     Section 2.06. EVENTS OF DEFAULT; WAIVER. (a) The Holders of a Majority in
liquidation preference of Preferred Securities may, by vote, on behalf of the
Holders of all of the Preferred Securities, waive any past Event of Default in
respect of the Preferred Securities and its consequences; provided that, if the
underlying Event of Default under the Indenture:

               (i) is not waivable under the Indenture, the Event of Default
under the Declaration shall also not be waivable; or

               (ii) requires the consent or vote of greater than a majority in
principal amount of the holders of the Debentures (a "Super Majority") to be
waived under the Indenture, the Event of Default under the Declaration may only
be waived by the vote of the Holders of at least the proportion in liquidation
amount of the Preferred Securities that the relevant Super Majority represents
of the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures outstanding.

          Upon such waiver, any such default shall cease to exist, and any Event
of Default with respect to the Preferred Securities arising therefrom shall be
deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Declaration, but no such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or an Event of Default
with respect to the Preferred Securities or impair any right consequent thereon.
Any waiver by the Holders of the Preferred Securities of an Event of Default
with respect to the Preferred Securities shall also be deemed to constitute a
waiver by the Holders of the Common Securities of any such Event of Default with
respect to the Common Securities for all purposes of this Declaration without
any further act, vote, or consent of the Holders of the Securities.

          (b) The Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Common
Securities may, by vote, 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 underlying Event of
Default under the Indenture:

               (i) 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 in this Section 2.06(b), the Event of Default
under the Declaration shall also not be waivable; or

               (ii) requires the consent or vote of a Super Majority 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 in this
Section 2.06(b), the Event of Default under the Declaration may only be waived
by the vote of the Holders of at least the proportion in liquidation preference
of the Common Securities that the relevant Super Majority represents of the
aggregate principal amount of the Debentures outstanding;

          provided, further, each Holder of Common Securities will be deemed to
have waived any such Event of Default and all Events of Default with respect to
the Common Securities and its consequences until the effects of all Events of
Default with respect to the Preferred Securities have been cured, waived or
otherwise eliminated, and until such Events of Default have been so cured,
waived or otherwise eliminated, the Property Trustee will be deemed


                                       8
<PAGE>

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 Securities. Subject to the
foregoing provisions of this Section 2.06(b), upon such waiver, any such default
shall cease to exist and any Event of Default with respect to the Common
Securities arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every
purpose of this Declaration, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent
or other default or Event of Default with respect to the Common Securities or
impair any right consequent thereon.

          (c) A waiver of an Event of Default under the Indenture by the
Property Trustee at the direction of the Holders of the Preferred Securities,
constitutes a waiver of the corresponding Event of Default under this
Declaration. The foregoing provisions of this Section 2.06(c) shall be in lieu
of Section 316(a)(1)(B) of the Trust Indenture Act and such Section 316(a)(1)(B)
of the Trust Indenture Act is hereby expressly excluded from this Declaration
and the Securities, as permitted by the Trust Indenture Act.

     Section 2.07. EVENT OF DEFAULT; NOTICE. (a) The Property Trustee shall,
within 90 days after the occurrence of an Event of Default, transmit by mail,
first class postage prepaid, to the Holders of the Securities, notices of all
defaults with respect to the Securities actually known to the Property Trustee,
unless such defaults have been cured before the giving of such notice (the term
"defaults" for the purposes of this Section 2.07(a) being hereby defined to be
an Event of Default as defined in the Indenture not including any periods of
grace provided for therein and irrespective of the giving of any notice provided
therein); provided that, except for a default in the payment of principal of (or
premium, if any) or interest on any of the Debentures or in the payment of any
sinking fund installment established for the Debentures, the Property 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 Property Trustee in good faith determines that the
withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Securities.

          (b) The Property Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any
default unless a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge of or has received
written notice of such default.

                                  ARTICLE III.

purposes, and such Holders will include directly in their gross income the
income, gain, deduction or loss of the Trust as if the Trust did not exist. By
the acceptance of this Trust, neither the Trustees, the Sponsor nor the owners
of the Preferred Securities or Common Securities will take any position for
United States federal income tax purposes which is contrary to the
classification of the Trust as a grantor trust.

     Section 3.04. AUTHORITY. Subject to the limitations provided in this
Declaration and to the specific duties of the Property Trustee, the Regular
Trustees shall have exclusive and complete authority to carry out the purposes

taken by the Property Trustee in accordance with its powers shall constitute the
act of and serve to bind the Trust. In dealing with the Trustees acting on
behalf of the Trust, no person shall be required to inquire into the authority
of the Trustees to bind the Trust. Persons dealing with the Trust are entitled
to rely conclusively on the power and authority of the Trustees as set forth in
this Declaration.

     Section 3.05. TITLE TO PROPERTY OF THE TRUST. Except as provided in Section
3.08 with respect to the Debentures and the Property Trustee Account or as

the assets of the Trust.

an insubstantial risk that for United States federal income tax purposes the
Trust will not be classified as a grantor trust.

     Section 3.08. POWERS AND DUTIES OF THE PROPERTY TRUSTEE. (a) The legal
title to the Debentures shall be owned by and held of record in the name of the

Trustees in accordance with the terms of the Securities, engage in such

and, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Property Trustee
shall, for the benefit of Holders of the Securities, enforce its rights as
holder of the Debentures subject to the rights of the Holders pursuant to the
terms of such Securities.

          (h) The Property Trustee will act as initial paying agent and
registrar to pay Distributions, redemption payments or liquidation payments on
behalf of the Trust with respect to all securities and as such, shall comply
with Section 317(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. Any Paying Agent (as defined in
Section 7.04) may be removed by the Property Trustee at any time and a successor
Paying Agent or additional Paying Agents may be appointed at any time by the
Property Trustee.

          (i) Subject to this Section 3.08, the Property Trustee shall have none
of the duties, liabilities, powers or the authority of the Regular Trustees set

after the curing of all Events of Default that any have occurred, shall
undertake to perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Declaration and no implied covenants shall be read into this Declaration against
the Property Trustee. In case an Event of Default has occurred (that has not
been cured or waived pursuant to Section 2.06), the Property Trustee shall
exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Declaration, and use
the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would
exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own
affairs.

          (b) No provision of this Declaration shall be construed to relieve the
Property Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent
failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:

               (i) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the
curing or waiving of all such Events of Default that may have occurred;

               (ii) (A) the duties and obligations of the Property Trustee shall
be determined solely by the express provisions of this Declaration and the

and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Declaration, and no
implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Declaration against the
Property Trustee; and


                                       15
<PAGE>

                    (B) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Property
Trustee, the Property Trustee may 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 Property Trustee and conforming to the
requirements of this Declaration; but in the case of any such certificates or
opinions that by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished
to the Property Trustee, the Property Trustee shall be under a duty to examine
the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this
Declaration (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical
calculations or other facts stated therein);

                    (C) the Property Trustee shall not be liable for any error
of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Property Trustee,
unless it shall be proved that the Property Trustee was negligent in
ascertaining the pertinent facts upon which such judgment was made;

               (iii) the Property 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 liquidation amount
of the Securities relating to 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 this Declaration;

               (iv) no provision of this Declaration shall require the Property
Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability
in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights
or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment
of such funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it under the terms of
this Declaration or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not
reasonably assured to it;

               (v) the Property Trustee's sole duty with respect to the custody,
safe keeping and physical preservation of the Debentures and the Property
Trustee Account shall be to deal with such property in a similar manner as the
Property Trustee deals with similar property for its own account, subject to the
protections and limitations on liability afforded to the Property Trustee under
this Declaration and the Trust Indenture Act;

               (vi) the Property Trustee shall have no duty or liability for or
with respect to the value, genuineness, existence or sufficiency of the
Debentures or the payment of any taxes or assessments levied thereon or in
connection therewith;

               (vii) the Property Trustee shall not be liable for any interest
on any money received by it except as it may otherwise agree with the Sponsor.
Money held by the Property Trustee need not be segregated from other funds held
by it except in relation to the Property Trustee Account maintained by the
Property Trustee pursuant to Section 3.06(c)(i) and except to the extent
otherwise required by law; and

               (viii) the Property Trustee shall not be responsible for
monitoring the compliance by the Regular Trustees or the Sponsor with their
respective duties under this Declaration, nor shall the Property Trustee be
liable for the default or misconduct of the Regular Trustees or the Sponsor.

be incurred by it in complying with such request or direction, including such
reasonable advances as may be requested in writing by the Property Trustee

with due care by it hereunder;

               (ix) any action taken by the Property Trustee or its agents

duty or obligation on the Property Trustee to perform any act or acts or
exercise any right, power, duty or obligation conferred or imposed on it, in any
jurisdiction in which it shall be illegal, or in which the Property Trustee
shall be unqualified or incompetent in accordance with applicable law, to

                    securities having substantially the same terms as the
                    Preferred Securities (the "Successor Securities") as long as

                    in the profits and distributions or in the assets of the
                    Successor Entity at least as high as the Preferred

issuance, on any national securities exchange or with any other organization on
which the Preferred Securities are then listed or quoted;

               (iv) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement does
not cause the Preferred Securities (including any Successor Securities) to be
downgraded by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization;

               (v) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement does
not adversely affect the powers, preferences and other special rights of the

material respect;

               (vi) such Successor Entity has a purpose substantially identical
to that of the Trust;

               (vii) prior to such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or

                    (A) the Successor Entity will be treated as a grantor trust
                    for United States federal income tax purposes;

                    (B) following such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or

                    (C) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement
                    will not adversely affect the rights, preferences and

                    Successor Securities) in any material respect; and

               (viii) the Sponsor provides a guarantee to the Holders of the
Successor Securities with respect to the Successor Entity having substantially
the same terms as the Preferred Securities Guarantee.

the consent of Holders of 100% in liquidation amount of the Common Securities,
consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or be replaced by any other entity
or permit any other entity to consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or
replace it if such consolidation, amalgamation, merger or replacement would
cause the Trust or Successor Entity to be classified as other than a grantor
trust for United States federal income tax purposes.

that the meeting has not been lawfully called or convened. Unless provided
otherwise in this Declaration, any action of the Regular Trustees may be taken

the names of the Regular Trustees or otherwise as the Regular Trustees may deem
expedient, to the extent such delegation is not prohibited by applicable law or
contrary to the provisions of the Trust, as set forth herein.

     Section 5.11. MERGER, CONVERSION, CONSOLIDATION OR SUCCESSION TO BUSINESS.
Any corporation into which the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the
case may be, may be merged or converted or with which either may be
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case
may be, shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially
all the corporate trust business of the Property Trustee or the Delaware
Trustee, as the case may be, shall be the successor of the Property Trustee or
the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, hereunder provided such corporation
shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the
parties hereto.

                                  ARTICLE VI.

                                 DISTRIBUTIONS.

     Section 6.01. DISTRIBUTIONS. Holders shall receive Distributions (as
defined below) in accordance with the applicable terms of the relevant Holder's
Securities (set forth in Annex I and Exhibits A and B hereto and incorporated
herein by reference). Distributions shall be made on the Preferred Securities
and the Common Securities in accordance with the preferences set forth in their
respective terms. If and to the extent that the Sponsor makes a payment of
interest (including Compounded Interest (as defined in the Indenture)), premium
and principal on the Debentures held by the Property Trustee (the amount of any
such payment being


                                       26
<PAGE>

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.

                                  ARTICLE VII.

                             ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES

     Section 7.01. GENERAL PROVISIONS REGARDING SECURITIES. (a) The Regular
Trustees shall on behalf of the Trust issue one class of Preferred Securities,
having such terms (the "Terms") as are set forth in Annex I and one class of
Common Securities, having such terms as are set forth in Annex I. The Trust
shall issue no securities or other interests in the assets of the Trust other
than the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities. The Trust shall issue
no Securities in bearer form.

          (b) The consideration received by the Trust for the issuance of the
Securities shall constitute a contribution to the capital of the Trust and shall
not constitute a loan to the Trust.

          (c) Upon issuance of the Securities as provided in this Declaration,
the Securities so issued shall be deemed to be validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable, subject to Section 10.01 with respect to the Common Securities.

          (d) Every Person, by virtue of having become a Holder or a Preferred
Security Beneficial Owner in accordance with the terms of this Declaration,
shall be deemed to have expressly assented and agreed to the terms of, and shall
be bound by, this Declaration.

     Section 7.02. EXECUTION AND AUTHENTICATION. (a) The Securities shall be
signed on behalf of the Trust by one Regular Trustee. In case any Regular
Trustee of the Trust who shall have signed any of the Securities shall cease to
be such Regular Trustee before the Securities so signed shall be delivered by
the Trust, such Securities nevertheless may be delivered as though the person
who signed such Securities had not ceased to be such Regular Trustee; and any
Securities may be signed on behalf of the Trust by such persons who, at the
actual date of execution of such Security, shall be the Regular Trustees of the
Trust, although at the date of the execution and delivery of the Declaration any
such person was not such a Regular Trustee.

          (b) One Regular Trustee shall sign the Preferred Securities for the
Trust by manual or facsimile signature. Unless otherwise determined by the
Trust, such signature shall, in the case of Common Securities, be a manual
signature.

          A Preferred Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the
manual signature of an authorized officer of the Property Trustee. The signature
shall be conclusive evidence that the Preferred Security has been authenticated
under this Declaration.

          Upon a written order of the Trust signed by one Regular Trustee, the
Property Trustee shall authenticate the Preferred Securities for original
issuance. The aggregate number of Preferred Securities outstanding at any time
shall not exceed the number set forth in the Terms in Annex I hereto except as
provided in Section 7.06.


                                       27
<PAGE>

          The Property Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to
the Trust to authenticate Preferred Securities. An authenticating agent may
authenticate Preferred Securities whenever the Property Trustee may do so. Each
reference in this Declaration to authentication by the Property Trustee includes
authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as the
Property Trustee to deal with the Company or an Affiliate.

     Section 7.03. BOOK-ENTRY PREFERRED SECURITIES CERTIFICATES; DEFINITIVE
PREFERRED SECURITIES CERTIFICATES; COMMON SECURITIES CERTIFICATE. (a) The
Preferred Securities, upon original issuance, will be issued in the form of a
typewritten Preferred Securities Certificate or Certificates representing
Book-Entry Preferred Securities Certificates ("Global Certificate"), to be
delivered to the Depositary by, or on behalf of, the Trust. Such Global
Certificate or Certificates shall initially be registered on the Securities
Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency,
and no Holder will receive a definitive Preferred Securities Certificate
representing such Holder's interest in such Preferred Securities, except as
provided in Section 7.03(b) below. Unless and until Definitive Preferred
Securities Certificates have been issued to Holders pursuant to Section 7.03(b):

               (i) the provisions of this Section 7.03(a) shall be in full force
and effect;

               (ii) the Securities Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Trustees
shall be entitled to deal with the Depositary for all purposes of this Trust
Agreement relating to the Book-Entry Preferred Securities Certificates
(including the payment of principal of and Distributions on the Book-Entry
Preferred Securities and the giving of instructions or directions to Holders of
Book-Entry Preferred Securities) and shall have no obligations to the Holders
thereof;

               (iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 7.03(a)
conflict with any other provisions of this Trust Agreement, the provisions of
this Section 7.03(a) shall control; the rights of the Holders of the Book-Entry
Preferred Securities Certificates shall be exercised only through the Depositary
and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such
Holders and the Depositary and/or the Depositary Participants. Pursuant to the
Certificate Depositary Agreement, unless and until Definitive Preferred
Securities Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 7.03(b), the initial
Depositary will make book-entry transfers among the Depositary Participants and
receive and transmit payments on the Preferred Securities to such Depositary
Participants; and

               (iv) whenever this Declaration requires or permits actions to be
taken based upon instructions or directions of Holders of Preferred Securities
Certificates evidencing a specified percentage of the aggregate liquidation
amount of the Securities, the Depositary shall be deemed to represent such
percentage only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect
from Holders and/or Participants owning or representing, respectively, such
required percentage of the beneficial interest in the applicable class of
Preferred Securities Certificates and has delivered such instructions to the
Regular Trustees.

          (b) If (i) the Sponsor advises the Trustees in writing that the
Depositary is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities with respect to the Preferred


                                       28
<PAGE>

Securities Certificates, and the Sponsor is unable to locate a qualified
successor, (ii) the Sponsor at its option advises the Trustees in writing that
it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depositary or (iii)
after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Holders of Preferred Securities
Certificates representing beneficial interests aggregating at least a Majority
in liquidation amount of the Securities advise the Depositary in writing that
the continuation of a book-entry system through the Depositary is no longer in
the best interest of the Holders of Preferred Securities Certificates, then the
Depositary shall notify all Holders of Preferred Securities Certificates and the
Trustees of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of the
Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates to Holders requesting the same. If
the Depositary elects to discontinue its services as securities depositary with
respect to the Preferred Securities, the Regular Trustees may, in their sole
discretion, appoint a successor Depositary with respect to such Preferred
Securities. Upon surrender to the Regular Trustees of the typewritten Global
Certificate or Certificates by the Depositary, accompanied by registration
instructions, the Regular Trustees, or any one of them, shall execute the
Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates in accordance with the instructions
of the Depositary. Neither the Securities Registrar or the Trustees shall be
liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely
on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance
of Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates, the Trustees shall recognize
the Holders of the Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates as Security
Holders. The Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates shall be printed,
lithographed or engraved or may be produced in any other manner as is reasonably
acceptable to the Regular Trustees, as evidenced by the execution thereof by the
Regular Trustees or any one of them.

          (c) Common Securities Certificate. A single Common Securities
Certificate representing the Common Securities shall be issued to the Sponsor, a
specimen certificate being attached hereto as Exhibit B.

     Section 7.04. REGISTRAR AND PAYING AGENT. The Trust shall maintain in New
York, New York (i) an office or agency where Preferred Securities may be
presented for registration of transfer or for exchange ("Registrar"), and (ii)
an office or agency where Preferred Securities may be presented for payment
("Paying Agent"). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Preferred
Securities and of their transfer and exchange. The Trust may appoint the
Registrar and the Paying Agent and may appoint one or more co-registrars and one
or more additional paying agents in such other locations as it shall determine.
The term "Paying Agent" includes any additional paying agent. The Trust may
change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without prior notice to any
Holder. The Trust shall notify the Property Trustee of the name and address of
any Agent not a party to this Declaration. If the Trust fails to appoint or
maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Property Trustee shall
act as such. The Trust or any of its Affiliates may act as Paying Agent or
Registrar. The Trust shall act as Paying Agent, Registrar and co-registrar for
the Common Securities.

          The Trust initially appoints the Property Trustee as Registrar and
Paying Agent for the Preferred Securities.

     Section 7.05. PAYING AGENT TO HOLD MONEY IN TRUST. The Trust shall require
each Paying Agent other than the Property Trustee to agree in writing that the
Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Property
Trustee all money held


                                       29
<PAGE>

by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal or Distributions on Securities,
and will notify the Property Trustee if there are insufficient funds. While any
such insufficiency continues, the Property Trustee may require a Paying Agent to
pay all money held by it to the Property Trustee. The Trust at any time may
require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Property Trustee and
to account for any money disbursed by it. Upon payment over to the Property
Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Trust or an Affiliate of the Trust)
shall have no further liability for the money. If the Trust or the Sponsor or an
Affiliate of the Trust or the Sponsor acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate
and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held
by it as Paying Agent.

     Section 7.06. REPLACEMENT SECURITIES. If the Holder of a Security claims
that the Security has been mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken or if
such Security is mutilated and is surrendered to the Trust or in the case of the
Preferred Securities to the Property Trustee, the Trust shall issue and the
Property Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security if the Property
Trustee's and the Trust's reasonable requirements, as the case may be, are met.
If required by the Property Trustee or the Trust, such Holder shall provide an
indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Property Trustee and the Trust
to protect the Trustees, the Property Trustee, the Sponsor or any authenticating
agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The
Company may charge for its expenses in replacing a Security.

          In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has
become or is about to become due and payable, the Sponsor in its discretion may,
instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security.

     Section 7.07. OUTSTANDING PREFERRED SECURITIES. The Preferred Securities
outstanding at any time are all the Preferred Securities authenticated by the
Property Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for
cancellation, and those described in this Section as not outstanding.

          If a Preferred Security is replaced, paid or purchased pursuant to
Section 7.06 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Property Trustee
receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced, paid or purchased Preferred
Security is held by a bona fide purchaser.

          If Preferred Securities are considered paid in accordance with the
terms of this Declaration, they cease to be outstanding and interest on them
ceases to accrue.

          A Preferred Security does not cease to be outstanding because one of
the Trust, the Sponsor or an Affiliate of the Sponsor holds the Security.

     Section 7.08. PREFERRED SECURITIES IN TREASURY. In determining whether the
Holders of the required amount of Securities have concurred in any direction,
waiver or consent, Preferred Securities owned by the Trust, the Sponsor or an
Affiliate of the Sponsor, as the case may be, shall be disregarded and deemed
not to be outstanding, except that for purposes of determining whether the
Property Trustee shall be fully protected in relying on any such direction,
waiver or consent, only Securities which a Responsible Officer of the Property
Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.


                                       30
<PAGE>

     Section 7.09. TEMPORARY SECURITIES. (a) Until definitive Securities are
ready for delivery, the Trust may prepare and, in the case of the Preferred
Securities, the Property Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities.
Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities
but may have variations that the Trust considers appropriate for temporary
Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Trust shall prepare and, in the case
of the Preferred Securities, the Property Trustee shall authenticate definitive
Securities in exchange for temporary Securities.

          (b) A Global Certificate deposited with the Depositary or with the
Property Trustee as custodian for the Depositary pursuant to Section 7.03 shall
be transferred to the beneficial owners thereof in the form of certificated
Preferred Securities only if (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is
unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Certificate or if
at any time such Depositary ceases to be a "clearing agency" registered under
the Exchange Act and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Sponsor
within 90 days of such notice, (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, or (iii) any of the events set forth in Section 7.03(b) occurs and
is continuing.

          (c) Any Global Certificate that is transferable to the beneficial
owners thereof in the form of certificated Preferred Securities pursuant to this
Section 7.09 shall be surrendered by the Depositary to the Property Trustee's
office located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, to be so
transferred, in whole or from time to time in part, without charge, and the
Property Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, upon such transfer of each
portion of such Global Certificate, an equal aggregate liquidation amount of
Securities of authorized denominations in the form of certificated Securities.
Any portion of a Global Certificate transferred pursuant to this Section shall
be any registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct.

          (d) Subject to the provisions of Section 7.09(c) and 12.02(b)(ii), the
registered holder of a Global Certificate may grant proxies and otherwise
authorize any person, including Participants and persons that may hold interests
through Participants, to take any action which a holder is entitled to take
under this Declaration or the Securities.

          (e) In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in
Section 7.09(b), the Trust will promptly make available to the Property Trustee
a reasonable supply of certificated Securities in definitive, fully registered
form without interest coupons.

     Section 7.10. CANCELLATION. The Trust at any time may deliver Preferred
Securities to the Property Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying
Agent shall forward to the Property Trustee any Preferred Securities surrendered
to them for registration of transfer, redemption, exchange or payment. The
Property Trustee shall promptly cancel all Preferred Securities, surrendered for
registration of transfer, redemption, exchange, payment, replacement or
cancellation and shall dispose of cancelled Preferred Securities as the Trust
directs. The Trust may not issue new Preferred Securities to replace Preferred
Securities that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Property Trustee
for cancellation or that any holder has converted.

with an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate stated liquidation
amount of, with an interest rate identical to the Distribution rate of, and

loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the
dissolution of the Trust and such distribution of Debentures;

               (v) the redemption of the Securities upon the final maturity of
the Debentures and the amounts necessary for redemption thereof having been paid
to the Holders in accordance with the terms of the Securities;

referred to in Section 8.01(a), the Regular Trustees shall file a certificate of
cancellation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

          (d) The provisions of Section 3.09 and Article X shall survive the
termination of the Trust.

                                  ARTICLE IX.

                                    EXCHANGE

     Section 9.01. GENERAL. (a) Where Preferred Securities are presented to the
Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer or to exchange
them for an equal number of Preferred Securities represented by different

Trustee shall authenticate Preferred Securities at the Registrar's request.

          (b) Securities may only be transferred, in whole or in part, in
accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Declaration and in
the terms of the Securities. Any transfer or purported transfer of any Security
not made in accordance with this Declaration shall be null and void.

transfer Common Securities to the Sponsor or an Affiliate of the Sponsor;
provided that, any such transfer is subject to the condition precedent that the
transferor obtain an opinion of counsel experienced in such matters that such

               (i) the Trust would not be classified for United States federal
income tax purposes as a grantor trust; and

               (ii) the Trust would be an Investment Company or the transferee

whose name any Certificate shall be registered on the books and records of the
Trust as the sole holder of such Certificate and of the Securities represented
by such Certificate for purposes of receiving Distributions and for all other
purposes whatsoever and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any
equitable or other claim to or interest in such Certificate or in the Securities
represented by such Certificate on the part of any Person, whether or not the
Trust, the Property Trustee, the Registrar or a co-Registrar shall have actual
or other notice thereof.

                               TRUSTEES OR OTHERS

     Section 10.01. LIABILITY. (a) Except as expressly set forth in this
Declaration, the Preferred Securities Guarantee and the terms of the Securities
the Sponsor shall not be:

               (i) personally liable for the return of any portion of the
capital contributions (or any return thereon) of the Holders of the Securities

               (ii) be required to pay to the Trust or to any Holder of
Securities any deficit upon dissolution of the Trust or otherwise.

          (b) The Holder of the Common Securities shall be liable for all of the
debts and obligations of the Trust (other than with respect to the Securities)
to the extent not satisfied out of the Trust's assets.

          (c) Pursuant to Section 3803(a) of the Statutory Trust Act, the
Holders of the Preferred Securities shall 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.

     Section 10.02. EXCULPATION. (a) No Indemnified Person shall be liable,
responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Trust or any Covered
Person 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
negligence or willful misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions.

          (b) An Indemnified Person shall be fully protected in relying in good
faith upon the records of the Trust and upon such information, opinions, reports
or statements presented to the Trust by any Person as to matters the Indemnified
Person reasonably believes are within such other Person's professional or expert
competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the
Trust, including information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value
and amount of the assets, liabilities, profits, losses, or any other facts
pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which Distributions to
Holders of Securities might properly be paid.

     Section 10.03. FIDUCIARY DUTY. (a) To the extent that, at law or in equity,
an Indemnified Person has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities
relating thereto to the Trust or to any other Covered Person, an Indemnified
Person acting under this Declaration shall not be liable to the Trust or to any
other Covered Person for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this
Declaration. The provisions of this Declaration, to the extent that they
restrict the duties and liabilities of an Indemnified Person otherwise existing
at law or in equity (other than the duties imposed on the Property Trustee under
the Trust Indenture Act), are agreed by the parties hereto to replace such other
duties and liabilities of such Indemnified Person.

          (b) Unless otherwise expressly provided herein:

               (i) whenever a conflict of interest exists or arises between an
Indemnified Person and any Covered Person; or

               (ii) whenever this Declaration or any other agreement
contemplated herein or therein provides that an Indemnified Person shall act in
a manner that is, or provides terms that are, fair and reasonable to the Trust
or any Holder of Securities, the Indemnified Person shall resolve such conflict
of interest, take such action or provide such terms, considering


                                       34
<PAGE>

in each case the relative interest of each party (including its own interest) to
such conflict, agreement, transaction or situation and the benefits and burdens
relating to such interests, any customary or accepted industry practices, and
any applicable generally accepted accounting practices or principles. In the
absence of bad faith by the Indemnified Person, the resolution, action or term
so made, taken or provided by the Indemnified Person shall not constitute a
breach of this Declaration or any other agreement contemplated herein or of any
duty or obligation of the Indemnified Person at law or in equity or otherwise.

          (c) Whenever in this Declaration an Indemnified Person is permitted or
required to make a decision

               (i) in its "discretion" or under a grant of similar authority,
the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to consider such interests and factors
as it desires, including its own interests, and shall have no duty or obligation
to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Trust or
any other Person; or

               (ii) in its "good faith" or under another express standard, the
Indemnified Person shall act under such express standard and shall not be
subject to any other or different standard imposed by this Declaration or by
applicable law.

     Section 10.04. INDEMNIFICATION. (a) To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, the Sponsor shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified
Person from and against any loss, damage, liability, tax, penalty, expense or
claim of any kind or nature whatsoever incurred by such Indemnified Person by
reason of the creation, operation or termination of the Trust or 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 this
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 negligence or willful misconduct with respect to such acts
or omissions.

          (b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, expenses
(including legal fees and expenses) incurred by an Indemnified Person in
defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to
time, be advanced by the Sponsor prior to the final disposition of such claim,
demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Sponsor 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 as
authorized in Section 10.04(a). The indemnification shall survive the
resignation or removal of an Indemnified Person and the termination of this
Declaration.

     Section 10.05. OUTSIDE BUSINESSES. Any Covered Person, the Sponsor, the
Delaware Trustee and the Property Trustee may engage in or possess an interest
in other business ventures of any nature or description, independently or with
others, similar or dissimilar to the business of the Trust, and the Trust and
the Holders of Securities shall have no rights by virtue of this Declaration in
and to such independent ventures or the income or profits derived therefrom and
the pursuit of any such venture, even if competitive with the business of the
Trust, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper. No Covered Person, the Sponsor,
the Delaware Trustee, or the


                                       35
<PAGE>

full books of account, records and supporting documents, which shall reflect in
reasonable detail, each transaction of the Trust. The books of account shall be
maintained on the accrual method of accounting, in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, consistently applied. The Trust shall use the
accrual method of accounting for United States federal income tax purposes. The
books of account and the records of the Trust shall be examined by and reported
upon as of the end of each Fiscal Year by a firm of independent certified public
accountants selected by the Regular Trustees.

          (b) The Regular Trustees shall cause to be prepared and delivered to
each of the Holders of Securities, within 90 days after the end of each Fiscal
Year of the Trust, annual financial statements of the Trust, including a balance
sheet of the Trust as of the end of such Fiscal Year, and the related statements

          (c) The Regular Trustees shall cause to be duly prepared and delivered
to each of the Holders of Securities, any annual United States federal income
tax information statement, required by the Code, containing such information
with regard to the Securities held by each Holder as is required by the Code and

shall designate the signatories for the Property Trustee Account.

     Section 11.04. WITHHOLDING. The Trust and the Regular Trustees shall comply
with all withholding requirements under United States federal, state and local
law. The Trust shall request, and the Holders shall provide to the Trust, such
forms or certificates as are necessary to establish an exemption from
withholding with respect to each Holder, and any representations and forms as
shall reasonably be requested by the Trust to assist it in determining the
extent of, and in fulfilling, its withholding obligations. The Regular Trustees
shall file required forms with the applicable jurisdictions and, unless an
exemption from withholding is properly established by a Holder, shall remit
amounts withheld with respect to the Holder to applicable jurisdictions. To the
extent that the Trust is required to withhold and pay over any amounts to any
authority with respect to distributions or allocations to any Holder, the amount
withheld shall be deemed to be a distribution in the amount of the withholding
to the Holder. In the event of any claimed over-withholding, Holders shall be
limited to an action against the applicable jurisdiction. If the amount required
to be withheld was not withheld from actual Distributions made, the Trust may
reduce subsequent Distributions by the amount of such withholding.

Section 12.02. MEETINGS OF THE HOLDERS OF SECURITIES; ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT.

          (a) Meetings of the Holders of any class of Securities may be called
at any time by the Regular Trustees (or as provided in the terms of the
Securities) to consider and act on any matter on which Holders of such class of
Securities are entitled to act under the terms of this Declaration, the terms of
the Securities or the rules of any stock exchange on which the Preferred
Securities are listed or admitted for trading. The Regular Trustees shall call a
meeting of the Holders of such class if directed to do so by the Holders of at
least 10% in liquidation amount of such class of Securities. Such direction
shall be given by delivering to the Regular Trustees one or more requests in a
writing stating that the signing Holders of Securities wish to call a meeting
and indicating the general or specific purpose for which the meeting is to be
called. Any Holders of Securities calling a meeting shall specify in writing the
Certificates held by the Holders of Securities exercising the right to call a
meeting and only those Securities represented by the Certificates so specified
shall be counted for purposes of determining whether the required percentage set
forth in the second sentence of this paragraph has been met.

          (b) Except to the extent otherwise provided in the terms of the
Securities, the following provisions shall apply to meetings of Holders of
Securities:

               (i) notice of any such meeting shall be given to all the Holders
of Securities having a right to vote thereat at least 7 days and not more than
60 days before the date of such meeting. Whenever a vote, consent or approval of
the Holders of Securities is permitted or required under this Declaration or the
rules of any stock exchange on which the Preferred Securities are listed or
admitted for trading, such vote, consent or approval may be given at a meeting
of the Holders of Securities. Any action that may be taken at a meeting of the
Holders of Securities may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing
setting forth the action so taken is signed by the Holders of Securities owning
not less than the minimum aggregate liquidation amount of Securities that would
be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all Holders
of Securities having a right to vote thereon were present and voting. Prompt
notice of the taking of action without a meeting shall be given to the Holders
of


                                       39
<PAGE>

Securities entitled to vote who have not consented in writing. The Regular
Trustees may specify that any written ballot submitted to the Security Holders
for the purpose of taking any action without a meeting shall be returned to the
Trust within the time specified by the Regular Trustees;

               (ii) each Holder of a Security may authorize any Person to act
for it by proxy on all matters in which a Holder of Securities is entitled to
participate, including waiving notice of any meeting, or voting or participating
at a meeting. 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 Securities executing it. Except as
otherwise provided herein, 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;

               (iii) each meeting of the Holders of the Securities shall be
conducted by the Regular Trustees or by such other Person that the Regular
Trustees may designate; and

               (iv) unless the Statutory Trust Act, this Declaration, the terms
of the Securities, the Trust Indenture Act or the listing rules of any stock
exchange on which the Preferred Securities are then listed or trading, provide
otherwise, the Regular Trustees, in their sole discretion, shall establish all
other provisions relating to meetings of Holders of Securities, including notice
of the time, place or purpose of any meeting at which any matter is to be voted
on by any Holders of Securities, waiver of any such notice, action by consent
without a meeting, the establishment of a record date, quorum requirements,
voting in person or by proxy or any other matter with respect to the exercise of
any such right to vote.

            $ _______ per Common Security, are hereby designated for the
            purposes of identification only as " _______ % Common Securities
            (liquidation amount $ _______ per Common Security)" (the "Common
            Securities"). The Common Securities Certificates evidencing the
            Common Securities shall be substantially in the form attached
            hereto as EXHIBIT B, with such changes and additional thereto or
            deletions therefrom as may be required by ordinary usage, custom
            or practice.

II. DISTRIBUTIONS.

     2.01.  Distributions payable on each Security will be fixed at a rate per
            annum of _______ % (the "Coupon Rate") of the stated liquidation
            amount of $ _______ per Security, such rate being the rate of
            interest payable on the Debentures to be held by the Property
            Trustee. Distributions in arrears will bear interest thereon


                                       45

* Designation to be determined by Regular Trustees.


<PAGE>

            compounded [quarterly][semi-annually] at the Coupon Rate (to the
            extent permitted by applicable law). The term "Distributions" as
            used herein includes such cash distributions and any such interest
            payable unless otherwise stated. A Distribution is payable only to
            the extent that payments are made in respect of the Debentures
            held by the Property Trustee and to the extent the Property
            Trustee has funds available therefor. The amount of Distributions
            payable for any period will be computed for any full
            [quarterly][semi-annual] Distribution period on the basis of a
            360-day year of twelve 30-day months, and for any period of less
            than a full calendar month the number of days elapsed in such
            month.

     2.02.  Distributions on the Securities will be cumulative, will accrue
            from the date of original issuance and will be payable
            [quarterly][semi-annually] in arrears, on the following dates,
            which dates correspond to the interest payment dates on the
            Debentures: _______ and _______ of each year, commencing on
            _______, 200_______, except as otherwise described below. So long
            as no Event of Default (or an event which would be an Event of
            Default with the giving of required notice or the passage of time)
            has occurred and is continuing, the Sponsor has the right under
            the Indenture 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 quarters][10 consecutive
            semi-annual periods] (each an "Extension Period") and, as a
            consequence of such deferral, Distributions will also be deferred.
            Despite such deferral, [quarterly][semi-annual] Distributions will
            continue to accrue with interest thereon (to the extent permitted
            by applicable law) at the Coupon Rate compounded
            [quarterly][semi-annually] during any such Extension Period. Prior
            to the termination of any such Extension Period, the Sponsor may
            further extend such Extension Period so long as no Event of
            Default (or an event which would be an Event of Default with the
            giving of required notice or the passage of time) has occurred and
            is continuing; provided that such Extension Period together with
            all such previous and further extensions thereof may not exceed
            [20 consecutive quarters][10 consecutive semi-annual periods] or
            extend beyond the maturity (whether at the stated maturity or by
            declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise) of
            the Debentures under the Indenture. Payments of accrued
            Distributions will be payable to Holders as they appear on the
            books and records of the Trust on the first record date after the
            end of the Extension Period. Upon the termination of any
            Extension Period and the payment of all amounts then due, the
            Sponsor may commence a new Extension Period, subject to the above
            requirements.

     2.03.  Distributions on the Securities will be payable to the Holders
            thereof as they appear on the books and records of the Trust on
            the relevant record dates. The relevant record dates shall be the
            first day of the month in which the relevant payment date falls,
            except as otherwise described in this Annex I to the Declaration.
            Subject to any applicable laws and regulations and the provisions
            of the Declaration, each such payment in respect to [Preferred]
            Securities being held in book-entry form through The Depository
            Trust Company (the "Depositary") will be made as described under
            the heading "Description of the [Preferred]


                                       46
<PAGE>

            Securities -- Book-Entry-Only Issuance --The Depository Trust
            Company" in the Prospectus. The relevant record dates for the
            Common Securities shall be the same record dates as for the
            [Preferred] Securities. Distributions payable on any Securities
            that are not punctually paid on any Distribution payment date, as
            a result of the Sponsor having failed to make payment under the
            Debentures, will cease to be payable to the Person in whose name
            such Securities are registered on the relevant record date, and
            such distributions on Securities will instead be payable to the
            Persons in whose name such Securities are registered on the
            special record date or other specified date determined in
            accordance with the Indenture. If any date on which Distributions
            are payable on the 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.

     2.04.  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.

III. LIQUIDATION DISTRIBUTION UPON DISSOLUTION.

          In the event of any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, winding-up
or termination of the Trust (including without limitation pursuant to Section
8.01(b) of the Declaration), the Holders of the Securities on the date of the
dissolution, winding-up or termination, as the case may be, will be entitled to
receive out of the assets of the Trust available for distribution to Holders of
Securities after satisfaction of liabilities of creditors of the Trust as
provided by applicable law an amount equal to the aggregate of the stated
liquidation amount of $ _______ per Security plus [any additional amount payable
upon redemption of the Debentures as a result of the Make-Whole Premium (defined
in the Indenture) and] 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, Debentures, shall
be distributed on a Pro Rata basis to the Holders of the Securities in exchange
for such Securities as provided in this Paragraph 3.

          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 Securities shall be paid on a Pro Rata basis in accordance
with paragraph 8.

          If a termination of the Trust occurs as described in clause (i), (ii),
(iii), (vi) or (vii) of Section 8.01(a) of the Declaration, the Trust shall be
liquidated by the Regular Trustees as expeditiously as the Regular Trustees
determine to be possible by distributing, after satisfaction of liabilities to
creditors of the Trust as provided by applicable law, to each holder of the
[Preferred] Securities, Debentures with an aggregate principal amount equal to
the aggregate


                                       47
<PAGE>

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, the [Preferred] Securities.

          In addition to the paragraph above, at any time the Sponsor has the
right to terminate the Trust and, after satisfaction of the liabilities of
creditors of the Trust as provided by applicable law, cause Debentures with an
aggregate principal amount of, with an interest rate identical to the Coupon
Rate of, and accrued and unpaid interest equal to accrued and unpaid
Distributions on, the outstanding Securities, to be distributed to the Holders
of the Securities in liquidation of the Trust.

          The distribution of Debentures upon any dissolution of the Trust is
conditioned upon the receipt by the Regular Trustees of an opinion of nationally
recognized independent tax counsel experienced in such matters to the effect
that the holders of the securities will not recognize any gain or loss for
United States federal income tax purposes as a result of such dissolution of the
Trust and distribution of Debentures.

          After the date fixed for any distribution of Debentures (including
pursuant to a Tax Event as set forth in paragraph 4(c) below: (i) the Securities
will no longer be deemed to be outstanding, (ii) the Depositary or its nominee
(or any successor Depositary or its nominee), as record Holder of [Preferred]
Securities represented by global certificates, will receive a registered global
certificate or certificates representing the Debentures to be delivered upon
such distribution and (iii) any certificates representing Securities, except for
certificates representing [Preferred] Securities held by the Depositary or its
nominee (or any successor Depositary or its nominee), will be deemed to
represent Debentures with 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, such Securities until such certificates are presented to the Sponsor or its
agent for transfer or reissuance.

          If, in connection with any dissolution, winding-up or termination of
the Trust, Debentures are distributed to Holders of the Securities as provided
in this paragraph 3, the procedures set forth in paragraph 4(e) will be
applicable thereto.

IV. REDEMPTION AND DISTRIBUTION.

     4.01.  Upon the repayment or payment of the Debentures in whole or in
            part, whether at maturity or upon redemption or otherwise, the
            proceeds from such repayment or redemption shall be simultaneously
            applied to redeem Securities having an aggregate liquidation
            amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures
            so repaid or redeemed at the Redemption Price per Security of 100%
            of the liquidation amount of the Security to be redeemed, [plus
            the Make-Whole Premium (as defined in the Indenture), if any,]
            together with accrued and unpaid Distributions thereon through the
            date of the redemption, payable in cash. Holders will be given not
            less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice of such redemption.

     4.02.  If fewer than all the outstanding Securities are to be so
            redeemed, the Common Securities and the [Preferred] Securities
            will be redeemed Pro Rata and the


                                       48
<PAGE>

            [Preferred] Securities to be redeemed will be as described in
            Paragraph 4(e)(ii) below.

     4.03.  If, at any time, a Tax Event shall occur and be continuing, the
            Trust shall, except as set forth below, be dissolved and
            Debentures with 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, the Securities, will
            be distributed to the Holders of the Securities in liquidation of
            such Holders' interests in the Trust Pro Rata within 90 days
            following the occurrence of such Tax Event (the "90 Day Period");
            provided, however, that such dissolution and distribution shall be
            conditioned on (i) the Regular Trustees' receipt of an opinion of
            nationally recognized independent tax counsel experienced in such
            matters (a "No Recognition Opinion"), which opinion may rely on
            published revenue rulings of the Internal Revenue Service, to the
            effect that the Holders of the Securities will not recognize any
            gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a
            result of such dissolution and distribution of Debentures and
            (ii) the Company being unable to avoid such Tax Event within the
            90 Day Period by taking some ministerial action or pursuing some
            other reasonable measure that will have no adverse effect on the
            Trust, the Company or the Holders of the Trust Securities
            ("Ministerial Action").

            If after receipt of a Dissolution Tax Opinion (as defined below)
            by the Regular Trustees (i) the Company has 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 the Company
            would be precluded from deducting the interest on the Debentures
            for United States federal income tax purposes, even after the
            Debentures were distributed to the Holders of Securities in
            liquidation of such Holders' interests in the Trust or (ii) the
            Regular Trustees shall have been informed by such tax counsel that
            it cannot deliver a No Recognition Opinion to the Trust, the
            Company shall have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than
            60 days' notice, to redeem the Debentures at 100% of the
            liquidation amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the
            date fixed for redemption, in whole or in part, for cash within 90
            days following the occurrence of such Tax Event, and, following
            such redemption, Securities with an aggregate liquidation amount
            equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures so
            redeemed shall be redeemed Pro Rata by the Trust at the Tax Event
            Redemption Price (as defined in the Indenture); provided, however,
            that (i) no Make-Whole Premium (as defined in the Indenture) shall
            be payable in connection with a redemption of Debentures upon the
            occurrence of a Tax Event and (ii) if at the time there is
            available to the Company or the Trust the opportunity to
            eliminate, within the 90 Day Period, the Tax Event by taking some
            Ministerial Action, the Company or the Trust will pursue such
            measure in lieu of redemption.

            "Tax Event" means that the Regular Trustees shall have obtained an
            opinion of nationally recognized independent tax counsel
            (reasonably acceptable to the Regular Trustees) experienced in
            such matters (a "Dissolution Tax Opinion") to


                                       49
<PAGE>

            the effect that, as a result of (a) any amendment to, or change
            (including any announced prospective change; provided that a Tax
            Event shall not occur more than 90 days before the effective date
            of any such prospective change) in, the laws (or any regulations
            thereunder) of the United States or any political subdivision or
            taxing authority thereof or therein or (b) any official
            administrative pronouncement or judicial decision interpreting or
            applying 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 on or after the date of
            original issuance of the [Preferred] Securities), which amendment
            or change is effective or which pronouncement or decision is
            announced on or after the date of original issuance of the
            [Preferred] Securities, there is more than an insubstantial risk
            that (i) the Trust is or will be subject to United States federal
            income tax with respect to interest received on the Debentures,
            (ii) interest payable in cash to the Trust on the Debentures is
            not, or will not be, deductible, in whole or in part, by the
            Company for United States federal income tax purposes or (iii)
            the Trust is or will be subject to more than a de minimis amount
            of other taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental
            charges.

     4.04.  The Securities will not be redeemed unless all accrued and unpaid
            Distributions have been paid on all Securities for all
            [quarterly][semi-annual] Distribution periods terminating on or
            before the date of redemption.

     4.05.  (a)    Notice of any redemption of, or notice of distribution of
                   Debentures in exchange for the Securities (a
                   "Redemption/Distribution Notice") will be given by the
                   Trust by mail to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed
                   or exchanged not fewer than 30 nor more than 60 days before
                   the date fixed for redemption or exchange thereof which, in
                   the case of a redemption, will be the date fixed for
                   redemption of the Debentures. For purposes of the
                   calculation of the date of redemption or exchange and the
                   dates on which notices are given pursuant to this paragraph
                   4(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
                   Securities. Each Redemption/Distribution Notice shall be
                   addressed to the Holders of 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.

            (b)    In the event that fewer than all the outstanding Securities
                   are to be redeemed, the Securities to be redeemed shall be
                   redeemed Pro Rata from each Holder of [Preferred]
                   Securities, it being understood that, in respect of
                   [Preferred] Securities registered in the name of and held
                   of record by the Depositary (or any successor Depositary)
                   or any nominee, the distribution of the proceeds of such
                   redemption will be made to each Depositary Participant (or
                   Person on whose behalf such nominee holds


                                       50
<PAGE>

                   such securities) in accordance with the procedures applied
                   by such agency or nominee.

            (c)    If Securities are to be redeemed and the Trust gives a
                   Redemption/Distribution Notice, which notice may only be
                   issued if the Debentures are redeemed as set out in this
                   paragraph 4 (which notice will be irrevocable), then (A)
                   with respect to [Preferred] Securities held in book-entry
                   form, by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the redemption
                   date, provided that the Sponsor has paid the Property
                   Trustee a sufficient amount of cash in connection with the
                   related redemption or maturity of the Debentures, the
                   Property Trustee will deposit irrevocably with the
                   Depositary (or successor Depositary) funds sufficient to
                   pay the amount payable on redemption with respect to such
                   [Preferred] Securities and will give the Depositary
                   irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the amount
                   payable on redemption to the Holders of such [Preferred]
                   Securities, and (B) with respect to [Preferred] Securities
                   issued in certificated form and Common Securities, provided
                   that the Sponsor has paid the Property Trustee a sufficient
                   amount of cash in connection with the related redemption or
                   maturity of the Debentures, the Property Trustee will
                   irrevocably deposit with the Paying Agent funds sufficient
                   to pay the amount payable on redemption to the Holders of
                   such Securities upon surrender of their certificates. If a
                   Redemption/ Distribution Notice shall have been given and
                   funds deposited as required, then on the date of such
                   deposit, all rights of Holders of such Securities so called
                   for redemption will cease, except the right of the Holders
                   of such Securities to receive the redemption price, but
                   without interest on such redemption price. Neither the
                   Regular Trustees nor the Trust shall be required to
                   register or cause to be registered the transfer of any
                   Securities that have been so called for redemption. If any
                   date fixed for redemption of Securities is not a Business
                   Day, then payment of the amount payable on such date will
                   be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day
                   (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 any Securities is improperly withheld or refused and not
                   paid either by the Trust or by the Sponsor as guarantor
                   pursuant to the [Preferred] Securities Guarantee,
                   Distributions on such Securities will continue to accrue at
                   the then applicable rate, 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 amount payable upon redemption
                   (other than for purposes of calculating any premium).

            (d)    Redemption/Distribution Notices shall be sent by the
                   Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust to (A) in the case
                   of [Preferred] Securities held in book-entry form, the
                   Depositary and, in the case of Securities held in


                                       51
<PAGE>

                   certificated form, the Holders of such certificates and (B)
                   in respect of the Common Securities, the Holder thereof.

            (e)    Subject to the foregoing and applicable law (including,
                   without limitation, United States federal securities laws),
                   the Sponsor 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.

V. VOTING RIGHTS - [PREFERRED] SECURITIES.

     5.01.  Except as provided in this Annex I, in the Statutory Trust Act and
            as otherwise required by law, the Declaration and the Indenture,
            the Holders of the [Preferred] Securities will have no voting
            rights.

     5.02.  The Holders of the [Preferred] Securities shall have the rights
            with respect to the enforcement of payment of principal, premium,
            if any, and interest on the Debentures as are set forth herein, in
            the Declaration or in the Indenture. Subject to the requirements
            set forth in this paragraph, the Holders of a majority in
            liquidation amount of the [Preferred] Securities, voting
            separately as a class may direct the time, method, and place of
            conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Property
            Trustee, or direct the exercise of any trust or power conferred
            upon the Property Trustee under the Declaration, including the
            right to direct the Property Trustee, as holder of the Debentures,
            to (i) direct the time, method, place of conducting any proceeding
            for any remedy available to the Debenture Trustee, or exercising
            any trust or power conferred on the Debenture Trustee with respect
            to the Debentures, (ii) waive any past default and its
            consequences that is waivable under Section 5.13 of the Indenture
            or otherwise, (iii) exercising 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 or act of the Holders of
            greater than a majority of the Holders in principal amount of
            Debentures affected thereby (a "Super Majority"), the Property
            Trustee may only give such consent or take such action at the
            direction of the Holders of at least the proportion in
            liquidation amount of the [Preferred] Securities which the
            relevant Super Majority represents of the aggregate principal
            amount of the Debentures outstanding. The Property Trustee shall
            not, and none of the other Trustees shall in any event, revoke
            any action previously authorized or approved by a vote of the
            Holders of the [Preferred] Securities, except by a subsequent
            vote of the Holders of the [Preferred] Securities. Other than
            with respect to directing the time, method and place of
            conducting any remedy available to the Property Trustee as set
            forth above, the Property Trustee shall not take any action in
            accordance with the directions of the Holders of the [Preferred]
            Securities under this paragraph unless the Property Trustee has
            obtained an opinion of tax counsel to the effect that, as a


                                       52
<PAGE>

            result of such action, the Trust will not fail to be classified
            as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes.

            If the Property Trustee is the sole holder of the Debentures, any
            Holder of the [Preferred] Securities shall have the right, to the
            fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to institute suit on
            behalf of the Trust for the enforcement of the right to receive
            payment of the principal of and interest, and premium, if any, on
            the Debentures on or after the Stated Maturity (as defined in the
            Indenture) of such Debentures or, in the case of redemption, on
            the Redemption Date (as defined in the Indenture). In addition,
            the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate liquidation amount of
            [Preferred] Securities Outstanding shall be entitled, to the
            fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to institute any other
            proceeding in the event the Debenture Trustee or the Property
            Trustee fails to do so in accordance with the terms of the
            Indenture.

            If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
            Holders of a majority in liquidation amount of the [Preferred]
            Securities, voting as a class at a meeting of Holders of
            [Preferred] Securities, shall have the exclusive right to remove
            the Property Trustee.

            In addition to any other rights of the Holders provided herein or
            in the Declaration, if the Property Trustee fails to enforce its
            rights, as holder of the Debentures, under the Indenture, any
            Holder of [Preferred] Securities may, to the fullest extent
            permitted by applicable law, institute a legal proceeding directly
            against the Sponsor, to enforce the rights of the Property
            Trustee, as holder of the Debentures, under the Indenture, without
            first instituting any legal proceeding against the Property
            Trustee or any other Person. Any 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 in 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 the following information:
            (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 the [Preferred] Securities
            will be required for the Trust to redeem and cancel [Preferred]
            Securities or to distribute the Debentures in accordance with the
            Declaration and the terms of the Securities. Notwithstanding that
            Holders of [Preferred] Securities are entitled to vote or consent
            under any of the circumstances described above, any of the
            [Preferred] Securities that are owned by the Sponsor or any
            Affiliate of the Sponsor shall not


                                       53
<PAGE>

            be entitled to vote or consent and shall, for purposes of such
            vote or consent, be treated as if they were not outstanding.

VI.  VOTING RIGHTS - COMMON SECURITIES.

     6.01.  Except as provided in this Annex I, in the Statutory Trust Act and
            as otherwise required by law and the Declaration, the Holders of
            the Common Securities will have no voting rights.

     6.02.  The Holders of the Common Securities are entitled, in accordance
            with Article V of the Declaration, to vote to appoint, remove or
            replace any Trustee.

     6.03.  Subject to Section 2.06 of the Declaration and only after the
            Event of Default with respect to the [Preferred] Securities has
            been cured, waived, or otherwise eliminated and subject to the
            requirements of the second to last sentence of this paragraph, the
            Holders of the Majority in liquidation amount of the Common
            Securities, voting separately as a class, may 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 (i) directing the time, method, place of conducting any
            proceeding for any remedy available to the Debenture Trustee, or
            exercising any trust or power conferred on the Debenture Trustee
            with respect to the Debentures, (ii) waiving any past default and

            termination of the Indenture or the Debentures, where such consent
            shall be required; provided that, where a consent or action
            under the Indenture would require the consent or act of the
            Holders of greater than a majority in principal amount of
            Debentures affected thereby (a "Super Majority"), the Property
            Trustee may only give such consent or take such action at the
            direction of the Holders of at least the proportion in
            liquidation amount of the Common Securities which the relevant
            Super Majority represents of the aggregate principal amount of
            the Debentures outstanding. The Property Trustee shall not revoke
            any action previously authorized or approved by a vote of the
            Holders of the [Preferred] Securities, except by a subsequent
            vote of the Holders of the [Preferred] Securities. Other than
            with respect to directing the time, method and place of
            conducting any remedy available to the Property Trustee or the

            Holders of the Common Securities under this paragraph unless the
            Property Trustee has obtained an opinion of tax counsel to the
            effect that, as a result of such action the Trust will not fail
            to be classified as a grantor trust for United States federal
            income tax purposes. If the Property Trustee fails to enforce its
            rights, as holder of the Debentures, under the Indenture, any
            Holder of Common Securities may, institute a legal proceeding
            directly against the Sponsor, to enforce the Property Trustee's
            rights, as holder of the Debentures, under the Indenture, without
            first instituting any legal proceeding against the Property
            Trustee or any other Person.


                                       54

            Any approval or direction 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 in 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

            Securities. Each such notice will include a statement setting

            to distribute the Debentures in accordance with the Declaration
            and the terms of the Securities.

VII. AMENDMENTS TO DECLARATION AND INDENTURE.

     7.01.  In addition to any requirements under Section 12.01 of the
            Declaration, 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 as described in Section
            8.01 of the Declaration, then the Holders of outstanding
            Securities as a class, will be entitled to vote on such amendment
            or proposal (but not on any other amendment or proposal) and such
            amendment or proposal shall not be effective except (a) with the
            approval of the Holders of at least 66-2/3% in liquidation amount
            of the Securities, voting together as a single class and (ii) upon
            receipt by the Regular Trustees of an opinion of counsel to the
            effect that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to
            the Regular Trustees in accordance with such amendment will not
            affect the Trust's status as a grantor trust for United States
            federal income tax purposes or the Trust's exemption from the
            status of an "investment company" under the Investment Company
            Act; provided, however, if any amendment or proposal referred to
            in clause (i) above would adversely affect only the [Preferred]
            Securities or only 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.

     7.02.  In the event the consent of the Property Trustee as the holder of
            the Debentures is required under the Indenture with respect to any
            amendment, modification or termination of the Indenture or the
            Debentures, the Property Trustee shall request the direction of
            the Holders of the Securities with respect to such amendment,
            modification or termination and shall vote with respect to such
            amendment, modification or termination as directed by a Majority
            in liquidation amount of the


                                       55
<PAGE>

            Securities voting together as a single class; provided, however,
            that where a consent under the Indenture would require the consent
            of the holders of more than a majority of the aggregate principal
            amount of the Debentures, the Property Trustee may only give such
            consent at the direction of the Holders of at least the same
            proportion in aggregate stated liquidation preference of the
            Securities; provided, however, that the Property Trustee shall not
            take any action in accordance with the directions of the Holders of
            the Securities under this paragraph unless the Property Trustee has
            obtained an opinion of tax counsel to the effect that for the
            purposes of United States federal income tax the Trust will not
            be classified as other than a grantor trust on account of such
            action.

VIII. PRO RATA.

          A reference in these terms of the 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, on any distribution date or redemption date
an Event of Default under the Declaration has occurred and is continuing, in
which case no payment of any distribution on, or amount payable upon redemption
of, any Common Security, and no other payment on account of the redemption,
liquidation or other acquisition of Common Securities, shall be made unless
payment in full in cash of all accumulated and unpaid Distributions on all
outstanding [Preferred] Securities for all Distribution periods terminating on
or prior thereto, or in the case of payment of the amount payable upon
redemption of the [Preferred] Securities, the full amount of such amount in
respect of all outstanding [Preferred] Securities shall have been made or
provided for, and all funds available to the Property Trustee shall first be
applied to the payment in full in cash of all Distributions on, or the amount
payable upon redemption of [Preferred] Securities then due and payable.

IX. RANKING.

          The [Preferred] Securities rank PARI PASSU with, and payment thereon
shall be made Pro Rata with, the Common Securities except that, where an Event
of Default occurs and is continuing under the Indenture, the rights of Holders
of the Common Securities to payment in respect of Distributions and payments
upon liquidation, redemption and otherwise are subordinated to the rights to
payment of the Holders of the [Preferred] Securities.

X. ACCEPTANCE OF [PREFERRED] SECURITIES GUARANTEE AND INDENTURE.

          Each Holder of [Preferred] Securities and Common Securities, by the
acceptance thereof, agrees to the provisions of the [Preferred] Securities

                          [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]

          Distributions payable on each [Preferred] Security will be fixed at a
rate per annum of _______ % (the "Coupon Rate") of the stated liquidation amount
of $ _______ per [Preferred] Security, such rate being the rate of interest
payable on the Debentures to be held by the Property Trustee. Distributions in
arrears will bear interest thereon compounded [quarterly][semi-annually] at the
Coupon Rate (to the extent permitted by applicable law). The term
"Distributions" as used herein includes such cash distributions and any such
interest payable unless otherwise stated. A Distribution is payable only to the
extent that payments are made in respect of the Debentures held by the Property
Trustee and to the extent the Property Trustee has funds available therefor. The
amount of Distributions payable for any period will be computed for any full
[quarterly][semi-annual] Distribution period on the basis of a 360-day year of
twelve 30-day months, and for any period of less than a full calendar month the
number of days elapsed in such month.

          Distributions on the [Preferred] Securities will be cumulative, will
accrue from the date of original issuance and will be payable
[quarterly][semi-annually] in arrears, on the following dates, which dates
correspond to the interest payment dates on the Debentures: _______ and _______
of each year, commencing on _______, 200_______, except as otherwise described
below. So long as no Event of Default (or an event which would be an Event of
Default with the giving of required notice or the passage of time) has occurred
and is continuing, the Debenture Issuer has the right under the Indenture 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 quarters][10
consecutive semi-annual periods] (each an "Extension Period") and, as a
consequence of such deferral, Distributions will also be deferred. Despite such
deferral, [quarterly][semi-annual] Distributions will continue to accrue with
interest thereon (to the extent permitted by applicable law) at the Coupon Rate
compounded [quarterly][semi-annually] during any such Extension Period. Prior to
the termination of any such Extension Period, the Debenture Issuer may further
extend such Extension Period so long as no Event of Default (or an event which
would be an Event of Default with the giving of required notice or the passage
of time) has occurred and is continuing; provided that such Extension Period
together with all such previous and further extensions thereof may not exceed
[20 consecutive quarters][10 consecutive semi-annual periods] or extend beyond
the maturity (whether at the stated maturity or by declaration of acceleration,
call for redemption or otherwise) of the Debentures under the Indenture.
Payments of accrued Distributions will be payable to Holders as they appear on
the books and records of the Trust on the first record date after the end of the
Extension Period. Upon the termination of any Extension Period and the payment
of all amounts then due, the Debenture Issuer may commence a new Extension
Period, subject to the above requirements.

          The [Preferred] Securities shall be redeemable as provided in the
Declaration.

                          [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]

          Distributions payable on each Common Security will be fixed at a rate
per annum of _______ % (the "Coupon Rate") of the stated liquidation amount of $
_______ per Common Security, such rate being the rate of interest payable on the
Debentures to be held by the Property Trustee. Distributions in arrears will
bear interest thereon compounded [quarterly][semi-annually] at the Coupon Rate
(to the extent permitted by applicable law). The term "Distributions" as used
herein includes such cash distributions and any such interest payable unless
otherwise stated.

          A Distribution is payable only to the extent that payments are made in
respect of the Debentures held by the Property Trustee and to the extent the
Property Trustee has funds available therefor. The amount of Distributions
payable for any period will be computed for any full [quarterly][semi-annual]
Distribution period on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, and
for any period of less than a full calendar month the number of days elapsed in
such month.

          Distributions on the Common Securities will be cumulative, will accrue
from the date of original issuance and will be payable
[quarterly][semi-annually] in arrears, on the following dates, which dates
correspond to the interest payment dates on the Debentures: _______ and _______
of each year, commencing on _______, 200_______, except as otherwise described
below. So long as no Event of Default (or an event which would be an Event of
Default with the giving of required notice or the passage of time) has occurred
and is continuing, the Debenture Issuer has the right under the Indenture 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 quarters][10
consecutive semi-annual periods] (each an "Extension Period") and, as a
consequence of such deferral, Distributions will also be deferred. Despite such
deferral, [quarterly][semi-annual] Distributions will continue to accrue with
interest thereon (to the extent permitted by applicable law) at the Coupon Rate
compounded [quarterly][semi-annually] during any such Extension Period. Prior to
the termination of any such Extension Period, the Debenture Issuer may further
extend such Extension Period so long as no Event of Default (or an event which
would be an Event of Default with the giving of required notice or the passage
of time) has occurred and is continuing; provided that such Extension Period
together with all such previous and further extensions thereof may not exceed
[20 consecutive quarters][10 consecutive semi-annual periods] or extend beyond
the maturity (whether at the stated maturity or by declaration of acceleration,
call for redemption or otherwise) of the Debentures under the Indenture.
Payments of accrued Distributions will be payable to Holders as they appear on
the books and records of the Trust on the first record date after the end of the
Extension Period. Upon the termination of any Extension Period and the payment
of all amounts then due, the Debenture Issuer may commence a new Extension
Period, subject to the above requirements.

          The Common Securities shall be redeemable as provided in the
Declaration.
