                           REVERSE OF CAPITAL SECURITY

         Distributions  payable on each Capital  Security  will be payable at an
annual rate equal to 6.19%  beginning  on (and  including)  the date of original
issuance and ending on (but  excluding) the  Distribution  Payment Date in March
2006  and at an  annual  rate  for  each  successive  period  beginning  on (and
including)  the  Distribution  Payment Date in March 2006,  and each  succeeding
Distribution  Payment Date, and ending on (but  excluding)  the next  succeeding
Distribution  Payment  Date  (each a  "Distribution  Period"),  equal to 3-Month
LIBOR, determined as described below, plus 1.42% (the "Coupon Rate"), applied to
the stated liquidation amount of $1,000.00 per Capital Security, such rate being
the rate of interest  payable on the Debentures to be held by the  Institutional
Trustee.   Distributions  in  arrears  will  bear  interest  thereon  compounded
quarterly at the Distribution  Rate (to the extent permitted by applicable law).
The term "Distributions" as used herein includes cash distributions and any such
compounded  distributions unless otherwise noted. A Distribution is payable only
to the extent that  payments are made in respect of the  Debentures  held by the
Institutional  Trustee  and to the extent the  Institutional  Trustee  has funds
available therefor. As used herein,  "Determination Date" means the date that is
two London  Banking Days (i.e.,  a business day in which dealings in deposits in
U.S.  dollars are  transacted  in the London  interbank  market)  preceding  the
commencement of the relevant Distribution Period. The amount of the Distribution
payable  for  any  Distribution  Period  will  be  calculated  by  applying  the
Distribution  Rate  to  the  stated   liquidation   amount  outstanding  at  the
commencement  of the  Distribution  Period on the basis of the actual  number of
days in the Distribution Period concerned divided by 360.

         "3-Month  LIBOR" as used  herein,  means the London  interbank  offered
interest rate for three-month  U.S. dollar deposits  determined by the Debenture
Trustee  in the  following  order  of  priority:  (i) the rate  (expressed  as a
percentage per annum) for U.S.  dollar  deposits  having a three-month  maturity
that appears on Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the related
Determination  Date ("Telerate Page 3750" means the display  designated as "Page
3750" on the Moneyline  Telerate  Service or such other page as may replace Page
3750 on that  service or such other  service or services as may be  nominated by
the British  Bankers'  Association as the information  vendor for the purpose of
displaying  London interbank  offered rates for U.S. dollar  deposits);  (ii) if
such rate cannot be identified on the related  Determination Date, the Debenture
Trustee will request the principal  London  offices of four leading banks in the
London interbank market to provide such banks' offered quotations  (expressed as
percentages  per annum) to prime banks in the London  interbank  market for U.S.
dollar deposits having a three-month  maturity as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on
such Determination Date. If at least two quotations are provided,  3-Month LIBOR
will be the  arithmetic  mean of such  quotations;  (iii) if fewer than two such
quotations are provided as requested in clause (ii) above, the Debenture Trustee
will  request  four  major New York City banks to provide  such  banks'  offered
quotations  (expressed as percentages  per annum) to leading  European banks for
loans in U.S. dollars as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such Determination Date.
If at  least  two  such  quotations  are  provided,  3-Month  LIBOR  will be the
arithmetic mean of such  quotations;  and (iv) if fewer than two such quotations
are provided as requested in clause (iii) above, 3-Month LIBOR will be a 3-Month
LIBOR determined with respect to the Distribution  Period immediately  preceding
such current  Distribution Period. If the rate for U.S. dollar deposits having a
three-month  maturity that  initially  appears on Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00
a.m.  (London  time) on the  related  Determination  Date is  superseded  on the
Telerate  Page 3750 by a  corrected  rate by 12:00  noon  (London  time) on such
Determination  Date, then the corrected rate as so substituted on the applicable
page will be the applicable 3-Month LIBOR for such Determination Date.

         The Distribution  Rate for any  Distribution  Period will at no time be
higher than the maximum  rate then  permitted by New York law as the same may be
modified by United States law.
<PAGE>

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

         Except as  otherwise  described  below,  Distributions  on the  Capital
Securities  will be cumulative,  will accrue from the date of original  issuance
and will be payable  quarterly in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15 and
December 15 of each year or if any such day is not a Business Day, then the next
succeeding Business Day (each such day, a "Distribution Payment Date") (it being
understood that interest accrues for any such non-Business  Day),  commencing on
the Distribution  Payment Date in March 2006. The Debenture Issuer has the right
under the Indenture to defer payments of interest on the Debentures,  so long as
no  Acceleration  Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,  by extending
the interest payment period for up to 20 consecutive  quarterly periods (each an
"Extension Period") at any time and from time to time on the Debentures, subject
to the conditions  described  below,  during which Extension  Period no interest
shall be due and payable. During any Extension Period, interest will continue to
accrue on the Debentures,  and interest on such accrued  interest will accrue at
an annual rate equal to the Distribution  Rate in effect for each such Extension
Period, compounded quarterly from the date such interest would have been payable
were it not for the  Extension  Period,  to the  extent  permitted  by law (such
interest referred to herein as "Additional  Interest").  No Extension Period may
end on a date other than a  Distribution  Payment  Date.  At the end of any such
Extension  Period,  the Debenture Issuer shall pay all interest then accrued and
unpaid on the Debentures (together with Additional Interest thereon);  provided,
                                                                       --------
however,  that no Extension Period may extend beyond the Maturity Date. Prior to
-------
the termination of any Extension Period, the Debenture Issuer may further extend
such  period,  provided  that such period  together  with all such  previous and
further consecutive extensions thereof shall not exceed 20 consecutive quarterly
periods,  or extend  beyond  the  Maturity  Date.  Upon the  termination  of any
Extension  Period and upon the payment of all accrued  and unpaid  interest  and
Additional  Interest,  the Debenture Issuer may commence a new Extension Period,
subject to the foregoing requirements.  No interest or Additional Interest shall
be due and payable during an Extension  Period,  except at the end thereof,  but
each  installment  of interest  that would  otherwise  have been due and payable
during  such  Extension  Period  shall  bear  Additional  Interest.  During  any
Extension Period,  Distributions on the Capital Securities shall be deferred for
a period equal to the Extension  Period.  If  Distributions  are  deferred,  the
Distributions  due shall be paid on the date that the related  Extension  Period
terminates, to Holders of the Securities as they appear on the books and records
of the Trust on the record date immediately  preceding such date.  Distributions
on the Securities  must be paid on the dates payable (after giving effect to any
Extension  Period)  to the  extent  that the Trust has funds  available  for the
payment of such  distributions in the Property Account of the Trust. The Trust's
funds  available  for  Distribution  to the  Holders of the  Securities  will be
limited  to  payments  received  from  the  Debenture  Issuer.  The  payment  of
Distributions  out of moneys held by the Trust is  guaranteed  by the  Guarantor
pursuant to the Guarantee.

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