Trustee) shall cause the Trust not to, engage in any activity other than as
required or authorized by this Declaration. The Trust shall not:

             (i)    invest any proceeds received by the Trust from holding the

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

             (viii) take any action that would result in the placement of a
pledge or mortgage on any of the Trust property; or

cessation of title shall be effective whether or not conveyancing documents with
regard to the Debentures have been executed and delivered.

     (b)   The Property Trustee shall not transfer its right, title and interest
in the Debentures to the Administrative Trustees or to the Delaware Trustee (if

of payments of funds made in respect of the Debentures held by the Property
Trustee, deposit such funds into the Property Trustee Account and make payments
or cause the Paying Agent to make payments to the Holders from the Property
Trustee Account in accordance with Section 6.1. Funds in the Property Trustee
Account shall be held uninvested until disbursed in accordance with this

with a banking institution the rating on whose long-term unsecured indebtedness
by a "nationally recognized statistical rating organization", as that term is
defined for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Securities Act, is at least
investment grade;

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

           (iii) upon written notice of distribution issued by the
Administrative Trustees in accordance with the terms of the Securities, engage

as may be specifically required of the Property Trustee pursuant to the terms of
the Securities.

Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Property Trustee has
actual knowledge or the Property Trustee's duties and obligations under this
Declaration or the Trust Indenture Act.

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

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

                                      -15-

<PAGE>

          (ii)  a successor Property Trustee has been appointed and has accepted
that appointment in accordance with Section 5.7 (a "Successor Property
Trustee").

     (g)  The Property Trustee shall have the legal power to exercise all of the
rights, powers and privileges of a holder of Debentures under the Indenture and,
if an Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer occurs and is
continuing, the Property Trustee shall, for the benefit of Holders, enforce its
rights as holder of the Debentures subject to the rights of the Holders pursuant
to the terms of such Securities.

     (h)  The Property Trustee shall be authorized to undertake any actions set
forth in (S)317(a) of the Trust Indenture Act.

     (i)  For such time as the Property Trustee is the Paying Agent, the
Property Trustee may authorize one or more Persons to act as additional Paying
Agents and to pay Distributions, redemption payments or liquidation payments on
behalf of the Trust with respect to all Securities and any such Paying Agent
shall comply with (S)317(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. Any such additional
Paying Agent may be removed by the Property Trustee at any time the Property
Trustee remains as Paying Agent and a successor Paying Agent or additional
Paying Agents may be (but are not required to be) appointed at any time by the
Property Trustee while the Property Trustee is so acting as Paying Agent.

     (j)  Subject to this Section 3.8, the Property Trustee shall have none of
the duties, liabilities, powers or the authority of the Administrative Trustees
set forth in Section 3.6.

     Notwithstanding anything expressed or implied to the contrary in this
Declaration or any Annex or Exhibit hereto, (i) the Property Trustee must
exercise the powers set forth in this Section 3.8 in a manner that is consistent
with the purposes and functions of the Trust set out in Section 3.3, and (ii)
the Property Trustee shall not take any action that is inconsistent with the
purposes and functions of the Trust set out in Section 3.3.

SECTION 3.9  Certain Duties and Responsibilities of the Property Trustee.

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 in the Securities and no implied covenants shall be read into
this Declaration against the Property Trustee. In case an Event of Default has
occurred (that has not been cured or waived pursuant to Section 2.6) of which a
Responsible Officer has actual knowledge, the Property Trustee shall exercise
such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Declaration, and use the same
degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise
or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

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

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

specifically set forth in this Declaration and in the Securities, and no implied
covenants or obligations shall be read into this Declaration or the Securities
against the Property Trustee; and (B) in the absence of bad faith on the part of
the Property Trustee, the Property Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the
truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein,
upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Property Trustee and
conforming to the requirements of this Declaration; provided, however, that in
the case of any such certificates or opinions that by any provision hereof are

Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not
they conform to the requirements of this Declaration;

          (ii)   the Property Trustee shall not be liable for any error of
judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved

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

proceeding for any remedy available to the Property Trustee, or exercising any
trust or power conferred upon the Property Trustee under this Declaration;

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

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

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

          (vii)  the Property Trustee shall not be liable for any interest on
any money received by it except as it may otherwise agree in writing with the
Sponsor. Money held by the Property Trustee need not be segregated from other
funds held by it except in relation to the Property Trustee Account maintained

otherwise required by law; and

          (viii) the Property Trustee shall not be responsible for monitoring
the compliance by the Administrative Trustees or the Sponsor with their

Trustee or the Property Trustee, merge with or into, convert into, consolidate,
amalgamate, 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)  such successor entity (the "Successor Entity") either: (A)
expressly assumes all of the obligations of the Trust under the Securities and
this Declaration; or (B) substitutes for the Securities other securities having
substantially the same terms as the Securities (the "Successor Securities") so
long as the Successor Securities rank the same as the Securities rank with

otherwise;

          (ii) the Sponsor expressly appoints a trustee of the Successor Entity
that possesses the same powers and duties as the Property Trustee as the holder
of the Debentures;

<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

            (vii)  prior to such merger, conversion, consolidation,
amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, the Sponsor has
received an opinion of an independent counsel to the Trust experienced in such
matters to the effect that: (A) such merger, conversion, consolidation,
amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not adversely
affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the Holders (including the
holders of any Successor Securities) in any material respect (other than with
respect to any dilution of the Holders' interest in the new entity); (B)
following such merger, conversion, 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,
conversion, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or
lease, the Trust (or the Successor Entity) will continue to be classified as a
grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes; and

            (viii) the Sponsor or any permitted successor or assignee owns all
of the common securities of such Successor Entity and guarantees the obligations
of such Successor Entity under the Successor Securities at least to the extent
provided by the Preferred Securities Guarantee and the Common Securities
Guarantee.

      (c)   Notwithstanding Section 3.15(b), the Trust shall not, except with
the consent of Holders of 100% in Liquidation Amount of the Securities,
consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, convert into, or be replaced by, or
convey, 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, convert into, amalgamate, merge with or into, or replace it if such
consolidation, conversion, amalgamation, merger, replacement, conveyance,
transfer or lease would cause the Trust or the Successor Entity not to be
classified as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes or
would cause the Holders of the Securities not to be treated as owning an
undivided interest in the Debentures.

                  ----------------

      The Sponsor acknowledges the rights of the Holders of Preferred Securities
(as set forth in Section 3.8(e) of this Declaration and Sections 6(b) and 7(c)
of Annex I), in the event that a failure of the Trust to pay Distributions on
the Preferred Securities is attributable to the failure of the Company to pay
interest or principal on the Debentures, to institute a proceeding directly
against the Debenture Issuer for enforcement of its payment obligations on the
Debentures.

      The number of Trustees initially shall be [five (5)], and:

      (a) at any time before the issuance of any Securities, the Sponsor may, by
written instrument, increase or decrease the number of Trustees; and

      (b) after the issuance of any Securities, the number of Trustees may be
increased or decreased by vote of the Holders of a Majority in Liquidation
Amount of the Common Securities voting as a class at a meeting of the Holders of
the Common Securities; provided, however, that, the number of Trustees shall in
no event be less than two (2); provided further that (1) one Trustee shall
satisfy the requirements of the Delaware Trustee pursuant to Section 5.2; (2)
there shall be at least one Trustee who is an officer of the Sponsor (an
"Administrative Trustee"); and (3) one Trustee shall be the Property Trustee for
so long as this Declaration is required to qualify as an indenture under the
Trust Indenture Act, and such Trustee may also serve as Delaware Trustee if it
meets the applicable requirements. Notwithstanding the above, unless an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time or times, for the
purpose of meeting the legal requirements of the Trust Indenture Act or of any
jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust's property may at the time be
located, the Holders of a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Common
Securities acting as a class at a meeting of the Holders of the Common
Securities, and the Administrative Trustees shall have power to appoint one or
more Persons either to act as a co-trustee, jointly with the Property Trustee,
of all or any part of the Trust's property, or to act as separate trustee of any
such property, in either case with such powers as may be provided in the
instrument of appointment, and to vest in such Person or Persons in such
capacity any property, title, right or power deemed necessary or desirable,
subject to the provisions of this Declaration. In case an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Property Trustee alone shall have power to make
any such appointment of a co-trustee.

      (b) if not a natural person, an entity which has its principal place of
business in the State of Delaware, and otherwise meets the requirements of
applicable law, provided that, if the Property Trustee has its principal place
of business in the State of Delaware and otherwise meets

                                      -23-

million U.S. dollars ($50,000,000), and subject to supervision or examination by
Federal, State, Territorial or District of Columbia authority. If such Person
publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of the supervising or examining authority referred to above, then
for the purposes of this Section 5.3(a)(ii), the combined capital and surplus of
such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set
forth in its most recent report of condition so published.

      (b) If at any time the Property Trustee shall cease to be eligible to so
act under Section 5.3(a), the Property Trustee shall immediately resign in the
manner and with the effect set forth in Section 5.7(c).

      (c) If the Property Trustee has or shall acquire any "conflicting
interest" within the meaning of (S)310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, the
Property Trustee and the Holder of the Common Securities (as if it were the
obligor referred to in (S)310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act) shall in all
respects comply with the provisions of (S)310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

      (d) The Preferred Securities Guarantee and the Indenture shall be deemed

telephone) of an Administrative Trustee at a meeting shall constitute a waiver
of notice of such meeting except where an Administrative Trustee attends a
meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any activity

merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Property
Trustee or the Delaware Trustee or the Administrative Trustees, as the case may
be, shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all the
corporate trust business of the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee or the
Administrative Trustees, as the case may be, shall be the successor of the

                  -------------

         Holders shall receive Distributions in accordance with the applicable

and to the extent that the Debenture Issuer makes a payment of interest
(including Compounded Interest and Additional Sums (as such terms are defined in
the Indenture)), premium and/or principal on the Debentures held by the Property
Trustee with respect to the Debentures held by the Property Trustee (the amount

directed, to the extent funds are available for that purpose, to make a
distribution (a "Distribution") of the Payment Amount to Holders.

                             ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES

SECTION 7.1       General Provisions Regarding Securities.
                  ---------------------------------------

    (a)  The Administrative Trustees shall on behalf of the Trust issue one

assets of the Trust having such terms as are set forth in Annex I (the
"Preferred Securities") and one class of common securities representing
undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust having such terms as
are set forth in Annex I (the "Common Securities"). Annex I is hereby
incorporated in and made a part of this Declaration. The Trust shall issue no
securities or other interests in the assets of the Trust other than the Trust
Securities.

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

    (c)  Upon issuance of the Securities as provided in this Declaration, the
Securities so issued shall be deemed to be validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable undivided beneficial interests in the assets of Trust.

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

    (e)  Holders of the Securities shall not have any preemptive or similar
rights.

    (f)  At the Closing Date [and any Option Closing Time], an Administrative
Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall subscribe to and purchase from the
Debenture Issuer, Debentures registered in the name of the Property Trustee on
behalf of the Trust and having an aggregate principal amount equal to the
aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities and Common Securities
issued and sold on such date, and, in satisfaction of the purchase price for

                                      -29-

<PAGE>

such Debentures, the Property Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall deliver to
the Debenture Issuer the amount received on such date from the sale by the Trust
of the Preferred Securities and Common Securities issued on such date.

SECTION 7.2       Execution and Authentication.
                  ----------------------------

    (a) The Securities shall be signed on behalf of the Trust by an
Administrative Trustee by manual or facsimile signature. In case any
Administrative Trustee of the Trust who shall have signed any of the Securities
shall cease to be such Administrative Trustee before the Securities so signed
shall be delivered by the Trust, such Securities nevertheless may be delivered
as though the person who signed such Securities had not ceased to be such
Administrative Trustee; and any Securities may be signed on behalf of the Trust
by such persons who, at the actual date of execution of such Security, shall be
the Administrative Trustees of the Trust, although at the date of the execution
and delivery of the Declaration any such person was not such an Administrative
Trustee.

    (b) One Administrative Trustee shall sign the Preferred Securities for the
Trust by manual or facsimile signature.

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

    Upon a written order of the Trust signed by one Administrative Trustee, the
Property Trustee shall authenticate the Preferred Securities for original issue.
The aggregate number of Preferred Securities outstanding at any time shall not
exceed the number set forth in Annex I hereto except as provided in Section 7.6.

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

SECTION 7.3       Form and Dating.
                  ---------------

    The Preferred Securities and the Property Trustee's certificate of
authentication 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 representing the Securities may be printed, lithographed or
engraved or may be produced in any other manner as is reasonably acceptable to
the Administrative Trustees, as evidenced by their execution thereof by one or
more of them. The Securities may have letters, CUSIP or other 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 Trust). The Trust at the direction of the Sponsor shall
furnish any such legend not contained in Exhibit A-1 to the Property Trustee in
writing. Each Preferred Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.
The terms and provisions of the Securities set forth in Annex

                                      -30-

<PAGE>

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 Property Trustee and
the Sponsor, by their execution and delivery of this Declaration, expressly
agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.

     (a) Global Securities. Securities offered may be issued in the form of one
         -----------------
or more permanent global Securities in definitive, fully registered form without
distribution coupons with the appropriate global legends set forth in Exhibit
A-1 hereto (the "Global Preferred Securities"), which shall be deposited on
behalf of the purchasers of the Preferred Securities represented thereby with
the Property Trustee, as custodian for the Clearing Agency, and registered in
the name of the Clearing Agency or a nominee of the Clearing Agency, duly
executed by the Trust and authenticated by the Property Trustee as hereinafter
provided. The number of Preferred Securities represented by the Global Preferred
Security may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on
the records of the Property Trustee and the Clearing Agency or its nominee as
hereinafter provided.

     (b) Book-Entry Provisions. This Section 7.3(b) shall apply only to the
         ---------------------

more Global Preferred Securities that (i) shall be registered in the name of
Cede & Co. or other nominee of such Clearing Agency and (ii) shall be delivered
by the Trustee to such Clearing Agency or pursuant to such Clearing Agency's
written instructions or held by the Property Trustee as custodian for the
Clearing Agency.

     Members of, or participants in, the Clearing Agency ("Participants") shall
have no rights under this Declaration with respect to any Global Preferred
Security held on their behalf by the Clearing Agency or by the Property Trustee
as the custodian of the Clearing Agency or under such Global Preferred Security,
and the Clearing Agency may be treated by the Trust, the Property Trustee and
any agent of the Trust or the Property Trustee as the absolute owner of such
Global Preferred Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Trust, the Property Trustee or any
agent of the Trust or the Property Trustee from giving effect to any written
certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Clearing Agency or
impair, as between the Clearing Agency and its Participants, the operation of
customary practices of such Clearing Agency governing the exercise of the rights
of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Preferred Security.

     (d) Authorized Denominations. The Preferred Securities are issuable only in
         ------------------------
denominations of $__________ and any integral multiple thereof.

SECTION 7.4    Registrar and Paying Agent [and Conversion Agent].
               -------------------------------------------------

     The Trust shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York,
(i) an office or agency where Preferred Securities may be presented for
registration of transfer ("Registrar"), (ii) an office or agency where Preferred
Securities may be presented for payment ("Paying Agent") [and (iii) an office or
agency where securities may be presented for conversion or exchange (a
"Conversion Agent.")]. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Preferred
Securities and of their transfer. The Trust may appoint the Registrar, Paying
Agent [and Conversion Agent] and may appoint one or more co-registrars and one
or more additional paying agents [or conversion agents] in such other locations
as it shall determine. The term "Registrar" includes any additional registrar,
the term "Paying Agent" includes any additional paying agent [and the term
"Conversion Agent" includes any additional conversion agent.]. The Trust may
change any Paying Agent, Registrar or [Conversion Agent] without prior notice to
any Holder. The Paying Agent shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent upon
30 days' written notice to the Property Trustee and the Sponsor. The Trust shall
notify the Property Trustee of the name and address of any Agent not a party to
this Declaration. If the Trust fails to appoint or maintain another entity as
Registrar, Paying Agent [or Conversion Agent], the Property Trustee shall act as
such. The Trust or any of its Affiliates may act as Paying Agent, Registrar [or
Conversion Agent]. The Trust shall act as Paying Agent, Registrar [and
Conversion Agent] for the Common Securities.

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

     The Registrar, Paying Agent [and Conversion Agent] shall be entitled to all
of the rights, protections, immunities and indemnities afforded to the Property
Trustee hereunder.

SECTION 7.5    Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.
               -----------------------------------

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

SECTION 7.6    Replacement Securities.
               ----------------------

     If a Holder claims that a Security owned by it has been lost, destroyed or
wrongfully taken or if such Security is mutilated and is surrendered to the
Trust or in the case of the Preferred Securities to the Property Trustee, the
Trust shall issue and the Property Trustee shall, upon written order of the
Trust, authenticate a replacement Security if the Property Trustee's and

                                      -32-

<PAGE>

the Trust's requirements, as the case may be, are met. An indemnity bond must be
provided by the Holder which, in the judgment of the Property Trustee, is
sufficient to protect the Trustees, the Sponsor, the Trust or any authenticating
agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The
Trust may charge such Holder for its expenses in replacing a Security. Every
replacement Security issued and authenticated in accordance with this Section
7.6 shall represent an undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the Trust.

SECTION 7.7    Outstanding Preferred Securities.
               --------------------------------

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

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

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

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

SECTION 7.8    Preferred Securities in Treasury.
               --------------------------------

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

SECTION 7.9    Temporary Securities.
               --------------------

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

     (b) A Global Preferred Security deposited with the Clearing Agency or with
the Property Trustee as custodian for the Clearing Agency pursuant to Section
7.3 shall be transferred to the beneficial owners thereof in the form of
Definitive Preferred Securities only if such transfer complies with Section 9.2
and (i) the Clearing Agency notifies the Sponsor that it is unwilling or unable
to continue as Clearing Agency for such Global Preferred Security or if at any
time such Clearing Agency ceases to be a "clearing agency" registered under the
Exchange

                                      -33-

<PAGE>

Act and a clearing agency is not appointed by the Sponsor within 90 days of
such notice, or (ii) the Administrative Trustees, on behalf of the Trust, at
their sole discretion elect to cause the issuance of Definitive Preferred
Securities.

     (c) Any Global Preferred Security that is transferable to the beneficial
owners thereof in the form of Definitive Preferred Securities pursuant to this
Section 7.9 shall be surrendered by the Clearing Agency to the Property Trustee,
to be so transferred, in whole or from time to time in part, without charge, and
the Administrative Trustee shall prepare and the Property Trustee shall
authenticate and make available for delivery, upon such transfer of each portion
of such Global Preferred Security, an equal aggregate Liquidation Amount of
Securities of authorized denominations in the form of certificated Preferred
Securities. Any portion of a Global Preferred Security transferred pursuant to
this Section shall be registered in such names as the Clearing Agency shall
direct.

     (d) Subject to the provisions of Section 7.9(c), the Holder of a Global
Preferred Security may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person,
including Participants and Persons that may hold interests through Participants,
to take any action which such Holder is entitled to take under this Declaration
or the Securities.

     (e) In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in
Section 7.9(b), the Administrative Trustees on behalf of the Trust will promptly
make available to the Property Trustee a reasonable supply of certificated
Preferred Securities in fully registered form without distribution coupons.

SECTION 7.10   Exchange.
               --------

     (a) If at any time the Sponsor or any of its Affiliates (in either case, a
"Sponsor Affiliated Holder") is the Holder of any Preferred Securities, such
Sponsor Affiliated Holder shall have the right to deliver to the Property
Trustee all or such portion of its Preferred Securities as its elects and
receive, in exchange therefore, a like amount of Debentures. Such election (i)
shall be exercisable effective on any date of Distribution by such Sponsor
Affiliated Holder delivering to the Property Trustee a written notice of such
election specifying the Liquidation Amount of Preferred Securities with respect
to which such election is being made and the date of Distribution on which such
exchange shall occur, which Distribution date shall be not fewer than ten
Business Days after the date of receipt by the Property Trustee of such election
notice and (ii) shall be conditioned upon such Sponsor Affiliated Holder having
delivered or caused to be delivered to the Property Trustee or its designee the
Preferred Securities which are the subject of such election by 10:00 A.M. New
York time, on the date of Distribution on which such exchange is to occur. After
the exchange, such Preferred Securities will be canceled and will no longer be
deemed to be outstanding and all rights of the Sponsor or its Affiliates with
respect to such Preferred Securities will cease.

     (b) In the case of an exchange described in Section 7.10(a), the Trust
will, on the date of such exchange, exchange Debentures having a principal
amount equal to a proportional amount of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the
outstanding Common Securities, based on the ratio of the aggregate Liquidation
Amount of the Preferred Securities exchanged pursuant to Section 7.10(a) divided
by the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities

                                      -34-

<PAGE>

outstanding immediately prior to such exchange, for such proportional amount
of Common Securities held by the Sponsor (which contemporaneously shall be
canceled and no longer be deemed to be outstanding); provided, that the Sponsor
delivers or caused to be delivered to the Property Trustee or its designee the
required amount of Common Securities to be exchanged by 10:00 A.M. New York
time, on the date of Distribution on which such exchange is to occur.

SECTION 7.11   Cancellation.
               ------------

     The Trust at any time may deliver Preferred Securities to the Property
Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to
the Property Trustee any Preferred Securities surrendered to them for
registration of transfer, redemption, exchange or payment. The Property Trustee
shall promptly cancel all Preferred Securities surrendered for registration of
transfer, redemption, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall
dispose of canceled Preferred Securities in accordance with its customary
procedures unless the Trust otherwise directs. The Trust may not issue new
Preferred Securities to replace Preferred Securities that it has paid or that
have been delivered to the Property Trustee for cancellation or that any Holder
has exchanged.

SECTION 7.12   CUSIP Numbers.
               -------------

     The Trust in issuing the Preferred Securities may use "CUSIP" numbers (if
then generally in use), and, if so, the Property Trustee shall use "CUSIP"
numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders of Preferred
Securities; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is
made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Preferred
Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may
be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Preferred
Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or
omission of such numbers. The Sponsor will promptly notify the Property Trustee
of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                              DISSOLUTION OF TRUST

SECTION 8.1    Dissolution of Trust.
               --------------------

     (a) The Trust shall automatically dissolve:

         (i)   upon the bankruptcy of the Sponsor;

         (ii)  upon the filing of a certificate of dissolution or liquidation or
its equivalent with respect to the Sponsor; or the revocation of the Sponsor's
charter and the expiration of 90 days after the date of revocation without a
reinstatement thereof;

         (iii) upon receipt of a written direction from the Sponsor (which shall
be at its sole discretion) while the Debentures are outstanding requiring the
Trustees to dissolve the Trust and, after satisfaction of the liabilities of the
Trust to the creditors of the Trust, to distribute a Like Amount of the
Debentures to Holders of the Securities pursuant to the terms thereof;

                                      -35-

<PAGE>

          (iv)  upon the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Trust
by a court of competent jurisdiction;

          (v)   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]

          (vi)  the expiration of the term of the Trust provided in Section
3.14; [or]

          (vii) [(upon the distribution of the Sponsor's [other securities] to
all Holders of Securities upon a conversion or exchange of all such Securities
in accordance with the terms thereof].

     (b) As soon as is practicable after the occurrence of an event referred to
in Section 8.1(a), after the winding up of the affairs of the Trust is
completed, the Administrative Trustees shall execute and file a certificate of
cancellation of the certificate of trust of the Trust with the Secretary of
State of the State of Delaware.

     (c) The provisions of Section 3.9 and Article X shall survive the
termination of the Trust.

                                   ARTICLE IX
                              TRANSFER OF INTERESTS

SECTION 9.1    Transfer of Securities.
               ----------------------

     (a) Securities may be transferred, in whole or in part, only in accordance
with the terms and conditions set forth in this Declaration and in the terms of
the Securities. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any transfer or
purported transfer of any Security not made in accordance with this Declaration
shall be null and void. Subject to the terms of this Declaration, Preferred
Securities are freely tradeable.

     (b) The Administrative Trustees shall provide for the registration of
Preferred Securities and of the transfer of Preferred Securities, which will be
effected without charge but only upon payment (with such indemnity as the
Administrative Trustees 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 Preferred Securities, the Administrative Trustees shall cause
one or more new Preferred Securities to be issued in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees. Every Preferred Security surrendered for registration
of transfer shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Administrative Trustees and the Registrar duly executed by
the Holder or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Preferred
Security surrendered for registration of transfer shall be canceled by the
Property Trustee. A transferee of a Preferred Security shall be entitled to the
rights and subject to the obligations of a Holder hereunder upon the receipt by
such transferee of a Preferred Security. By acceptance of a Preferred Security,
each transferee shall be deemed to have agreed to be bound by this Declaration.

                                      -36-

<PAGE>

     (c) For so long as the Trust Securities remain outstanding, the Sponsor
agrees (i) to directly or indirectly maintain 100% direct or indirect ownership
of the Common Securities; provided, however, that any permitted successor of the
Sponsor under the Indenture may succeed to the Sponsor's ownership of such
Common Securities, (ii) to use its reasonable efforts to cause the Trust (x) to
remain a business trust, except in connection with the distribution of
Debentures to the Holders of Trust Securities in dissolution and liquidation of
the Trust, the redemption of all of the Trust Securities, or certain mergers,
conversions, consolidations or amalgamations, each as permitted by this
Declaration, and (y) to otherwise continue to be classified as a grantor trust
for United States federal income tax purposes and (iii) to use its reasonable
efforts to cause each Holder of Trust Securities to be treated as owning an
undivided beneficial interest in the Debentures.

SECTION 9.2    Transfer Procedures and Restrictions.
               ------------------------------------

     (a) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Preferred Securities. When
         --------------------------------------------------------
Definitive Preferred Securities are presented to the Registrar or co-Registrar
(i) to register the transfer of such Definitive Preferred Securities, or (ii) to
exchange such Definitive Preferred Securities which became mutilated, destroyed,
defaced, stolen or lost for an equal number of Definitive Preferred Securities,
the Registrar or co-registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange
as requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met;
provided, however, that the Definitive Preferred 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
Administrative Trustees and the Registrar or co-registrar, duly executed by the
Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

     (b) Restrictions on Transfer of a Definitive Preferred Security for a
         -----------------------------------------------------------------
Beneficial Interest in a Global Preferred Security. A Definitive Preferred
--------------------------------------------------
Security may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Preferred
Security except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below. Upon
receipt by the Property Trustee of a Definitive Preferred Security, duly
endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instruments of transfer, in form
satisfactory to the Property Trustee and the Administrative Trustees, together
with written instructions directing the Property Trustee to make, or to direct
the Clearing Agency to make, an adjustment on its books and records with respect
to the appropriate Global Preferred Security to reflect an increase in the
number of the Preferred Securities represented by such Global Preferred
Security, then the Property Trustee shall cancel such Definitive Preferred
Security and cause, or direct the Clearing Agency to cause, the aggregate number
of Preferred Securities represented by the appropriate Global Preferred Security
to be increased accordingly. If no Global Preferred Securities are then
outstanding, the Trust shall issue and the Property Trustee shall authenticate,
upon written order of any Administrative Trustee, an appropriate number of
Preferred Securities in global form.

     (c) Transfer and Exchange of Global Preferred Securities. The transfer and
         ----------------------------------------------------
exchange of Global Preferred Securities or beneficial interests therein shall be
effected through the Clearing Agency, in accordance with this Declaration
(including applicable restrictions on transfer set forth herein, if any) and the
procedures of the Clearing Agency therefor. Notwithstanding any other provisions
of this Declaration (other than the provisions set forth in Section 7.9(b)), a
Global Preferred Security may not be transferred as a whole except by the
Clearing Agency to a nominee of the Clearing Agency or another nominee of the
Clearing

                                      -37-

<PAGE>

Agency or by the Clearing Agency or any such nominee to a successor Clearing
Agency or a nominee of such successor Clearing Agency.

     (d) Cancellation or Adjustment of Global Preferred Security. At such time
         -------------------------------------------------------
as all beneficial interests in a Global Preferred Security have either been
exchanged for Definitive Preferred Securities to the extent permitted by this
Declaration or redeemed, repurchased or canceled in accordance with the terms of
this Declaration, such Global Preferred Security shall be canceled by the
Property Trustee. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial
interest in a Global Preferred Security is exchanged for Definitive Preferred
Securities, Preferred Securities represented by such Global Preferred Security
shall be reduced and an adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the
Clearing Agency and the Registrar, to reflect such reduction.

     (e) Issuance of Definitive Preferred Securities in Exchange for Global
         ------------------------------------------------------------------
Securities. Definitive Preferred Securities will be issued in exchange for
----------
Global Securities only as provided in Sections 7.9(b) and (c).

SECTION 9.3    Deemed Security Holders.
               -----------------------

     The Trustees may treat the Person in whose name any Security shall be
registered on the books and records of the Trust as the sole owner of such
Security 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 Security on the part of any Person, whether
or not the Trust shall have actual or other notice thereof.

SECTION 9.4    Book Entry Interests.
               --------------------

     Global Preferred Securities shall initially be registered on the books and
records of the Trust in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the Clearing
Agency, and no Preferred Security Beneficial Owner will receive a definitive
Preferred Security Certificate representing such Preferred Security Beneficial
Owner's interests in such Global Preferred Securities, except as provided in
Section 9.2 and Section 7.9. Unless and until definitive, fully registered
Preferred Securities certificates have been issued to the Preferred Security
Beneficial Owners pursuant to Section 9.2 and Section 7.9:

     (a) the provisions of this Section 9.4 shall be in full force and effect;

     (b) the Trust and the Trustees shall be entitled to deal with the Clearing
Agency for all purposes of this Declaration (including the payment of
Distributions on the Global Preferred Securities and receiving approvals, votes
or consents hereunder) as the Holder of the Preferred Securities and the sole
holder of the certificate or certificates representing Global Preferred
Securities and shall have no obligation to the Preferred Security Beneficial
Owners;

     (c) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 9.4 conflict with any
other provisions of this Declaration, the provisions of this Section 9.4 shall
control; and

     (d) the rights of the Preferred Security Beneficial Owners shall be
exercised only through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those
established by law and agreements

                                      -38-

<PAGE>

between such Preferred Security Beneficial Owners and the Clearing Agency
and/or the Participants and the Clearing Agency shall receive and transmit
payments of Distributions on the Global Preferred Securities to such
Participants, provided, that solely for the purposes of determining whether the
Holders of the requisite amount of Preferred Securities have voted on any matter
provided for in this Declaration, so long as Definitive Preferred Security
certificates have not been issued, the Trustees may conclusively rely on, and
shall be protected in relying on, any written instrument (including a proxy)
delivered to the Trustees by the Clearing Agency setting forth the Preferred
Security Beneficial Owners' votes or assigning the right to vote on any matter
to any other Persons either in whole or in part. DTC will make book entry
transfers among the Participants.

SECTION 9.5    Notices to Clearing Agency.
               --------------------------

     Whenever a notice or other communication to the Preferred Security Holders
is required under this Declaration, the Trustees shall give all such notices and
communications specified herein to be given to the Holders of Global Preferred
Securities to the Clearing Agency, and shall have no notice obligations to the
Preferred Security Beneficial Owners.

SECTION 9.6    Appointment of Successor Clearing Agency.
               ----------------------------------------

     If any Clearing Agency elects to discontinue its services as securities
depositary with respect to the Preferred Securities, the Administrative Trustees
may, in their sole discretion, appoint a successor Clearing Agency with respect
to such Preferred Securities.

SECTION 10.1   Liability.
               ---------

     (a) Except as expressly set forth in this Declaration, the Securities
Guarantees 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 which shall be made solely
from assets of the Trust; or

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

     (b) The Debenture Issuer shall be liable for all of the debts and
obligations of the Trust (other than in respect of the payment of principal,
interest and premium, if any, on the Securities) to the extent not satisfied out
of the Trust's assets.

     (c) Pursuant to (S)3803(a) of the Business Trust Act, the Holders shall be
entitled to the same limitation of personal liability extended to stockholders
of private corporations for profit organized under the General Corporation Law
of the State of Delaware.

SECTION 10.2   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 shall be liable for any such loss, damage or claim
incurred by reason of such Indemnified Person's gross negligence (or, in the
case of the Property Trustee, negligence) or willful misconduct with respect to
such acts or omissions.

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

SECTION 10.3   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 Property Trustee under the Trust Indenture Act), are
agreed by the parties hereto to replace such other duties and liabilities of
such Indemnified Person.

     (b) Unless otherwise expressly provided herein:

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

         (ii) whenever this Declaration or any other agreement contemplated
herein or therein provides that an Indemnified Person shall act in a manner that
is, or provides terms that are, fair and reasonable to the Trust or any Holder
of Securities, the Indemnified Person shall resolve such conflict of interest,
take such action or provide such terms, considering in each case the relative
interest of each party (including its own interest) to such conflict, agreement,
transaction or situation and the benefits and burdens relating to such
interests, any customary or accepted industry practices, and any applicable
generally accepted accounting practices or principles. In the absence of bad
faith by the Indemnified Person, the resolution, action or term so made, taken
or provided by the Indemnified Person shall not constitute a breach of this
Declaration or any other agreement contemplated herein or of any duty or
obligation of the Indemnified Person at law or in equity or otherwise.

                                      -40-

<PAGE>

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

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

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

SECTION 10.4   Indemnification.
               ---------------

     (a) (i)   The Debenture Issuer shall indemnify, to the full extent
permitted by law, any Company 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 a Company 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 except that no Company Indemnified Person shall be indemnified for
his own gross negligence or willful misconduct. 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 Company Indemnified Person acted with gross negligence or willful
misconduct.

         (ii)  The Debenture Issuer shall indemnify, to the full extent
permitted by law, any Company 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 a Company 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 except that no Company Indemnified Party shall be indemnified for such
Company Indemnified Party's own gross negligence or willful misconduct and
except that no such indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue
or matter as to which such Company 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 a Company 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 10.4(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) actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection therewith.

                                      -41-

<PAGE>

         (iv)  Any indemnification under paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section
10.4(a) (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Debenture Issuer only
as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of
the Company 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 (1) by the Administrative Trustees by a majority
vote of a Quorum consisting of such Administrative Trustees who were not parties
to such action, suit or proceeding, (2) if such a Quorum is not obtainable, or,
even if obtainable, if a Quorum of disinterested Administrative Trustees so
directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the Common
Security Holder of the Trust.

         (v)   Expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by a
Company Indemnified Person in defending a civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative action, suit or proceeding referred to in paragraphs (i) and (ii)
of this Section 10.4(a) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be paid
by the Debenture Issuer in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit
or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Company
Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined
that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Debenture Issuer as authorized
in this Section 10.4(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no advance shall be made
by the Debenture Issuer if a determination is reasonably and promptly made (i)
by the Administrative Trustees by a majority vote of a Quorum of disinterested
Administrative Trustees, (ii) if such a Quorum is not obtainable, or, even if
obtainable, if a Quorum of disinterested Administrative Trustees so directs, by
independent legal counsel in a written opinion or (iii) the Common Security
Holder of the Trust, that, based upon the facts known to the Administrative
Trustees, counsel or the Common Security Holder at the time such determination
is made, such Company Indemnified Person acted with gross negligence or willful
misconduct. In no event shall any advance be made in instances where the
Administrative Trustees, independent legal counsel or Common Security Holder
reasonably determine that such Person deliberately breached his duty to the
Trust or its Common or Preferred Security Holders.

         (vi)  The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or

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
10.4(a) with respect to the resulting or surviving entity as he would have with

Trustee (subject to Section 5.3(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 shall have no rights by virtue of this Declaration in and to such
independent ventures or the income or profits derived therefrom, and the pursuit
of any such venture, even if competitive with the business of the Trust, shall
not be deemed wrongful or improper. No Covered Person, the Sponsor, the Delaware
Trustee, or the Property 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

or agent for, or act on any committee or body of holders of, securities or other

     The Debenture Issuer agrees:

     (a) to pay to the Trustees from time to time such compensation for all

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 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 as may be attributable to its gross negligence (or, in
the case of the property trustee, negligence) or willful misconduct.

     The provisions of this Section 10.6 shall survive the dissolution of the
Trust and the termination of this Declaration and the removal or resignation of
any Trustee.

     No Trustee may claim any lien or charge on any property of the Trust as a
result of any amount due pursuant to this Section 10.6.

     (a) At all times during the existence of the Trust, the Administrative
Trustees shall keep, or cause to be kept, full books of account, records and
supporting documents, which shall reflect in reasonable detail, each transaction
of the Trust. The books of account shall be maintained on the accrual method of
accounting, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
consistently applied. The books of account and the records of the Trust shall be
examined by and reported upon as of the end of each Fiscal Year of the Trust by
a firm of independent certified public accountants selected by the
Administrative Trustees.

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

                                      -44-

<PAGE>

     (c) The Administrative Trustees shall cause to be duly prepared and filed
with the appropriate taxing authority, an annual United States federal income
tax return, on a Form 1041 or such other form required by United States federal
income tax law, and any other annual income tax returns required to be filed by

taxing authority.

SECTION 11.3   Banking.
               -------

     The Trust may maintain one or more bank accounts in the name and for the

respect of the Debentures held by the Property Trustee shall be made directly to
the Property Trustee Account and no other funds of the Trust shall be deposited

SECTION 11.4   Withholding.

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

preferences of any Holder may be effected only with such additional requirements
as may be set forth in the terms of such Securities.

without the consent of the Holders to:

          (i)   cure any ambiguity, correct or supplement any provision in this
Declaration that may be inconsistent with any other provision of this
Declaration or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions
arising under this Declaration which shall not be inconsistent with the other
provisions of the Declaration;

          (ii)  modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Declaration to
such extent as shall be necessary to ensure that the Trust will be classified

that any Securities are outstanding or to ensure that the Trust will not be
required to register as an Investment Company under the Investment Company Act;

          (iii) evidence, pursuant to Section 5.7 hereof, the acceptance of the

<PAGE>

     (a)  Meetings of the Holders of any class of Securities may be called at
any time by the Administrative Trustees (or as provided in the terms of the
Securities) to consider and act on any matter on which Holders of such class of
Securities are entitled to act under the terms of this Declaration, the terms of
the Securities or the rules of any stock exchange on which the Preferred
Securities are listed or admitted for trading. The Administrative Trustees shall
call a meeting of the Holders of such class if directed to do so by the Holders
of at least 25% in Liquidation Amount of such class of Securities. Such
direction shall be given by delivering to the Administrative Trustees one or
more notices in writing stating that the signing Holders wish to call a meeting
and indicating the general or specific purpose for which the meeting is to be
called. Any Holders calling a meeting shall specify in writing the Security
Certificates held by the Holders exercising the right to call a meeting and only
those Securities specified shall be counted for purposes of determining whether
the required percentage set forth in the second sentence of this paragraph has
been met.

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

          (i)   notice of any such meeting shall be given to all the Holders
having a right to vote thereat at least seven days and not more than 60 days
before the date of such meeting. Whenever a vote, consent or approval of the
Holders is permitted or required under this Declaration or the rules of any
stock exchange on which the Preferred Securities are listed or admitted for
trading, such vote, consent or approval may be given at a meeting of the
Holders. Any action that may be taken at a meeting of the Holders may be taken
without a meeting and without prior notice if a consent in writing setting forth
the action so taken is signed by the Holders owning not less than the minimum
amount of Securities in Liquidation Amount that would be necessary to authorize
or take such action at a meeting at which all Holders 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 entitled to vote who have not consented in
writing. The Administrative Trustees may specify that any written ballot
submitted to the Security Holder for the purpose of taking any action without a
meeting shall be returned to the Trust within the time specified by the
Administrative Trustees;

          (ii)  each Holder may authorize any Person to act for it by proxy on
all matters in which a Holder 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 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 were stockholders of a Delaware corporation;

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

          (iv)  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 Preferred Securities are then listed or trading, otherwise
provides, the Administrative Trustees, in

                                      -47-

their sole discretion, shall establish all other provisions relating to meetings
of Holders, including notice of the time, place or purpose of any meeting at
which any matter is to be voted on by any Holders, waiver of any such notice,
action by consent without a meeting, the establishment of a record date, quorum

                                     ANNEX I

                                    TERMS OF
                           ____% PREFERRED SECURITIES
                             ____% COMMON SECURITIES


     Pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust,
dated as of [__________] (as amended from time to time, the "Declaration"), the
designation, rights, privileges, restrictions, preferences and other terms and
provisions of the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities (collectively,
the "Securities") are set out below (each capitalized term used but not defined
herein has the meaning set forth in the Declaration or, if not defined in such
Declaration, as defined in the Indenture):

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

         (a) Preferred Securities. [______] Preferred Securities of the Trust,
with an aggregate Liquidation Amount with respect to the assets of the Trust of
[____________] dollars ($[__________]), and with a Liquidation Amount with
respect to the assets of the Trust of $____ per Security, are hereby designated
for the purposes of identification only as "[ ]% [Preferred Securities]" (the
"Preferred Securities"). The certificates evidencing the Preferred 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 or quotation system on which the Preferred Securities are listed or
quoted.

         (b) Common Securities. [_______] Common Securities of the Trust with an
aggregate Liquidation Amount with respect to the assets of the Trust of
[________________] dollars ($[___________]) and a Liquidation Amount with
respect to the assets of the Trust of $[_____] per Security, are hereby
designated for the purposes of identification only as "[___]% Common Securities"
(the "Common Securities"). The certificates evidencing the Common Securities
shall be 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.

     2.  Distributions.
         -------------

         (a) Distributions payable on each Security will be fixed at a rate per
annum of [ ]% (the "Coupon Rate") of the Liquidation Amount of $[______] per
Security (the "Liquidation Amount"), such rate being the rate of interest
payable on the Debentures to be held by the Property Trustee. Distributions in
arrears for more than one [semi-annual] period will bear additional
distributions thereon compounded [semi-annually] at the Coupon Rate (to the
extent permitted by applicable law). The term "Distributions", as used herein,
includes any such additional distributions unless otherwise stated. A
Distribution is payable only to the extent that payments are made in respect of
the Debentures held by the Property Trustee and to the extent the Property
Trustee has funds on hand legally available therefor.

         (b) Distributions on the Securities will be cumulative, will accumulate
from the most recent date to which Distributions have been paid or, if no
Distributions have been paid,

                                   Annex I-1

<PAGE>

from and including [_______], but excluding the related Distribution Date (as
defined below) or the date of redemption, and will be payable [semi-annually] in
arrears on [_______ and ________] of each year, commencing on
[__________________], except as otherwise described below. The amount of
Distributions payable for any period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year consisting of twelve 30-day months and for any period of less than a full
calendar month on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in such month.
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 shall 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 the date such payment was originally payable (each date on which
Distributions are payable in accordance with the foregoing, a "Distribution
Date").

     [So long as no Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) has occurred
and is continuing, the Debenture Issuer has the right under the Indenture to
defer the payment of interest on the Debentures by extending the interest
payment period at any time and from time to time for a period not exceeding
[___] consecutive [semi-annual] periods, including the first such [semi-annual]
period during such period (each an "Extension Period"), provided that no
Extension Period shall extend beyond the Maturity Date of the Debentures.
Distributions will be deferred during any Extension Period. Notwithstanding such
deferral, Distributions to which Holders are entitled shall continue to
accumulate additional Distributions thereon (to the extent permitted by
applicable law but not at a rate greater than the rate at which interest is then
accruing on the Debentures) at the Coupon Rate compounded [semi-annually] from
the relevant Distribution Dates during any Extension Period. Prior to the
expiration of any Extension Period, the Debenture Issuer may further defer
payments of interest by further extending such Extension Period; provided that
such Extension Period, together with all previous and further extensions, if
any, within such Extension Period, may not exceed [___] consecutive
[semi-annual] periods, including the first [semi-annual] period during such
Extension Period, or extend beyond the Maturity Date of the Debentures. Upon the
expiration of any Extension Period and the payment of all amounts then due, the
Debenture Issuer may commence a new Extension Period, subject to the above
requirements. [Payments of Distributions that have accumulated but not been paid
during any Extension Period will be payable to Holders as they appear on the
books and records of the Trust on the record date for the first scheduled
Distribution Date following the expiration of such Extension Period and prior to
the commencement of any new Extension Period.] The Debenture Issuer must give
the Property Trustee, the Administrative Trustees and the Debenture Trustee
notice of its election of any Extension Period or any extension thereof at least
one Business Day prior to the earlier of (i) the date the Distributions on the
Preferred Securities would have been payable except for the election to begin or
extend such Extension Period and (ii) the date the Administrative Trustees are
required to give notice to any securities exchange or to Holders of the
Preferred Securities of the record date or the date such Distributions are
payable, but in any event not less than one Business Day prior to such record
date. There is no limitation on the number of times that the Debenture Issuer
may elect to begin an Extension Period.]

          (c) Distributions on the Securities will be payable to the Holders
thereof as they appear on the books and records of the Trust on the record
dates, which shall be [the

                                   Annex I-2

<PAGE>

Business Day prior to the relevant Distribution date as long as the Preferred
Securities are held in global form by a Clearing Agency, and the 15th day of the
last month in each distribution period (even if not a Business Day) if the
Preferred Securities are issued in certificated form]. Subject to any applicable
laws and regulations and the provisions of the Declaration, each such payment in
respect of the Preferred Securities will be made as follows: (i) if the
Preferred Securities are held in global form by a Clearing Agency (or its
nominee), in accordance with the procedures of the Clearing Agency; and (ii) if
the Preferred Securities are held in definitive form, by check mailed to the
address of the Holder thereof as reflected in the records of the Registrar
unless otherwise agreed by the Trust. The relevant record dates for the Common
Securities shall be the same as the record dates for the Preferred Securities.
Distributions payable on any Securities that are not punctually paid on any
Distribution Date will cease to be payable to the Holder 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.

         [(d) In the event of an election by the Holder to convert its
Securities through the Conversion Agent into [securities] pursuant to the terms
of the Securities as forth in this Annex I to the Declaration, no payment,
allowance or adjustment shall be made with respect to accumulated and unpaid
Distributions on such Securities, or be required to be made; provided that
Holders of Securities at the close of business on any record date for the
payment of Distributions will be entitled to receive the Distributions payable
on such Securities on the corresponding payment date notwithstanding the
conversion of such Securities into [securities] following such record date.]

         (e) 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 any dissolution of the Trust pursuant to Sections
8.1(a)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (vi) of the Declaration, the Trust shall be
liquidated by the Administrative Trustees as expeditiously as the Administrative
Trustees determine 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 a Like Amount (as defined below) of the Debentures,
unless such Distribution is determined by the Property Trustee not to be
practicable, in which event such Holders will be entitled to receive out of the
assets of the Trust legally available for Distribution to Holders, after
satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Trust as provided by applicable
law, an amount equal to the aggregate of the Liquidation Amount of $_____ per
Security plus accumulated and unpaid Distributions thereon to the date of
payment (such amount being the "Liquidation Distribution").

     "Like Amount" means (i) with respect to a redemption of the Securities,
Securities having a Liquidation Amount equal to the principal amount of
Debentures to be paid in accordance with their terms and (ii) with respect to a
distribution of Debentures upon the dissolution of the Trust, Debentures having
a principal amount equal to the Liquidation Amount of the Securities of the
Holder to whom such Debentures are distributed.

                                   Annex I-3

<PAGE>

     On and from the date fixed by the Administrative Trustees for any
distribution of Debentures and dissolution of the Trust: (i) the Securities will
no longer be deemed to be outstanding; (ii) the Clearing Agency or its nominee,
as the Holder of the Securities, will receive a registered global certificate or
certificates representing the Debentures to be delivered upon such distribution;
and (iii) any Securities not held by the Clearing Agency or its nominee will be
deemed to represent beneficial interests in a Like Amount of Debentures, and
bearing accrued and unpaid interest in an amount equal to the accumulated and
unpaid Distributions on such Securities, until such Securities are presented to
the Registrar or its agent for cancellation, whereupon the Debenture Issuer will
issue, and the Debenture Trustee will authenticate, a certificate representing
such Debentures.

     If, upon any such liquidation, the Liquidation Distribution can be paid
only in part because the Trust has insufficient assets on hand legally available
to pay in full the aggregate Liquidation Distribution, then the amounts payable
directly by the Trust on the Securities shall be paid on a Pro Rata basis.

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

         (a) Upon the repayment of the Debentures on the Maturity Date thereof
[or redemption thereof (in whole or in part) prior thereto in accordance with
the terms thereof], the proceeds from such repayment or redemption shall be
simultaneously applied by the Property Trustee (subject to the Property Trustee
having received notice no later than 45 days prior to such repayment or
redemption) to redeem a Like Amount of the Securities at a redemption price
equal to (i) in the case of the repayment of the Debentures on the Maturity
Date, the Maturity Redemption Price (as defined below), [(ii) in the case of the
optional redemption of the Debentures prior to [___________] upon the occurrence
and continuation of a [Special Event] (as defined below), the Special Event
Redemption Price (as defined below)] and [(iii) in the case of the optional
redemption of the Debentures other than as contemplated in clause (ii) above,
the Optional Redemption Price (as defined below)]. The [Maturity Redemption
Price, the Special Event Redemption Price and the Optional Redemption Price] are
referred to collectively as the "Redemption Price."

         (b)  (i)   The "Maturity Redemption Price" shall mean a price equal to
100% of the Liquidation Amount of the Securities to be redeemed plus accumulated
and unpaid Distributions thereon, if any, to the date of redemption.

              [(ii) "Optional Redemption Price" shall mean a price equal to the
percentage of the Liquidation Amount of Securities to be redeemed plus
accumulated and unpaid Distributions thereon, if any, to the date of such
redemption if redeemed during the 12 month period beginning [______] of the
years indicated below:

              Year                            Percentage

                                                  %

     and thereafter at 100% of the Liquidation Amount of Securities to be
redeemed.].

                                   Annex I-4



<PAGE>

             [(iii) "Special Event Redemption Price" shall mean a price equal to
[__________], plus, in either case, accumulated and unpaid Distributions
thereon, if any, to the date of such redemption.]

     ["Special Event" shall mean _____________________________________.]

         (c) The Trust may not redeem fewer than all the outstanding Securities
unless all accumulated and unpaid Distributions have been paid on all Securities
for all Distribution periods that expire on or before the date of redemption.

         (d) The procedure with respect to redemptions of Securities or
distributions of Debentures shall be as follows:

             (i)   Notice of any redemption of, or notice of distribution of
Debentures in exchange for, the Securities (a "Redemption/Distribution Notice")
will be given by the Trust by mail to each Holder 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
repayment or 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(d)(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. Each Redemption/Distribution Notice shall be
addressed to the Holders at the address of each such Holder appearing in the
books and records of the Trust. No defect in the Redemption/Distribution Notice
or in the mailing of either thereof with respect to any Holder shall affect the
validity of the redemption or exchange proceedings with respect to any other
Holder.

             (ii)  In the event that fewer than all the outstanding Securities
are to be redeemed, the Securities to be redeemed shall be redeemed Pro Rata
from each Holder, it being understood that, in respect of Preferred Securities
registered in the name of and held of record by a Clearing Agency or its
nominee, the distribution of the proceeds of such redemption will be made to the
Clearing Agency or its nominee and disbursed by such Clearing Agency in
accordance with the procedures applied by such agency or nominee.

             (iii) If Securities are to be redeemed and the Trust gives a
Redemption/Distribution Notice, such notice shall be irrevocable and (A) with
respect to Preferred Securities registered in the name of or held of record by a
Clearing Agency or its nominee, by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the
redemption date, provided that the Debenture Issuer has paid the Property
Trustee a sufficient amount of cash in connection with the related maturity or
redemption of the Debentures by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Maturity
Date or the date of redemption, as the case may be, the Property Trustee or the
Paying Agent will pay to the Clearing Agency or its nominee funds sufficient to
pay the applicable Redemption Price with respect to such Preferred Securities,
and (B) with respect to Preferred Securities issued in certificated form and
Common Securities, provided that the Debenture Issuer has paid the Property
Trustee a sufficient amount of cash in connection with the related maturity or
redemption of the Debentures, the Property Trustee or the Paying Agent will pay
the relevant Redemption Price to the Holders of such Securities against
presentation to the Registrar of the

                                   Annex I-5

<PAGE>

certificates therefor. If a Redemption/Distribution Notice shall have been given
and funds deposited with the Property Trustee to pay the Redemption Price
(including all unpaid Distributions) with respect to the Securities called for
redemption, then immediately prior to the close of business on the redemption
date, Distributions will cease to accumulate 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
Redemption Price, but without interest on such Redemption Price, and such
Securities shall cease to be outstanding.

              (iv) Payment of accumulated and unpaid Distributions on the
redemption date of any Securities will be subject to the rights of Holders of
such Securities on the close of business on a regular record date in respect of
a Distribution Date occurring on or prior to such Redemption Date.

              (v)  Neither the Administrative Trustees nor the Trust shall be
required to register or cause to be registered the transfer of (A) any
Securities beginning on the opening of business 15 days before the day of
mailing of a Redemption/Distribution Notice or (B) any Securities selected for
redemption (except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed). If
any date fixed for redemption of Securities is not a Business Day, then payment
of the Redemption Price payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding
day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect
of any such delay) except that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding
calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business
Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on such date fixed
for redemption. If payment of the Redemption Price in respect of any Securities
is improperly withheld or refused and not paid on the date fixed for redemption
either by the Property Trustee or the Paying Agent or by the Sponsor as
guarantor pursuant to the Preferred Securities Guarantee, on the date fixed for
redemption, (A) Distributions on such Securities will continue to accumulate
from such redemption date to the actual date of payment, and (B) the actual
payment date will be considered the date fixed for redemption for purposes of
calculating the Redemption Price.

              (vi) Subject to the foregoing and applicable law (including,
without limitation, United States federal securities laws), the Sponsor or any
of its Affiliates may at any time and from time to time purchase outstanding
Preferred Securities by tender, in the open market or by private agreement.

     [5.  Conversion Rights.
          -----------------

     The Holders shall have the right at any time, beginning ____________
through the close of business on ____________ (or, in the case of Securities
called for redemption, prior to the close of business on the Business Day prior
to the redemption date), at their option, to cause the Conversion Agent to
convert Securities, on behalf of the converting Holders, into [other securities]
in the manner described herein on and subject to the following terms and
conditions:

          (a) The Securities will be convertible or exchangeable at the office
of the Conversion Agent into fully paid and nonassessable [other securities]
pursuant to the Holder's direction to the Conversion Agent [in the form of
Exhibit ___ hereto] to exchange such Securities for a portion of the Debentures
theretofore held by the Trust on the basis of one

                                   Annex I-6

<PAGE>

Security per $____ principal amount of Debentures, and immediately convert such
amount of Debentures into fully paid and nonassessable [other securities] at an
initial rate of _______________ per $________ principal amount of Debentures
(which is equivalent to a conversion price of $ ____per [other security],
subject to certain adjustments set forth in [Article XIII] of the Indenture (as
so adjusted, the "Conversion Price")).

         (b) In order to convert Securities into [other securities] the Holder
shall submit to the Conversion Agent at the office referred to above an
irrevocable request to convert Securities on behalf of such Holder (the
"Conversion Request"), together, if the Securities are in certificated form,
with such certificates. The Conversion Request shall (i) set forth the number of
Securities to be converted and the name or names, if other than the Holder, in
which the [other securities] should be issued and (ii) direct the Conversion
Agent (a) to exchange such Securities for a portion of the Debentures held by
the Trust (at the rate of exchange specified in the preceding paragraph) and (b)
to immediately convert such Debentures on behalf of such Holder into [other
securities] (at the conversion rate specified in the preceding paragraph). The
Conversion Agent shall notify the Trust of the Holder's election to exchange
Securities for a portion of the Debentures held by the Trust (a "Notice of
Conversion") and the Trust shall, upon receipt of such notice, deliver to the
Conversion Agent the appropriate principal amount of Debentures for exchange in
accordance with this Section. The Conversion Agent shall thereupon notify the
Sponsor of the Holder's election to convert such Debentures into [other
securities]. Holders at the close of business on a Distribution record date will
be entitled to receive the [Distribution payable on such Securities on the
corresponding Distribution payment date notwithstanding the conversion of such
Securities following such record date but prior to such distribution payment
date. Except as provided above, neither the Trust nor the Sponsor will make, or
be required to make, any payment, allowance or adjustment upon any conversion on
account of any accumulated and unpaid Distributions accrued on the Securities
surrendered for conversion, or on account of any accumulated and unpaid
dividends on the [other securities] issued upon such conversion.] Securities
shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of
business on the day on which a Notice of Conversion relating to such Securities
is received by the Trust in accordance with the foregoing provision (the
"Conversion Date"). The Person or Persons entitled to receive [other securities]
issuable upon conversion of the Debentures shall be treated for all purposes as
the record holder or holders of such [other securities] at such time. As
promptly as practicable on or after the Conversion Date, the Sponsor shall issue
and deliver at the office of the Conversion Agent a certificate or certificates
for the number of full [other securities] issuable upon such conversion,
together with the cash payment, if any, in lieu of any fraction of any share to
the Person or Persons entitled to receive the same, unless otherwise directed by
the Holder in the Notice of Conversion and the Conversion Agent shall distribute
such certificate or certificates to such Person or Persons.

         (c) Each Holder of a Security by his acceptance thereof appoints the
Property Trustee as "Conversion Agent" for the purpose of effecting the
conversion or exchange of Securities in accordance with this Section. In
effecting the conversion or exchange and transactions described in this Section,
the Conversion Agent shall be acting as agent of the Holders directing it to
effect such conversion or exchange transactions. The Conversion Agent is hereby
authorized (i) to exchange Securities from time to time for Debentures held by
the Trust in connection with the conversion or exchange of such Securities in
accordance with this Section and (ii) to convert all or a portion of the
Debentures into [other securities] and thereupon to

                                   Annex I-7

<PAGE>

deliver such [other securities] in accordance with the provisions of this
Section and to deliver to the Trust a new Debenture or Debentures for any
resulting unconverted principal amount.

         (d) No fractional [other securities] will be issued as a result of
conversion or exchange, but in lieu thereof, such fractional interest will be
paid in cash by the Sponsor to the Conversion Agent, which in turn will make
such payment to the Holder or Holders so converted.

         (e) The Sponsor shall at all times reserve and keep available out of
its authorized and unissued [other securities], solely for issuance upon the
conversion or exchange of the Debentures, free from any preemptive or other
similar rights, such number of [other securities] as shall from time to time be
issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all the Debentures then outstanding.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sponsor shall be entitled to deliver upon
conversion or exchange of Debentures, [other securities] reacquired and held in
the treasury of the Sponsor (in lieu of the issuance of authorized and unissued
[other securities]), so long as any such treasury shares are free and clear of
all liens, charges, security interests or encumbrances. Any [other securities]
issued upon conversion or exchange of the Debentures shall be duly authorized,
validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable. The Trust shall deliver the
[other securities] received upon conversion or exchange of the Debentures to the
converting Holder free and clear of all liens, charges, security interests and
encumbrances, except for United States withholding taxes. Each of the Sponsor
and the Trust shall prepare and shall use its best efforts to obtain and keep in
force such governmental or regulatory permits or other authorizations as may be
required by law, and shall comply with all applicable requirements as to
registration or qualification of [other securities], in order to enable the
Sponsor to lawfully issue [other securities] to the Trust upon conversion or
exchange of the Debentures and the Trust to lawfully deliver [other securities]
to each Holder upon conversion or exchange of the Securities.

         (f) The Sponsor will pay any and all taxes that may be payable in
respect of the issue or delivery of the [other securities] on conversion or
exchange of Debentures and the delivery of the [other securities] by the Trust
upon conversion or exchange of the Securities. The Sponsor shall not, however,
be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer
involved in the issue and delivery of the [other securities] in a name other
than that in which the Securities so converted were registered, and no such
issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such
issue has paid to the Trust the amount of any such tax, or has established to
the satisfaction of the Trust that such tax has been paid.

         (g) Nothing in the preceding paragraph (f) shall limit the requirement
of the Trust to withhold taxes pursuant to the terms of the Securities or set
forth in this Annex I to the Declaration or to the Declaration itself or
otherwise require the Property Trustee or the Trust to pay any amounts on
account of such withholdings.]

     6.  Voting Rights - Preferred Securities.
         ------------------------------------

         (a) Except as provided under Sections 6(b) and 8 and as otherwise
required by law and the Declaration, the Holders of the Preferred Securities
will have no voting rights.

         (b) Subject to the requirements set forth in this paragraph, the
Holders of a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities, voting
separately as a class may (or,

                                   Annex I-8

<PAGE>

to the extent permitted by the Indenture, may direct the Trustees (including the
Property Trustee as the holder of the Debentures) to), and the Trustees shall
not without obtaining the prior approval of the Holders of a Majority in
Liquidation Amount of all outstanding Preferred Securities, (i) direct the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Debenture Trustee, or executing any trust or power conferred on such Debenture
Trustee with respect to the Debentures, (ii) waive any past default that is
waivable under Section 5.07 of the Indenture, (iii) exercise any right to
rescind or annul a declaration of acceleration of the maturity of the principal
of the Debentures or (iv) consent to any amendment, modification or termination
of the Indenture or the Debentures, where such consent shall be required,
without, in each case, obtaining the prior approval of the Holders of a Majority
in Liquidation Amount of all outstanding Preferred Securities; provided, that
where a consent or other action under the Indenture with respect to the
Debentures would require the consent or act of holders of all outstanding
Debentures, no consent or act shall be given or taken except by the Holders of
all outstanding Preferred Securities. The Trustees (including the Property
Trustee as the holder of the Debentures) shall not revoke any action previously
authorized or approved by a vote of the Holders of the Preferred Securities
except by subsequent vote of such Holders. Subject to Section 2.7 of the
Declaration, the Property Trustee shall notify each Holder of Preferred
Securities of any notice of default with respect to the Debentures. In addition
to obtaining the foregoing approvals of such Holders of the Preferred
Securities, prior to taking any of the foregoing actions, the Trustees shall
obtain an Opinion of Counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that the
Trust will not be classified as an association taxable as a corporation for
United States federal income tax purposes on account of such action.

     If an Event of Default under the Declaration has occurred and is continuing
and such event is attributable to the failure of the Debenture Issuer to pay
principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Debentures on any due date
(including any Interest Payment Date or redemption date or the Maturity Date),
then a Holder of Preferred Securities may directly institute a legal proceeding
against the Debenture Issuer for enforcement of payment to such Holder of the
principal of or premium, if any, or interest on a Like Amount of Debentures (a
"Direct Action") on or after the respective due date specified in the
Debentures. In connection with such Direct Action, the Holders of the Common
Securities will be subrogated to the rights of such Holder of Preferred
Securities to the extent of any payment made by the Debenture Issuer to such
Holder of Preferred Securities in such Direct Action. Except as provided in this
Section 6(b), the Holders of Preferred Securities will not be able to exercise
directly any other remedy available to the holders of the Debentures.

     Any approval or direction of Holders of Preferred Securities may be given
at a separate meeting of Holders of Preferred Securities convened for such
purpose, at a meeting of all of the Holders of Preferred Securities or pursuant
to written consent. The Property Trustee will cause a notice of any meeting at
which Holders of Preferred Securities are entitled to vote to be mailed to each
Holder of record of Preferred Securities. Each such notice will include a
statement setting forth (i) the date of such meeting, (ii) a description of any
resolution proposed for adoption at such meeting on which such Holders are
entitled to vote and (iii) instructions for the delivery of proxies.

                                   Annex I-9

<PAGE>

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

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

     7.  Voting Rights - Common Securities.
         ---------------------------------

         (a) Except as provided under Sections 7(b), 7(c), and 8 or as otherwise
required by law and the Declaration, the Holders of the Common Securities will
have no voting rights.

         (b) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
any Trustee may be removed at any time by the Holder of the Common Securities.
If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Property Trustee and
the Delaware Trustee may only be removed at such time by the Holders of a
Majority in Liquidation Amount of the outstanding Preferred Securities. In no
event will the Holders of the Preferred Securities have the right to vote to
appoint, remove or replace the Administrative Trustees, which voting rights are
vested exclusively in the Sponsor as the Holder of the Common Securities. No
resignation or removal of a Trustee and no appointment of a successor trustee
shall be effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee
in accordance with the provisions of the Declaration.

         (c) Subject to Section 2.6 of the Declaration and only after the Event
of Default with respect to the Preferred Securities has been cured, waived, or
otherwise eliminated and subject to the requirements of the second to last
sentence of this paragraph, the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of
the Common Securities, voting separately as a class, may (or, to the extent
permitted by the Indenture, may direct the Trustees (including the Property
Trustee as the holder of the Debentures) to, and the Trustees will not, without
obtaining the prior approval of Holders of a Majority in Liquidation Amount of
all outstanding Common Securities (i) direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Debenture Trustee, or
executing any trust or power conferred on such Debenture Trustee with respect to
the Debentures, (ii) waive any past default that is waivable under Section 5.07
of the Indenture, (iii) exercise any right to rescind or annul a declaration of
acceleration of the maturity of the principal of the Debentures or (iv) consent
to any amendment, modification or termination of the Indenture or the
Debentures, where such consent shall be required, without, in each case,
obtaining the prior approval of the Holders of a Majority in Liquidation Amount
of all outstanding Common Securities; provided, that where a consent or other
action under the Indenture with respect to the Debentures would require the
consent or act of holders of all outstanding Debentures no consent or act shall
be given or taken except by the Holders of all outstanding Common Securities.
The Trustees (including the Property Trustee as the holder of the Debentures)
shall not revoke any action previously authorized or approved by a vote of the
Holders of the Common Securities except by subsequent vote of such Holders.
Subject to Section 2.7 of the Declaration the Property Trustee shall notify each
Holder of Common Securities of any notice of default with respect to the
Debentures. In addition to obtaining the

                                   Annex I-10

<PAGE>

foregoing approvals of such Holders of the Common Securities, prior to taking
any of the foregoing actions, the Trustees shall obtain an Opinion of Counsel
experienced in such matters to the effect that the Trust will not be classified
as an association taxable as a corporation for United States federal income tax
purposes on account of such action.

     If an Event of Default under the Declaration has occurred and is continuing
and such event is attributable to the failure of the Debenture Issuer to pay
principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Debentures on the due date
(including any Interest Payment Date or redemption date or the Maturity Date),
then a Holder of Common Securities may institute a Direct Action for enforcement
of payment to such Holder of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on
a Like Amount of Debentures on or after the respective due date specified in the
Debentures. Except as provided in this paragraph, the Holders of Common
Securities will not be able to exercise directly any other remedy available to
the holders of the Debentures.

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

     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.

     8.  Amendments to Declaration.
         -------------------------

     In addition to the circumstances and requirements set out in Section 12.1
of the Declaration, the Declaration may be amended by the Administrative
Trustees and the Sponsor with (i) the consent of Holders representing a Majority
in Liquidation Amount of all outstanding Securities, and (ii) receipt by the
Trustees of an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment or the
exercise of any power granted to the Trustees in accordance with such amendment
will not affect the Trust's status as a grantor trust for United States federal
income tax purposes or the Trust's exemption from status as an investment
company under the Investment Company Act, provided that, without the consent of
each Holder, the Declaration may not be amended to (i) change the amount or
timing of any Distribution on the Securities or otherwise adversely affect the
amount of any Distribution required to be made in respect of the Securities as
of a specified date or (ii) restrict the right of a Holder to institute suit for
the enforcement of any such payment on or after such date.

     9.  Pro Rata.

Event of Default under the Declaration has occurred and is continuing, in which
case any funds available to make such payment shall be paid first to each Holder

aggregate Liquidation Amount of all Preferred Securities outstanding, and only
after satisfaction of all amounts owed to the Holders of the Preferred
Securities, to each Holder of Common Securities pro rata according to the
aggregate Liquidation Amount of Common Securities held by the relevant Holder
relative to the aggregate Liquidation Amount of all Common Securities
outstanding.

     10.   Ranking.

payment thereon shall be made Pro Rata with the Common Securities, except that,
if an Event of Default under the Declaration occurs and is continuing, no
payments in respect of Distributions on, or payments upon liquidation,
redemption or otherwise with respect to, the Common Securities shall be made
until the Holders of the Preferred Securities shall be paid in full the
Distributions, Redemption Price, Liquidation Distribution and other payments to
which they are entitled at such time.

     11.   Acceptance of Preferred Securities Guarantee and Indenture.
           ----------------------------------------------------------

<PAGE>

                          [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]

     Distributions payable on each Preferred Security will be fixed at a rate
per annum of [ ]% (the "Coupon Rate") of the Liquidation Amount of $_____ per
Preferred Security, such rate being the rate of interest payable on the
Debentures to be held by the Property Trustee. Distributions in arrears for more
than one [semi-annual period] will bear interest thereon compounded
[semi-annually] at the Coupon Rate (to the extent permitted by applicable law).
The term "Distributions", as used herein, includes such cash distributions and
any such interest payable unless otherwise stated. A Distribution is payable
only to the extent that payments are made in respect of the Debentures held by
the Property Trustee and to the extent the Property Trustee has funds on hand
legally available therefor.

     Distributions on the Preferred Securities will be cumulative, will
accumulate from and including the most recent date to which Distributions have
been paid or, if no Distributions have been paid, from and including [ ], [ ] to
but excluding the related Distribution Date or any date fixed for redemption,
and will be payable [semi-annually] in arrears on [ ] and [ ] of each year,
commencing on [ ], [ ], except as otherwise described below and in the
Declaration. Distributions will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months and, for any period of less than a full
calendar month, the number of days elapsed in such month.

     [As long as no Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) has occurred
and is continuing, the Debenture Issuer has the right under the Indenture to
defer the payment of interest on the Debentures at any time and from time to
time for a period not exceeding [____] consecutive calendar [semi-annual]
periods, including the first such [semi-annual period] during such extension
period (each, an "Extension Period"), provided that no Extension Period shall
extend beyond the Maturity Date of the Debentures. Distributions will be
deferred during any Extension Period. Notwithstanding such deferral,
[semi-annual] Distributions will continue to accumulate with interest thereon
(to the extent permitted by applicable law, but not at a rate exceeding the rate
of interest then accruing on the Debentures) at the Coupon Rate compounded
[semi-annually] during any Extension Period. Prior to the termination of any
Extension Period, the Debenture Issuer may further defer payments of interest by
further extending such Extension Period; provided that such Extension Period,
together with all previous and further extensions, if any, within such Extension
Period, may not exceed [____] consecutive [semi-annual] periods, including the
first semi-annual period during such Extension Period, or extend beyond the
Maturity Date of the Debentures. [Payments of Distributions that have
accumulated but not been paid during any Extension Period will be payable to
Holders as they appear on the books and records of the Trust on the record date
for the first scheduled Distribution payment date following the expiration of
such Extension Period and prior to the commencement of any new Extension Period.
Upon the expiration of any Extension Period and the payment of all amounts then
due, the Debenture Issuer may commence a new Extension Period, subject to the
above requirements.]

     [Subject to the conditions set forth in the Declaration and the Indenture,
the Property Trustee shall, at the direction of the Sponsor, at any time
dissolve the Trust and, upon satisfaction of the liabilities to creditors of the
Trust as provided by law, cause the Debentures to be distributed to the holders
of the Securities in liquidation of the Trust [or, simultaneously with

                          [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]

         Distributions payable on each Common Security will be fixed at a rate
per annum of [ ]% (the "Coupon Rate") of the Liquidation Amount of $______ per
Common Security, such rate being the rate of interest payable on the Debentures
to be held by the Property Trustee. Distributions in arrears for more than one
[semi-annual] period will bear interest thereon compounded semiannually at the
Coupon Rate (to the extent permitted by applicable law). The term
"Distributions", as used herein, includes such cash distributions and any such
interest payable unless otherwise stated. A Distribution is payable only to the
extent that payments are made in respect of the Debentures held by the Property
Trustee and to the extent the Property Trustee has funds available therefor.

         Distributions on the Common Securities will be cumulative, will
accumulate from and including the most recent date to which Distributions have
been paid or, if no Distributions have been paid, from and including [_____],
[___] to but excluding the related Distribution Date or any date fixed for
redemption, and will be payable [semi-annually] in arrears on [________] and
[_____] of each year, commencing on [________], [___], except as otherwise
described below and in the Declaration. Distributions will be computed on the
basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30 day months and, for any period
of less than a full calendar month, the number of days elapsed in such month.

         [As long as no Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) has
occurred and is continuing, the Debenture Issuer has the right under the
Indenture to defer the payment of interest on the Debenture at any time and from
time for a period not exceeding [___] consecutive calendar [semi-annual]
periods, including the first such semi-annual period during such extension
period (each an "Extension Period"), provided, that no Extension Period shall
extend beyond the Maturity Date of the Debentures. Distributions will be
deferred during any Extension Period. Notwithstanding such deferral,
Distributions will continue to accumulate with interest thereon (to the extent
permitted by applicable law, but not at a rate exceeding the rate of interest
then accruing on the Debentures) at the Coupon Rate compounded [semi-annually]
during any Extension Period. Prior to the termination of any Extension Period,
the Debenture Issuer may further defer payments of interest by further extending
such Extension Period; provided, that such Extension Period, together with all
previous and further extensions, if any, within such Extension Period, may not
exceed [___] consecutive [semi-annual] periods, including the first semi-annual
period during such Extension Period, or extend beyond the Maturity Date of the
Debentures. [Payments of Distributions that have accumulated but not been paid
during any Extension Period will be payable to Holders as they appear on the
books and records of the Trust on the record date for the first Distribution
Date following the expiration of such Extension Period. Upon the expiration of
any Extension Period and the payment of all amounts then due, the Debenture
Issuer may commence a new Extension Period, subject to the above requirements.]

         [Subject to the conditions set forth in the Declaration and the
Indenture, the Property Trustee shall, at the direction of the Sponsor, at any
time dissolve the Trust and, upon satisfaction of the liabilities to creditors
of the Trust as provided by law, cause the Debentures to be distributed to the
holders of the Securities in liquidation of the Trust [or, simultaneously with
any redemption of the Debentures, cause a Like Amount of the Securities to be
redeemed by the Trust.]
