Trustee in respect of the Guarantee Payments will not be subject to any right,
charge, security interest, lien or claim of any kind in favor of, or for the
benefit of, the Guarantee Trustee or its agents or their creditors.

          (d) The Guarantee Trustee shall, within 90 days after the occurrence
of an Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Guarantee
Trustee, transmit by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Holders, as their
names and addresses appear upon the List of Holders, notice of all such Events
of Default, unless such defaults shall have been cured before the giving of such
notice; PROVIDED that the Guarantee Trustee shall be protected in withholding
such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or
a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Guarantee
Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the
interests of the Holders. The Guarantee Trustee shall not be deemed to have
knowledge of any Event of Default except any Event of Default as to which the
Guarantee Trustee shall have received written notice or a Responsible Officer
charged with the administration of this Guarantee Agreement shall have obtained
written notice of such Event of Default.

          (e) The Guarantee Trustee shall continue to serve as a trustee until a
Successor Guarantee Trustee has been appointed and accepted that appointment in
accordance with Article 4.

         SECTION 3.02.  CERTAIN RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE GUARANTEE TRUSTEE.

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

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

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

                       (A) the duties and obligations of the Guarantee Trustee
                  shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this
                  Guarantee Agreement, and the Guarantee Trustee shall not be
                  liable except for the performance of such duties and
                  obligations as are specifically set forth

                                       9

<Page>

                  in this Guarantee Agreement, and no implied covenants or
                  obligations shall be read into this Guarantee Agreement
                  against the Guarantee Trustee; and

                       (B) in the absence of willful misconduct on the part of
                  the Guarantee Trustee, the Guarantee Trustee may conclusively
                  rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of
                  the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or
                  opinions furnished to the Guarantee Trustee and conforming to
                  the requirements of this Guarantee Agreement; PROVIDED,
                  HOWEVER, that in the case of any such certificates or opinions
                  that by any provision hereof or the Trust Indenture Act are
                  specifically required to be furnished to the Guarantee
                  Trustee, the Guarantee Trustee shall be under a duty to
                  examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to
                  the requirements of this Guarantee Agreement or the Trust
                  Indenture Act, as the case may be (but need not confirm or
                  investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other
                  facts stated therein);

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

                  (iii) the Guarantee Trustee shall not be liable with respect
         to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
         accordance with the direction of the Holders of a Majority of
         Outstanding Preferred Securities relating to the time, method and place
         of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Guarantee
         Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Guarantee
         Trustee under this Guarantee Agreement; and

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

          (c)   Subject to the provisions of Section 3.02(a) and 3.02(b):

                                      10
<Page>

                  (i) whenever in the administration of this Guarantee
         Agreement, the Guarantee Trustee shall deem it desirable that a
         matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or
         omitting any action hereunder, the Guarantee Trustee (unless other
         evidence is herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of
         willful misconduct on its part, request and rely upon an Officers'
         Certificate, which, upon receipt of such request, shall be promptly
         delivered by the Guarantor;

                 (ii) the Guarantee Trustee (A) may consult with counsel of its
         selection (which may be counsel to the Guarantor or any of its
         Affiliates and may include any of its employees) selected by it in good
         faith and with due care and the advice or opinion of such counsel with
         respect to legal matters shall be full and complete authorization and
         protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it
         hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon and in accordance with
         such advice and opinion and (B) shall have the right at any time to
         seek, at the expense of the Guarantor, instructions concerning the
         administration of this Guarantee Agreement from any court of competent
         jurisdiction;

                (iii) the Guarantee Trustee may execute any of the trusts or
         powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by
         or through agents or attorneys, and the Guarantee Trustee shall not be
         responsible for any willful misconduct or negligence on the part of any
         agent or attorney appointed by it in good faith and with due care;

                 (iv) the Guarantee Trustee shall be under no obligation to
         exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Guarantee
         Agreement at the request or direction of any Holder, unless such Holder
         shall have offered to the Guarantee Trustee security and indemnity
         satisfactory to the Guarantee Trustee against the costs, expenses
         (including attorneys' fees and expenses) and liabilities that might
         be incurred by it in complying with such request or direction;
         PROVIDED that nothing contained in this clause (iv) shall relieve
         the Guarantee Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an
         Event of Default (which has not been cured or waived) to exercise
         such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Guarantee
         Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in this
         exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the
         circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs; and

                  (v) any action taken by the Guarantee Trustee or its agents
         hereunder shall bind the Holders, and the signature of the Guarantee
         Trustee or its agents alone shall be sufficient and effective to
         perform any such action; and no third


                                       11
<Page>

         party shall be required to inquire as to the authority of the
         Guarantee Trustee to so act, or as to its compliance with any of the
         terms and provisions of this Guarantee Agreement, both of which
         shall be conclusively evidenced by the Guarantee Trustee's or its
         agent's taking such action.

         SECTION 3.03.  NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR RECITALS OR ISSUANCE OF GUARANTEE.

         The recitals contained in this Guarantee Agreement shall be taken as
the statements of the Guarantor, and the Guarantee Trustee does not assume any
responsibility for their correctness. The Guarantee Trustee makes no
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Guarantee Agreement.

         SECTION 3.04.  THE GUARANTEE TRUSTEE MAY OWN PREFERRED SECURITIES.

         The Guarantee Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may
become the owner or pledgee of Preferred Securities and may otherwise deal with
the Guarantor with the same rights it would have if it were not the Guarantee
Trustee.

         SECTION 3.05.  MONEYS RECEIVED BY THE GUARANTEE TRUSTEE TO BE HELD IN
TRUST WITHOUT INTEREST.

         All moneys received by the Guarantee Trustee in respect of Guarantee
Payments shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for
the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other
funds except to the extent required by law. The Guarantee Trustee shall be under
no liability for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder except such as
it may agree in writing to pay thereon.

         SECTION 3.06.  COMPENSATION AND EXPENSES OF GUARANTEE TRUSTEE.

         The Guarantor covenants and agrees to pay to the Guarantee Trustee from
time to time, and the Guarantee Trustee shall be entitled to, such compensation
as the Guarantor and the Guarantee Trustee shall from time to time agree in
writing (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the
compensation of a Guarantee Trustee of an express trust) for all services
rendered by it in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties
hereunder of the Guarantee Trustee, and the Guarantor will pay or reimburse the
Guarantee Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements
and advances incurred or made by the Guarantee Trustee in accordance with any of
the provisions of this Guarantee Agreement (including the reasonable
compensation and the reasonable expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of
all persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense,


                                       12
<Page>

disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or willful
misconduct. The Guarantor also covenants to indemnify each of the Guarantee
Trustee or any predecessor Guarantee Trustee and their officers, agents,
directors and employees for, and to hold them harmless against, any and all
loss, liability, damage, claim or expense including taxes (other than taxes
based upon, measured by or determined by the income, profit, franchise or
doing business of the Guarantee Trustee) incurred without negligence or
willful misconduct on the part of the Guarantee Trustee and arising out of or
in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, including
the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim
(whether asserted by the Guarantor, any Holder or any other Person) of
liability in the premises. The provisions of this Section 3.06 shall survive
the termination of this Guarantee Agreement and resignation or removal of the
Guarantee Trustee.

                                    ARTICLE 4
                                GUARANTEE TRUSTEE

         SECTION 4.01.  QUALIFICATIONS.

         There shall at all times be a Guarantee Trustee that shall:

                  (i) not be an Affiliate of the Guarantor; and

                 (ii) be a national banking association or corporation organized
         and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or
         any State or Territory thereof or of the District of Columbia, or a
         corporation or Person permitted by the Commission to act as an
         institutional trustee under the Trust Indenture Act, authorized
         under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a
         combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, and subject to
         supervision or examination by Federal, State, Territorial or
         District of Columbia authority. If such corporation publishes
         reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
         requirements of the supervising or examining authority referred to
         above, then for the purposes of this clause (ii), the combined
         capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its
         combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report
         of condition so published.

         If at any time the Guarantee Trustee shall cease to satisfy the
requirements of clauses (i) and (ii) above, the Guarantee Trustee shall
immediately resign in the manner and with the effect set out in Section 4.02. If
the Guarantee Trustee has or shall acquire any "conflicting interest" within the
meaning of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture


                                       13
<Page>

Act, the Guarantee Trustee and the Guarantor shall in all respects comply
with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

         SECTION 4.02.  APPOINTMENT, REMOVAL AND RESIGNATION OF THE GUARANTEE
TRUSTEE.

          (a) Subject to Section 4.02(b), the Guarantee Trustee may be appointed
or removed without cause at any time by the Guarantor.

          (b) The Guarantee Trustee shall not be removed in accordance with
Section 4.02(a) until a Successor Guarantee Trustee possessing the
qualifications to act as Guarantee Trustee under Section 4.01 has been appointed
and has accepted such appointment by written instrument executed by such
Successor Guarantee Trustee and delivered to the Guarantor and the Guarantee
Trustee being removed.

          (c) The Guarantee Trustee appointed to office shall hold office until
its successor shall have been appointed or until its removal or resignation.

          (d) The Guarantee Trustee may resign from office (without need for
prior or subsequent accounting) by an instrument (a "RESIGNATION REQUEST") in
writing signed by the Guarantee Trustee and delivered to the Guarantor, which
resignation shall take effect upon such delivery or upon such later date as is
specified therein; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such resignation of the Guarantee
Trustee shall be effective until a Successor Guarantee Trustee possessing the
qualifications to act as Guarantee Trustee under Section 4.01 has been appointed
and has accepted such appointment by instrument executed by such Successor
Guarantee Trustee and delivered to the Guarantor and the resigning Guarantee
Trustee.

          (e) If no Successor Guarantee Trustee shall have been appointed and
accepted appointment as provided in this Section 4.02 within 60 days after
delivery to the Guarantor of a Resignation Request or receipt of a notice of
removal by the Guarantee Trustee, the Guarantee Trustee resigning or to be
removed may, at the expense of the Guarantor, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for appointment of a Successor Guarantee Trustee. Such court may
thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper, appoint a
Successor Guarantee Trustee.

                                    GUARANTEE

         SECTION 5.01.  GUARANTEE.

         The Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to pay in full to
the Holders the Guarantee Payments (without duplication of amounts theretofore
paid by the Issuer), as and when due, regardless of any defense, right of
set-off or counterclaim which the Issuer may have or assert. The Guarantor's
obligation to make a Guarantee Payment may be satisfied by direct payment of the
required amounts by the Guarantor to the Holders or to the Guarantee Trustee for
remittance to the Holders or by causing the Issuer to pay such amounts to the
Holders.

         SECTION 5.02.  WAIVER OF NOTICE.

         The Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance of this Guarantee
Agreement and of any liability to which it applies or may apply, presentment,
demand for payment, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer
or any other Person before proceeding against the Guarantor, protest, notice of
nonpayment, notice of dishonor, notice of redemption and all other notices and
demands. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Guarantor retains
all of its rights under the Indenture to extend the interest payment period on
the Notes and the Guarantor shall not be obligated hereunder to make any
Guarantee Payment during any Extension Period with respect to the Distributions
on the Preferred Securities.

         SECTION 5.03.  OBLIGATIONS NOT AFFECTED.

         The obligations, covenants, agreements and duties of the Guarantor
under this Guarantee Agreement shall in no way be affected or impaired by reason
of the happening from time to time of any of the following:

          (a) the release or waiver, by operation of law or otherwise, of the
performance or observance by the Issuer of any express or implied agreement,
covenant, term or condition relating to the Preferred Securities to be performed
or observed by the Issuer;

          (b) the extension of time for the payment by the Issuer of all or any
portion of the Distributions (other than an extension of time for payment of
Distributions that result from any Extension Period), Redemption Price,
Liquidation Distribution (as defined in the Declaration) or any other sums
payable under the terms of the Preferred Securities or the extension of time for
the performance of any other obligation under, arising out


                                       15
<Page>

of, or in connection with, the Preferred Securities (other than an extension
of time for payment of Distributions that result from any Extension Period);

          (c) any failure, omission, delay or lack of diligence on the part of
the Guarantee Trustee or the Holders to enforce, assert or exercise any right,
privilege, power or remedy conferred on the Guarantee Trustee or the Holders
pursuant to the terms hereof or of the Preferred Securities, respectively, or
any action on the part of the Issuer granting indulgence or extension of any
kind;

          (d) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale of any
collateral, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of
creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition or readjustment of debt of,
or other similar proceedings affecting, the Issuer or any of the assets of the
Issuer;

          (e) any invalidity of, or defect or deficiency in, the Preferred
Securities;

          (f) the settlement or compromise of any obligation guaranteed hereby
or hereby incurred; or

          (g) any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute
a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor, it being the intent of
this Section 5.03 that the obligations of the Guarantor with respect to the
Guarantee Payments shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all
circumstances.

         There shall be no obligation of the Guarantee Trustee or the Holders to
give notice to, or obtain consent of, the Guarantor with respect to the
happening of any of the foregoing.

         SECTION 5.04.  ENFORCEMENT OF GUARANTEE.

         The Guarantor and the Guarantee Trustee expressly acknowledge and
agree that (i) this Guarantee Agreement will be deposited with the Guarantee
Trustee to be held for the benefit of the Holders; (ii) the Guarantee Trustee
has the right to enforce this Guarantee Agreement on behalf of the Holders;
(iii) Holders representing not less than a Majority of Outstanding Preferred
Securities have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting
any proceeding for any remedy available to the Guarantee Trustee in respect
of this Guarantee Agreement or exercising any trust or other power conferred
upon the Guarantee Trustee under this Guarantee Agreement; and (iv) if the
Guarantee Trustee fails to enforce this Guarantee Agreement as provided in
clauses (ii) and (iii) above, any Holder may institute a legal proceeding
directly against the Guarantor to enforce its rights under this Guarantee
Agreement, without first


                                       16
<Page>

instituting a legal proceeding against the Issuer, the Guarantee Trustee or
any other Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Guarantor has failed
to make a Guarantee Payment, a Holder may directly institute a proceeding
against the Guarantor for enforcement of this Guarantee Agreement for such
payment without first instituting a legal proceeding against the Issuer, the
Guarantee Trustee or any other Person.

         SECTION 5.05.  GUARANTEE OF PAYMENT.

         This Guarantee Agreement creates a guarantee of payment and not merely
of collection. This Guarantee Agreement will not be discharged except by payment
of the Guarantee Payments in full (without duplication of amounts theretofore
paid by the Issuer) or upon the distribution of the Notes to the Holders as
provided in the Declaration.

         SECTION 5.06.  SUBROGATION.

         The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all (if any) rights of the Holders
against the Issuer in respect of any amounts paid to the Holders by the
Guarantor under this Guarantee Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Guarantor
shall not (except to the extent required by mandatory provisions of law) be
entitled to enforce or exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of
subrogation or any indemnity, reimbursement or other agreement, in all cases as
a result of payment under this Guarantee Agreement, if, at the time of any such
payment, any amounts are due and unpaid under this Guarantee Agreement. If any
amount shall be paid to the Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence,
the Guarantor agrees to hold such amount in trust for the Holders and to pay
over such amount to the Holders or to the Guarantee Trustee for remittance to
the Holders.

         SECTION 5.07.  INDEPENDENT OBLIGATIONS.

         The Guarantor acknowledges that its obligations hereunder are
independent of the obligations of the Issuer with respect to the Preferred
Securities and that the Guarantor shall be liable as principal and as debtor
hereunder to make Guarantee Payments pursuant to the terms of this Guarantee
Agreement notwithstanding the occurrence of any event referred to in
subsections (a) through (g), inclusive, of Section 5.03 hereof.

                    LIMITATION OF TRANSACTIONS; SUBORDINATION

         SECTION 6.01.  LIMITATION OF TRANSACTIONS.

         So long as any Preferred Securities remain outstanding, if at such
time (i) the Guarantor shall be in default with respect to its Guarantee
Payments or other payment obligations hereunder, (ii) there shall have
occurred and be continuing any event of default under the Declaration or
(iii) the Guarantor shall have given notice of its election of an Extension
Period and such period, or any extension thereof, is continuing, the
Guarantor shall not (a) make any payment of principal, interest or premium,
if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities that rank
junior to the Notes in the right of payment issued by the Guarantor, or (b)
make any guarantee payments with respect to any guarantee by the Guarantor of
any securities of any of its subsidiaries if such guarantee ranks junior to
the Notes in the right of payment, (c) declare or pay any dividends or
distributions on any of the Guarantor's capital stock or (d) redeem,
purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of the
Guarantor's capital stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Guarantor may
(1) purchase or acquire its capital stock in connection with the satisfaction
by it of its obligations under any employee benefit plans or pursuant to any
contract or security outstanding on the first day of any such event requiring
it to purchase its capital stock; (2) reclassify its capital stock or
exchange or convert one class or series of its capital stock for another
class or series of its capital stock; (3) purchase fractional interests in
shares of its capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions
of such capital stock or the security being converted or exchanged; (4)
declare dividends or distributions in its capital stock; (5) redeem or
repurchase any rights pursuant to a rights agreement; and (6) make payments
under this Guarantee related to the Preferred Securities. In addition, so
long as any Preferred Securities remain outstanding, the Guarantor (i) will
remain the sole direct or indirect owner of all of the outstanding Common
Securities and shall not cause or permit the Common Securities to be
transferred except to the extent such transfer is permitted under the
Declaration; PROVIDED that any permitted successor of the Guarantor under the
Indenture may succeed to the Guarantor's direct or indirect ownership of the
Common Securities, (ii) will cause the holder of the Common Securities to
satisfy the requirements of Section 5.03 of the Declaration and (iii) will
use reasonable efforts to cause the Issuer to continue to be treated as a
grantortrust for United States federal income tax purposes, except in
connection with a distribution of Notes as provided in the Declaration.

         SECTION 6.02.  SUBORDINATION.


                                       18
<Page>

         If a Trust Enforcement Event has occurred and is continuing under the
Declaration the rights of the holders of the Common Securities to receive any
payments will be subordinated to the rights of the Holders of the Preferred
Securities to receive Guarantee Payments.

                                    ARTICLE 7
                                   TERMINATION

         SECTION 7.01. TERMINATION.

         This Guarantee Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and
effect (i) upon full payment of the Redemption Price of, plus all accumulated
and unpaid Distributions on, all Preferred Securities, (ii) upon the
distribution of Notes to Holders and holders of Common Securities in exchange
for all of the Preferred Securities and Common Securities or (iii) upon full
payment of the amounts payable in accordance with the Declaration upon
liquidation of the Issuer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Guarantee
