     and filing of any documents to be executed and filed by the Trust or on
     behalf of the Trust, as the Sponsor deems necessary or advisable in order
     to comply with the applicable laws of any such States in connection with
     the sale of the Capital Securities; and

          (iii) the taking of any other actions necessary or desirable to carry
     out any of the foregoing activities.

          (d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
Administrators, the Institutional Trustee and the Holders of a Majority in
liquidation amount of the Common Securities are authorized and directed to
conduct the affairs of the Trust and to operate the Trust so that (i) the Trust
will not be deemed to be an "investment company" required to be registered under
the Investment Company Act (in the case of the Institutional Trustee, to the
actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer), and (ii) the Trust will not fail to
be classified as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax
purposes(in the case of the Institutional Trustee, to the actual knowledge of a
Responsible Officer) and (iii) the Trust will not take any action inconsistent
with the treatment of the Debentures as indebtedness of the Debenture Issuer for
United States federal income tax purposes (in the case of the Institutional
Trustee, to the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer). In this connection,
the Institutional Trustee, the Administrators and the Holders of a Majority in
liquidation amount of the Common Securities are authorized to take any action,
not inconsistent with applicable laws or this Declaration, as amended from time
to time, that each of the Institutional Trustee, the Administrators and such
Holders determine in their discretion to be necessary or desirable for such
purposes, even if such action adversely affects the interests of the Holders of
the Capital Securities.

          (e) All expenses incurred by the Administrators or the Trustees
pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be reimbursed by the Sponsor, and the
Trustees shall have no obligations with respect to such expenses.

          (f) The assets of the Trust shall consist of the Trust Property.

          (g) Legal title to all Trust Property shall be vested at all times in
the Institutional Trustee (in its capacity as such) and shall be held and
administered by the Institutional Trustee for the benefit of the Trust in
accordance with this Declaration.

          (h) If the Institutional Trustee or any Holder has instituted any
proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Declaration and such
proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been
determined adversely to the Institutional Trustee or to such Holder, then and in
every such case the Sponsor, the Institutional Trustee and the Holders shall,
subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and
respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and
remedies of the Institutional Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though
no such proceeding had been instituted.

          (b) acquire any assets other than as expressly provided herein;

          (c) possess Trust Property for other than a Trust purpose;

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 unless the Trust shall have received a written opinion of counsel
experienced in such matters to the effect that such amendment, modification or
termination will not cause the Trust to cease to be classified as a grantor
trust for United States federal income tax purposes.

     Section 2.8. Powers and Duties of the Institutional Trustee.
                  ----------------------------------------------

          (a) The legal title to the Debentures shall be owned by and held of
record in the name of the Institutional Trustee in trust for the benefit of the
Trust. The right, title and interest of the Institutional Trustee to the
Debentures shall vest automatically in each Person who may hereafter be
appointed as Institutional Trustee in accordance with Section 4.7. Such vesting
and cessation of title shall be effective whether or not conveyancing documents
with regard to the Debentures have been executed and delivered.

          (b) The Institutional Trustee shall not transfer its right, title and
interest in the Debentures to the Administrators or to the Delaware Trustee.

          (c) The Institutional Trustee shall:

                                       15

<PAGE>

          (i) establish and maintain a segregated non-interest bearing trust
     account (the "Property Account") in the United States (as defined in
     Treasury Regulations section 301.7701-7), in the name of and under the
     exclusive control of the Institutional Trustee, and maintained in the
     Institutional Trustee's trust department, on behalf of the Holders of the
     Securities and, upon the receipt of payments of funds made in respect of
     the Debentures held by the Institutional Trustee, deposit such funds into
     the Property Account and make payments to the Holders of the Capital
     Securities and Holders of the Common Securities from the Property Account
     in accordance with Section 5.1. Funds in the Property Account shall be held
     uninvested until disbursed in accordance with this Declaration;

          (ii) engage in such ministerial activities as shall be necessary or
     appropriate to effect the redemption of the Capital Securities and the
     Common Securities to the extent the Debentures are redeemed or mature; and

          (iii) upon written notice of distribution issued by the Administrators
     in accordance with the terms of the Securities, engage in such ministerial
     activities as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect the distribution
     of the Debentures to Holders of Securities upon the occurrence of certain
     circumstances pursuant to the terms of the Securities.

          (d) The Institutional Trustee shall take all actions and perform such
duties as may be specifically required of the Institutional Trustee pursuant to
the terms of the Securities.

          (e) The Institutional Trustee may bring or defend, pay, collect,
compromise, arbitrate, resort to legal action with respect to, or otherwise
adjust claims or demands of or against, the Trust (a "Legal Action") which arise
out of or in connection with an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer
of the Institutional Trustee has actual knowledge or the Institutional Trustee's
duties and obligations under this Declaration or the Trust Indenture Act;
provided, however, that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
and such event is attributable to the failure of the Debenture Issuer to pay
interest or principal on the Debentures on the date such interest or principal
is otherwise payable (or in the case of redemption, on the redemption date),
then a Holder of the Capital Securities may directly institute a proceeding for
enforcement of payment to such Holder of the principal of or interest on the
Debentures having a principal amount equal to the aggregate liquidation amount
of the Capital Securities of such Holder (a "Direct Action") on or after the
respective due date specified in the Debentures. In connection with such Direct
Action, the rights of the Holders of the Common Securities will be subrogated to
the rights of such Holder of the Capital Securities to the extent of any payment
made by the Debenture Issuer to such Holder of the Capital Securities in such
Direct Action; provided, however, that a Holder of the Capital Securities may
exercise such right of subrogation only so long as an Event of Default with
respect to the Capital Securities has occurred and is continuing.

          (f) The Institutional Trustee shall continue to serve as a Trustee
until either:

                                       16

<PAGE>

          (i) the Trust has been completely liquidated and the proceeds of the
     liquidation distributed to the Holders of the Securities pursuant to the
     terms of the Securities and this Declaration (including Annex I); or

          (ii) a Successor Institutional Trustee has been appointed and has
     accepted that appointment in accordance with Section 4.7.

          (g) The Institutional Trustee shall have the legal power to exercise
all of the rights, powers and privileges of a Holder of the Debentures under the
Indenture and, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
Institutional Trustee may, 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 this Declaration (including Annex I) and the terms of the
Securities.

          The Institutional Trustee must exercise the powers set forth in this
Section 2.8 in a manner that is consistent with the purposes and functions of
the Trust set out in Section 2.3, and the Institutional Trustee shall not take
any action that is inconsistent with the purposes and functions of the Trust set
out in Section 2.3.

     Section 2.9. Certain Duties and Responsibilities of the Trustees and
                  -------------------------------------------------------
Administrators.
--------------

          (a) The Institutional Trustee, before the occurrence of any Event of
Default (of which the Institutional Trustee has knowledge (as provided in
Section 2.10(m) hereof) and after the curing of all Events of Default that may
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 Institutional Trustee. In case an Event of Default (of
which the Institutional Trustee has knowledge (as provided in Section 2.10(m)
hereof), has occurred (that has not been cured or waived pursuant to Section
6.7), the Institutional 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) The duties and responsibilities of the Trustees and the
Administrators shall be as provided by this Declaration and, in the case of the
Institutional Trustee, by the Trust Indenture Act. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no provision of this Declaration shall require any Trustee or
Administrator to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise
of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for
believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity satisfactory to it
against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not
therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Declaration relating to
the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the
Trustees or Administrators shall be subject to the provisions of this Article.
Nothing in this Declaration shall be construed to release a Trustee from
liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its
own willful misconduct. Nothing in this Declaration shall be construed to
release an Administrator from liability for its own gross negligent action, its
own gross negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct. To the extent
that, at law or in equity, a Trustee or an Administrator has duties and
liabilities relating to the Trust or to the Holders, such Trustee or
Administrator shall

                                       17

<PAGE>

not be liable to the Trust or to any Holder for such Trustee's or
Administrator's 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 the Administrators or the Trustees otherwise existing at law or
in equity, are agreed by the Sponsor and the Holders to replace such other
duties and liabilities of the Administrators or the Trustees.

          (c) All payments made by the Institutional Trustee or a Paying Agent
in respect of the Securities shall be made only from the revenue and proceeds
from the Trust Property and only to the extent that there shall be sufficient
revenue or proceeds from the Trust Property to enable the Institutional Trustee
or a Paying Agent to make payments in accordance with the terms hereof. Each
Holder, by its acceptance of a Security, agrees that it will look solely to the
revenue and proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent legally available for
distribution to it as herein provided and that the Trustees and the
Administrators are not personally liable to it for any amount distributable in
respect of any Security or for any other liability in respect of any Security.
This Section 2.9(c) does not limit the liability of the Trustees expressly set
forth elsewhere in this Declaration or, in the case of the Institutional
Trustee, in the Trust Indenture Act.

          (d) No provision of this Declaration shall be construed to relieve the
Institutional Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct with respect to matters
that are within the authority of the Institutional Trustee under this
Declaration, except that:

          (i) the Institutional Trustee shall not be liable for any error or
     judgment made in good faith by an Authorized Officer of the Institutional
     Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Institutional Trustee was
     negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

          (ii) the Institutional 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 Capital Securities or the Common Securities, as applicable,
     relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any
     remedy available to the Institutional Trustee, or exercising any trust or
     power conferred upon the Institutional Trustee under this Declaration;

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

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

                                       18

<PAGE>

          (v) the Institutional Trustee shall not be responsible for monitoring
     the compliance by the Administrators or the Sponsor with their respective
     duties under this Declaration, nor shall the Institutional Trustee be
     liable for any default or misconduct of the Administrators or the Sponsor.

     Section 2.10. Certain Rights of Institutional Trustee. Subject to the
                   ---------------------------------------

as to which the Holders of Capital Securities are entitled to vote under the
terms of this Declaration, the Institutional Trustee may deliver a notice to the
Sponsor requesting the Sponsor's opinion as to the course of action to be taken
and the Institutional Trustee shall take such action, or refrain from taking
such action, as the Institutional Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem
advisable and in the best interests of the Holders, in which event the
Institutional Trustee shall have no liability except for its own negligence or
willful misconduct;

          (c) any direction or act of the Sponsor or the Administrators
contemplated by this Declaration shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers'
Certificate;

an Officers' Certificate which, upon receipt of such request, shall be promptly
delivered by the Sponsor or the Administrators;

recording, filing or registration of any instrument (including any financing or
continuation statement or any filing under tax or securities laws) or any
rerecording, refiling or reregistration thereof;

          (f) the Institutional Trustee may consult with counsel of its
selection (which counsel may be counsel to the Sponsor or any of its Affiliates)
and the advice of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and
protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder
in good faith and in reliance thereon and in accordance with such advice;

                                       19

<PAGE>

the Institutional Trustee shall have the right at any time to seek instructions
concerning the administration of this Declaration from any court of competent
jurisdiction;

          (g) the Institutional Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise
any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Declaration at the request or
direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Declaration, unless such
Holders shall have offered to the Institutional Trustee security or indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which
might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction; provided,
that nothing contained in this Section 2.10(g) shall be taken to relieve the
Institutional Trustee, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (of which the
Institutional Trustee has knowledge (as provided in Section 2.10(m) hereof) that
has not been cured or waived, of its obligation to exercise the rights and
powers vested in it by this Declaration;

          (h) the Institutional Trustee shall not be bound to make any
investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order,
approval, bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness or other paper
or document, unless requested in writing to do so by one or more Holders, but
the Institutional Trustee may make such further inquiry or investigation into
such facts or matters as it may see fit;

          (i) the Institutional Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through its
agents or attorneys and the Institutional Trustee shall not be responsible for
any misconduct or negligence on the part of, or for the supervision of, any such
agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder;

          (j) whenever in the administration of this Declaration the
Institutional Trustee shall deem it desirable to receive instructions with
respect to enforcing any remedy or right or taking any other action hereunder,
the Institutional Trustee (i) may request instructions from the Holders of the
Common Securities and the Capital Securities, which instructions may be given
only by the Holders of the same proportion in liquidation amount of the Common
Securities and the Capital Securities as would be entitled to direct the
Institutional Trustee under the terms of the Common Securities and the Capital
Securities in respect of such remedy, right or action, (ii) may refrain from
enforcing such remedy or right or taking such other action until such
instructions are received, and (iii) shall be fully protected in acting in
accordance with such instructions;

          (k) except as otherwise expressly provided in this Declaration, the

          (n) any action taken by the Institutional Trustee or its agents
hereunder shall bind the Trust and the Holders of the Securities, and the

compliance with any of the terms and provisions of this Declaration, both of
which shall be conclusively evidenced by the Institutional Trustee's or its
agent's taking such action; and

Securities, consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or be replaced by, or
convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets as an entirety or
substantially as an entirety to a trust organized as such under the laws of any
State; provided, that:

          (i) if the Trust is not the survivor, such successor entity (the
     "Successor Entity") either:

               (A) expressly assumes all of the obligations of the Trust under
          the Securities; or

               (B) substitutes for the Securities other securities having
          substantially the same terms as the Securities (the "Successor
          Securities") so that the Successor Securities rank the same as the
          Securities rank with respect to Distributions and payments upon
          Liquidation, redemption and otherwise;

     Successor Securities will be listed upon notification of issuance, on any
     national securities exchange or with another organization on which the
     Capital Securities are then listed or quoted, if any;

          (iv) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement,
     conveyance, transfer or lease does not cause the Capital Securities
     (including any Successor Securities) to be downgraded by any nationally
     recognized statistical rating organization, if the Capital Securities are
     then rated;

          (v) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance,
     transfer or lease does not adversely affect the rights, preferences and
     privileges of the Holders of the Securities (including any Successor
     Securities) in any material respect (other than with respect to any
     dilution of such Holders' interests in the Successor Entity as a result of
     such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement);

                                       22

<PAGE>

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

          (vii) prior to such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement,
     conveyance, transfer or lease, the Trust has received a written opinion of
     a nationally recognized independent counsel to the Trust experienced in
     such matters to the effect that:

               (A) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement,
          conveyance, transfer or lease does not adversely affect the rights,
          preferences and privileges of the Holders of the Securities (including
          any Successor Securities) in any material respect (other than with
          respect to any dilution of the Holders' interest in the Successor
          Entity);

               (B) following such merger, consolidation, amalgamation,
          replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, neither the Trust nor the
          Successor Entity will be required to register as an Investment
          Company; and

               (C) following such merger, consolidation, amalgamation,

          Successor Entity) will continue to be classified as a grantor trust

          (viii) the Sponsor guarantees the obligations of such Successor Entity
     under the Successor Securities to the same extent provided by the
     Guarantee, the Debentures and this Declaration; and

          (ix) prior to such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement,

     counsel, each to the effect that all conditions precedent of this paragraph

          (c) Notwithstanding Section 2.15(b), the Trust shall not, except with

transfer or lease its properties and assets as an entirety or substantially as
an entirety to, any other Person or permit any other Person to consolidate,
amalgamate, merge with or into, or replace it if such consolidation,
amalgamation, merger, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease would cause the
Trust or Successor Entity to be classified as other than a grantor trust for
United States federal income tax purposes.

     Section 4.7. Appointment, Removal and Resignation of Trustees and
                  ----------------------------------------------------
Administrators.
--------------

          (a) No resignation or removal of any Trustee (the "Relevant Trustee")
and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become
effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in
accordance with the applicable requirements of this Section 4.7.

          Subject to the immediately preceding paragraph, a Relevant Trustee may
resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Holders of the
Securities and by appointing a successor Relevant Trustee. Upon the resignation
of the Institutional Trustee, the Institutional Trustee shall appoint a
successor by requesting from at least three Persons meeting the eligibility
requirements, its expenses and charges to serve as the successor Institutional
Trustee on a form provided by the Administrators, and selecting the Person who
agrees to the lowest expense and charges (the "Successor Institutional
Trustee"). If the instrument of acceptance by the successor Relevant Trustee
required by Section 4.7 shall not have been delivered to the Relevant Trustee
within 60 days after the giving of such notice of resignation or delivery of the
instrument of removal, the Relevant Trustee may petition, at the expense of the
Trust, any federal, State or District of Columbia court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Relevant Trustee. Such court may
thereupon, after prescribing such notice, if any, as it may deem proper, appoint
a Relevant Trustee. The Institutional Trustee shall have no liability for the
selection of such successor pursuant to this Section 4.7.

          Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any
Trustee may be removed at any time by an act of the Holder of a Majority in
liquidation amount of the Common Securities. If any Trustee shall be so removed,
the Holders of the Common Securities, by act of the Holders of a Majority in
liquidation amount of the Common Securities then outstanding delivered to the
Relevant Trustee, shall promptly appoint a successor Relevant Trustee, and such
successor Trustee shall comply with the applicable requirements of this Section
4.7. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Institutional Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, or both of them, may be removed
by the act of the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Capital
Securities, delivered to the Relevant Trustee (in its individual capacity and on
behalf of the Trust). If any Trustee shall be so removed, the Holders of Capital
Securities, by act of the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the
Capital Securities then outstanding delivered to the Relevant Trustee, shall
promptly appoint a successor Relevant Trustee or Trustees, and such successor
Trustee shall comply with the applicable requirements of this Section 4.7. If no
successor Relevant Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Holders of a
Majority in liquidation amount of the Capital Securities and accepted

                                       26

<PAGE>

appointment in the manner required by this Section 4.7, within 30 days after
delivery of an instrument of removal, the Relevant Trustee or any Holder who has
been a Holder of the Securities for at least six months may, on behalf of
himself and all others similarly situated, petition any federal, State or
District of Columbia court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Relevant Trustee. Such court may thereupon, after prescribing such
notice, if any, as it may deem proper, appoint a successor Relevant Trustee or
Trustees.

          The Institutional Trustee shall give notice of each resignation and
each removal of a Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee to all
Holders in the manner provided in Section 4.7(b) and shall give notice to the
Sponsor. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Relevant Trustee
and the address of its Corporate Trust Office if it is the Institutional
Trustee.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this
Declaration, in the event a Delaware Trustee who is a natural person dies or is
adjudged by a court to have become incompetent or incapacitated, the vacancy
created by such death, incompetence or incapacity may be filled by the
Institutional Trustee following the procedures in this Section 4.7 (with the
successor being a Person who satisfies the eligibility requirement for a
Delaware Trustee set forth in this Declaration) (the "Successor Delaware
Trustee").

          (b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Relevant
Trustee, the retiring Relevant Trustee and each successor Relevant Trustee with
respect to the Securities shall execute and deliver an amendment hereto wherein
each successor Relevant Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (a)
shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and
confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Relevant Trustee all the rights,
powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Relevant Trustee with respect to the
Securities and the Trust and (b) shall add to or change any of the provisions of
this Declaration as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the
administration of the Trust by more than one Relevant Trustee, it being
understood that nothing herein or in such amendment shall constitute such
Relevant Trustees co-trustees and upon the execution and delivery of such
amendment the resignation or removal of the retiring Relevant Trustee shall
become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Relevant
Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with
all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Relevant Trustee; but,
on request of the Trust or any successor Relevant Trustee such retiring Relevant
Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Relevant
Trustee all Trust Property, all proceeds thereof and money held by such retiring
Relevant Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities and the Trust subject
to the payment of all unpaid fees, expenses and indemnities of such retiring
Relevant Trustee.

          (c) No Institutional Trustee or Delaware Trustee shall be liable for
the acts or omissions to act of any Successor Institutional Trustee or Successor
Delaware Trustee, as the case may be.

          (d) The Holders of the Capital Securities will have no right to vote
to appoint, remove or replace the Administrators, which voting rights are vested
exclusively in the Holders of the Common Securities.

                                       27

<PAGE>

          (e) Any successor Delaware Trustee shall file an amendment to the
Certificate of Trust with the Delaware Secretary of State identifying the name
and principal place of business of such Delaware Trustee in the State of
Delaware.

     Section 4.8. Vacancies Among Trustees. If a Trustee ceases to hold office
                  ------------------------
for any reason and the number of Trustees is not reduced pursuant to Section
4.1, or if the number of Trustees is increased pursuant to Section 4.1, a
vacancy shall occur. A resolution certifying the existence of such vacancy by
the Trustees or, if there are more than two, a majority of the Trustees shall be
conclusive evidence of the existence of such vacancy. The vacancy shall be
filled with a Trustee appointed in accordance with Section 4.7.

     Section 4.9. Effect of Vacancies. The death, resignation, retirement,
                  -------------------
removal, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation, incompetence or incapacity to
perform the duties of a Trustee shall not operate to dissolve, terminate or
annul the Trust or terminate this Declaration. Whenever a vacancy in the number
of Trustees shall occur, until such vacancy is filled by the appointment of a
Trustee in accordance with Section 4.7, the Institutional Trustee shall have all
the powers granted to the Trustees and shall discharge all the duties imposed
upon the Trustees by this Declaration.

     Section 4.10. Meetings of the Trustees and the Administrators. Meetings of
                   -----------------------------------------------
the Trustees or the Administrators shall be held from time to time upon the call
of any Trustee or Administrator, as applicable. Regular meetings of the Trustees
and the Administrators, respectively, may be in person in the United States or
by telephone, at a place (if applicable) and time fixed by resolution of the
Trustees or the Administrators, as applicable. Notice of any in-person meetings
of the Trustees or the Administrators shall be hand delivered or otherwise
delivered in writing (including by facsimile, with a hard copy by overnight
courier) not less than 48 hours before such meeting. Notice of any telephonic
meetings of the Trustees or the Administrators or any committee thereof shall be
hand delivered or otherwise delivered in writing (including by facsimile, with a
hard copy by overnight courier) not less than 24 hours before a meeting. Notices
shall contain a brief statement of the time, place and anticipated purposes of
the meeting. The presence (whether in person or by telephone) of a Trustee or an
Administrator, as the case may be, at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of
notice of such meeting except where a Trustee or an Administrator, as the case
may be, attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the
transaction of any activity on the ground that the meeting has not been lawfully
called or convened. Unless provided otherwise in this Declaration, any action of
the Trustees or the Administrators, as the case may be, may be taken at a
meeting by vote of a majority of the Trustees or the Administrators present
(whether in person or by telephone) and eligible to vote with respect to such
matter; provided, that, in the case of the Administrators, a Quorum is present,
or without a meeting by the unanimous written consent of the Trustees or the
Administrators, as the case may be. Meetings of the Trustees and the
Administrators together shall be held from time to time upon the call of any
Trustee or Administrator.

     Section 4.11. Delegation of Power. (a) Any Trustee or any Administrator, as
                   -------------------

delegate to any other natural person over the age of 21 that is a U.S. Person
his or her power for the purpose of executing any documents, instruments or
other writings contemplated in Section 2.6; and

          (b) the Trustees shall have power to delegate from time to time to
such of their number or to any officer of the Trust that is a U.S. Person, the
doing of such things and the execution of such instruments or other writings
either in the name of the Trust or the names of the Trustees or otherwise as the
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.

may be, may be merged or converted or with which either may be consolidated, or
any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the
Institutional Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, shall be a
party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust
business of the Institutional Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may
be, shall be the successor of the Institutional Trustee or the Delaware Trustee,
as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or
any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided such Person
shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article and, provided,
further, that such Person shall file an amendment to the Certificate of Trust
with the Delaware Secretary of State as contemplated in Section 4.7(e).

     Section 5.1. Distributions. Holders shall receive Distributions in
                  -------------
accordance with the applicable terms of the relevant Holder's Securities.
Distributions shall be made on the Capital Securities and the Common Securities
in accordance with the preferences set forth in their respective terms. If and
to the extent that the Debenture Issuer makes a payment of interest (including
any Additional Interest or Deferred Interest) and/or principal on the Debentures
held by the Institutional Trustee (the amount of any such payment being a
"Payment Amount"), the Institutional Trustee shall and is directed, to the
extent funds are available in the Property Account for that purpose, to make a
distribution (a "Distribution") of the Payment Amount to Holders.

                             ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES

     Section 6.1. General Provisions Regarding Securities.
                  ---------------------------------------

          (a) The Administrators shall on behalf of the Trust issue one series
of capital securities, evidenced by a certificate substantially in the form of
Exhibit A-1, representing undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the
Trust having such terms as are set forth in

                                       29

<PAGE>

Annex I (the "Capital Securities") and one series of common securities,
evidenced by a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2,
representing undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust having
such terms as are set forth in Annex I (the "Common Securities"). The Trust
shall issue no securities or other interests in the assets of the Trust other
than the Capital Securities and the Common Securities. The Capital Securities
rank pari passu and payment thereon shall be made Pro Rata with the Common
Securities except that, where an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, 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 Capital Securities.

          (b) The Certificates shall be signed on behalf of the Trust by one or
more Administrators. Such signature shall be the facsimile or manual signature
of any Administrator. In case any Administrator of the Trust who shall have
signed any of the Securities shall cease to be such Administrator before the
Certificates so signed shall be delivered by the Trust, such Certificates
nevertheless may be delivered as though the person who signed such Certificates
had not ceased to be such Administrator; and any Certificate may be signed on
behalf of the Trust by such person who, at the actual date of execution of such
Security, shall be an Administrator of the Trust, although at the date of the
execution and delivery of the Declaration any such person was not such an
Administrator. A Capital Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the
manual signature of an Authorized Officer of the Institutional Trustee. Such
signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Capital Security has been
authenticated under this Declaration. Upon written order of the Trust signed by
one Administrator, the Institutional Trustee shall authenticate the Capital
Securities for original issue. The Institutional Trustee may appoint an
authenticating agent that is a U.S. Person acceptable to the Trust to
authenticate the Capital Securities. A Common Security need not be so
authenticated and shall be valid upon execution by one or more Administrators.

          (c) 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.

          (d) 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, and each Holder thereof shall be entitled to the benefits
provided by this Declaration.

          (e) Every Person, by virtue of having become a Holder 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 and the
Guarantee.

     Section 6.2. Paying Agent, Transfer Agent, Calculation Agent and Registrar.

The Trust shall maintain in Wilmington, Delaware, an office or agency where the
Securities may be presented for payment (the "Paying Agent"), and an office or
agency where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or
exchange (the "Transfer Agent"). The Trust shall keep or cause to be kept at
such office or agency a register for the purpose of registering Securities and
transfers and exchanges of Securities, such register to be held by a registrar
(the "Registrar"). The Administrators may appoint the Paying Agent, the
Registrar and the Transfer Agent, and

                                       30

<PAGE>

may appoint one or more additional Paying Agents or one or more co-Registrars,
or one or more co-Transfer Agents in such other locations as it shall determine.
The term "Paying Agent" includes any additional paying agent, the term
"Registrar" includes any additional registrar or co-Registrar and the term
"Transfer Agent" includes any additional transfer agent. The Administrators may
change any Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar at any time without prior
notice to any Holder. The Administrators shall notify the Institutional Trustee
of the name and address of any Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar not a
party to this Declaration. The Administrators hereby initially appoint the
Institutional Trustee to act as Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar for
the Capital Securities and the Common Securities at its Corporate Trust Office.
The Institutional Trustee or any of its Affiliates in the United States may act
as Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar.

          The Trust shall also appoint a Calculation Agent, which shall
determine the Coupon Rate in accordance with the terms of the Securities. The
Trust initially appoints the Institutional Trustee, in its individual capacity
and not as Institutional Trustee, as Calculation Agent.

     Section 6.3. Form and Dating. The Capital Securities and the Institutional
                  ---------------
Trustee's certificate of authentication thereon shall be substantially in the
form of Exhibit A-1, and the Common Securities shall be substantially in the
form of Exhibit A-2, each of which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made
a part of this Declaration. Certificates may be typed, printed, lithographed or
engraved or may be produced in any other manner as is reasonably acceptable to
the Administrators, as conclusively evidenced by their execution thereof. The
Securities may have letters, numbers, notations or other marks of identification
or designation and such legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange
rule, agreements to which the Trust is subject, if any, or usage (provided, that
any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the
Sponsor). The Trust at the direction of the Sponsor shall furnish any such
legend not contained in Exhibit A-1 to the Institutional Trustee in writing.
Each Capital Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms
and provisions of the Securities set forth in Annex I and the forms of
Securities set forth in Exhibits A-1 and A-2 are part of the terms of this
Declaration and to the extent applicable, the Institutional Trustee, the
Delaware Trustee, the Administrators and the Sponsor, by their execution and
delivery of this Declaration, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and
to be bound thereby. Capital Securities will be issued only in blocks having a
stated liquidation amount of not less than $100,000.

          The Capital Securities are being offered and sold by the Trust
pursuant to the Placement Agreement in definitive form, registered in the name
of the Holder thereof, without coupons and with the Restricted Securities
Legend.

     Section 6.4. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If:
                  -------------------------------------------------

          (a) any mutilated Certificates should be surrendered to the Registrar,
or if the Registrar shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate; and

                                       31

<PAGE>

          (b) there shall be delivered to the Registrar, the Administrators and
the Institutional Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them
to keep each of them harmless; then, in the absence of notice that such
Certificate shall have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, an Administrator
on behalf of the Trust shall execute (and in the case of a Capital Security
Certificate, the Institutional Trustee shall authenticate) and deliver, in
exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Certificate, a new Certificate of like denomination. In connection with the
issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 6.4, the Registrar or the
Administrators may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. Any
duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute
conclusive evidence of an ownership interest in the relevant Securities, as if
originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate
shall be found at any time.

     Section 6.5. Temporary Securities. Until definitive Securities are ready
                  --------------------
for delivery, the Administrators may prepare and, in the case of the Capital
Securities, the Institutional Trustee shall authenticate, temporary Securities.
Temporary Securities shall be substantially in form of definitive Securities but
may have variations that the Administrators consider appropriate for temporary
Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Administrators shall prepare and, in
the case of the Capital Securities, the Institutional Trustee shall authenticate
definitive Securities in exchange for temporary Securities.

     Section 6.6. Cancellation. The Administrators at any time may deliver
                  ------------
Securities to the Institutional Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar shall
forward to the Institutional Trustee any Securities surrendered to it for
registration of transfer, redemption or payment. The Institutional Trustee shall
promptly cancel all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer,
payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of such canceled
Securities as the Administrators direct. The Administrators may not issue new
Securities to replace Securities that have been paid or that have been delivered
to the Institutional Trustee for cancellation.

     Section 6.7. Rights of Holders; Waivers of Past Defaults.
                  -------------------------------------------

          (a) The legal title to the Trust Property is vested exclusively in the
Institutional Trustee (in its capacity as such) in accordance with Section 2.5,
and the Holders shall not have any right or title therein other than the
undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the Trust conferred by their
Securities and they shall have no right to call for any partition or division of
property, profits or rights of the Trust except as described below. The
Securities shall be personal property giving only the rights specifically set
forth therein and in this Declaration. The Securities shall have no, and the
issuance of the Securities shall not be subject to, preemptive or similar rights
and when issued and delivered to Holders against payment of the purchase price
therefore, the Securities will be fully paid and nonassessable by the Trust.

          (b) For so long as any Capital Securities remain outstanding, if, upon
an Indenture Event of Default, the Debenture Trustee fails or the holders of not
less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Debentures fail to declare
the principal of all of the Debentures to be immediately due and payable, the
Holders of not less than a Majority in liquidation amount of the Capital
Securities then outstanding shall have the right to make such

                                       32

<PAGE>

declaration by a notice in writing to the Institutional Trustee, the Sponsor and
the Debenture Trustee.

          At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the
Debentures has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the
money due has been obtained by the Debenture Trustee as provided in the
Indenture, if the Institutional Trustee subject to the provisions hereof fails
to annul any such declaration and waive such default, the Holders of not less
than a Majority in liquidation amount of the Capital Securities, by written
notice to the Institutional Trustee, the Sponsor and the Debenture Trustee, may
rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

          (i) the Sponsor has paid or deposited with the Debenture Trustee a sum
     sufficient to pay.

               (A) all overdue installments of interest on all of the
          Debentures,

               (B) any accrued Deferred Interest on all of the Debentures,

               (C) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Debentures
          that have become due otherwise than by such declaration of
          acceleration and interest and Deferred Interest thereon at the rate
          borne by the Debentures, and

               (D) all sums paid or advanced by the Debenture Trustee under the
          Indenture and the reasonable compensation, documented expenses,
          disbursements and advances of the Debenture Trustee and the
          Institutional Trustee, their agents and counsel; and

          (ii) all Events of Default with respect to the Debentures, other than
     the non-payment of the principal of the Debentures that has become due
     solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in
     Section 5.07 of the Indenture.

          The Holders of not less than a Majority in liquidation amount of the
Capital Securities may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Capital Securities,
waive any past default or Event of Default, except a default or Event of Default
in the payment of principal or interest (unless such default or Event of Default
has been cured and a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest
and principal due otherwise than by acceleration has been deposited with the
Debenture Trustee) or a default or Event of Default in respect of a covenant or
provision that under the Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the
consent of the holder of each outstanding Debenture. No such rescission shall
affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

          Upon receipt by the Institutional Trustee of written notice declaring
such an acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof by Holders of any part
of the Capital Securities, a record date shall be established for determining
Holders of outstanding Capital Securities entitled to join in such notice, which
record date shall be at the close of business on the day the Institutional
Trustee receives such notice. The Holders on such record date, or their duly
designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such
notice, whether or not

                                       33

<PAGE>

such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, that, unless such
declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be,
shall have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having joined
in such notice prior to the day that is 90 days after such record date, such
notice of declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case
may be, shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be canceled
and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a Holder, or a
proxy of a Holder, from giving, after expiration of such 90-day period, a new
written notice of declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment
thereof, as the case may be, that is identical to a written notice that has been
canceled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in which event a new
record date shall be established pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.7.

          (c) Except as otherwise provided in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
Section 6.7, the Holders of not less than a Majority in liquidation amount of
the Capital Securities may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Capital
Securities, waive any past default or Event of Default and its consequences.
Upon such waiver, any such default or Event of Default shall cease to exist, and
any default or Event of Default 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 or impair any right
consequent thereon.

                      DISSOLUTION AND TERMINATION OF TRUST

     Section 7.1. Dissolution and Termination of Trust. (a) The Trust shall
                  ------------------------------------
dissolve on the first to occur of :

          (i) unless earlier dissolved, on December 8, 2036, the expiration of
     the term of the Trust;

          (ii) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to the Sponsor, the Trust or the
     Debenture Issuer;

          (iii) (other than in connection with a merger, consolidation or
     similar transaction not prohibited by the Indenture, this Declaration or
     the Guarantee, as the case may be) the filing of a certificate of
     dissolution or its equivalent with respect to the Sponsor or upon the
     revocation of the charter of the Sponsor and the expiration of 90 days
     after the date of revocation without a reinstatement thereof;

          (iv) the distribution of the Debentures to the Holders of the
     Securities, upon exercise of the right of the Holders of all of the
     outstanding Common Securities to dissolve the Trust as provided in Annex I
     hereto;

          (v) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of any Holder of the
     Common Securities, the Sponsor, the Trust or the Debenture Issuer;

                                       34

<PAGE>

          (vi) when all of the Securities shall have been called for redemption
     and the amounts necessary for redemption thereof shall have been paid to
     the Holders in accordance with the terms of the Securities; or

          (vii) before the issuance of any Securities, with the consent of all
     of the Trustees and the Sponsor.

          (b) As soon as is practicable after the occurrence of an event
referred to in Section 7.1(a), and after satisfaction of liabilities to
creditors of the Trust as required by applicable law, including Section 3808 of
the Business Trust Act, and subject to the terms set forth in Annex I, the
Institutional Trustee shall terminate the Trust by filing a certificate of
cancellation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

          (c) The provisions of Section 2.9 and Article IX shall survive the
termination of the Trust.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                              TRANSFER OF INTERESTS

     Section 8.1. General. (a) Where Capital 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 Capital Securities represented by different
certificates, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange if
its requirements for such transactions are met. To permit registrations of
transfer and exchanges, the Trust shall issue and the Institutional Trustee
shall authenticate Capital Securities at the Registrar's request.

          (b) Upon issuance of the Common Securities, the Sponsor shall acquire
and retain beneficial and record ownership of the Common Securities and for so
long as the Securities remain outstanding, the Sponsor shall maintain 100%
ownership of the Common Securities; provided, however, that any permitted
successor of the Sponsor under the Indenture that is a U.S. Person may succeed
to the Sponsor's ownership of the Common Securities.

          (c) Capital 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 Capital Securities. To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, any transfer or purported transfer of any Security not made in
accordance with this Declaration shall be null and void and will be deemed to be
of no legal effect whatsoever and any such transferee shall be deemed not to be
the holder of such Capital Securities for any purpose, including but not limited
to the receipt of Distributions on such Capital Securities, and such transferee
shall be deemed to have no interest whatsoever in such Capital Securities.

          (d) The Registrar shall provide for the registration of Securities and
of transfers of Securities, which will be effected without charge but only upon
payment (with such indemnity as the Registrar may require) in respect of any tax
or other governmental charges that may be imposed in relation to it. Upon
surrender for registration of transfer of any Securities,

                                       35

<PAGE>

the Registrar shall cause one or more new Securities to be issued in the name of
the designated transferee or transferees. Any Security issued upon any
registration of transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Declaration
shall evidence the same Security and shall be entitled to the same benefits
under this Declaration as the Security surrendered upon such registration of
transfer or exchange. Every Security surrendered for registration of transfer
shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form similar to
Exhibits B and C satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by the Holder or
such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Security surrendered for
registration of transfer shall be canceled by the Institutional Trustee pursuant
to Section 6.6. A transferee of a Security shall be entitled to the rights and
subject to the obligations of a Holder hereunder upon the receipt by such
transferee of a Security. By acceptance of a Security, each transferee shall be
deemed to have agreed to be bound by this Declaration.

          (e) Neither the Trust nor the Registrar shall be required (i) to
issue, register the transfer of, or exchange any Securities during a period
beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of
Securities for redemption and ending at the close of business on the earliest
date on which the relevant notice of redemption is deemed to have been given to
all Holders of the Securities to be redeemed, or (ii) to register the transfer
or exchange of any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part,
except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

     Section 8.2. Transfer Procedures and Restrictions.
                  ------------------------------------

          (a) General. (i) The Capital Securities shall bear the Restricted
Securities Legend (as defined below), which shall not be removed unless there is
delivered to the Trust such satisfactory evidence, which may include an opinion
of counsel licensed to practice law in the State of New York, as may be
reasonably required by the Trust, that neither the legend nor the restrictions
on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers thereof
comply with the provisions of the Securities Act or that such Securities are not
"restricted" within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Upon
provision of such satisfactory evidence, the Institutional Trustee, at the
written direction of the Trust, shall authenticate and deliver Capital
Securities that do not bear the Restricted Securities Legend.

          (b) Transfer and Exchange of Capital Securities. When Capital
Securities are presented to the Registrar (x) to register the transfer of such
Capital Securities, or (y) to exchange such Capital Securities for an equal
number of Capital Securities of another number, the Registrar shall register the
transfer or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for
such transaction are met; provided, however, that the Capital Securities
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory
to the Trust and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his
attorney duly authorized in writing and (i) if such Capital Securities are being
transferred to a QIB, accompanied by a certificate of the transferee
substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit C hereto or (ii) if such Capital
Securities are being transferred otherwise than to a QIB, accompanied by a
certificate of the transferee substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit B
hereto.

OFFER OR SALE IN CONNECTION WITH, ANY DISTRIBUTION IN VIOLATION OF THE
SECURITIES ACT, OR (D) PURSUANT TO ANOTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE

OR ANOTHER APPLICABLE EXEMPTION OR ITS PURCHASE AND HOLDING OF THIS SECURITY IS
NOT PROHIBITED BY SECTION 406 OF ERISA OR SECTION 4975 OF THE CODE WITH RESPECT
TO SUCH PURCHASE OR HOLDING. ANY PURCHASER OR HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY OR ANY
INTEREST THEREIN WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE REPRESENTED BY ITS PURCHASE AND HOLDING
THEREOF THAT EITHER (i) IT IS NOT AN EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN WITHIN THE MEANING OF
SECTION 3(3) OF ERISA, OR A PLAN TO WHICH SECTION 4975 OF THE CODE IS
APPLICABLE, A TRUSTEE OR OTHER PERSON ACTING ON BEHALF OF AN EMPLOYEE BENEFIT
PLAN OR PLAN, OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY USING THE ASSETS OF ANY EMPLOYEE
BENEFIT PLAN OR PLAN TO FINANCE SUCH PURCHASE, OR (ii) SUCH PURCHASE WILL NOT
RESULT IN A PROHIBITED TRANSACTION UNDER SECTION 406 OF ERISA OR SECTION 4975 OF
THE CODE FOR WHICH THERE IS NO APPLICABLE STATUTORY OR ADMINISTRATIVE EXEMPTION.

          IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSFER, THE HOLDER WILL DELIVER TO THE
REGISTRAR AND TRANSFER AGENT SUCH CERTIFICATES AND OTHER INFORMATION AS MAY BE
REQUIRED BY THE AMENDED AND RESTATED DECLARATION TO CONFIRM THAT THE TRANSFER
COMPLIES WITH THE FOREGOING RESTRICTIONS.

          THIS SECURITY WILL BE ISSUED AND MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN BLOCKS
HAVING A LIQUIDATION AMOUNT OF NOT LESS THAN $100,000 AND MULTIPLES OF $1,000 IN
EXCESS THEREOF. ANY ATTEMPTED TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY IN A BLOCK HAVING A
LIQUIDATION AMOUNT OF LESS THAN $100,000 SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE VOID AND OF NO
LEGAL EFFECT WHATSOEVER. ANY SUCH PURPORTED TRANSFEREE SHALL BE DEEMED NOT TO BE
THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY FOR ANY PURPOSE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
RECEIPT OF DISTRIBUTIONS ON THIS SECURITY, AND SUCH PURPORTED TRANSFEREE SHALL
BE DEEMED TO HAVE NO INTEREST WHATSOEVER IN THIS SECURITY.

          (d) Minimum Transfers. Capital Securities may only be transferred in

$100,000 shall be deemed to be voided and of no legal effect whatsoever. Any
such purported transferee shall be deemed not to be a Holder of such Capital
Securities for any purpose, including, but not limited to, the receipt of
Distributions on such Capital Securities, and such purported transferee shall be
deemed to have no interest whatsoever in such Capital Securities.

     Section 8.3. Deemed Security Holders. The Trust, the Administrators, the
                  -----------------------
Trustees, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent or the Registrar may treat the
Person in 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

                                       38

represented by such Certificate on the part of any Person, whether or not the
Trust, the Administrators, the Trustees, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent or
the Registrar shall have actual or other notice thereof.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                           LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF
                    HOLDERS OF SECURITIES, TRUSTEES OR OTHERS

     Section 9.1. Liability. (a) Except as expressly set forth in this
                  ---------
Declaration, the 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
     which shall be made solely from assets of the Trust; and

          (ii) required to pay to the Trust or to any Holder of the 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 Business Trust Act, the Holders
of the 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; except as otherwise
specifically set forth herein.

     Section 9.2. 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 this
Declaration or by law, except that an Indemnified Person (other than an
Administrator) 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 and except that an Administrator shall be
liable for any such loss, damage, or claim incurred by reason of such
Administrator's gross 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, if selected by such Indemnified Person, has been selected by
such Indemnified Person with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Trust,
including information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value and

                                       39

<PAGE>

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 9.3. 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 Institutional Trustee
under the Trust Indenture Act), are agreed by the parties hereto to replace such
other duties and liabilities of the Indemnified Person.

          (b) 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 9.4. Indemnification. (a) (i) The Sponsor shall indemnify, to the
                  ---------------
full extent permitted by law, any Indemnified Person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(other than an action by or in the right of the Trust) by reason of the fact
that he is or was an Indemnified Person against expenses (including attorneys'
fees and expenses), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if
he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the Trust, and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order,
settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent,
shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Indemnified Person did not
act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the Trust, and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was
unlawful.

          (ii) The Sponsor shall indemnify, to the full extent permitted by law,
     any Indemnified Person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a
     party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the
     right of the Trust to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact
     that he is or was an Indemnified Person against expenses (including
     attorneys' fees and expenses) actually and reasonably incurred by him in
     connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he
     acted in good

                                       40

<PAGE>

     faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
     best interests of the Trust and except that no such indemnification shall
     be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such
     Indemnified Person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Trust
     unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of Delaware or the
     court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon
     application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all
     the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
     entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such Court of Chancery or
     such other court shall deem proper.

          (iii) To the extent that an Indemnified Person shall be successful on
     the merits or otherwise (including dismissal of an action without prejudice
     or the settlement of an action without admission of liability) in defense
     of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in paragraphs (i) and (ii) of
     this Section 9.4(a), or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein,
     he shall be indemnified, to the full extent permitted by law, against
     expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses) actually and reasonably
     incurred by him in connection therewith.

          (iv) Any indemnification of an Administrator under paragraphs (i) and
     (ii) of this Section 9.4(a) (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by
     the Sponsor only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination
     that indemnification of the Indemnified Person is proper in the
     circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set
     forth in paragraphs (i) and (ii). Such determination shall be made (A) by
     the Administrators by a majority vote of a Quorum consisting of such
     Administrators who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, (B)
     if such a Quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, if a Quorum of
     disinterested Administrators so directs, by independent legal counsel in a
     written opinion, or (C) by the Common Security Holder of the Trust.

          (v) To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses (including
     attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by an Indemnified Person in
     defending a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit
     or proceeding referred to in paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section 9.4(a)
     shall be paid by the Sponsor in advance of the final disposition of such
     action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf
     of such Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be
     determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Sponsor as
     authorized in this Section 9.4(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
     advance shall be made by the Sponsor if a determination is reasonably and
     promptly made (1) in the case of a Company Indemnified Person (A) by the
     Administrators by a majority vote of a Quorum of disinterested
     Administrators, (B) if such a Quorum is not obtainable, or, even if
     obtainable, if a Quorum of disinterested Administrators so directs, by
     independent legal counsel in a written opinion or (C) by the Common
     Security Holder of the Trust, that, based upon the facts known to the
     Administrators, counsel or the Common Security Holder at the time such
     determination is made, such Indemnified Person acted in bad faith or in a
     manner that such Person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best

                                       41

<PAGE>

     interests of the Trust, or, with respect to any criminal proceeding, that
     such Indemnified Person believed or had reasonable cause to believe his
     conduct was unlawful, or (2) in the case of a Fiduciary Indemnified Person,
     by independent legal counsel in a written opinion that, based upon the
     facts known to the counsel at the time such determination is made, such
     Indemnified Person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such Indemnified
     Person either believed to be opposed to or did not believe to be in the
     best interests of the Trust, or, with respect to any criminal proceeding,
     that such Indemnified Person believed or had reasonable cause to believe
     his conduct was unlawful. In no event shall any advance be made (i) to a
     Company Indemnified Person in instances where the Administrators,
     independent legal counsel or the Common Security Holder reasonably
     determine that such Person deliberately breached his duty to the Trust or
     its Common or Capital Security Holders or (ii) to a Fiduciary Indemnified
     Person in instances where independent legal counsel promptly and reasonably
     determines in a written opinion that such Person deliberately breached his
     duty to the Trust or its Common or Capital Security Holders.

          (b) The Sponsor shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, each Indemnified Person from and against any and all loss,
damage, liability, tax (other than taxes based on the income of such Indemnified
Person), penalty, expense or claim of any kind or nature whatsoever incurred by
such Indemnified Person arising out of or in connection with or by reason of the
creation, administration 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, liability, tax, penalty, expense or claim incurred by such
Indemnified Person by reason of negligence or willful misconduct with respect to
such acts or omissions.

          (c) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or
granted pursuant to, the other paragraphs of this Section 9.4 shall not be
deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification and
advancement of expenses may be entitled under any agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors of the Sponsor or Capital Security
Holders of the Trust or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity
and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. All rights to
indemnification under this Section 9.4 shall be deemed to be provided by a
contract between the Sponsor and each Indemnified Person who serves in such
capacity at any time while this Section 9.4 is in effect. Any repeal or
modification of this Section 9.4 shall not affect any rights or obligations then
existing.

          (d) The Sponsor or the Trust may purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of any Person who is or was an Indemnified Person against any liability
asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of
his status as such, whether or not the Sponsor would have the power to indemnify
him against such liability under the provisions of this Section 9.4.

          (e) For purposes of this Section 9.4, references to "the Trust" shall
include, in addition to the resulting or surviving entity, any constituent
entity (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation
or merger, so that any Person who is or was a director, trustee, officer or
employee of such constituent entity, or is or was serving at the request of such
constituent entity as a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of another
entity, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Section
9.4 with respect to the resulting or surviving entity as he would have with
respect to such constituent entity if its separate existence had continued.

          (f) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or
granted pursuant to, this Section 9.4 shall, unless otherwise provided when
authorized or ratified, continue as to a Person who has ceased to be an
Indemnified Person and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and
administrators of such a Person.

          The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this
Declaration or the earlier resignation or removal of the Institutional Trustee.
The obligations of the Sponsor under this Section 9.4 to compensate and
indemnify the Trustees and to pay or reimburse the Trustees for expenses,
disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder.
Such additional indebtedness shall be secured by a lien prior to that of the
Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustees as
such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the holders of particular
Capital Securities, provided, that the Sponsor is the holder of the Common
                    --------
Securities.

     Section 9.5. Outside Businesses. Any Covered Person, the Sponsor, the
                  ------------------
Delaware Trustee and the Institutional Trustee (subject to Section 4.3(c)) 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. None of any Covered Person, the Sponsor, the Delaware Trustee or the
Institutional Trustee shall be obligated to present any particular investment or
other opportunity to the Trust even if such opportunity is of a character that,
if presented to the Trust, could be taken by the Trust, and any Covered Person,
the Sponsor, the Delaware Trustee and the Institutional Trustee shall have the
right to take for its own account (individually or as a partner or fiduciary) or
to recommend to others any such particular investment or other opportunity. Any
Covered Person, the Delaware Trustee and the Institutional Trustee may engage or
be interested in any financial or other transaction with the Sponsor or any
Affiliate of the Sponsor, or may act as depositary for, trustee or agent for, or
act on any committee or body of holders of, securities or other obligations of
the Sponsor or its Affiliates.

          (a) to pay to the Trustees from time to time such compensation for all
services rendered by them hereunder as the parties shall agree in writing from
time to time (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in
regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust); and

          (b) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the
Trustees upon request for all reasonable documented expenses, disbursements and
advances incurred or made by the Trustees in accordance with any provision of
this Declaration (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and
disbursements of their respective agents and counsel), except any such expense,
disbursement or advance attributable to their negligence or willful misconduct.

          The provisions of this Section 9.6 shall survive the dissolution of
the Trust and the termination of this Declaration and the removal or resignation
of any Trustee.

fulfilling, its withholding obligations. The Administrators shall file required
forms with 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 Institutional
Trustee or any Paying Agent is required to withhold and pay over any amounts to

amount withheld shall be deemed to be a Distribution to the Holder in the amount
of the withholding. In the event of any claimed overwithholding, 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
Institutional Trustee or any Paying Agent may reduce subsequent Distributions by
the amount of such withholding.

          (a) Meetings of the Holders of any class of Securities may be called
at any time by the Administrators (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 Capital
Securities are listed or admitted for trading, if any. The Administrators shall
call a meeting of the Holders of such class if directed to do so by the Holders
of not less than 10% in liquidation amount of such class of Securities. Such
direction shall be given by delivering to the Administrators one or more calls
in a writing stating that the signing Holders of the Securities wish to call a
meeting and indicating the general or specific purpose for which the meeting is
to be called. Any Holders of the Securities calling a meeting shall specify in
writing the Certificates held by the Holders of the Securities exercising the
right to call a meeting and only those Securities represented by such
Certificates shall be counted for purposes of determining whether the required
percentage set forth in the second sentence of this paragraph has been met.

     this Declaration or the rules of any stock exchange on which the Capital
     Securities are listed or admitted for trading, if any, such vote, consent
     or approval may be given at a meeting of the Holders of the Securities. Any
     action that may be taken at a meeting of the Holders of the Securities may
     be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing setting forth the action
     so taken is signed by the Holders of the Securities owning not less than
     the minimum amount of Securities that would be necessary to authorize or
     take such action at a meeting at which all Holders of the 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 the
     Securities entitled to vote who have not consented in writing. The
     Administrators may specify that any written ballot submitted to the Holders
     of the Securities for the purpose of taking any action without a meeting
     shall be returned to the Trust within the time specified by the
     Administrators;

          (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 the
     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

                                       48

     a Delaware corporation; each meeting of the Holders of the Securities shall
     be conducted by the Administrators or by such other Person that the
     Administrators may designate; and

          (iii) unless the Business Trust Act, this Declaration, the terms of
     the Securities, the Trust Indenture Act or the listing rules of any stock
     exchange on which the Capital Securities are then listed for trading, if
     any, otherwise provides, the Administrators, 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 the 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; provided, however, that each meeting shall be conducted in the United
           --------  -------
     States (as that term is defined in Treasury regulations section

                                     ANNEX I

                                    TERMS OF
                            FLOATING RATE MMCAPS/SM/
                         FLOATING RATE COMMON SECURITIES

          Pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Amended and Restated Declaration of
Trust, dated as of November 28, 2001 (as amended from time to time, the
"Declaration"), the designation, rights, privileges, restrictions, preferences
and other terms and provisions of the Capital Securities and the Common
Securities are set out below (each capitalized term used but not defined herein
has the meaning set forth in the Declaration):

          1. Designation and Number.
             ----------------------

          (a) Capital Securities. 5,000 Capital Securities of Resource Capital
Trust II (the "Trust"), with an aggregate stated liquidation amount with respect
to the assets of the Trust of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) and a stated
liquidation amount with respect to the assets of the Trust of $1,000 per Capital
Security, are hereby designated for the purposes of identification only as the
"Floating Rate MMCapS/SM/" (the "Capital Securities"). The Capital Security
Certificates evidencing the Capital Securities shall be substantially in the
form of Exhibit A-1 to the Declaration, with such changes and additions thereto
or deletions therefrom as may be required by ordinary usage, custom or practice
or to conform to the rules of any stock exchange on which the Capital Securities
are listed, if any.

          (b) Common Securities. 155 Common Securities of the Trust (the "Common
Securities") will be evidenced by Common Security Certificates substantially in
the form of Exhibit A-2 to the Declaration, with such changes and additions
thereto or deletions therefrom as may be required by ordinary usage, custom or
practice. In the absence of an Event of Default the Common Securities will have
an aggregate stated liquidation amount with respect to the assets of the Trust
of One Hundred Fifty-Five Thousand Dollars ($155,000) and a stated liquidation
amount with respect to the assets of the Trust of $1,000 per Common Security.

          2. Distributions. (a) Distributions payable on each Security will be
             -------------
payable at a variable per annum rate of interest, reset semi-annually, equal to
LIBOR (as defined in the Declaration) plus 3.75% (the "Coupon Rate") of the
stated liquidation amount of $1,000 per Security, such rate being the rate of
interest payable on the Debentures to be held by the Institutional Trustee;
provided, that the applicable Coupon Rate may not exceed 11.0% through the
--------
Interest Payment Date in December, 2006. Except as set forth below in respect of
an Extension Period, Distributions in arrears for more than one semi-annual
period will bear interest thereon compounded semi-annually at the applicable
Coupon Rate for each such semi-annual period (to the extent permitted by
applicable law). The term "Distributions" as used herein includes cash
distributions and any such compounded distributions payable unless otherwise
stated. A Distribution is payable only to the extent that payments are made in
respect of the Debentures held by the Institutional Trustee and to the extent
the Institutional Trustee has funds available in the Property Account therefor.
The amount of Distributions payable for any period

                                     A-I-1

<PAGE>

will be computed for any full semi-annual period on the basis of a 360-day year
and the actual number of days elapsed in the relevant period.

          (b) LIBOR shall be determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance
with the following provisions:

          (1) On the second LIBOR Business Day (provided that on such day
     commercial banks are open for business (including dealings in foreign
     currency deposits) in London (a "LIBOR Banking Day"), and otherwise the
     next preceding LIBOR Business Day that is also a LIBOR Banking Day) prior
     to December 15th and June 15th (except, with respect to the first interest
     payment period, on November 26, 2001), (each such day, a "LIBOR
     Determination Date"), LIBOR shall equal the rate, as obtained by the
     Calculation Agent for six-month Eurodollar deposits in Europe which appears
     on Telerate Page 3750 (as defined in the International Swaps and
     Derivatives Association, Inc. 1991 Interest Rate and Currency Exchange
     Definitions) or such other page as may replace such Page 3750, as of 11:00
     a.m. (London time) on such LIBOR Determination Date, as reported by
     Bloomberg Financial Markets Commodities News. "LIBOR Business Day" means
     any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial
     banking institutions in New York, New York or Wilmington, Delaware, are
     authorized or obligated by law or executive order to be closed. If such
     rate is superseded on Telerate Page 3750 by a corrected rate before 12:00
     noon (London time) on the same LIBOR Determination Date, the corrected rate
     as so substituted will be the applicable LIBOR for that LIBOR Determination
     Date.

          (2) If, on any LIBOR Determination Date, such rate does not appear on
     Telerate Page 3750 or such other page as may replace such Page 3750, the
     Calculation Agent shall determine the arithmetic mean of the offered
     quotations of the Reference Banks (as defined below) to leading banks in
     the London interbank market for six-month U.S. Dollar deposits in Europe
     (in an amount determined by the Calculation Agent) by reference to requests
     for quotations as of approximately 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the LIBOR
     Determination Date made by the Calculation Agent to the Reference Banks.
     If, on any LIBOR Determination Date, at least two of the Reference Banks
     provide such quotations, LIBOR shall equal the arithmetic mean of such
     quotations. If, on any LIBOR Determination Date, only one or none of the
     Reference Banks provide such quotations, LIBOR shall be deemed to be the
     arithmetic mean of the offered quotations that at least two leading banks
     in The City of New York (as selected by the Calculation Agent) are quoting
     on the relevant LIBOR Determination Date for six-month U.S. Dollar deposits
     in Europe at approximately 11:00 a.m. (New York time) (in an amount
     determined by the Calculation Agent). As used herein, "Reference Banks"
     means four major banks in the London interbank market selected by the
     Calculation Agent.

          (3) If the Calculation Agent is required but is unable to determine a
     rate in accordance with at least one of the procedures provided above,
     LIBOR shall be LIBOR in effect on the previous LIBOR Determination Date
     (whether or not LIBOR for such period was in fact determined on such LIBOR
     Determination Date).

                                     A-I-2

<PAGE>

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

          (d) On each LIBOR Determination Date, the Calculation Agent shall
notify, in writing, the Company and the Paying Agent of the applicable Coupon
Rate in effect for the related interest payment period. The Calculation Agent
shall, upon the request of the holder of any Debt Securities, provide the Coupon
Rate then in effect. All calculations made by the Calculation Agent in the
absence of manifest error shall be conclusive for all purposes and binding on
the Company and the Holders of the Debt Securities. The Paying Agent shall be
entitled to rely on information received from the Calculation Agent or the
Company as to the Coupon Rate. The Company shall, from time to time, provide any
necessary information to the Paying Agent relating to any original issue
discount and interest on the Debt Securities that is included in any payment and
reportable for taxable income calculation purposes.

          (e) Distributions on the Securities will be cumulative, will accrue
from the date of original issuance, and will be payable, subject to extension of
distribution payment periods as described herein, semi-annually in arrears on
June 8/th/ and December 8/th/ of each year, commencing on June 8, 2002 (each, a
"Distribution Payment Date"). The Debenture Issuer has the right under the
Indenture to defer payments of interest on the Debentures by extending the
interest payment period for up to 10 consecutive semi-annual periods (each, an
"Extension Period") at any time and from time to time on the Debentures, subject
to the conditions described below, during which Extension Period no interest
shall be due and payable (except any Additional Interest that may be due and
payable) although such interest would continue to accrue on the Debentures, and
interest will accrue on such Deferred Interest at an annual rate equal to the
Coupon Rate in effect for each such Extension Period, compounded semi-annually
to the extent permitted by law. No Extension Period may end on a date other than
a Distribution Payment Date. At the end of any such Extension Period the
Debenture Issuer shall pay all Deferred Interest; provided, however, that no
                                                  --------  -------
Extension Period may extend beyond the Maturity Date and provided, further,
                                                         --------  -------
that, during any such Extension Period, the Debenture Issuer may not (i) declare
or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire, or make
a liquidation payment with respect to, any of the Debenture Issuer's capital
stock or (ii) make any payment of principal of or interest or premium, if any,
on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities of the Debenture Issuer
that rank pari passu in all respects with or junior in interest to the
Debentures (other than (a) repurchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of
shares of capital stock of the Debenture Issuer (A) in connection with any
employment contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the
benefit of one or more employees, officers, directors or consultants, (B) in
connection with a dividend reinvestment or stockholder stock purchase plan or
(C) in connection with the issuance of capital stock of the Debenture Issuer (or
securities convertible into or exercisable for such capital stock), as
consideration in an acquisition transaction entered into prior to the applicable
Extension Period, (b) as a result of any exchange or conversion of any class or
series of the Debenture Issuer's capital stock (or any capital stock of a
subsidiary of the Debenture Issuer) for any class or series of the Debenture
Issuer's capital stock or of any class or series of the Debenture Issuer's
indebtedness for any

                                     A-I-3

<PAGE>

class or series of the Debenture Issuer's capital stock, (c) the purchase of
fractional interests in shares of the Debenture Issuer's capital stock pursuant
to the conversion or exchange provisions of such capital stock or the security
being converted or exchanged, (d) any declaration of a dividend in connection
with any stockholder's rights plan, or the issuance of rights, stock or other
property under any stockholder's rights plan, or the redemption or repurchase of
rights pursuant thereto, or (e) any dividend in the form of stock, warrants,
options or other rights where the dividend stock or the stock issuable upon
exercise of such warrants, options or other rights is the same stock as that on
which the dividend is being paid or ranks pari passu with or junior to such
stock). Prior to the termination of any Extension Period, the Debenture Issuer
may further extend such period, provided, that such period together with all
                                --------
such previous and further consecutive extensions thereof shall not exceed 10
consecutive semi-annual periods, or extend beyond the Maturity Date. Upon the
termination of any Extension Period and upon the payment of all Deferred
Interest, the Debenture Issuer may commence a new Extension Period, subject to
the foregoing requirements. No interest or Deferred Interest shall be due and
payable during an Extension Period, except at the end thereof, but each
installment of interest that would otherwise have been due and payable during
such Extension Period shall bear Deferred Interest. If Distributions are
deferred, the Distributions due shall be paid on the date that the related
Extension Period terminates, or, if such date is not a Distribution Payment
Date, on the immediately following Distribution Payment Date, to Holders of the
Securities as they appear on the books and records of the Trust on the record
date immediately preceding such date. Distributions on the Securities must be
paid on the dates payable (after giving effect to any Extension Period) to the
extent that the Trust has funds available for the payment of such distributions
in the Property Account of the Trust. The Trust's funds available for
Distribution to the Holders of the Securities will be limited to payments
received from the Debenture Issuer. The payment of Distributions out of moneys
held by the Trust is guaranteed by the Guarantor pursuant to the Guarantee.

          (f) Distributions on the Securities will be payable to the Holders
thereof as they appear on the books and records of the Registrar on the relevant
record dates. The relevant record dates shall be selected by the Administrators,
which dates shall be 15 days before the relevant payment dates. Distributions
payable on any Securities that are not punctually paid on any Distribution
Payment Date, as a result of the Debenture Issuer having failed to make a
payment under the Debentures, as the case may be, when due (taking into account
any Extension Period), will cease to be payable to the Person in whose name such
Securities are registered on the relevant record date, and such defaulted
Distribution will instead be payable to the Person in whose name such Securities
are registered on the special record date or other specified date determined in
accordance with the Indenture. 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 payment date.

          (g) 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.

          3. Liquidation Distribution Upon Dissolution. In the event of the
             -----------------------------------------
voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, winding-up or termination of
the Trust (each, a "Liquidation") other than in connection with a redemption of
the Debentures, the Holders of the Securities will be entitled to receive out of
the assets of the Trust available for distribution to Holders of the Securities,
after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Trust (to the extent not
satisfied by the Debenture Issuer), distributions equal to the aggregate of the
stated liquidation amount of $1,000 per Security plus accrued and unpaid
Distributions thereon to the date of payment (such amount being the "Liquidation
Distribution"), unless in connection with such Liquidation, the Debentures in an
aggregate stated principal amount equal to the aggregate stated liquidation
amount of such Securities, with an interest rate equal to the Coupon Rate of,
and bearing accrued and unpaid interest in an amount equal to the accrued and
unpaid Distributions on, and having the same record date as, such Securities,
after paying or making reasonable provision to pay all claims and obligations of
the Trust in accordance with Section 3808(e) of the Business Trust Act, shall be
distributed on a Pro Rata basis to the Holders of the Securities in exchange for
such Securities.

          The Sponsor, as the Holder of all of the Common Securities, has the
right at any time to dissolve the Trust (including without limitation upon the
occurrence of a Tax Event, an Investment Company Event or a Capital Treatment
Event), subject to the receipt by the Debenture Issuer of prior approval from
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve"), if
then required under applicable capital guidelines or policies of the Federal
Reserve and, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Trust, cause
the Debentures to be distributed to the Holders of the Securities on a Pro Rata
basis in accordance with the aggregate stated liquidation amount thereof.

          The Trust shall dissolve on the first to occur of (i) December 8,
2036, the expiration of the term of the Trust, (ii) a Bankruptcy Event with
respect to the Sponsor, Trust or the Debenture Issuer, (iii) (other than in
connection with a merger, consolidation or similar transaction not prohibited by
the Indenture, this Declaration or the Guarantee, as the case may be) the filing
of a certificate of dissolution of the Sponsor or upon the revocation of the
charter of the Sponsor and the expiration of 90 days after the date of
revocation without a reinstatement thereof, (iv) the distribution to the Holders
of the Securities of the Debentures, upon exercise of the right of the Holder of
all of the outstanding Common Securities to dissolve the Trust as described
above, (v) the entry of a decree of a judicial dissolution of the Sponsor or the
Trust, or (vi) when all of the Securities shall have been called for redemption
and the amounts necessary for redemption thereof shall have been paid to the
Holders in accordance with the terms of the Securities. As soon as practicable
after the dissolution of the Trust and upon completion of the winding up of the
Trust, the Trust shall terminate upon the filing of a certificate of
cancellation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

          If a Liquidation of the Trust occurs as described in clause (i), (ii),
(iii) or (v) in the immediately preceding paragraph, the Trust shall be
liquidated by the Institutional Trustee of the Trust as expeditiously as such
Trustee determines to be possible by distributing, after satisfaction of
liabilities to creditors of the Trust as provided by applicable law, to the
Holders of the Securities, the Debentures on a Pro Rata basis to the extent not
satisfied by the Debenture Issuer, unless such distribution is determined by the
Institutional Trustee not to be practical, in which

                                     A-I-5

<PAGE>

event such Holders will be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Trust
available for distribution to the Holders, after satisfaction of liabilities to
creditors of the Trust to the extent not satisfied by the Debenture Issuer, an
amount equal to the Liquidation Distribution. An early Liquidation of the Trust
pursuant to clause (iv) of the immediately preceding paragraph shall occur if
the Institutional Trustee determines that such Liquidation is possible by
distributing, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of Trust, to the
Holders of the Securities on a Pro Rata basis, the Debentures, and such
distribution occurs.

          If, upon any such Liquidation 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 such Capital Securities shall be paid to the Holders of the Securities
on a pro rata basis, except that if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Capital Securities shall have a preference over the Common
Securities with regard to such distributions.

          Upon any such Liquidation of the Trust involving a distribution of the
Debentures, if at the time of such Liquidation, the Capital Securities were
rated by at least one nationally-recognized statistical rating organization, the
Debenture Issuer will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain from at least
one such or other rating organization a rating for the Debentures.

          After the date for any distribution of the Debentures upon dissolution
of the Trust, (i) the Securities of the Trust will be deemed to be no longer
outstanding, (ii) any certificates representing the Capital Securities will be
deemed to represent undivided beneficial interests in such of the Debentures as
have an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate stated liquidation
amount of, with an interest rate identical to the distribution rate of, and
bearing accrued and unpaid interest equal to accrued and unpaid distributions
on, the Securities until such certificates are presented to the Debenture Issuer
or its agent for transfer or reissuance (and until such certificates are so
surrendered, no payments of interest or principal shall be made to Holders of
Securities in respect of any payments due and payable under the Debentures) and
(iii) all rights of Holders of Securities under the Capital Securities or the
Common Securities, as applicable, shall cease, except the right of such Holders
to receive Debentures upon surrender of certificates representing such
Securities.

          4. Redemption and Distribution.
             ---------------------------

          (a) The Debentures will mature on December 8, 2031. The Debentures may
be redeemed by the Debenture Issuer, in whole or in part, on any June 8/th/ or
December 8/th/ on or after December 8, 2006, at the Redemption Price, upon not
less than 30 days nor more than 60 day's notice to Holders of such Debentures.
In addition, upon the occurrence and continuation of a Tax Event, an Investment
Company Event or a Capital Treatment Event, the Debentures may be redeemed by
the Debenture Issuer in whole but not in part, at any time within 90 days
following the occurrence of such Tax Event, Investment Company Event or Capital
Treatment Event, as the case may be (the "Special Redemption Date"), at the
Special Redemption Price, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice to
Holders of the Debentures so long as such Tax Event, Investment Company Event or
Capital Treatment Event, as the case may be, is

                                     A-I-6

<PAGE>

continuing. In each case, the right of the Debenture Issuer to redeem the
Debentures is subject to the Debenture Issuer having received prior approval
from the Federal Reserve, if then required under applicable capital guidelines
or policies of the Federal Reserve.

          "Tax Event" means the receipt by the Debenture Issuer and the Trust of
an opinion of counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that, as a
result of any amendment to or change (including any announced prospective
change) in the laws or any regulations thereunder of the United States or any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, or as a result of
any official administrative pronouncement (including any private letter ruling,
technical advice memorandum, regulatory procedure, notice or announcement (an
"Administrative Action")) or judicial decision interpreting or applying such
laws or regulations, regardless of whether such Administrative Action or
judicial decision is issued to or in connection with a proceeding involving the
Debenture Issuer or the Trust and whether or not subject to review or appeal,
which amendment, clarification, change, Administrative Action or decision is
enacted, promulgated or announced, in each case on or after the date of original
issuance of the Debentures, there is more than an insubstantial risk that: (i)
the Trust is, or will be within 90 days of the date of such opinion, subject to
United States federal income tax with respect to income received or accrued on
the Debentures; (ii) interest payable by the Debenture Issuer on the Debentures
is not, or within 90 days of the date of such opinion, will not be, deductible
by the Debenture Issuer, in whole or in part, for United States federal income
tax purposes; or (iii) the Trust is, or will be within 90 days of the date of
such opinion, subject to more than a de minimis amount of other taxes, duties or
other governmental charges.

          "Investment Company Event" means the receipt by the Company and the
Trust of an opinion of counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that,
as a result of a change in law or regulation or written change in interpretation
or application of law or regulation by any legislative body, court, governmental
agency or regulatory authority, there is more than an insubstantial risk that
the Trust is or, within 90 days of the date of such opinion will be, considered
an "investment company" that is required to be registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, which change or prospective change becomes
effective or would become effective, as the case may be, on or after the date of
the original issuance of the Debentures.

          "Capital Treatment Event" means the receipt by the Debenture Issuer
and the Trust of an opinion of counsel experienced in such matters to the effect
that, as a result of any amendment to, or change in, the laws, rules or
regulations of the United States or any political subdivision thereof or
therein, or as the result of any official or administrative pronouncement or
action or decision interpreting or applying such laws, rules or regulations,
which amendment or change is effective or which pronouncement, action or
decision is announced on or after the date of original issuance of the
Debentures, there is more than an insubstantial risk that the Debenture Issuer
will not, within 90 days of the date of such opinion, be entitled to treat an
amount equal to the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Capital Securities as
"Tier 1 Capital" (or the then equivalent thereof) for purposes of the capital
adequacy guidelines of the Federal Reserve (or any successor regulatory
authority with jurisdiction over bank holding companies), as then in effect and
applicable to the Debenture Issuer; provided, however, that the distribution of
                                    --------  -------
the Debentures in connection with the Liquidation of the Trust by the Debenture
Issuer shall not in

                                     A-I-7

<PAGE>

and of itself constitute a Capital Treatment Event unless such Liquidation shall
have occurred in connection with a Tax Event or an Investment Company Event.

          "Special Event" means any of a Capital Treatment Event, a Tax Event or
an Investment Company Event.

          "Redemption Price" means 100% of the principal amount of the
Debentures being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Debentures to
the Redemption Date or, in the case of a redemption due to the occurrence of a
Special Event, to the Special Redemption Date if such Special Redemption Date is
on or after December 8, 2006.

          "Special Redemption Price" means (1) if the Special Redemption Date is
before December 8, 2006, the greater of (a) 100% of the principal amount of the
Debentures being redeemed pursuant to Section 10.02 of the Indenture or (b) as
determined by a Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the principal
amount payable as part of the Redemption Price with respect to a redemption as
of December 8, 2006 together with the present value of interest payments
calculated at a fixed per annum rate of interest equal to 9.95% over the
Remaining Life of such Debentures, discounted to the Special Redemption Date on
a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months)
at the Treasury Rate plus 0.50%, plus, in the case of either (a) or (b), accrued
and unpaid interest on such Debentures to the Special Redemption Date and (2) if
the Special Redemption Date is on or after December 8, 2006, the Redemption
Price for such Special Redemption Date.

          "Comparable Treasury Issue" means, with respect to any Special
Redemption Date, the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation
Agent as having a maturity comparable to the Remaining Life that would be
utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial
practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable
maturity to the Remaining Life. If no United States Treasury security has a
maturity which is within a period from three months before to three months after
December 8, 2006, the two most closely corresponding United States Treasury
securities shall be used as the Comparable Treasury Issue, and the Treasury Rate
shall be interpolated or extrapolated on a straight-line basis, rounding to the
nearest month using such securities.

          "Comparable Treasury Price" means (a) the average of five Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Special Redemption Date, after excluding the
highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (b) if the
Quotation Agent obtains fewer than five such Reference Treasury Dealer
Quotations, the average of all such Quotations.

          "Primary Treasury Dealer" shall mean a primary United States
Government securities dealer in New York City.

          "Quotation Agent" means Salomon Smith Barney Inc. and its successors;
provided, however, that if the foregoing shall cease to be a Primary Treasury
Dealer, the Debenture Issuer shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury
Dealer.

                                     A-I-8

<PAGE>

          "Redemption Date" shall mean the date fixed for the redemption of
Capital Securities, which shall be any June 8/th/ or December 8/th/ on or after
December 8, 2006.

          "Reference Treasury Dealer" means (i) the Quotation Agent and (ii) any
other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Debenture Trustee after
consultation with the Debenture Issuer.

          "Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations" means, with respect to each
Reference Treasury Dealer and any Special Redemption Date, the average, as
determined by the Quotation Agent, of the bid and asked prices for the
Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its
principal amount) quoted in writing to the Debenture Trustee by such Reference
Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day
preceding such Special Redemption Date.

          "Remaining Life" means, with respect to any Debentures the period from
the Special Redemption Date for such Debentures to December 8, 2006.

          "Treasury Rate" means (i) the yield, under the heading which
represents the average for the week immediately prior to the date of
calculation, appearing in the most recently published statistical release
designated H.15 (519) or any successor publication which is published weekly by
the Federal Reserve and which establishes yields on actively traded United
States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption
"Treasury Constant Maturities", for the maturity corresponding to the Remaining
Life (if no maturity is within three months before or after the Remaining Life,
yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the
Remaining Life shall be determined and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated
or extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis, rounding to the
nearest month) or (ii) if such release (or any successor release) is not
published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain
such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to
maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the
Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount)
equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Special Redemption Date. The
Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the
Special Redemption Date.

          (b) Upon the repayment in full at maturity or redemption in whole or
in part of the Debentures (other than following the distribution of the
Debentures to the Holders of the Securities), the proceeds from such repayment
or payment shall concurrently be applied to redeem Pro Rata at the applicable
Redemption Price, Securities having an aggregate liquidation amount equal to the
aggregate principal amount of the Debentures so repaid or redeemed; provided,
however, that holders of such Securities shall be given not less than 30 nor
more than 60 days' notice of such redemption (other than at the scheduled
maturity of the Debentures).

          (c) If fewer than all the outstanding Securities are to be so
redeemed, the Common Securities and the Capital Securities will be redeemed Pro
Rata and the Capital Securities to be redeemed will be as described in Section
4(e)(ii) below.

                                     A-I-9

<PAGE>

          (d) The Trust may not redeem fewer than all the outstanding Capital
Securities unless all accrued and unpaid Distributions have been paid on all
Capital Securities for all semi-annual Distribution periods terminating on or
before the date of redemption.

          (e) Redemption or Distribution Procedures.

               (i) Notice of any redemption of, or notice of distribution of the
     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 Section 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
     such Securities. Each Redemption/Distribution Notice shall be addressed to
     the Holders of such Securities at the address of each such Holder appearing
     on the books and records of the Registrar. No defect in the
     Redemption/Distribution Notice or in the mailing thereof with respect to
     any Holder shall affect the validity of the redemption or exchange
     proceedings with respect to any other Holder.

               (ii) In the event that fewer than all the outstanding Securities
     are to be redeemed, the Securities to be redeemed shall be redeemed Pro
     Rata from each Holder of Capital Securities.

               (iii) If the 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 Section 4 (which notice will be
     irrevocable), then, provided, that the Institutional Trustee has a
                         --------
     sufficient amount of cash in connection with the related redemption or
     maturity of the Debentures, the Institutional Trustee will pay the relevant
     Redemption Price to the Holders of such Securities by check mailed to the
     address of each such Holder appearing on the books and records of the Trust
     on the redemption date. If a Redemption/Distribution Notice shall have been
     given and funds deposited as required then immediately prior to the close
     of business on the date of such deposit Distributions will cease to accrue
     on the Securities so called for redemption and 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 applicable Redemption Price
     specified in Section 4(a), but without interest on such Redemption Price.
     If any date fixed for redemption of Securities is not a Business Day, then
     payment of any such Redemption Price payable on such date will be made on
     the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or
     other payment in respect of any such delay) except that, if such Business
     Day falls in the next calendar year, such payment will be made on the
     immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and
     effect as if made on such date fixed for redemption. If payment of the
     Redemption Price in respect of any Securities is improperly withheld or
     refused and not paid either by the Trust or by the Debenture Issuer as
     guarantor pursuant to the Guarantee, Distributions on

                                     A-I-10

<PAGE>

     such Securities will continue to accrue at the then applicable rate from
     the original redemption date to the actual date of payment, in which case
     the actual payment date will be considered the date fixed for redemption
     for purposes of calculating the Redemption Price. In the event of any
     redemption of the Capital Securities issued by the Trust in part, the Trust
     shall not be required to (i) issue, register the transfer of or exchange
     any Security during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days
     before any selection for redemption of the Capital Securities and ending at
     the close of business on the earliest date on which the relevant notice of
     redemption is deemed to have been given to all Holders of the Capital
     Securities to be so redeemed or (ii) register the transfer of or exchange
     any Capital Securities so selected for redemption, in whole or in part,
     except for the unredeemed portion of any Capital Securities being redeemed
     in part.

               (iv) Redemption/Distribution Notices shall be sent by the
     Administrators on behalf of the Trust (A) in respect of the Capital
     Securities, to the Holders thereof, and (B) in respect of the Common
     Securities, to the Holder thereof.

               (v) Subject to the foregoing and applicable law (including,
     without limitation, United States federal securities laws), and provided,
                                                                     --------
     that the acquiror is not the Holder of the Common Securities or the obligor
     under the Indenture, the Sponsor or any of its subsidiaries may at any time
     and from time to time purchase outstanding Capital Securities by tender, in
     the open market or by private agreement.

          5. Voting Rights - Capital Securities. (a) Except as provided under
             ----------------------------------
Sections 5(b) and 7 and as otherwise required by law and the Declaration, the
Holders of the Capital Securities will have no voting rights. The Administrators
are required to call a meeting of the Holders of the Capital Securities if
directed to do so by Holders of not less than 10% in liquidation amount of the
Capital Securities.

          (b) Subject to the requirements of obtaining a tax opinion by the
Institutional Trustee in certain circumstances set forth in the last sentence of
this paragraph, the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Capital
Securities, voting separately as a class, have the right to direct the time,
method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Institutional Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the
Institutional Trustee under the Declaration, including the right to direct the
Institutional Trustee, as holder of the Debentures, to (i) exercise the remedies
available under the Indenture as the holder of the Debentures, (ii) waive any
past default that is waivable under the Indenture, or (iii) exercise any right
to rescind or annul a declaration that the principal of all the Debentures shall
be due and payable or (iv) consent on behalf of all the Holders of the Capital
Securities to any amendment, modification or termination of the Indenture or the
Debentures where such consent shall be required; provided, however, that, where
                                                 --------  -------
a consent or action under the Indenture would require the consent or act of the
holders of greater than a simple majority in principal amount of Debentures (a
"Super Majority") affected thereby, the Institutional Trustee may only give such
consent or take such action at the written direction of the Holders of not less
than the proportion in liquidation amount of the Capital Securities outstanding
which the relevant Super Majority represents of the aggregate principal amount
of the Debentures outstanding. If the Institutional Trustee fails to enforce its
rights under the Debentures after the Holders of a Majority in

                                     A-I-11

<PAGE>

liquidation amount of such Capital Securities have so directed the Institutional
Trustee, to the fullest extent permitted by law, a Holder of the Capital
Securities may institute a legal proceeding directly against the Debenture
Issuer to enforce the Institutional Trustee's rights under the Debentures
without first instituting any legal proceeding against the Institutional Trustee
or any other person or entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing and such event is attributable to the
failure of the Debenture Issuer to pay interest or principal on the Debentures
on the date the interest or principal is payable (or in the case of redemption,
the redemption date), then a Holder of record of the Capital Securities may
directly institute a proceeding for enforcement of payment, on or after the
respective due dates specified in the Debentures, to such Holder directly of the
principal of or interest on the Debentures having an aggregate principal amount
equal to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Capital Securities of such
Holder. The Institutional Trustee shall notify all Holders of the Capital
Securities of any default actually known to the Institutional Trustee with
respect to the Debentures unless (x) such default has been cured prior to the
giving of such notice or (y) the Institutional Trustee determines in good faith
that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders of such
Capital Securities, except where the default relates to the payment of principal
of or interest on any of the Debentures. Such notice shall state that such
Indenture Event of Default also constitutes an Event of Default hereunder.
Except with respect to directing the time, method and place of conducting a
proceeding for a remedy, the Institutional Trustee shall not take any of the
actions described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above unless the Institutional
Trustee has obtained an opinion of tax counsel to the effect that, as a result
of such action, the Trust will not be classified as other than a grantor trust
for United States federal income tax purposes.

          In the event the consent of the Institutional Trustee, as the holder
of the Debentures is required under the Indenture with respect to any amendment,
modification or termination of the Indenture, the Institutional Trustee shall
request the written 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 Securities voting together as a single class; provided, however,
                                                            --------  -------
that where a consent under the Indenture would require the consent of a Super
Majority, the Institutional Trustee may only give such consent at the written
direction of the Holders of not less than the proportion in liquidation amount
of such Securities outstanding which the relevant Super Majority represents of
the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures outstanding. The Institutional
Trustee shall not take any such action in accordance with the written directions
of the Holders of the Securities unless the Institutional Trustee has obtained
an opinion of tax counsel to the effect that, as a result of such action, the
Trust will not be classified as other than a grantor trust for United States
federal income tax purposes.

          A waiver of an Indenture Event of Default will constitute a waiver of
the corresponding Event of Default hereunder. Any required approval or direction
of Holders of the Capital Securities may be given at a separate meeting of
Holders of the Capital Securities convened for such purpose, at a meeting of all
of the Holders of the Securities in the Trust or pursuant to written consent.
The Institutional Trustee will cause a notice of any meeting at which Holders of
the Capital 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 Holderof
record of the

                                     A-I-12

<PAGE>

Capital 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
Capital Securities will be required for the Trust to redeem and cancel Capital
Securities or to distribute the Debentures in accordance with the Declaration
and the terms of the Securities.

          Notwithstanding that Holders of the Capital Securities are entitled to
vote or consent under any of the circumstances described above, any of the
Capital Securities that are owned by the Sponsor or any Affiliate of the Sponsor
shall not entitle the Holder thereof to vote or consent and shall, for purposes
of such vote or consent, be treated as if such Capital Securities were not
outstanding.

          In no event will Holders of the Capital Securities have the right to
vote to appoint, remove or replace the Administrators, which voting rights are
vested exclusively in the Sponsor as the Holder of all of the Common Securities
of the Trust. Under certain circumstances as more fully described in the
Declaration, Holders of Capital Securities have the right to vote to appoint,
remove or replace the Institutional Trustee and the Delaware Trustee.

          6. Voting Rights - Common Securities. (a) Except as provided under
             ---------------------------------
Sections 6(b), 6(c) and 7 and as otherwise required by law and the Declaration,
the Common Securities will have no voting rights.

          (b) The Holders of the Common Securities are entitled, in accordance
with Article IV of the Declaration, to vote to appoint, remove or replace any
Administrators.

          (c) Subject to Section 6.7 of the Declaration and only after each
Event of Default (if any) with respect to the Capital 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 a 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
Institutional Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the
Institutional 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) waive any past default and its
consequences that are waivable under the Indenture or (iii) exercise any right
to rescind or annul a declaration that the principal of all the Debentures shall
be due and payable, provided, however, that, where a consent or action under the
                              -------
Indenture would require a Super Majority, the Institutional Trustee may only
give such consent or take such action at the written direction of the Holders of
not less than the proportion in liquidation amount of the Common Securities
which the relevant Super Majority represents of the aggregate principal amount
of the Debentures outstanding. Notwithstanding this Section 6(c), the
Institutional Trustee shall not revoke any action previously authorized or
approved by a vote or consent of the Holders of the Capital Securities. Other
than with respect to directing the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Institutional Trustee or the
Debenture Trustee as

                                     A-I-13

<PAGE>

set forth above, the Institutional Trustee shall not take any action described
in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, unless the Institutional 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. If the Institutional Trustee fails to
enforce its rights under the Declaration, to the fullest extent permitted by law
any Holder of the Common Securities may institute a legal proceeding directly
against any Person to enforce the Institutional Trustee's rights under the
Declaration, without first instituting a legal proceeding against the
Institutional Trustee or any other Person.

          Any approval or direction of Holders of the Common Securities may be
given at a separate meeting of Holders of the Common Securities convened for
such purpose, at a meeting of all of the Holders of the Securities in the Trust
or pursuant to written consent. The Administrators will cause a notice of any
meeting at which Holders of the Common Securities are entitled to vote, or of
any matter upon which action by written consent of such Holders is to be taken,
to be mailed to each Holder of the Common Securities. Each such notice will
include a statement setting forth (i) the date of such meeting or the date by
which such action is to be taken, (ii) a description of any resolution proposed
for adoption at such meeting on which such Holders are entitled to vote or of
such matter upon which written consent is sought and (iii) instructions for the
delivery of proxies or consents.

          No vote or consent of the Holders of the Common Securities will be
required for the Trust to redeem and cancel Common Securities or to distribute
the Debentures in accordance with the Declaration and the terms of the
Securities.

          7. Amendments to Declaration and Indenture. (a) In addition to any
             ---------------------------------------
requirements under Section 11.1 of the Declaration, if any proposed amendment to
the Declaration provides for, or the 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 Liquidation of the Trust, other than as described in Section 7.1 of
the Declaration, then the Holders of outstanding Securities, voting together as
a single 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 the
Holders of not less than a Majority in liquidation amount of the Securities
affected thereby; provided, however, if any amendment or proposal referred to in
                  --------  -------
clause (i) above would adversely affect only the Capital 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 a Majority in liquidation amount of such class of
Securities.

          (b) In the event the consent of the Institutional 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
Institutional Trustee shall request the written 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 Securities voting together as a single
class; provided, however, that where a consent under the Indenture would require
       --------  -------
a Super Majority, the Institutional Trustee may only give such consent at the
written direction of the Holders of not

                                     A-I-14

<PAGE>

less than the proportion in liquidation amount of the Securities which the
relevant Super Majority represents of the aggregate principal amount of the
Debentures outstanding.

          (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment or modification may be
made to the Declaration if such amendment or modification would (i) cause the
Trust to be classified for purposes of United States federal income taxation as
other than a grantor trust, (ii) reduce or otherwise adversely affect the powers
of the Institutional Trustee or (iii) cause the Trust to be deemed an
"investment company" which is required to be registered under the Investment
Company Act.

          (d) Notwithstanding any provision of the Declaration, the right of any
Holder of the Capital Securities to receive payment of distributions and other
payments upon redemption or otherwise, on or after their respective due dates,
or to institute a suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such
respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such
Holder. For the protection and enforcement of the foregoing provision, each and
every Holder of the Capital Securities shall be entitled to such relief as can
be given either at law or equity.

          8. 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 the Securities according to the aggregate liquidation amount of
the Securities held by the relevant Holder in relation to the aggregate
liquidation amount of all Securities outstanding unless, in relation to a
payment, an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case any
funds available to make such payment shall be paid first to each Holder of the
Capital Securities Pro Rata according to the aggregate liquidation amount of the
Capital Securities held by the relevant Holder relative to the aggregate
liquidation amount of all Capital Securities outstanding, and only after
satisfaction of all amounts owed to the Holders of the Capital Securities, to
each Holder of the Common Securities Pro Rata according to the aggregate
liquidation amount of the Common Securities held by the relevant Holder relative
to the aggregate liquidation amount of all Common Securities outstanding.

          9. Ranking. The Capital Securities rank pari passu with and payment
             -------
thereon shall be made Pro Rata with the Common Securities except that, where an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the rights of Holders of the
Common Securities to receive payment of Distributions and payments upon
liquidation, redemption and otherwise are subordinated to the rights of the
Holders of the Capital Securities with the result that no payment of any
Distribution on, or Redemption Price of, any Common Security, and no other
payment on account of 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 Capital Securities for all distribution
periods terminating on or prior thereto, or in the case of payment of the
Redemption Price the full amount of such Redemption Price on all outstanding
Capital Securities then called for redemption, shall have been made or provided
for, and all funds immediately available to the Institutional Trustee shall
first be applied to the payment in full in cash of all Distributions on, or the
Redemption Price of, the Capital Securities then due and payable.

              -------------------------------------
Securities and the Common Securities, by the acceptance of such Securities,
agrees to the provisions of the Guarantee, including the subordination
provisions therein and to the provisions of the Indenture.

          11. No Preemptive Rights. The Holders of the Securities shall have no,
              --------------------
and the issuance of the Securities is not subject to, preemptive or similar
rights to subscribe for any additional securities.

          12. Miscellaneous. These terms constitute a part of the Declaration.

The Sponsor will provide a copy of the Declaration, the Guarantee, and the
Indenture to a Holder without charge on written request to the Sponsor at its
principal place of business.

                          [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]

          Distributions payable on each Capital Security will be payable at a
variable per annum rate of interest, reset semi-annually, equal to LIBOR (as
defined in the Declaration) plus 3.75% (the "Coupon Rate") (provided, that the
applicable Coupon Rate may not exceed 11.0% through the Interest Payment Date in
December, 2006) of the stated liquidation amount of $1,000 per Capital Security,
such rate being the rate of interest payable on the Debentures to be held by the
Institutional Trustee. Except as set forth below in respect of an Extension
Period, Distributions in arrears for more than one semi-annual period will bear
interest thereon compounded semi-annually at the applicable Coupon Rate for each
such semi-annual period (to the extent permitted by applicable law). The term
"Distributions" as used herein includes cash distributions, any such compounded
distributions and any Additional Interest payable on the Debentures unless
otherwise stated. A Distribution is payable only to the extent that payments are
made in respect of the Debentures held by the Institutional Trustee and to the
extent the Institutional Trustee has funds available in the Property Account
therefor. The amount of Distributions payable for any period will be computed
for any full semi-annual Distribution period on the basis of a 360-day year and
the actual number of days elapsed in the relevant Distribution period.

          Except as otherwise described below, Distributions on the Capital
Securities will be cumulative, will accrue from the date of original issuance
and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on June 8th and December 8th of
each year, commencing on June 8, 2002 (each, a "Distribution Payment Date"). The
Debenture Issuer has the right under the Indenture to defer payments of interest
on the Debentures by extending the interest payment period for up to 10
consecutive semi-annual periods (each, an "Extension Period") at any time and
from time to time on the Debentures, subject to the conditions described below,
during which Extension Period no interest shall be due and payable (except any
Additional Interest that may be due and payable). During any Extension Period,
interest will continue to accrue on the Debentures, and interest on such accrued
interest (such accrued interest and interest thereon referred to herein as
"Deferred Interest") will accrue at an annual rate equal to the Coupon Rate in
effect for each such Extension Period, compounded semi-annually from the date
such Deferred Interest would have been payable were it not for the Extension
Period, to the extent permitted by law. No Extension Period may end on a date
other than a Distribution Payment Date. At the end of any such Extension Period,
the Debenture Issuer shall pay all Deferred Interest then accrued and unpaid on
the Debentures; provided, however, that no Extension Period may extend beyond
                --------  -------
the Maturity Date. Prior to the termination of any Extension Period, the
Debenture Issuer may further extend such period, provided, that such period
                                                 --------
together with all such previous and further consecutive extensions thereof shall
not exceed 10 consecutive semi-annual periods, or extend beyond the Maturity
Date. Upon the termination of any Extension Period and upon the payment of all
Deferred Interest, the Debenture Issuer may commence a new Extension Period,
subject to the foregoing requirements. No interest or Deferred Interest shall be
due and payable during an Extension Period, except at the end thereof, but each
installment of interest that would otherwise have been due and payable during
such Extension Period shall bear Deferred Interest. If Distributions are
deferred, the Distributions due shall be paid on the date that the related
Extension Period terminates, or, if such date is not a Distribution Payment
Date, on the immediately following Distribution Payment Date, to Holders of the
Securities as they appear on the books and records of the Trust on the record
date immediately preceding such date.

Distributions on the Securities must be paid on the dates payable (after giving
effect to any Extension Period) to the extent that the Trust has funds available
for the payment of such distributions in the Property Account of the Trust. The
Trust's funds available for Distribution to the Holders of the Securities will
be limited to payments received from the Debenture Issuer. The payment of
Distributions out of moneys held by the Trust is guaranteed by the Guarantor
pursuant to the Guarantee.

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

          Resource Capital Trust II, a statutory business trust created under
the laws of the State of Delaware (the "Trust"), hereby certifies that

 ---------------                                             ---------------
common securities of the Trust representing undivided beneficial interests in
the assets of the Trust (the "Common Securities"). The Common Securities
represented hereby are issued pursuant to, and the designation, rights,
privileges, restrictions, preferences and other terms and provisions of the
Common Securities shall in all respects be subject to, the provisions of the

Administrators, Wilmington Trust Company, as Delaware Trustee, Wilmington Trust
Company, as Institutional Trustee, the Holder, as Sponsor, and the holders from

meaning given them in the Declaration. The Sponsor will provide a copy of the
Declaration and the Indenture to the Holder without charge upon written request
to the Sponsor at its principal place of business.

are subordinated to the rights of payment of Holders of the Capital Securities.

          Upon receipt of this Certificate, the Holder is bound by the

accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to principles
of conflict of laws.

                                               Name:

<PAGE>

                          [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]

          Distributions payable on each Common Security will be identical in
amount to the Distributions payable on each Capital Security, which is at a
variable per annum rate of interest, reset semi-annually, equal to LIBOR (as
defined in the Indenture) plus 3.75% (the "Coupon Rate") (provided, that the
applicable Coupon Rate may not exceed 11.0% through the Interest Payment Date in
December, 2006) of the stated liquidation amount of $1,000 per Capital Security,
such rate being the rate of interest payable on the Debentures to be held by the
Institutional Trustee. Except as set forth below in respect of an Extension
Period, Distributions in arrears for more than one semi-annual period will bear
interest thereon compounded semi-annually at the applicable Coupon Rate for each
such semi-annual period (to the extent permitted by applicable law). The term
"Distributions" as used herein includes cash distributions, any such compounded
distributions and any Additional Interest payable on the Debentures unless
otherwise stated. A Distribution is payable only to the extent that payments are
made in respect of the Debentures held by the Institutional Trustee and to the
extent the Institutional Trustee has funds available in the Property Account
therefor. The amount of Distributions payable for any period will be computed
for any full semi-annual Distribution period on the basis of a 360-day year and
the actual number of days elapsed in the relevant Distribution period.

          Except as otherwise described below, Distributions on the Common
Securities will be cumulative, will accrue from the date of original issuance
and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on June 8/th/ and December 8/th/ of
each year, commencing on June 8, 2002 (each, a "Distribution Payment Date"). The
Debenture Issuer has the right under the Indenture to defer payments of interest
on the Debentures by extending the interest payment period for up to 10
consecutive semi-annual periods (each, an "Extension Period") at any time and
from time to time on the Debentures, subject to the conditions described below,
during which Extension Period no interest shall be due and payable (except any
Additional Interest that may be due and payable). During any Extension Period,
interest would continue to accrue on the Debentures, and interest on such
accrued interest (such accrued interest and interest thereon referred to herein
as "Deferred Interest") will accrue at an annual rate equal to the Coupon Rate
in effect for each such Extension Period, compounded semi-annually from the date
such Deferred Interest would have been payable were it not for the Extension
Period, to the extent permitted by law. No Extension Period may end on a date
other than a Distribution Payment Date. At the end of any such Extension Period
the Debenture Issuer shall pay all Deferred Interest then accrued and unpaid on
the Debentures; provided, however, that no Extension Period may extend beyond
                --------  -------
the Maturity Date. Prior to the termination of any Extension Period, the
Debenture Issuer may further extend such period, provided, that such period
                                                 --------
together with all such previous and further consecutive extensions thereof shall
not exceed 10 consecutive semi-annual periods, or extend beyond the Maturity
Date. Upon the termination of any Extension Period and upon the payment of all
Deferred Interest, the Debenture Issuer may commence a new Extension Period,
subject to the foregoing requirements. No interest or Deferred Interest shall be
due and payable during an Extension Period, except at the end thereof, but each
installment of interest that would otherwise have been due and payable during
such Extension Period shall bear Deferred Interest. If Distributions are
deferred, the Distributions due shall be paid on the date that the related
Extension Period terminates, or, if such date is not a Distribution Payment
Date, on the immediately following Distribution Payment Date, to Holders of the
Securities as they appear on the books and records of the Trust on the record
date immediately preceding such date.

<PAGE>

Distributions on the Securities must be paid on the dates payable (after giving
effect to any Extension Period) to the extent that the Trust has funds available
for the payment of such distributions in the Property Account of the Trust. The
Trust's funds available for Distribution to the Holders of the Securities will
be limited to payments received from the Debenture Issuer. The payment of
Distributions out of moneys held by the Trust is guaranteed by the Guarantor
pursuant to the Guarantee.

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

               MMCapS/SM/ (the "Capital Securities") of Resource Capital Trust
               ---------------------------------------------------------------
               II
               --

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          In connection with our purchase of the Capital Securities we confirm
that:

          13. We understand that the Floating Rate MMCapS/SM/ (the "Capital
Securities") of Resource Capital Trust II (the "Trust") (including the guarantee
(the "Guarantee") of Resource Bankshares Corporation (the "Company") executed in
connection therewith) and the Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Debt Securities
due 2031 of the Company (the "Subordinated Debt Securities") (the Capital
Securities, the Guarantee and the Subordinated Debt Securities together being
referred to herein as "Offered Securities"), have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and may not be
offered or sold except as permitted in the following sentence. We agree on our
own behalf and on behalf of any investor account for which we are purchasing the
Offered Securities that, if, we decide to offer, sell or otherwise transfer any
such Offered Securities, such offer, sale or transfer will be made only (a) to
the Company or the Trust, (b) pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, to
a person we reasonably believe is a qualified institutional buyer under Rule
144A (a "QIB") that purchases for its own account or for the account of a QIB
and to whom notice is given that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule
144A, (c) pursuant to an exemption from registration to an "accredited investor"
within the meaning of subparagraph (a) (1), (2), (3) or (7) of Rule 501 under
the Securities Act that is acquiring Offered Securities for its own account or
for the account of such an accredited investor for investment purposes and not
with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution
thereof in violation of the Securities Act, or (d) pursuant to another available
exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in each
of the foregoing cases in accordance with any applicable state securities laws
and any requirements of law that govern the disposition of our property. The
foregoing restrictions on resale will not apply subsequent to the date on which,
in the written opinion of counsel, the Capital Securities are not "restricted
securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. If any
resale or other transfer of the Offered Securities is proposed to be made
pursuant to clause (c) or (d) above the transferor shall deliver a letter from
the transferee substantially in the form of this letter to the Institutional
Trustee as Transfer Agent, which shall provide as applicable, among other
things, that the transferee is an "accredited investor" within

                                      B-1

<PAGE>

the meaning of subparagraph (a) (1), (2), (3) or (7) of Rule 501 under the
Securities Act that is acquiring such Securities for investment purposes and not
for distribution in violation of the Securities Act. We acknowledge on our
behalf and on behalf of any investor account for which we are purchasing
Securities that the Trust and the Company reserve the right prior to any offer,
sale or other transfer pursuant to clause (c) or (d) to require the delivery of
any opinion of counsel, certifications and/or other information satisfactory to
the Trust and the Company. We understand that the certificates for any Offered
Security that we receive will bear a legend substantially to the effect of the
foregoing.

          14. We are an "accredited investor" within the meaning of subparagraph
(a) (1), (2), (3) or (7) of Rule 501 under the Securities Act purchasing for our
own account or for the account of such an "accredited investor," and we are
acquiring the Offered Securities for investment purposes and not with view to,
or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the
Securities Act, and we have such knowledge and experience in financial and
business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our
investment in the Offered Securities, and we and any account for which we are
acting are each able to bear the economic risks of our or its investment.

          15. We are acquiring the Offered Securities purchased by us for our
own account (or for one or more accounts as to each of which we exercise sole
investment discretion and have authority to make, and do make, the statements
contained in this letter) and not with a view to any distribution of the Offered
Securities, subject, nevertheless, to the understanding that the disposition of
our property will at all times be and remain within our control.

          16. In the event that we purchase any Capital Securities or any
Subordinated Debt Securities, we will acquire such Capital Securities having an
aggregate stated liquidation amount of not less than $100,000 or such
Subordinated Debt Securities having an aggregate principal amount not less than
$100,000, for our own account and for each separate account for which we are
acting.

          17. We acknowledge that we either (A) are not a fiduciary of a
pension, profit-sharing or other employee benefit plan subject to the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA") (a "Plan"), or an
entity whose assets include "plan assets" by reason of any Plan's investment in
the entity and are not purchasing the Offered Securities on behalf of or with
"plan assets" by reason of any Plan's investment in the entity and are not
purchasing the Offered Securities on behalf of or with "plan assets" of any Plan
or (B) are eligible for the exemptive relief available under one or more of the
following prohibited transaction class exemptions ("PTCEs") issued by the U.S.
Department of Labor: PTCE 96-23, 95-60, 91-38, 90-1 or 84-14.

          18. We acknowledge that the Trust and the Company and others will rely
upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing acknowledgments, representations,
warranties and agreements and agree that if any of the acknowledgments,
representations, warranties and agreements deemed to have been made by our
purchase of the Offered Securities are no longer accurate, we shall promptly
notify the Placement Agents. If we are acquiring any Offered Securities as a
fiduciary or agent for one or more investor accounts, we represent that we have

                                      B-2

sole discretion with respect to each such investor account and that we have full
power to make the foregoing acknowledgments, representations and agreement on
behalf of each such investor account.
