                  (a) "DISTRIBUTIONS" with respect to the Liquidation Amount of
         $1,000 per Security (the "LIQUIDATION AMOUNT") of each Security will
         accrue and be payable at a rate (the "DISTRIBUTION RATE") (such rate
         being the rate of interest payable on the Subordinated Notes to be held
         by the Property Trustee) per annum equal to

                           (i) from and including November 12, 1998 to but
                  excluding February 9, 2000, LIBOR plus 175 basis points;

                           (ii) from and including February 9, 2000 to but
                  excluding the earlier of (A) the Remarketing Settlement Date
                  on which

<PAGE>   4
                  Replacement Securities are issued and (B) the date such
                  Security is redeemed, LIBOR plus 150 basis points;

                           (iii) from and including the Remarketing Settlement
                  Date on which Replacement Securities are issued to but
                  excluding the date such Security is redeemed, the Winning Bid
                  Rate; and

                           (iv) notwithstanding clauses (i), (ii) and (iii)
                  above, if such Security is not redeemed because the
                  Subordinated Note Issuer fails to pay the principal amount of
                  the Subordinated Notes on the date such amount becomes due,
                  then from and including such due date to but excluding the
                  date such Security is redeemed, the applicable Distribution
                  Rate in effect on the due date, compounded quarterly, but only
                  to the extent permitted by applicable law.

         Distributions that are not paid when due will bear additional
         distributions ("ADDITIONAL DISTRIBUTIONS") thereon compounded quarterly
         at the applicable Distribution Rate in effect on the due date specified
         above (to the extent permitted by applicable law). A Distribution is
         payable only to the extent that payments are made in respect of the
         Subordinated Notes held by the Property Trustee and to the extent the
         Property Trustee has funds on hand legally available therefor.

                   (b) Until the Remarketing Settlement Date on which
         Replacement Securities are issued, Distributions on the Securities will
         be payable quarterly in arrears (i) on February 12, May 12, August 12
         and November 12 of each year, commencing February 12, 1999 and (ii) on
         such Remarketing Settlement Date (each, a "PRE-REMARKETING DISTRIBUTION
         DATE"), and will accumulate from and including the most recent date to
         which Distributions have been paid or, if no Distributions have been
         paid, from November 12, 1998, to but excluding the related
         Pre-Remarketing Distribution Date, except as otherwise described below.

         The Distribution Rate in effect for the period from and including
         November 12, 1998 to but excluding February 12, 1999 shall be the rate
         determined by the Calculation Agent two London Banking Days prior to
         November 12, 1998 and shall equal LIBOR plus 175 basis points. The
         Distribution Rate in effect from and including February 12, 1999 to but
         excluding February 9, 2000, for each quarterly period from and
         including the immediately preceding Pre-Remarketing Distribution Date
         to but excluding the applicable Pre-Remarketing Distribution Date,
         shall be determined by the Calculation Agent two London Banking Days
         prior to such immediately preceding Pre-Remarketing Distribution Date
         (a "DATE


                                       4
<PAGE>   5
         OF DETERMINATION") and shall equal LIBOR plus 175 basis points. The
         Distribution Rate in effect thereafter, for each quarterly period from
         and including the immediately preceding Pre-Remarketing Distribution
         Date to but excluding the applicable Pre-Remarketing Distribution Date,
         shall be determined by the Calculation Agent two London Banking Days
         prior to such immediately preceding Pre-Remarketing Distribution Date
         and shall equal LIBOR plus 150 basis points. The amount of the
         Distribution payable on February 12, 2000 shall reflect the pro rata
         application of the two Distribution Rates applicable to the calculation
         period for such Distribution for each day on which the applicable
         Distribution Rate was in effect. The amount of Distributions payable
         for any quarterly period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day
         year of twelve 30-day months. Except as provided in the last sentence
         of this paragraph, the amount of Distributions payable for any period
         shorter than a full quarterly period for which Distributions are
         computed will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days
         elapsed per 30-day month. If a Pre-Remarketing Distribution Date is not
         a Business Day, then such Pre-Remarketing Distribution Date will be the
         next succeeding Business Day, except if such Business Day is in the
         next succeeding calendar month, such Pre-Remarketing Distribution Date
         will be the immediately preceding Business Day.

         All percentages resulting from any calculations on the Securities will
         be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a
         percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point
         rounded upward (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) being rounded to
         9.87655% (or .0987655)), and all dollar amounts used in or resulting
         from such calculation will be rounded to the nearest cent (with
         one-half cent being rounded upward).

                  (c) From and including the Remarketing Settlement Date on
         which Replacement Securities are issued, Distributions on the
         Replacement Securities and on the Common Securities will be payable
         quarterly in arrears (i) on February 12, May 12, August 12 and November
         12 of each year, commencing on such Remarketing Settlement Date and
         (ii) on the Mandatory Redemption Date (each, a "DISTRIBUTION DATE"),
         and will accumulate from the most recent date to which Distributions
         have been paid or, if no Distributions have been paid, from and
         including such Remarketing Settlement Date, to but excluding the
         related Distribution Date, except as otherwise described below. The
         amount of Distributions payable for any quarterly period shall be
         computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Except
         as provided in the last sentence of this paragraph, the amount of
         Distributions payable for any period shorter than a full quarterly
         period for which Distributions are



                                       5
<PAGE>   6
         computed will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days
         elapsed per 30-day month. If a Distribution Date is not a Business Day,
         then such Distribution Date will be postponed to the next succeeding
         Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of
         any such delay); provided, that if such Business Day is in the next
         succeeding calendar month, such Distribution Date will be the
         immediately preceding Business Day.

                   (d) Distributions on the Securities will be payable to the
         Holders thereof as they appear on the books and records of the Trust on
         the fifteenth day prior to each Pre-Remarketing Distribution Date or
         Distribution Date, as the case may be. Subject to any applicable laws
         and regulations and the provisions of the Agreement, each such payment
         in respect of the Preferred Securities will be made in respect of any
         global certificate representing Preferred Securities, to the Depository
         (or other applicable Depository), which shall credit the relevant
         accounts at the Depository (or such other Depository) on the applicable
         payment dates, or in respect of Preferred Securities in certified form,
         by check mailed to the address of the Holder entitled thereto as such
         address shall appear on the register; provided that at the written
         request of any Holder of at least $10,000,000 aggregate Liquidation
         Amount of Preferred Securities received by the Property Trustee not
         later than the fifteenth day prior to the applicable Pre-Remarketing
         Distribution Date or Distribution Date, Distributions accrued on such
         Preferred Securities will be payable by wire transfer within the
         continental United States in immediately available funds to the bank
         account number of such holder specified in such request. The relevant
         record dates for the Common Securities shall be the same as the record
         dates for the Preferred Securities. Distributions payable on any
         Securities that are not punctually paid on any Distribution Date, as a
         result of the Subordinated Note Issuer having failed to make a payment
         under the Subordinated Notes, will cease to be payable to the Holder on
         the relevant record date, and such defaulted Distributions will instead
         be payable to the Person in whose name such Securities are registered
         on the special record date or other specified date determined in
         accordance with the Indenture.

                   (e) The Distribution Rate on the Securities (as well as the
         interest rate on the Subordinated Notes) shall be reset in the manner
         provided in Section 6.03 of the Agreement and in the Indenture.

                   (f) In the event that there is any money or other property
         held by or for the Trust that is not accounted for hereunder, such
         property shall be distributed Pro Rata (as defined herein) among the
         Holders of the Securities."

         SECTION 2.03. Amendment of Securities. Each Holder of Common Securities
and each Holder of Preferred Securities (by signing a separate consent to this
Amendment) agrees to surrender the certificates representing the Securities to
the Property Trustee in exchange for new certificates reflecting the amended
terms provided for in this Amendment in the forms set forth as Exhibits A-1 and
A-2 attached hereto. Such replacement certificates shall be executed by an
Administrative Trustee, and authenticated (in the case of Preferred Securities)
and delivered by the Property Trustee to such Holders upon surrender to the
Property Trustee of the old certificates. The surrendered certificates shall be
canceled by the Property Trustee and shall no longer be outstanding.



                                    ARTICLE 3



         SECTION 3.01. Remarketing of Preferred Securities. (a) Section 4.03(e)
of the Trust Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

                  "(e) negotiate the terms of, enter into, sign on behalf of the
         Trust and deliver the Purchase Agreement, in the form of Exhibit C,
         providing for the sale of the Preferred Securities, the Remarketing
         Agreement, providing for the Remarketing of the Preferred Securities,
         or under certain circumstances, the Subordinated Notes, and the
         Secondary Purchase Agreement providing for the resale of the Preferred
         Securities."

         (b) Article 6 of the Trust Agreement is hereby amended to read in its
entirety as follows:

                                   "ARTICLE 6

                     DISTRIBUTIONS; RESET RATE; REMARKETING

         SECTION 6.01. Distributions. Holders shall receive Distributions in
accordance with the applicable terms of the relevant Holder's Securities.
Distributions shall be made on the Securities in accordance with the respective
terms and preferences set forth below and in Annex I. If and to the extent that
the Subordinated Note Issuer makes a payment of interest, premium and/or
principal on the Subordinated Notes held by the Property Trustee (the amount of
any such payment being a "PAYMENT AMOUNT"), the Property Trustee shall and is
directed, to the extent funds are available for that purpose, to make a
distribution (a "DISTRIBUTION") of the Payment Amount to Holders.

<PAGE>   8
         SECTION 6.02.  Remarketing Procedures.

                  (a) (i) Subject to Section 6.04, the Holders of a Majority in
         Liquidation Amount of the Securities, acting together as a single class
         (the "REQUESTING HOLDERS") have the right to require Remarketing of the
         Preferred Securities at any time. The Requesting Holders may exercise
         this right by delivering a written notice to the Remarketing Agent at
         any time requesting a Remarketing of the Preferred Securities. Upon the
         receipt of such notice, the Remarketing Agent shall immediately deliver
         a written notice to the Sponsor on behalf of the Requesting Holders
         (the "REMARKETING NOTICE"). If the Requesting Holders exercise their
         right to require the Remarketing of the Preferred Securities, the Reset
         Date shall be the sixth Business Day (the "EXPECTED RESET DATE") after
         the date on which the Remarketing Notice is received by the Sponsor.

                  (ii)  Notwithstanding Section 6.02(a)(i):

                           (A) the Sponsor may, by notice to the Remarketing
                  Agent, direct that the Reset Date be delayed if the Sponsor
                  believes it will be unable to meet the conditions to
                  Remarketing in the absence of such a delay; and

                           (B) the Remarketing Agent may, by notice to the
                  Sponsor, direct that the Reset Date be delayed if the
                  Remarketing Agent believes that a Remarketing will not be
                  successful in the absence of such a delay;

         provided that the Sponsor and the Remarketing Agent, in either such
         event, will use their reasonable best efforts to establish a delayed
         Reset Date that is within five Business Days after the Expected Reset
         Date, but in no event later than the 15th Business Day following the
         date on which the related Remarketing Notice was received, or the 20th
         Business Day in the case of a Renewed Remarketing (as hereinafter
         defined) to which the provisions of Section 6.04 are applicable (as
         applicable, the "FINAL RESET DATE").

                  (iii) If the Sponsor and the Remarketing Agent have not
         agreed, on or prior to the sixth Business Day preceding the Final Reset
         Date, to a Reset Date that is not later than the Final Reset Date, a
         Failed Remarketing shall be deemed to have occurred.


                  (iv) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 6, upon
         receipt of a Remarketing Notice the Sponsor shall have the right, in
         its sole discretion, to elect to pay the aggregate Liquidation Amount
         of and

                                       8
<PAGE>   9
         accumulated and unpaid Distributions on the Preferred Securities,
         rather than proceed with the Remarketing. The Sponsor shall make such
         election by sending written notice, within five Business Days after the
         receipt of the Remarketing Notice, to the Remarketing Agent and the
         Property Trustee. If the Sponsor makes such election, it shall pay the
         aggregate Liquidation Amount of and accumulated and unpaid
         Distributions on the Preferred Securities to the Holders thereof on the
         date eight Business Days after receipt of the Remarketing Notice.

                   (b) The Sponsor shall, by notice to the Remarketing Agent no
         later than five Business Days prior to the Reset Date, select and
         specify three Reference Corporate Dealers. By 3:00 p.m., New York City
         time, on the Reset Date, the Remarketing Agent shall request Bids from
         such Reference Corporate Dealers. The Remarketing Agent or an Affiliate
         or Associated Person thereof (any such person, an "AFFILIATED BIDDER")
         may, at its option, also enter a Bid. The Remarketing Agent shall
         disclose to the Sponsor the Bids obtained and determine the lowest Bid
         Rate (the "WINNING BID RATE") from among the Bids obtained on the Reset
         Date. By approximately 4:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Reset
         Date, the Remarketing Agent shall notify the Sponsor and the Property
         Trustee of the Winning Bid Rate. If on a Reset Date, Bids are not
         submitted by at least two Reference Corporate Dealers, or if the lowest
         Bid submitted would result in a Winning Bid Rate in excess of the rate
         permitted by applicable law, such Remarketing shall be deemed to be a
         Failed Remarketing on the corresponding Remarketing Settlement Date.
         The Winning Bid Rate determined by the Remarketing Agent, absent
         manifest error, shall be binding and conclusive upon the Holders of the
         Trust Securities, the Sponsor and the Trust.

                   (c) On the Reset Date, the Remarketing Agent shall designate
         as the Secondary Purchaser (the "SECONDARY PURCHASER") the Reference
         Corporate Dealer providing the Bid containing the Winning Bid Rate. If
         the Winning Bid Rate is specified in the Bids submitted by two or more
         bidders, the Remarketing Agent shall, in consultation with the Sponsor,
         designate one of such bidders as the Secondary Purchaser.

                   (d) On the Reset Date, the Secondary Purchaser shall enter
         into a Secondary Purchase Agreement for the purchase by such Secondary
         Purchaser at the Remarketing Price of the aggregate Liquidation Amount
         of the Preferred Securities, with a Distribution Rate equal to the
         Winning Bid Rate and with a Mandatory Redemption Date on the Remarketed
         Redemption Date.

                   (e) If a Remarketing has occurred pursuant to this Section
         6.02 but settlement of the purchase and sale of the Preferred
         Securities does not occur on the corresponding Remarketing Settlement
         Date, then, unless the provisions of Section 6.04 with respect to a
         Renewed Remarketing shall apply, a Failed Remarketing shall be deemed
         to have occurred on such Remarketing Settlement Date.

                   (f) At the time and in the manner specified in the Secondary
         Purchase Agreement, the Secondary Purchaser shall pay on the
         Remarketing Settlement Date to the Remarketing Agent on behalf of the
         Holders of the Preferred Securities, an amount of cash equal to the
         Remarketing Price.

                   (g) Unless otherwise agreed among the Remarketing Agent, the
         Paying Agent and any Former Holder, the Remarketing Agent shall pay the
         Remarketing Price to the Paying Agent, acting solely as agent for the
         Former Holders, and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay such amounts to
         the Former Holders on the Remarketing Settlement Date in the manner
         specified in Section 5(g) of Annex I hereto for payments with respect
         to redemptions of the Preferred Securities. Any amounts held by the
         Paying Agent for payment to the Former Holders shall not be property of
         the Trust.

                   (h) The obligation of the Remarketing Agent to make payment
         to the Former Holders in connection with the Remarketing shall be
         limited to the extent that the Secondary Purchaser has delivered the
         Remarketing Price therefor to the Remarketing Agent.

                   (i) Any outstanding Preferred Securities purchased on the
         Remarketing Settlement Date shall be deemed to be transferred to the
         Secondary Purchaser and shall be replaced in the manner provided in
         Section 6.02(j). After the Remarketing Settlement Date (except in the
         event of (y) a Failed Remarketing or (z) a failure by the Trust to pay
         on the Remarketing Settlement Date all accrued and unpaid Distributions
         (including any Additional Distributions) to such Remarketing Settlement
         Date), (A) the Trust shall make no further payments to, and the Trust
         shall have no further obligations under this Agreement in respect of,
         the Holders of such replaced Preferred Securities (the "FORMER
         HOLDERS"), (B) the Trust shall only be obligated to make payments to
         the Holders of Replacement Securities and (C) the Preferred Securities
         of the Former Holders shall no longer represent an obligation of or
         interest in the Trust but shall only represent a right to receive the
         proceeds of the Remarketing from the Paying Agent.

                   (j) The Sponsor shall cause replacement certificates
         evidencing the remarketed Preferred Securities (the "REPLACEMENT
         SECURITIES") to be executed by an Administrative Trustee on behalf of
         the Trust and authenticated by the Property Trustee in accordance with
         the provisions of Section 7.03. The Replacement Securities shall be
         delivered to the purchaser or purchasers of the remarketed Preferred
         Securities in accordance with the terms of the Secondary Purchase
         Agreement.


         SECTION 6.03. Reset of Distribution Rate and Mandatory Redemption Date.
         From and including the Remarketing Settlement Date on which Replacement
         Securities are issued, the Distribution Rate on the Securities shall be
         the Winning Bid Rate and the Mandatory Redemption Date shall be the
         Remarketed Redemption Date.


         SECTION 6.04. Renewed Remarketing. If a Remarketing has occurred
         pursuant to Section 6.02 that would be a Failed Remarketing pursuant to
         Section 6.02(e), because the purchase and sale of the Preferred
         Securities do not take place on the corresponding Remarketing
         Settlement Date, and such failure, in the good faith determination of
         the Remarketing Agent, results from facts or circumstances other than
         the action or inaction of the Sponsor, then the provisions of Section
         6.02 shall apply to a second remarketing (a "RENEWED REMARKETING") of
         the Preferred Securities, except that the Expected Reset Date shall be
         the sixth Business Day following such corresponding Remarketing
         Settlement Date; provided that upon the occurrence of a Failed
         Remarketing pursuant to Section 6.02(e), only one Renewed Remarketing
         may occur pursuant to this Section 6.04, and no Renewed Remarketing
         shall occur after the Final Reset Date.


         SECTION 6.05. Failed Remarketing. The Remarketing Agent shall give
         notice of any Failed Remarketing by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on
         the date such Failed Remarketing occurs or is deemed to have occurred
         to the Sponsor and the Property Trustee.


         SECTION 6.06. Payment of Taxes, Duties, Etc. of the Trust. Upon receipt
         under the Subordinated Notes of Additional Interest, the Property
         Trustee shall promptly pay from such Additional Interest any taxes,
         duties or governmental charges of whatever nature (other than
         withholding taxes) imposed on the Trust by the United States or any
         other taxing authority."

this Amendment shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby.

           (a) "DISTRIBUTIONS" with respect to the Liquidation Amount of $1,000
per Preferred Security (the "LIQUIDATION AMOUNT") of each Security will accrue
and be payable at a rate (the "DISTRIBUTION RATE") (such rate being the rate of
interest payable on the Subordinated Notes to be held by the Property Trustee)
per annum equal to

                            (i) from and including November 12, 1998 to but
                  excluding February 9, 2000, LIBOR plus 175 basis points;

                           (ii) from and including February 9, 2000 to but
                  excluding the earlier of (A) the Remarketing Settlement Date
                  on which Replacement Securities are issued and (B) the date
                  such Security is redeemed, LIBOR plus 150 basis points;

                          (iii) from and including the Remarketing Settlement
                  Date on which Replacement Securities are issued to but
                  excluding the date such Security is redeemed, the Winning Bid
                  Rate; and

                           (iv) notwithstanding clauses (i), (ii) and (iii)
                  above, if such Security is not redeemed because the
                  Subordinated Note Issuer fails to pay the principal amount of
                  the Subordinated Notes on the date such amount becomes due,
                  then from and including such due date to but excluding the
                  date such Security is redeemed, the applicable Distribution
                  Rate in effect on the due date, compounded quarterly, but only
                  to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Distributions that are not paid when due will bear additional distributions
("ADDITIONAL DISTRIBUTIONS") thereon compounded quarterly at the applicable
Distribution Rate in effect on the due date specified above (to the extent
permitted by applicable law). A Distribution is payable only to the extent that
payments are made in respect of the Subordinated Notes held by the Property
Trustee and to the extent the Property Trustee has funds on hand legally
available therefor.

           (b) Until the Remarketing Settlement Date on which Replacement
Securities are issued, Distributions on the Securities will be payable quarterly
in arrears (i) on February 12, May 12, August 12 and November 12 of each year,
commencing February 12, 1999 and (ii) on such Remarketing Settlement Date (each,
a "PRE-REMARKETING DISTRIBUTION DATE"), and will accumulate from and including
the most recent date to which Distributions have been paid or, if no
Distributions have been paid, from November 12, 1998, to but excluding the
related Pre-Remarketing Distribution Date, except as otherwise described below.



                                     A-1-4
<PAGE>   19
         The Distribution Rate in effect for the period from and including
November 12, 1998 to but excluding February 12, 1999 shall be the rate
determined by the Calculation Agent two London Banking Days prior to November
12, 1998 and shall equal LIBOR plus 175 basis points. The Distribution Rate in
effect from and including February 12, 1999 to but excluding February 9, 2000,
for each quarterly period from and including the immediately preceding
Pre-Remarketing Distribution Date to but excluding the applicable
Pre-Remarketing Distribution Date, shall be determined by the Calculation Agent
two London Banking Days prior to such immediately preceding Pre-Remarketing
Distribution Date (a "DATE OF DETERMINATION") and shall equal LIBOR plus 175
basis points. The Distribution Rate in effect thereafter, for each quarterly
period from and including the immediately preceding Pre-Remarketing Distribution
Date to but excluding the applicable Pre-Remarketing Distribution Date, shall be
determined by the Calculation Agent two London Banking Days prior to such
immediately preceding Pre-Remarketing Distribution Date and shall equal LIBOR
plus 150 basis points. The amount of the Distribution payable on February 12,
2000 shall reflect the pro rata application of the two Distribution Rates
applicable to the calculation period for such Distribution for each day on which
the applicable Distribution Rate was in effect. The amount of Distributions
payable for any quarterly period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year of twelve 30-day months. Except as provided in the last sentence of this
paragraph, the amount of Distributions payable for any period shorter than a
full quarterly period for which Distributions are computed will be computed on
the basis of the actual number of days elapsed per 30-day month. If a
Pre-Remarketing Distribution Date is not a Business Day, then such
Pre-Remarketing Distribution Date will be the next succeeding Business Day,
except if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such
Pre-Remarketing Distribution Date will be the immediately preceding Business
Day.

         All percentages resulting from any calculations on the Preferred
Securities will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth
of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded
upward (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) being rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)),
and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation will be
rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upward).

           (c) From and including the Remarketing Settlement Date on which
Replacement Securities are issued, Distributions on the Replacement Securities
and on the Common Securities will be payable quarterly in arrears (i) on
February 12, May 12, August 12 and November 12 of each year, commencing on such
Remarketing Settlement Date and (ii) on the Mandatory Redemption Date (each, a
"DISTRIBUTION DATE"), and will accumulate from the most recent date to which

                                      A-1-5
<PAGE>   20
Distributions have been paid or, if no Distributions have been paid, from and
including such Remarketing Settlement Date, to but excluding the related
Distribution Date, except as otherwise described below. The amount of
Distributions payable for any quarterly period shall be computed on the basis of
a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Except as provided in the last sentence
of this paragraph, the amount of Distributions payable for any period shorter
than a full quarterly period for which Distributions are computed will be
computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed per 30-day month. If
a Distribution Date is not a Business Day, then such Distribution Date will be
postponed to the next succeeding Business Day (and without any interest or other
payment in respect of any such delay); provided, that if such Business Day is in
the next succeeding calendar month, such Distribution Date will be the
immediately preceding Business Day.

 Subject to other conditions set forth in the Agreement and the Indenture, the
Property Trustee may, at the direction of the Sponsor, at any time dissolve the
Trust and cause the Subordinated Notes to be distributed to the Holders of the
Securities in liquidation of the Trust or, simultaneously with any redemption of
the Subordinated Notes, cause a Like Amount of the Securities to be redeemed by
the Trust.

This Preferred Security shall be redeemable as provided in the Agreement.

representing undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust

                                           HERCULES TRUST V

                                           By: _______________________________
                                               Name: Israel J. Floyd
                                               Title: Administrative Trustee
<PAGE>   25
                          [REVERSE OF COMMON SECURITY]

                (a) "DISTRIBUTIONS" with respect to the Liquidation Amount of
$1,000 per Common Security (the "LIQUIDATION AMOUNT") of each Security will
accrue and be payable at a rate (the "DISTRIBUTION RATE") (such rate being the
rate of interest payable on the Subordinated Notes to be held by the Property
Trustee) per annum equal to

                        (i) from and including November 12, 1998 to but
                  excluding February 9, 2000, LIBOR plus 175 basis points;

                       (ii) from and including February 9, 2000 to but excluding
                  the earlier of (A) the Remarketing Settlement Date on which
                  Replacement Securities are issued and (B) the date such
                  Security is redeemed, LIBOR plus 150 basis points;

                      (iii) from and including the Remarketing Settlement Date
                  on which Replacement Securities are issued to but excluding
                  the date such Security is redeemed, the Winning Bid Rate; and

                       (iv) notwithstanding clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above,
                  if such Security is not redeemed because the Subordinated Note
                  Issuer fails to pay the principal amount of the Subordinated
                  Notes on the date such amount becomes due, then from and
                  including such due date to but excluding the date such
                  Security is redeemed, the applicable Distribution Rate in
                  effect on the due date, compounded quarterly, but only to the
                  extent permitted by applicable law.

Distributions that are not paid when due will bear additional distributions
("ADDITIONAL DISTRIBUTIONS") thereon compounded quarterly at the applicable
Distribution Rate in effect on the due date specified above (to the extent
permitted by applicable law). A Distribution is payable only to the extent that
payments are made in respect of the Subordinated Notes held by the Property
Trustee and to the extent the Property Trustee has funds on hand legally
available therefor.

         (b) Until the Remarketing Settlement Date on which Replacement
Securities are issued, Distributions on the Securities will be payable quarterly
in arrears (i) on February 12, May 12, August 12 and November 12 of each year,
commencing February 12, 1999 and (ii) on such Remarketing Settlement Date (each,
a "PRE-REMARKETING DISTRIBUTION DATE"), and will accumulate from and including
the most recent date to which Distributions have been paid or, if no
Distributions have been paid, from November 12, 1998, to but excluding the
related Pre-Remarketing Distribution Date, except as otherwise described below.

                                      A-2-4
<PAGE>   26
         The Distribution Rate in effect for the period from and including
November 12, 1998 to but excluding February 12, 1999 shall be the rate
determined by the Calculation Agent two London Banking Days prior to November
12, 1998 and shall equal LIBOR plus 175 basis points. The Distribution Rate in
effect from and including February 12, 1999 to but excluding February 9, 2000,
for each quarterly period from and including the immediately preceding
Pre-Remarketing Distribution Date to but excluding the applicable
Pre-Remarketing Distribution Date, shall be determined by the Calculation Agent
two London Banking Days prior to such immediately preceding Pre-Remarketing
Distribution Date (a "DATE OF DETERMINATION") and shall equal LIBOR plus 175
basis points. The Distribution Rate in effect thereafter, for each quarterly
period from and including the immediately preceding Pre-Remarketing Distribution
Date to but excluding the applicable Pre-Remarketing Distribution Date, shall be
determined by the Calculation Agent two London Banking Days prior to such
immediately preceding Pre-Remarketing Distribution Date and shall equal LIBOR
plus 150 basis points. The amount of the Distribution payable on February 12,
2000 shall reflect the pro rata application of the two Distribution Rates
applicable to the calculation period for such Distribution for each day on which
the applicable Distribution Rate was in effect. The amount of Distributions
payable for any quarterly period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year of twelve 30-day months. Except as provided in the last sentence of this
paragraph, the amount of Distributions payable for any period shorter than a
full quarterly period for which Distributions are computed will be computed on
the basis of the actual number of days elapsed per 30-day month. If a
Pre-Remarketing Distribution Date is not a Business Day, then such
Pre-Remarketing Distribution Date will be the next succeeding Business Day,
except if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such
Pre-Remarketing Distribution Date will be the immediately preceding Business
Day.

         All percentages resulting from any calculations on the Common
Securities will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth
of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded
upward (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) being rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)),
and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation will be
rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upward).

         (c) From and including the Remarketing Settlement Date on which
Replacement Securities are issued, Distributions on the Replacement Securities
and on the Common Securities will be payable quarterly in arrears (i) on
February 12, May 12, August 12 and November 12 of each year, commencing on such
Remarketing Settlement Date and (ii) on the Mandatory Redemption Date (each, a
"DISTRIBUTION DATE"), and will accumulate from the most recent date to which
Distributions have been paid or, if no Distributions have been paid, from and


                                      A-2-5
<PAGE>   27
including such Remarketing Settlement Date, to but excluding the related
Distribution Date, except as otherwise described below. The amount of
Distributions payable for any quarterly period shall be computed on the basis of
a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Except as provided in the last sentence
of this paragraph, the amount of Distributions payable for any period shorter
than a full quarterly period for which Distributions are computed will be
computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed per 30-day month. If
a Distribution Date is not a Business Day, then such Distribution Date will be
postponed to the next succeeding Business Day (and without any interest or other
payment in respect of any such delay); provided, that if such Business Day is in
the next succeeding calendar month, such Distribution Date will be the
immediately preceding Business Day.

         Subject to other conditions set forth in the Agreement and the
Indenture, the Property Trustee may, at the direction of the Sponsor, at any
time dissolve the Trust and cause the Subordinated Notes to be distributed to
the Holders to the Securities in liquidation of the Trust or, simultaneously
with any redemption of the Subordinated Notes, cause a Like Amount of the
Securities to be redeemed by the Trust.

         This Common Security shall be redeemable as provided in the Agreement.
