The Board of Directors will have the power to prescribe a reasonable period of time within which the preemptive rights to subscribe to the new shares of capital stock must be exercised.

TENTH. Each director and executive officer of this association shall be indemnified by the association against liability in any proceeding (including without limitation a proceeding brought by or on behalf of this association itself) arising out of his status as such or his activities in either of the 3 foregoing capacities, except for any liability incurred on account of activities which were at the time taken known or believed by such person to be clearly in conflict with the best interests of this association. Liabilities incurred by a director or executive officer of this association in defending a proceeding shall be paid by this association in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by the director or executive officer to repay such amount if it shall be determined, as provided in the last paragraph of this Article Tenth, that he is not entitled to be indemnified by this association against such liabilities.

Any director, officer or employee of this association who serves at the request of this association as a director, officer, employee or agent of a charitable, not-for-profit, religious, educational or hospital corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or a trade association, or as a trustee or administrator under an employee benefit plan, or who serves at the request of this association as a director, officer or employee of a business corporation in connection with the administration of an estate or trust by this association, shall have the right to be indemnified by this association, subject to the provisions set forth in the following paragraph of this Article Tenth, against liabilities in any manner arising out of or attributable to such status or activities in any such capacity, except for any liability incurred on account of activities which were at the time taken known or believed by such person to be clearly in conflict with the best interests of this association, or of the corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise, association or plan being served by such person. In the case of all persons except the directors and executive officers of this association, the determination of whether a person is entitled to indemnification under the preceding paragraph of this Article Tenth shall be made by and in the sole discretion of the Chief Executive Officer of this association.

The right to indemnification herein provided for shall apply to persons who are directors, officers, or employees of banks or other entities that are hereafter merged or otherwise combined with this association only after the effective date of such merger or other combination and only as to their status and activities after such date. The right to indemnification herein provided for shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and legal representatives of any person entitled to such right. No revocation of, change in, or adoption of any resolution or provision in the Articles of Association or Bylaws of this association inconsistent with, this Article Tenth shall adversely affect the rights of any director, officer, or employee of this association with respect to (i) any proceeding commenced or threatened prior to such revocation, change, or adoption, or (ii) any proceeding arising out of any act or omission occurring prior to such revocation, change, or adoption, in either case, without the written consent of such director, officer, or employee. The rights hereunder shall be in addition to and not exclusive of any other rights to which a director, officer, or employee of this association may be entitled under any statute, agreement, insurance policy, or otherwise. 5 This association shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, or employee of this association, or is or was serving at the request of this association as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, trade association, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against such director, officer, or employee in any such capacity, or arising out of their status as such, whether or not this association would have the power to indemnify such director, officer, or employee against such liability, excluding insurance coverage for a formal order assessing civil money penalties against a director, officer or employee of this association. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein, no person shall have a right to indemnification with respect to any liability (i) incurred in an administrative proceeding or action instituted by an appropriate bank regulatory agency which proceeding or action results in a final order assessing civil money penalties or requiring affirmative action by an individual or individuals in the form of payments to this association, (ii) to the extent such person is entitled to receive payment therefor under any insurance policy or from any corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, trade association, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise other than this association, or (iii) to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such indemnification is void or prohibited under state or federal law. ELEVENTH. These Articles of Association may be amended at any regular or special meeting of the shareholders by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the stock of this association, unless the vote of the holders of a greater amount of stock is required by law, and in that case by the vote of the holders of such greater amount. 6 EXHIBIT C WACHOVIA TRUST COMPANY, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION BYLAWS AS AMENDED AND RESTATED APRIL 1, 2002 AS AMENDED OCTOBER 24, 2002 ARTICLE I Meetings of Shareholders Section 1.1.
