferred Securities Guarantee. If the Property Trustee fails to enforce its rights under the Indenture or fails to enforce the Preferred Securities Guarantee, any holder of Preferred Securities may, after a period of 30 days has elapsed from such holder's written request to the Property Trustee to enforce such rights or the Preferred Securities Guarantee, institute a legal proceeding against SunAmerica to enforce such rights or the Preferred Securities Guarantee, as the case may be.
SUNAMERICA SunAmerica is a diversified financial services company with more than $24 billion of assets owned or under management. At December 31, 1994, these assets consisted of $14.78 billion of assets owned by SunAmerica, $2.04 billion of assets managed in mutual funds and private accounts and $7.63 billion under custody in retirement trust accounts. Together, the SunAmerica life insurance companies rank among the largest U.S. issuers of annuities. Complementing these annuity operations are SunAmerica's asset management operations; its two broker-dealers, which SunAmerica believes, based on industry data, represent the largest network of independent registered representatives in the nation; and its trust company which provides administrative and custodial services to qualified retirement plans. Through these subsidiaries, SunAmerica specializes in the sale of tax-deferred long-term savings products and investments to the expanding preretirement savings market. SunAmerica markets fixed annuities and fee-generating variable annuities, mutual funds and trust services, as well as guaranteed investment contracts. SunAmerica's products are distributed through a broad spectrum of financial services distribution channels, including independent registered representatives of SunAmerica's broker-dealer subsidiaries and unaffiliated broker-dealers, independent general insurance agents and financial institutions. The principal executive offices of SunAmerica are located at 1 SunAmerica Center, Los Angeles, California 90067-6022, telephone number (310) 772-6000. SUNAMERICA CAPITAL TRUST I The Trust is a statutory business trust that was formed under the Trust Act on March 22, 1995 pursuant to a declaration of trust dated March 21, 1995 among the Trustees and SunAmerica and the filing of a certificate of trust with the Secretary of State of Delaware. Such declaration of trust will be amended and restated in its entirety as of the date the Trust accepts Series B Preferred in the Offer (see "The Offer -- Terms of the Offer") substantially in the form filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this Offering Circular/Prospectus forms a part. The Declaration is qualified under the Trust Indenture Act. Upon issuance of the Preferred Securities, the holders thereof will own all of the issued and outstanding Preferred Securities. SunAmerica has agreed to acquire Common Securities in an amount equal to at least 3% of the total capital of the Trust and will own, directly or indirectly, all of the issued and outstanding Common Securities. The Preferred Securities and the Common Securities will rank pari passu with each other and will have equivalent terms; provided that (i) if an Event of Default under the Declaration occurs and is continuing, the holders of Preferred Securities will have a priority over holders of the Common Securities with respect to payments in respect of distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption or otherwise and (ii) holders of Common Securities have the exclusive right (subject to the terms of the Declaration) to appoint, remove or replace Trustees and to increase or decrease the number of Trustees, subject to the right of holders of Preferred Securities to appoint a Special Regular Trustee upon the occurrence of an Appointment Event. The number of Trustees of the Trust shall initially be five. Three of the Trustees will be the Regular Trustees. The fourth trustee is The Bank of New York, which is unaffiliated with SunAmerica and which will serve as the Property Trustee and act as the indenture trustee for purposes of the Trust Indenture Act. The fifth trustee is an affiliate of The Bank of New York and will serve as the Delaware Trustee. Pursuant to the Declaration, legal title to the Junior Subordinated Debentures will be held by the Property Trustee for the benefit of the holders of the Trust Securities and the Property Trustee will have the power to exercise all rights, powers and privileges under the Indenture with respect to the Junior Subordinated Debentures. In addition, the Property Trustee will maintain exclusive control of the Property Account to hold all payments in respect of the Junior Subordinated Debentures for the benefit of the holders of Trust Securities. The Property Trustee will promptly make distributions to the holders of the Trust Securities out of funds from the Property Account. The Property Trustee will also hold the Preferred Securities Guarantee for the benefit of the holders of the Preferred Securities. Subject to the right of holders of Preferred Securities to appoint a Special Regular Trustee upon the occurrence of an Appointment Event, SunAmerica, as the direct or indirect owner of all of the Common Securities, has the exclusive right (subject to the terms of the Declaration) to appoint, remove or replace Trustees and to increase or decrease the number of Trustees, provided that the number of Trustees shall at least be three, a majority of which shall be Regular Trustees. The Trust exists for the purpose of (a) issuing (i) its Preferred Securities in exchange for Series B Preferred validly tendered in the Offer and delivering such Series B Preferred to SunAmerica in consideration of the deposit by SunAmerica of Junior Subordinated Debentures in the Trust as trust assets, and (ii) its Common Securities to SunAmerica in exchange for cash and investing the proceeds thereof in an equivalent amount of Junior Subordinated Debentures and (b) engaging in such other activities as are necessary or incidental thereto. The rights of the holders of the Preferred Securities, including economic rights, rights to information and voting rights, are set forth in the Declaration, the Business Trust Act and the Trust Indenture Act. Under the Declaration, the Trust shall not, and the Trustees shall cause the Trust not to, engage in any activity other than in connection with the purposes of the Trust or other than as required or authorized by the Declaration. In particular, the Trust shall not and the Trustees shall not (a) invest any proceeds received by the Trust from holding the Junior Subordinated Debentures but shall promptly distribute from the Property Account all such proceeds to holders of Trust Securities pursuant to the terms of the Declaration and of the Trust Securities; (b) acquire any assets other than as expressly provided in the Declaration; (c) possess Trust property for other than a Trust purpose; (d) make any loans, other than loans represented by the Junior Subordinated Debentures; (e) possess any power or otherwise act in such a way as to vary the Trust assets or the terms of the Trust Securities in any way whatsoever; (f) issue any securities or other evidences of beneficial ownership of, or beneficial interests in, the Trust other than the Trust Securities; (g) incur any indebtedness for borrowed money or (h)(i) direct the time, method and place of executing any trust or power conferred upon the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Junior Subordinated Debentures or the Property Trustee with respect to the Preferred Securities, (ii) waive any past default that is waivable under the Indenture or the Declaration, (iii) exercise any right to rescind or annul any declaration that the principal of all of the Junior Subordinated Debentures shall be due and payable or (iv) consent to any amendment, modification or termination of the Indenture or the Junior Subordinated Debentures or the Declaration, in each case where such consent shall be required, unless in the case of this clause (h) the Property Trustee shall have received an unqualified opinion of nationally recognized independent tax counsel recognized as expert in such matters to the effect that such action will not cause the Trust to be classified for United States federal income tax purposes as an association taxable as a corporation or a partnership and that the Trust will continue to be classified as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes. The books and records of the Trust will be maintained at the principal office of the Trust and will be open for inspection by a holder of Preferred Securities or his representative for any purpose reasonably related to its interest in the Trust during normal business hours. Each holder of Preferred Securities will be furnished annually with unaudited financial statements of the Trust as soon as available after the end of the Trust's fiscal year. Except as provided below or under the Business Trust Act and the Trust Indenture Act, holders of Preferred Securities will have no voting rights. If (i) distributions on the Preferred Securities are in arrears for 6 consecutive quarterly distribution periods, (ii) an Event of Default under the Declaration occurs and is continuing or (iii) SunAmerica is in default on any of its payment obligations under the Preferred Securities Guarantee, holders of Preferred Securities shall have the right to vote, as a single class, for the appointment of a Special Regular Trustee who need not be an employee or officer of or otherwise affiliated with SunAmerica. The Special Regular Trustee shall have the same rights, powers and privileges under the Declaration as the Regular Trustees. See "Description of the Preferred Securities -- Voting Rights". The Property Trustee, for the benefit of the holders of the Trust Securities, is authorized under the Declaration to exercise all rights under the Indenture with respect to the Junior Subordinated Debentures. The Property Trustee shall also be authorized to enforce the rights of holders of Preferred Securities under the Preferred Securities Guarantee. If the Trust's failure to make distributions on the Preferred Securities is a consequence of SunAmerica's exercise of its right to extend the interest payment period for the Junior Subordinated Debentures, the Property Trustee will have no right to enforce the payment of distributions on the Preferred Securities until an Event of Default shall have occurred. Holders of at least a majority in liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities will have the right to direct the Property Trustee with respect to certain matters under the Declaration and the Preferred Securities Guarantee. If the Property Trustee fails to enforce its rights under the Indenture or fails to enforce the Preferred Securities Guarantee, any holder of Preferred Securities may, after a period of 30 days has elapsed from such holder's written request to the Property Trustee to enforce such rights or the Preferred Securities Guarantee, institute a legal proceeding against SunAmerica to enforce such rights or the Preferred Securities Guarantee, as the case may be. See "Description of the Preferred Securities -- Voting Rights". If an Indenture Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to Junior Subordinated Debentures, an Event of Default under the Declaration will occur and be continuing with respect to the Trust Securities. In such event, the Declaration provides that the holders of Common Securities will be deemed to have waived any such Event of Default with respect to the Common Securities until all Events of Default with respect to the Preferred Securities have been cured or waived. Until all such Events of Default with respect to the Preferred Securities have been so cured or waived, the Property Trustee will be deemed to be acting solely on behalf of the holders of the Preferred Securities and only the holders of the Preferred Securities will have the right to direct the Property Trustee with respect to certain matters under the Declaration and consequently under the Indenture. In the event that any Event of Default with respect to the Preferred Securities is waived by the holders of the Preferred Securities as provided in the Declaration, the holders of Common Securities pursuant to the Declaration have agreed that such waiver also constitutes a waiver of such Event of Default with respect to the Common Securities for all purposes under the Declaration without any further act, vote or consent of the holders of the Common Securities. See "Description of the Preferred Securities". The Declaration provides that the Trustees may treat the person in whose name a Preferred Security is registered on the books and records of the Trust as the sole holder thereof and of the Preferred Securities represented thereby for purposes of receiving distributions and for all other purposes and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such certificate or in the Preferred Securities represented thereby on the part of any person, whether or not the Trust shall have actual or other notice thereof. Preferred Securities will be issued in fully registered form. Investors may elect to hold their Preferred Securities directly or, subject to the rules and procedures of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") described under "Description of the Preferred Securities -- Book-Entry; Delivery and Form", hold interests in a global certificate registered on the books and records of the Trust in the name of DTC or its nominee. Under the Declaration: (i) the Trust and the Trustees shall be entitled to deal with DTC (or any successor depositary) for all purposes, including the payment of distributions and receiving approvals, votes or consents under the Declaration, and except as set forth in the Declaration with respect to the Property Trustee, shall have no obligation to persons owning Preferred Securities ("Preferred Security Beneficial Owners") registered in the name of and held by DTC or its nominee; and (ii) the rights of Preferred Security Beneficial Owners shall be exercised only through DTC (or any successor depositary) and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Owners and DTC and/or its participants. See "Description of the Preferred Securities -- Book-Entry; Delivery and Form". With respect to Preferred Securities registered in the name of and held by DTC or its nominee, all notices and other communications required under the Declaration shall be given to, and all distributions on such Preferred Securities shall be given or made to, DTC (or its successor). In the Declaration, SunAmerica has agreed to pay for all debts and obligations (other than with respect to the Trust Securities) and all costs and expenses of the Trust, including the fees and expenses of the Trustees and any taxes and all costs and expenses with respect thereto, to which the Trust may become subject, except for United States withholding taxes. See "Risk Factors" and "Description of the Preferred Securities". The foregoing obligations of SunAmerica under the Declaration are for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, any person to whom any such debts, obligations, costs, expenses and taxes are owed (a "Creditor") whether or not such Creditor has received notice hereof. Any such Creditor may enforce such obligations of SunAmerica directly against SunAmerica and SunAmerica has irrevocably waived any right or remedy to require that any such Creditor take any action against the Trust or any other person before proceeding against SunAmerica. SunAmerica has agreed in the Declaration to execute such additional agreements as may be necessary or desirable in order to give full effect to the foregoing. The foregoing summary of certain provisions of the Declaration does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Declaration which has been filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this Offering Circular/Prospectus is a part.

CAPITALIZATION The following table sets forth the consolidated capitalization of SunAmerica and its subsidiaries at December 31, 1994 and as adjusted to give effect to the issuance of Preferred Securities in exchange for the Series B Preferred. Interest rates are as of December 31, 1994. The "As Adjusted" capitalization described in the table below assumes that Holders of 5,500,000 shares of Series B Preferred elect to participate in the Offer. To the extent holders of Series B Preferred do not participate in the Offer, Minority interests in consolidated subsidiary would be reduced and Preferred Stock would be increased by an amount equal to the additional liquidation value of the Series B Preferred which remained outstanding.

This refinancing will permit SunAmerica to deduct interest payable on the Junior Subordinated Debentures for United States federal income tax purposes; dividends payable on the Series B Preferred are not deductible. Following the Offer, and depending on the number of shares of Series B Preferred tendered, SunAmerica may take additional actions to reduce further or eliminate the remaining Series B Preferred, including by making purchases of Series B Preferred in the open market, by making subsequent tender or exchange offers or by undertaking a recapitalization transaction. Such transactions could be undertaken on terms which are more favorable or less favorable than the exchange ratios in the Offer. SunAmerica has made no decision to take any such actions, and there is no assurance that SunAmerica will take any such actions. General Participation in the Offer is voluntary and Holders of Series B Preferred should carefully consider whether to accept. Neither the board of directors of SunAmerica nor SunAmerica nor the Trustees nor the Trust makes any recommendation to Holders as to whether to tender or refrain from tendering in the Offer. Holders of Series B Preferred are urged to consult their financial and tax advisors in making their decisions on what action to take in light of their own particular circumstances. Unless the context requires otherwise, the term "Holder" with respect to the Offer means (i) any person in whose name any shares of Series B Preferred are registered on the books of SunAmerica or (ii) any other person who has obtained a properly completed stock power from the registered holder, or (iii) any person whose shares of Series B Preferred are held of record by DTC who desires to deliver such Series B Preferred by book-entry transfer at DTC. Terms of the Offer Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the Letter of Transmittal, the Trust will exchange its Preferred Securities for up to 5,500,000 outstanding shares of Series B Preferred. The Offer will be effected on a basis of one Preferred Security for each share of Series B Preferred validly tendered and accepted for exchange. See " -- Procedures for Tendering". Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the Letter of Transmittal, the Trust will accept up to 5,500,000 shares of Series B Preferred validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date and, unless the Offer has been withdrawn or terminated, will deliver Preferred Securities in exchange therefor to tendering Holders of Series B Preferred as promptly as practicable following the Expiration Date. The Trust expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to delay acceptance for exchange of Series B Preferred tendered under the Offer and the delivery of the Preferred Securities with respect to the Series B Preferred accepted for exchange (subject to Rules 13e-4 and 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, which require that the Trust consummate the Offer or return the Series B Preferred deposited by or on behalf of the Holders thereof promptly after the termination or withdrawal of the Offer), or to withdraw or terminate the Offer at any time prior to the Expiration Date for any reason. In all cases, except to the extent waived by the Trust, delivery of Preferred Securities issued with respect to the Series B Preferred accepted for exchange pursuant to the Offer will be made only after timely receipt by the Exchange Agent of Series B Preferred (or confirmation of book-entry transfer thereof), a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal and any other documents required thereby. As of the date of this Offering Circular/Prospectus, there were 5,620,000 shares of Series B Preferred outstanding. This Offering Circular/Prospectus, together with the Letter of Transmittal, is being sent to all registered Holders as of April , 1995. The Trust shall be deemed to have accepted validly tendered Series B Preferred (or defectively tendered Series B Preferred with respect to which the Trust has waived such defect) when, as and if the Trust has given oral or written notice thereof to the Exchange Agent. The Exchange Agent will act as agent for the tendering Holders for the purpose of receiving Series B Preferred from, and remitting Preferred Securities to, tendering Holders who are participating in the Offer. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, delivery of Preferred Securities to tendering Holders will be made as promptly as practicable following the Expiration Date. If proration of tendered shares of Series B Preferred is required, because of the difficulty in determining the number of shares of Series B Preferred validly tendered (including shares tendered by the guaranteed delivery procedures described in "-- Procedures for Tendering"), the Trust does not expect that it would be able to announce the final proration factor or to commence the exchange for any shares of Series B Preferred pursuant to the Offer until approximately seven Business Days after the Expiration Date. Preliminary results of the proration will be announced by press release as promptly as practicable after the Expiration Date. Holders of shares of Series B Preferred may obtain such preliminary information from the Dealer Manager, the Information Agent or the Exchange Agent and may also be able to obtain such information from their brokers. If any tendered shares of Series B Preferred are not accepted for exchange because of an invalid tender, proration, the occurrence of certain other events set forth herein or otherwise, unless otherwise requested by the Holder under "Special Delivery Instructions" in the Letter of Transmittal, such shares of Series B Preferred will be returned, without expense, to the tendering Holder thereof (or in the case of shares of Series B Preferred tendered by book-entry transfer into the Exchange Agent's account at DTC, such shares of Series B Preferred will be credited to an account maintained at DTC designated by the participant therein who so delivered such Series B Preferred), as promptly as practicable after the Expiration Date or the withdrawal or termination of the Offer. Holders of Series B Preferred will not have any appraisal or dissenters' rights under the Maryland General Corporation Law in connection with the Offer. The Trust intends to conduct the Offer in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. Holders who tender Series B Preferred in the Offer will not be required to pay brokerage commissions or fees or, subject to the instructions in the Letter of Transmittal, transfer taxes with respect to the exchange of Series B Preferred pursuant to the Offer. See "Fees and Expenses; Transfer Taxes". Holders tendering Series B Preferred held in global form shall receive Preferred Securities in global form and holders tendering Series B Preferred held directly in certificated form shall receive Preferred Securities in certificated form, in each case unless otherwise specified in the Letter of Transmittal. See "Procedures for Tendering". Expiration Date; Extensions; Amendments; Termination The Offer will expire on the Expiration Date. The Trust reserves the right to extend the Offer in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time by giving oral or written notice to the Exchange Agent and by timely public announcement communicated, unless otherwise required by applicable law or regulation, by making a release to the Dow Jones News Service. During any extension of the Offer, all Series B Preferred previously tendered pursuant to the Offer and not withdrawn will remain subject to the Offer. Except as provided below, the Trust expressly reserves the right to (i) extend, amend or modify the terms of the Offer in any manner and (ii) withdraw or terminate the Offer and not accept for exchange any Series B Preferred at any time prior to the Expiration Date for any reason, including (without limitation) if fewer than 2,810,000 shares of Series B are tendered in the Offer (which conditions may be waived by SunAmerica and the Trust). If the Trust makes a material change in the terms of the Offer or if it waives a material condition of the Offer, the Trust will extend the Offer. The minimum period for which the Offer will be extended following a material change or waiver, other than a change in the amount of Series B Preferred sought for exchange, will depend upon the facts and circumstances, including the relative materiality of the change or waiver. With respect to a change in the amount of Series B Preferred sought, if required, the Offer will remain open for a minimum of ten Business Days following public announcement of such change. Any withdrawal or termination of the Offer will be followed as promptly as practicable by public announcement thereof. If the Trust withdraws or terminates the Offer, it will give immediate notice to the Exchange Agent, and all Series B Preferred theretofore tendered pursuant to the Offer will be returned promptly to the tendering Holders thereof. See "-- Withdrawal of Tenders". In order to satisfy the NYSE listing requirements, acceptance of Series B Preferred validly tendered in the Offer is subject to the condition that as of the Expiration Date there be at least 400 record or beneficial holders of Preferred Securities to be issued in exchange for such Series B Preferred, which condition may not be waived. Procedures for Tendering The tender of Series B Preferred by a Holder thereof pursuant to one of the procedures set forth below will constitute an agreement between such Holder and the Trust in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the Letter of Transmittal. Each Holder of the Series B Preferred wishing to participate in the Offer must (i) properly complete and sign the Letter of Transmittal in accordance with the instructions contained herein and in the Letter of Transmittal, together with any required signature guarantees, and deliver the same to the Exchange Agent, at one of its addresses set forth in "-- Exchange Agent and Information Agent" prior to the Expiration Date and either (a) certificates for the Series B Preferred must be received by the Exchange Agent at such address or (b) such Series B Preferred must be transferred pursuant to the procedures for book-entry transfer described below and a confirmation of such book-entry transfer must be received by the Exchange Agent, in each case prior to the Expiration Date or (ii) comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures described below. In order to participate in the Offer, Holders of Series B Preferred must submit a Letter of Transmittal and comply with the other procedures for tendering in accordance with the instructions contained herein and in the Letter of Transmittal prior to the Expiration Date. LETTERS OF TRANSMITTAL, SERIES B PREFERRED AND ANY OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS SHOULD BE SENT ONLY TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT, NOT TO THE TRUST, THE DEALER MANAGER OR THE INFORMATION AGENT. Special Procedure for Beneficial Owners. Any beneficial owner whose Series B Preferred is registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and who wishes to tender should contact such registered Holder promptly and instruct such registered Holder to tender on such beneficial owner's behalf. If such beneficial owner wishes to tender on its own behalf, such owner must, prior to completing and executing the Letter of Transmittal and delivering its Series B Preferred, either make appropriate arrangements to register ownership of the Series B Preferred in such owner's name or obtain a properly completed stock power from the registered Holder. The transfer of registered ownership may take considerable time and may not be able to be completed prior to the Expiration Date. THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF SERIES B PREFERRED AND ALL OTHER DOCUMENTS IS AT THE ELECTION AND RISK OF THE HOLDER. IF SENT BY MAIL, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, BE USED, INSURANCE BE OBTAINED, AND THE MAILING BE MADE SUFFICIENTLY IN ADVANCE OF THE EXPIRATION DATE TO PERMIT DELIVERY TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT ON OR BEFORE THE EXPIRATION DATE. Signature Guarantees. If tendered Series B Preferred is registered in the name of the signer of the Letter of Transmittal and the Preferred Securities to be issued in exchange therefor are to be issued (and any untendered Series B Preferred is to be reissued) in the name of the registered Holder (which term, for the purposes described herein, shall include any participant in DTC whose name appears on a security listing as the owner of Series B Preferred), the signature of such signer need not be guaranteed. If the tendered Series B Preferred is registered in the name of someone other than the signer of the Letter of Transmittal, or if Preferred Securities issued in exchange therefor are to be issued in the name of any other person other than the signer of the Letter of Transmittal, such tendered Series B Preferred must be endorsed or accompanied by written instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trust and duly executed by the registered Holder, and the signature on the endorsement or instrument of transfer must be guaranteed by a financial institution (including most banks, savings and loans associations and brokerage houses) that is a participant in the Security Transfer Agents Medallion Program or the Stock Exchange Medallion Program (any of the foregoing hereinafter referred to as an "Eligible Institution"). If the Preferred Securities and/or the Series B Preferred not exchanged are to be delivered to an address other than that of the registered Holder appearing on the register for the Series B Preferred, the signature in the Letter of Transmittal must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution. Book-Entry Transfer. The Trust understands that the Exchange Agent will make a request promptly after the date of this Offering Circular/Prospectus to establish accounts with respect to the Series B Preferred at DTC for the purpose of facilitating the Offer, and subject to the establishment thereof, any financial institution that is a participant in DTC's system may make book-entry delivery of Series B Preferred by causing DTC to transfer such Series B Preferred into the Exchange Agent's account with respect to the Series B Preferred in accordance with DTC's Automated Tender Offer Program ("ATOP") procedures for such book-entry transfers. However, the exchange for the Series B Preferred so tendered will only be made after timely confirmation (a "Book-Entry Confirmation") of such Book-Entry Transfer of Series B Preferred into the Exchange Agent's account, and timely receipt by the Exchange Agent of an Agent's Message (as such term is defined in the next sentence) and any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal. The term "Agent's Message" means a message, transmitted by DTC and received by the Exchange Agent and forming a part of a Book-Entry Confirmation, which states that DTC has received an express acknowledgment from a participant tendering Series B Preferred that is the subject of such Book-Entry Confirmation that such participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter of Transmittal, and that the Trust may enforce such agreement against such participant. Guaranteed Delivery. If a Holder desires to participate in the Offer and time will not permit a Letter of Transmittal or Series B Preferred to reach the Exchange Agent before the Expiration Date or the procedure for book-entry transfer cannot be completed on a timely basis, a tender may be effected if the Exchange Agent has received at its office prior to the Expiration Date, a letter, telegram or facsimile transmission from an Eligible Institution setting forth the name and address of the tendering Holder, the name(s) in which the Series B Preferred is registered and, if the Series B Preferred is held in certificated form, the certificate numbers of the Series B Preferred to be tendered, and stating that the tender is being made thereby and guaranteeing that within five NYSE trading days after the date of execution of such letter, telegram or facsimile transmission by the Eligible Institution, the Series B Preferred in proper form for transfer together with a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (and any other required documents), or a confirmation of book-entry transfer of such Series B Preferred into the Exchange Agent's account at DTC, will be delivered by such Eligible Institution. Unless the Series B Preferred being tendered by the above-described method is deposited with the Exchange Agent within the time period set forth above (accompanied or preceded by a properly completed Letter of Transmittal and any other required documents) or a confirmation of book-entry transfer of such Series B Preferred into the Exchange Agent's account at DTC in accordance with DTC's ATOP procedures is received, the Trust may, at its option, reject the tender. In addition to the copy being transmitted herewith, copies of a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery which may be used by Eligible Institutions for the purposes described in this paragraph are available from the Exchange Agent and the Information Agent. Miscellaneous. All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance for exchange of any tender of Series B Preferred will be determined by the Trust, whose determination will be final and binding. The Trust reserves the absolute right to reject any or all tenders not in proper form or the acceptance for exchange of which may, in the opinion of the Trust's counsel, be unlawful. The Trust also reserves the absolute right to waive any defect or irregularity in the tender of any Series B Preferred, and the Trust's interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Offer (including the instructions in the Letter of Transmittal) will be final and binding. None of the Trust, the Exchange Agent, the Dealer Manager, the Information Agent or any other person will be under any duty to give notification of any defects or irregularities in tenders or incur any liability for failure to give any such notification. Tenders of Series B Preferred involving any irregularities will not be deemed to have been made until such irregularities have been cured or waived. Series B Preferred received by the Exchange Agent that is not validly tendered and as to which the irregularities have not been cured or waived will be returned by the Exchange Agent to the tendering Holder (or in the case of Series B Preferred tendered by book-entry transfer into the Exchange Agent's account at DTC, such Series B Preferred will be credited to an account maintained at DTC designated by the participant therein who so delivered such Series B Preferred), unless otherwise requested by the Holder in the Letter of Transmittal, as promptly as practicable after the Expiration Date or the withdrawal or termination of the Offer. Letter of Transmittal The Letter of Transmittal contains, among other things, the following terms and conditions, which are part of the Offer. The party tendering Series B Preferred for exchange (the "Transferor") exchanges, assigns and transfers the Series B Preferred to the Trust, and irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Exchange Agent as the Transferor's agent and attorney-in-fact to cause the Series B Preferred to be assigned, transferred and exchanged. The Transferor represents and warrants that it has full power and authority to tender, exchange, assign and transfer the Series B Preferred and to acquire Preferred Securities issuable upon the exchange of such tendered Series B Preferred and that, when such Transferor's shares of Series B Preferred are accepted for exchange, the Trust will acquire good and unencumbered title to such shares of tendered Series B Preferred, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges and encumbrances and not subject to any adverse claim. The Transferor also warrants that it will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by the Trust to be necessary or desirable to complete the exchange, assignment and transfer of tendered Series B Preferred or transfer ownership of such Series B Preferred on the account books maintained by DTC. All authority conferred by the Transferor will survive the death, bankruptcy or incapacity of the Transferor and every obligation of the Transferor shall be binding upon the heirs, legal representatives, successors, assigns, executors and administrators of such Transferor. Withdrawal of Tenders Tenders of Series B Preferred pursuant to the Offer may be withdrawn at any time prior to the Expiration Date and, unless accepted for exchange by the Trust, may be withdrawn at any time after 40 Business Days after the date of this Offering Circular/Prospectus. To be effective, a written notice of withdrawal delivered by mail, hand delivery or facsimile transmission must be timely received by the Exchange Agent at the address set forth below under "-- Exchange Agent and Information Agent". The method of notification is at the risk and election of the Holder. Any such notice of withdrawal must specify (i) the Holder named in the Letter of Transmittal as having tendered Series B Preferred to be withdrawn, (ii) if the Series B Preferred is held in certificated form, the certificate numbers of the Series B Preferred to be withdrawn, (iii) that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Series B Preferred exchanged and (iv) the name of the registered Holder of such Series B Preferred, and must be signed by the Holder in the same manner as the original signature on the Letter of Transmittal (including any required signature guarantees) or be accompanied by evidence satisfactory to the Trust that the person withdrawing the tender has succeeded to the beneficial ownership of the Series B Preferred being withdrawn. The Exchange Agent will return the properly withdrawn Series B Preferred promptly following receipt of notice of withdrawal. If Series B Preferred has been tendered pursuant to the procedure for book-entry transfer, any notice of withdrawal must specify the name and number of the account at DTC to be credited with the withdrawn Series B Preferred and otherwise comply with DTC's procedures. All questions as to the validity of notice of withdrawal, including time of receipt, will be determined by the Trust, and such determination will be final and binding on all parties. Withdrawals of tenders of Series B Preferred may not be rescinded and any Series B Preferred withdrawn will thereafter be deemed not validly tendered for purposes of the Offer. Properly withdrawn Series B Preferred, however, may be retendered by following the procedures therefor described elsewhere herein at any time prior to the Expiration Date. See "-- Procedures for Tendering." Acceptance of Shares and Proration Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, if 5,500,000 or fewer shares of Series B Preferred have been validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date, the Trust will accept for exchange all such shares of Series B Preferred. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, if more than 5,500,000 shares of Series B Preferred (or, if decreased as described herein, such lesser number as the Trust may elect to purchase pursuant to the Offer) have been validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date, the Trust will accept for exchange shares of Series B Preferred from each tendering Holder on a pro rata basis, subject to adjustment to avoid the acceptance for exchange of fractional shares. If the Trust decreases the amount of Series B Preferred sought, and the Offer is scheduled to expire less than ten Business Days from and including the date that notice of such decrease is first published, sent or given in the manner specified in "-- Expiration Date; Extensions; Amendments; Termination", then the Offer will be extended for ten Business Days from and including the date of such notice. All shares of Series B Preferred not accepted pursuant to the Offer, including shares not purchased because of proration, will be returned to the tendering Holders at the Trust's expense as promptly as practicable following the Expiration Date.

Additional solicitation may be made by telephone or in person by officers and regular employees of SunAmerica and its affiliates. No additional compensation will be paid to any such officers and employees who engage in soliciting tenders. LISTING AND TRADING OF PREFERRED SECURITIES AND SERIES B PREFERRED The Preferred Securities constitute a new issue of securities with no established trading market. While the Preferred Securities have been approved for listing on the NYSE, subject to notice of issuance, there can be no assurance that an active market for the Preferred Securities will develop or be sustained in the future on such exchange. Although the Dealer Manager has indicated to the Trust that it intends to make a market in the Preferred Securities as permitted by applicable laws and regulations prior to the commencement of trading on the NYSE, it is not obligated to do so and may discontinue any such market-making at any time without notice. Accordingly, no assurance can be given as to the liquidity of, or trading markets for, the Preferred Securities. In order to satisfy the NYSE listing requirements, acceptance of Series B Preferred validly tendered in the Offer is subject to the condition that as of the Expiration Date there be at least 400 record or beneficial holders of Preferred Securities to be issued in exchange for such Series B Preferred, which condition may not be waived. To the extent that Series B Preferred is tendered and accepted in the Offer, the terms on which untendered Series B Preferred could subsequently be sold could be adversely affected. In addition, if the Offer is substantially subscribed or oversubscribed, there would be a significant risk that round lot holdings of Series B Preferred outstanding following the Offer would be limited. See "Risk Factors -- Listing and Trading of Preferred Securities and Series B Preferred". TRANSACTIONS AND ARRANGEMENTS CONCERNING THE OFFER Except as described herein, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships in connection with the Offer between SunAmerica or any of its directors or executive officers, the Trust or the Trustees and any person with respect to any securities of SunAmerica or the Trust, including the Junior Subordinated Debentures, the Series B Preferred and the Preferred Securities. FEES AND EXPENSES; TRANSFER TAXES The expenses of soliciting tenders of the Series B Preferred will be borne by SunAmerica. For compensation to be paid to the Dealer Manager and Soliciting Dealers, see "The Offer -- Dealer Manager; Soliciting Dealers". The total cash expenditures to be incurred by SunAmerica in connection with the Offer, other than fees payable to the Dealer Manager and Soliciting Dealers, but including the expenses of the Dealer Manager, printing, accounting and legal fees, and the fees and expenses of the Exchange Agent, the Information Agent, the Property Trustee, the Delaware Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, are estimated to be approximately $750,000. SunAmerica will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the exchange of Series B Preferred pursuant to the Offer. If, however, certificates representing Preferred Securities or shares of Series B Preferred not tendered or accepted for exchange, are to be delivered to, or are to be issued in the name of, any person other than the registered Holder of the Series B Preferred tendered or if a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of Series B Preferred pursuant to the Offer, then the amount of any such transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered Holder or any other persons) will be payable by the tendering Holder. If satisfactory evidence of payment of such taxes or exemption therefrom is not submitted with the Letter of Transmittal, the amount of such transfer taxes will be billed directly to such tendering Holder. PRICE RANGE OF SERIES B PREFERRED The Series B Preferred is listed and principally traded on the NYSE. The following table sets forth, for each period shown, the high and low sales prices of the Series B Preferred as reported on the NYSE Composite Tape.

Stockholders are urged to obtain a current market quotation for the Series B Preferred. DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED SECURITIES The Preferred Securities will be issued pursuant to the terms of the Declaration which is qualified under the Trust Indenture Act. The Property Trustee, The Bank of New York, but not the other Trustees of the Trust, will act as the indenture trustee for purposes of the Trust Indenture Act. The terms of the Preferred Securities and the Declaration include those stated in the Declaration and those made part of the Declaration by the Trust Indenture Act. The summary of certain material terms and provisions of the Preferred Securities and the Declaration set forth below does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Declaration, which has been filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this Offering Circular/Prospectus forms a part, the Business Trust Act and the Trust Indenture Act. General The Declaration authorizes the Trust to issue the Preferred Securities, which represent preferred undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust, and the Common Securities, which represent common undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust. All of the Common Securities will be owned, directly or indirectly, by SunAmerica. The Common Securities and the Preferred Securities rank pari passu with each other and will have equivalent terms except that (i) if an Event of Default under the Declaration occurs and is continuing, the rights of the holders of the Common Securities to payment in respect of periodic distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption or otherwise are subordinated to the rights of the holders of the Preferred Securities and (ii) holders of Common Securities have the exclusive right (subject to the terms of the Declaration) to appoint, remove or replace Trustees and to increase or decrease the number of Trustees, subject to the right of holders of Preferred Securities to appoint a Special Regular Trustee upon the occurrence of an Appointment Event. The Declaration does not permit the issuance by the Trust of any securities or other evidences of beneficial ownership of, or beneficial interests in, the Trust other than the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities, the incurrence of any indebtedness for borrowed money by the Trust or the making of any investment other than in the Junior Subordinated Debentures. Pursuant to the Declaration, the Property Trustee will own and hold the Junior Subordinated Debentures as trust assets for the benefit of the holders of the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities. The payment of distributions out of moneys held by the Property Trustee and payments on redemption of the Preferred Securities or liquidation of the Trust are guaranteed by SunAmerica on a subordinated basis as and to the extent described under "Description of the Preferred Securities Guarantee." The Property Trustee will hold the Preferred Securities Guarantee for the benefit of holders of the Preferred Securities. The Preferred Securities Guarantee is a full and unconditional guarantee from the time of issuance of the Preferred Securities, but the Preferred Securities Guarantee covers distributions and other payments on the Preferred Securities only if and to the extent that SunAmerica has made a payment to the Property Trustee of interest or principal on the Junior Subordinated Debentures deposited in the Trust as trust assets. See "Voting Rights". Distributions Distributions on the Preferred Securities will be fixed at a rate per annum of % of the stated liquidation amount of $25 per Preferred Security. Distributions in arrears for more than one quarter will bear interest thereon at the rate per annum of % of the stated liquidation amount of $25 per Preferred Security (to the extent permitted by law), compounded quarterly. The term "distributions" as used herein includes any such interest payable unless otherwise stated. The amount of distributions payable for any period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and for any period shorter than a full quarterly period for which distributions are computed, the amount of the distribution payable will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in such a 30-day month. Distributions on the Preferred Securities will be cumulative, will accrue from the first day following the Expiration Date (the "Accrual Date") and, except as otherwise described below, will be payable quarterly in arrears, on March 30, June 30, September 30 and December 30 of each year, commencing on June 30, 1995, but only if, and to the extent that, interest payments are made in respect of Junior Subordinated Debentures held by the Property Trustee. In addition, holders of Preferred Securities will be entitled to an additional cash distribution at the rate of 9 1/4% per annum of the liquidation amount thereof from March 15, 1995 through the Expiration Date in lieu of dividends accumulating after March 15, 1995 on their Series B Preferred accepted for exchange, such additional distribution to be made at the time the first distribution on the Preferred Securities is made. So long as SunAmerica shall not be in default in the payment of interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures, SunAmerica has the right under the Indenture to defer payments of interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures by extending the interest payment period from time to time on the Junior Subordinated Debentures for a period not exceeding 20 consecutive quarterly interest periods and, as a consequence, quarterly distributions on the Preferred Securities would not be made (but would continue to accrue with interest thereon at the rate of % per annum, compounded quarterly) by the Trust during any such Extension Period. If SunAmerica exercises the right to extend an interest payment period, SunAmerica may not declare or pay dividends on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a distribution or liquidation payment with respect to, any of its common stock or preferred stock during such Extension Period; provided that SunAmerica will be permitted to pay accrued dividends (and cash in lieu of fractional shares) upon the conversion of any of its Series D Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms of such stock. Prior to the termination of any such Extension Period, SunAmerica may further extend such Extension Period; provided that such Extension Period together with all such previous and further extensions thereof may not exceed 20 consecutive quarterly interest periods. Upon the termination of any Extension Period and the payment of all amounts then due, SunAmerica may commence a new Extension Period, subject to the above requirements. SunAmerica may also prepay at any time all or any portion of the interest accrued during an Extension Period. Consequently, there could be multiple Extension Periods of varying lengths (up to nine Extension Periods of 20 consecutive quarterly interest periods each or more numerous shorter Extension Periods) throughout the term of the Junior Subordinated Debentures. See "Risk Factors"; "Description of the Junior Subordinated Debentures -- Interest" and "-- Option to Extend Interest Payment Period". Payments of accrued distributions will be payable to holders of Preferred Securities as they appear on the books and records of the Trust on the first record date after the end of an Extension Period. Distributions on the Preferred Securities must be paid on the dates payable to the extent that the Property Trustee has cash on hand in the Property Account to permit such payment. The funds available for distribution to the holders of the Preferred Securities will be limited to payments received by the Property Trustee in respect of the Junior Subordinated Debentures that are deposited in the Trust as trust assets. See "Description of the Junior Subordinated Debentures". If SunAmerica does not make interest payments on the Junior Subordinated Debentures, the Property Trustee will not make distributions on the Preferred Securities. Under the Declaration, if and to the extent SunAmerica does make interest payments on the Junior Subordinated Debentures deposited in the Trust as trust assets, the Property Trustee is obligated to make distributions on the Trust Securities on a Pro Rata Basis. The payment of distributions on the Preferred Securities is guaranteed by SunAmerica on a subordinated basis as and to the extent set forth under "Description of the Preferred Securities Guarantee". The Preferred Securities Guarantee is a full and unconditional guarantee from the time of issuance of the Preferred Securities but the Preferred Securities Guarantee covers distributions and other payments on the Preferred Securities only if and to the extent that SunAmerica has made a payment to the Property Trustee of interest or principal on the Junior Subordinated Debentures deposited in the Trust as trust assets. As used in this Offering Circular/Prospectus the term "Pro Rata Basis" shall mean pro rata to each holder of Trust Securities according to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Trust Securities held by the relevant holder in relation to the aggregate liquidation amount of all Trust Securities outstanding unless, in relation to a payment, an Event of Default under the Declaration has occurred and is continuing, in which case any funds available to make such payment shall be paid first to each holder of the Preferred Securities pro rata according to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities held by the relevant holder in relation to the aggregate liquidation amount of all the Preferred Securities outstanding, and only after satisfaction of all amounts owed to the holders of the Preferred Securities, to each holder of Common Securities pro rata according to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Common Securities held by the relevant holder in relation to the aggregate liquidation amount of all the Common Securities outstanding. Distributions on the Preferred Securities will be made to the holders thereof as they appear on the books and records of the Trust on the relevant record dates, which will be the March 15, June 15, September 15 or December 15 prior to the relevant Distribution date. The Declaration provides that the payment dates or record dates for the Preferred Securities shall be the same as the payment dates and record dates for the Junior Subordinated Debentures. Distributions payable on any Preferred Securities that are not punctually paid on any Distribution date as a result of SunAmerica having failed to make the corresponding interest payment on the Debentures will forthwith cease to be payable to the person in whose name such Preferred Security is registered on the relevant record date, and such defaulted Distribution will instead be payable to the person in whose name such Preferred Security is registered on the special record date established by the Regular Trustees, which record date shall correspond to the special record date or other specified date determined in accordance with the Indenture; provided, however, that Distributions shall not be considered payable on any Distribution payment date falling within an Extension Period unless SunAmerica has elected to make a full or partial payment of interest accrued on the Debentures on such Distribution payment date. Distributions on the Preferred Securities will be paid through the Property Trustee who will hold amounts received in respect of the Junior Subordinated Debentures in the Property Account for the benefit of the holders of the Preferred and Common Securities. All distributions paid with respect to the Trust Securities shall be paid on a Pro Rata basis to the holders thereof entitled thereto. If any date on which distributions are to be made on the Preferred Securities is not a Business Day, then payment of the distribution to be made on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) except that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on such date. Special Event Redemption or Distribution If, at any time, a Tax Event or an Investment Company Event (each as hereinafter defined, and each a "Special Event") shall occur and be continuing, the Trust shall, unless the Junior Subordinated Debentures are redeemed in the limited circumstances described below, be dissolved with the result that, after satisfaction of creditors of the Trust, Junior Subordinated Debentures with an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate stated liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities would be distributed on a Pro Rata Basis to the holders of the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities in liquidation of such holders' interests in the Trust, within 90 days following the occurrence of such Special Event; provided, however, that in the case of the occurrence of a Tax Event, as a condition of such dissolution and distribution, the Regular Trustees shall have received an opinion of nationally recognized independent tax counsel experienced in such matters (a "No Recognition Opinion"), which opinion may rely on any then applicable published revenue rulings of the Internal Revenue Service, to the effect that the holders of the Preferred Securities will not recognize any gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of such dissolution and distribution of Junior Subordinated Debentures; and, provided, further, that, if at the time there is available to the Trust the opportunity to eliminate, within such 90 day period, the Special Event by taking some ministerial action, such as filing a form or making an election, or pursuing some other similar reasonable measure, which has no adverse effect on the Trust or SunAmerica or the holders of the Preferred Securities, the Trust will pursue such measure in lieu of dissolution. Furthermore, if in the case of the occurrence of a Tax Event, after receipt of a Dissolution Tax Opinion (as defined below), (i) the Regular Trustees have received an opinion (a "Redemption Tax Opinion") of nationally recognized independent tax counsel experienced in such matters that, as a result of a Tax Event, there is more than an insubstantial risk that SunAmerica would be precluded from deducting the interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures for United States federal income tax purposes even if the Junior Subordinated Debentures were distributed to the holders of Preferred Securities and Common Securities in liquidation of such holders' interests in the Trust as described above or (ii) the Regular Trustees shall have been informed by such tax counsel that a No Recognition Opinion cannot be delivered to the Trust, SunAmerica shall have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice, to redeem the Junior Subordinated Debentures in whole or in part for cash within 90 days following the occurrence of such Tax Event, and promptly following such redemption Preferred Securities and Common Securities with an aggregate liquidation amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Junior Subordinated Debentures so redeemed will be redeemed by the Trust at the Redemption Price on a Pro Rata Basis; provided, however, that if at the time there is available to SunAmerica or the Regular Trustees the opportunity to eliminate, within such 90 day period, the Tax Event by taking some ministerial action, such as filing a form or making an election, or pursuing some other similar reasonable measure, which has no adverse effect on the Trust, SunAmerica or the holders of the Preferred Securities, SunAmerica will pursue such measure in lieu of redemption and provided further that SunAmerica shall have no right to redeem the Junior Subordinated Debentures while the Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust are pursuing any such ministerial action. The Common Securities will be redeemed on a Pro Rata Basis with the Preferred Securities, except that if an Event of Default under the Declaration has occurred and is continuing, the Preferred Securities will have a priority over the Common Securities with respect to payment of the Redemption Price. "Tax Event" means that the Regular Trustees shall have obtained an opinion of nationally recognized independent tax counsel experienced in such matters (a "Dissolution Tax Opinion") to the effect that on or after the Expiration Date as a result of (a) any amendment to, or change (including any announced prospective change) in, the laws (or any regulations thereunder) of the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, (b) any amendment to, or change in, an interpretation or application of any such laws or regulations by any legislative body, court, governmental agency or regulatory authority (including the enactment of any legislation and the publication of any judicial decision or regulatory determination), (c) any interpretation or pronouncement that provides for a position with respect to such laws or regulations that differs from the theretofore generally accepted position or (d) any action taken by any governmental agency or regulatory authority, which amendment or change is enacted, promulgated, issued or effective or which interpretation or pronouncement is issued or announced or which action is taken, in each case on or after the Expiration Date, there is more than an insubstantial risk that (i) the Trust is, or will be within 90 days of the date thereof, subject to United States federal income tax with respect to income accrued or received on the Junior Subordinated Debentures, (ii) the Trust is, or will be within 90 days of the date thereof, subject to more than a de minimis amount of other taxes, duties or other governmental charges or (iii) interest payable by SunAmerica to the Trust on the Junior Subordinated Debentures is not, or within 90 days of the date thereof will not be, deductible by SunAmerica for United States federal income tax purposes. In the case of any uncertainty regarding a Tax Event, the good faith determination of the Regular Trustees (based on the advice of counsel) shall be conclusive. "Investment Company Event" means that the Regular Trustees shall have received an opinion of nationally recognized independent counsel experienced in practice under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), that as a result of the occurrence of a change in law or regulation or a change in interpretation or application of law or regulation by any legislative body, court, governmental agency or regulatory authority (a "Change in 1940 Act Law"), the Trust is or will be considered an "investment company" which is required to be registered under the 1940 Act, which Change in 1940 Act Law becomes effective on or after the Expiration Date. In case of any uncertainty regarding an Investment Company Event, the good faith determination of the Regular Trustees (based on the advice of counsel) shall be conclusive. On the date fixed for any distribution of Junior Subordinated Debentures, upon dissolution of the Trust, (i) the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities will no longer be deemed to be outstanding and (ii) certificates representing Preferred Securities will be deemed to represent Junior Subordinated Debentures having an aggregate principal amount equal to the stated liquidation amount of, and bearing accrued and unpaid interest equal to accrued and unpaid distributions on, such Preferred Securities until such certificates are presented to SunAmerica or its agent for transfer or reissuance. There can be no assurance as to the market price for the Junior Subordinated Debentures which may be distributed in exchange for Preferred Securities if a dissolution and liquidation of the Trust were to occur. Accordingly, the Junior Subordinated Debentures which the investor may subsequently receive on dissolution and liquidation of the Trust, may trade at a discount to the price of the Preferred Securities exchanged. If the Junior Subordinated Debentures are distributed to the holders of Preferred Securities upon the dissolution of the Trust, SunAmerica will use its best efforts to list the Junior Subordinated Debentures on the NYSE or on such other exchange on which the Preferred Securities are then listed. Mandatory Redemption Upon the repayment of the Junior Subordinated Debentures, whether at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise, the proceeds from such repayment or payment will be promptly applied to redeem Preferred Securities and Common Securities having an aggregate liquidation amount equal to the Junior Subordinated Debentures so repaid, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, at the Redemption Price. The Common Securities will be entitled to be redeemed on a Pro Rata Basis with the Preferred Securities, except that if an Event of Default under the Declaration has occurred and is continuing, the Preferred Securities will have a priority over the Common Securities with respect to payment of the Redemption Price. Subject to the foregoing, if fewer than all outstanding Preferred Securities and Common Securities are to be redeemed, the Preferred Securities and Common Securities will be redeemed on a Pro Rata Basis. In the event fewer than all outstanding Preferred Securities are to be redeemed, Preferred Securities registered in the name of and held by DTC or its nominee will be redeemed pro rata as described under "Book-Entry-Only; Delivery and Form" below. Redemption Procedures The Trust may not redeem fewer than all the outstanding Preferred Securities unless all accrued and unpaid distributions have been paid on all Preferred Securities for all quarterly distribution periods terminating on or prior to the date of redemption. If the Trust gives a notice of redemption in respect of Preferred Securities (which notice will be irrevocable) then immediately prior to the close of business on the redemption date, provided that SunAmerica has paid to the Property Trustee a sufficient amount of cash in connection with the related redemption or maturity of the Junior Subordinated Debentures, distributions will cease to accrue on the Preferred Securities called for redemption, such Preferred Securities shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights of holders of such Preferred Securities so called for redemption will cease, except the right of the holders of such Preferred Securities to receive the Redemption Price, but without interest on such Redemption Price. Neither the Trustees nor the Trust shall be required to register or cause to be registered the transfer of any Preferred Securities which have been so called for redemption. If any date fixed for redemption of Preferred Securities is not a Business Day, then payment of the Redemption Price payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) except that, if such Business Day falls in the next calendar year, such payment will be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on such date fixed for redemption. If SunAmerica fails to repay Junior Subordinated Debentures on maturity or on the date fixed for this redemption or if payment of the Redemption Price in respect of Preferred Securities is improperly withheld or refused and not paid by the Property Trustee or by SunAmerica pursuant to the Preferred Securities Guarantee described under "Description of the Preferred Securities Guarantee", distributions on such Preferred Securities will continue to accrue, from the original redemption date of the Preferred Securities to the date of payment, in which case the actual payment date will be considered the date fixed for redemption for purposes of calculating the Redemption Price. If a partial redemption of the Preferred Securities would result in the delisting of the Preferred Securities by any national securities exchange or other organization on which the Preferred Securities are then listed, SunAmerica pursuant to the Indenture will only redeem Debentures in whole and, as a result, the Trust may only redeem the Preferred Securities in whole. Subject to the foregoing and applicable law (including, without limitation, United States federal securities laws), SunAmerica or any of its subsidiaries may at any time and from time to time purchase outstanding Preferred Securities by tender, in the open market or by private agreement. Liquidation Distribution Upon Dissolution In the event of any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation, winding-up or termination of the Trust, the holders of the Preferred Securities and Common Securities at the date of dissolution, winding-up or termination of the Trust will be entitled to receive on a Pro Rata Basis solely out of the assets of the Trust, after satisfaction of liabilities of creditors (to the extent not satisfied by SunAmerica as provided in the Declaration), an amount equal to the aggregate of the stated liquidation amount of $25 per Trust Security plus accrued and unpaid distributions thereon to the date of payment (such amount being the "Liquidation Distribution"), unless, in connection with such dissolution, liquidation, winding-up or termination, Junior Subordinated Debentures in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate stated liquidation amount of such Trust Securities and bearing accrued and unpaid interest in an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid distributions on such Trust Securities, shall be distributed on a Pro Rata Basis to the holders of the Preferred Securities and Common Securities in exchange therefor. If, upon any such dissolution, the Liquidation Distribution can be paid only in part because the Trust has insufficient assets available to pay in full the aggregate Liquidation Distribution, then the amounts payable directly by the Trust on the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities shall be paid on a Pro Rata Basis. The holders of the Common Securities will be entitled to receive distributions upon any such dissolution on a Pro Rata Basis with the holders of the Preferred Securities, except that if an Event of Default under the Declaration has occurred and is continuing, the Preferred Securities shall have a priority over the Common Securities with respect to payment of the Liquidation Distribution. Pursuant to the Declaration, the Trust shall terminate: (i) on December 31, 2044, (ii) when all of the Trust Securities shall have been called for redemption and the amounts necessary for redemption thereof shall have been paid to the holders of Trust Securities in accordance with the terms of the Trust Securities; or (iii) when all of the Junior Subordinated Debentures shall have been distributed to the holders of Trust Securities in exchange for all of the Trust Securities in accordance with the terms of the Trust Securities. No Merger, Consolidation or Amalgamation of the Trust The Trust may not consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or be replaced by, or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets to, any corporation or other entity. Declaration Events of Default An Indenture Event of Default will constitute an event of default under the Declaration with respect to the Trust Securities (an "Event of Default"), except that an Event of Default with respect to the Preferred Securities shall also include a default by SunAmerica of its payment or other obligations under the Preferred Securities Guarantee; provided that pursuant to the Declaration, the holder of the Common Securities will be deemed to have waived any such Event of Default with respect to the Common Securities until all Events of Default with respect to the Preferred Securities have been cured or waived. Until all such Events of Default with respect to the Preferred Securities have been cured or waived, the Property Trustee will be deemed to be acting solely on behalf of the holders of the Preferred Securities, and only the holders of the Preferred Securities will have the right to direct the Property Trustee with respect to certain matters under the Declaration and consequently under the Indenture. In the event that any Event of Default with respect to the Preferred Securities is waived by the holders of the Preferred Securities as provided in the Declaration, the holders of Common Securities pursuant to the Declaration have agreed that such waiver also constitutes a waiver of such Event of Default with respect to the Common Securities for all purposes under the Declaration without any further act, vote or consent of the holders of the Common Securities. See "Voting Rights". Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Property Trustee as the holder of all of the Junior Subordinated Debentures will have the right under the Indenture to declare the principal of and interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures to be immediately due and payable. In addition, the Property Trustee will have the power to exercise all rights, powers and privileges under the Indenture. See "Description of the Junior Subordinated Debentures". Voting Rights Except as provided below, under "Modification and Amendment of the Declaration" and "Description of the Preferred Securities Guarantee -- Amendments and Assignment" and as otherwise required by the Business Trust Act, the Trust Indenture Act and the Declaration, the holders of the Preferred Securities will have no voting rights. If (i) the Trust fails to make distributions in full on the Preferred Securities for 6 consecutive quarterly distribution periods; (ii) an Event of Default under the Declaration occurs and is continuing; or (iii) SunAmerica is in default on any of its payment or other obligations under the Preferred Securities Guarantee (each, an "Appointment Event"), then the holders of the Preferred Securities, acting as a single class, will be entitled, by the vote of holders of Preferred Securities representing a majority in aggregate liquidation amount of the outstanding Preferred Securities, to appoint a Special Regular Trustee (who need not be an officer or an employee of or otherwise affiliated with SunAmerica) who shall have the same rights, powers and privileges under the Declaration as the Regular Trustees. Any holder of Preferred Securities (other than SunAmerica or any of its Affiliates) shall have the right to nominate any person to be appointed as Special Regular Trustee. For purposes of determining whether the Trust has failed to pay distributions in full for 6 consecutive quarterly distribution periods, distributions shall be deemed to remain in arrears, notwithstanding any payments in respect thereof, until full cumulative distributions have been or contemporaneously are paid with respect to all quarterly distribution periods terminating on or prior to the date of payment of such cumulative distributions. Not later than 30 days after such right to appoint a Special Regular Trustee arises, the Regular Trustees will convene a meeting for the purpose of appointing a Special Regular Trustee. If the Regular Trustees fail to convene such meeting within such 30-day period, the holders of Preferred Securities representing 10% in liquidation amount of the outstanding Preferred Securities will be entitled to convene such meeting. The provisions of the Declaration relating to the convening and conduct of the meetings of the holders will apply with respect to any such meeting. If, at any such meeting, holders of less than a majority in aggregate liquidation amount of Preferred Securities entitled to vote for the appointment of a Special Regular Trustee vote for such appointment, no Special Regular Trustee shall be appointed. Any Special Regular Trustee may be removed without cause at any time by holders of Preferred Securities representing a majority in liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities and holders of Preferred Securities representing 10% in liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities shall be entitled to convene a meeting for such purpose. Any Special Regular Trustee appointed shall cease to be a Special Regular Trustee if the Appointment Event pursuant to which the Special Regular Trustee was appointed and all other Appointment Events have been cured and cease to be continuing. Notwithstanding the appointment of any such Special Regular Trustee, SunAmerica shall retain all rights under the Indenture, including the right to extend the interest payment period as provided under "Description of the Junior Subordinated Debentures -- Option to Extend Interest Payment Period." If such an extension occurs, there will be no Indenture Event of Default for failure to make any scheduled interest payment during the Extension Period on the date originally scheduled. Subject to the requirements of the second to last sentence of this paragraph, the holders of a majority in aggregate liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities have the right (i) on behalf of all holders of Trust Securities, to waive any past default that is waivable under the Declaration and (ii) to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Property Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Property Trustee under the Declaration, including the right to direct the Property Trustee, as the holder of the Junior Subordinated Debentures, to (i) direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee, or executing any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Junior Subordinated Debentures, (ii) waive any past default that is waivable under Section 6.06 of the Indenture, or (iii) exercise any right to rescind or annul a declaration that the principal of all the Junior Subordinated Debentures shall be due and payable or (iv) consent to any amendment, modification or termination of the Indenture or the Junior Subordinated Debentures, where such consent shall be required; provided that where a consent under the Indenture would require the consent of (1) holders of Junior Subordinated Debentures representing a specified percentage greater than a majority in principal amount of the Junior Subordinated Debentures (a "Specified Percentage") or (2) each holder of Junior Subordinated Debentures affected thereby, no such consent shall be given by the Property Trustee without the prior consent of, in the case of clause (1) above, holders of Preferred Securities representing such Specified Percentage of the aggregate liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities or, in the case of clause (2) above, each holder of all Preferred Securities affected thereby. The Property Trustee shall not revoke any action previously authorized or approved by a vote of the holders of Preferred Securities. The Property Trustee shall notify all holders of record of Preferred Securities of any notice of default received from the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Junior Subordinated Debentures. Other than with respect to directing the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Property Trustee or the Indenture Trustee as set forth above, the Property Trustee shall be under no obligation to take any of the foregoing actions at the direction of the holders of the Preferred Securities unless the Property Trustee shall have obtained an opinion of nationally recognized independent tax counsel recognized as expert in such matters to the effect that the Trust will not be classified for United States federal income tax purposes as an association taxable as a corporation or a partnership on account of such action and will be treated as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes following such action. If the Property Trustee fails to enforce its rights under the Declaration (including, without limitation, its rights, powers and privileges as a holder of the Debentures under the Indenture), any Holder of Preferred Securities may, after a period of 30 days has elapsed from such Holder's written request to the Property Trustee to enforce such rights, institute a legal proceeding directly against SunAmerica to enforce the Property Trustee's rights under the Declaration, without first instituting a legal proceeding against the Property Trustee or any other Person. A waiver of an Indenture Event of Default will constitute a waiver of the corresponding Event of Default under the Declaration in respect of the Trust Securities. Any required approval or direction of holders of Preferred Securities may be given at a separate meeting of holders of Preferred Securities convened for such purpose, at a meeting of all of the holders of Trust Securities or pursuant to written consent. The Regular Trustees will cause a notice of any meeting at which holders of Preferred Securities are entitled to vote, or of any matter upon which action by written consent of such holders is to be taken, to be mailed to each holder of record of Preferred Securities. Each such notice will include a statement setting forth (i) the date of such meeting or the date by which such action is to be taken, (ii) a description of any resolution proposed for adoption at such meeting on which such holders are entitled to vote or of such matter upon which written consent is sought and (iii) instructions for the delivery of proxies or consents. No vote or consent of the holders of Preferred Securities will be required for the Trust to redeem and cancel Preferred Securities or distribute Junior Subordinated Debentures in accordance with the Declaration. Notwithstanding that holders of Preferred Securities are entitled to vote or consent under any of the circumstances described above, any of the Preferred Securities at such time that are owned by SunAmerica or by any entity directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with SunAmerica shall not be entitled to vote or consent and shall, for purposes of such vote or consent, be treated as if they were not outstanding. The procedures by which persons owning Preferred Securities registered in the name of and held by DTC or its nominee may exercise their voting rights are described under "Book-Entry; Delivery and Form" below. Subject to the right of holders of Preferred Securities to appoint a Special Regular Trustee upon the occurrence of an Appointment Event, holders of the Preferred Securities will have no rights to increase or decrease the number of Trustees or to appoint, remove or replace a Trustee, which rights are vested exclusively in the holders of the Common Securities. Modification and Amendment of the Declaration The Declaration may be modified and amended on approval of a majority of the Regular Trustees, provided, that, (i) if any proposed modification or amendment provides for, or the Regular Trustees otherwise propose to effect, (A) any action that would adversely affect the powers, preferences or special rights of the Trust Securities, whether by way of amendment to the Declaration or otherwise, or (B) the dissolution, winding-up or termination of the Trust other than pursuant to the terms of the Declaration, then the holders of the outstanding Trust Securities as a class will be entitled to vote on such amendment or proposal and such amendment or proposal shall not be effective except with the approval of at least 66 2/3% in liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities, provided that if any amendment or proposal referred to in clause (i) above would adversely affect only the Preferred Securities or the Common Securities, then only the affected class will be entitled to vote on such amendment or proposal and such amendment or proposal shall not be effective except with the approval of 66-2/3% in liquidation amount of such class of Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no amendment or modification may be made to the Declaration unless the Regular Trustees shall have obtained (A) either a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or a written unqualified opinion of nationally recognized independent tax counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that such amendment will not cause the Trust to be classified for United States federal income tax purposes as an association taxable as a corporation or a partnership and to the effect that the Trust will continue to be treated as a grantor trust for purposes of United States federal income taxation and (B) a written unqualified opinion of nationally recognized independent counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that such amendment will not cause the Trust to be an "investment company" which is required to be registered under the 1940 Act; (ii) certain specified provisions of the Declaration may not be amended without the consent of all of the Holders of the Trust Securities, (iii) no amendment which adversely affects the rights, powers and privileges of the Property Trustee shall be made without the consent of the Property Trustee, (iv) Article IV of the Declaration relating to the obligation of SunAmerica to purchase the Common Securities and to pay certain obligations and expenses of the Trust as described under "SunAmerica Capital Trust I" may not be amended without the consent of SunAmerica, (v) the rights of Holders of Common Securities under Article V of the Declaration to increase or decrease the number of, and to appoint, replace or remove, Trustees (other than a Special Regular Trustee) shall not be amended without the consent of each Holder of Common Securities and (vi) the rights of Holders of Preferred Securities under the Declaration to appoint or remove a Special Regular Trustee shall not be amended without the consent of each Holder of Preferred Securities. The Declaration further provides that it may be amended without the consent of the Holders of the Securities to (i) cure any ambiguity, (ii) correct or supplement any provision in this Declaration that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision of this Declaration, (iii) to add to the covenants, restrictions or obligations of SunAmerica, and (iv) to conform to changes in, or a change in interpretation or application of certain 1940 Act requirements by the Commission, which amendment does not adversely affect the rights, preferences or privileges of the Holders. Book-Entry; Delivery and Form Preferred Securities will be issued in fully registered form. Investors may elect to hold their Preferred Securities directly or, subject to the rules and procedures of DTC described below, hold interests in a global certificate (the "Preferred Securities Global Certificate") registered in the name of DTC or its nominee. However, tendering holders of Series B Preferred held in global form shall initially receive an interest in the Preferred Securities Global Certificate and tendering holders of Series B Preferred held directly in certificated form shall initially receive Preferred Securities in certificated form, in each case unless otherwise specified in the Letter of Transmittal. See "The Offer - Procedures for Tendering". The laws of some jurisdictions require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of securities in definitive form. Such laws may impair the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a global Preferred Security. DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Exchange Act. DTC holds securities that its participants ("Participants") deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement among Participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry changes in Participants' accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations ("Direct Participants"). DTC is owned by a number of its Direct Participants and by the NYSE, the American Stock Exchange, Inc., and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as securities brokers and dealers, banks and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly ("Indirect Participants"). The rules applicable to DTC and its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Upon issuance of a Preferred Securities Global Certificate, DTC will credit on its book-entry registration and transfer system the number of Preferred Securities represented by such Preferred Securities Global Certificate to the accounts of institutions that have accounts with DTC. Ownership of beneficial interests in a Preferred Securities Global Certificate will be limited to Participants or persons that may hold interests through Participants. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Preferred Security ("Beneficial Owner") is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchases, but Beneficial Owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transactions, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participants through which the Beneficial Owners purchased Preferred Securities. Transfers of ownership interests in the Preferred Securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Preferred Securities; DTC's records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Preferred Securities are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. So long as DTC, or its nominee, is the owner of a Preferred Securities Global Certificate, DTC or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner and holder of record of the Preferred Securities represented by such Preferred Securities Global Certificate for all purposes. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Redemption notices shall be sent to Cede & Co. If less than all of the Preferred Securities are being redeemed, DTC will reduce pro rata (subject to adjustment to eliminate fractional Preferred Securities) the amount of interest of each Direct Participant in the Preferred Securities to be redeemed. Although voting with respect to the Preferred Securities is limited, in those instances in which a vote is required, neither DTC nor Cede & Co. itself will consent or vote with respect to Preferred Securities. Under its usual procedures, DTC would mail an Omnibus Proxy to the Trust as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts the Preferred Securities are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy). Distribution payments on the Preferred Securities represented by a Preferred Series Global Certificate will be made by the Property Trustee to DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts on the relevant payment date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records unless DTC has reason to believe that it will not receive payments on such payment date. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices and will be the responsibility of such Participants and not of DTC, the Trust or SunAmerica, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of distributions to DTC is the responsibility of the Trust, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants is the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners is the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants. DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the Preferred Securities at any time by giving reasonable notice to the Trust. Under such circumstances, if a successor securities depository is not obtained, Preferred Security certificates will be required to be printed and delivered. Additionally, the Trust may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC (or a successor depository). In that event, certificates for the Preferred Securities will be printed and delivered. The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC's book-entry system has been obtained from sources that the Trust and SunAmerica believe to be reliable, but the Trust and SunAmerica take no responsibility for the accuracy thereof. Registrar, Transfer Agent and Paying Agent Payment of distributions and payments on redemption of the Preferred Securities will be payable, the transfer of the Preferred Securities will be registrable, and Preferred Securities will be exchangeable for Preferred Securities of other denominations of a like aggregate liquidation amount, at the principal corporate trust office of the Property Trustee in The City of New York; provided that payment of distributions may be made at the option of the Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust by check mailed to the address of the persons entitled thereto and that the payment on redemption of any Preferred Security will be made only upon surrender of such Preferred Security to the Property Trustee. The Bank of New York or one of its affiliates will act as registrar and transfer agent for the Preferred Securities. The Bank of New York will also act as paying agent and, with the consent of the Regular Trustees, may designate additional paying agents. Registration of transfers of Preferred Securities will be effected without charge by or on behalf of the Trust, but upon payment (with the giving of such indemnity as the Trust or SunAmerica may require) in respect of any tax or other governmental charges that may be imposed in relation to it. The Trust will not be required to register or cause to be registered the transfer of Preferred Securities after such Preferred Securities have been called for redemption. Information Concerning the Property Trustee The Property Trustee, prior to a default with respect to the Trust Securities, undertakes to perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in the Declaration and, after default, shall exercise the same degree of care as a prudent individual would exercise in the conduct of his or her own affairs. Subject to such provision, the Property Trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of the powers vested in it by the Declaration at the request of any holder of Preferred Securities, unless offered reasonable indemnity by such holder against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred thereby. The Property Trustee is not required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of its duties if the Property Trustee reasonably believes that repayment or adequate indemnity is not reasonably assured to it. SunAmerica and certain of its affiliates maintain a deposit account and banking relationship with the Property Trustee. Governing Law The Declaration and the Preferred Securities will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Delaware. Miscellaneous The Preferred Securities have been approved for listing on the NYSE, subject to notice of issuance. The Regular Trustees are authorized and directed to take such action as they deem reasonable in order that the Trust will not be deemed to be an "investment company" required to be registered under the 1940 Act or that the Trust will not be classified for United States federal income tax purposes as an association taxable as a corporation or a partnership and will be treated as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes. In this connection, the Regular Trustees are authorized to take any action, not inconsistent with applicable law, the certificate of trust or the Declaration, that the Regular Trustees determine in their discretion to be reasonable and necessary or desirable for such purposes, as long as such action does not adversely affect the interests of holders of the Trust Securities. SunAmerica and the Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust will be required to provide to the Property Trustee annually a certificate as to whether or not SunAmerica and the Trust, respectively, is in compliance with all the conditions and covenants under the Declaration. DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED SECURITIES GUARANTEE Set forth below is a summary of information concerning the Preferred Securities Guarantee that will be executed and delivered by SunAmerica for the benefit of the holders from time to time of Preferred Securities. The summary does not purport to be complete and is subject in all respects to the provisions of, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Preferred Securities Guarantee, which is filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this Offering Circular/Prospectus forms a part. General Pursuant to the Preferred Securities Guarantee, SunAmerica will irrevocably and unconditionally agree, to the extent set forth therein, to pay in full, to the holders of the Preferred Securities, the Guarantee Payments (as defined below) (without duplication of amounts theretofore paid by the Trust), to the extent not paid by the Trust, regardless of any defense, right of set-off or counterclaim that the Trust may have or assert. The following payments or distributions with respect to the Preferred Securities to the extent not paid or made by the Trust (the "Guarantee Payments") will be subject to the Guarantee (without duplication): (i) any accrued and unpaid distributions on the Preferred Securities and the redemption price, including all accrued and unpaid distributions to the date of the redemption, with respect to the Preferred Securities called for redemption by the Trust but if and only to the extent that in each case SunAmerica has made a payment to the Property Trustee of interest or principal on the Junior Subordinated Debentures and (ii) upon a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, winding-up or termination of the Trust (other than in connection with the distribution of Junior Subordinated Debentures to holders of Preferred Securities or the redemption of all of the Preferred Securities upon the maturity or redemption of the Junior Subordinated Debentures), the lesser of (a) the aggregate of the liquidation amount and all accrued and unpaid distributions on the Preferred Securities to the date of payment, to the extent the Trust has funds available therefor, and (b) the amount of assets of the Trust remaining available for distribution to holders of Preferred Securities in liquidation of the Trust. SunAmerica's obligation to make a Guarantee Payment may be satisfied by direct payment of the required amounts by SunAmerica to the holders of Preferred Securities or by causing the Trust to pay such amounts to such holders. Certain Covenants of SunAmerica In the Preferred Securities Guarantee, SunAmerica will covenant that, so long as the Preferred Securities remain outstanding, SunAmerica will not declare or pay any dividends on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a distribution or liquidation payment with respect to, any of its common stock or preferred stock or make any guarantee payment with respect thereto if at such time (i) SunAmerica shall be in default with respect to its Guarantee Payments or other payment obligations under the Preferred Securities Guarantee, (ii) there shall have occurred any Event of Default under the Declaration or (iii) SunAmerica shall have given notice of its selection of an Extension Period as provided in the Indenture and such period, or any extension thereof, is continuing; provided that SunAmerica will be permitted to pay accrued dividends (and cash in lieu of fractional shares) upon the conversion of any of its Series D Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms of such stock. In addition, so long as the Preferred Securities remain outstanding, SunAmerica has agreed (i) to remain the sole direct or indirect owner of all of the outstanding Common Securities and shall not cause or permit the Common Securities to be transferred except to the extent permitted by the Declaration; provided that any permitted successor of SunAmerica under the Indenture may succeed to SunAmerica's ownership of the Common Securities and (ii) to use reasonable efforts to cause the Trust to continue to be treated as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes except in connection with a distribution of Junior Subordinated Debentures. Amendments and Assignment Except with respect to any changes that do not adversely affect the rights of holders of Preferred Securities (in which case no consent will be required), the Preferred Securities Guarantee may be amended only with the prior approval of the holders of not less than 66 2/3% in liquidation amount of the outstanding Preferred Securities. The manner of obtaining any such approval of holders of the Preferred Securities will be as set forth under "Description of the Preferred Securities -- Voting Rights". All guarantees and agreements contained in the Preferred Securities Guarantee shall bind the successors, assigns, receivers, trustees and representatives of SunAmerica and shall inure to the benefit of the holders of the Preferred Securities then outstanding. Except in connection with a consolidation, merger or sale involving SunAmerica that is permitted under the Indenture, SunAmerica may not assign its obligations under the Preferred Securities Guarantee. Termination of the Preferred Securities Guarantee The Preferred Securities Guarantee will terminate and be of no further force and effect as to the Preferred Securities upon full payment of the Redemption Price of all Preferred Securities, or upon distribution of the Junior Subordinated Debentures to the holders of Preferred Securities in exchange for all of the Preferred Securities, or upon full payment of the amounts payable upon liquidation of the Trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Preferred Securities Guarantee will continue to be effective or will be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any holder of Preferred Securities must restore payment of any sums paid with respect to the Preferred Securities or the Preferred Securities Guarantee. Status of the Preferred Securities Guarantee SunAmerica's obligations under the Preferred Securities Guarantee to make the Guarantee Payments will constitute an unsecured obligation of SunAmerica and will rank (i) subordinate and junior in right of payment to all other liabilities of SunAmerica, including the Junior Subordinated Debentures, except those made pari passu or subordinate by their terms, and (ii) senior to all capital stock now or hereafter issued by SunAmerica and to any guarantee now or hereafter entered into by SunAmerica in respect of any of its capital stock. Because SunAmerica is a holding company, SunAmerica's obligations under the Preferred Securities Guarantee are also effectively subordinated to all existing and future liabilities, including trade payables, of SunAmerica's subsidiaries, except to the extent that SunAmerica is a creditor of the subsidiaries recognized as such. The Declaration provides that each holder of Preferred Securities by acceptance thereof agrees to the subordination provisions and other terms of the Preferred Securities Guarantee. The Preferred Securities Guarantee will constitute a guarantee of payment and not of collection (that is, the guaranteed party may institute a legal proceeding directly against the guarantor to enforce its rights under the guarantee without first instituting a legal proceeding against any other person or entity). The Preferred Securities Guarantee will be deposited with the Property Trustee to be held for the benefit of the holders of the Preferred Securities. The Property Trustee shall enforce the Preferred Securities Guarantee on behalf of the holders of the Preferred Securities. The holders of not less than a majority in aggregate liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available in respect of the Preferred Securities Guarantee, including the giving of directions to the Property Trustee. If the Property Trustee fails to enforce the Preferred Securities Guarantee as above provided, any holder of Preferred Securities may, after a period of 30 days has elapsed from such holder's written request to the Property Trustee to enforce the Preferred Securities Guarantee, institute a legal proceeding directly against SunAmerica to enforce its rights under the Preferred Securities Guarantee, without first instituting a legal proceeding against the Trust or any other person or entity. Governing Law The Preferred Securities Guarantee will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. DESCRIPTION OF THE JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES Set forth below is a description of the Junior Subordinated Debentures which will be deposited in the Trust as trust assets. The terms of the Junior Subordinated Debentures include those stated in the Indenture dated March 15, 1995 between SunAmerica and The First National Bank of Chicago, as trustee (the "Indenture Trustee") as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated March 15, 1995 between SunAmerica and the Indenture Trustee (as so supplemented, the "Indenture"), forms of which have been filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement of which this Offering Circular/Prospectus forms a part, and those made part of the Indenture by the Trust Indenture Act. The following description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act. Whenever particular provisions or defined terms in the Indenture are referred to herein, such provisions or defined terms are incorporated by reference herein. Section and Article references used herein are references to provisions of the Indenture. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of indebtedness which may be issued thereunder and provides that junior subordinated debentures may be issued thereunder from time to time in one or more series (collectively, together with the Junior Subordinated Debentures, the "Subordinated Debentures"). The Junior Subordinated Debentures constitute a separate series under the Indenture. Under certain circumstances involving the dissolution of the Trust following the occurrence of a Special Event, Junior Subordinated Debentures may be distributed to the holders of the Trust Securities in liquidation of the Trust. See "Description of the Preferred Securities -- Special Event Redemption or Distribution". General The Junior Subordinated Debentures are unsecured, subordinated obligations of SunAmerica, limited in aggregate principal amount to an amount equal to the sum of (i) the stated liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities issued by the Trust in the Offer and (ii) the proceeds received by the Trust upon issuance of the Common Securities to SunAmerica (which proceeds will be used to purchase an equal principal amount of Junior Subordinated Debentures). The entire principal amount of the Junior Subordinated Debentures will become due and payable, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, on , 2044. The Junior Subordinated Debentures are not subject to any sinking fund. If Junior Subordinated Debentures are distributed to holders of Preferred Securities in dissolution of the Trust, such Junior Subordinated Debentures will be so issued in certificated form in denominations of $25 and integral multiples thereof and may be transferred or exchanged at the offices described below. Payments of principal and interest on Junior Subordinated Debentures will be payable, the transfer of the Junior Subordinated Debentures will be registrable, and Junior Subordinated Debentures will be exchangeable for Junior Subordinated Debentures of other denominations of a like aggregate principal amount, at the corporate trust office of the Indenture Trustee in The City of New York; provided that payment of interest may be made at the option of SunAmerica by check mailed to the address of the persons entitled thereto and that the payment of principal with respect to any Junior Subordinated Debenture will be made only upon surrender of such Junior Subordinated Debenture to the Indenture Trustee. If the Junior Subordinated Debentures are distributed to the holders of Preferred Securities upon the dissolution of the Trust, SunAmerica will use its best efforts to list the Junior Subordinated Debentures on the NYSE or on such other exchange on which the Preferred Securities are then listed. Optional Redemption Except as provided below, the Junior Subordinated Debentures may not be redeemed prior to June 15, 1997. SunAmerica shall have the right to redeem the Junior Subordinated Debentures, in whole or in part, from time to time, on or after June 15, 1997, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, to the redemption date, including interest accrued during an Extension Period. SunAmerica will also have the right to redeem the Junior Subordinated Debentures at any time upon the occurrence of a Tax Event if certain conditions are met as described under "Description of the Preferred Securities -- Special Event Redemption or Distribution". If SunAmerica gives a notice of redemption in respect of Junior Subordinated Debentures (which notice will be irrevocable) then, by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the redemption date, SunAmerica will deposit irrevocably with the Indenture Trustee funds sufficient to pay the applicable redemption price and will give irrevocable instructions and authority to pay such redemption price to the holders of the Junior Subordinated Debentures. If notice of redemption shall have been given and funds deposited as required, then upon the date of such deposit, interest will cease to accrue on the Junior Subordinated Debentures called for redemption, such Junior Subordinated Debentures will no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights of holders of such Junior Subordinated Debentures so called for redemption will cease, except the right of the holders of such Junior Subordinated Debentures to receive the applicable redemption price, but without interest on such redemption price. If any date fixed for redemption of Junior Subordinated Debentures is not a Business Day, then payment of the redemption price payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) except that, if such Business Day falls in the next calendar year, such payment will be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on such date fixed for redemption. If payment of the redemption price in respect of Junior Subordinated Debentures is improperly withheld or refused and not paid by SunAmerica, interest on such Junior Subordinated Debentures will continue to accrue, from the original redemption date to the date of payment, in which case the actual payment date will be considered the date fixed for redemption for purposes of calculating the applicable redemption price. If fewer than all of the Junior Subordinated Debentures are to be redeemed, the Junior Subordinated Debentures to be redeemed shall be selected by lot or pro rata or in some other equitable manner determined by the Indenture Trustee. In the event of any redemption in part, SunAmerica shall not be required to (i) issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Junior Subordinated Debentures during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any selection for redemption of Junior Subordinated Debentures and ending at the close of business on the earliest date in which the relevant notice of redemption is deemed to have been given to all holders of Junior Subordinated Debentures to be redeemed and (ii) register the transfer of or exchange any Junior Subordinated Debentures so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Junior Subordinated Debentures being redeemed in part. (Section 2.05). Interest The Junior Subordinated Debentures will bear interest at an annual rate of % from the Accrual Date. In addition, holders of the Junior Subordinated Debentures will be entitled to interest ("Pre-issuance Accrued Interest") at the rate of 9 1/4% per annum of the principal amount thereof from March 15, 1995 through the Expiration Date, payable at the time of the first interest payment on the Junior Subordinated Debentures. Interest will be payable quarterly in arrears on March 30, June 30, September 30 and December 30 of each year (each, an "Interest Payment Date"), commencing on June 30, 1995, to the person in whose name such Junior Subordinated Debenture is registered, subject to certain exceptions, at the close of business on the March 15, June 15, September 15 or December 15 next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Interest payable on any Junior Subordinated Debenture that is not punctually paid or duly provided for on any interest payment date will forthwith cease to be payable to the person in whose name such Junior Subordinated Debenture is registered on the relevant record date, and such defaulted interest will instead be payable to the person in whose name such Junior Subordinated Debenture is registered on the special record date or other specified date determined in accordance with the Indenture; provided, however, that interest shall not be considered payable by SunAmerica on any interest payment date falling within an Extension Period unless SunAmerica has elected to make a full or partial payment of interest accrued on the Junior Subordinated Debentures on such interest payment date. The amount of interest payable for any period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and for any period shorter than a full quarterly period for which interest is computed, the amount of interest payable will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in such a 30-day month. If any date on which interest is payable on the Junior Subordinated Debentures is not a Business Day, then payment of the interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay), except that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on such date. Option to Extend Interest Payment Period So long as SunAmerica shall not be in default in the payment of interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures, SunAmerica shall have the right to extend the interest payment period from time to time for a period not exceeding 20 consecutive quarterly interest periods. SunAmerica has no current intention of exercising its right to extend an interest payment period. No extension of interest will be permitted with respect to interest accruing from March 15, 1995 through the Expiration Date. No interest shall be due and payable during an Extension Period, except at the end thereof. During any Extension Period, SunAmerica shall not declare or pay any dividends on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a distribution or liquidation payment with respect to, any of its common stock or preferred stock or make any guarantee payments with respect thereto; provided that SunAmerica will be permitted to pay accrued dividends (and cash in lieu of fractional shares) upon the conversion of any of its Series D Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms of such stock. Prior to the termination of any such Extension Period, SunAmerica may further extend the interest payment period; provided that such Extension Period together with all such previous and further extensions thereof may not exceed 20 consecutive quarterly interest periods. On the interest payment date occurring at the end of each Extension Period, SunAmerica shall pay to the holders of Junior Subordinated Debentures of record on the record date for such interest payment date (regardless of who the holders of record may have been on other dates during the Extension Period) all accrued and unpaid interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures, together with interest thereon at the rate specified for the Junior Subordinated Debentures to the extent permitted by applicable law, compounded quarterly ("Compounded Interest"). Upon the termination of any Extension Period and the payment of all amounts then due, SunAmerica may commence a new Extension Period, subject to the above requirements. SunAmerica may also prepay at any time all or any portion of the interest accrued during an Extension Period. Consequently, there could be multiple Extension Periods of varying lengths (up to nine Extension Periods of 20 consecutive quarterly interest periods each or more numerous shorter Extension Periods) throughout the term of the Junior Subordinated Debentures. The failure by SunAmerica to make interest payments during an Extension Period would not constitute a default or an event of default under the Indenture or SunAmerica's currently outstanding indebtedness. If the Property Trustee shall be the sole holder of the Junior Subordinated Debentures, SunAmerica shall give the Property Trustee notice of its selection of such Extension Period one Business Day prior to the earlier of (i) the date the distributions on the Preferred Securities are payable or (ii) the date the Trust is required to give notice to the NYSE or other applicable self-regulatory organization or to holders of the Preferred Securities of the record date or the date such distribution is payable, but in any event not less than one Business Day prior to such record date. The Trust shall give notice of SunAmerica's selection of such Extension Period to the holders of the Preferred Securities. If Junior Subordinated Debentures have been distributed to holders of Trust Securities, SunAmerica shall give the holders of the Junior Subordinated Debentures notice of its selection of such Extension Period ten Business Days prior to the earlier of (i) the next succeeding interest payment date or (ii) the date SunAmerica is required to give notice to the NYSE (if the Junior Subordinated Debentures are then listed thereon) or other applicable self-regulatory organization or to holders of the Junior Subordinated Debentures of the record or payment date of such related interest payment, but in any event not less than two Business Days prior to such record date. Compounded Interest Payments of Compounded Interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures held by the Trust will make funds available to pay any interest on distributions in arrears in respect of the Preferred Securities pursuant to the terms thereof. Certain Covenants of SunAmerica Applicable to the Junior Subordinated Debentures In the Indenture, SunAmerica will covenant that, so long as the Preferred Securities remain outstanding, SunAmerica will not declare or pay any dividends on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a distribution or liquidation payment with respect to, any of its common stock or preferred stock or make any guarantee payment with respect thereto if at such time (i) SunAmerica shall be in default with respect to its Guarantee Payments or other payment obligations under the Preferred Securities Guarantee, (ii) there shall have occurred any Indenture Event of Default with respect to the Junior Subordinated Debentures or (iii) SunAmerica shall have given notice of its selection of an Extension Period as provided in the Indenture and such period, or any extension thereof, is continuing; provided that SunAmerica will be permitted to pay accrued dividends (and cash in lieu of fractional shares) upon the conversion of any of its Series D Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms of such stock. In addition, so long as the Preferred Securities remain outstanding, SunAmerica has agreed (i) to remain the sole direct or indirect owner of all of the outstanding Common Securities and shall not cause or permit the Common Securities to be transferred except to the extent permitted by the Declaration; provided that any permitted successor of SunAmerica under the Indenture may succeed to SunAmerica's ownership of the Common Securities, (ii) to comply fully with all of its obligations and agreements contained in the Declaration and (iii) not to take any action which would cause the Trust to cease to be treated as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes except in connection with a distribution of Junior Subordinated Debentures. Subordination The Indenture provides that the Subordinated Debentures are subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Senior Indebtedness of SunAmerica. In the event (a) of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, or any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceedings in respect of SunAmerica or its property or any proceeding for voluntary liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of SunAmerica, or (b) that Subordinated Debentures of any series are declared due and payable before their expressed maturity because of the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.01 of the Indenture (under circumstances other than as set forth in clause (a) above), then the holders of all Senior Indebtedness shall first be entitled to receive payment of the full amount due thereon in money, before the holders of any of the Subordinated Debentures are entitled to receive a payment on account of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the indebtedness evidenced by such Subordinated Debentures. In the event and during the continuation of any default in payment of any Senior Indebtedness or if any event of default shall exist under any Senior Indebtedness, as "event of default" is defined therein or in the agreement under which the same is outstanding, no payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Subordinated Debentures shall be made. (Section 14.02) The term "Senior Indebtedness" shall mean the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on (a) all indebtedness of SunAmerica, whether outstanding on the date of the Indenture or thereafter created, (i) for money borrowed by SunAmerica (including, without limitation, indebtedness issued or to be issued pursuant to the Indenture dated as of April 15, 1993 between SunAmerica and The First National Bank of Chicago, as Trustee), (ii) for money borrowed by, or obligations of, others and either assumed or guaranteed, directly or indirectly, by SunAmerica, (iii) in respect of letters of credit and acceptances issued or made by banks, or (iv) constituting purchase money indebtedness, or indebtedness secured by property included in the property, plant and equipment accounts of SunAmerica at the time of the acquisition of such property by SunAmerica, for the payment of which SunAmerica is directly liable, and (b) all deferrals, renewals, extensions and refundings of, and amendments, modifications and supplements to, any such indebtedness. As used in the preceding sentence the term "purchase money indebtedness" means indebtedness evidenced by a note, debenture, bond or other instrument (whether or not secured by any lien or other security interest) issued or assumed as all or a part of the consideration for the acquisition of property, whether by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, unless by its terms such indebtedness is subordinate to other indebtedness of SunAmerica. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Subordinated Debentures, Senior Indebtedness shall not include (i) any indebtedness of SunAmerica which, by its terms or the terms of the instrument creating or evidencing it, is subordinate in right of payment to or pari passu with the Subordinated Debentures, as the case may be, and, in particular, the Subordinated Debentures shall rank pari passu with respect to all other debt securities and guarantees in respect thereof issued to any other trusts, partnerships or other entity affiliated with SunAmerica which is a financing vehicle of SunAmerica in connection with the issuance of preferred securities by such financing vehicle, or (ii) any indebtedness of SunAmerica to a subsidiary of SunAmerica. (Section 1.01) The Indenture does not limit the aggregate amount of indebtedness, including Senior Indebtedness, that may be issued. As of December 31, 1994, Senior Indebtedness of SunAmerica (on an unconsolidated basis) aggregated approximately $472.8 million all of which is unsecured. Because SunAmerica is a holding company, the Junior Subordinated Debentures are also effectively subordinated to all existing and future liabilities, including trade payables, of SunAmerica's subsidiaries, except to the extent that SunAmerica is a creditor of the subsidiaries recognized as such. Claims on SunAmerica's subsidiaries by creditors other than SunAmerica include substantial claims for policy benefits, as well as other liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business. At December 31, 1994, SunAmerica's subsidiaries had outstanding approximately $8.47 billion of liabilities (excluding variable annuity liabilities, with respect to which assets are segregated in separate accounts). In addition, since many of SunAmerica's subsidiaries are insurance companies subject to regulatory control by various state insurance departments, the ability of such subsidiaries to pay dividends or make loans or advances to SunAmerica without prior regulatory approval is limited by applicable laws and regulations. There are no terms in the Preferred Securities, the Junior Subordinated Debentures or the Preferred Securities Guarantee that limit SunAmerica's ability to incur additional indebtedness, including indebtedness that ranks senior to or pari passu with the Junior Subordinated Debentures and the Preferred Securities Guarantee, or the ability of its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness. See "Description of the Preferred Securities Guarantee -- Status of the Preferred Securities Guarantee". Indenture Events of Default The Indenture provides that any one or more of the following described events, which has occurred and is continuing, constitutes an "Indenture Event of Default" with respect to a series of Subordinated Debentures: (a) failure for 30 days to pay interest on the Subordinated Debentures of such series when due; provided that a valid extension of the interest payment period by SunAmerica shall not constitute a default in the payment of interest for this purpose; or (b) failure to pay principal of or premium, if any, on the Subordinated Debentures of such series when due whether at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or otherwise; or (c) failure to observe or perform any other covenant contained in the Indenture with respect to such series for 90 days after written notice to SunAmerica from the Indenture Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Subordinated Debentures of such series; or (d) certain events in bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of SunAmerica. In each and every such case, unless the principal of all the Subordinated Debentures of that series shall have already become due and payable, either the Indenture Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Subordinated Debentures of that series then outstanding, by notice in writing to SunAmerica (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by such holders), may declare the principal of all the Subordinated Debentures of that series to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable. (Section 6.01). The holders of a majority in aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Subordinated Debentures of that series have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee. (Section 6.06). The Indenture Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Subordinated Debentures of that series may declare the principal due and payable immediately upon an Event of Default with respect to such series, but the holders of a majority in aggregate outstanding principal amount of Subordinated Debentures of such series may annul such declaration and waive the default if the default has been cured and a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest and principal otherwise than by acceleration and any premium has been deposited with the Indenture Trustee. (Sections 6.01 and 6.06). The holders of a majority in aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Subordinated Debentures of that series may, on behalf of the holders of all the Subordinated Debentures of that series, waive any past default, except a default in the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest (unless such default has been cured and a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest and principal otherwise than by acceleration and any premium has been deposited with the Indenture Trustee) or a call for redemption of Junior Subordinated Debentures. (Section 6.06). SunAmerica is required to file annually with the Indenture Trustee a certificate as to whether or not SunAmerica is in compliance with all the conditions and covenants under the Indenture. An Indenture Event of Default also constitutes an Event of Default under the Declaration. See "Description of the Preferred Securities -- Declaration Events of Default". Modification of the Indenture The Indenture contains provisions permitting SunAmerica and the Indenture Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Subordinated Debentures of each series affected, to modify the Indenture or any supplemental indenture affecting the rights of the holders of such Subordinated Debentures; provided, that no such modification may, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding Subordinated Debenture affected thereby, (i) extend the fixed maturity of any Subordinated Debentures of any series, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, without the consent of the holder of each Subordinated Debenture so affected or (ii) reduce the percentage of Subordinated Debentures, the holders of which are required to consent to any such modification, without the consent of the holders of each Subordinated Debenture then outstanding and affected thereby. (Section 9.02). Book-Entry and Settlement If any Junior Subordinated Debentures are distributed to holders of Preferred Securities (see "Description of the Preferred Securities"), such Junior Subordinated Debentures will be issued in fully registered form. In such event, investors may elect to hold their Junior Subordinated Debentures directly or, subject to the rules and procedures of DTC, hold interests in a global certificate registered in the name of DTC or its nominee. For a description of DTC and DTC's book-entry system, see "Description of the Preferred Securities -- Book-Entry; Delivery and Form". As of the date of this Offering Circular/Prospectus, the description herein of DTC's book-entry system and DTC's practices as they relate to purchases, transfers, notices and payments with respect to the Preferred Securities apply in all material respects to any Junior Subordinated Debentures registered in the name of and held by DTC or its nominee. Consolidation, Merger and Sale The Indenture will provide that SunAmerica may not consolidate with or merge into any other person or transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any person and may not permit any person to merge into or consolidate with SunAmerica unless (i) either SunAmerica will be the resulting or surviving entity or any successor or purchaser is a corporation organized under the laws of the United States of America, any State or the District of Columbia, and any such successor or purchaser expressly assumes SunAmerica's obligations under the Indenture and (ii) immediately after giving effect to the transaction no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Defeasance and Discharge Under the terms of the Indenture, SunAmerica will be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of the Junior Subordinated Debentures (except in each case for certain obligations to register the transfer or exchange of Junior Subordinated Debentures, replace stolen, lost or mutilated Junior Subordinated Debentures, maintain paying agencies and hold moneys for payment in trust) if (i) SunAmerica irrevocably deposits with the Indenture Trustee cash or U.S. Government Obligations, as trust funds in an amount certified to be sufficient to pay at maturity (or upon redemption) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all outstanding Junior Subordinated Debentures; (ii) SunAmerica delivers to the Indenture Trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holders of the Junior Subordinated Debentures will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and that defeasance will not otherwise alter such holders' United States federal income tax treatment of principal, premium and interest payments on such Junior Subordinated Debentures (such opinion must be based on a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service or a change in United States federal income tax law occurring after the date of such Indenture, since such a result would not occur under current tax law); and (iii) no event or condition shall exist that, pursuant to certain provisions described under "Subordination" above, would prevent SunAmerica from making payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures at the date of the irrevocable deposit referred to above. (Section 11.01). Governing Law The Indenture and the Junior Subordinated Debentures will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. (Section 13.05). Information Concerning the Indenture Trustee The Indenture Trustee, prior to default, undertakes to perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in the Indenture and, after default, shall exercise the same degree of care as a prudent individual would exercise in the conduct of his or her own affairs. (Section 7.01). Subject to such provision, the Indenture Trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of the powers vested in it by the Indenture at the request of any holder of Junior Subordinated Debentures, unless offered reasonable indemnity by such holder against the costs, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred thereby. (Section 7.02). The Indenture Trustee is not required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of its duties if the Trustee reasonably believes that repayment or adequate indemnity is not reasonably assured to it. (Section 7.01). The Indenture Trustee is one of a number of banks with which SunAmerica and its subsidiaries maintain ordinary banking and trust relationships. Miscellaneous SunAmerica will have the right at all times to assign any of its rights or obligations under the Indenture to a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of SunAmerica; provided, that, in the event of any such assignment, SunAmerica will remain jointly and severally liable for all such obligations. Subject to the foregoing, the Indenture will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties thereto and their respective successors and assigns. The Indenture provides that it may not otherwise be assigned by the parties thereto other than by SunAmerica to a successor or purchaser pursuant to a consolidation, merger or sale permitted by the Indenture. (Section 13.11). DESCRIPTION OF THE SERIES B PREFERRED The summary of the terms of the Series B Preferred set forth below does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of SunAmerica's Articles of Incorporation and the Articles Supplementary for the Series B Preferred, copies of which may be obtained from SunAmerica upon request. The Series B Preferred ranks on a parity as to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of SunAmerica with the outstanding Adjustable Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series C and the Series D Preferred Stock of SunAmerica and senior to the Common Stock and Nontransferable Class B Stock of SunAmerica as to the payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of SunAmerica. The transfer agent, registrar, dividend disbursing agent and redemption agent for the Series B Preferred is Bank of America, N.T. and S.A. Dividends. Subject to the rights of holders of other classes of stock of SunAmerica ranking on a parity with or senior to the Series B Preferred which may from time to time be issued by SunAmerica, the holders of Series B Preferred are entitled to receive, when, as and if the Board of Directors declares a dividend on the Series B Preferred, out of assets legally available for dividends, cumulative preferential cash dividends from the issue date of the Series B Preferred (June 29, 1992), accruing at the rate per share of Series B Preferred of $2.3125 per annum or $.5781 per quarter, payable quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of each March, June, September and December or, if any such date is not a business day, on the next succeeding business day. Dividends on the Series B Preferred accrue whether or not SunAmerica has earnings, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of such dividends and whether or not such dividends are declared and accumulate to the extent they are not paid on the dividend payment date for the quarter for which they accrue. Accumulated unpaid dividends do not bear interest. So long as any shares of Series B Preferred are outstanding, no dividend (other than a dividend in shares of Common Stock, Nontransferable Class B Stock or any other class of stock of SunAmerica at any time ranking junior as to dividends and assets to the Series B Preferred and any other class of outstanding Preferred Stock (collectively, the "Junior Stock")) shall be paid or declared or any other distribution ordered or made upon any Junior Stock, nor shall any sum or sums be set aside for or applied to the purchase or redemption of Series B Preferred or any other class of outstanding Preferred Stock or the purchase, redemption or other acquisition for value of any Junior Stock, unless, in each case, full cumulative dividends accumulated on all shares of Series B Preferred and all other shares of outstanding Preferred Stock shall have been paid in full. All dividends declared upon the Series B Preferred and any other class of outstanding Preferred Stock shall be declared pro rata so that the amount of dividends declared per share on the Series B Preferred and such other class of Preferred Stock shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that the respective dividend rights per share of the Series B Preferred and such other class of Preferred Stock bear to each other. Holders of Series B Preferred shall not be entitled to any dividends, whether payable in cash, property or stock, in excess of full cumulative dividends as described herein. Liquidation Rights. Subject to the rights of holders of other classes of stock of SunAmerica ranking on a parity with or senior to Series B Preferred, in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the business of SunAmerica, whether voluntary or involuntary (any such event, a "Liquidation"), the holders of Series B Preferred, after payment or provisions for payment of the debts and other liabilities of SunAmerica, will be entitled to receive for each share of Series B Preferred, an amount equal to the sum of $25 and all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, and no more. If, upon any Liquidation, there are insufficient assets to permit full payment to holders of Series B Preferred and shares of any other class of outstanding Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of Series B Preferred and such other shares shall be paid ratably in proportion to the full distributable amounts to which holders of shares of Series B Preferred and such other shares are respectively entitled upon Liquidation. The full preferential amount payable to holders of Series B Preferred and shares of any other class of outstanding Preferred Stock upon Liquidation will be paid in full before any distribution or payment is made to holders of Junior Stock. Redemption. The Series B Preferred is not redeemable prior to June 15, 1997. On and after such date, the Series B Preferred is redeemable in cash at the option of SunAmerica, in whole or in part, from time to time upon not less than 30 or more than 60 days notice, at a redemption price of $25.00 per share plus an amount equal to the sum of all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for redemption. The Series B Preferred is not entitled to the benefits of any sinking fund. Voting Rights. The Series B Preferred does not entitle holders thereof to voting rights, except (i) SunAmerica may not alter any of the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation of SunAmerica or the Articles Supplementary relating to the Series B Preferred which would materially and adversely affect any right, preference or privilege of the Series B Preferred without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the Series B Preferred outstanding at the time (voting separately as a class); provided, however, that any such alteration that would authorize, create or issue any additional shares of Preferred Stock or any other shares of stock (whether or not already authorized) ranking senior to, on a parity with or junior to the Series B Preferred as to dividends or on the distribution of assets upon Liquidation shall be deemed not to materially and adversely affect such rights, preferences or privileges, (ii) in the event dividends payable on the Series B Preferred are in arrears in an aggregate amount equivalent to six full quarterly dividends (a "Series B Preferred Dividend Default"), or (iii) as required by law. In the event of a Series B Preferred Dividend Default, the holders of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred will be entitled to elect, together with the holders of all other outstanding classes of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with Series B Preferred and entitled to participate in such election, voting as a single class, two directors at a special meeting called by the Board of Directors for such purpose. Such two directors shall serve until the full dividends accumulated on all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred and all other outstanding classes of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with Series B Preferred are paid. Miscellaneous. The holders of Series B Preferred have no preemptive rights. Shares of Series B Preferred validly tendered and accepted for exchange in the Offer will be delivered to SunAmerica by the Trust and will assume the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock and may thereafter be reissued in the same manner as other authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PREFERRED SECURITIES, THE JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES AND THE PREFERRED SECURITIES GUARANTEE As long as payments of interest and other payments are made when due on the Junior Subordinated Debentures, such payments will be sufficient to cover distributions and other payments due on the Preferred Securities primarily because (i) the aggregate principal amount of Junior Subordinated Debentures held as trust assets will be equal to the sum of the aggregate stated liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities and the proceeds received by the Trust upon issuance of the Common Securities to SunAmerica; (ii) the interest rate and interest and other payment dates on the Junior Subordinated Debentures will match the distribution rate and distribution and other payment dates for the Preferred Securities; (iii) the Declaration provides that SunAmerica shall pay for all debts and obligations (other than with respect to the Trust Securities) and all costs and expenses of the Trust, including any taxes and all costs and expenses with respect thereto, to which the Trust may become subject, except for United States withholding taxes; and (iv) the Declaration further provides that the Trustees shall not cause or permit the Trust, among other things, to engage in any activity that is not consistent with the limited purposes of the Trust. With respect to clause (iii) above, however, no assurance can be given that SunAmerica will have sufficient resources to enable it to pay such debts, obligations, costs and expenses on behalf of the Trust. Payments of distributions and other payments due on the Preferred Securities are guaranteed by SunAmerica on a subordinated basis as and to the extent set forth under "Description of the Preferred Securities Guarantee". If SunAmerica does not make interest or other payments on the Junior Subordinated Debentures, the Trust will not make distributions or other payments on the Preferred Securities. Under the Declaration, if and to the extent SunAmerica does make interest or other payments on the Junior Subordinated Debentures, the Property Trustee is obligated to make distributions or other payments on the Preferred Securities. The Preferred Securities Guarantee is a full and unconditional guarantee from the time of issuance of the Preferred Securities, but the Preferred Securities Guarantee covers distributions and other payments on the Preferred Securities only if and to the extent that SunAmerica has made a payment to the Property Trustee of interest or principal on the Junior Subordinated Debentures deposited in the Trust as trust assets. If an Appointment Event occurs, the Declaration provides that the holders of the Preferred Securities may appoint a Special Regular Trustee who will have the same rights, powers and privileges under the Declaration as the Regular Trustees. The Property Trustee will have the power to exercise all rights, powers and privileges under the Indenture with respect to the Junior Subordinated Debentures and will also have the right to enforce the Preferred Securities Guarantee on behalf of the holders of the Preferred Securities. In addition, the holders of at least a majority in liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities will have the right to direct the Property Trustee with respect to certain matters under the Declaration and the Preferred Securities Guarantee. If the Property Trustee fails to enforce its rights under the Indenture or fails to enforce the Preferred Securities Guarantee, any holder of Preferred Securities may, after a period of 30 days has elapsed from such holder's written request to the Property Trustee to enforce such rights or the Preferred Securities Guarantee, institute a legal proceeding against SunAmerica to enforce such rights or the Preferred Securities Guarantee, as the case may be. See "Description of the Preferred Securities" and "Description of the Preferred Securities Guarantee". If a Special Event shall occur and be continuing, the Trust shall be dissolved unless the Junior Subordinated Debentures are redeemed in the limited circumstances described below, with the result that Junior Subordinated Debentures held by the Trust having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate stated liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities and Common Securities will be distributed on a Pro Rata Basis in exchange for the outstanding Preferred Securities and Common Securities, subject in the case of a Tax Event to SunAmerica's right in certain circumstances to redeem Junior Subordinated Debentures as described under "Description of the Preferred Securities -- Special Event Redemption or Distribution". The Preferred Securities represent preferred undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust, a statutory business trust which exists for the purpose of (a) issuing (i) its Preferred Securities in exchange for Series B Preferred validly tendered in the Offer and delivering such Series B Preferred to SunAmerica in consideration for the deposit by SunAmerica of Junior Subordinated Debentures in the Trust as trust assets, and (ii) its Common Securities to SunAmerica in exchange for cash and investing the proceeds thereof in an equivalent amount of Junior Subordinated Debentures and (b) engaging in such other activities as are necessary or incidental thereto. Upon any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, winding-up or termination of the Trust, the holders of Preferred Securities will be entitled to receive the Liquidation Distribution in cash or Junior Subordinated Debentures and will be entitled to the benefits of the Preferred Securities Guarantee with respect to any such distribution. See "Description of the Preferred Securities -- Liquidation Distribution Upon Dissolution". Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation or bankruptcy of SunAmerica, the holders of Junior Subordinated Debentures would be subordinated creditors of SunAmerica, subordinated in right of payment to all Senior Indebtedness, but entitled to receive payment in full of principal, premium, if any, and interest, before any stockholders of SunAmerica receive payments or distributions. A default or event of default under any Senior Indebtedness would not constitute a default or event of default under the Junior Subordinated Debentures. However, in the event of payment defaults under, or acceleration of, Senior Indebtedness, the subordination provisions of the Junior Subordinated Debentures provide that no payments may be made in respect of the Junior Subordinated Debentures. Failure to make required payments on the Junior Subordinated Debentures would constitute an event of default under the Indenture. TAXATION In the opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell, counsel to SunAmerica and the Trust, the following are the material United States federal income tax consequences of the issuance of Preferred Securities in exchange for the Series B Preferred pursuant to the Offer, and of the ownership and disposition of Preferred Securities. Unless otherwise stated, this summary deals only with Preferred Securities held as capital assets by holders who acquire the Preferred Securities pursuant to the Offer ("Initial Holders"). It does not deal with special classes of holders, such as dealers in securities or currencies, life insurance companies, persons holding Preferred Securities as a hedge against or which are hedged against currency risks or as part of a straddle, or persons whose functional currency is not the United States dollar. This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), Treasury Regulations thereunder and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, as of the date hereof, all of which are subject to change (possibly on a retroactive basis). ALL SERIES B PREFERRED HOLDERS ARE ADVISED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE EXCHANGE OF SERIES B PREFERRED FOR PREFERRED SECURITIES AND OF THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF PREFERRED SECURITIES IN LIGHT OF THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES, AS WELL AS THE EFFECT OF ANY STATE, LOCAL OR OTHER TAX LAWS. Exchange of Series B Preferred for Preferred Securities The exchange of Series B Preferred for Preferred Securities pursuant to the Offer will be a taxable transaction. In the case of an Initial Holder who owns solely Series B Preferred, or not more than one percent of such stock and not more than one percent of any other class of SunAmerica stock, gain or loss will be recognized in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value on the Expiration Date of the Preferred Securities (representing an undivided interest in the Junior Subordinated Debentures) received in the exchange and the exchanging Holder's tax basis in the Series B Preferred exchanged therefor and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the Series B Preferred has been held for more than one year as of such date. A holder's aggregate tax basis in his pro rata share of the underlying Junior Subordinated Debentures will be equal to his pro rata share of their "issue price" on the Expiration Date as defined below. Holders of Series B Preferred who actually or constructively own more than one percent of any other class of SunAmerica stock are advised to consult their tax advisors as to the income tax consequences of exchanging Series B Preferred. Classification of the Trust In connection with the issuance of the Preferred Securities, Davis Polk & Wardwell, counsel to SunAmerica and the Trust, will render its opinion generally to the effect that, under then current law and assuming full compliance with the terms of the Declaration, the Trust will be classified for United States federal income tax purposes as a grantor trust and not as an association taxable as a corporation. Accordingly, each holder of Preferred Securities (a "Securityholder") will be considered the owner of a pro rata portion of the Junior Subordinated Debentures held by the Trust. Accordingly, each Securityholder will be required to include in gross income his pro rata share of the income accrued on the Junior Subordinated Debentures. Accrual of Original Issue Discount and Premium The Junior Subordinated Debentures will be considered to have been issued with "original issue discount" and each Securityholder, including a taxpayer who otherwise uses the cash method of accounting, will be required to include his pro rata share of original issue discount on the Junior Subordinated Debentures in income as it accrues, in accordance with a constant yield method based on a compounding of interest, before the receipt of cash distributions on the Preferred Securities. So long as the interest payment period is not extended, cash distributions received by an initial Holder for any quarterly interest period (assuming no disposition prior to the record date for such distribution) will equal or exceed the sum of the daily accruals of income for such quarterly interest period, unless the issue price of the Junior Subordinated Debentures (as defined below) is less than $25. The total amount of "original issue discount" on the Junior Subordinated Debentures will equal the difference between the "issue price" of the Junior Subordinated Debentures and their "stated redemption price at maturity." Because SunAmerica has the right to extend the interest payment period of the Junior Subordinated Debentures, all of the stated interest payments on the Junior Subordinated Debentures will be includible in determining their "stated redemption price at maturity." The "issue price" of each $25 principal amount of the Junior Subordinated Debentures will be equal to the fair market value of a Preferred Security on the Expiration Date (reduced by Pre-Issuance Accrued Interest), which may be more or less than $25, with the result that the total amount of original issue discount on the Junior Subordinated Debentures may be more or less than the amount of stated interest payable with respect thereto. A Securityholder's initial tax basis for his pro rata share of the Junior Subordinated Debentures will be equal to his pro rata share of their "issue price," as defined above, and will be increased by original issue discount accrued with respect thereto, and reduced by the amount of cash distributions (including the amount of Pre-issuance Accrued Interest) paid to such Securityholder. No portion of the amounts received on the Preferred Securities will be eligible for the dividends received deduction. Potential Extension of Payment Period on the Junior Subordinated Debentures Securityholders will continue to accrue original issue discount with respect to their pro rata share of the Junior Subordinated Debentures during an extended interest payment period, and any holders who dispose of Preferred Securities prior to the record date for the payment of interest following such extended interest payment period will not receive from the Trust any cash related thereto. Distribution of Junior Subordinated Debentures to Holders of Preferred Securities Under current law, a distribution by the Trust of the Junior Subordinated Debentures as described under the caption "Description of the Preferred Securities -- Special Event Redemption or Distribution", will be non-taxable and will result in the Securityholder receiving directly his pro rata share of the Junior Subordinated Debentures previously held indirectly through the Trust, with a holding period and tax basis equal to the holding period and adjusted tax basis such Securityholder was considered to have had in his pro rata share of the underlying Junior Subordinated Debentures prior to such distribution. Treatment of the Payment of Pre-issuance Accrued Interest "Pre-issuance Accrued Interest" payable on the first interest payment date should be treated as a return of capital with respect to a Securityholder's pro rata interest in the Junior Subordinated Debentures, reducing the Securityholder's tax basis in his pro rata share of the Junior Subordinated Debentures. Market Discount and Bond Premium Securityholders other than Initial Holders may be considered to have acquired their pro rata interest in the Junior Subordinated Debentures with market discount, acquisition premium or amortizable bond premium. Such holders are advised to consult their tax advisors as to the income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of the Preferred Securities. Disposition of the Preferred Securities Upon on a sale, exchange or other disposition of the Preferred Securities (including a distribution of cash in redemption of a Securityholder's Preferred Securities upon redemption or repayment of the underlying Junior Subordinated Debentures, but excluding the distribution of Junior Subordinated Debentures), a Securityholder will be considered to have disposed of all or part of his pro rata share of the Junior Subordinated Debentures, and will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized and the Securityholder's adjusted tax basis in his pro rata share of the underlying Junior Subordinated Debentures deemed disposed of. Gain or loss will be capital gain or loss (except to the extent of any accrued market discount with respect to such Securityholder's pro rata share of the Junior Subordinated Debentures not previously included in income). See "Market Discount and Bond Premium" above. Such gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the Preferred Securities have been held for more than one year. The Preferred Securities may trade at a price that does not fully reflect the value of accrued but unpaid interest with respect to the underlying Junior Subordinated Debentures. A Securityholder who disposes of his Preferred Securities between record dates for payments of distributions thereon will nevertheless be required to include accrued but unpaid interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures through the date of disposition in income as ordinary income, and to add such amount to his adjusted tax basis in his pro rata share of the underlying Junior Subordinated Debentures deemed disposed of. Accordingly, such a Securityholder will recognize a capital loss to the extent the selling price (which may not fully reflect the value of accrued but unpaid interest) is less than the Securityholder's adjusted tax basis (which will include accrued but unpaid interest). Subject to certain limited exceptions, capital losses cannot be applied to offset ordinary income for United States federal income tax purposes. United States Alien Holders For purposes of this discussion, a "United States Alien Holder" is any corporation, individual, partnership, estate or trust that is, as to the United States, a foreign corporation, a non-resident alien individual, a foreign partnership or a non-resident fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust. Under present United States federal income tax law: (i) payments by the Trust or any of its paying agents to any holder of a Preferred Security who or which is a United States Alien Holder will not be subject to United States federal withholding tax, provided that (a) the beneficial owner of the Preferred Security does not actually or constructively own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of SunAmerica entitled to vote, (b) the beneficial owner of the Preferred Security is not a controlled foreign corporation that is related to SunAmerica through stock ownership, and (c) either (A) the beneficial owner of the Preferred Security certifies to the Trust or its agent, under penalties of perjury, that it is not a United States holder and provides its name and address or (B) a securities clearing organization, bank or other financial institution that holds customers' securities in the ordinary course of its trade or business (a "Financial Institution") and holds the Preferred Security certifies to the Trust or its agent under penalties of perjury that such statement has been received from the beneficial owner by it or by a Financial Institution between it and the beneficial owner and furnishes the Trust or its agent with a copy thereof; (ii) a United States Alien Holder of a Preferred Security will not be subject to United States federal withholding tax on any gain realized upon the sale or other disposition of a Preferred Security; and (iii) any gain realized by a United States Alien Holder upon the exchange of Series B Preferred for Preferred Securities will not be subject to United States federal withholding tax. Information Reporting to Holders The Trust will report the original issue discount that accrued during the year with respect to the Junior Subordinated Debentures, and any gross proceeds received by the Trust from the retirement or redemption of the Junior Subordinated Debentures, annually to the holders of record of the Preferred Securities and the Internal Revenue Service. The Trust currently intends to deliver such reports to holders of record prior to January 31 following each calendar year. It is anticipated that persons who hold Preferred Securities as nominees for beneficial holders will report the required tax information to beneficial holders on Form 1099. Backup Withholding Payments made on, and proceeds from the sale of Preferred Securities may be subject to a "backup" withholding tax of 31% unless the holder complies with certain identification requirements. Any withheld amounts will generally be allowed as a credit against the holder's federal income tax, provided the required information is timely filed with the Internal Revenue Service. LEGAL MATTERS Certain matters of Delaware law relating to the validity of the Preferred Securities will be passed upon for the Trust by Richards, Layton & Finger, Wilmington, Delaware, special Delaware counsel to the Trust. The validity of the Preferred Securities Guarantee and the Junior Subordinated Debentures will be passed upon for the Trust and SunAmerica by Davis Polk & Wardwell, New York, New York, special counsel to SunAmerica and the Trust. Davis Polk & Wardwell will rely as to matters of Maryland law on Piper & Marbury, Baltimore, Maryland. Certain legal matters in connection with the Preferred Securities, the Preferred Securities Guarantee and the Junior Subordinated Debentures will be passed upon for the Trust and SunAmerica by Susan L. Harris, Vice President and General Counsel - Corporate Affairs of SunAmerica. Ms. Harris holds options, granted under SunAmerica's Employee Stock Plan, to purchase in the aggregate less than 1% of SunAmerica's common stock. David W. Ferguson, a partner of Davis Polk & Wardwell, is a director of First SunAmerica Life Insurance Company, a subsidiary of SunAmerica.

PART II INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN OFFERING CIRCULAR/PROSPECTUS Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers. Section 2-418 of the Maryland General Corporation law permits the indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents of Maryland corporations. Article Eighth of SunAmerica's Restated Articles of Incorporation (the "Articles") authorizes the indemnification of directors and officers to the full extent required or permitted by the General Laws of the State of Maryland, now or hereafter in force, whether such persons are serving SunAmerica, or, at its request, any other entity, which indemnification shall include the advance of expenses under the procedures and to the full extent permitted by law. Article Eighth further provides that the foregoing rights of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled and that no amendment or repeal of Article Eighth shall apply to or have any effect on any right to indemnification provided thereunder with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to such amendment or repeal. In addition, SunAmerica's officers and directors are covered by certain directors' and officers' liability insurance policies maintained by SunAmerica. Reference is made to section 2-418 of the Maryland General Corporation Law and Article Eighth of the Articles, which are incorporated herein by reference. The Declaration provides that no Trustee, affiliate of any Trustee or any officers, directors, shareholders, members, partners, employees, representatives or agents of any Trustee or any employee or agent of the Trust or its affiliates (each, an "Indemnified Person") shall be liable, responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise to any employee or agent of the Trust or its affiliates, or any officers, directors, shareholders, employees, representatives or agents of SunAmerica or its affiliations or to any holders of Trust Securities of the Trust for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Indemnified Person in good faith on behalf of the Trust and in a manner such Indemnified Person reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such Indemnified Person by the Declaration or by law, except that an Indemnified Person shall be liable for any such loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of such Indemnified Person's gross negligence (or, in the case of the Property Trustee, negligence) or willful misconduct with respect to such acts or omission. The Declaration also provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, SunAmerica shall indemnify and hold harmless each Trustee, any affiliate of a Trustee or any officers, directors, shareholders, members, partners, employees, representatives or agents of the Trustees, or any employee or agent of the Trust or its affiliates (each, an "Indemnified Person") from and against any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Indemnified Person by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Indemnified Person in good faith on behalf of the Trust and in a manner such Indemnified Person reasonably believed to be within the scope of authority conferred on such Indemnified Person by the Declaration, except that no Indemnified Person shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Indemnified Person by reason of gross negligence (or, in the case of the Property Trustee, negligence) or willful misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions. The Declaration further provides that to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, expenses (including legal fees) incurred by an Indemnified Person in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by SunAmerica prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by SunAmerica of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified pursuant to the Declaration.

Item 22. Undertakings. Each of the Registrants hereby undertakes: (1) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of SunAmerica's Annual Report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (2) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrants pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrants have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrants of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrants in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrants will, unless in the opinion of their counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. (3) To respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the Offering Circular/Prospectus pursuant to Item 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of Form S-4, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first-class mail or equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the Registration Statement through the date responding to the request. (4) To supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the Registration Statement when it became effective.

Prior to the commencement of the Offer, the Offerors agree to furnish you with as many copies as you may reasonably request of (i) each of the documents that is filed with the Commission, including each registration statement, preliminary and final prospectus filed with the Commission, in connection with the Offer, and all documents incorporated therein by reference, (ii) each offering circular, sales memorandum, term sheet, proposed agreement, solicitation statement, disclosure document, or other explanatory statement, or other report, filing, document, release or communication mailed, delivered, published, or filed by or on behalf of the Offerors in connection with the Offer, (iii) each document required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the provisions of the Exchange Act pertaining to the Offer during the term of this Agreement and (iv) each appendix, attachment, modification, amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing and all related documents, including but not limited to each related letter of transmittal (each of (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), together with each document incorporated by reference into any of the foregoing, an "Offer Material" and, collectively, the "Offer Materials"). At the commencement of the Offer, the Offerors shall cause timely to be delivered to each registered holder of any Target Securities legally or contractually entitled thereto, such of the Offer Materials as may be required by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act to be delivered to such holder and any other offering materials prepared expressly for use by holders of Target Securities tendering in the Offer, together with a return envelope. Thereafter, to the extent practicable, until the expiration of the Offer, the Offerors shall use their best efforts to cause copies of such materials and a return envelope to be mailed to each person who becomes a holder of any applicable Target Securities. In connection with the Offer, if either of the Offerors (a) uses or permits the use of, or files with the Commission or any other governmental or regulatory agency, authority or instrumentality, any Offer Material that (i) has not been submitted to you on a timely basis for your comments as required in Section 2(a) hereof or (ii) has been so submitted and with respect to which you reasonably object or (b) shall have breached any of its representations, warranties, agreements or covenants herein, then you shall be entitled to withdraw as dealer manager in connection with the Offer, without any liability or penalty to you or any other Indemnified Party (as hereinafter defined) for such withdrawal and without loss of any right to indemnification or contribution provided in this Agreement, to the payment of all fees and expenses payable hereunder that have accrued to the date of such withdrawal or to the benefit of any other provisions surviving such withdrawal pursuant to Section 11. In the event of any such withdrawal, for the purpose of determining the fees payable to you pursuant to this Section 3, the amount of Target Securities tendered for exchange as of the close of business on the date of such withdrawal that are thereafter exchanged pursuant to the Offer shall be deemed to have been exchanged, pursuant to the Offer, as of the date of such withdrawal. If you should withdraw, the fees accrued and reimbursement for your expenses through the date of such withdrawal shall be paid to you in cash on or promptly after such date. 4. Compensation and Expense Reimbursement. In consideration of the services to be rendered by you pursuant hereto, the character and sufficiency of which the Offerors hereby acknowledge, the Company agrees to pay you, in cash, the following non-refundable amounts: (a) A fee, payable upon the consummation of the Offer, equal to $_____ per share of Target Securities tendered pursuant to the Offer. (b) The Company agrees to pay to each Soliciting Dealer (as defined herein) a solicitation fee of $_____ per share of Target Securities validly tendered and accepted for exchange pursuant to the Offer and covered by a Letter of Transmittal which designates, as having solicited and obtained the tender, the name of (i) any dealer or broker in securities, including you in your capacity as a dealer or broker, who is a member of any national securities exchange or of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD"), (ii) any foreign dealer or broker not eligible for membership in the NASD which agrees to conform to the NASD's Rules of Fair Practice in soliciting tenders outside the United States to the same extent as though it were an NASD member, or (iii) any bank or trust company (each of which is referred to herein as a "Soliciting Dealer"). No such fee shall be payable to a Soliciting Dealer in respect of Target Securities registered in the name of such Soliciting Dealer unless (i) such Target Securities are held by such Soliciting Dealer as nominee and such Target Securities are being tendered for the benefit of one or more beneficial owners identified on the Letter of Transmittal or (ii) such Target Securities are being tendered for the benefit of the Soliciting Dealer and such Soliciting Dealer certifies on the Letter of Transmittal that such Target Securities were acquired by the Soliciting Dealer (x) after the commencement of the Offer, (y) at a price not in excess of $_____ and (z) from a holder solicited by the Soliciting Dealer. For purposes of clause (z), solicited shall mean direct contact (other than the mailing of the Offer Materials) with the holder relating to the tender of Target Securities beneficially owned by the holder that resulted in the purchase by the Soliciting Dealer of such Target Securities. No such fee shall be payable to a Soliciting Dealer with respect to the tender of Target Securities by a holder unless the Letter of Transmittal accompanying such tender designates such Soliciting Dealer. If the Target Securities covered by the Letter of Transmittal are held by the Soliciting Dealer as nominee for the tendering shareholder, the nominee may only be designated as a Soliciting Dealer if the beneficial owner has so designated. No such fee shall be payable to a Soliciting Dealer if such Soliciting Dealer is required for any reason to transfer the amount of such fee to a depositing holder (other than itself). No Soliciting Dealer shall be deemed to be the agent of the Offerors. (c) In addition, and without regard to whether the Offer is commenced or consummated or whether this Agreement is terminated, the Company agrees to pay promptly, in cash, all of the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses you incurred in connection with the services rendered or to be rendered by you pursuant to this Agreement, including all reasonable fees (not to exceed $____) and expenses of your counsel. Nothing in this paragraph shall in any way limit or affect your or any other Indemnified Party's right to receive all expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement. (d) Whether or not the Offer is commenced or consummated and whether or not this Agreement has been terminated, the Company shall pay (i) all expenses of preparation, printing, mailing and dissemination of the Offer Materials and any other documents related to the Offer; (ii) all fees and expenses paid by brokers, dealers (including you), commercial banks, trust companies and nominees for their customary mailing and handling expenses incurred in forwarding Offer Materials and any other documents related to the Offer to their customers; (iii) all fees and expenses of the exchange agent and any depositary, information agent or other persons rendering services in connection with the Offer, including, without limitation, fees payable and expenses incurred in respect of any agent of the Offerors engaged to solicit holders of the Target Securities; (iv) all advertising charges incurred with the approval of the Company; (v) all filing fees applicable to any transaction addressed herein required to be paid to any governmental or regulatory agency (including those required of you by the Commission); (vi) any fees payable in connection with the rating of the Preferred Securities; (vii) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing on the New York Stock Exchange of the Preferred Securities; and (viii) all other expenses incurred in connection with the Offer. 5. Termination. Subject to Section 11, you may resign and, following 3 business days notice, the Offerors may terminate your engagement hereunder at any time. If this Agreement were to terminate for any reason, however, in addition to, but without duplication of, any fees earned pursuant to Section 3, you shall be entitled to receive all of the amounts payable in respect of expenses incurred in accordance with Sections 4(c) and (d) hereof up to and including the effective date of such termination; provided that if this Agreement were to be terminated by you for cause or by the Offerors other than for cause, and on or prior to February 28, 1996, either or both of the Offerors or any affiliate of the Offerors proceed or proceeds with any exchange offer the terms of which do not differ substantially from the terms set forth in any Offer Material or as recommended by you prior to such termination, you also shall be entitled to receive all of the amounts due and payable pursuant to Section 4(a) hereof as if this Agreement were to remain in effect with respect to such subsequent exchange offer. 6. Indemnification, Contribution and Other Provisions. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless you and your affiliates and your and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons (you and each such person being an "Indemnified Party") as follows: (i) from and against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject under any applicable federal or state law, or otherwise, and related to or arising out of (A) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Offer Materials, other than the Prospectus (as hereinafter defined), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, (B) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (C) any breach by either or both of the Offerors of any of their representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement, (D) either or both of the Offerors' failure to make the Offer, or the withdrawal, termination or extension of the Offer or any other failure on their part to comply with the terms and conditions specified in the Offer Materials, and (E) the Offer, the engagement of you pursuant to, and the performance by you of the services contemplated by, this Agreement; (ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon the occurrence of any matter described in clause (i) above, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Offerors; and (iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including, subject to the last sentence of Section 6(d) hereof, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by you), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon the occurrence of any matter described in clause (i) above, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party and whether or not such claim, action or proceeding is initiated or brought by or on behalf of the Offerors, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under clause (i) or (ii) above. The Offerors shall not, however, be liable to an Indemnified Party for any loss, liability, claim, settlement, damage or expense under (A) clauses (i)(A) and (B) of this subsection 6(a) to the extent arising out of an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in the Offer Materials in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Offerors by you expressly for use in the Offer Materials and (B) clause (i)(E) of this subsection 6(a) that is found in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from your bad faith or gross negligence. Each of the Offerors recognizes and acknowledges for all purposes of this Agreement that the only information covered by clause (A) above consists of the third sentence of the first paragraph under the caption "Listing and Trading of Preferred Securities and Series B Preferred" in the Prospectus (as hereinafter defined). The Offerors also agree that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to the Offerors or their security holders or creditors related to or arising out of the Offer or the engagement of you pursuant to, or the performance by you of the services contemplated by, this Agreement except to the extent that any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense is found in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from your bad faith or gross negligence. The Offerors agree that, without your prior written consent, they will not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnification could be sought under the indemnification provisions of this Section 6 (whether or not you or any other Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such claim, action or proceeding), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim, action or proceeding. (b) If the indemnification of an Indemnified Party provided for in this Agreement is for any reason held unenforceable, the Company and such Indemnified Party shall contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses for which such indemnification is held unenforceable, as incurred, in the proportion that your compensation payable hereunder bears to the aggregate liquidation value of the Target Securities, with such Indemnified Party paying the smaller portion and the Offerors paying the larger portion. The Indemnified Parties, in the aggregate, shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount of fees received by you under this Agreement. The foregoing contribution agreement shall be in addition to any rights that any Indemnified Party may have at common law or otherwise. No investigation or failure to investigate by any Indemnified Party shall impair the foregoing indemnification and contribution agreement or any rights an Indemnified Party may have. (c) In the event that an Indemnified Party is requested or required to appear as a witness in any action brought by or on behalf of or against the Offerors in which such Indemnified Party is not named as defendant, the Company agrees to reimburse you for all expenses incurred by you in connection with such Indemnified Party's appearing and preparing to appear as such a witness, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of your legal counsel, and to compensate you in an amount to be mutually agreed upon. (d) The Offerors agree to notify you promptly of the assertion against you or any other person of any claim or the commencement of any action or proceeding relating to a transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of written notice of any claim or commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder, such Indemnified Party will notify the Offerors in writing of such claim or of the commencement of such action or proceeding, but failure so to notify the Offerors will not relieve the Company from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party (i) under the indemnification agreement, except to the extent that the Company is materially prejudiced by such failure, and (ii) otherwise than under this indemnification agreement. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action. If it so elects within a reasonable time after receipt of such notice, an indemnifying party, jointly with any other indemnifying parties receiving such notice, may assume the defense of such action with counsel chosen by it and approved by the Indemnified Parties defendant in such action (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), unless such Indemnified Parties reasonably object to such assumption on the ground that there may be legal defenses available to them which are different from or in addition to those available to such indemnifying party. If an indemnifying party assumes the defense of such action, the indemnifying parties shall not be liable for any fees and expenses of counsel for the Indemnified Parties incurred thereafter in connection with such action. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for reasonable fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all Indemnified Parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. 7.

By:________________________________ Name: Title: SUNAMERICA CAPITAL TRUST I, a Delaware statutory business trust BY: SUNAMERICA, INC., sponsor By:________________________________ Name: Title: Confirmed and agreed to as of the date first above written: MERRILL LYNCH, PIERCE, FENNER & SMITH INCORPORATED By:________________________________ Name: Title: Investment Banking Group Appendix A (1) The favorable opinion of Piper & Marbury to the effect that: (i) The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Maryland; and the Company has the corporate power under the laws of the State of Maryland and under its charter to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Offer Materials. (ii) This Agreement, the Declaration, the Indenture, the Debentures and the Guarantee have been duly authorized for execution and delivery by the Company. (iii) The execution and delivery by the Company of, and the performance by the Company of its obligations under, this Agreement, the Declaration, the Indenture, the Debentures and the Guarantee will not contravene any provision of any material applicable law of the State of Maryland or the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Company (excluding the securities or Blue Sky laws of the State of Maryland, as to which no opinion is expressed). (iv) The statements in the Prospectus under the caption "Description of the Series B Preferred", to the extent such statements constitute summaries of legal matters or documents, has been reviewed by such counsel and is correct in all material respects.

(ii) Each Subsidiary has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and has the corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as presently conducted and as described in the Offer Materials. Nothing has come to the attention of such counsel to lead such counsel to believe that any of Sun Life Insurance Company of America, Anchor National Life Insurance Company or SunAmerica Asset Management Corp. is not duly qualified as a foreign corporation to transact business or is not in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, except where the failure to so qualify or be in good standing would not have a material adverse effect on the condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings or business affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise. To the best of such counsel's knowledge and information, all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of each Subsidiary is owned (except for directors qualifying shares), directly or through subsidiaries, by the Company, free and clear of any security interest, mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance, claim or equity. (iii) The registration statement relating to the Offer (the "Registration Statement") is effective under the Securities Act and, to the best of such counsel's knowledge and information, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued under the Securities Act or proceedings therefor initiated or threatened by the Commission. (iv) At the time the Registration Statement became effective and on the date hereof, the Registration Statement (other than the financial statements, supporting schedules and other financial data included or incorporated by reference therein and that part of the Registration Statement that constitutes the Form T-1, as to which no opinion need be rendered) appeared on its face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. (v) Each document filed pursuant to the Exchange Act and incorporated by reference in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement at the time it became effective (the "Prospectus"), or that is otherwise delivered to holders of Target Securities, at the time it was filed or last amended (other than financial statements, supporting schedules and other financial data included or incorporated by reference therein, as to which no opinion need be rendered), appeared on its face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. (vi) No authorization, consent or approval of, or other order by, any court or administrative or governmental authority or agency is required in connection with the Offer, except such as may be required under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or state securities or Blue Sky or insurance securities laws or except as have been obtained. (vii) To the best of such counsel's knowledge and information, there are no statutes or regulations required to be described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus which are not described as required and there are no legal or governmental proceedings pending or threatened which are required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement, other than those disclosed therein. (viii) To the best of such counsel's knowledge and information, there are no contracts, indentures, mortgages, loan agreements, notes, leases or other instruments required to be described or referred to in the Registration Statement or to be filed as exhibits thereto other than those described or referred to therein or filed as exhibits thereto, the descriptions thereof or references thereto are correct and, to the best of such counsel's knowledge and information, no default exists in the due performance or observance of any material obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained in any contract, indenture, mortgage, loan agreement, note, lease or other instrument so described, referred to or filed, which default could have a material adverse effect on the Partnership or the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise. (ix) To the best of such counsel's knowledge and information, the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Declaration, the Indenture, the Debentures and the Guarantee and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and in the Offer Materials will not conflict with or constitute a breach of, or default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Trust, the Company or any of the Subsidiaries pursuant to, any material contract, indenture, mortgage, loan agreement, note, lease or other instrument to which the Trust, the Company or any of the Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them may be bound, or to which any of the property or assets of the Trust, the Company or any of the Subsidiaries is subject, except for a conflict, breach, default, lien, charge or encumbrance which would not have a material adverse effect on the condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings or business affairs of the Trust or the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of the respective Declaration, charter or by-laws of the Trust, the Company and the Subsidiaries, as applicable, or any material applicable law, administrative regulation or administrative or court decree. In giving such opinion, such counsel may rely, as to matters governed by laws other than the laws of the State of California and the Federal law of the United States of America, on an opinion or opinions of Davis Polk & Wardwell, Richards, Layton & Finger and Piper & Marbury, so long as each such opinion shall be dated as of such date and shall expressly permit the dealer manager to rely thereon as if such opinion were addressed to the dealer manager. (3) The favorable opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell with respect to the matters set forth in (iii), (iv) (but not with respect to any documents incorporated by reference) and (vi) (solely with respect to Federal law and the laws of the State of New York) of subsection (2) of this Section and to the effect that: (i) The statements in the Prospectus under the captions "Description of the Preferred Securities," "Description of the Junior Subordinated Debentures" and "Description of the Preferred Securities Guarantee", insofar as such statements constitute summaries of the legal matters or documents referred to therein, have been reviewed by such counsel and fairly summarize the matters referred to therein and the statements in the Prospectus under the caption "Taxation" constitute in all material respects a fair and accurate summary of the material United States federal income tax consequences of the issuance of the Preferred Securities in exchange for the Target Securities pursuant to the Offer, and of the ownership and disposition of the Preferred Securities. (ii) The Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company and First Chicago, as of the Acceptance Date each of the Indenture and the Debentures will be a valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms except as (a) the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and (b) rights of acceleration and the availability of equitable remedies may be limited by equitable principles of general applicability. (iii) The Preferred Securities, the Debentures and the Guarantee conform in all material respects to the description thereof contained in Prospectus and the Registration Statement. (iv) Neither of the Offerors is an "investment company" or a company "controlled by an "investment company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. In giving such opinion, such counsel may rely, as to matters governed by laws other than the laws of the State of New York and the Federal law of the United States of America, on an opinion or opinions of Piper & Marbury and Richards, Layton & Finger so long as each such opinion shall be dated as of such date and shall expressly permit the dealer manager to rely thereon as if such opinion were addressed to the dealer manager. (4) The favorable opinion of Richards, Layton & Finger to the effect that: (i) The Trust has been duly created and is validly existing in good standing as a business trust under the Delaware Act and under the Declaration and the Delaware Act has the business trust power and authority to conduct its business as described in the Prospectus. (ii) Assuming due authorization, execution and delivery of the Declaration by the Company and the Trustees, the Declaration as of the Acceptance Date will be a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Company and the Trustees, enforceable against the Company and the Trustees in accordance with its terms, except as (a) the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency moratorium, receivership, reorganization, liquidation, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally and (b) principles of equity, including applicable law relating to fiduciary duties (regardless of whether considered and applied in a proceeding in equity or at law). (iii) Under the Declaration and the Delaware Act, the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Trust, and the performance by the Trust of its obligations hereunder, have been duly authorized by all business trust action on the part of the Trust. (iv) The Trust Securities have been duly authorized by the Declaration and when the Preferred Securities are issued in exchange for Target Securities pursuant to the Offer and the Common Securities are issued against payment therefor as provided in the Declaration, the Trust Securities will be duly and validly issued and, subject to the qualifications set forth in such opinion, fully paid and nonassessable undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust. The holders of Trust Securities, as beneficial owners of the Trust, will be entitled to the same limitation of personal liability extended to stockholders of private corporations for profit organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. In rendering such opinion, such counsel may note that holders of Trust Securities may be obligated, pursuant to the Declaration, to (i) provide indemnity and security in connection with and pay taxes or other governmental charges arising from transfers of Trust Security Certificates and the issuance of replacement certificates for Trust Securities, (ii) provide security and indemnity in connection with requests of or directions to the Property Trustee to exercise its rights and remedies under the Declaration, and (iii) undertake as a party litigant to pay costs in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under the Declaration or against the Property Trustee, to the extent provided in the Declaration. In rendering such opinion such counsel may also note that the Company, in its capacity as Sponsor and not in its capacity as a Holder, has undertaken certain payment obligations as set forth in the Declaration. (v) Under the Declaration and the Delaware Act, the issuance of the Trust Securities is not subject to preemptive rights. (5) Susan L. Harris, Esq. and Davis Polk & Wardwell shall each additionally state that they have participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Trust and the Company, and representatives of the independent public accountants for the Company, at which conferences the contents of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and related matters were discussed and, although they are not passing upon, and do not assume any responsibility for, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, and they have not made any independent check or verification thereof, on the basis of the foregoing, nothing has come to their attention that would lead them to believe that the Registration Statement (except for (i) financial statements and other financial data included or incorporated by reference therein, (ii) that part of the Registration Statement that constitutes the Form T-1 and (iii) in the case of Davis Polk & Wardwell only, any of the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein), at the time it became effective, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or that the Prospectus (except for (i) financial statements and other financial data included or incorporated by reference therein, (ii) that part of the Registration Statement that constitutes the Form T-1 and (iii) in the case of Davis Polk & Wardwell only, any of the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein), at the time the Registration Statement became effective or at the time of consummation of each Offer, included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

SECTION 2.03. The Debentures shall be issuable as registered Debentures and in the denominations of $25 or any integral multiple thereof, subject to Section 2.01(10). The Debentures of a particular series shall bear interest payable on the dates and at the rate specified with respect to that series.

In the event that any Debenture of a particular series or portion thereof is called for redemption and the redemption date is subsequent to a regular record date with respect to any Interest Payment Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date, interest on such Debenture will be paid upon presentation and surrender of such Debenture as provided in Section 3.03. Any interest on any Debenture which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for Debentures of the same series (herein called "Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered holder on the relevant regular record date by virtue of having been such holder; and such Defaulted Interest shall be paid by the Company, at its election, as provided in clause (1) or clause (2) below: (1) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on Debentures to the persons in whose names such Debentures (or their respective Predecessor Debentures) are registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner: the Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each such Debenture and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall not be more than 15 nor less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such special record date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each Debentureholder at his or her address as it appears in the Debenture Register (as hereinafter defined), not less than 10 days prior to such special record date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the persons in whose names such Debentures (or their Predecessor Debentures) are registered on such special record date and shall be no longer payable pursuant to the following clause (2). (2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on any Debentures in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Debentures may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. Unless otherwise set forth in a Board Resolution or one or more indentures supplemental hereto establishing the terms of any series of Debentures pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof, the term "regular record date" as used in this Section with respect to a series of Debentures with respect to any Interest Payment Date for such series shall mean either the fifteenth day of the month immediately preceding the month in which an Interest Payment Date established for such series pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof shall occur, if such Interest Payment Date is the first day of a month, or the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which an Interest Payment Date established for such series pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof shall occur, if such Interest Payment Date is the fifteenth day of a month, whether or not such date is business day. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Debenture of a series delivered under this Indenture upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Debenture of such series shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Debenture. SECTION 2.04. The Debentures shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2.06, be printed on steel engraved borders or fully or partially engraved, or legibly typed, as the proper officers of the Company may determine, and shall be signed on behalf of the Company by its President or one of its Vice Presidents, under its corporate seal attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of the President or a Vice President and/or the signature of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary in attestation of the corporate seal, upon the Debentures, may be in the form of a facsimile signature of a present or any future President or Vice President and of a present or any future Secretary or Assistant Secretary and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Debentures and for that purpose the Company may use the facsimile signature of any person who shall have been a President or Vice President, or of any person who shall have been a Secretary or Assistant Secretary, notwithstanding the fact that at the time the Debentures shall be authenticated and delivered or disposed of such person shall have ceased to be the President or a Vice President, or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, of the Company, as the case may be. The seal of the Company may be in the form of a facsimile of the seal of the Company and may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Debentures. Only such Debentures as shall bear thereon a Certificate of Authentication substantially in the form established for such Debentures, executed manually by an authorized signatory of the Trustee, or by any Authenticating Agent with respect to such Debentures, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate executed by the Trustee, or by any Authenticating Agent appointed by the Trustee with respect to such Debentures, upon any Debenture executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Debenture so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Debentures of any series executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a written order of the Company for the authentication and delivery of such Debentures, signed by its President or any Vice President and its Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer, and the Trustee in accordance with such written order shall authenticate and deliver such Debentures. In authenticating such Debentures and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Debentures, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the form and terms thereof have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Debentures if the issue of such Debentures pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under the Debentures and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. SECTION 2.05. (a) Debentures of any series may be exchanged upon presentation thereof at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, for other Debentures of such series of authorized denominations, and for a like aggregate principal amount, upon payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in relation thereto, all as provided in this Section. In respect of any Debentures so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in exchange therefor the Debenture or Debentures of the same series which the Debentureholder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive, bearing numbers not contemporaneously outstanding. (b) The Company shall keep, or cause to be kept, at its office or agency designated for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, or such other location designated by the Company a register or registers (herein referred to as the "Debenture Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall register the Debentures and the transfers of Debentures as in this Article provided and which at all reasonable times shall be open for inspection by the Trustee. The registrar for the purpose of registering Debentures and transfer of Debentures as herein provided shall be appointed as authorized by Board Resolution (the "Debenture Registrar"). Upon surrender for transfer of any Debenture at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, the Company shall execute, the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Debenture or Debentures of the same series as the Debenture presented for a like aggregate principal amount. All Debentures presented or surrendered for exchange or registration of transfer, as provided in this Section, shall be accompanied (if so required by the Company or the Debenture Registrar) by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company or the Debenture Registrar, duly executed by the registered holder or by his duly authorized attorney in writing. (c) No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Debentures, or issue of new Debentures in case of partial redemption of any series, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in relation thereto, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.06, the second paragraph of Section 3.03 and Section 9.04 not involving any transfer. (d) The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, exchange or register the transfer of any Debentures during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of less than all the outstanding Debentures of the same series and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, nor (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Debentures of any series or portions thereof called for redemption. The provisions of this Section 2.05 are, with respect to any Global Debenture, subject to Section 2.11 hereof. SECTION 2.06. Pending the preparation of definitive Debentures of any series, the Company may execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Debentures (printed, lithographed or typewritten) of any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the definitive Debentures in lieu of which they are issued, but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Debentures, all as may be determined by the Company. Every temporary Debenture of any series shall be executed by the Company and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Debentures of such series. Without unnecessary delay the Company will execute and will furnish definitive Debentures of such series and thereupon any or all temporary Debentures of such series may be surrendered in exchange therefor (without charge to the holders), at the office or agency of the Company designated for the purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, and the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in exchange for such temporary Debentures an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Debentures of such series, unless the Company advises the Trustee to the effect that definitive Debentures need not be executed and furnished until further notice from the Company. Until so exchanged, the temporary Debentures of such series shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Debentures of such series authenticated and delivered hereunder. SECTION 2.07. In case any temporary or definitive Debenture shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company (subject to the next succeeding sentence) shall execute, and upon its request the Trustee (subject as aforesaid) shall authenticate and deliver, a new Debenture of the same series bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Debenture, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Debenture so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substituted Debenture shall furnish to the Company and to the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company and to the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of the applicant's Debenture and of the ownership thereof. The Trustee may authenticate any such substituted Debenture and deliver the same upon the written request or authorization of any officer of the Company. Upon the issuance of any substituted Debenture, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. In case any Debenture which has matured or is about to mature shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, instead of issuing a substitute Debenture, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Debenture) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company and to the Trustee such security or indemnity as they may require to save them harmless, and, in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to the satisfaction of the Company and the Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such Debenture and of the ownership thereof. Every Debenture issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section in substitution for any Debenture which is mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debenture shall be found at any time, or be enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Debentures of the same series duly issued hereunder. All Debentures shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debentures, and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) any and all other rights or remedies, notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender. SECTION 2.08. All Debentures surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption, exchange or registration of transfer shall, if surrendered to the Company or any paying agent, be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be canceled by it, and no Debentures shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly required or permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. On request of the Company, the Trustee shall deliver to the Company canceled Debentures held by the Trustee. In the absence of such request the Trustee may dispose of canceled Debentures in accordance with its standard procedures and deliver a certificate of disposition to the Company. If the Company shall otherwise acquire any of the Debentures, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Debentures unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. SECTION 2.09. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Debentures, express or implied, shall give or be construed to give to any person, firm or corporation, other than the parties hereto and the holders of the Debentures, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Indenture, or under any covenant, condition or provision herein contained; all such covenants, conditions and provisions being for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and of the holders of the Debentures. SECTION 2.10. So long as any of the Debentures of any series remain outstanding there may be an Authenticating Agent for any or all such series of Debentures which the Trustee shall have the right to appoint. Said Authenticating Agent shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Debentures of such series issued upon exchange, transfer or partial redemption thereof, and Debentures so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. All references in this Indenture to the authentication of Debentures by the Trustee shall be deemed to include authentication by an Authenticating Agent for such series except for authentication upon original issuance or pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall be a corporation which has a combined capital and surplus, as most recently reported or determined by it, sufficient under the laws of any jurisdiction under which it is organized or in which it is doing business to conduct a trust business, and which is otherwise authorized under such laws to conduct such business and is subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authorities. If at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with these provisions, it shall resign immediately. Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time (and upon request by the Company shall) terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon resignation, termination or cessation of eligibility of any Authenticating Agent, the Trustee may appoint an eligible successor Authenticating Agent acceptable to the Company. Any successor Authenticating Agent, upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder, shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent pursuant hereto. SECTION 2.11. (a) If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 2.01 that the Debentures of a particular series are to be issued as one or more Global Debentures, then the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 2.04, authenticate and deliver, one or more Global Debentures which (i) shall represent, and shall be denominated in an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of, all of the Outstanding Debentures of such series, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to the Depository or pursuant to the Depository's instruction and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: "Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.11 of the Indenture, this Debenture may be transferred, in whole but not in part, only to another nominee of the Depository or to a successor Depository or to a nominee of such successor Depository." (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.05, the Global Debenture of a series may be transferred, in whole but not in part and in the manner provided in Section 2.05, only to another nominee of the Depository for such series, or to a successor Depository for such series selected or approved by the Company or to a nominee of such successor Depository. (c) If at any time the Depository for a series of Debentures notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for such series or if at any time the Depository for such series shall no longer be registered or in good standing under the Exchange Act, or other applicable statute or regulation and a successor Depository for such series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such condition, as the case may be, this Section 2.11 shall no longer be applicable to the Debentures of such series and the Company will execute, and subject to Section 2.05, the Trustee will authenticate and deliver Debentures of such series in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Debentures of such series in exchange for such Global Debenture. In addition, the Company may at any time determine that the Debentures of any series shall no longer be represented by one or more Global Debentures and that the provisions of this Section 2.11 shall no longer apply to the Debentures of such series. In such event the Company will execute and subject to Section 2.05, the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers' Certificate evidencing such determination by the Company, will authenticate and deliver Debentures of such series in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Debentures of such series in exchange for such Global Debentures. Upon the exchange of the Global Debentures for such Debentures in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, the Global Debentures shall be canceled by the Trustee. Such Debentures in definitive registered form issued in exchange for the Global Debentures pursuant to this Section 2.11(c) shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depository, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Debentures to the Depository for delivery to the persons in whose names such Debentures are so registered. ARTICLE THREE Redemption of Debentures and Sinking Fund Provisions SECTION 3.01. The Company may redeem the Debentures of any series issued hereunder on and after the dates and in accordance with the terms established for such series pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof. SECTION 3.02. (a) In case the Company shall desire to exercise such right to redeem all or, as the case may be, a portion of the Debentures of any series in accordance with the right reserved so to do, it shall give notice of such redemption to holders of the Debentures of such series to be redeemed by mailing, first class postage prepaid, a notice of such redemption not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption of that series to such holders at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the Debenture Register. Any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the registered holder receives the notice. In any case, failure duly to give such notice to the holder of any Debenture of any series designated for redemption in whole or in part, or any defect in the notice, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Debentures of such series or any other series. In the case of any redemption of Debentures prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Debentures or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers' Certificate evidencing compliance with any such restriction. Each such notice of redemption shall specify the date fixed for redemption and the redemption price at which Debentures of that series are to be redeemed, and shall state that payment of the redemption price of such Debentures to be redeemed will be made at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, upon presentation and surrender of such Debentures, that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in said notice, that from and after said date interest will cease to accrue and that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case. If less than all the Debentures of a series are to be redeemed, the notice to the holders of Debentures of that series to be redeemed in whole or in part shall specify the particular Debentures to be so redeemed. In case any Debenture is to be redeemed in part only, the notice which relates to such Debenture shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, and shall state that on and after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Debenture, a new Debenture or Debentures of such series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued. (b) If less than all the Debentures of a series are to be redeemed, the Company shall give the Trustee at least 45 days' notice in advance of the date fixed for redemption as to the aggregate principal amount of Debentures of the series to be redeemed, and thereupon the Trustee shall select, by lot or in such other manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair in its discretion and which may provide for the selection of a portion or portions (equal to $25 or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of such Debentures of a denomination larger than $25, the Debentures to be redeemed and shall thereafter promptly notify the Company in writing of the numbers of the Debentures to be redeemed, in whole or in part. The Company may, if and whenever it shall so elect, by delivery of instructions signed on its behalf by its President or any Vice President, instruct the Trustee or any paying agent to call all or any part of the Debentures of a particular series for redemption and to give notice of redemption in the manner set forth in this Section, such notice to be in the name of the Company or its own name as the Trustee or such paying agent may deem advisable. In any case in which notice of redemption is to be given by the Trustee or any such paying agent, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to, or permit to remain with, the Trustee or such paying agent, as the case may be, such Debenture Register, transfer books or other records, or suitable copies or extracts therefrom, sufficient to enable the Trustee or such paying agent to give any notice by mail that may be required under the provisions of this Section. SECTION 3.03. (a) If the giving of notice of redemption shall have been completed as above provided, the Debentures or portions of Debentures of the series to be redeemed specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption and interest on such Debentures or portions of Debentures shall cease to accrue on and after the date fixed for redemption, unless the Company shall default in the payment of such redemption price and accrued interest with respect to any such Debenture or portion thereof. On presentation and surrender of such Debentures on or after the date fixed for redemption at the place of payment specified in the notice, said Debentures shall be paid and redeemed at the applicable redemption price for such series, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption (but if the date fixed for redemption is an interest payment date, the interest installment payable on such date shall be payable to the registered holder at the close of business on the applicable record date pursuant to Section 2.03). (b) Upon presentation of any Debenture of such series which is to be redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and the office or agency where the Debenture is presented shall deliver to the holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Debenture or Debentures of the same series, of authorized denominations in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Debenture so presented. SECTION 3.04. The provisions or Sections 3.04, 3.05 and 3.06 shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Debentures of a series, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by section 2.01 for Debentures of such series. The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Debentures of any series is herein referred to as a "mandatory sinking fund payment", and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Debentures of any series is herein referred to as on "optional sinking fund payment". If provided for by the terms of Debentures for any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 3.05. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Debentures of any series as provided for by the terms of Debentures of such series. SECTION 3.05. The Company (i) may deliver outstanding Debentures of a series (other than any previously called for redemption) and (ii) may apply as a credit Debentures of a series which have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Debentures or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Debentures, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Debentures of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Debentures as provided for by the terms of such series; provided that such Debentures have not been previously so credited. Such Debentures shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the redemption price specified in such Debentures for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. SECTION 3.06. Not less than 45 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Debentures, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms for that series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Debentures of that series pursuant to Section 3.05 and the basis for such credit and will, together with such Officers' Certificate, deliver to the Trustee any Debentures to be so delivered. Not less than 30 days before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Debentures to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 3.02 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 3.02. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Debentures shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Section 3.03. ARTICLE FOUR Particular Covenants of the Company The Company covenants and agrees for each series of the Debentures as follows: SECTION 4.01. The Company will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Debentures of that series at the time and place and in the manner provided herein and established with respect to such Debentures. SECTION 4.02. So long as any series of the Debentures remain outstanding, the Company agrees to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, with respect to each such series and at such other location or locations as may be designated as provided in this Section 4.02, where (i) Debentures of that series may be presented for payment, (ii) Debentures of that series may be presented as hereinabove authorized for registration of transfer and exchange, and (iii) notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Debentures of that series and this Indenture may be given or served, such designation to continue with respect to such office or agency until the Company shall, by written notice signed by its President or a Vice President and delivered to the Trustee, designate some other office or agency for such purposes or any of them. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, notices and demands. SECTION 4.03. (a) If the Company shall appoint one or more paying agents for all or any series of the Debentures, other than the Trustee, the Company will cause each such paying agency to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section: (1) that it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Debentures of that series (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Company or by any other obligor of such Debentures) in trust for the benefit of the persons entitled thereto: (2) that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Company (or by any other obligor of such Debentures) to make any payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Debentures of that series when the same shall be due and payable; (3) that it will, at any time during the continuance of any failure referred to in the preceding paragraph (a)(2) above, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such paying agent; and (4) that it will perform all other duties of paying agent as set forth in this Indenture. (b) If the Company shall act as its own paying agent with respect to any series of the Debentures, it will on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on Debentures of that series, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay such principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due on Debentures of that series until such sums shall be paid to such persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of such action, or any failure (by it or any other obligor on such Debentures) to take such action. Whenever the Company shall have one or more paying agents for any series of Debentures, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Debentures of that series, deposit with the paying agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and (unless such paying agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. (c) Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section is subject to the provisions of Section 11.05, and (ii) the Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or direct any paying agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such paying agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same terms and conditions as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such paying agent; and, upon such payment by any paying agent to the Trustee, such paying agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. SECTION 4.04. The Company, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 7.10, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder. ARTICLE FIVE Debentureholders' Lists and Reports by the Company and the Trustee SECTION 5.01. The Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee (a) on a monthly basis on each regular record date (as defined in Section 2.03) a list, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the holders of each series of Debentures as of such regular record date, provided, that the Company shall not be obligated to furnish or cause to furnish such list at any time that the list shall not differ in any respect from the most recent list furnished to the Trustee by the Company and (b) at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing within 30 days after the receipt by the Company of any such request, a list of similar form and content as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such list is furnished; provided, however, no such list need be furnished for any series for which the Trustee shall be the Debenture Registrar. SECTION 5.02. (a) The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, all information as to the names and addresses of the holders of Debentures contained in the most recent list furnished to it as provided in Section 5.01 and as to the names and addresses of holders of Debentures received by the Trustee in its capacity as Debenture Registrar (if acting in such capacity). (b) The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 5.01 upon receipt of a new list so furnished. (c) In case three or more holders of Debentures of a series (hereinafter referred to as "applicants") apply in writing to the Trustee, and furnish to the Trustee reasonable proof that each such applicant has owned a Debenture for a period of at least six months preceding the date of such application, and such application states that the applicants desire to communicate with other holders of Debentures of such series or holders of all Debentures with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under such Debentures, and is accompanied by a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which such applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee shall within five business days after the receipt of such application, at its election, either: (1) afford to such applicants access to the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 5.02; or (2) inform such applicants as to the approximate number of holders of Debentures of such series or of all Debentures, as the case may be, whose names and addresses appear in the information preserved at the time by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 5.02, and as to the approximate cost of mailing to such Debentureholders the form of proxy or other communication, if any, specified in such application. (d) If the Trustee shall elect not to afford such applicants access to such information, the Trustee shall, upon the written request of such applicants, mail to each holder of such series or of all Debentures, as the case may be, whose name and address appears in the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 5.02, a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which is specified in such request, with reasonable promptness after a tender to the Trustee of the material to be mailed and of payment, or provision for the payment, of the reasonable expenses of mailing, unless within five days after such tender, the Trustee shall mail to such applicants and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), together with a copy of the material to be mailed, a written statement to the effect that, in the opinion of the Trustee, such mailing would be contrary to the best interests of the holders of Debentures of such series or of all Debentures, as the case may be, or would be in violation of applicable law. Such written statement shall specify the basis of such opinion. If the Commission, after opportunity for a hearing upon the objections specified in the written statement so filed, shall enter an order refusing to sustain any of such objections or if, after the entry of an order sustaining one or more of such objections, the Commission shall find, after notice and opportunity for hearing, that all the objections so sustained have been met and shall enter an order so declaring, the Trustee shall mail copies of such material to all such Debentureholders with reasonable promptness after the entry of such order and the renewal of such tender; otherwise, the Trustee shall be relieved of any obligation or duty to such applicants respecting their application. (e) Each and every holder of the Debentures, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Company and the Trustee that neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any paying agent nor any Debenture Registrar shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the holders of Debentures in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, regardless of the source from which such information was derived, and that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of mailing any material pursuant to a request made under said subsection (b). SECTION 5.03. (a) The Company covenants and agrees to file with the Trustee, within 15 days after the Company is required to file the same with the Commission, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may from time to time by rules and regulations prescribe) which the Company may be required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15 (d) of the Exchange Act; or, if the Company is not required to file information, documents or reports pursuant to either of such sections, then to file with the Trustee and the Commission in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission, such of the supplementary and periodic information, documents and reports which may be required pursuant to Section 13 of the Exchange Act, in respect of a security listed and registered on a national securities exchange as may be prescribed from time to time in such rules and regulations. (b) The Company covenants and agrees to file with the Trustee and the Commission, in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission, such additional information, documents and reports with respect to compliance by the Company with the conditions and covenants provided for in this Indenture as may be required from time to time by such rules and regulations. (c) The Company covenants and agrees to transmit by mail, first class postage prepaid, or reputable over-night delivery service which provides for evidence of receipt, to the Debentureholders, as their names and addresses appear upon the Debenture Register, within 30 days after the filing thereof with the Trustee, such summaries of any information, documents and reports required to be filed by the Company pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) of this Section as may be required by rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission. (d) The Company covenants and agrees to furnish to the Trustee, on or before May 15 in each calendar year in which any of the Debentures are outstanding, or on or before such other day in each calendar year as the Company and the Trustee may from time to time agree upon, a Certificate as to his or her knowledge of the Company's compliance with all conditions and covenants under this Indenture. For purposes of this subsection (d), such compliance shall be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided under this Indenture. SECTION 5.04. (a) On or before July 15 in each year in which any of the Debentures are outstanding, the Trustee shall transmit by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Debentureholders, as their names and addresses appear upon the Debenture Register, a brief report dated as of the preceding May 15, with respect to any of the following events which may have occurred within the previous twelve months (but if no such event has occurred within such period no report need be transmitted): (1) any change to its eligibility under Section 7.09, and its qualifications under Section 7.08; (2) the creation of or any material change to a relationship specified in paragraphs (1) through (10) of subsection (c) of Section 7.08; (3) the character and amount of any advances (and if the Trustee elects so to state, the circumstances surrounding the making thereof) made by the Trustee (as such) which remain unpaid on the date of such report, and for the reimbursement of which it claims or may claim a lien or charge, prior to that of the Debentures, on any property or funds held or collected by it as Trustee if such advances so remaining unpaid aggregate more than 1/2 of 1% of the principal amount of the Debentures outstanding on the date of such report; (4) any change to the amount, interest rate, and maturity date of all other indebtedness owing by the Company, or by any other obligor on the Debentures, to the Trustee in its individual capacity, on the date of such report, with a brief description of any property held as collateral security therefor, except any indebtedness based upon a creditor relationship arising in any manner described in paragraph (2), (3), (4), or (6) of subsection (b) of Section 7.13; (5) any change to the property and funds, if any, physically in the possession of the Trustee as such on the date of such report; (6) any release, or release and substitution, of property subject to the lien of this Indenture (and the consideration thereof, if any) which it has not previously reported; (7) any additional issue of Debentures which the Trustee has not previously reported; and (8) any action taken by the Trustee in the performance of its duties under this Indenture which it has not previously reported and which in its opinion materially affects the Debentures or the Debentures of any series, except any action in respect of a default, notice of which has been or is to be withheld by it in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.07. (b) The Trustee shall transmit by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Debentureholders, as their names and addresses appear upon the Debenture Register, a brief report with respect to the character and amount of any advances (and if the Trustee elects so to state, the circumstances surrounding the making thereof) made by the Trustee as such since the date of the last report transmitted pursuant to the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section (or if no such report has yet been so transmitted, since the date of execution of this Indenture), for the reimbursement of which it claims or may claim a lien or charge prior to that of the Debentures of any series on property or funds held or collected by it as Trustee, and which it has not previously reported pursuant to this subsection if such advances remaining unpaid at any time aggregate more than 10% of the principal amount of Debentures of such series outstanding at such time, such report to be transmitted within 90 days after such time. (c) A copy of each such report shall, at the time of such transmission to Debentureholders, be filed by the Trustee with the Company, with each stock exchange upon which any Debentures are listed (if so listed) and also with the Commission. The Company agrees to notify the Trustee when any Debentures become listed on any stock exchange. ARTICLE SIX Remedies of the Trustee and Debentureholders on Event of Default SECTION 6.01. (a) Whenever used herein with respect to Debentures of a particular series, "Event of Default" means any one or more of the following events which has occurred and is continuing: (1) default in the payment of any installment of interest upon any of the Debentures of that series, as and when the same shall become due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; provided, however, that a valid extension of an interest payment period by the Company in accordance with the terms of any indenture supplemental hereto, shall not constitute a default in the payment of interest for this purpose; (2) default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any of the Debentures of that series as and when the same shall become due and payable whether at maturity, upon redemption, by declaring or otherwise, or in any payment required by any sinking or analogous fund established with respect to that series; (3) failure on the part of the Company duly to observe or perform any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Company with respect to that series contained in such Debentures or otherwise established with respect to that series of Debentures pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof or contained in this Indenture (other than a covenant or agreement which has been expressly included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of one or more series of Debentures other than such series) for a period of 90 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder, shall have been given to the Company by the Trustee, by registered or certified mail, or to the Company and the Trustee by the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Debentures of that series at the time outstanding; (4) a decree or order by a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall have been entered adjudging the Company as bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking liquidation or reorganization of the Company under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other similar applicable Federal or State law, and such decree or order shall have continued unvacated and unstayed for a period of 90 days; or an involuntary case shall be commenced under such Code in respect of the Company and shall continue undismissed for a period of 90 days or an order for relief in such case shall have been entered; or a decree or order of a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall have been entered for the appointment on the ground of insolvency or bankruptcy of a receiver or custodian or liquidator or trustee or assignee in bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company or of its property, or for the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and such decree or order shall have remained in force unvacated and unstayed for a period of 90 days; or (5) the Company shall institute proceedings to be adjudicated a voluntary bankrupt, or shall consent to the filing of a bankruptcy proceeding against it, or shall file a petition or answer or consent seeking liquidation or reorganization under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other similar applicable Federal or State law, or shall consent to the filing of any such petition, or shall consent to the appointment on the ground of insolvency or bankruptcy of a receiver or custodian or liquidator or trustee or assignee in bankruptcy or insolvency of it or of its property, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors. (b) In each and every such case, unless the principal of all the Debentures of that series shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures of that series then outstanding hereunder, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by such Debentureholders), may declare the principal of all the Debentures of that series to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, anything contained in this Indenture or in the Debentures of that series or established with respect to that series pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof to the contrary notwithstanding. (c) Section 6.01(b), however, is subject to the condition that if, at any time after the principal of the Debentures of that series shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Company shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all the Debentures of that series and the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any and all Debentures of that series which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest upon such principal and premium, if any, and, to the extent that such payment is enforceable under applicable law, upon overdue installments of interest, at the rate per annum expressed in the Debentures of that series to the date of such payment or deposit) and the amount payable to the Trustee under Section 7.06, and any and all defaults under the Indenture, other than the nonpayment of principal on Debentures of that series which shall not have become due by their terms, shall have been remedied or waived as provided in Section 6.06 then and in every such case the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures of that series then outstanding (subject to, in the case of any series of Debentures held as trust assets of a SunAmerica Capital Trust and with respect to which a Security Exchange has not theretofore occurred, such consent of the holders of the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities of such SunAmerica Capital Trust as may be required under the Declaration of Trust of such SunAmerica Capital Trust), by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences with respect to that series of Debentures; but no such rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default, or shall impair any right consequent thereon. (d) In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right with respect to Debentures of that series under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such rescission or annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Company and the Trustee shall be restored respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken. (e) If, prior to a Security Exchange with respect to the Debentures of any series, a Default with respect to the Debentures of such series shall have occurred, the Company expressly acknowledges that under the circumstances set forth in the applicable Declaration of Trust, any holder of Preferred Securities of the applicable SunAmerica Capital Trust may enforce directly against the Company the applicable Property Trustee's rights hereunder. In furtherance of the foregoing and for the avoidance of any doubt, the Company acknowledges that, under the circumstances described in the applicable Declaration of Trust, any such holder of Preferred Securities, in its own name, in the name of the applicable SunAmerica Capital Trust or in the name of the holders of the Preferred Securities issued by such SunAmerica Capital Trust, may institute or cause to be instituted a proceeding, including, without limitation, any suit in equity, an action at law or other judicial or administrative proceeding, to enforce the applicable Property Trustee's rights hereunder directly against the Company as issuer of the applicable series of Debentures, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and enforce the same against the Company. SECTION 6.02. (a) The Company covenants that (1) in case default shall be made in the payment of any installment of interest on any of the Debentures of a series, or any payment required by any sinking or analogous fund established with respect to that series as and when the same shall have become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a period of 10 business days, or (2) in case default shall be made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any of the Debentures of a series when the same shall have become due and payable, whether upon maturity of the Debentures of a series or upon redemption or upon declaration or otherwise, then, upon demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the holders of the Debentures of that series, the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable on all such Debentures for principal (and premium, if any) or interest, or both, as the case may be, with interest upon the overdue principal (and premium, if any) and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law and without duplication of any other amounts paid by the Company or the applicable SunAmerica Capital Trust in respect thereof) upon overdue installments of interest at the rate per annum expressed in the Debentures of that series; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, and the amount payable to the Trustee under Section 7.06. (b) In case the Company shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Company or other obligor upon the Debentures of that series and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or other obligor upon the Debentures of that series wherever situated the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable. (c) In case of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, readjustment, arrangement, composition or other judicial proceedings affecting the Company, any other obligor on such Debentures, or the creditors or property of either, the Trustee shall have the power to intervene in such proceedings and take any action therein that may be permitted by the court and shall (except as may be otherwise provided by law) be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other papers and documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and of the holders of Debentures of such series allowed for the entire amount due and payable by the Company or such other obligor under the Indenture at the date of institution of such proceedings and for any additional amount which may become due and payable by the Company or such other obligor after such date, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim, and to distribute the same after the deduction of the amount payable to the Trustee under Section 7.06; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby authorized by each of the holders of Debentures of such series to make such payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to such Debentureholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it under Section 7.06. (d) All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the terms established with respect to Debentures of that series, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of such Debentures, or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for payment to the Trustee of any amounts due under Section 7.06, be for the ratable benefit of the holders of the Debentures of such series. In case of an Event of Default hereunder, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Debentureholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Debentures of that series or the rights of any holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Debentureholder in any such proceeding. SECTION 6.03. Any moneys collected by the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.02 with respect to a particular series of Debentures shall be applied in the order following, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such moneys on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, upon presentation of the several Debentures of that series, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: FIRST: To the payment of costs and expenses of collection and of all amounts payable to the Trustee under Section 7.06; and SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon Debentures of such series for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Debentures for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, respectively. SECTION 6.04. No holder of any Debenture of any series shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless such holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof with respect to Debentures of such series specifying such Event of Default, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures of such series then outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have failed to institute any such action, suit or proceeding; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and holder of every Debenture of such series with every other such taker and holder and Trustee, that no one or more holders of Debentures of such series shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the holders of any other of such Debentures, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all holders of Debentures of such series. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Debentureholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, however, the right of any holder of any Debenture to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Debenture, as therein provided, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Debenture (or in the case of redemption, on the redemption date), or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates or redemption date, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such holder. SECTION 6.05. (a) All powers and remedies given by this Article to the Trustee or to the Debentureholders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any others thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the holders of the debentures, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture or otherwise established with respect to such Debentures. (b) No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any holder of any of the Debentures to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.04, every power and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Debentureholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Debentureholders. SECTION 6.06. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures of any series at the time outstanding, determined in accordance with Section 8.04 (with, in the case of any series of Debentures held as trust assets of a SunAmerica Capital Trust and with respect to which a Security Exchange has not theretofore occurred, such consent of holders of the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities of such SunAmerica Capital Trust as may be required under the Declaration of Trust of such SunAmerica Capital Trust), shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to such series; provided, however, that such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture or unduly prejudicial to the rights of holders of Debentures of any other series at the time outstanding determined in accordance with Section 8.04 not parties thereto. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures of any series at the time outstanding affected thereby, determined in accordance with section 8.04 (with, in the case of any series of Debentures held as trust assets of a SunAmerica Capital Trust and with respect to which a Security Exchange has not theretofore occurred, such consent of holders of the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities of such SunAmerica Capital Trust as may be required under the Declaration of Trust of such SunAmerica Capital Trust), may on behalf of the holders of all of the Debentures of such series waive any past default in the performance of any of the covenants contained herein or established pursuant to section 2.01 with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any of the Debentures of that series as and when the same shall become due by the terms of such Debentures otherwise than by acceleration (unless such default has been cured and a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest and principal and any premium has been deposited with the Trustee (in accordance with Section 6.01(c)) or a call for redemption of Debentures of that series. Upon any such waiver, the default covered thereby shall be deemed to be cured for all purposes of this Indenture and the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Debentures of such series shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. SECTION 6.07. The Trustee shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of a default with respect to a particular series, transmit by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the holders of Debentures of that series, as their names and addresses appear upon the Debenture Register, notice of all defaults with respect to that series known to the Trustee, unless such defaults shall have been cured before the giving of such notice (the term "defaults" for the purposes of this Section being hereby defined to be the events specified in subsections (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5) of Section 6.01(a), not including any periods of grace provided for therein and irrespective of the giving of notice provided for by subsection (3) of Section 6.01(a)); provided, that, except in the case of default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any of the Debentures of that series or in the payment of any sinking fund installment established with respect to that series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee, or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers, of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the holders of Debentures of that series; provided further, that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 6.01(a)(3) with respect to Debentures of such series no such notice to the holders of the Debentures of that series shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any default, except (i) a default under subsection (a)(1) or (a)(2) of Section 6.01 as long as the Trustee is acting as paying agent for such series of Debentures or (ii) any default as to which the Trustee shall have received written notice or a Responsible Officer charged with the administration of this Indenture shall have obtained written notice. SECTION 6.08. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each holder of any Debentures by his or her acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Debentureholder, or group of Debentureholders, holding more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debentures of any series, or to any suit instituted by any Debentureholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Debenture of such series, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Debenture or established pursuant to this Indenture. ARTICLE SEVEN Concerning the Trustee SECTION 7.01. (a) The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to Debentures of a series and after the curing of all Events of Default with respect to Debentures of that series which may have occurred, shall undertake to perform with respect to Debentures of such series such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. In case an Event of Default with respect to Debentures of a series has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise with respect to Debentures of that series such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. (b) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: (1) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to Debentures of a series and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default with respect to that series which may have occurred: (i) the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall with respect to Debentures of such series be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to Debentures of such series except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and (ii) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may with respect to Debentures of such series conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture; (2) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; (3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Debentures of any series at the time outstanding relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Indenture with respect to the Debentures of that series; and (4) none of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it under the terms of this Indenture or adequate indemnity against such risk is not reasonably assured to it. SECTION 7.02. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01: (a) The Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, security or other paper or document believed by it to the genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; (b) Any request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution or an instrument signed in the name of the Company by the President or any Vice President and by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer (unless other evidence in respect thereof is specifically prescribed herein); (c) The Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon; (d) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Debentureholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Debentureholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing herein contained shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to a series of the Debentures (which has not been cured or waived) to exercise with respect to Debentures of that series such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs; (e) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture; (f) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, security, or other papers or documents, unless requested in writing so to do by the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Debentures of the particular series affected thereby (determined as provided in Section 8.04); provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such costs, expenses or liabilities as a condition to so proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Company or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be repaid by the Company upon demand; and (g) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder. SECTION 7.03. (a) The recitals contained herein and in the Debentures (other than the Certificate of Authentication on the Debentures) shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. (b) The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Debentures. (c) The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of any of the Debentures or of the proceeds of such Debentures, or for the use or application of any moneys paid over by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture or established pursuant to Section 2.01, or for the use or application of any moneys received by any paying agent other than the Trustee. SECTION 7.04. The Trustee or any paying agent or Debenture Registrar, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Debentures with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, paying agent or Debenture Registrar. SECTION 7.05. Subject to the provisions of Section 11.05, all moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder except such as it may agree with the Company to pay thereon. SECTION 7.06. (a) The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee, and the Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. The Company also covenants to indemnify the Trustee (and its officers, agents, directors and employees) for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in the premises. (b) The obligations of the Company under this Section to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder. Such additional indebtedness shall be secured by a lien prior to that of the Debentures upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the holders of particular Debentures. SECTION 7.07. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering or omitting to take any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee and such certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof. SECTION 7.08. (a) If the Trustee has or shall acquire any conflicting interest, as defined in this Section, with respect to the Debentures of any series and if the Default to which such conflicting interest relates has not been cured, duly waived or otherwise eliminated, within 90 days after ascertaining that it has such conflicting interest, it shall either eliminate such conflicting interest, except as otherwise provided herein, or resign with respect to the Debentures of that series in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 7.10 and the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee in the manner provided herein. (b) In the event that the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section, with respect to the Debentures of any series the Trustee shall, within ten days after the expiration of such 90-day period, transmit notice of such failure by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Debentureholders of that series as their names and addresses appear upon the registration books. (c) For the purposes of this Section the Trustee shall be deemed to have a conflicting interest with respect to the Debentures of any series if a Default has occurred and is continuing and: (1) the Trustee is trustee under this Indenture with respect to the outstanding Debentures of any series other than that series, or is trustee under another indenture under which any other securities, or certificates of interest or participation in any other securities, of the Company are outstanding, unless such other indenture is a collateral trust indenture under which the only collateral consists of Debentures issued under this Indenture; provided that there shall be excluded from the operation of this paragraph the Debentures of any series other than that series and any other indenture or indentures under which other securities, or certificates of interest or participation in other securities, of the Company are outstanding if (i) this Indenture and such other indenture or indentures and all series of securities issuable thereunder are wholly unsecured and rank equally and such other indenture or indentures (and such series) are hereafter qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, unless the Commission shall have found and declared by order pursuant to subsection (b) of Section 305 or subsection (c) of Section 307 of the Trust Indenture Act, that differences exist between (A) the provisions of this Indenture with respect to Debentures of that series and with respect to one or more other series or (B) the provisions of this Indenture and the provisions of such other indenture or indentures (or such series), which are so likely to involve a material conflict of interest as to make it necessary in the public interest or for the protection of investors to disqualify the Trustee from acting as such under this Indenture with respect to the Debentures of that series and such other series or such other indenture or indentures, or (ii) the Company shall have sustained the burden of proving, on application to the Commission and after opportunity for hearing thereon, that the trusteeship under this Indenture with respect to Debentures of that series and such other series or such other indenture or indentures is not so likely to involve a material conflict of interest as to make it necessary in the public interest or for the protection of investors to disqualify the Trustee from acting as such under this Indenture with respect to Debentures of that series and such other series or under such other indentures; (2) the Trustee or any of its directors or executive officers is an underwriter for the Company; (3) the Trustee directly or indirectly controls or is directly or indirectly controlled by or is under direct or indirect common control with or an underwriter for the Company; (4) the Trustee or any of its directors or executive officers is a director, officer, partner, employee, appointee or representative of the Company, or of an underwriter (other than the Trustee itself) for the Company who is currently engaged in the business of underwriting, except that (A) one individual may be a director and/or an executive officer of the Trustee and a director and/or an executive officer of the Company, but may not be at the same time an executive officer of both the Trustee and the Company; (B) if and so long as the number of directors of the Trustee in office is more than nine, one additional individual may be a director and/or an executive officer of the Trustee and a director of the Company; and (C) the Trustee may be designated by the Company or by an underwriter for the Company to act in the capacity of transfer agent, registrar, custodian, paying agent, fiscal agent, escrow agent, or depository, or in any other similar capacity, or, subject to the provisions of paragraph (1) of this subsection (c), to act as trustee whether under an indenture or otherwise; (5) 10% or more of the voting securities of the Trustee is beneficially owned either by the Company or by any director, partner, or executive officer thereof, or 20% or more of such voting securities is beneficially owned, collectively, by any two or more of such persons; or 10% or more of the voting securities of the Trustee is beneficially owned either by an underwriter for the Company or by any director, partner, or executive officer thereof, or is beneficially owned, collectively by any two or more such persons; (6) the Trustee is the beneficial owner of, or holds as collateral security for an obligation which is in default (as hereinafter in this subsection (c) defined), (A) 5% or more of the voting securities, or 10% or more of any other class of security, of the Company, not including the Debentures issued under this Indenture and securities issued under any other indenture under which the Trustee is also trustee, or (B) 10% or more of any class of security of an underwriter for the Company; (7) the Trustee is the beneficial owner of, or holds as collateral security for an obligation which is in default (as hereinafter in this subsection (c) defined), 5% or more of the voting securities of any person who, to the knowledge of the Trustee, owns 10% or more of the voting securities of, or controls directly or indirectly or is under direct or indirect common control with, the Company; (8) the Trustee is the beneficial owner of, or holds as collateral security for an obligation which is in default (as hereinafter in this subsection (c) defined), 10% or more of any class of security of any person who, to the knowledge of the Trustee, owns 50% or more of the voting securities of the Company; (9) the Trustee owns, on the date of Default upon the Debentures of any series or any anniversary of such Default while such Default upon the Debentures issued under this Indenture remains outstanding, in the capacity of executor, administrator, testamentary or inter vivos trustee, guardian, committee or conservator, or in any other similar capacity, an aggregate of 25% or more of the voting securities, or of any class of security, of any person, the beneficial ownership of a specified percentage of which would have constituted a conflict interest under paragraph (6), (7), or (8) of this subsection (c). As to any such securities of which the Trustee acquired ownership through becoming executor, administrator or testamentary trustee of an estate which includes them, the provisions of the preceding sentence shall not apply, for a period of two years from the date of such acquisition, to the extent that such securities in such estate do not exceed 25% of such voting securities or 25% of any such class of security. Promptly after the dates of any such Default upon the Debentures issued under this Indenture and annually in each succeeding year that the Debentures issued under this Indenture remain in Default, the Trustee shall make a check of its holding of such securities in any of the above-mentioned capacities as of such dates. If the Company fails to make payment in full of principal of or interest on any of the Debentures when and as the same becomes due and payable, and such failure continues for 30 days thereafter, the Trustee shall make a prompt check of its holding of such securities in any of the above-mentioned capacities as of the date of the expiration of such 30-day period, and after such date, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (9), all such securities so held by the Trustee, with sole or joint control over such securities vested in it, shall, but only so long as such failure shall continue, be considered as though beneficially owned by the Trustee for the purposes of paragraphs (6), (7) and (8) of this subsection (c); or (10) except under the circumstances described in paragraph (1), (3), (4), (5) or (6) of subsection (b) of Section 7.13 the Trustee shall be or shall become a creditor of the Company. For purposes of paragraph (1) of this subsection (c), and of Section 6.06, the term "series of securities" or "securities" means a series, class or group of securities issuable under an indenture pursuant to whose terms holders of one such series may vote to direct the indenture trustee, or otherwise take action pursuant to a vote of such holders, separately from holders of another such series; provided, that, "series of securities" or "series" shall not include any series of securities issuable under an indenture if all such series rank equally and are wholly secured. The specification of percentages in paragraphs (5) to (9), inclusive, of this subsection (c) shall not be construed as indicating that the ownership of such percentages of securities of a person is or is not necessary or sufficient to constitute direct or indirect control for the purposes of paragraph (3) or (7) of this subsection (c). For the purposes of paragraphs (6), (7), (8) and (9) of this subsection (c) only, (A) the terms "security" and "securities" shall include only such securities as are generally known as corporate securities, but shall not include any note or other evidence of indebtedness issued to evidence an obligation to repay moneys lent to a person by one or more banks, trust companies or banking firms, or any certificate of interest or participation in any such note or evidence of indebtedness; (B) an obligation shall be deemed to be in "default", when a default in payment of principal shall have continued for 30 days or more and shall not have been cured; and (C) the Trustee shall not be deemed to be the owner or holder of (i) any security which it holds as collateral security (as trustee or otherwise) for any obligation which is not in default as defined in clause (B) above, or (ii) any security which it holds as collateral security under this Indenture, irrespective of any Default hereunder, or (iii) any security which it holds as agent for collection, or as custodian, escrow agent or depositary, or in any similar representative capacity. Except as above provided, the word "security" or securities" as used in this Indenture shall mean any note, stock, treasury stock, bond, debenture, evidence of indebtedness, certificate of interest or participation in any profit-sharing agreement, collateral trust certificate, pre-organization certificate or subscription, transferable share, investment contract, voting trust certificate, certificate of deposit for a security, fractional undivided interest in oil, gas, or other mineral rights, or, in general, any interest or instrument commonly known as a "security", or any certificate of interest or participation in, temporary or interim certificate for, receipt for, guarantee of, or warrant or right to subscribe to or purchase, any of the foregoing. (d) For the purposes of this Section: (1) The term "underwriter" when used with reference to the Company shall mean every person, who, within one year prior to the time as of which the determination is made, has purchased from the Company with a view to, or has offered or sold for the Company in connection with, the distribution of any security of the Company, or has participated or has had a direct or indirect participation in any such undertaking, or has participated or has had a participation in the direct or indirect underwriting of any such undertaking, but such term shall not include a person whose interest was limited to a commission from an underwriter or dealer not in excess of the usual and customary distributors' or sellers' commission. (2) The term "director" shall mean any member of the board of directors of a corporation or any individual performing similar functions with respect to any organization whether incorporated or unincorporated. (3) The term "person" shall mean an individual, a corporation, a partnership, an association, a joint-stock company, a trust, an unincorporated organization or a government or political subdivision thereof. As used in this paragraph, the term "trust" shall include only a trust where the interest or interests of the beneficiary or beneficiaries are evidenced by a security. (4) The term "voting security" shall mean any security presently entitling the owner or holder thereof to vote in the direction or management of the affairs of a person, or any security issued under or pursuant to any trust, agreement or arrangement whereby a trustee or trustees or agent or agents for the owner or holder of such security are presently entitled to vote in the direction or management of the affairs of a person. (5) The term "Company" shall mean any obligor upon the Debentures. (6) The term "executive officer" shall mean the chairman of the board of directors, president, every vice president, every assistant vice president, every trust officer, the cashier, the secretary, and the treasurer of a corporation, and any individual customarily performing similar functions with respect to any organization whether incorporated or unincorporated. (e) The percentages of voting securities and other securities specified in this Section shall be calculated in accordance with the following provisions: (1) A specified percentage of the voting securities of the Trustee, the Company or any other person referred to in this Section (each of whom is referred to as a "person" in this paragraph) means such amount of the outstanding voting securities of such person as entitles the holder or holders thereof to cast such specified percentage of the aggregate votes which the holders of all the outstanding voting securities of such person are entitled to cast in the direction or management of the affairs of such person. (2) A specified percentage of a class of securities of a person means such percentage of the aggregate amount of securities of the class outstanding. (3) The term "amount", when used in regard to securities, means the principal amount if relating to evidences of indebtedness, the number of shares if relating to capital shares and the number of units if relating to any other kind of security. (4) The term "outstanding" means issued and not held by or for the account of the issuer. The following securities shall not be deemed outstanding within the meaning of this definition: (i) securities of an issuer held in a sinking fund relating to securities of the issuer of the same class; (ii) securities of an issuer held in a sinking fund relating to another class of securities of the issuer, if the obligation evidenced by such other class of securities is not in default as to principal or interest or otherwise; (iii) securities pledged by the issuer thereof as security for an obligation of the issuer not in default as to principal or interest or otherwise; and (iv) securities held in escrow if placed in escrow by the issuer thereof, provided, however, that any voting securities of an issuer shall be deemed outstanding if any person other than the issuer is entitled to exercise the voting rights thereof. (5) A security shall be deemed to be of the same class as another security if both securities confer upon the holder or holders thereof substantially the same rights and privileges; provided, however, that, in the case of secured evidences of indebtedness, all of which are issued under a single indenture, differences in the interest rates or maturity dates of various series thereof shall not be deemed sufficient to constitute such series different classes; and provided, further, that, in the case of unsecured evidences of indebtedness, differences in the interest rates or maturity dates thereof shall not be deemed sufficient to constitute them securities of different classes, whether or not they are issued under a single indenture. (f) Except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Debentures issued under this Indenture, or in the payment of any sinking or analogous fund installment, the Trustee shall not be required to resign as provided by this Section 7.08 if such Trustee shall have sustained the burden of proving, on application to the Commission and after opportunity for hearing thereon, that (i) the default under the Indenture may be cured or waived during a reasonable period and under the procedures described in such application and (ii) a stay of the Trustee's duty to resign will not be inconsistent with the interests of Debentureholders. The filing of such an application shall automatically stay the performance of the duty to resign until the Commission orders otherwise. Any resignation of the Trustee shall become effective only upon the appointment of a successor trustee and such successor's acceptance of such an appointment. SECTION 7.09. There shall at all times be a Trustee with respect to the Debentures issued hereunder which shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or any State or Territory thereof or of the District of Columbia, or a corporation or other person permitted to act as trustee by the Commission, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least 50 million dollars, and subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State, Territorial, or District of Columbia authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. The Company may not, nor may any person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Company, serve as Trustee. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 7.10. SECTION 7.10. (a) The Trustee or any successor hereafter appointed, may at any time resign with respect to the Debentures of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company and by transmitting notice of resignation by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Debentureholders of such series, as their names and addresses appear upon the Debenture Register. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee with respect to Debentures of such series by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the mailing of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee with respect to Debentures of such series, or any Debentureholder of that series who has been a bona fide holder of a Debenture or Debentures for at least six months may, subject to the provisions of Section 6.08, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appointment a successor trustee. (b) In case at any time any of the following shall occur: (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of subsection (a) of Section 7.08 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Debentureholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Debenture or Debentures for at least six months; or (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.09 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Debentureholder; or (3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then, in any such case, the Company may remove the Trustee with respect to all Debentures and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of Section 6.08, unless the Trustee's duty to resign is stated as provided herein, any Debentureholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Debenture or Debentures for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee. (c) The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures of any series at the time outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee with respect to such series and appoint a successor trustee. (d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee with respect to the Debentures of a series pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 7.11. (e) Any successor trustee appointed pursuant to this Section may be appointed with respect to the Debentures of one or more series or all of such series, and at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Debentures of any particular series. SECTION 7.11. (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor trustee with respect to all Debentures, every such successor trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights, powers, and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. (b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor trustee with respect to the Debentures of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor trustee with respect to the Debentures of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Debentures of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates, (2) shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Debentures of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co- trustees of the same trust, that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee and that no Trustee shall be responsible for any act or failure to act on the part of any other Trustee hereunder; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein, such retiring Trustee shall with respect to the Debentures of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates have no further responsibility for the exercise of rights and powers or for the performance of the duties and obligations vested in the Trustee under this Indenture, and each such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Debentures of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor trustee, to the extent contemplated by such supplemental indenture, the property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Debentures of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates. (c) Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights, power and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case may be. (d) No successor trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article. (e) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section, the Company shall transmit notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Debentureholders, as their names and addresses appear upon the Debenture Register. If the Company fails to transmit such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be transmitted at the expense of the Company. SECTION 7.12. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 7.08 and eligible under the provisions of Section 7.09, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In case any Debentures shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Debentures so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Debentures. SECTION 7.13. (a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, if the Trustee shall be or shall become a creditor, directly or indirectly, secured or unsecured, of the Company within three months prior to a default, as defined in subsection (b) of this Section, or subsequent to such a default, then, unless and until such default shall be cured, the Trustee shall set apart and hold in a special account for the benefit of the Trustee individually, the holders of the Debentures and the holders of other indenture securities (as defined in subsection (c) of this Section): (1) an amount equal to any and all reductions in the amount due and owing upon any claim as such creditor in respect of principal or interest, effected after the beginning of such three months' period and valid as against the Company and its other creditors, except any such reduction resulting from the receipt or disposition of any property described in paragraph (2) of this subsection, or from the exercise of any right of set-off which the Trustee could have exercised if a petition in bankruptcy had been filed by or against the Company upon the date of such default; and (2) all property received by the Trustee in respect of any claim as such creditor, either as security therefor, or in satisfaction or composition thereof, or otherwise, after the beginning of such three months' period, or an amount equal to the proceeds of any such property, if disposed of, subject, however, to the rights, if any, of the Company and its other creditors in such property or such proceeds. Nothing herein contained, however, shall affect the right of the Trustee: (A) to retain for its own account (i) payments made on account of any such claim by any person (other than the Company) who is liable thereon, and (ii) the proceeds of the bona fide sale of any such claim by the Trustee to a third person, and (iii) distributions made in cash, securities, or other property in respect of claims filed against the Company in bankruptcy or receivership or in a case for reorganization pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Code or applicable State law; (B) to realize, for its own account, upon any property held by it as security for any such claim, if such property was so held prior to the beginning of such three months' period; (C) to realize, for its own account, but only to the extent of the claim hereinafter mentioned, upon any property held by it as security for any such claim, if such claim was created after the beginning of such three months' period and such property was received as security therefor simultaneously with the creation thereof, and if the Trustee shall sustain the burden of proving that at the time such property was so received the Trustee had no reasonable cause to believe that a default, as defined in subsection (c) of this Section, would occur within three months; or (D) to receive payment on any claim referred to in paragraph (B) or (C), against the release of any property held as security for such claim as provided in such paragraph (B) or (C), as the case may be, to the extent of the fair value of such property. For the purposes of paragraphs (B), (C) and (D), property substituted after the beginning of such three months' period for property held as security at the time of such substitution shall, to the extent of the fair value of the property released, have the same status as the property released, and, to the extent that any claim referred to in any of such paragraphs is created in renewal of or in substitution for or for the purpose of repaying or refunding any pre-existing claim of the Trustee as such creditor, such claim shall have the same status as such pre-existing claim. If the Trustee shall be required to account, the funds and property held in such special account and the proceeds thereof shall be apportioned between the Trustee, the Debentureholders and the holders of other indenture securities in such manner that the Trustee, the Debentureholders and the holders of other indenture securities realize, as a result of payments from such special account and payments of dividends on claims filed against the Company in bankruptcy or receivership or in a case for reorganization pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Code or applicable State law, the same percentage of their respective claims, figured before crediting to the claim of the Trustee anything on account of the receipt by it from the Company of the funds and property in such special account and before crediting to the respective claims of the Trustee, the Debentureholders and the holders of other indenture securities dividends on claims filed against the Company in bankruptcy or receivership or in a case for reorganization pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Code or applicable State law, but after crediting thereon receipts on account of the indebtedness represented by their respective claims from all sources other than from such dividends and from the funds and property so held in such special account. As used in this paragraph, with respect to any claim, the term "dividends" shall include any distribution with respect to such claim, in bankruptcy or receivership or in a case for reorganization pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Code or applicable State law, whether such distribution is made in cash, securities, or other property, but shall not include any such distribution with respect to the secured portion, if any, of such claim. The court in which such bankruptcy, receivership or a case for reorganization is pending shall have jurisdiction (i) to apportion between the Trustee, the Debentureholders and the holders of other indenture securities, in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph, the funds and property held in such special account and the proceeds thereof, or (ii) in lieu of such apportionment, in whole or in part, to give to the provisions of this paragraph due consideration in determining the fairness of the distributions to be made to the Trustee, the Debentureholders and the holders of other indenture securities with respect to their respective claims, in which event it shall not be necessary to liquidate or to appraise the value of any securities or other property held in such special account or as security for any such claim, or to make a specific allocation of such distributions as between the secured and unsecured portions of such claims, or otherwise to apply the provisions of this paragraph as a mathematical formula. Any Trustee who has resigned or been removed after the beginning of such three months' period shall be subject to the provisions of this subsection (a) as though such resignation or removal had not occurred. If any Trustee has resigned or been removed prior to the beginning of such three months' period, it shall be subject to the provisions of this subsection (a) if and only if the following conditions exist: (i) the receipt of property or reduction of claim which would have given rise to the obligation to account, if such Trustee had continued as trustee, occurred after the beginning of such three months' period; and (ii) such receipt of property or reduction of claim occurred within three months after such resignation or removal. (b) There shall be excluded from the operation of subsection (a) of this Section a creditor relationship arising from: (1) the ownership or acquisition of securities issued under any indenture, or any security or securities having a maturity of one year or more at the time of acquisition by the Trustee; (2) advances authorized by a receivership or bankruptcy court of competent jurisdiction, or by this Indenture, for the purpose of preserving any property other than cash which shall at any time be subject to the lien, if any, of this Indenture or of discharging tax liens or other prior liens or encumbrances thereon, if notice of such advance and of the circumstances surrounding the making thereof is given to the Debentureholders at the time and in the manner provided in this Indenture; (3) disbursements made in the ordinary course of business in the capacity of trustee under an indenture, transfer agent, registrar, custodian, paying agent, subscription agent, fiscal agent or depositary, or other similar capacity; (4) an indebtedness created as a result of services rendered or premises rented; or an indebtedness created as a result of goods or securities sold in a cash transaction as defined in subsection (c) of this Section; (5) the ownership of stock or of other securities of a Company organized under the provisions of Section 25(a) of the Federal Reserve Act, as amended, which is directly or indirectly a creditor of the Company; or (6) the acquisition, ownership, acceptance or negotiation of any drafts, bills of exchange, acceptance or obligations which fall within the classification of self-liquidating paper as defined in subsection (c) of this Section. (c) As used in this Section: (1) The term "default" shall mean any failure to make payment in full of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest upon any of the Debenture or upon the other indenture securities when and as such principal (or premium, if any) or interest becomes due and payable. (2) The term "other indenture securities" shall mean securities upon which the Company is an obligor (as defined in the Trust Indenture Act) outstanding under any other indenture (A) under which the Trustee is also trustee, (B) which contains provisions substantially similar to the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section, and (C) under which a default exists at the time of the apportionment of the funds and property held in said special account. (3) The term "cash transaction" shall mean any transaction in which full payment for goods or securities sold is made within seven days after delivery of the goods or securities in currency or in checks or other orders drawn upon banks or bankers and payable upon demand. (4) The term "self-liquidating paper" shall mean any draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation which is made, drawn, negotiated or incurred by the Company for the purpose of financing the purchase, processing, manufacture, shipment, storage or sale of goods, wares or merchandise and which is secured by documents evidencing title to, possession of, or a lien upon, the goods, wares or merchandise or the receivables or proceeds arising from the sale of the goods, wares or merchandise previously constituting the security, provided the security is received by the Trustee simultaneously with the creation of the creditor relationship with the Company arising from the making, drawing, negotiating or incurring of the draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation. (5) The term "Company" shall mean any obligor upon any of the Debentures. ARTICLE EIGHT Concerning the Debentureholders SECTION 8.01. Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the holders of a majority or specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures of a particular series may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action) the fact that at the time of taking any such action the holders of such majority or specified percentage of that series have joined therein may be evidenced by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by such holders of Debentures of that series in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing. If the Company shall solicit from the Debentureholders of any series any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, the Company may, at its option, as evidenced by an Officers' Certificate, fix in advance a record date for such series for the determination of Debentureholders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action may be given before or after the record date, but only the Debentureholders of record at the close of business on the record date shall be deemed to be Debentureholders for the purposes of determining whether Debentureholders of the requisite proportion of outstanding Debentures of that series have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, and for that purpose the outstanding Debentures of that series shall be computed as of the record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by such Debentureholders on the record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record date. SECTION 8.02. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Debentureholder (such proof will not require notarization) or his agent or proxy and proof of the holding by any person of any of the Debentures shall be sufficient if made in the following manner; (a) The fact and date of the execution by any such person of any instrument may be proved in any reasonable manner acceptable to the Trustee. (b) The ownership of Debentures shall be proved by the Debenture Register of such Debentures or by a certificate of the Debenture Registrar thereof. (c) The Trustee may require such additional proof of any matter referred to in this Section as it shall deem necessary. SECTION 8.03. Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of any Debenture, the Company, the Trustee, any paying agent and any Debenture Registrar may deem and treat the person in whose name such Debenture shall be registered upon the books of the Company as the absolute owner of such Debenture (whether or not such Debenture shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing thereon made by anyone other than the Debenture Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of, premium, if any, and (subject to Section 2.03) interest on such Debenture and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any paying agent nor any Debenture Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. SECTION 8.04. In determining whether the holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Debentures of a particular series have concurred in any direction, consent or waiver under this Indenture, Debentures of that series which are owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Debentures of that series or by any Subsidiary of the Company or of such other obligor on the Debentures of that series shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such determination, except that for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver, only Debentures of such series which the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Debentures so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding for the purposes of this Section, if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee's right so to act with respect to such Debentures and that the pledgee is not a person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any such other obligor. In case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee. SECTION 8.05. At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 8.01, of the taking of any action by the holders of the majority or percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures of a particular series specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any holder of a Debenture of that series which is shown by the evidence to be included in the Debentures the holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee, and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 8.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Debenture. Except as aforesaid any such action taken by the holder of any Debenture shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders and owners of such Debenture, and of any Debenture issued in exchange therefor, on registration of transfer thereof or in place thereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Debenture. Any action taken by the holders of the majority or percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures of a particular series specified in this Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Company, the Trustee and the holders of all the Debentures of that series. ARTICLE NINE Supplemental Indentures SECTION 9.01. In addition to any supplemental indenture otherwise authorized by this Indenture, the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect), without the consent of the Debentureholders, for one or more of the following purposes: (a) to evidence the succession of another corporation to the Company, and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Company contained herein or otherwise established with respect to the Debentures; or (b) to add to the covenants of the Company such further covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions for the protection of the holders of the Debentures of all or any series as the Board of Directors and the Trustee shall consider to be for the protection of the holders of Debentures of all or any series, and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance, of a default in any of such additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions a default or an Event of Default with respect to such series permitting the enforcement of all or any of the several remedies provided in this Indenture as herein set forth; provided, however, that in respect of any such additional covenant, restriction, condition or provision such supplemental indenture may provide for a particular period of grace after default (which period may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of other defaults) or may provide for an immediate enforcement upon such default or may limit the remedies available to the Trustee upon such default or may limit the right of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures of such series to waive such default; or (c) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture, or to make such other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising under this Indenture as shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture and shall not adversely affect the interests of the holders of the Debentures of any series; or (d) to change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture, provided that any such change or elimination shall become effective only when there is no Debenture outstanding of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture which is entitled to the benefit of such provision. The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Company in the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section may be executed by the Company and the Trustee without the consent of the holders of any of the Debentures at the time outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 9.02. SECTION 9.02. With the consent (evidenced as provided in Section 8.01) of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures of each series affected by such supplemental indenture or indentures at the time outstanding (and, in the case of any series of Debentures held as trust assets of a SunAmerica Capital Trust and with respect to which a Security Exchange has not theretofore occurred, such consent of holders of the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities of such SunAmerica Capital Trust as may be required under the Declaration of Trust of such SunAmerica Capital Trust), the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of the Debentures of such series under this Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall (i) extend the fixed maturity of any Debentures of any series, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, without the consent of the holder of each Debenture so affected or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Debentures, the holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of each Debenture (and, in the case of any series of Debentures held as trust assets of a SunAmerica Capital Trust and with respect to which a Security Exchange has not theretofore occurred, such consent of the holders of the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities of such SunAmerica Capital Trust as may be required under the Declaration of Trust of such SunAmerica Capital Trust) then outstanding and affected thereby. Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of Debentureholders (and, in the case of any series of Debentures held as trust assets of a SunAmerica Capital Trust and with respect to which a Security Exchange has not theretofore occurred, such consent of holders of the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities of such SunAmerica Capital Trust as may be required under the Declaration of Trust of such SunAmerica Capital Trust) required to consent thereto as aforesaid, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion but shall not be obligated to enter into such supplemental indenture. It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Debentureholders of any series affected thereby under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. Promptly after the execution by the Company and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall transmit by mail, first class postage prepaid, a notice, setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture, to the Debentureholders of all series affected thereby as their names and addresses appear upon the Debenture Register. Any failure of the Trustee to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture. SECTION 9.03. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article or of Section 10.01, this Indenture shall, with respect to such series, be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Company and the holders of Debentures of the series affected thereby shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes. SECTION 9.04. Debentures of any series, affected by a supplemental indenture, authenticated and delivered after the execution of such supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article or of Section 10.01, may bear a notation in form approved by the Company, provided such form meets the requirements of any exchange upon which such series may be listed, as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Debentures of that series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, to any modification of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may be prepared by the Company, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered in exchange for the Debentures of that series then outstanding. SECTION 9.05. The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, may receive an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article is authorized or permitted by, and conforms to, the terms of this Article and that it is proper for the Trustee under the provisions of this Article to join in the execution thereof. ARTICLE TEN Consolidation, Merger, Sale or Conveyance SECTION 10.01. The Company shall not consolidate with or merge into any other Person or transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, and the Company shall not permit any other Person to consolidate with or merge into the Company, unless: (a) either the Company shall be the continuing corporation, or the corporation (if other than the Company) formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which the properties and assets of the Company substantially as an entity are transferred or leased shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof or the District of Columbia and shall expressly assume, by an indenture supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, all the obligations of the Company under the Debentures and this Indenture; and (b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction no Event of Default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have happened and be continuing. SECTION 10.02 The successor corporation formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which such transfer or lease is made shall succeed to and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor corporation had been named as the Company herein, and thereafter (except in the case of a lease to another Person) the predecessor corporation shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under the Indenture and the Debentures and, in the event of such conveyance or transfer, any such predecessor corporation may be dissolved and liquidated. SECTION 10.03. The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, may receive an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or other disposition, and any such assumption, comply with the provisions of this Article.

SECTION 14.03 In the event that, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 14.02, any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (other than securities of the Company as reorganized or readjusted or securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment the payment of which is subordinate, at least to the extent provided in this Article Fourteen with respect to the Debentures, to the payment of all indebtedness of the nature of Senior Indebtedness, provided that the rights of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness are not altered by such reorganization or readjustment) shall be received by the holders or by the Trustee for their benefit in connection with any proceedings or sale referred to in subsection (a) of Section 14.02 before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full in money, such payment or distribution shall be paid over to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of the Senior Indebtedness held or represented by each, for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid until all such Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full in money, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness. From and after the payment in full in money of all Senior Indebtedness, the holders of Debentures (together with the holders of any other indebtedness of the Company which is subordinate in right of payment to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, which is not subordinate in right of payment to the Debentures and which by its terms grants such right of subrogation to the holder thereof) shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of assets or securities of the Company applicable to the Senior Indebtedness until the Debentures shall be paid in full, and, for the purposes of such subrogation, no such payments or distributions to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of assets or securities, which otherwise would have been payable or distributable to holders of Debentures , shall, as between the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the holders, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of the Senior Indebtedness, it being understood that the provisions of this Article Fourteen are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the holders, on the one hand, and the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand, and nothing contained in this Article Fourteen or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Debentures is intended to or shall impair as between the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the holders, the obligation of the Company, which is unconditional and absolute, to pay to the holders the principal of and interest on the Debentures as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or to affect the relative rights of the holders and creditors of the Company other than the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Trustee or the holder of any Debenture from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture subject to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness, under Section 14.02, to receive cash, property or securities of the Company otherwise payable or deliverable to the holders of the Debentures. Upon any distribution or payment in connection with any proceedings or sale referred to in subsection (a) of Section 14.02, the Trustee, subject as between the Trustee and the holders to the provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02 hereof, shall be entitled to rely upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other person making any distribution or payment to the Trustee for the purpose of ascertaining the holders of Senior Indebtedness entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the amount of such Senior Indebtedness or the amount payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article Fourteen . In the event that the Trustee determines, in good faith, that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Section 14.03, the Trustee may request such person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such person, as to the extent to which such person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, and as to other facts pertinent to the rights of such person under this Section 14.03, and if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such person pending judicial determination as to the right of such person to receive such payment. The Trustee, however, shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall in good faith pay over or distribute to holders of Debentures or the Company or any other person moneys or assets to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of Article Fourteen of this Indenture or otherwise. SECTION 14.04 Nothing contained in this Article Fourteen or elsewhere in this Indenture, or in any of the Debentures, shall prevent at any time, (a) the Company from making payments at any time of principal of or interest on the Debentures, except under the conditions described in Section 14.02 or during the pendency of any proceedings or sale therein referred to, provided, however, that payments of principal of or interest on the Debentures shall only be made by the Company within three business days of the due dates for such payments or (b) the application by the Trustee of any moneys deposited with it hereunder to the payment of or on account of the principal of or interest on the Debentures, if at the time of such deposit the Trustee did not have written notice in accordance with Section 14.06 of any event prohibiting the making of such deposit by the Company or if in the event of redemption, the Trustee did not have such written notice prior to the time that the notice of redemption pursuant to Section 3.02 was given (which notice of redemption shall in no event be given more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption). SECTION 14.05 Each Debentureholder by his acceptance of a Debenture authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article Fourteen and appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes, including, in the event of any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise) tending towards liquidation of the business and assets of the Company, the immediate filing of a claim for the unpaid balance of such Debentureholder's Debentures in the form required in said proceedings and cause said claim to be approved. SECTION 14.06 Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article Fourteen or any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with the knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment of moneys to the Trustee, unless and until the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the Company or from the holder or the representative of any class of Senior Indebtedness; provided, however, that if at least two business days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any such monies may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of either the cash amount payable at maturity or interest on any Debenture) the Trustee shall not have received with respect to such monies the notice provided for in this Section 14.06, then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such monies and to apply the same to the purpose for which they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary, which may be received by it on or after such two business days prior to such date. SECTION 14.07 The Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article Fourteen with respect to any Senior Indebtedness which may at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness. SECTION 14.08 In case at any time any paying agent other than the Trustee shall be appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term "Trustee" as used in this Article Fourteen shall in such case (unless the context shall otherwise require) be construed as extending to and including such paying agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such paying agent were named in this Article Fourteen in place of the Trustee. The First National Bank of Chicago, as Trustee, hereby accepts the trust in this Indenture declared and provided, upon the terms and conditions hereinabove set forth. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Indenture to be duly executed, and their respective corporate seals to be hereunto affixed and attested, all as of the day and year first above written.

The amount of interest payable for any period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and for any period shorter than a full quarterly interest period for which interest is computed, the amount of interest payable will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in such a 30-day month. In the event that any date on which interest is payable on the Series A Debentures is not a business day, then payment of interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a business day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay), except that, if such business day is in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding business day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on such date. ARTICLE TWO Optional Redemption of the Series A Debentures SECTION 2.01. Except as provided in Section 2.02, Series A Debentures may not be redeemed by the Company prior to June 15, 1997. Subject to the terms of Article Three of the Indenture, the Company shall have the right to redeem the Series A Debentures, in whole or in part, from time to time, on or after June 15, 1997, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, including Compounded Interest, if any, to the date of such redemption (the "Optional Redemption Price"). Any redemption pursuant to this paragraph will be made upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, at the Optional Redemption Price. SECTION 2.02. If, at any time, a Tax Event (as defined below) shall occur or be continuing after receipt of a Dissolution Tax Opinion (as defined below) and (i) the Regular Trustees and the Company shall have received an opinion (a "Redemption Tax Opinion") of a nationally recognized independent tax counsel experienced in such matters that, as a result of a Tax Event, there is more than an insubstantial risk that the Company would be precluded from deducting the interest on the Series A Debentures for United States federal income tax purposes even if the Series A Debentures were distributed to the holders of Preferred Securities and Common Securities in liquidation of such holder's interest in SunAmerica Capital I as set forth in the Declaration of Trust or (ii) the Regular Trustees shall have been informed by such tax counsel that a No Recognition Opinion (as defined below) cannot be delivered to SunAmerica Capital I, the Company shall have the right at any time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice, to redeem the Series A Debentures in whole or in part for cash at the Optional Redemption Price within 90 days following the occurrence of such Tax Event; provided, however, that, if at the time there is available to the Company or the Regular Trustees on behalf of SunAmerica Capital I the opportunity to eliminate, within such 90 day period, the Tax Event by taking some ministerial action ("Ministerial Action"), such as filing a form or making an election, or pursuing some other similar reasonable measure, which has no adverse effect on SunAmerica Capital I, the Company or the holders of the Preferred Securities, the Company or the Regular Trustees on behalf of SunAmerica Capital I will pursue such measure in lieu of redemption and provided further that the Company shall have no right to redeem the Series A Debentures while the Regular Trustees on behalf of SunAmerica Capital I are pursuing any such Ministerial Action. "Tax Event" means that the Company and the Regular Trustees shall have obtained an opinion of nationally recognized independent tax counsel experienced in such matters (a "Dissolution Tax Opinion") to the effect that on or after (*)(*) , 1995, as a result of (a) any amendment to, or change (including any announced prospective change) in, the laws (or any regulations thereunder) of the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, (b) any amendment to, or change in, an interpretation or application of any such laws or regulations by any legislative body, court, governmental agency or regulatory authority (including the enactment of any legislation and the publication of any judicial decision or regulatory determination), (c) any interpretation or pronouncement that provides for a position with respect to such laws or regulations that differs from the theretofore generally accepted position or (d) any action taken by any governmental agency or regulatory authority, which amendment or change is enacted, promulgated, issued or announced or which interpretation or pronouncement is issued or announced or which action is taken, in each case on or after (**) , 1995, there is more than an insubstantial risk that (i) SunAmerica Capital I is, or will be within 90 days of the date thereof, subject to United States federal income tax with respect to income accrued or received on the Series A Debentures, (ii) SunAmerica Capital I is, or will be within 90 days of the date thereof, subject to more than a de minimis amount of taxes, duties or other governmental charges or (iii) interest payable by the Company to SunAmerica Capital I on the Series A Debentures is not, or within 90 days of the date thereof will not be, deductible by the Company for United States federal income tax purposes. - ------------ (*)(*) Insert Expiration Date. "No Recognition Opinion" means an opinion of a nationally recognized independent tax counsel experienced in such matters, which opinion may rely on any then applicable published revenue ruling of the Internal Revenue Service, to the effect that the holders of the Preferred Securities will not recognize any gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of a dissolution of SunAmerica Capital I and distribution of the Series A Debentures as provided in the Declaration of Trust. SECTION 2.03. If the Series A Debentures are only partially redeemed pursuant to this Article Two, the Series A Debentures will be redeemed pro rata or by lot or by any other method utilized by the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a partial redemption of the Series A Debentures would result in the delisting of the Preferred Securities by any national securities exchange or other organization on which the Preferred Securities are then listed, the Company shall not be permitted to effect such partial redemption and will only redeem the Series A Debentures in whole. ARTICLE THREE Extension of Interest Payment Period SECTION 3.01. So long as the Company is not in default in the payment of interest on the Series A Debentures, the Company shall have the right, at any time during the term of the Series A Debentures, from time to time to extend the interest payment period of such Series A Debentures (other than with respect to Pre-issuance Interest) for up to 20 consecutive quarterly interest periods (the "Extended Interest Payment Period"), at the end of which period the Company shall pay all interest accrued and unpaid thereon (together with interest thereon at the rate of __% per annum to the extent permitted by applicable law, compounded quarterly ("Compounded Interest")). During such Extended Interest Payment Period the Company shall not declare or pay any dividend on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a distribution or liquidation payment with respect to, any of its common stock or preferred stock, or make any guarantee payments with respect thereto; provided that the Company may pay accrued dividends (and cash in lieu of fractional shares) upon conversion of its Series D Mandatory Conversion Premium Dividend Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms of such stock. Prior to the termination of any such Extended Interest Payment Period, the Company may pay all or any portion of the interest accrued on the Series A Debentures on any Interest Payment Date to holders of record on the regular record date for such Interest Payment Date or from time to time further extend such Period, provided that such Period together with all such further extensions thereof shall not exceed 20 consecutive quarterly interest periods. Upon the termination of any Extended Interest Payment Period and upon the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest then due, together with Compounded Interest, the Company may select a new Extended Interest Payment Period, subject to the foregoing requirements. No interest shall be due and payable during an Extended Interest Payment Period, except at the end thereof. At the end of the Extended Interest Payment Period the Company shall pay all interest accrued and unpaid on the Series A Debentures including any Compounded Interest which shall be payable to the holders of the Series A Debentures in whose names the Series A Debentures are registered in the Debenture register on the first record date after the end of the Extended Interest Payment Period. SECTION 3.02. (a) So long as the Property Trustee is the legal owner and holder of record of the Series A Debentures, at the time the Company selects an Extended Interest Payment Period, the Company shall give both the Property Trustee and the Trustee written notice of its selection of such Extended Interest Payment Period one business day prior to the earlier of (i) the next succeeding date on which distributions on the Preferred Securities are payable or (ii) the date SunAmerica Capital I is required to give notice of the record date or the date such distributions are payable to the New York Stock Exchange or other applicable self-regulatory organization or to holders of the Preferred Securities, but in any event not less than one business day prior to such record date. The Company shall cause SunAmerica Capital I to give notice of the Company's selection of such Extended Interest Payment Period to the holders of the Preferred Securities. (b) If as a result of a Dissolution Event Series A Debentures have been distributed to holders of Preferred Securities and Common Securities, at the time the Company selects an Extended Interest Payment Period, the Company shall give the holders of the Series A Debentures and the Trustee written notice of its selection of such Extended Interest Payment Period 10 business days prior to the earlier of (i) the next succeeding Interest Payment Date or (ii) the date the Company is required to give notice of the record or payment date of such interest payment to the New York Stock Exchange or other applicable self-regulatory organization or to holders of the Series A Debentures, but in any event not less than two business days prior to such record date. ARTICLE FOUR Covenants Applicable to Series A Debentures SECTION 4.01. So long as any Preferred Securities remain outstanding, the Company will not declare or pay any dividend on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a distribution or liquidation payment with respect to, any of its common stock or preferred stock, or make any guarantee payments with respect thereto, if at such time (i) the Company shall be in default with respect to its Guarantee Payments (as defined in the Guarantee Agreement) or other payment obligations under the Guarantee Agreement, (ii) there shall have occurred any Event of Default under the Indenture with respect to the Series A Debentures or (iii) the Company shall have given notice of its selection of an Extended Interest Payment Period and such Period, or any extension thereof, is continuing; provided that the Company will be permitted to pay accrued dividends (and cash in lieu of fractional shares) upon the conversion of any of its Series D Mandatory Conversion Premium Dividend Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms of such stock. SECTION 4.02. In connection with the distribution of the Series A Debentures to the holders of the Preferred Securities upon a Dissolution Event, the Company will use its best efforts to list such Series A Debentures on the New York Stock Exchange or on such other exchange as the Preferred Securities are then listed and traded. SECTION 4.03. The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the holders of the Preferred Securities to comply fully with all of its obligations and agreements under the Declaration of Trust, including, without limitation, its obligations under Article IV thereof. SECTION 4.04.

Any redemption pursuant to this paragraph will be made upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, at the Optional Redemption Price. If, at any time, a Tax Event (as defined below) shall occur or be continuing after receipt of a Dissolution Tax Opinion (as defined below) and (i) the Regular Trustees and the Company shall have received an opinion (a "Redemption Tax Opinion") of a nationally recognized independent tax counsel experienced in such matters that, as a result of a Tax Event, there is more than an insubstantial risk that the Company would be precluded from deducting the interest on the Series A Debentures for United States federal income tax purposes even if the Series A Debentures were distributed to the holders of Preferred Securities and Common Securities in liquidation of such holder's interest in SunAmerica Capital I as set forth in the Declaration of Trust or (ii) the Regular Trustees shall have been informed by such tax counsel that a No Recognition Opinion (as defined below) cannot be delivered to SunAmerica Capital I, the Company shall have the right at any time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice, to redeem the Series A Debentures in whole or in part for cash at the Optional Redemption Price within 90 days following the occurrence of such Tax Event; provided, however, that, if at the time there is available to the Company or the Regular Trustees on behalf of SunAmerica Capital I the opportunity to eliminate, within such 90 day period, the Tax Event by taking some ministerial action ("Ministerial Action"), such as filing a form or making an election, or pursuing some other similar reasonable measure, which has no adverse effect on SunAmerica Capital I, the Company or the holders of the Preferred Securities, the Company or the Regular Trustees on behalf of SunAmerica Capital I will pursue such measure in lieu of redemption and provided further that the Company shall have no right to redeem the Series A Debentures while the Regular Trustees on behalf of SunAmerica Capital I are pursuing any such Ministerial Action.

If the Debentures are only partially redeemed by the Company pursuant to an Optional Redemption or as a result of a Tax Event as described above, the Debentures will be redeemed pro rata or by lot or in some other equitable manner determined by the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a partial redemption of the Series A Debentures would result in the delisting of the Preferred Securities by any national securities exchange or other organization on which the Preferred Securities are then listed, the Company shall not be permitted to effect such partial redemption and will only redeem the Series A Debentures in whole. In the event of redemption of this Debenture in part only, a new Debenture or Debentures of this series for unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 3.10(a) and (b): (i) whenever in the administration of this Declaration, the Property Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Property Trustee (unless other evidence is herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part and, if the Trust is excluded from the definition of Investment Company solely by means of Rule 3a-7, subject to the requirements of Rule 3a-7, request and rely upon a certificate, which shall comply with the provisions of Section 314(e) of the Trust Indenture Act, signed by any two of the Regular Trustees or by an authorized officer of the Sponsor, as the case may be; (ii) The Property Trustee (A) may consult with counsel (which may be counsel to the Sponsor or any of its Affiliates and may include any of its employees) selected by it in good faith and with due care and the written advice or opinion of such counsel with respect to legal matters shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon and in accordance with such advice and opinion and (B) shall have the right at any time to seek instructions concerning the administration of this Declaration from any court of competent jurisdiction; (iii) The Property Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Property Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed by it in good faith and with due care; (iv) The Property Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Declaration at the request or direction of any Holders, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Property Trustee reasonable security and indemnity against the costs, expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses) and liabilities that might be incurred by it in complying with such request or direction; provided that nothing contained in this clause (iv) shall relieve the Property Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (which has not been cured or waived) to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Declaration, and to use the same degree of care and skill in this exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs; and (v) Any action taken by the Property Trustee or its agents hereunder shall bind the Holders of the Securities and the signature of the Property Trustee or its agents alone shall be sufficient and effective to perform any such action; and no third party shall be required to inquire as to the authority of the Property Trustee to so act, or as to its compliance with any of the terms and provisions of this Declaration, both of which shall be conclusively evidenced by the Property Trustee's or its agent's taking such action.

(a) Subject to Section 5.2(b), Trustees may be appointed or removed without cause at any time: (i) until the issuance of the Securities, by written instrument executed by the Sponsor; and (ii) after the issuance of the Securities, (A) other than with respect to the Special Regular Trustee, by vote of the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Common Securities voting as a class; and (B) if an Appointment Event has occurred and is continuing, one (1) additional Regular Trustee (the "Special Regular Trustee") may be appointed, who need not be an Affiliate of the Sponsor, by vote of the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities, voting as a class and such Special Regular Trustee may only be removed (otherwise than by the operation of Section 5.2(c)), by vote of the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities voting as a class.

Prompt notice of the taking of action without a meeting shall be given to the Holders of Securities entitled to vote who have not consented in writing.

No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of 11 months from the date thereof unless otherwise provided in the proxy. Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the Holder of the Security executing it. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the terms of the Securities, all matters relating to the giving, voting or validity of proxies shall be governed by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware relating to proxies, and judicial interpretations thereunder, as if the Trust were a Delaware corporation and the Holders of the Securities were stockholders of a Delaware corporation.

Belardi, as Trustee _________________________ Scott Richland, as Trustee _________________________ Scott L. Robinson, as Trustee EXHIBIT B TERMS OF PREFERRED SECURITIES Pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust of SunAmerica Capital Trust I dated as of May __, 1995 (as amended from time to time, the "Declaration"), the designations, rights, privileges, restrictions, preferences and other terms and provisions of the Preferred Securities are set forth below (each capitalized term used but not defined herein having the meaning set forth in the Declaration): 1. Designation and Number. Preferred Securities of the Trust with an aggregate liquidation amount in the assets of the Trust of $[137.5 million ($137,500,000)] and a liquidation amount in the assets of the Trust of $25 per Preferred Security, are hereby designated as " % Trust Originated Preferred Securities". The Preferred Security Certificates evidencing the Preferred Securities shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex I, with such changes and additions thereto or deletions therefrom as may be required by ordinary usage, custom or practice or to conform to the rules of any stock exchange on which the Preferred Securities are listed. The Preferred Securities shall be issued to former holders of shares of 9 1/4% Preferred Stock, Series B (the "Series B Preferred"), of SunAmerica Inc. ("SunAmerica") in exchange for such Series B Preferred pursuant to the Offer. In connection with such Offer and the purchase by SunAmerica of the Common Securities, SunAmerica will deposit in the Trust, and the Trust will purchase, respectively, as trust assets Debentures of SunAmerica having an aggregate principal amount equal to $_________, and bearing interest at an annual rate equal to the annual Distribution rate on the Preferred Securities and Common Securities and having payment and redemption provisions which correspond to the payment and redemption provisions of the Preferred Securities and Common Securities. 2. Distributions. (a) Distributions payable on each Preferred Security will be fixed at a rate per annum of % (the "Coupon Rate") of the stated liquidation amount of $25 per Preferred Security. Distributions in arrears for more than one quarter will bear interest at the rate per annum of % thereof (to the extent permitted by law), compounded quarterly. The term "Distributions" as used herein includes such cash distributions and any such interest payable unless otherwise stated. A Distribution will be made by the Property Trustee only to the extent that interest payments are made in respect of the Debentures held by the Property Trustee. The amount of Distributions payable for any period will be computed for any full quarterly Distribution period on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, and for any period shorter than a full quarterly Distribution period for which Distributions are computed, Distributions will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in such a 30-day month. (b) Distributions on the Preferred Securities will be cumulative, will accrue from (*) , 1995 and will be payable quarterly in arrears, on March 30, June 30, September 30 and December 30 of each year, commencing on June 15, 1995, except as otherwise described below, but only if and to the extent that interest payments are made in respect of the Debentures held by the Property Trustee. In addition, holders of Preferred Securities will be entitled to a cash distribution at the rate of 9 1/4% per annum of the liquidation amount thereof from March 15, 1995 through (*) , 1995, payable at the time of the first Distribution payment on the Preferred Securities. So long as SunAmerica shall not be in default in the payment of interest on the Debentures, SunAmerica has the right under the Indenture for the Debentures to defer payments of interest by extending the interest payment period from time to time on the Debentures for a period not exceeding 20 consecutive quarterly interest periods (each, an "Extension Period") and, as a consequence, quarterly Distributions will continue to accrue with interest thereon (to the extent permitted by applicable law) at the rate of % per annum, compounded quarterly during any such Extension Period. Prior to the termination of any such Extension Period, SunAmerica may further extend such Extension Period; provided that such Extension Period together with all such previous and further extensions thereof may not exceed 20 consecutive quarterly interest periods. Upon the termination of any Extension Period and the payment of all amounts then due, SunAmerica may commence a new Extension Period, subject to the above requirements. Payments of accrued Distributions will be payable to Holders of Preferred Securities as they appear on the books and records of the Trust on the first record date after the end of the Extension Period. - ------------ (*)Insert first day following the Expiration Date. (c) Distributions on the Preferred Securities will be payable promptly by the Property Trustee (or other Paying Agent) upon receipt of immediately available funds to the Holders thereof as they appear on the books and records of the Trust on the relevant record dates, which will be the March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 prior to the relevant Distribution date, which record and dates correspond to the record and interest payment dates on the Debentures. Distributions payable on any Preferred Securities that are not punctually paid on any Distribution payment date as a result of SunAmerica having failed to make the corresponding interest payment on the Debentures will forthwith cease to be payable to the person in whose name such Preferred Security is registered on the relevant record date, and such defaulted Distribution will instead be payable to the person in whose name such Preferred Security is registered on the special record date established by the Regular Trustees, which record date shall correspond to the special record date or other specified date determined in accordance with the Indenture; provided, however, that Distributions shall not be considered payable on any Distribution payment date falling within an Extension Period unless SunAmerica has elected to make a full or partial payment of interest accrued on the Debentures on such Distribution payment date. Subject to any applicable laws and regulations and the provisions of the Declaration, each payment in respect of the Preferred Securities will be made as described paragraph 9 hereof. If any date on which Distributions are payable on the Preferred Securities is not a Business Day, then payment of the Distribution payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) except that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on such date. (d) All Distributions paid with respect to the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities will be paid Pro Rata to the Holders thereof entitled thereto. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Preferred Securities shall have a priority over the Common Securities with respect to Distributions. (e) In the event that there is any money or other property held by or for the Trust that is not accounted for under the Declaration, such money or property shall be distributed Pro Rata among the Holders of the Preferred Securities and Common Securities. 3. Liquidation Distribution Upon Dissolution. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, winding-up or termination of the Trust, the Holders of the Preferred Securities and Common Securities at the date of the dissolution, winding-up or termination, as the case may be, will be entitled to receive Pro Rata solely out of the assets of the Trust available for distribution to Holders of Preferred Securities and Common Securities after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors, an amount equal to the aggregate of the stated liquidation amount of $25 per Preferred Security and Common Security plus accrued and unpaid Distributions thereon to the date of payment (such amount being the "Liquidation Distribution"), unless, in connection with such dissolution, winding-up or termination, and after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors, Debentures in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate stated liquidation amount such Preferred Securities and Common Securities and bearing accrued and unpaid interest in an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Distributions on, such Preferred Securities and Common Securities, shall be distributed Pro Rata to the Holders of the Preferred Securities and Common Securities in exchange for such Securities. If, upon any such dissolution, the Liquidation Distribution can be paid only in part because the Trust has insufficient assets available to pay in full the aggregate Liquidation Distribution, then the amounts payable directly by the Trust on the Preferred Securities and Common Securities shall be paid, subject to the next paragraph, on a Pro Rata basis. Holders of Common Securities will be entitled to receive Liquidation Distributions upon any such dissolution Pro Rata with Holders of Preferred Securities, except that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Preferred Securities shall have a priority over the Common Securities with respect to such Liquidation Distribution. 4. Redemption and Distribution of Debentures. The Preferred Securities and Common Securities may only be redeemed if Debentures having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities and Common Securities are repaid, redeemed or distributed as set forth below: (a) Upon the repayment of the Debentures, in whole or in part, whether at maturity, upon redemption at any time or from time to time on or after June 15, 1997, the proceeds of such repayment will be promptly applied to redeem Pro Rata Preferred Securities and Common Securities having an aggregate liquidation amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures so repaid or redeemed, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, at a redemption price of $25 per Preferred and Common Security plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid Distributions thereon to the date of redemption, payable in cash (the "Redemption Price"). The date of any such repayment or redemption of Preferred Securities and Common Securities shall be established to coincide with the repayment or redemption date of the Debentures. (b) If fewer than all the outstanding Preferred Securities and Common Securities are to be so redeemed, the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities will be redeemed Pro Rata and the Preferred Securities to be redeemed will be redeemed as described in paragraph 4(f)(ii) below. If a partial redemption would result in the delisting of the Preferred Securities by any national securities exchange or other organization on which the Preferred Securities are then listed, SunAmerica pursuant to the Indenture will only redeem Debentures in whole and, as a result, the Trust may only redeem the Preferred Securities in whole. (c) If, at any time, a Tax Event or an Investment Company Event (each as hereinafter defined, and each a "Special Event") shall occur and be continuing, the Regular Trustees shall, unless the Debentures are redeemed in the limited circumstances described below, dissolve the Trust and, after satisfaction of creditors, cause Debentures held by the Property Trustee having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate stated liquidation amount of and accrued and unpaid interest equal to accrued and unpaid Distributions on, and having the same record date for payment as the Preferred Securities and Common Securities, to be distributed to the Holders of the Preferred Securities and Common Securities on a Pro Rata basis in liquidation of such Holders' interests in the Trust, within 90 days following the occurrence of such Special Event (the "90 Day Period"), provided, however, that in the case of the occurrence of a Tax Event, as a condition of such dissolution and distribution, the Regular Trustees shall have received an opinion of a nationally recognized independent tax counsel experienced in such matters (a "No Recognition Opinion"), which opinion may rely on any then applicable published revenue ruling of the Internal Revenue Service, to the effect that the Holders of the Preferred Securities will not recognize any gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the dissolution of the Trust and distribution of Debentures; and provided, further, that, if and as long as at the time there is available to the Trust the opportunity to eliminate, within the 90 Day Period, the Special Event by taking some ministerial action, such as filing a form or making an election, or pursuing some other similar reasonable measure that has no adverse effect on the Trust, SunAmerica, or the Holders of the Preferred Securities ("Ministerial Action"), the Trust will pursue such measure in lieu of dissolution. If in the case of the occurrence of a Tax Event, after receipt of a Dissolution Tax Opinion (as defined below), (i) the Regular Trustees have received an opinion (a "Redemption Tax Opinion") of nationally recognized independent tax counsel experienced in such matters that, as a result of a Tax Event, there is more than an insubstantial risk that SunAmerica would be precluded from deducting the interest on the Debentures for United States federal income tax purposes even if the Debentures were distributed to the Holders of Preferred Securities and Common Securities in liquidation of such Holder's interest in the Trust as described in this paragraph 4(c) or (ii) the Regular Trustees shall have been informed by such tax counsel that a No Recognition Opinion cannot be delivered to the Trust, SunAmerica shall have the right at any time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice, to redeem the Debentures in whole or in part for cash at the Redemption Price within 90 days following the occurrence of such Tax Event, and promptly following such redemption Preferred Securities and Common Securities with an aggregate liquidation amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures so redeemed will be redeemed by the Trust at the Redemption Price on a Pro Rata basis; provided, however, that, if at the time there is available to SunAmerica or the Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust the opportunity to eliminate, within such 90 day period, the Tax Event by taking some Ministerial Action, SunAmerica or the Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust will pursue such measure in lieu of redemption and provided further that SunAmerica shall have no right to redeem the Debentures while the Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust are pursuing such Ministerial Action. The Common Securities will be redeemed Pro Rata with the Preferred Securities, except if an Event of Default under the Indenture has occurred and is continuing, the Preferred Securities will have a priority over the Common Securities with respect to payment of the Redemption Price. "Tax Event" means that the Regular Trustees shall have obtained an opinion of nationally recognized independent tax counsel experienced in such matters (a "Dissolution Tax Opinion") to the effect that on or after ___(**)_____, 1995 as a result of (a) any amendment to, or change (including any announced prospective change) in, the laws (or any regulations thereunder) of the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, (b) any amendment to, or change in, an interpretation or application of any such laws or regulations by any legislative body, court, governmental agency or regulatory authority (including the enactment of any legislation and the publication of any judicial decision or regulatory determination), (c) any interpretation or pronouncement that provides for a position with respect to such laws or regulations that differs from the theretofore generally accepted position or (d) any action taken by any governmental agency or regulatory authority, which amendment or change is enacted, promulgated, issued or announced or which interpretation or pronouncement is issued or announced or which action is taken, in each case on or after (***) , 1995, there is more than an insubstantial risk that (i) the Trust is, or will be within 90 days of the date thereof, subject to United States federal income tax with respect to income accrued or received on the Debentures, (ii) the Trust is, or will be within 90 days of the date thereof, subject to more than a de minimis amount of taxes, duties or other governmental charges or (iii) interest payable by SunAmerica to the Trust on the Debentures is not, or within 90 days of the date thereof will not be, deductible by SunAmerica for United States federal income tax purposes. In case of any uncertainty regarding a Tax Event, the good faith determination of the Regular Trustees (based on the advice of counsel) shall be conclusive. - ------------ (**)Insert Expiration Date. "Investment Company Event" means that the Regular Trustees shall have received an opinion of nationally recognized independent counsel experienced in practice under the Investment Company Act that, as a result of the occurrence of a change in law or regulation or a change in interpretation or application of law or regulation by any legislative body, court, governmental agency or regulatory authority (a "Change in 1940 Act Law"), the Trust is or will be considered an Investment Company which is required to be registered under the Investment Company Act, which Change in 1940 Act Law becomes effective on or after (***) , 1995. In case of any uncertainty regarding an Investment Company Event, the good faith determination of the Regular Trustees (based on the advice of counsel) shall be conclusive. On the date fixed for any distribution of Debentures, upon dissolution of the Trust, (i) the Preferred Securities will no longer be deemed to be outstanding and (ii) certificates representing Preferred Securities will be deemed to represent beneficial interests in the Debentures having an aggregate principal amount equal to the stated liquidation amount of, and bearing accrued and unpaid interest equal to accrued and unpaid Distributions on, such Preferred Securities until such certificates are presented to SunAmerica or its agent for transfer or reissuance. (d) The Trust may not redeem fewer than all the outstanding Preferred Securities unless all accrued and unpaid Distributions have been paid on all Preferred Securities for all quarterly Distribution periods terminating on or prior to the date of redemption. (e) If Debentures are distributed to Holders of the Preferred Securities, SunAmerica, pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, will use its best efforts to have the Debentures listed on the New York Stock Exchange or on such other exchange as the Preferred Securities were listed immediately prior to the distribution of the Debentures. (f) (i) Notice of any redemption of, or notice of distribution of Debentures in exchange for, the Preferred Securities and Common Securities (a "Redemption/Distribution Notice") will be given by the Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust by mail to each Holder of Preferred Securities and Common Securities to be redeemed or exchanged not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption or exchange thereof. For purposes of the calculation of the date of redemption or exchange and the dates on which notices are given pursuant to this paragraph (f)(i), a Redemption/Distribution Notice shall be deemed to be given on the day such notice is first mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to Holders of Preferred Securities and Common Securities. Each Redemption/ Distribution Notice shall be addressed to the Holders of Preferred Securities and Common Securities at the address of each such Holder appearing in the books and records of the Trust. No defect in the Redemption/Distribution Notice or in the mailing of either thereof with respect to any Holder shall affect the validity of the redemption or exchange proceedings with respect to any other Holder. - ------------ (***)Insert Expiration Date. (ii) In the event that fewer than all the outstanding Preferred Securities are to be redeemed, the Preferred Securities to be redeemed will be redeemed Pro Rata from each Holder of Preferred Securities and, in respect of Preferred Securities registered in the name of and held of record by DTC (or successor Clearing Agency) Pro Rata from each Clearing Agency Participant (subject to adjustment to eliminate fractional Preferred Securities). (iii) If the Trust gives a Redemption/ Distribution Notice in respect of a redemption of Preferred Securities as provided in this paragraph 4 (which notice will be irrevocable) then immediately prior to the close of business on the redemption date, provided that SunAmerica has paid to the Property Trustee in immediately available funds a sufficient amount of cash in connection with the related redemption or maturity of the Debentures, Distributions will cease to accrue on the Preferred Securities called for redemption, such Preferred Securities will no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights of Holders of such Preferred Securities so called for redemption will cease, except the right of the Holders of such Preferred Securities to receive the Redemption Price, but without interest on such Redemption Price. Neither the Trustees nor the Trust shall be required to register or cause to be registered the transfer of any Preferred Securities which have been so called for redemption. If any date fixed for redemption of Preferred Securities is not a Business Day, then payment of the Redemption Price payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) except that, if such Business Day falls in the next calendar year, such payment will be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on such date fixed for redemption. If payment of the Redemption Price in respect of Preferred Securities is improperly withheld or refused and not paid either by the Property Trustee or by SunAmerica pursuant to the Preferred Securities Guarantee, Distributions on such Preferred Securities will continue to accrue, from the original redemption date to the date of payment, in which case the actual payment date will be considered the date fixed for redemption for purposes of calculating the Redemption Price. (iv) Redemption/Distribution Notices shall be sent by the Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust to the Holders of the Preferred Securities. (v) Upon the date of dissolution of the Trust and distribution of Debentures as a result of the occurrence of a Special Event, Preferred Security Certificates shall be deemed to represent beneficial interests in the Debentures so distributed, and the Preferred Securities will no longer be deemed outstanding and may be canceled by the Regular Trustees. The Debentures so distributed shall have an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities so distributed. (vi) Subject to the foregoing and applicable law (including, without limitation, United States federal securities laws), SunAmerica or any of its subsidiaries may at any time and from time to time purchase outstanding Preferred Securities by tender, in the open market or by private agreement. 5. Voting Rights. (a) Except as provided under paragraph 5(b) below and as otherwise required by law and the Declaration, the Holders of the Preferred Securities will have no voting rights. (b) If (i) the Trust fails to make Distributions in full on the Preferred Securities for 6 consecutive quarterly Distribution periods; (ii) an Event of Default occurs and is continuing; or (iii) SunAmerica is in default on any of its payment or other obligations under the Preferred Guarantee (each, an "Appointment Event"), then the Holders of the Preferred Securities, acting as a single class, will be entitled by the vote of Holders of Preferred Securities representing a Majority in liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities to appoint a Special Regular Trustee in accordance with paragraph 5.2(a)(ii)(B) of the Declaration. Any Holder of Preferred Securities (other than the Sponsor or any Affiliate of the Sponsor) will have the right to nominate any Person to be appointed as Special Regular Trustee. For purposes of determining whether the Trust has failed to pay Distributions in full for 6 consecutive quarterly Distribution periods, Distributions shall be deemed to remain in arrears, notwithstanding any payments in respect thereof, until full cumulative Distributions have been or contemporaneously are paid with respect to all quarterly Distribution periods terminating on or prior to the date of payment of such cumulative Distributions. Not later than 30 days after such right to appoint a Special Regular Trustee arises, the Regular Trustees will convene a meeting for the purpose of appointing a Special Regular Trustee. If the Regular Trustees fail to convene such meeting within such 30-day period, the Holders of Preferred Securities representing 10% in liquidation amount of the outstanding Preferred Securities will be entitled to convene such meeting in accordance with Section 12.2 of the Declaration. The record date for such meeting will be the close of business on the Business Day next preceding the day on which notice of the meeting is sent to Holders of Preferred Securities. The provisions of the Declaration relating to the convening and conduct of the meetings of the Holders will apply with respect to any such meeting. If, at any such meeting, Holders of less than a Majority in liquidation amount of Preferred Securities entitled to vote for the appointment of a Special Regular Trustee vote for such appointment, no Special Regular Trustee shall be appointed. Any Special Regular Trustee may be removed without cause at any time by the Holders of Preferred Securities representing a Majority in liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities in accordance with Section 5.2(a)(ii)(B) of the Declaration. The Holders of 10% in liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities will be entitled to convene such a meeting in accordance with Section 12.2 of the Declaration. The record date for such meeting will be the close of business on the Business Day next preceding the day on which notice of the meeting is sent to Holders of Preferred Securities. Any Special Regular Trustee appointed shall cease to be a Special Regular Trustee as provided in Section 5.2(c) of the Declaration. Notwithstanding the appointment of any such Special Regular Trustee, SunAmerica shall retain all rights under the Indenture, including the right to extend the interest payment period on Debentures, and any extension for a period not exceeding 20 quarterly interest periods will not constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture. If any proposed amendment to the Declaration provides for, or the Regular Trustees otherwise propose to effect, (i) any action that would adversely affect the powers, preferences or special rights of the Securities, whether by way of amendment to the Declaration or otherwise, or (ii) the dissolution, winding-up or termination of the Trust, other than in connection with the distribution of Debentures held by the Property Trustee, upon the occurrence of a Special Event or in connection with the redemption of Preferred Securities as a consequence of a redemption of Debentures, then the Holders of outstanding Securities will be entitled to vote on such amendment or proposal as a class and such amendment or proposal shall not be effective except with the approval of the Holders of Securities representing 66-2/3% in liquidation amount of such Securities, provided, however, (A) if any amendment or proposal referred to in clause (i) above would adversely affect only the Preferred Securities or the Common Securities, then only the affected class will be entitled to vote on such amendment or proposal and such amendment or proposal shall not be effective except with the approval of 66-2/3% in liquidation amount of such class of Securities, (B) the rights of Holders of Preferred Securities under Article V of the Declaration to appoint and remove a Special Regular Trustee shall not be amended without the consent of each Holder of Preferred Securities, and (C) amendments to the Declaration shall be subject to such further requirements as are set forth in Sections 12.1 and 12.2 of the Declaration. Subject to the requirements of the penultimate sentence of this paragraph, the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities, voting separately as a class shall have the right to (A) on behalf of all Holders of Securities, waive any past default that is waivable under the Declaration and (B) direct the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Property Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Property Trustee under the Declaration, including the right to direct the Property Trustee, as the holder of the Debentures, to (i) direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Debenture Trustee, or executing any trust or power conferred on the Debenture Trustee with respect to the Debentures, (ii) waive any past default that is waivable under Section 6.06 of the Indenture, (iii) exercise any right to rescind or annul a declaration that the principal of all the Debentures shall be due and payable or (iv) consent to any amendment, modification or termination of the Indenture or the Debentures, where such consent shall be required; provided, however, that where a consent under the Indenture would require the consent of (1) holders of Debentures representing a specified percentage greater than a majority in principal amount of the Debentures (a "Specified Percentage") or (2) each Holder of Debentures affected thereby, no such consent shall be given by the Property Trustee without the prior consent of, in the case of clause (1) above, Holders of Preferred Securities representing such Specified Percentage of the aggregate liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities or, in the case of clause (2) above, each Holder of all Preferred Securities affected thereby. The Property Trustee shall not revoke any action previously authorized or approved by a vote of the Holders of Preferred Securities. Other than with respect to directing the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Property Trustee or the Debenture Trustee as set forth above, the Property Trustee shall be under no obligation to take any of the foregoing actions at the direction of the Holders of the Preferred Securities unless the Property Trustee shall have obtained an opinion of nationally recognized independent tax counsel recognized as expert in such matters to the effect that the Trust will not be classified for United States federal income tax purposes as an association taxable as a corporation or a partnership on account of such action and will be treated as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes following such action. If the Property Trustee fails to enforce its rights under the Declaration (including, without limitation, its rights, powers and privileges as a holder of the Debentures under the Indenture), any Holder of Preferred Securities may, after a period of 30 days has elapsed from such Holder's written request to the Property Trustee to enforce such rights, institute a legal proceeding directly against SunAmerica to enforce the Property Trustee's rights under the Declaration, without first instituting a legal proceeding against the Property Trustee or any other Person. A waiver of an Indenture Event of Default will constitute a waiver of the corresponding Event of Default under the Declaration in respect of the Securities. Any required approval or direction of Holders of Preferred Securities may be given at a separate meeting of Holders of Preferred Securities convened for such purpose, at a meeting of all of the Holders of Securities of the Trust or pursuant to written consent. The Regular Trustees will cause a notice of any meeting at which Holders of Preferred Securities are entitled to vote, or of any matter upon which action by written consent of such Holders is to be taken, to be mailed to each Holder of record of Preferred Securities. Each such notice will include a statement setting forth (i) the date of such meeting or the date by which such action is to be taken, (ii) a description of any resolution proposed for adoption at such meeting on which such Holders are entitled to vote or of such matter upon which written consent is sought and (iii) instructions for the delivery of proxies or consents. No vote or consent of the Holders of Preferred Securities will be required for the Trust to redeem and cancel Preferred Securities in accordance with the Declaration. Notwithstanding that Holders of Preferred Securities are entitled to vote or consent under any of the circumstances described above, any of the Preferred Securities at such time that are owned by SunAmerica or by any entity directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with SunAmerica shall not be entitled to vote or consent and shall, for purposes of such vote or consent, be treated as if they were not outstanding. Except as provided in this paragraph 5, Holders of the Preferred Securities will have no rights to increase or decrease the number of Trustees or to appoint, remove or replace a Trustee, which voting rights are vested solely in the Holders of the Common Securities. 6. Pro Rata Treatment. A reference in these terms of the Preferred Securities to any payment, distribution or treatment as being "Pro Rata" shall mean pro rata to each Holder of Securities according to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Securities held by the relevant Holder in relation to the aggregate liquidation amount of all Securities outstanding unless, in relation to a payment, an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case any funds available to make such payment shall be paid first to each Holder of the Preferred Securities pro rata according to the aggregate liquidation amount of Preferred Securities held by the relevant Holder relative to the aggregate liquidation amount of all Preferred Securities outstanding, and only after satisfaction of all amounts owed to the Holders of the Preferred Securities, to each Holder of Common Securities pro rata according to the aggregate liquidation amount of Common Securities held by the relevant Holder relative to the aggregate liquidation amount of all Common Securities outstanding. 7. Ranking. The Preferred Securities rank pari passu, and payment thereon will be made Pro Rata with, the Common Securities except that where an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the rights of Holders of Preferred Securities to payment in respect of Distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption or otherwise rank in priority to the rights to payment of the Common Securities Holders. 8. Mergers, Consolidations or Amalgamations. The Trust may not consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or be replaced by, or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets to, any corporation or other body. 9. Transfer, Exchange, Method of Payments. Payment of Distributions and payments on redemption of the Preferred Securities will be payable, the transfer of the Preferred Securities will be registrable, and Preferred Securities will be exchangeable for Preferred Securities of other denominations of a like aggregate liquidation amount, at the principal corporate trust office of the Property Trustee in The City of New York; provided that payment of Distributions may be made at the option of the Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust by check mailed to the address of the persons entitled thereto and that the payment on redemption of any Preferred Security will be made only upon surrender of such Preferred Security to the Property Trustee. 10. Acceptance of Indenture and Preferred Guarantee. Each Holder of Preferred Securities, by the acceptance thereof, agrees to the provisions of (i) the Preferred Guarantee, including the subordination provisions therein and (ii) the Indenture and the Debentures, including the subordination provisions of the Indenture. 11. No Preemptive Rights. The Preferred Securities shall have no preemptive rights to subscribe to any additional Preferred Securities or Common Securities. 12. Miscellaneous. These terms shall constitute a part of the Declaration. The Trust will provide a copy of the Declaration, the Preferred Guarantee and the Indenture to a Holder without charge on written request to the Trust at its principal place of business.

Date: _________________________ Signature: ____________________ (Sign exactly as your name appears on the other side of this Preferred Security Certificate) EXHIBIT C TERMS OF COMMON SECURITIES Pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust of SunAmerica Capital Trust I dated as of May __, 1995 (as amended from time to time, the "Declaration"), the designations, rights, privileges, restrictions, preferences and other terms and provisions of the Common Securities are set forth below (each capitalized term used but not defined herein having the meaning set forth in the Declaration): 1. Designation and Number. Common Securities of the Trust with an aggregate liquidation amount in the assets of the Trust of $______ and a liquidation amount in the assets of the Trust of $25 per Common Security, are hereby designated as " % Trust Originated Common Securities". The Common Security Certificates evidencing the Common Securities shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex I, with such changes and additions thereto or deletions therefrom as may be required by ordinary usage, custom or practice. The Common Securities are to be issued and sold to SunAmerica Inc. ("SunAmerica") in consideration of $_____ in cash. In connection with the Offer and the purchase by SunAmerica of the Common Securities, SunAmerica will deposit in the Trust, and the Trust will purchase, respectively, as trust assets Debentures of SunAmerica having an aggregate principal amount equal to $_______, and bearing interest at an annual rate equal to the annual Distribution rate on the Preferred Securities and Common Securities and having payment and redemption provisions which correspond to the payment and redemption provisions of the Preferred Securities and Common Securities. 2. Distributions. (a) Distributions payable on each Common Security will be fixed at a rate per annum of % (the "Coupon Rate") of the stated liquidation amount of $25 per Common Security. Distributions in arrears for more than one quarter will bear interest at the rate per annum of % thereof (to the extent permitted by applicable law), compounded quarterly. The term "Distributions" as used herein includes such cash distributions and any such interest payable unless otherwise stated. A Distribution will be made by the Property Trustee only to the extent that interest payments are made in respect of the Debentures held by the Property Trustee. The amount of Distributions payable for any period will be computed for any full quarterly Distribution period on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, and for any period shorter than a full quarterly Distribution period for which Distributions are computed, Distributions will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in such a 30-day month. (b) Distributions on the Common Securities will be cumulative, will accrue from the first day following (****) , 1995 and will be payable quarterly in arrears, on March 30, June 30, September 30 and December 30 of each year, commencing on June 30, 1995, except as otherwise described below, but only if and to the extent that interest payments are made in respect of the Debentures held by the Property Trustee. In addition, holders of Common Securities will be entitled to a cash distribution at the rate of 9 1/4% per annum of the liquidation amount thereof from March 15, 1995 through (*), 1995, payable at the time of the first Distribution payment on the Common Securities. So long as SunAmerica shall not be in default in the payment of interest on the Debentures, SunAmerica has the right under the Indenture for the Debentures to defer payments of interest by extending the interest payment period from time to time on the Debentures for a period not exceeding 20 consecutive quarterly interest periods (each, an "Extension Period") and, as a consequence, quarterly Distributions will continue to accrue with interest thereon (to the extent permitted by applicable law) at the rate of % per annum, compounded quarterly during any such Extension Period. Prior to the termination of any such Extension Period, SunAmerica may further extend such Extension Period; provided that such Extension Period together with all such previous and further extensions thereof may not exceed 20 consecutive quarterly interest periods. Upon the termination of any Extension Period and the payment of all amounts then due, SunAmerica may commence a new Extension Period, subject to the above requirements. Payments of accrued Distributions will be payable to Holders of Common Securities as they appear on the books and records of the Trust on the first record date after the end of the Extension Period. (c) Distributions on the Common Securities will be payable promptly by the Property Trustee (or other Paying Agent) upon receipt of immediately available funds to the Holders thereof as they appear on the books and records of the Trust on the relevant record dates which will be the March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 prior to the relevant Distribution date which record and payment dates correspond to the record and interest payment dates on the Debentures. Distributions payable on any Common Securities that are not punctually paid on any Distribution date as a result of SunAmerica having failed to make the corresponding interest payment on the Debentures will forthwith cease to be payable to the person in whose name such Common Security is registered on the relevant record date, and such defaulted Distribution will instead be payable to the person in whose name such Common Security is registered on the special record date established by the Regular Trustees, which record date shall correspond to the special record date or other specified date determined in accordance with the Indenture; provided, however, that Distributions shall not be considered payable on any Distribution payment date falling within an Extension Period unless SunAmerica has elected to make a full or partial payment of interest accrued on the Debentures on such Distribution payment date. Subject to any applicable laws and regulations and the provisions of the Declaration, each payment in respect of the Common Securities will be made as described in paragraph 9 hereof. If any date on which Distributions are payable on the Common Securities is not a Business Day, then payment of the Distribution payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) except that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on such date. - ------------ (****) Fill in Expiration Date. (d) All Distributions paid with respect to the Common Securities and the Preferred Securities will be paid Pro Rata to the Holders thereof entitled thereto. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Preferred Securities shall have a priority over the Common Securities with respect to Distributions. (e) In the event that there is any money or other property held by or for the Trust that is not accounted for under the Declaration, such money or property shall be distributed Pro Rata among the Holders of the Preferred Securities and Common Securities. 3. Liquidation Distribution Upon Dissolution. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, winding-up or termination of the Trust, the Holders of the Preferred Securities and Common Securities at the date of the dissolution, winding-up or termination, as the case may be, will be entitled to receive Pro Rata solely out of the assets of the Trust available for distribution to Holders of Preferred Securities and Common Securities, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors, an amount equal to the aggregate of the stated liquidation amount of $25 per Preferred Security and Common Security plus accrued and unpaid Distributions thereon to the date of payment (such amount being the "Liquidation Distribution"), unless, in connection with such dissolution, winding-up or termination, and after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors, Debentures in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate stated liquidation amount of such Preferred Securities and Common Securities bearing accrued and unpaid interest in an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Distributions on, such Preferred Securities and Common Securities, shall be distributed Pro Rata to the Holders of the Preferred Securities and Common Securities in exchange for such Securities. If, upon any such dissolution, the Liquidation Distribution can be paid only in part because the Trust has insufficient assets available to pay in full the aggregate Liquidation Distribution, then the amounts payable directly by the Trust on the Preferred Securities and Common Securities shall be paid, subject to the next paragraph, on a Pro Rata basis. Holders of Common Securities will be entitled to receive Liquidation Distributions upon any such dissolution Pro Rata with Holders of Preferred Securities, except that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Preferred Securities shall have a priority over the Common Securities with respect to such Liquidation Distribution. 4. Redemption and Distribution of Debentures. The Preferred Securities and Common Securities may only be redeemed if Debentures having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities and Common Securities are repaid, redeemed or distributed as set forth below: (a) Upon the repayment of the Debentures, in whole or in part, whether at maturity, upon redemption at any time or from time to time on or after June 15, 1997, the proceeds of such repayment will be promptly applied to redeem Pro Rata Preferred Securities and Common Securities having an aggregate liquidation amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures so repaid or redeemed, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, at a redemption price of $25 per Preferred and Common Security plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid Distributions thereon to the date of redemption, payable in cash (the "Redemption Price"). The date of any such repayment or redemption of Preferred Securities and Common Securities shall be established to coincide with the repayment or redemption date of the Debentures. (b) If fewer than all the outstanding Preferred Securities and Common Securities are to be so redeemed, the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities will be redeemed Pro Rata and the Common Securities to be redeemed will be redeemed as described in paragraph 4(e)(ii) below. If a partial redemption would result in the delisting of the Preferred Securities by any national securities exchange or other organization on which the Preferred Securities are then listed, SunAmerica pursuant to the Indenture will only redeem Debentures in whole and, as a result, the Trust may only redeem the Common Securities in whole. (c) If, at any time, a Tax Event or an Investment Company Event (each as hereinafter defined, and each a "Special Event") shall occur and be continuing, the Regular Trustees shall, unless the Debentures are redeemed in the limited circumstances described below, dissolve the Trust and, after satisfaction of creditors, cause Debentures held by the Property Trustee having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate stated liquidation amount of, with an interest rate identical to the Coupon Rate of, and accrued and unpaid interest equal to accrued and unpaid Distributions on, and having the same record date for payment as the Preferred Securities and Common Securities, to be distributed to the Holders of the Preferred Securities and Common Securities on a Pro Rata basis in liquidation of such Holders' interests in the Trust, within 90 days following the occurrence of such Special Event (the "90 Day Period"), provided, however, that in the case of the occurrence of a Tax Event, as a condition of such dissolution and distribution, the Regular Trustees shall have received an opinion of a nationally recognized independent tax counsel experienced in such matters (a "No Recognition Opinion"), which opinion may rely on any then applicable published revenue rulings of the Internal Revenue Service, to the effect that the Holders of the Preferred Securities will not recognize any gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the dissolution of the Trust and distribution of Debentures; and provided, further, that, if and as long as at the time there is available to the Trust the opportunity to eliminate, within the 90 Day Period, the Special Event by taking some ministerial action, such as filing a form or making an election, or pursuing some other similar reasonable measure that has no adverse effect on the Trust, SunAmerica, or the Holders of the Preferred Securities ("Ministerial Action") the Trust will pursue such measure in lieu of dissolution. If in the case of the occurrence of a Tax Event, after receipt of a Dissolution Tax Opinion (as defined below), (i) the Regular Trustees have received an opinion (a "Redemption Tax Opinion") of nationally recognized independent tax counsel experienced in such matters that, as a result of a Tax Event, there is more than an insubstantial risk that SunAmerica would be precluded from deducting the interest on the Debentures for United States federal income tax purposes even if the Debentures were distributed to the Holders of Preferred Securities and Common Securities in liquidation of such Holder's interest in the Trust as described in this paragraph 4(c) or (ii) the Regular Trustees shall have been informed by such tax counsel that a No Recognition Opinion cannot be delivered to the Trust, SunAmerica shall have the right at any time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice, to redeem the Debentures in whole or in part for cash at the Redemption Price within 90 days following the occurrence of such Tax Event, and promptly following such redemption Preferred Securities and Common Securities with an aggregate liquidation amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures so redeemed will be redeemed by the Trust at the Redemption Price on a Pro Rata basis: provided, however, that, if at the time there is available to SunAmerica or the Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust the opportunity to eliminate, within such 90 day period, the Tax Event by taking some Ministerial Action, SunAmerica or the Holders of the Preferred Securities, SunAmerica or the Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust will pursue such measure in lieu of redemption, and provided further that SunAmerica shall have no right to redeem the Debentures while the Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust are pursuing such Ministerial Action. The Common Securities will be redeemed Pro Rata with the Preferred Securities, except if an Event of Default under the Indenture has occurred and is continuing, the Preferred Securities will have a priority over the Common Securities with respect to payment of the Redemption Price. "Tax Event" means that the Regular Trustees shall have obtained an opinion of nationally recognized independent tax counsel experienced in such matters (a "Dissolution Tax Opinion") to the effect that on or after (*****) , 1995 as a result of (a) any amendment to, or change (including any announced prospective change) in, the laws (or any regulations thereunder) of the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, (b) any amendment to, or change in, an interpretation or application of any such laws or regulations by any legislative body, court, governmental agency or regulatory authority (including the enactment of any legislation and the publication of any judicial decision or regulatory determination), (c) any interpretation or pronouncement that provides for a position with respect to such laws or regulations that differs from the theretofore generally accepted position or (d) any action taken by any governmental agency or regulatory authority, which amendment or change is enacted, promulgated, issued or announced or which interpretation or pronouncement is issued or announced or which action is taken, in each case on or after (******) , 1995, there is more than an insubstantial risk that (i) the Trust is, or will be within 90 days of the date thereof, subject to United States federal income tax with respect to income accrued or received on the Debentures, (ii) the Trust is, or will be within 90 days of the date thereof, subject to more than a de minimis amount of taxes, duties or other governmental charges or (iii) interest payable by SunAmerica to the Trust on the Debentures is not, or within 90 days of the date thereof will not be, deductible by SunAmerica for United States federal income tax purposes. In the case of any uncertainty regarding a Tax Event, the good faith determination of the Regular Trustees (based on advice of counsel) shall be conclusive. "Investment Company Event" means that the Regular Trustees shall have received an opinion of nationally recognized independent counsel experienced in practice under the Investment Company Act that, as a result of the occurrence of a change in law or regulation or a change in interpretation or application of law or regulation by any legislative body, court, governmental agency or regulatory authority (a "Change in 1940 Act Law"), the Trust is or will be considered an Investment Company which is required to be registered under the Investment Company Act, which Change in 1940 Act Law becomes effective on or after (***) , 1995. In case of any uncertainty regarding an Investment Company Event, the good faith determination of the Regular Trustees (based on the advice of counsel) shall be conclusive. On the date fixed for any distribution of Debentures, upon dissolution of the Trust, (i) the Common Securities will no longer be deemed to be outstanding and (ii) any certificates representing Common Securities will be deemed to represent beneficial interests in the Debentures having an aggregate principal amount equal to the stated liquidation amount of, and bearing accrued and unpaid interest equal to accrued and unpaid Distributions on, such Common Securities until such certificates are presented to SunAmerica or its agent for transfer or reissuance. - ------------ (*****)Insert Expiration Date. (******)Insert Expiration Date. (d) The Trust may not redeem fewer than all the outstanding Common Securities unless all accrued and unpaid Distributions have been paid on all Common Securities for all quarterly Distribution periods terminating on or prior to the date of redemption. (e)(i) Notice of any redemption of, or notice of distribution of Debentures in exchange for, the Preferred Securities and Common Securities (a "Redemption/Distribution Notice") will be given by the Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust by mail to each Holder of Preferred Securities and Common Securities to be redeemed or exchanged not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption or exchange thereof. For purposes of the calculation of the date of redemption or exchange and the dates on which notices are given pursuant to this paragraph (e)(i), a Redemption/Distribution Notice shall be deemed to be given on the day such notice is first mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to Holders of Preferred Securities and Common Securities. Each Redemption/Distribution Notice shall be addressed to the Holders of Preferred Securities and Common Securities at the address of each such Holder appearing in the books and records of the Trust. No defect in the Redemption/Distribution Notice or in the mailing of either thereof with respect to any Holder shall affect the validity of the redemption or exchange proceedings with respect to any other Holder. (ii) In the event that fewer than all the outstanding Common Securities are to be redeemed, the Common Securities to be redeemed will be redeemed Pro Rata from each Holder of Common Securities (subject to adjustment to eliminate fractional Common Securities). (iii) If the Trust gives a Redemption/ Distribution Notice in respect of a redemption of Common Securities as provided in this paragraph 4 (which notice will be irrevocable) then immediately prior to the close of business on the redemption date, provided that SunAmerica has paid to the Property Trustee in immediately available funds a sufficient amount of cash in connection with the related redemption or maturity of the Debentures, Distributions will cease to accrue on the Common Securities called for redemption, such Common Securities will no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights of Holders of such Common Securities so called for redemption will cease, except the right of the Holders of such Common Securities to receive the Redemption Price, but without interest on such Redemption Price. Neither the Trustees nor the Trust shall be required to register or cause to be registered the transfer of any Common Securities which have been so called for redemption. If any date fixed for redemption of Common Securities is not a Business Day, then payment of the Redemption Price payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) except that, if such Business Day falls in the next calendar year, such payment will be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on such date fixed for redemption. If payment of the Redemption Price in respect of Common Securities is improperly withheld or refused and not paid by the Property Trustee, Distributions on such Common Securities will continue to accrue, from the original redemption date to the date of payment, in which case the actual payment date will be considered the date fixed for redemption for purposes of calculating the Redemption Price. (iv) Redemption/Distribution Notices shall be sent by the Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust to the Holders of the Common Securities. (v) Upon the date of dissolution of the Trust and distribution of Debentures as a result of the occurrence of a Special Event, Common Security Certificates shall be deemed to represent beneficial interests in the Debentures so distributed, and the Common Securities will no longer be deemed outstanding and may be canceled by the Regular Trustees. The Debentures so distributed shall have an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Common Securities so distributed. 5. Voting Rights. (a) Except as provided under paragraph 5(b) below and as otherwise required by law and the Declaration, the Holders of the Common Securities will have no voting rights. (b) Except as provided in the Declaration with respect to a Special Regular Trustee, Holders of Common Securities have the sole right under the Declaration to increase or decrease the number of Trustees, and to appoint, remove or replace a Trustee, any such increase, decrease, appointment, removal or replacement to be approved by Holders of Common Securities representing a Majority in liquidation amount of the Common Securities. If any proposed amendment to the Declaration provides for, or the Regular Trustees otherwise propose to effect, (i) any action that would adversely affect the powers, preferences or special rights of the Securities, whether by way of amendment to the Declaration or otherwise, or (ii) the dissolution, winding-up or termination of the Trust, other than in connection with the distribution of Debentures held by the Property Trustee, upon the occurrence of a Special Event or in connection with the redemption of Common Securities as a consequence of a redemption of Debentures, then the Holders of outstanding Securities will be entitled to vote on such amendment or proposal as a class and such amendment or proposal shall not be effective except with the approval of the Holders of Securities representing 66-2/3% in liquidation amount of such Securities; provided, however, (A) if any amendment or proposal referred to in clause (i) above would adversely affect only the Preferred Securities or the Common Securities, then only the affected class will be entitled to vote on such amendment or proposal and such amendment or proposal shall not be effective except with the approval of 66-2/3% in liquidation amount of such class of Securities, (B) the rights of Holders of Common Securities under Article V of the Declaration to increase or decrease the number of, and to appoint, replace or remove, Trustees (other than a Special Regular Trustee) shall not be amended without the consent of each Holder of Common Securities, and (C) amendments to the Declaration shall be subject to such further requirements as are set forth in Sections 12.1 and 12.2 of the Declaration. Holders of Common Securities may by vote of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Common Securities on behalf of the Holders of all of the Common Securities, waive any past Event of Default with respect to the Common Securities and its consequences, provided that, if the Event of Default arises out of an Indenture Event of Default: (i) which is not waivable under the Indenture, except where the Holders of the Common Securities are deemed to have waived such Event of Default under the Declaration as provided below, the Event of Default under the Declaration is not waivable; or (ii) which requires the consent or vote of all of the holders of Debentures to be waived, except where the Holders of the Common Securities are deemed to have waived such Event of Default under the Declaration as provided below, the Event of Default under the Declaration may only be waived by the vote of all of the Holders of the Securities; and provided, further that, each Holder of Common Securities will be deemed to have waived any such Event of Default with respect to the Common Securities until all Events of Default with respect to the Preferred Securities have been cured, waived by the Holders of Preferred Securities or otherwise eliminated and until all Events of Default with respect to the Preferred Securities have been so cured, waived or otherwise eliminated, the Property Trustee will be deemed to be acting solely on behalf of the Holders of the Preferred Securities and only the Holders of the Preferred Securities will have the right to direct the Property Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Declaration and the Preferred Securities. In the event that any Event of Default with respect to the Preferred Securities is waived by the Holders of the Preferred Securities as provided in the Declaration, the Holders of Common Securities pursuant to the Declaration have agreed that such waiver also constitutes the waiver of such Event of Default with respect to the Common Securities for all purposes under the Declaration without any further act, vote or consent of the Holders of the Common Securities. The Property Trustee shall notify all Holders of Preferred Securities and Common Securities of any notice of default received from the Debenture Trustee with respect to the Debentures. A waiver of an Indenture Event of Default will constitute a waiver of the corresponding Event of Default under the Declaration in respect of the Securities. Any required approval of Holders of Common Securities may be given at a separate meeting of Holders of Common Securities convened for such purpose, at a meeting of all of the Holders of Securities of the Trust or pursuant to written consent. The Regular Trustees will cause a notice of any meeting at which Holders of Common Securities are entitled to vote, or of any matter upon which action by written consent of such Holders is to be taken, to be mailed to each Holder of record of Common Securities. Each such notice will include a statement setting forth (i) the date of such meeting or the date by which such action is to be taken, (ii) a description of any resolution proposed for adoption at such meeting on which such Holders are entitled to vote or of such matter upon which written consent is sought and (iii) instructions for the delivery of proxies or consents. No vote or consent of the Holders of Common Securities will be required for the Trust to redeem and cancel Common Securities in accordance with the Declaration. 6. Pro Rata Treatment. A reference in these terms of the Common Securities to any payment, distribution or treatment as being "Pro Rata" shall mean pro rata to each Holder of Securities according to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Securities held by the relevant Holder in relation to the aggregate liquidation amount of all Securities outstanding unless, in relation to a payment, an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case any funds available to make such payment shall be paid first to each Holder of the Preferred Securities pro rata according to the aggregate liquidation amount of Preferred Securities held by the relevant Holder relative to the aggregate liquidation amount of all Preferred Securities outstanding, and only after satisfaction of all amounts owed to the Holders of the Preferred Securities, to each Holder of Common Securities pro rata according to the aggregate liquidation amount of Common Securities held by the relevant Holder relative to the aggregate liquidation amount of all Common Securities outstanding. 7. Ranking. The Common Securities rank pari passu with the Preferred Securities except that where an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the rights of Holders of Common Securities to payment in respect of Distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption or otherwise are subordinate to the rights of Holders the Preferred Securities. 8. Mergers, Consolidations or Amalgamations. The Trust may not consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or be replaced by, or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets to, any corporation or other body. 9. Transfers, Exchanges, Method of Payments. Payment of Distributions and payments on redemption of the Common Securities will be payable, the transfer of the Common Securities will be registrable, and Common Securities will be exchangeable for Common Securities of other denominations of a like aggregate liquidation amount, at the principal corporate trust office of the Property Trustee in The City of New York; provided that payment of Distributions may be made at the option of the Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust by check mailed to the address of the persons entitled thereto and that the payment on redemption of any Common Security will be made only upon surrender of such Common Security to the Property Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, transfers of Common Securities are subject to conditions set forth in Section 9.1(c) of the Declaration. 10. Acceptance of Indenture. Each Holder of Common Securities, by the acceptance thereof, agrees to the provisions of the Indenture and the Debentures, including the subordination provisions thereof. 11. No Preemptive Rights. The Holders of Common Securities shall have no preemptive rights to subscribe to any additional Common Securities or Preferred Securities. 12. Miscellaneous. These terms shall constitute a part of the Declaration. The Trust will provide a copy of the Declaration and the Indenture to a Holder without charge on written request to the Trust at its principal place of business.

If the tendered shares of Series B Preferred are registered in the name(s) of someone other than the undersigned or if the Preferred Securities to be issued in exchange therefor are to be issued (or shares of Series B Preferred not tendered or not accepted for exchange are to be returned) in the name of any other person, such tendered shares of Series B Preferred must be endorsed or accompanied by written instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trust and duly executed by the registered holder, and the signature on the endorsement or instrument of transfer must be guaranteed by a financial institution (including most banks, savings and loan associations and brokerage houses) that is a participant in the Security Transfer Agents Medallion Program or the Stock Exchange Medallion Program (any of the foregoing hereinafter referred to as an "Eligible Institution"). See Instruction 5. 2. Delivery of Letter of Transmittal and Series B Preferred. This Letter of Transmittal is to be completed by holders of shares of Series B Preferred either if certificates are to be forwarded herewith or, unless an Agent's Message (as defined in the Offering Circular/Prospectus) is utilized, if tenders are to be made pursuant to the procedure for tender by book-entry transfer set forth under "The Offer -- Procedures for Tendering -- Book-Entry Transfer" in the Offering Circular/Prospectus. Certificates for shares of Series B Preferred, or timely confirmation (a "Book-Entry Confirmation") of a book-entry transfer of such shares of Series B Preferred into the Exchange Agent's account at DTC, as well as this Letter of Transmittal (or a facsimile hereof), properly completed and duly executed, with any required signature guarantees, or an Agent's Message in the case of a book-entry delivery, and any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, must be received by the Exchange Agent at one of its addresses set forth herein prior to the Expiration Date. If a holder of Series B Preferred desires to participate in the Offer and time will not permit this Letter of Transmittal or shares of Series B Preferred to reach the Exchange Agent before the Expiration Date or the procedure for book-entry transfer cannot be completed on a timely basis, a tender may be effected if the Exchange Agent has received at its office prior to the Expiration Date, a letter, telegram or facsimile transmission from an Eligible Institution setting forth the name and address of the tendering Holder, the name(s) in which the shares of Series B Preferred are registered and, if the shares of Series B Preferred are held in certificated form, the certificate numbers of the shares of Series B Preferred to be tendered, and stating that the tender is being made thereby and guaranteeing that within five New York Stock Exchange, Inc. ("NYSE") trading days after the date of execution of such letter, telegram or facsimile transmission by the Eligible Institution, the shares of Series B Preferred in proper form for transfer together with a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (and any other required documents), or a confirmation of book-entry transfer of such shares of Series B Preferred into the Exchange Agent's account at DTC, will be delivered by such Eligible Institution. Unless the shares of Series B Preferred being tendered by the above-described method are deposited with the Exchange Agent within the time period set forth above (accompanied or preceded by a properly completed Letter of Transmittal and any other required documents) or a confirmation of book-entry transfer of such Series B Preferred into the Exchange Agent's account at DTC in accordance with DTC's Automated Tender Offer Program ("ATOP") procedures is received, the Trust may, at its option, reject the tender. The method of delivery of shares of Series B Preferred and all other required documents, including delivery through DTC, is at the option and risk of the tendering shareholder. If certificates for shares of Series B Preferred are sent by mail, registered mail with return receipt requested, properly insured, is recommended. In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to ensure timely delivery. No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will be accepted, and no fractional shares of Series B Preferred will be accepted for exchange. By executing this Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile hereof), the tendering holder waives any right to receive any notice of the acceptance of the shares of Series B Preferred for exchange. 3. Inadequate Space. If the space provided herein is inadequate, the certificate numbers and/or the number of shares of Series B Preferred should be listed on a separate signed schedule attached hereto. 4. Partial Tenders. (Not applicable to Book-Entry Shareholders) If fewer than all the shares of Series B Preferred represented by any certificate delivered to the Exchange Agent are to be tendered, fill in the number of shares of Series B Preferred which are to be tendered in the box entitled "Number of Shares Tendered". In such case, a new certificate for the remainder of the shares of Series B Preferred represented by the old certificate will be sent to the person(s) signing this Letter of Transmittal, unless otherwise provided in the appropriate box on this Letter of Transmittal, as promptly as practicable following the Expiration Date. All shares of Series B Preferred represented by certificates delivered to the Exchange Agent will be deemed to have been tendered unless otherwise indicated. 5. Signatures on Letter of Transmittal; Stock Powers and Endorsements. If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the shares of Series B Preferred tendered hereby, the signature(s) must correspond with the name(s) as written on the face of the certificates without alteration, enlargement or any change whatsoever. If any of the shares of Series B Preferred tendered hereby are held of record by two or more persons, all such persons must sign this Letter of Transmittal. If any of the shares of Series B Preferred tendered hereby are registered in different names on different certificates, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate Letters of Transmittal as there are different registrations of certificates. If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the shares of Series B Preferred tendered hereby, no endorsements of certificates or separate stock powers are required unless Preferred Securities issued in exchange therefor are to be issued, or shares of Series B Preferred not tendered or not exchanged are to be returned, in the name of any person other than the registered holder(s). Signatures on any such certificates or stock powers must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution. If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered holder(s) of the shares of Series B Preferred tendered hereby, certificates must be endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock powers, in either case, signed exactly as the name(s) of the registered holder(s) appear(s) on the certificates for such shares of Series B Preferred. Signature(s) on any such certificates or stock powers must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution. If this Letter of Transmittal or any certificate or stock power is signed by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, attorney-in-fact, officer of a corporation or other person acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such person should so indicate when signing, and proper evidence satisfactory to the Trust of the authority of such person so to act must be submitted. 6. Stock Transfer Taxes. SunAmerica will pay all stock transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the exchange of any shares of Series B Preferred pursuant to the Offer. If, however, certificates representing Preferred Securities are to be delivered to, or shares of Series B Preferred not tendered or accepted for exchange, are to be issued in the name of, any person other than the registered holder of the Series B Preferred tendered or if a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of Series B Preferred pursuant to the Offer, then the amount of any such transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered holder or any other persons) will be payable by the tendering holder. If satisfactory evidence of payment of such taxes or exemption therefrom is not submitted with this Letter of Transmittal, the amount of such transfer taxes will be billed directly to such tendering holder. 7. Special Exchange and Delivery Instructions. If certificates representing Preferred Securities are to be issued in the name of, or any shares of Series B Preferred not tendered or not accepted for exchange are to be issued or to be returned to, a person other than the person(s) signing this Letter of Transmittal or any certificates for Preferred Securities or certificates for shares of Series B Preferred not tendered or not accepted for exchange are to be mailed to someone other than the person(s) signing this Letter of Transmittal or to the person(s) signing this Letter of Transmittal at an address other than that shown above, the appropriate boxes on this Letter of Transmittal should be completed. Book-Entry Shareholders may request that shares of Series B Preferred not accepted for exchange be credited to such account maintained at DTC as such Book-Entry Shareholder may designate under "Special Exchange Instructions". If no such instructions are given, such shares of Series B Preferred not accepted for exchange will be returned by crediting the account at DTC. 8. Substitute Form W-9. Under the federal income tax laws, the Exchange Agent may be required to withhold 31% of the amount of any payments made to certain shareholders pursuant to the Offer. In order to avoid such backup withholding, each tendering shareholder, and, if applicable, each other payee, must provide such shareholder's or payee's correct taxpayer identification number and certify that such shareholder or payee is not subject to such backup withholding by completing the Substitute Form W-9 set forth above. In general, if a shareholder or payee is an individual, the taxpayer identification number is the Social Security number of such individual. Certain shareholders or payees (including, among others, all corporations and certain foreign individual(s) are not subject to these backup withholding and reporting requirements. In order to satisfy the Exchange Agent that a foreign individual qualifies as an exempt recipient, such shareholder or payee must submit a statement, signed under penalties of perjury, attesting to that individual's exempt status. Such statements can be obtained from the Exchange Agent. For further information concerning backup withholding and instructions for completing the Substitute Form W-9 (including how to obtain a taxpayer identification number if you do not have one and how to complete the Substitute Form W-9 if Shares are held in more than one name), consult the enclosed Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9. 9. Waiver of Conditions. The conditions of the Offer may be waived by the Trust from time to time in accordance with, and subject to the limitations described in, the Offering Circular/Prospectus, provided that acceptance of Series B Preferred validly tendered in the Offer is subject to the condition that as of the Expiration Date there be at least 400 record or beneficial holders of Preferred Securities to be issued in exchange of such Series B Preferred, which condition may not be waived. 10. Requests for Assistance or Additional Copies. Requests for assistance or additional copies of the Offering Circular/Prospectus and this Letter of Transmittal may be obtained from the Trust or the Information Agent at their respective addresses or telephone numbers set forth below. 11.

No such fee shall be payable to a Soliciting Dealer in respect of shares of Series B Preferred registered in the name of such Soliciting Dealer unless (i) such shares of Series B Preferred are held by such Soliciting Dealer as nominee and such shares of Series B Preferred are being tendered for the benefit of one or more beneficial owners identified on the Letter of Transmittal or on the Notice of Solicited Tenders (included in the materials provided to brokers and dealers) or (ii) such shares of Series B Preferred are being tendered for the benefit of the Soliciting Dealer and such Soliciting Dealer certifies on the Letter of Transmittal or on the Notice of Solicited Tenders that such shares of Series B Preferred were acquired by the Soliciting Dealer (x) after the commencement of the Offer, (y) at a price not in excess of $____ per share of Series B Preferred and (z) from a holder solicited by the Soliciting Dealer. For purposes of clause (z), "solicited" shall mean direct contact (other than the mailing of the Offer materials) with the holder relating to the tender of shares of Series B Preferred beneficially owned by the holder that resulted in the purchase by the Soliciting Dealer of such shares of Series B Preferred. No such fee shall be payable to a Soliciting Dealer with respect to the tender of shares of Series B Preferred by a holder unless the Letter of Transmittal accompanying such tender designates such Soliciting Dealer as such in the box captioned "Solicited Tenders" or the Notice of Solicited Tenders accompanying such tender designates such Soliciting Dealer. No such fee shall be payable to a Soliciting Dealer with respect to the tender of shares of Series B Preferred by the holder of record, for the benefit of the beneficial owner, unless the beneficial owner has designated such Soliciting Dealer. No such fee shall be payable to a Soliciting Dealer if such Soliciting Dealer is required for any reason to transfer the amount of such fee to a depositing holder (other than itself). No broker, dealer, bank, trust company or fiduciary shall be deemed to be the agent of SunAmerica, the Trust, the Exchange Agent, the Information Agent or the Dealer Manager.
