         of the effect of any such action on any particular Securityholder).

         C. So long as this Trust Agreement remains in effect, the Trust (or the
Trustees acting on behalf of the Trust) shall not undertake any business,
activities or transaction except as expressly provided herein or contemplated
hereby. In particular, the Trustees shall not (i) acquire any investments or
engage in any activities not authorized by this Trust Agreement, (ii) sell,
assign, transfer, exchange, pledge, set-off or otherwise dispose of any of the
Trust Property or interests therein, including to Securityholders, except as
expressly provided herein, (iii) take any action that would cause the Trust to
fail or cease to qualify as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax
purposes, (iv) incur any indebtedness for borrowed money, (v) take or consent to
any action that would result in the placement of a Lien on any of the Trust
Property, (vi) issue any securities other than the Trust Securities, or (vii)
have any power to, or agree to any action by the Depositor that would, vary the
investment (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-4(c)) of
the Trust or of the Securityholders. The Trustees shall defend all claims and
demands of all Persons at any time claiming any Lien on any of the Trust
Property adverse to the interest of the Trust or the Securityholders in their
capacity as Securityholders.

         D. In connection with the issue and sale of the Preferred Securities,
the Depositor shall have the right and responsibility to assist the Trust with
respect to, or effect on behalf of the Trust, the following (and any actions
taken by the Depositor in furtherance of the following prior to the date of this
Trust Agreement are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects):

                  (i) to prepare for filing by the Trust with the Commission a
         registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933, as
         amended, in relation to the Preferred Securities, including any
         amendments thereto;

                  (ii) to determine the states in which to take appropriate
         action to qualify or register for sale all or part of the Preferred
         Securities and to do any and all such acts, other than actions which
         must be taken by or on behalf of the Trust, and advise the Trustees of
         actions they must take on behalf of the Trust, and prepare for
         execution and filing any documents to be executed and filed by the
         Trust or on behalf of the Trust, as the Depositor deems necessary or
         advisable in order to comply with the applicable laws of any such
         States;

                  (iii) to prepare for filing by the Trust an application to the
         New York Stock Exchange or any other national stock exchange or the
         NASDAQ National Market for listing upon notice of issuance of any
         Preferred Securities;

                  (iv) to prepare for filing by the Trust with the Commission a
         registration statement on Form 8-A relating to the registration of the
         Preferred Securities under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, including
         any amendments thereto;

                  (v) to negotiate the terms of the Underwriting Agreement
         providing for the sale of the Preferred Securities and to execute,
         deliver and perform the Underwriting Agreement on behalf of the Trust;
         and

                  (vi) any other actions necessary, incidental, appropriate or
         convenient to carry out any of the foregoing activities.

         E. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative
Trustees are authorized and directed to conduct the affairs of the Trust and to
operate the Trust so that the Trust will not be deemed to be an "investment
company" required to be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, or taxed as other than a grantor trust for United States federal income
tax purposes and so that the Junior Subordinated Notes will be treated as
indebtedness of the Depositor for United States federal income tax purposes. In
this connection, the Depositor and the Administrative Trustees are authorized to
take any action, not inconsistent with applicable law, the Certificate of Trust
or this Trust Agreement, that each of the Depositor and the Administrative
Trustees determines in its discretion to be necessary or desirable for such
purposes, as long as such action does not materially and adversely affect the
interests of the Holders of the Preferred Securities.

         Section 2.08 Assets of Trust. The assets of the Trust shall consist of
the Trust Property.

         Section 2.09 Title to Trust Property. Legal title to all Trust Property
shall be vested at all times in the Property Trustee (in its capacity as such)
and shall be held and administered by the Property Trustee for the benefit of
the Securityholders and the Trust in accordance with this Trust Agreement. The
right, title and interest of the Property Trustee to the Junior Subordinated
Notes shall vest automatically in each Person who may thereafter be appointed as
Property Trustee in accordance with the terms hereof. Such vesting and cessation
of title shall be effective whether or not conveyancing documents have been
executed and delivered.

         Section 2.10 Mergers and Consolidations of the Trust. The Trust may not
consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or be replaced by, or convey,
transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any
corporation or other body, except as described below or otherwise provided in
this Trust Agreement. The Trust may at the request of the Company, with the
consent of the Administrative Trustees and without the consent of the Holders of
the Trust Securities, consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or be
replaced by a trust organized as such under the laws of any state; provided,
that (i) such successor entity either (x) expressly assumes all of the
obligations of the Trust with respect to the Trust Securities or (y) substitutes
for the Preferred Securities other securities having substantially the same
terms as the Trust Securities (herein referred to as the "Successor Securities")
so long as the Successor Securities rank the same as the Trust Securities rank
in priority with respect to Distributions and payments upon liquidation,
redemption and otherwise, (ii) the Company expressly appoints a trustee of such
successor entity possessing the same powers and duties as the Property Trustee
as the holder of legal title to the Junior Subordinated Notes, (iii) the
Preferred Securities or any Successor Securities are listed, or any Successor
Securities will be listed upon notification of issuance, on any national
securities exchange or other organization on which the Preferred Securities are
then listed, (iv) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement does
not cause the Preferred Securities (including any Successor Securities) to be
downgraded by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, (v)
such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement does not adversely
affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the Holders of the Trust
Securities (including any Successor Securities) in any material respect, (vi)
such successor entity has a purpose substantially identical to that of the
Trust, (vii) prior to such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, or replacement,
the Company has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (A) such
merger, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement does not adversely affect the
rights, preferences and privileges of the Holders of the Trust Securities
(including any Successor Securities) in any material respect, and (B) following
such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement, neither the Trust nor
such successor entity will be required to register as an investment company
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and (viii) the Company guarantees the
obligations of such successor entity under the Successor Securities at least to
the extent provided by the Guarantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trust
shall not, except with the consent of Holders of 100% in Liquidation Amount of
the Trust Securities, consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or be
replaced by any other entity or permit any other entity to consolidate,
amalgamate, merge with or into, or replace it if such consolidation,
amalgamation, merger or replacement would cause the Trust or the successor
entity to be classified as other than a grantor trust for federal income tax
purposes.


                                   ARTICLE III

                                 Payment Account

         Section 3.01      Payment Account.

         (a) On or prior to the Issue Date, the Property Trustee shall establish
the Payment Account. The Property Trustee and an agent of the Property Trustee
shall have exclusive control and sole right of withdrawal with respect to the
Payment Account for the purpose of making deposits in and withdrawals from the
Payment Account in accordance with this Trust Agreement. All monies and other
property deposited or held from time to time in the Payment Account shall be
held by the Property Trustee in the Payment Account for the exclusive benefit of
the Securityholders and for distribution as herein provided, including (and
subject to) any priority of payments provided for herein.

         (b) The Property Trustee shall deposit in the Payment Account, promptly
upon receipt, all payments of principal or interest on, and any other payments
or proceeds with respect to, the Junior Subordinated Notes. Amounts held in the
Payment Account shall not be invested by the Property Trustee pending
distribution thereof.


                                   ARTICLE IV

                            Distributions; Redemption

         Section 4.01      Distributions.

         (a) Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be cumulative and
accrue from the Issue Date and, except in the event that the Depositor exercises
its right to extend the interest payment period for the Junior Subordinated
Notes pursuant to Section 104 of the Supplemental Indenture, shall be payable
quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each
year, commencing on _____ __, 20__. If any date on which Distributions are
otherwise payable on the Trust Securities is not a Business Day, then the
payment of such Distribution shall be made on the next succeeding day which 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, payment of such Distribution shall be made on the immediately preceding
Business Day, in each case, with the same force and effect as if made on such
date (each such date, a "Distribution Date").

         (b) Distributions payable on the Trust Securities shall be fixed at a
rate of ___% per annum of the Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities. The
amount of Distributions payable for any full quarterly period shall be computed
on the basis of twelve 30-day months and a 360-day year. If the interest payment
period for the Junior Subordinated Notes is extended pursuant to Section 104 of
the Supplemental Indenture (an "Extension Period"), then the rate per annum at
which Distributions on the Trust Securities accumulate shall be increased by an
amount such that the aggregate amount of Distributions that accumulate on all
Trust Securities during any such Extension Period is equal to the aggregate
amount of interest (including interest payable on unpaid interest at the
percentage rate per annum set forth above, compounded quarterly) that accrues
during any such Extension Period on the Junior Subordinated Notes. The payment
of such deferred interest, together with interest thereon, will be distributed
to the Holders of the Trust Securities as received at the end of any Extension
Period. The amount of Distributions payable for any period shall include the
Additional Amounts, if any.

         (c) Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be made and shall be
deemed payable on each Distribution Date only to the extent that the Trust has
legally and immediately available funds in the Payment Account for the payment
of such Distributions.

         (d) Distributions, including Additional Amounts, if any, on the Trust
Securities on each Distribution Date shall be payable to the Holders thereof as
they appear on the Securities Register for the Trust Securities on the relevant
record date, which shall be the close of business on the fifteenth calendar day
prior to the relevant Distribution Date.

         Each Trust Security upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for
or in lieu of any other Trust Security shall carry the rights of Distributions
accrued (including Additional Amounts, if any) and unpaid, and to accrue
(including Additional Amounts, if any), which were carried by such other Trust
Security.

         Section 4.02      Redemption.

         (a) On each Redemption Date with respect to the Junior Subordinated
Notes, the Trust will be required to redeem a Like Amount of Trust Securities at
the Redemption Price.

         (b) Notice of redemption shall be given by the Property Trustee by
first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days
prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Trust Securities to be redeemed,
at such Holder's address appearing in the Securities Register. All notices of
redemption shall state:

                  (i)      the Redemption Date;

                  (ii) the Redemption Price;

                  (iii) the CUSIP number;

                  (iv) if less than all the Outstanding Trust Securities are to
         be redeemed, the total Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities to be
         redeemed; and

                  (v) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will
         become due and payable upon each such Trust Security to be redeemed and
         that Distributions thereon will cease to accrue on and after such date.

         (c) The Trust Securities redeemed on each Redemption Date shall be
redeemed at the Redemption Price with the proceeds from the contemporaneous
redemption of Junior Subordinated Notes. Redemptions of the Trust Securities
shall be made and the Redemption Price shall be deemed payable on each
Redemption Date only to the extent that the Trust has funds legally and
immediately available in the Payment Account for the payment of such Redemption
Price.

         (d) If the Property Trustee gives a notice of redemption in respect of
any Preferred Securities, then, by 2:00 p.m. New York time, on the Redemption
Date, subject to Section 4.02(c), the Property Trustee will, so long as the
Preferred Securities are in book-entry only form, irrevocably deposit with the
Clearing Agency for the Preferred Securities funds sufficient to pay the
applicable Redemption Price. If the Preferred Securities are no longer in
book-entry only form, the Property Trustee, subject to Section 4.02(c), shall
irrevocably deposit with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to pay the applicable
Redemption Price and will give the Paying Agent irrevocable instructions to pay
the Redemption Price to the Holders thereof upon surrender of their Preferred
Securities Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Distributions payable on
or prior to the Redemption Date for any Trust Securities called for redemption
shall be payable to the Holders of such Trust Securities as they appear on the
Securities Register for the Trust Securities on the relevant record dates for
the related Distribution Dates. If notice of redemption shall have been given
and funds deposited as required, then upon the date of such deposit, all rights
of Securityholders holding Trust Securities so called for redemption will cease,
except the right of such Securityholders to receive the Redemption Price, but
without interest, and such Securities will cease to be outstanding. In the event
that any date on which any Redemption Price is payable is not a Business Day,
then payment of the Redemption Price payable on such date shall be made on the
next succeeding day which 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, payment of such Redemption Price shall be
made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case, with the same
force and effect as if made on such date. In the event that payment of the
Redemption Price in respect of Trust Securities is improperly withheld or
refused and not paid either by the Trust or by the Depositor pursuant to the
Guarantee, Distributions on such Trust Securities will continue to accrue at the
then applicable rate, from such Redemption Date originally established by the
Trust for such Preferred Securities to the date such Redemption Price is
actually paid.

         (e) Payment of the Redemption Price on the Trust Securities shall be
made to the recordholders thereof as they appear on the Securities Register for
the Trust Securities on the relevant record date, which shall be the close of
business on the fifteenth calendar day prior to the Redemption date.

         (f) If less than all the Outstanding Trust Securities are to be
redeemed on a Redemption Date, then the aggregate Liquidation Amount of Trust
Securities to be redeemed shall be allocated 3% to the Common Securities and 97%
to the Preferred Securities, with such adjustments that each amount so allocated
shall be divisible by $25. The particular Preferred Securities to be redeemed
shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the
Property Trustee from the Outstanding Preferred Securities not previously called
for redemption, by such method as the Property Trustee shall deem fair and
appropriate and which may provide for the selection for a redemption of portions
(equal to $25 or integral multiple thereof) of the Liquidation Amount of
Preferred Securities of a denomination larger than $25; provided, however, that
before undertaking redemption of the Preferred Securities on other than a pro
rata basis, the Property Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel that
the status of the Trust as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes would
not be adversely affected. The Property Trustee shall promptly notify the
Securities Registrar in writing of the Preferred Securities selected for
redemption and, in the case of any Preferred Securities selected for partial
redemption, the Liquidation Amount thereof to be redeemed. For all purposes of
this Trust Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions
relating to the redemption of Preferred Securities shall relate, in the case of
any Preferred Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion
of the Liquidation Amount of Preferred Securities which has been or is to be
redeemed.

         (g) Subject to the foregoing provisions of Section 4.02 and to
applicable law (including, without limitation, United States federal securities
laws), the Company or 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.

         Section 4.03      Subordination of Common Securities.

         (a) Payment of Distributions (including Additional Amounts, if
applicable) on, and the Redemption Price of, the Trust Securities, as
applicable, shall be made pro rata based on the Liquidation Amount of the Trust
Securities; provided, however, that if on any Distribution Date or Redemption
Date an Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no
payment of any Distribution (including Additional Amounts, if applicable) on, or
Redemption Price of, any Common Security, and no other payment on account of the
redemption, liquidation or other acquisition of Common Securities, shall be made
unless payment in full in cash of all accumulated and unpaid Distributions
(including Additional Amounts, if applicable) on all Outstanding Preferred
Securities for all distribution periods terminating on or prior thereto, or in
the case of payment of the Redemption Price the full amount of such Redemption
Price on all Outstanding Preferred Securities, shall have been made or provided
for, and all funds immediately available to the Property Trustee shall first be
applied to the payment in full in cash of all Distributions (including
Additional Amounts, if applicable) on, or Redemption Price of, Preferred
Securities then due and payable.

         (b) In the case of the occurrence of any Indenture Event of Default,
the Holder of Common Securities will be deemed to have waived any such Event of
Default under this Trust Agreement until the effect of all such Events of
Default with respect to the Preferred Securities have been cured, waived or
otherwise eliminated. Until any such Events of Default under this Trust
Agreement with respect to the Preferred Securities have been so cured, waived or
otherwise eliminated, the Property Trustee shall act solely on behalf of the
Holders of the Preferred Securities and not the Holder of the Common Securities,
and only the Holders of the Preferred Securities will have the right to direct
the Property Trustee to act on their behalf.

         Section 4.04 Payment Procedures. Payments in respect of the Preferred
Securities shall be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled
thereto as such address shall appear on the Securities Register or, if the
Preferred Securities are held by a Clearing Agency, such Distributions shall be
made to the Clearing Agency, which shall credit the relevant Persons' accounts
at such Clearing Agency on the applicable distribution dates. Payments in
respect of the Common Securities shall be made in such manner as shall be
mutually agreed between the Property Trustee and the Holder of the Common
Securities.

         Section 4.05 Tax Returns and Reports. The Administrative Trustee(s)
shall prepare (or cause to be prepared), at the Depositor's expense, and file
all United States federal, state and local tax and information returns and
reports required to be filed by or in respect of the Trust. The Administrative
Trustee(s) shall provide or cause to be provided on a timely basis to each
Holder any Internal Revenue Service form required to be so provided in respect
of the Trust Securities.


                                    ARTICLE V

                          Trust Securities Certificates

         Section 5.01 Initial Ownership. Upon the creation of the Trust by the
contribution by the Depositor pursuant to Section 2.03 and until the issuance of
the Trust Securities, and at any time during which no Trust Securities are
outstanding, the Depositor shall be the sole beneficial owner of the Trust.

         Section 5.02 The Trust Securities Certificates. Each of the Preferred
and Common Securities Certificates shall be issued in minimum denominations of
$25 and integral multiples in excess thereof. The Trust Securities Certificates
shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile signature of at
least one Administrative Trustee. Trust Securities Certificates bearing the
manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such
signatures shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trust,
shall be validly issued and entitled to the benefits of this Trust Agreement,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so
authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Trust Securities
Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of authentication and
delivery of such Trust Securities Certificates. A transferee of a Trust
Securities Certificate shall become a Securityholder, and shall be entitled to
the rights and subject to the obligations of a Securityholder hereunder, upon
due registration of such Trust Securities Certificate in such transferee's name
pursuant to Section 5.04.

         Section 5.03 Authentication of Trust Securities Certificates. On the
Issue Date, the Administrative Trustees shall cause Trust Securities
Certificates, in an aggregate Liquidation Amount as provided in Sections 2.04
and 2.05, to be executed on behalf of the Trust, authenticated and delivered to
or upon the written order of the Depositor signed by its Chairman of the Board,
its President or any Vice President, without further corporate action by the
Depositor, in authorized denominations. No Trust Securities Certificate shall
entitle its holder to any benefit under this Trust Agreement, or shall be valid
for any purpose, unless there shall appear on such Trust Securities Certificate
a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit E
or Exhibit C, as applicable, executed by at least one Administrative Trustee by
manual signature; such authentication shall constitute conclusive evidence that
such Trust Securities Certificate shall have been duly authenticated and
delivered hereunder. All Trust Securities Certificates shall be dated the date
of their authentication.

         Section 5.04 Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Preferred
Securities Certificates. The Securities Registrar shall keep or cause to be
kept, at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 5.08, a Securities
Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe,
the Securities Registrar shall provide for the registration of Preferred
Securities Certificates and the Common Securities Certificates (subject to
Section 5.10 in the case of the Common Securities Certificates) and registration
of transfers and exchanges of Preferred Securities Certificates as herein
provided. The Property Trustee shall be the initial Securities Registrar.

         Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Preferred Securities
Certificate at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 5.08, the
Administrative Trustees shall execute, authenticate and deliver in the name of
the designated transferee or transferees one or more new Preferred Securities
Certificates in authorized denominations of a like aggregate Liquidation Amount
dated the date of authentication by the Administrative Trustee or Trustees. The
Securities Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of any
Preferred Securities that have been called for redemption. At the option of a
Holder, Preferred Securities Certificates may be exchanged for other Preferred
Securities Certificates in authorized denominations of the same class and of a
like aggregate Liquidation Amount upon surrender of the Preferred Securities
Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency maintained pursuant to
Section 5.08.

         Every Preferred Securities Certificate presented or surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustees and the Securities
Registrar duly executed by the Holder or his attorney duly authorized in
writing. Each Preferred Securities Certificate surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange shall be cancelled and subsequently disposed of by the
Securities Registrar in accordance with its customary practice.

         No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Preferred Securities Certificates, but the Securities Registrar or
the Administrative Trustees may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer
or exchange of Preferred Securities Certificates.

         Section 5.05 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Trust Securities
Certificates. If (a) any mutilated Trust Securities Certificate shall be
surrendered to the Securities Registrar, or if the Securities Registrar shall
receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Trust Securities Certificate and (b) there shall be delivered to the Securities
Registrar and the Administrative Trustees such security or indemnity as may be
required by them to save each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice
that such Trust Securities Certificate shall have been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Administrative Trustees or any one of them on behalf of the Trust
shall execute and authenticate and make available for delivery, in exchange for
or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Trust Securities
Certificate, a new Trust Securities Certificate of like class, tenor and
denomination. In connection with the issuance of any new Trust Securities
Certificate under this Section, the Administrative Trustees or the Securities
Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. Any duplicate
Trust Securities Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute
conclusive evidence of an ownership interest in the Trust, as if originally
issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Trust Securities
Certificate shall be found at any time.

         Section 5.06 Persons Deemed Securityholders. Prior to due presentation
of a Trust Securities Certificate for registration of transfer, the Trustees or
the Securities Registrar shall treat the Person in whose name any Trust
Securities Certificate shall be registered in the Securities Register as the
owner of such Trust Securities Certificate for the purpose of receiving
Distributions (subject to Section 4.01(d)) and for all other purposes
whatsoever, and neither the Trustees nor the Securities Registrar shall be bound
by any notice to the contrary.

         Section 5.07 Access to List of Securityholders' Names and Addresses.
The Administrative Trustees shall furnish or cause to be furnished to (i) the
Depositor and the Property Trustee semi-annually, not later than June 1 and
December 1 in each year, and (ii) the Depositor or the Property Trustee, as the
case may be, within 15 days after receipt by any Administrative Trustee of a
request therefor from the Depositor or the Property Trustee, as the case may be,
in writing, a list, in such form as the Depositor or the Property Trustee, as
the case may be, may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the
Securityholders as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such list
is furnished. If three or more Securityholders or one or more Holders of Trust
Securities Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the outstanding
Liquidation Amount apply in writing to the Administrative Trustees, and such
application states that the applicants desire to communicate with other
Securityholders with respect to their rights under this Trust Agreement or under
the Trust Securities Certificates and such application is accompanied by a copy
of the communication that such applicants propose to transmit, then the
Administrative Trustees shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of
such application, afford such applicants access during normal business hours to
the current list of Securityholders. Each Holder, by receiving and holding a
Trust Securities Certificate, shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold either
the Depositor or the Administrative Trustees accountable by reason of the
disclosure of its name and address, regardless of the source from which such
information was derived.

         Section 5.08 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Administrative
Trustees shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, an office or
offices or agency or agencies where Preferred Securities Certificates may be
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and
demands to or upon the Trustees in respect of the Trust Securities Certificates
may be served. The Administrative Trustees initially designate JPMorgan Chase
Bank, N.A., 4 New York Plaza, 15th Floor, New York, New York 10004, as its
principal agency for such purposes. The Administrative Trustees shall give
prompt written notice to the Depositor and to the Securityholders of any change
in the location of the Securities Register or any such office or agency.

         Section 5.09 Appointment of Paying Agent. The Paying Agent shall make
Distributions and other payments provided hereby to Securityholders from the
Payment Account and shall report the amounts of such Distributions and payments
to the Property Trustee and the Administrative Trustees. Any Paying Agent shall
have the revocable power to withdraw funds from the Payment Account for the
purpose of making the Distributions and payments provided hereby. The
Administrative Trustees may revoke such power and remove the Paying Agent if
such Trustees determine in their sole discretion that the Paying Agent shall
have failed to perform its obligations under this Agreement in any material
respect. The Paying Agent shall initially be the Property Trustee, and it may
choose any co-paying agent that is acceptable to the Administrative Trustees and
the Depositor. Any Person acting as Paying Agent shall be permitted to resign as
Paying Agent upon 30 days' written notice to the Administrative Trustees and the
Depositor. In the event that a Paying Agent shall resign or be removed, the
Administrative Trustees shall appoint a successor that is acceptable to the
Depositor to act as Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company). The
Administrative Trustees shall cause such successor Paying Agent or any
additional Paying Agent appointed by the Administrative Trustees to execute and
deliver to the Trustees an instrument in which such successor Paying Agent or
additional Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustees that as Paying Agent, such
successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent will hold all sums, if any,
held by it for payment to the Securityholders in trust for the benefit of the
Securityholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such
Securityholders. The Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the
Property Trustee and upon removal of a Paying Agent such Paying Agent shall also
return all funds in its possession to the Property Trustee. The provisions of
Sections 8.01, 8.03 and 8.06 shall apply to the Property Trustee also in its
role as Paying Agent, for so long as the Property Trustee shall act as Paying
Agent and, to the extent applicable, to any other paying agent appointed
hereunder. Any reference in this Agreement to the Paying Agent shall include any
co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise.

         Section 5.10 Ownership of Common Securities by Depositor. On the Issue
Date, the Depositor shall acquire, and thereafter retain, beneficial and record
ownership of the Common Securities. Any attempted transfer of the Common
Securities, except for transfers by operation of law, shall be void. The
Administrative Trustees shall cause each Common Securities Certificate issued to
the Depositor to contain a legend stating "THIS CERTIFICATE IS NOT
TRANSFERABLE".

         Section 5.11 Book-Entry Preferred Securities Certificates; Common
Securities Certificate.

         (a) The Preferred Securities Certificates, upon original issuance, will
be issued in the form of a typewritten Preferred Securities Certificate or
Certificates representing Book-Entry Preferred Securities Certificates, to be
delivered to The Depository Trust Company, the initial Clearing Agency, by, or
on behalf of, the Trust. Such Preferred Securities Certificate or Certificates
shall initially be registered on the Securities Register in the name of Cede &
Co., the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency, and no Owner will receive a
definitive Preferred Securities Certificate representing such beneficial owner's
interest in such Preferred Securities, except as provided in Section 5.13.
Unless and until Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates have been issued
to Owners pursuant to Section 5.13:

                  (i) the provisions of this Section 5.11(a) shall be in full
force and effect;

                  (ii) the Securities Registrar and the Trustees shall be
         entitled to deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes of this
         Trust Agreement relating to the Book-Entry Preferred Securities
         Certificates (including the payment of principal of and interest on the
         Book-Entry Preferred Securities and the giving of instructions or
         directions to Owners of Book-Entry Preferred Securities) as the sole
         Holder of Book-Entry Preferred Securities and shall have no obligations
         to the Owners thereof;

                  (iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section
         conflict with any other provisions of this Trust Agreement, the
         provisions of this Section shall control; and

                  (iv) the rights of the Owners of the Book-Entry Preferred
         Securities Certificates shall be exercised only through the Clearing
         Agency and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements
         between such Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency
         Participants. Pursuant to the Certificate Depository Agreement, unless
         and until Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates are issued
         pursuant to Section 5.13, the Clearing Agency will make book-entry
         transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and
         transmit payments on the Preferred Securities to such Clearing Agency
         Participants.

         (b) A single Common Securities Certificate representing the Common
Securities shall be issued to the Depositor in the form of a definitive Common
Securities Certificate.

         Section 5.12 Notices to Clearing Agency. To the extent a notice or
other communication to the Owners is required under this Trust Agreement, unless
and until Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates shall have been issued to
Owners pursuant to Section 5.13, the Trustees shall give all such notices and
communications specified herein to be given to Owners to the Clearing Agency,
and shall have no obligations to the Owners.

         Section 5.13 Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates. If (i) the
Depositor advises the Trustees in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer
willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the
Preferred Securities Certificates, and the Depositor is unable to locate a
qualified successor, or (ii) the Depositor at its option advises the Trustees in
writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing
Agency, then the Administrative Trustees shall notify the Clearing Agency and
Holders of the Preferred Securities. Upon surrender to the Administrative
Trustees of the typewritten Preferred Securities Certificate or Certificates
representing the Book-Entry Preferred Securities Certificates by the Clearing
Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Administrative Trustees or
any one of them shall execute and authenticate the Definitive Preferred
Securities Certificates in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing
Agency. Neither the Securities Registrar nor the Trustees shall be liable for
any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and
shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of
Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates, the Trustees shall recognize the
Holders of the Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates as Securityholders.
The Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates shall be printed, lithographed
or engraved or may be produced in any other manner as is reasonably acceptable
to the Administrative Trustees, as evidenced by the execution thereof by the
Administrative Trustees or any one of them.

         Section 5.14 Rights of Securityholders. The legal title to the Trust
Property is vested exclusively in the Property Trustee (in its capacity as such)
in accordance with Section 2.09, and the Securityholders shall not have any
right or title therein other than the beneficial ownership interest in the
assets of the Trust conferred by their Trust Securities, and they shall have no
right to call for any partition or division of property, profits or rights of
the Trust except as described below. The Trust Securities shall be personal
property giving only the rights specifically set forth therein and in this Trust
Agreement. The Trust Securities shall have no preemptive or other similar rights
and when issued and delivered to Securityholders against payment of the purchase
price therefor, except as otherwise provided in the Expense Agreement and
Section 10.01 hereof, will be fully paid and nonassessable by the Trust. Except
as otherwise provided in the Expense Agreement and Section 10.01 hereof, the
Holders of the Trust Securities shall be entitled to the same limitation of
personal liability extended to stockholders of private corporations for profit
organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.


                                   ARTICLE VI

                    Acts of Securityholders; Meetings; Voting

         Section 6.01      Limitations on Voting Rights.

         (a) Except as provided in this Section, in Section 8.10 or Section
10.03 of this Trust Agreement, in the Subordinated Indenture, and as otherwise
required by law, no Holder of Preferred Securities shall have any right to vote
or in any manner otherwise control the administration, operation and management
of the Trust or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein
set forth, or contained in the terms of the Trust Securities Certificates, be
construed so as to constitute the Securityholders from time to time as partners
or members of an association.

         (b) So long as any Junior Subordinated Notes are held by the Property
Trustee, the Trustees shall not (i) direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee, or
executing any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee with respect to
such Junior Subordinated Notes, (ii) waive any past default which is waivable
under Section 513 of the Subordinated Indenture, (iii) exercise any right to
rescind or annul a declaration that the principal of all the Junior Subordinated
Notes shall be due and payable or (iv) consent to any amendment, modification or
termination of the Subordinated Indenture or the Junior Subordinated Notes,
where such consent shall be required, or to any other action, as holder of the
Junior Subordinated Notes, under the Subordinated Indenture, without, in each
case, obtaining the prior approval of the Holders of at least 66-2/3% in
Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities; provided, however, that where a
consent under the Subordinated Indenture would require the consent of each
holder of Junior Subordinated Notes affected thereby, no such consent shall be
given by the Trustees without the prior written consent of each Holder of
Preferred Securities. The Trustees shall not revoke any action previously
authorized or approved by a vote of the Holders of Preferred Securities, except
pursuant to a subsequent vote of the Holders of Preferred Securities. The
Property Trustee shall notify all Holders of the Preferred Securities of any
notice of default received from the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Junior
Subordinated Notes. In addition to obtaining the foregoing approvals of the
Holders of the Preferred Securities, prior to taking any of the foregoing
actions, the Trustees shall, at the expense of the Depositor, obtain an Opinion
of Counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that the Trust will not be
classified as other than a grantor trust for United States federal income tax
purposes on account of such action.

         (c) If any proposed amendment to this Trust Agreement provides for, or
the Trustees otherwise propose to effect, (i) any action that would adversely
affect the powers, preferences or special rights of the Preferred Securities,
whether by way of amendment to this Trust Agreement or otherwise, or (ii) the
dissolution, winding-up or termination of the Trust, other than pursuant to the
terms of this Trust Agreement, then the Holders of Outstanding Preferred
Securities as a class will be entitled to vote on such amendment or proposal and
such amendment or proposal shall not be effective except with the approval of
the Holders of at least 66-2/3% in Liquidation Amount of the Outstanding
Preferred Securities. In addition to obtaining the foregoing approvals of the
Holders of the Preferred Securities, prior to taking any of the foregoing
actions, the Trustees shall, at the expense of the Depositor, obtain an Opinion
of Counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that the Trust will not be
classified as other than a grantor trust for United States federal income tax
purposes on account of such action.

         Section 6.02 Notice of Meetings. Notice of all meetings of the
Preferred Securityholders, stating the time, place and purpose of the meeting,
shall be given by the Administrative Trustees pursuant to Section 10.08 to each
Preferred Securityholder of record, at his registered address, at least 15 days
and not more than 90 days before the meeting. At any such meeting, any business
properly before the meeting may be so considered whether or not stated in the
notice of the meeting. Any adjourned meeting may be held as adjourned without
further notice.

         Section 6.03 Meetings of Preferred Securityholders. No annual meeting
of Securityholders is required to be held. The Administrative Trustees, however,
shall call a meeting of Securityholders to vote on any matter upon the written
request of the Preferred Securityholders of record of 25% of the Preferred
Securities (based upon their Liquidation Amount) and the Administrative Trustees
or the Property Trustee may, at any time in their discretion, call a meeting of
Preferred Securityholders to vote on any matters as to which Preferred
Securityholders are entitled to vote.

         Preferred Securityholders of record of 50% of the Preferred Securities
(based upon their Liquidation Amount), present in person or by proxy, shall
constitute a quorum at any meeting of Securityholders.

         If a quorum is present at a meeting, an affirmative vote by the
Preferred Securityholders of record present, in person or by proxy, holding more
than 66-2/3% of the Preferred Securities (based upon their Liquidation Amount)
held by the Preferred Securityholders of record present, either in person or by
proxy, at such meeting shall constitute the action of the Securityholders,
unless this Trust Agreement requires a greater number of affirmative votes.

         Section 6.04 Voting Rights. Securityholders shall be entitled to one
vote for each $25 of Liquidation Amount represented by their Trust Securities in
respect of any matter as to which such Securityholders are entitled to vote.

         Section 6.05 Proxies, etc. At any meeting of Securityholders, any
Securityholder entitled to vote may vote by proxy, provided that no proxy shall
be voted at any meeting unless it shall have been placed on file with the
Administrative Trustees, or with such other officer or agent of the Trust as the
Administrative Trustees may direct, for verification prior to the time at which
such vote shall be taken. Pursuant to a resolution of the Property Trustee,
proxies may be solicited in the name of the Property Trustee or one or more
officers of the Property Trustee. Only Securityholders of record shall be
entitled to vote. When Trust Securities are held jointly by several Persons, any
one of them may vote at any meeting in person or by proxy in respect of such
Trust Securities, but if more than one of them shall be present at such meeting
in person or by proxy, and such joint owners or their proxies so present
disagree as to any vote to be cast, such vote shall not be received in respect
of such Trust Securities. A proxy purporting to be executed by or on behalf of a
Securityholder shall be deemed valid unless challenged at or prior to its
exercise, and the burden of proving invalidity shall rest on the challenger. No
proxy shall be valid more than three years after its date of execution.

         Section 6.06 Securityholder Action by Written Consent. Any action which
may be taken by Securityholders at a meeting may be taken without a meeting if
Securityholders holding at least 66-2/3% of all outstanding Trust Securities
entitled to vote in respect of such action (or such other proportion thereof as
shall be required by any express provision of this Trust Agreement) shall
consent to the action in writing (based upon their Liquidation Amount).

         Section 6.07 Record Date for Voting and Other Purposes. For the
purposes of determining the Securityholders who are entitled to notice of and to
vote at any meeting or by written consent, or to participate in any Distribution
on the Trust Securities in respect of which a record date is not otherwise
provided for in this Trust Agreement, or for the purpose of any other action,
the Administrative Trustees may from time to time fix a date, not more than 90
days prior to the date of any meeting of Securityholders or the payment of
Distribution or other action, as the case may be, as a record date for the
determination of the identity of the Securityholders of record for such
purposes.

         Section 6.08 Acts of Securityholders. Any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or
permitted by this Trust Agreement to be given, made or taken by Securityholders
may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially
similar tenor signed by such Securityholders in person or by an agent appointed
in writing; and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, such action
shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the
Administrative Trustees. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied
therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of
the Securityholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution
of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be
sufficient for any purpose of this Trust Agreement and (subject to Section 8.01)
conclusive in favor of the Trustees, if made in the manner provided in this
Section.

         The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument
or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a
certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take
acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument
or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by
a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such
certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his
authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing,
or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any
other manner which the Trustees deem sufficient.

         The ownership of Preferred Securities shall be proved by the Securities
Register.

         Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other Act of the Securityholder of any Trust Security shall bind every future
Securityholder of the same Trust Security and the Securityholder of every Trust
Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange
therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to
be done by the Trustees or the Trust in reliance thereon, whether or not
notation of such action is made upon such Trust Security.

         Without limiting the foregoing, a Securityholder entitled hereunder to
take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Trust Security may do so
with regard to all or any part of the Liquidation Amount of such Trust Security
or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such
appointment with regard to all or any part of such Liquidation Amount.

         If any dispute shall arise between the Securityholders of Trust
Securities and the Administrative Trustees or among such Securityholders or
Trustees with respect to the authenticity, validity or binding nature of any
request, demand, authorization, direction, consent, waiver or other Act of such
Securityholder or Trustee under this Article VI, then the determination of such
matter by the Property Trustee shall be conclusive with respect to such matter.

         Section 6.09 Inspection of Records. Upon reasonable notice to the
Trustees, the records of the Trust shall be open to inspection by
Securityholders during normal business hours for any purpose reasonably related
to such Securityholder's interest as a Securityholder.


                                   ARTICLE VII

                 Representations and Warranties of the Trustees

         Section 7.01 Representations and Warranties of the Trustees. The Bank,
the Delaware Bank, the Property Trustee and the Delaware Trustee, each on behalf
of and as to itself, hereby represents and warrants for the benefit of the
Depositor and the Securityholders that:

         (a) the Bank is either a national banking association or a banking
corporation or trust company duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the State of New York, and the Delaware Trustee is a
banking corporation or trust company duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware;

         (b) each of the Bank and the Delaware Bank has full corporate power,
authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform their obligations
under this Trust Agreement and has taken all necessary action to authorize the
execution, delivery and performance by it of this Trust Agreement;

         (c) this Trust Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by each of the Bank and the Delaware Bank and constitutes the valid
and legally binding agreement of each of the Bank and the Delaware Bank,
enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy,
insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of
general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general
equity principles;

         (d) the execution, delivery and performance by each of the Bank and the
Delaware Bank of this Trust Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action on the part of the Bank, the Property Trustee, the Delaware
Bank and the Delaware Trustee and do not require any approval of stockholders of

not (i) violate the Bank's or the Delaware Bank's Charter or By-laws, or (ii)
violate any law, governmental rule or regulation of the United States or the
State of New York or Delaware, as the case may be, governing the banking or
trust powers of the Bank and the Property Trustee or the Delaware Bank and the
Delaware Trustee, or any order, judgment or decree applicable to the Bank, the
Property Trustee, the Delaware Bank or the Delaware Trustee; and

         (e) neither the authorization, execution or delivery by the Bank or the
Delaware Bank of this Trust Agreement, nor the consummation of any of the
transactions by the Bank, the Property Trustee, the Delaware Bank or the
Delaware Trustee (as appropriate in context) contemplated herein or therein, nor
the issuance of the Trust Securities Certificates pursuant to this Trust
Agreement require the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the
registration with or the taking of any other action with respect to any
governmental authority or agency under any existing federal, New York or
Delaware law governing the banking or trust powers of the Bank or the Delaware
Bank.


                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                  The Trustees

         Section 8.01      Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

         (a) The rights, duties and responsibilities of the Trustees shall be as
provided by this Trust Agreement and, in the case of the Property Trustee, the
Trust Indenture Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Trust
Agreement shall require the Trustees to expend or risk their own funds or
otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of their
duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of their rights or powers, if they
shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or
adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to
them. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this
Trust Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or
affording protection to the Trustees shall be subject to the provisions of this
Section.

         (b) All payments made by the Property Trustee in respect of the Trust
Securities shall be made only from the income and proceeds from the Trust
Property and only to the extent that there shall be sufficient income or
proceeds from the Trust Property to enable the Property Trustee to make payments
in accordance with the terms hereof. Each Securityholder, by its acceptance of a
Trust Security, agrees that it will look solely to the income and proceeds from
the Trust Property to the extent available for distribution to it as herein
provided and that the Trustees are not personally liable to it for any amount
distributable in respect of any Trust Security or for any other liability in
respect of any Trust Security. This Section 8.01(b) does not limit the liability
of the Trustees expressly set forth elsewhere in this Trust Agreement or, in the
case of the Property Trustee, in the Trust Indenture Act.

         Section 8.02 Notice of Defaults. Within 90 days after the occurrence of
any default, the Property Trustee shall transmit, in the manner and to the
extent provided in Section 10.08, notice of any default known to the Property
Trustee to the Securityholders, the Administrative Trustees and the Depositor,
unless such default shall have been cured or waived. For the purpose of this
Section, the term "default" means any event which is, or after notice or lapse
of time or both would become, an Event of Default.

         Section 8.03 Certain Rights of Property Trustee. Subject to the
provisions of Section 8.01 and except as provided by law:

         (i)      the Property Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting
                  or refraining from acting in good faith upon any resolution,
                  Opinion of Counsel, certificate, written representation of a
                  Holder or transferee, certificate of auditors or any other
                  certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
                  request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or
                  document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed
                  or presented by the proper party or parties;

         (ii)     if (A) in performing its duties under this Trust Agreement the
                  Property Trustee is required to decide between alternative
                  courses of action, or (B) in construing any of the provisions
                  in this Trust Agreement the Property Trustee finds the same
                  ambiguous or inconsistent with any other provisions contained
                  herein, or (C) the Property Trustee is unsure of the
                  application of any provision of this Trust Agreement, then,
                  except as to any matter as to which the Preferred
                  Securityholders are entitled to vote under the terms of this
                  Trust Agreement, the Property Trustee shall deliver a notice
                  to the Depositor requesting written instructions of the
                  Depositor as to the course of action to be taken. The Property
                  Trustee shall take such action, or refrain from taking such
                  action, as the Property Trustee shall be instructed in writing
                  to take, or to refrain from taking, by the Depositor;
                  provided, however, that if the Property Trustee does not
                  receive such instructions of the Depositor within ten Business
                  Days after it has delivered such notice, or such reasonably
                  shorter period of time set forth in such notice (which to the
                  extent practicable shall not be less than two Business Days),
                  it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from
                  taking such action not inconsistent with this Trust Agreement
                  as it shall deem advisable and in the best interests of the
                  Securityholders, in which event the Property Trustee shall
                  have no liability except for its own bad faith, negligence or
                  willful misconduct;

         (iii)    the Property Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection
                  and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of
                  Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and
                  protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted
                  by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;

         (iv)     the Property Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise
                  any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Trust
                  Agreement at the request or direction of any of the
                  Securityholders pursuant to this Trust Agreement, unless such
                  Securityholders shall have offered to the Property Trustee
                  reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses
                  and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance
                  with such request or direction;

         (v)      the Property Trustee shall not be bound to make any
                  investigation into the facts or matters stated in any
                  resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion,
                  report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or
                  other document, unless requested in writing to do so by one or
                  more Securityholders; and

         (vi)     the Property Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
                  hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or
                  by or through its agents or attorneys, provided that the
                  Property Trustee shall be responsible for its own negligence
                  or recklessness with respect to selection of any agent or
                  attorney appointed by it hereunder.

         Section 8.04 Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities.
The recitals contained herein and in the Trust Securities Certificates shall be
taken as the statements of the Trust, and the Trustees do not assume any
responsibility for their correctness. The Trustees shall not be accountable for
the use or application by the Trust of the proceeds of the Trust Securities in
accordance with Section 2.05.

         The Property Trustee may conclusively assume that any funds held by it
hereunder are legally available unless an officer of the Property Trustee
assigned to its Corporate Trustee Administrative Department shall have received
written notice from the Company, any Holder or any other Trustee that such funds
are not legally available.

         Section 8.05 May Hold Securities. Except as provided in the definition
of the term "Outstanding" in Article I, any Trustee or any other agent of the
Trustees or the Trust, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the
owner or pledgee of Trust Securities and may otherwise deal with the Trust with
the same rights it would have if it were not a Trustee or such other agent.

         Section 8.06      Compensation; Fees; Indemnity.

         The Depositor agrees:

         (1) to pay to the Trustees from time to time reasonable compensation
for all services rendered by the Trustees hereunder (which compensation shall
not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a
trustee of an express trust);

         (2) 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 Trust
Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and
disbursements of their agents and counsel), except any such expense,
disbursement or advance as may be attributable to their willful misconduct,
negligence or bad faith; and

         (3) to indemnify the Trustees for, and to hold the Trustees harmless
against, any and all loss, damage, claims, liability or expense incurred without

         Section 8.09      Co-Trustees and Separate Trustee.

         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
Property may at the time be located, the Holder of the Common Securities and the
Property Trustee shall have power to appoint, and upon the written request of
the Property Trustee, the Depositor shall for such purpose join with the
Property Trustee in the execution, delivery and performance of all instruments
and agreements necessary or proper to appoint, one or more Persons approved by
the Property Trustee either to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Property
Trustee, of all or any part of such Trust Property, or to act as separate
trustee of any such Trust 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 the capacity aforesaid, any property, title, right or power deemed necessary
or desirable, subject to the other provisions of this Section. If the Depositor
does not join in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a
request so to do, or in case an Indenture Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Property Trustee alone shall have power to make such
appointment. Any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed pursuant to this
Section shall satisfy the requirements of Section 8.07.

         Should any written instrument from the Depositor be required by any
co-trustee or separate trustee so appointed for more fully confirming to such
co-trustee or separate trustee such property, title, right, or power, any and
all such instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged, and delivered
by the Depositor.

         Every co-trustee or separate trustee shall, to the extent permitted by
law, but to such extent only, be appointed subject to the following terms,
namely:

                  (i) The Trust Securities shall be executed, authenticated and
         delivered and all rights, powers, duties, and obligations hereunder in
         respect of the custody of securities, cash and other personal property
         held by, or required to be deposited or pledged with, the Trustees
         hereunder, shall be exercised, solely by the Trustees.

                  (ii) The rights, powers, duties, and obligations hereby
         conferred or imposed upon the Property Trustee in respect of any
         property covered by such appointment shall be conferred or imposed upon
         and exercised or performed by the Property Trustee or by the Property
         Trustee and such co-trustee or separate trustee jointly, as shall be
         provided in the instrument appointing such co-trustee or separate
         trustee, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in
         which any particular act is to be performed, the Property Trustee shall
         be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act, in which event such
         rights, powers, duties, and obligations shall be exercised and
         performed by such co-trustee or separate trustee.

                  (iii) The Property Trustee at any time, by an instrument in
         writing executed by it, with the written concurrence of the Depositor,
         may accept the resignation of or remove any co-trustee or separate
         trustee appointed under this Section, and, in case an Indenture Event
         of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Property Trustee shall
         have power to accept the resignation of, or remove, any such co-trustee
         or separate trustee without the concurrence of the Depositor. Upon the
         written request of the Property Trustee, the Depositor shall join with
         the Property Trustee in the execution, delivery, and performance of all
         instruments and agreements necessary or proper to effectuate such
         resignation or removal. A successor to any co-trustee or separate
         trustee so resigned or removed may be appointed in the manner provided
         in this Section.

                  (iv) No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be
         personally liable by reason of any act or omission of the Property
         Trustee, or any other such trustee hereunder.

                  (v) The Trustees shall not be liable by reason of any act of a
         co-trustee or separate trustee.

                  (vi) Any Act of Holders delivered to the Property Trustee
         shall be deemed to have been delivered to each such co-trustee and
         separate trustee.

         Section 8.10 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. No
resignation or removal of any Trustee (the "Relevant Trustee") and no
appointment of a successor Relevant Trustee pursuant to this Article shall
become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Relevant
Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11.

         The Relevant Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice
thereof to the Securityholders. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor
Relevant Trustee required by Section 8.11 shall not have been delivered to the
Relevant Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation,
the resigning Relevant Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction
for the appointment of a successor Relevant Trustee.

         Unless an Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Relevant Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of the Holder
of the Common Securities. If an Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, the Relevant Trustee may be removed at such time by Act of
the Securityholders of a majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred
Securities Certificates, delivered to the Relevant Trustee (in its individual
capacity and on behalf of the Trust).

         If the Relevant Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of
continuing to act as Trustee at a time when no Indenture Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, the Holder of the Common Securities, by Act of
the Holder of the Common Securities delivered to the retiring Relevant Trustee,
shall promptly appoint a successor Relevant Trustee or Trustees, and the
retiring Relevant Trustee shall comply with the applicable requirements of
Section 8.11. If the Relevant Trustee shall resign, be removed or become
incapable of continuing to act as the Relevant Trustee at a time when an
Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Holders of
Preferred Securities, by Act of the Securityholders of a majority in Liquidation
Amount of the Preferred Securities then outstanding delivered to the retiring
Relevant Trustee, shall promptly appoint a successor Relevant Trustee or
Trustees, and the Relevant Trustee shall comply with the applicable requirements
of Section 8.11. If no successor Relevant Trustee shall have been so appointed
in accordance with this Section 8.10 and accepted appointment in the manner
required by Section 8.11, any Securityholder who has been a Securityholder of
Trust Securities for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all
others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Relevant Trustee.

         The retiring Relevant Trustee shall give notice of each resignation and
each removal of the Relevant Trustee, and each appointment of a successor
Trustee to all Securityholders in the manner provided in Section 10.08 and shall
give notice to the Depositor. Each notice shall include the name of the
successor Relevant Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office if it
is the Property Trustee.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Trust
Agreement, in the event any Administrative Trustee or a Delaware Trustee who is
a natural person dies or becomes incompetent or incapacitated, the vacancy
created by such death, incompetence or incapacity may be filled by (i) the act
of the remaining Administrative Trustee or (ii) otherwise by the Depositor (with
the successor in each case being an individual who satisfies the eligibility
requirement for Administrative Trustees set forth in Section 8.07).
Additionally, notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Trust
Agreement, in the event the Depositor believes that any Administrative Trustee
has become incompetent or incapacitated, the Depositor, by notice to the
remaining Trustees, may terminate the status of such Person as an Administrative
Trustee (in which case the vacancy so created will be filled in accordance with
the preceding sentence).

         Section 8.11 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. In case of the
appointment hereunder of a successor Relevant Trustee, every such successor
Relevant Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the
Trust and to the retiring Relevant Trustee an instrument accepting such
appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Relevant
Trustee shall become effective and such successor Relevant Trustee, without any
further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights,
powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Relevant Trustee; but, on the request
of the Depositor or the successor Relevant Trustee, such retiring Relevant
Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument
transferring to such successor Relevant Trustee all the rights, powers and
trusts of the retiring Relevant Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and
deliver to such successor Relevant Trustee all property and money held by such
retiring Relevant Trustee hereunder.

         Upon request of any such successor Relevant Trustee, the Trust shall
execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and
confirming to such successor Relevant Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts
referred to in the preceding paragraph.

         No successor Relevant Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at
the time of such acceptance such successor Relevant Trustee shall be qualified
and eligible under this Article.

         Section 8.12 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to
Business. Any Person into which the Property Trustee, Delaware Trustee or any
Administrative Trustee which is not a natural person may be merged or converted
or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which such Relevant Trustee shall be a party, or
any Person succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business
of such Relevant Trustee, shall be the successor of such Relevant Trustee
hereunder, provided such Person shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under
this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on
the part of any of the parties hereto.

         Section 8.13 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Depositor or
Trust. If and when the Property Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the
Depositor or the Trust (or any other obligor upon the Junior Subordinated Notes
or the Trust Securities), the Property Trustee shall be subject to the
provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against
the Depositor or Trust (or any such other obligor). For purposes of Section
311(b)(4) and (6) of the Trust Indenture Act:

         (a) "cash transaction" means any transaction in which full payment for
goods or securities sold is made within seven days after delivery of the goods
or securities in currency or in checks or other orders drawn upon banks or
bankers and payable upon demand; and

         (b) "self-liquidating paper" means any draft, bill of exchange,
acceptance or obligation which is made, drawn, negotiated or incurred by the
Depositor or the Trust (or any such obligor) for the purpose of financing the
purchase, processing, manufacturing, shipment, storage or sale of goods, wares
or merchandise and which is secured by documents evidencing title to, possession
of, or a lien upon, the goods, wares or merchandise or the receivables or
proceeds arising from the sale of the goods, wares or merchandise previously
constituting the security, provided the security is received by the Property
Trustee simultaneously with the creation of the creditor relationship with the
Depositor or the Trust (or any such obligor) arising from the making, drawing,
negotiating or incurring of the draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or
obligation.

         Section 8.14      Reports by Property Trustee.

         (a) Within 60 days after May 15 of each year commencing with May 15,
20__, if required by Section 313(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Property
Trustee shall transmit a brief report dated as of such May 15 with respect to
any of the events specified in such Section 313(a) that may have occurred since
the later of the date of this Trust Agreement or the preceding May 15.

         (b) The Property Trustee shall transmit to Securityholders the reports
required by Section 313(b) of the Trust Indenture Act at the times specified
therein.

         (c) Reports pursuant to this Section shall be transmitted in the manner
and to the Persons required by Sections 313(c) and (d) of the Trust Indenture
Act.

         Section 8.15 Reports to the Property Trustee. The Depositor and the
Administrative Trustees on behalf of the Trust shall provide to the Property
Trustee such documents, reports and information as required by Section 314 of
the Trust Indenture Act (if any) and, within 120 days after the end of each
fiscal year of the Depositor, the compliance certificate required by Section
314(a)(4) of the Trust Indenture Act in the form and in the manner required by
Section 314 of the Trust Indenture Act.

         Section 8.16 Evidence of Compliance with Conditions Precedent. Each of
the Depositor and the Administrative Trustees on behalf of the Trust shall
provide to the Property Trustee such evidence of compliance with any conditions
precedent, if any, provided for in this Trust Agreement that relate to any of
the matters set forth in Section 314(c) of the Trust Indenture Act. Any
certificate or opinion required to be given pursuant to Section 314(c)(1) of the
Trust Indenture Act shall comply with Section 314(e) of the Trust Indenture Act.

         Section 8.17      Number of Trustees.

         (a) The number of Trustees shall initially be four, provided that the
Depositor by written instrument may increase or decrease the number of
Administrative Trustees.

         (b) If a Trustee ceases to hold office for any reason and the number of
Administrative Trustees is not reduced pursuant to Section 8.17(a), or if the
number of Trustees is increased pursuant to Section 8.17(a), a vacancy shall
occur. The vacancy shall be filled with a Trustee appointed in accordance with
Section 8.10.

         (c) The death, resignation, retirement, removal, bankruptcy,
incompetence or incapacity to perform the duties of a Trustee shall not operate
to annul the Trust. Whenever a vacancy in the number of Administrative Trustees
shall occur, until such vacancy is filled by the appointment of an
Administrative Trustee in accordance with Section 8.10, the Administrative
Trustees in office, regardless of their number (and notwithstanding any other
provision of this Trust Agreement), shall have all powers granted to the
Administrative Trustees and shall discharge the duties imposed upon the
Administrative Trustees by this Trust Agreement.

         Section 8.18      Delegation of Power.

         (a) Any Administrative Trustee may, by power of attorney consistent
with applicable law, delegate to any other natural person over the age of 21 his
or her power for the purpose of executing any documents contemplated in Section
2.07(A), including any registration statement or amendment thereto filed with
the Commission, or making any other governmental filing; and

         (b) The Administrative Trustees shall have power to delegate from time
to time to such of their number the doing of such things and the execution of
such instruments either in the name of the Trust or the names of the
Administrative Trustees or otherwise as the Administrative Trustees may deem
expedient, to the extent such delegation is not prohibited by applicable law or
contrary to the provisions of the Trust, as set forth herein.

         Section 8.19 Enforcement of Rights of Property Trustee by
Securityholders. If (i) the Trust fails to pay Distributions in full on the
Preferred Securities for more than 20 consecutive quarterly distribution
periods, or (ii) an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then the Holders
of Preferred Securities will rely on the enforcement by the Property Trustee of
its rights against the Company as the holder of the Junior Subordinated Notes.
In addition, the Holders of a majority in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the
Preferred Securities will have the right to direct the time, method, and place
of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Property Trustee or
to direct the exercise of any trust or power conferred upon the Property Trustee
under this Trust Agreement, including the right to direct the Property Trustee
to exercise the remedies available to it as a holder of the Junior Subordinated
Notes, provided that such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of
law or with this Trust Agreement, and could not involve the Property Trustee in
personal liability in circumstances where reasonable indemnity would not be
adequate. If the Property Trustee fails to enforce its rights under the Junior
Subordinated Notes, a Holder of Preferred Securities may, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, institute a legal proceeding against the Company to
enforce its rights under this Trust Agreement without first instituting any
legal proceeding against the Property Trustee or any other Person, including the
Trust; it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders
shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue of, or by availing of,
any provision of this Trust Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights
of any other of such Holders or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or
preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this
Trust Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and
ratable benefit of all such Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder of
Preferred Securities may institute a legal proceeding directly against the
Company, without first instituting a legal proceeding against or requesting or
directing that action be taken by the Property Trustee or any other Person, for
enforcement of payment to such Holder of principal of or interest on the Series
A Junior Subordinated Notes having a principal amount equal to the aggregate
stated liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities of such Holder on or after
the due dates therefor specified or provided for in the Series A Junior
Subordinated Notes. The Company shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holders
of Preferred Securities in respect of any amounts paid to such Holders by the
Company pursuant to this Section.


                                   ARTICLE IX

                           Termination and Liquidation

         within the discretion of the Depositor) to terminate the Trust and
         distribute the Junior Subordinated Notes to Securityholders as provided
         in Section 9.04; and

                  (iii) the payment at maturity or redemption of all of the

         Securities.

         Section 9.03 Termination. The respective obligations and
responsibilities of the Trust and the Trustees created hereby shall terminate

4.02, of all amounts or instruments required to be distributed hereunder upon
the final payment of the Trust Securities; (b) the payment of any expenses owed
by the Trust; and (c) the discharge of all administrative duties of the

first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not later than 30 nor more than 60
days prior to the Liquidation Date to each Holder of Trust Securities at such
Holder's address appearing in the Securities Register. All notices of

                  (i) state the Liquidation Date;

                  (ii) state that from and after the Liquidation Date, the Trust
         Securities will no longer be deemed to be Outstanding and any Trust

                  (iii) provide such information with respect to the mechanics
         by which Holders may exchange Trust Securities Certificates for Junior
         Subordinated Notes as the Administrative Trustees or the Property
         Trustee shall deem appropriate.

         (c) In order to effect the liquidation of the Trust and distribution of

Subordinated Notes in exchange for the Outstanding Trust Securities
Certificates.

         (d) After the Liquidation Date, (i) the Trust Securities will no longer

Junior Subordinated Notes will be issued to Holders of Trust Securities
Certificates, upon surrender of such certificates to the Administrative Trustees
or their agent for exchange, (iii) any Trust Securities Certificates not so
surrendered for exchange will be deemed to represent a Like Amount of Junior
Subordinated Notes, accruing interest at the rate provided for in the Junior
Subordinated Notes from the last Distribution Date on which a Distribution was
made on such Trust Certificates until such certificates are so surrendered (and
until such certificates are so surrendered, no payments of interest or principal
will be made to Holders of Trust Securities Certificates with respect to such
Junior Subordinated Notes) and (iv) all rights of Securityholders holding Trust
Securities will cease, except the right of such Securityholders to receive
Junior Subordinated Notes upon surrender of Trust Securities Certificates.

         (e) The Depositor will use its best efforts to have the Junior
Subordinated Notes that are distributed in exchange for the Preferred Securities
to be listed on such securities exchange as the Preferred Securities are then
listed. The Depositor may elect to have the Junior Subordinated Notes issued in
book-entry form to the Clearing Agency or its nominee.

         Section 9.05 Bankruptcy. If an Early Termination Event specified in
clause (i) of Section 9.02 has occurred, the Trust shall be liquidated. The
Property Trustee shall distribute the Junior Subordinated Notes to the
Securityholders as provided in Section 9.04, unless such distribution is
determined by the Administrative Trustees not to be practical, in which event
the Holders will be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Trust available
for distribution to Securityholders, after satisfaction of liabilities to
creditors, an amount equal to the Liquidation Amount per Trust Security plus
accrued and unpaid Distributions thereon to the date of payment (such amount
being the "Liquidation Distribution"). If such Liquidation Distribution can be
paid only in part because the Trust has insufficient assets available to pay in
full the aggregate Liquidation Distribution, then, subject to the next
succeeding sentence, the amounts payable by the Trust on the Trust Securities
shall be paid on a pro rata basis (based upon Liquidation Amounts). The Holder
of the Common Securities will be entitled to receive Liquidation Distributions
upon any such dissolution, winding-up or termination pro rata (determined as
aforesaid) with Holders of Preferred Securities, except that, if an Indenture
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Preferred Securities shall
have a priority over the Common Securities.

         Section 10.01 Guarantee by the Depositor. Subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, the Depositor irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to
each Person to whom the Trust is now or hereafter becomes indebted or liable
(the "Beneficiaries") the full payment, when and as due, of any and all
Obligations (as hereinafter defined) to such Beneficiaries. As used herein,
"Obligations" means any indebtedness, expenses or liabilities of the Trust,
other than obligations of the Trust to pay to Holders of any Preferred
Securities or other similar interests in the Trust the amounts due such Holders
pursuant to the terms of the Preferred Securities or such other similar
interests, as the case may be. This guarantee is intended to be for the benefit
of, and to be enforceable by, all such Beneficiaries, whether or not such
Beneficiaries have received notice hereof.

         Section 10.02 Limitation of Rights of Securityholders. The death or
incapacity of any Person having an interest, beneficial or otherwise, in a Trust
Security shall not operate to terminate this Trust Agreement, nor entitle the
legal representatives or heirs of such Person or any Securityholder for such
Person, to claim an accounting, take any action or bring any proceeding in and
for a partition or winding up of the arrangements contemplated hereby, nor
otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto
or any of them.

         Section 10.03     Amendment.

         (a) This Trust Agreement may be amended from time to time by the
Trustees and the Depositor, without the consent of any Securityholders, (i) to
cure any ambiguity, correct or supplement any provision herein which may be
inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to make any other provisions
with respect to matters or questions arising under this Trust Agreement, which
shall not be inconsistent with the other provisions of this Trust Agreement,
provided, however, that any such amendment shall not adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Securityholder or (ii) to modify,
eliminate or add to any provisions of this Trust Agreement to such extent as
shall be necessary to ensure that the Trust will not be classified as other than
a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes at any time that
any Trust Securities are outstanding; provided, however, that, except in the
case of clause (ii), such action shall not adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of any Securityholder and, in the case of clause (i), any
amendments of this Trust Agreement shall become effective when notice thereof is
given to the Securityholders.

         (b) Except as provided in Section 10.03(c) hereof, any provision in
this Trust Agreement may be amended by the Trust or the Trustees with (i) the
consent of Trust Securityholders representing not less than 66-2/3% (based upon
Liquidation Amounts) of the Trust Securities then Outstanding 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 of an
"investment company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

         (c) In addition to and notwithstanding any other provision in this
Trust Agreement, without the consent of each affected Securityholder (such
consent being obtained in accordance with Section 6.03 or 6.06 hereof), this
Trust Agreement may not be amended to (i) change the amount or timing of any
Distribution on the Trust Securities or otherwise adversely affect the amount of
any Distribution required to be made in respect of the Trust Securities as of a
specified date, (ii) restrict the right of a Securityholder to institute suit
for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such date, or (iii) change
the consent required pursuant to Section 10.03.

         (d) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Trust Agreement, the
Trustees shall not enter into or consent to any amendment to this Trust
Agreement which would cause the Trust to fail or cease to qualify for the
exemption from status of an "investment company" under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, afforded by Rule 3a-5 thereunder.

         (e) Without the consent of the Depositor, this Trust Agreement may not
be amended in a manner which imposes any additional obligation on the Depositor.
In executing any amendment permitted by this Trust Agreement, the Trustees shall
be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 8.01) shall be fully protected
in relying upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such
amendment is authorized or permitted by this Trust Agreement. Any Trustee may,
but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects such
Trustee's own rights, duties, immunities or liabilities under this Trust
Agreement or otherwise.

         or any portion of the Obligations or for the performance of any other
         obligation under, arising out of, or in connection with, the
         Obligations;

the consent of, the Company with respect to the happening of any of the
foregoing.

be modified or amended in any manner adverse to such Beneficiary or to the
holders of the Preferred Securities.
