      (c) 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 taxable as a corporation or classified as other than
        a
        grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes, so that the
        Notes
        will be treated as indebtedness of the Depositor for United States federal
        income tax purposes and so that the Trust will not be deemed to be an
“investment company” required to be registered under the Investment Company Act.
        In this connection, each Administrative Trustee is authorized to take any
        action, not inconsistent with applicable law, the Certificate of Trust or
        this
        Trust Agreement, that such Administrative Trustee determines in his or her
        discretion to be necessary or desirable for such purposes, as long as such
        action does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of
        the
        Holders of the Outstanding Preferred Securities. In no event shall the
        Administrative Trustees be liable to the Trust or the Holders for any failure
        to
        comply with this Section
        2.5
        to the
        extent that such failure results solely from a change in law or regulation
        or in
        the interpretation thereof.

      (d) Any
        action taken by a Trustee in accordance with its powers shall constitute
        the act
        of and serve to bind the Trust. In dealing with any Trustee acting on behalf
        of
        the Trust, no Person shall be required to inquire into the authority of such
        Trustee to bind the Trust. Persons dealing with the Trust are entitled to
        rely
        conclusively on the power and authority of any Trustee as set forth in this
        Trust Agreement.

        to
        Trust Property.

       

      (a) Legal
        title to all Trust Property shall be vested at all times in the Property
        Trustee
        and shall be held and administered by the Property Trustee in trust for the
        benefit of the Trust and the Holders in accordance with this Trust
        Agreement.

       

      (b) The
        Holders shall not have any right or title to the Trust Property other than
        the
        undivided beneficial 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.

        of making deposits in and withdrawals from the Payment Account in accordance
        with this Trust Agreement. All monies and other property deposited or held

        in the
        Payment Account for the exclusive benefit of the Holders and for Distribution
        as
        herein provided.

        to, the Notes. Amounts held in the Payment Account shall not be invested

        of Paying Agents.

       

      The
        Property Trustee is appointed as the initial Paying Agent and hereby accepts
        such appointment. The Paying Agent shall make Distributions to Holders from
        the
        Payment Account and shall report the amounts of such Distributions to the
        Property Trustee and the Administrative Trustees. Any Paying Agent shall
        have
        the revocable power to withdraw funds from the Payment Account solely for
        the
        purpose of making the Distributions referred to above. The Administrative
        Trustees may revoke such power and remove the Paying Agent in their sole
        discretion. Any Person acting as Paying Agent shall be permitted to resign
        as
        Paying Agent upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Administrative
        Trustees and the Property Trustee. If the Property Trustee shall no longer
        be
        the Paying Agent or a successor Paying Agent shall resign or its authority
        to
        act be revoked, the Administrative Trustees shall appoint a successor (which
        shall be a bank or trust company) to act as Paying Agent. Such successor
        Paying
        Agent appointed by the Administrative Trustees shall execute and deliver
        to the
        Trustees an instrument in which such successor Paying Agent shall agree with
        the
        Trustees that as Paying Agent, such successor Paying Agent will hold all
        sums,
        if any, held by it for payment to the Holders in trust for the benefit of
        the
        Holders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Holders. 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 Article
        VIII
        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 Trust
        Agreement to the Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the
        context requires otherwise.

        DISTRIBUTIONS;
          REDEMPTION

      

       

      SECTION
        4.1. Distributions.

       

      (a) The
        Trust
        Securities represent undivided beneficial interests in the Trust Property,
        and
        Distributions (including any Additional Interest Amounts) will be made on
        the
        Trust Securities at the rate and on the dates that payments of interest
        (including any Additional Interest) are made on the Notes.
        Accordingly:

       

      (i) Distributions
        on the Trust Securities shall be cumulative, and shall accumulate whether
        or not
        there are funds of the Trust available for the payment of Distributions.
        Distributions shall accumulate from August 1, 2006, and, except as provided
        in
        clause (ii) below, shall be payable quarterly in arrears on March 30th,
        June
        30th,
        September 30th
        and
        December 30th
        of each
        year, commencing on September 30, 2006. If any date on which a Distribution
        is
        otherwise payable on the Trust Securities is not a Business Day, then the
        payment of such Distribution shall be made on the next succeeding Business
        Day
        (and no interest shall accrue in respect of the amounts whose payment is
        so
        delayed for the period from and after each such date until the next succeeding
        Business Day), except that, if such Business Day falls in the next succeeding
        calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business
        Day, in each case, with the same force and effect as if made on such date
        (each
        date on which Distributions are payable in accordance with this Section
        4.1(a)(i), a “Distribution Date”);

      
        
          
          

        

        
          15

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      (ii) Distributions
        shall accumulate in respect of the Trust Securities at a variable rate per
        annum, reset quarterly, equal to LIBOR plus 2.70% of the Liquidation Amount
        of
        the Trust Securities, such rate being the rate of interest payable on the
        Notes.
        LIBOR shall be determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with
Schedule
        A.
        The
        amount of Distributions payable for any Distribution period shall be computed
        and paid on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed
        in
        the relevant Distribution period. The amount of Distributions payable for
        any
        period shall include any Additional Interest Amounts in respect of such period;
        and

       

      (iii) Distributions
        on the Trust Securities shall be made by the Paying Agent from the Payment
        Account and shall be payable on each Distribution Date only to the extent
        that
        the Trust has funds then on hand and available in the Payment Account for
        the
        payment of such Distributions.

       

      (b) Distributions
        on the Trust Securities with respect to a Distribution Date shall be payable
        to
        the Holders thereof as they appear on the Securities Register for the Trust
        Securities at the close of business on the relevant record date, which shall
        be
        at the close of business on the fifteenth day (whether or not a Business
        Day)
        preceding the relevant Distribution Date. Distributions payable on any Trust
        Securities that are not punctually paid on any Distribution Date as a result
        of
        the Depositor having failed to make an interest payment under the Notes will
        cease to be payable to the Person in whose name such Trust Securities are
        registered on the relevant record date, and such defaulted Distributions
        and any
        Additional Interest Amounts will instead be payable to the Person in whose
        name
        such Trust Securities are registered on the special record date, or other
        specified date for determining Holders entitled to such defaulted Distribution
        and Additional Interest Amount, established in the same manner, and on the
        same
        date, as such is established with respect to the Notes under the
        Indenture.

       

      (c) As
        a
        condition to the payment of any principal of or interest on the Trust Securities
        without the imposition of withholding tax, the Administrative Trustees shall
        require the previous delivery of properly completed and signed applicable
        U.S.
        federal income tax certifications (generally, an Internal Revenue Service
        Form
        W-9 (or applicable successor form) in the case of a person that is a “United
        States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code or an
        Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 (or applicable successor form) in the case
        of
        a person that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section
        7701(a)(30) of the Code) and any other certification acceptable to it to
        enable
        the Paying Agent to determine its duties and liabilities with respect to
        any
        taxes or other charges that it may be required to pay, deduct or withhold
        in
        respect of such Trust Securities.

       

      SECTION
        4.2. Redemption.

       

      (a) On
        each
        Note Redemption Date and on the stated maturity (or any date of principal
        repayment upon early maturity) of the Notes and on each other date on (or
        in
        respect of) which any principal on the Notes is repaid, 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 thirty (30) nor more than sixty (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 or, if the Redemption Price cannot be calculated prior to
        the
        time the notice is required to be sent, the estimate of the Redemption Price
        provided pursuant to the Indenture, as calculated by the Depositor, together
        with a statement that it is an estimate and that the actual Redemption Price
        will be calculated by the Calculation Agent on the fifth Business Day prior
        to
        the Redemption Date (and if an estimate is provided, a further notice shall
        be
        sent of the actual Redemption Price on the date that such Redemption Price
        is
        calculated);

       

      (iii) if
        less
        than all the Outstanding Trust Securities are to be redeemed, the identification
        (and, in the case of partial redemption, the respective Liquidation Amounts)
        and
        Liquidation Amounts of the particular Trust Securities to be
        redeemed;

       

      (iv) that
        on
        the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon
        each
        such Trust Security, or portion thereof, to be redeemed and that Distributions
        thereon will cease to accumulate on such Trust Security or such portion,
        as the
        case may be, on and after said date, except as provided in Section
        4.2(d);

       

      (v) the
        place
        or places where the Trust Securities are to be surrendered for the payment
        of
        the Redemption Price; and

       

      (vi) such
        other provisions as the Property Trustee deems relevant.

       

      (c) The
        Trust
        Securities (or portion thereof) redeemed on each Redemption Date shall be
        redeemed at the Redemption Price with the proceeds from the contemporaneous
        redemption or payment at maturity of Notes. Redemptions of the Trust Securities
        (or portion thereof) shall be made and the Redemption Price shall be payable
        on
        each Redemption Date only to the extent that the Trust has funds then on
        hand
        and available in the Payment Account for the payment of such Redemption Price.
        Under the Indenture, the Notes may be redeemed by the Depositor on any Interest
        Payment Date, at the Depositor’s option, on or after September 30, 2011, in
        whole or in part, from time to time at a redemption price equal to one hundred
        percent (100%) of the principal amount thereof, together, in the case of
        any
        such redemption, with accrued interest, including any Additional Interest,
        to
        but excluding the date fixed for redemption (the “Indenture Redemption Price”).
        The Notes may also be redeemed by the Depositor, at its option, in whole
        but not
        in part, upon the occurrence of an Investment Company Event or a Tax Event
        at
        the Special Event Redemption Price (as set forth in the Indenture).

       

      (d) If
        the
        Property Trustee gives a notice of redemption in respect of any Preferred
        Securities, then by 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Redemption Date,
        the
        Depositor shall deposit sufficient funds with the Property Trustee to pay
        the
        Redemption Price. If such deposit has been made by such time, then by 12:00
        noon, New York City time, on the Redemption Date, the Property Trustee will,
        with respect to Book-Entry Preferred Securities, irrevocably deposit with
        the
        Depositary for such Book-Entry Preferred Securities, to the extent available
        therefor, funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price and will
        give
        such Depositary irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Redemption
        Price to the Holders of the Preferred Securities. With respect to Preferred
        Securities that are not Book-Entry Preferred Securities, the Property Trustee
        will irrevocably deposit with the Paying Agent, to the extent available
        therefor, funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price and will
        give
        the Paying Agent irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Redemption
        Price to the Holders of the Preferred Securities upon surrender of their
        Preferred Securities Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Distributions
        payable on or prior to the Redemption Date for any Trust Securities (or portion
        thereof) called for redemption shall be payable to the Holders of such Trust
        Securities as they appear on the Securities Register 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 Holders holding Trust Securities (or portion thereof) so called
        for redemption will cease, except the right of such Holders to receive the
        Redemption Price and any Distribution payable in respect of the Trust Securities
        on or prior to the Redemption Date, but without interest, and, in the case
        of a
        partial redemption, the right of such Holders to receive a new Trust Security
        or
        Securities of authorized denominations, in aggregate Liquidation Amount equal
        to
        the unredeemed portion of such Trust Security or Securities, and such Securities
        (or portion thereof) called for redemption 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 will be made
        on
        the next succeeding Business Day (and no interest shall accrue in respect
        of the
        amounts whose payment is so delayed for the period from and after each such
        date
        until the next succeeding Business Day), except that, if such Business Day
        falls
        in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the
        immediately preceding Business Day, in each case, with the same force and
        effect
        as if made on such date. In the event that payment of the Redemption Price
        in
        respect of any Trust Securities (or portion thereof) called for redemption
        is
        improperly withheld or refused and not paid either by the Trust or by the
        Depositor or the Guarantor pursuant to the Indenture, Distributions on such
        Trust Securities (or portion thereof) will continue to accumulate, as set
        forth
        in Section
        4.1,
        from
        the Redemption Date originally established by the Trust for such Trust
        Securities(or portion thereof) to the date such Redemption Price is actually
        paid, in which case the actual payment date will be the date fixed for
        redemption for purposes of calculating the Redemption Price.

      (e) Subject
        to Section
        4.3(a),
        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 pro rata to the Common Securities and the Preferred
        Securities based upon the relative aggregate Liquidation Amounts of the Common
        Securities and the Preferred Securities. The Preferred Securities to be redeemed
        shall be selected on a pro rata basis based upon their respective Liquidation
        Amounts not more than sixty (60) days prior to the Redemption Date by the
        Property Trustee from the Outstanding Preferred Securities not previously
        called
        for redemption; provided, however, that with respect to Holders that would
        be
        required to hold less than one hundred (100) but more than zero (0) Trust
        Securities as a result of such redemption, the Trust shall redeem Trust
        Securities of each such Holder so that after such redemption such Holder
        shall
        hold either one hundred (100) Trust Securities or such Holder no longer holds
        any Trust Securities, and shall use such method (including, without limitation,
        by lot) as the Trust shall deem fair and appropriate; and provided, further,
        that so long as the Preferred Securities are Book-Entry Preferred Securities,
        such selection shall be made in accordance with the Applicable Depositary
        Procedures for the Preferred Securities by such Depositary. The Property
        Trustee
        shall promptly notify the Securities Registrar in writing of the Preferred
        Securities (or portion thereof) 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 aggregate
        Liquidation Amount of Preferred Securities that has been or is to be
        redeemed.

      (f) The
        Trust
        in issuing the Trust Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in
        use), and, if so, the Property Trustee shall indicate the “CUSIP” numbers of the
        Trust Securities in notices of redemption and related materials as a convenience
        to Holders; provided, that any such notice may state that no representation
        is
        made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Trust
        Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption and related
        materials.

        4.3. Subordination

      (a) Payment
        of Distributions (including any Additional Interest Amounts) on, the Redemption
        Price of and the Liquidation Distribution in respect of, the Trust Securities,
        as applicable, shall be made, pro rata among the Common Securities and the
        Preferred Securities based on the Liquidation Amount of the respective Trust
        Securities; provided, that if on any Distribution Date, Redemption Date or
        Liquidation Date an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
        no
        payment of any Distribution (including any Additional Interest Amounts) on,
        Redemption Price of or Liquidation Distribution in respect 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 any Additional
        Interest Amounts) 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 then called for redemption, or in the case of payment
        of
        the Liquidation Distribution the full amount of such Liquidation Distribution
        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 any Additional
        Interest Amounts) on, or the Redemption Price of or the Liquidation Distribution
        in respect of, the Preferred Securities then due and payable.

       

      (b) In
        the
        case of the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Holders of the Common
        Securities shall have no right to act with respect to any such Event of Default
        under this Trust Agreement until all such Events of Default with respect
        to the
        Preferred Securities have been cured, waived or otherwise eliminated. Until
        all
        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 on behalf of the Holders of the Common Securities, and only the Holders
        of all the Preferred Securities will have the right to direct the Property
        Trustee to act on their behalf.

      SECTION
        4.4. Payment
        Procedures.

       

      Payments
        of Distributions (including any Additional Interest Amounts), the Redemption
        Price, Liquidation Amount or any other amounts in respect of the Preferred
        Securities shall be made by wire transfer at such place and to such account
        at a
        banking institution in the United States as may be designated in writing
        at
        least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date for payment by the Person
        entitled thereto unless proper written transfer instructions have not been
        received by the relevant record date, in which case such payments shall be
        made
        by check mailed to the address of such Person as such address shall appear
        in
        the Securities Register. If any Preferred Securities are held by a Depositary,
        such Distributions thereon shall be made to the Depositary in immediately
        available funds. 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 all the Common Securities.

       

      SECTION
        4.5. Withholding
        Tax.

       

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

       

      SECTION
        4.6. Tax
        Returns and Other Reports.

       

      (a) The
        Administrative Trustees shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) at the principal
        office of the Trust in the United States, as defined for purposes of Treasury
        regulations section 301.7701-7, 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 Trustees shall
        prepare at the principal office of the Trust in the United States, as defined
        for purposes of Treasury regulations section 301.7701-7, and furnish (or
        cause
        to be prepared and furnished), by January 31 in each taxable year of the
        Trust
        to each Holder all Internal Revenue Service forms and returns required to
        be
        provided by the Trust. The Administrative Trustees shall provide the Depositor
        and the Property Trustee with a copy of all such returns and reports promptly
        after such filing or furnishing.

      SECTION
        4.7. Payment
        of Taxes, Duties, Etc. of the Trust.

       

      Upon
        receipt under the Notes of Additional Tax Sums and upon the written direction
        of
        the Administrative Trustees, the Property Trustee shall promptly pay, solely
        out
        of monies on deposit pursuant to this Trust Agreement, any Additional Taxes
        imposed on the Trust by the United States or any other taxing
        authority.

       

      SECTION
        4.8. Payments
        under Indenture or Pursuant to Direct Actions.

       

      Any
        amount payable hereunder to any Holder of Preferred Securities shall be reduced
        by the amount of any corresponding payment such Holder (or any Owner with
        respect thereto) has directly received pursuant to Section
        5.8
        of the
        Indenture or Section
        6.10(b)
        of this
        Trust Agreement.

       

      SECTION
        4.9. Exchanges.

       

      (a) If
        at any
        time the Depositor or any of its Affiliates (in either case, a “Depositor
        Affiliate”) is the Owner or Holder of any Preferred Securities, such Depositor
        Affiliate shall have the right to deliver to the Property Trustee all or
        such
        portion of its Preferred Securities as it elects and, subject to compliance
        with
        Sections 2.2 and 3.5 of the Indenture, receive, in exchange therefor, a Like
        Amount of Notes. Such election (i) shall be exercisable effective on any
        Distribution Date by such Depositor Affiliate delivering to the Property
        Trustee
        a written notice of such election specifying the Liquidation Amount of Preferred
        Securities with respect to which such election is being made and the
        Distribution Date on which such exchange shall occur, which Distribution
        Date
        shall be not less than ten (10) Business Days after the date of receipt by
        the
        Property Trustee of such election notice and (ii) shall be conditioned upon
        such
        Depositor Affiliate having delivered or caused to be delivered to the Property
        Trustee or its designee the Preferred Securities that are the subject of
        such
        election by 10:00 A.M. New York time, on the Distribution Date on which such
        exchange is to occur. After the exchange, such Preferred Securities will
        be
        canceled and will no longer be deemed to be Outstanding and all rights of
        the
        Depositor Affiliate with respect to such Preferred Securities will
        cease.

       

      (b) In
        the
        case of an exchange described in Section
        4.9(a),
        the
        Property Trustee on behalf of the Trust will, on the date of such exchange,
        exchange Notes having a principal amount equal to a proportional amount of
        the
        aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Outstanding Common Securities, based
        on the
        ratio of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities exchanged
        pursuant to Section
        4.9(a)
        divided
        by the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities Outstanding
        immediately prior to such exchange, for such proportional amount of Common
        Securities held by the Depositor (which contemporaneously shall be canceled
        and
        no longer be deemed to be Outstanding); provided, that the Depositor delivers
        or
        causes to be delivered to the Property Trustee or its designee the required
        amount of Common Securities to be exchanged by 10:00 A.M. New York time,
        on the
        Distribution Date on which such exchange is to occur.

       

      SECTION
        4.10. Calculation
        Agent.

       

      (a) The
        Property Trustee shall initially, and, subject to the immediately following
        sentence, for so long as it holds any of the Notes, be the Calculation Agent
        for
        purposes of determining LIBOR for each Distribution Date. The Calculation
        Agent
        may be removed by the Administrative Trustees at any time. If the Calculation
        Agent is unable or unwilling to act as such or is removed by the Administrative
        Trustees, the Administrative Trustees will promptly appoint as a replacement
        Calculation Agent the London office of a leading bank which is engaged in
        transactions in three-month U.S. dollar deposits in Europe and which does
        not
        control or is not controlled by or under common control with the Administrative
        Trustee or its Affiliates. The Calculation Agent may not resign its duties
        without a successor having been duly appointed.

      
        
          
          

        

        
          21

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      (b) The
        Calculation Agent shall be required to agree that, as soon as possible after
        11:00 a.m. (London time) on each LIBOR Determination Date, but in no event
        later
        than 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the Business Day immediately following each
        LIBOR Determination Date, the Calculation Agent will calculate the interest
        rate
        and dollar amount (rounded to the nearest cent, with half a cent being rounded
        upwards) for the related Distribution Date, and will communicate such rate
        and
        amount to the Depositor, the Property Trustee, each Paying Agent and the
        Depositary. The Calculation Agent will also specify to the Administrative
        Trustees the quotations upon which the foregoing rates and amounts are based
        and, in any event, the Calculation Agent shall notify the Administrative
        Trustees before 5:00 p.m. (London time) on each LIBOR Determination Date
        that
        either: (i) it has determined or is in the process of determining the foregoing
        rates and amounts or (ii) it has not determined and is not in the process
        of
        determining the foregoing rates and amounts, together with its reasons therefor.
        The Calculation Agent’s determination of the foregoing rates and amounts for any
        Distribution Date will (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding
        upon all parties. For the sole purpose of calculating the interest rate for
        the
        Trust Securities, “Business Day” shall be defined as any day on which dealings
        in deposits in Dollars are transacted in the London interbank
        market.

       

      SECTION
        4.11. Certain
        Accounting Matters.

       

      (a) At
        all
        times during the existence of the Trust, the Administrative Trustees shall
        keep,
        or cause to be kept at the principal office of the Trust in the United States,
        as defined for purposes of Treasury Regulations section 301.7701-7, full
        books
        of account, records and supporting documents, which shall reflect in reasonable
        detail each transaction of the Trust. The books of account shall be maintained
        on the accrual method of accounting, in accordance with generally accepted
        accounting principles, consistently applied.

       

      (b) The
        Administrative Trustees shall either (i) if the Depositor is then subject
        to
        such reporting requirements, cause each Form 10-K and Form 10-Q prepared
        by the
        Depositor and filed with the Commission in accordance with the Exchange Act
        to
        be delivered to each Holder, with a copy to the Property Trustee, within
        thirty
        (30) days after the filing thereof or (ii) cause to be prepared at the principal
        office of the Trust in the United States, as defined for purposes of Treasury
        Regulations section 301.7701-7, and delivered to each of the Holders, with
        a
        copy to the Property Trustee, within ninety (90) days after the end of each
        Fiscal Year, annual financial statements of the Trust, including a balance
        sheet
        of the Trust as of the end of such Fiscal Year, and the related statements
        of
        income or loss.

       

      (c) The
        Trust
        shall maintain one or more bank accounts in the United States, as defined
        for
        purposes of Treasury Regulations section 301.7701-7, in the name and for
        the
        sole benefit of the Trust; provided,
        however,
        that
        all payments of funds in respect of the Notes held by the Property Trustee
        shall
        be made directly to the Payment Account and no other funds of the Trust shall
        be
        deposited in the Payment Account. The sole signatories for such accounts
        (including the Payment Account) shall be designated by the Property
        Trustee.

        no
        Trust Securities are Outstanding, the Depositor shall be the sole beneficial
        owner of the Trust.

       

      SECTION
        5.2. Authorized
        Trust Securities.

       

      The
        Trust
        shall be authorized to issue one series of Preferred Securities having an
        aggregate Liquidation Amount of thirty million dollars ($30,000,000) and
        one
        series of Common Securities having an aggregate Liquidation Amount of one
        hundred thousand dollars ($100,000).

       

      SECTION
        5.3. Issuance
        of the Common Securities; Subscription and Purchase of Notes.

       

      On
        the
        Closing Date, an Administrative Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall execute
        and deliver to the Depositor Common Securities Certificates, registered in
        the
        name of the Depositor, evidencing an aggregate of 100 Common Securities having
        an aggregate Liquidation Amount of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000),
        against receipt by the Trust of the aggregate purchase price of such Common
        Securities of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000). Contemporaneously
        therewith and with the sale by the Trust to the Holders of an aggregate of
        thirty thousand (30,000) Preferred Securities having an aggregate Liquidation
        Amount of thirty million dollars ($30,000,000), an Administrative Trustee,
        on
        behalf of the Trust, shall subscribe for and purchase from the Depositor
        Notes,
        to be registered in the name of the Property Trustee on behalf of the Trust
        and
        having an aggregate principal amount equal to thirty million one hundred
        thousand dollars ($30,100,000), and, in satisfaction of the purchase price
        for
        such Notes, the Property Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall deliver to
        the
        Depositor the sum of thirty million one hundred thousand dollars ($30,100,000)
        (being the aggregate amount paid by the Holders for the Preferred Securities
        and
        the amount paid by the Depositor for the Common Securities).

       

      SECTION
        5.4. The
        Securities Certificates.

       

      (a) The
        Preferred Securities Certificates shall be issued in minimum denominations
        of
        one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) Liquidation Amount and integral
        multiples of one thousand dollars ($1,000) in excess thereof, and the Common
        Securities Certificates shall be issued in minimum denominations of ten thousand
        dollars ($10,000) Liquidation Amount and integral multiples of one thousand
        dollars ($1,000) in excess thereof. The Securities Certificates shall be
        executed on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile signature of at least
        one
        Administrative Trustee. Securities Certificates bearing the signatures of
        individuals who were, at the time when such signatures shall have been affixed,
        authorized to sign such Securities Certificates 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 delivery of such Securities Certificates or did not
        have
        such authority at the date of delivery of such Securities
        Certificates.

      
        
          
          

        

        
          23

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      (b) On
        the
        Closing Date, upon the written order of an authorized officer of the Depositor,
        the Administrative Trustees shall cause Securities Certificates to be executed
        on behalf of the Trust and delivered, without further corporate action by
        the
        Depositor, in authorized denominations.

       

      (c) Preferred
        Securities issued on the Closing Date to QIBS shall be issued as directed
        by the
        Purchaser on or prior to the Closing Date, either (i) in the form of one
        or more
        Global Preferred Securities Certificates or (ii) in the form of one or more
        Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates. Global Preferred Securities
        shall
        be, except as provided in Section 5.6,
        Book-Entry Preferred Securities issued in the form of one or more Global
        Preferred Securities registered in the name of the Depositary, or its nominee
        and deposited with the Depositary or the Property Trustee as custodian for
        the
        Depositary for credit by the Depositary to the respective accounts of the
        Depositary Participants thereof (or such other accounts as they may direct).
        The
        Preferred Securities issued to a Person other than a QIB shall be issued
        in the
        form of Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates.

       

      (d) A
        Preferred Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual
        signature of a Responsible Officer of the Property Trustee. Such signature
        shall
        be conclusive evidence that the Preferred Security has been authenticated
        under
        this Trust Agreement. Upon written order of the Trust signed by one
        Administrative Trustee, the Property Trustee shall authenticate and deliver
        one
        or more Preferred Security Certificates evidencing the Preferred Securities
        for
        original issue. The Property Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent
        that is
        a U.S. Person acceptable to the Trust to authenticate the Preferred Securities.
        A Common Security need not be so authenticated and shall be valid upon execution
        by one or more Administrative Trustees. The form of this certificate of
        authentication can be found in Section 5.13.

       

      (e) Upon
        issuance of the Trust Securities as provided in this Trust Agreement, the
        Trust
        Securities so issued shall be deemed to be validly issued, fully paid and
        nonassessable, and each Holder thereof shall be entitled to the benefits
        provided by this Trust Agreement.

       

      SECTION
        5.5. Rights
        of
        Holders.

       

      The
        Trust
        Securities shall have no, and the issuance of the Trust Securities is not
        subject to, preemptive or similar rights and when issued and delivered to
        Holders against payment of the purchase price therefor will be fully paid
        and
        non-assessable by the Trust. Except as provided in Section
        5.11(b),
        the
        Holders of the Trust Securities, in their capacities as such, shall be entitled
        to the same limitation of personal liability extended to stockholders of
        private
        corporations for profit organized under the General Corporation Law of the
        State
        of Delaware.

      SECTION
        5.6. Book-Entry
        Preferred Securities.

       

      (a) A
        Global
        Preferred Security may be exchanged, in whole or in part, for Definitive
        Preferred Securities Certificates registered in the names of the Owners only
        if
        such exchange complies with Section
        5.7
        and (i)
        the Depositary advises the Administrative Trustees and the Property Trustee
        in
        writing that the Depositary is no longer willing or able properly to discharge
        its responsibilities with respect to the Global Preferred Security, and no
        qualified successor is appointed by the Administrative Trustees within ninety
        (90) days of receipt of such notice, (ii) the Depositary ceases to be a clearing
        agency registered under the Exchange Act and the Administrative Trustees
        fail to
        appoint a qualified successor within ninety (90) days of obtaining knowledge
        of
        such event, (iii) the Administrative Trustees at their option advise the
        Property Trustee in writing that the Trust elects to terminate the book-entry
        system through the Depositary or (iv) a Note Event of Default has occurred
        and
        is continuing. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in clause (i),
        (ii),
        (iii) or (iv) above, the Administrative Trustees shall notify the Depositary
        and
        instruct the Depositary to notify all Owners of Book-Entry Preferred Securities,
        the Delaware Trustee and the Property Trustee of the occurrence of such event
        and of the availability of the Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates
        to
        Owners of the Preferred Securities requesting the same. Upon the issuance
        of
        Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates, the Trustees shall recognize
        the
        Holders of the Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates as Holders.
        Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Owner of a beneficial interest in a
        Global
        Preferred Security wishes at any time to transfer an interest in such Global
        Preferred Security to a Person other than a QIB, such transfer shall be
        effected, subject to the Applicable Depositary Procedures, in accordance
        with
        the provisions of this Section
        5.6
        and
Section
        5.7,
        and the
        transferee shall receive a Definitive Preferred Securities Certificate in
        connection with such transfer. A holder of a Definitive Preferred Securities
        Certificate that is a QIB may, upon request, and in accordance with the
        provisions of this Section
        5.6
        and
Section
        5.7,
        exchange such Definitive Preferred Securities Certificate for a beneficial
        interest in a Global Preferred Security.

       

      (b) If
        any
        Global Preferred Security is to be exchanged for Definitive Preferred Securities
        Certificates or canceled in part, or if any Definitive Preferred Securities
        Certificate is to be exchanged in whole or in part for any Global Preferred
        Security, then either (i) such Global Preferred Security shall be so surrendered
        for exchange or cancellation as provided in this Article V
        or (ii)
        the aggregate Liquidation Amount represented by such Global Preferred Security
        shall be reduced, subject to Section
        5.4,
        or
        increased by an amount equal to the Liquidation Amount represented by that
        portion of the Global Preferred Security to be so exchanged or canceled,
        or
        equal to the Liquidation Amount represented by such Definitive Preferred
        Securities Certificates to be so exchanged for any Global Preferred Security,
        as
        the case may be, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records
        of
        the Securities Registrar, whereupon the Property Trustee, in accordance with
        the
        Applicable Depositary Procedures, shall instruct the Depositary or its
        authorized representative to make a corresponding adjustment to its records.
        Upon any such surrender to the Administrative Trustees or the Securities
        Registrar of any Global Preferred Security or Securities by the Depositary,
        accompanied by registration instructions, the Administrative Trustees, or
        any
        one of them, shall execute the Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates
        in
        accordance with the instructions of the Depositary, and the Property Trustee,
        upon receipt thereof, shall authenticate and deliver such Definitive Preferred
        Securities Certificates. None of the Securities Registrar or the Trustees
        shall
        be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively
        rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, such
        instructions.

      
        
          
          

        

        
          25

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      (c) Every
        Securities Certificate executed and delivered upon registration or transfer
        of,
        or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Preferred Security or any portion
        thereof shall be executed and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global
        Preferred Security, unless such Securities Certificate is registered in the
        name
        of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Preferred Security
        or a
        nominee thereof.

       

      (d) The
        Depositary or its nominee, as registered owner of a Global Preferred Security,
        shall be the Holder of such Global Preferred Security for all purposes under
        this Trust Agreement and the Global Preferred Security, and Owners with respect
        to a Global Preferred Security shall hold such interests pursuant to the
        Applicable Depositary Procedures. The Securities Registrar and the Trustees
        shall be entitled to deal with the Depositary for all purposes of this Trust
        Agreement relating to the Global Preferred Securities (including the payment
        of
        the Liquidation Amount of and Distributions on the Book-Entry Preferred
        Securities represented thereby and the giving of instructions or directions
        by
        Owners of Book-Entry Preferred Securities represented thereby and the giving
        of
        notices) as the sole Holder of the Book-Entry Preferred Securities represented
        thereby and shall have no obligations to the Owners thereof. None of the
        Trustees nor the Securities Registrar shall have any liability in respect
        of any
        transfers effected by the Depositary.

       

      (e) The
        rights of the Owners of the Book-Entry Preferred Securities shall be exercised
        only through the Depositary and shall be limited to those established by
        law,
        the Applicable Depositary Procedures and agreements between such Owners and
        the
        Depositary and/or the Depositary Participants; provided, that, solely for
        the
        purpose of determining whether the Holders of the requisite amount of Preferred
        Securities have voted on any matter provided for in this Trust Agreement,
        to the
        extent that Preferred Securities are represented by a Global Preferred Security,
        the Trustees may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying
        on, any written instrument (including a proxy) delivered to the Property
        Trustee
        by the Depositary setting forth the Owners’ votes or assigning the right to vote
        on any matter to any other Persons either in whole or in part. To the extent
        that Preferred Securities are represented by a Global Preferred Security,
        the
        Depositary will make book-entry transfers among the Depositary Participants
        and
        receive and transmit payments on the Preferred Securities that are represented
        by a Global Preferred Security to such Depositary Participants, and none
        of the
        Depositor or the Trustees shall have any responsibility or obligation with
        respect thereto.

       

      (f) To
        the
        extent that a notice or other communication to the Holders is required under
        this Trust Agreement, for so long as Preferred Securities are represented
        by a
        Global Preferred Security, the Trustees shall give all such notices and
        communications to the Depositary, and shall have no obligations to the
        Owners.

       

      SECTION
        5.7. Registration
        of Transfer and Exchange of Preferred Securities Certificates.

       

      (a) The
        Property Trustee shall keep or cause to be kept, at the Corporate Trust Office,
        a register or registers (the “Securities Register”) in which the registrar and
        transfer agent with respect to the Trust Securities (the “Securities
        Registrar”), subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, shall
        provide for the registration of Preferred Securities Certificates and Common
        Securities Certificates and registration of transfers and exchanges of Preferred
        Securities Certificates as herein provided. The Property Trustee shall at
        all
        times also be the Securities Registrar. The provisions of Article
        VIII
        shall
        apply to the Property Trustee in its role as Securities
        Registrar.

      
        
          
          

        

        
          26

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      (b) Subject
        to Section 5.7(d), upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Preferred
        Securities Certificate at the office or agency maintained pursuant to
Section
        5.7(f),
        the
        Administrative Trustees or any one of them shall execute by manual or facsimile
        signature and deliver to the Property Trustee, and upon receipt thereof the
        Property Trustee shall 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 as may be
        required by this Trust Agreement dated the date of execution by such
        Administrative Trustee or Trustees. At the option of a Holder, Preferred
        Securities Certificates may be exchanged for other Preferred Securities
        Certificates in authorized denominations and of a like aggregate Liquidation
        Amount upon surrender of the Preferred Securities Certificate to be exchanged
        at
        the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 5.7(f).
        Whenever any Preferred Securities Certificates are so surrendered for exchange,
        the Administrative Trustees or any one of them shall execute by manual or
        facsimile signature and deliver to the Property Trustee, and upon receipt
        thereof the Property Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Preferred
        Securities Certificates that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to
        receive.

       

      (c) The
        Securities Registrar shall not be required, (i) to issue, register the transfer
        of or exchange any Preferred Security during a period beginning at the opening
        of business fifteen (15) days before the day of selection for redemption
        of such
        Preferred Securities pursuant to Article
        IV
        and
        ending at the close of business on the day of mailing of the notice of
        redemption or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Preferred
        Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case
        of
        any such Preferred Security to be redeemed in part, any portion thereof not
        to
        be redeemed.

       

      (d) Every
        Preferred Securities Certificate presented or surrendered for registration
        of
        transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written
        instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities Registrar duly
        executed by the Holder or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing and
        (i) if such Preferred Securities Certificate is being transferred otherwise
        than
        to a QIB, accompanied by a certificate of the transferee substantially in
        the
        form set forth as Exhibit
        E
        hereto
        or (ii) if such Preferred Securities Certificate is being transferred to
        a QIB,
        accompanied by a certificate of the transferor substantially in the form
        set
        forth as Exhibit
        F
        hereto.

       

      (e) No
        service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange
        of
        Preferred Securities Certificates, but the Property Trustee on behalf of
        the
        Trust 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.

       

      (f) The
        Administrative Trustees shall designate an office or offices or agency or
        agencies where Preferred Securities Certificates may be surrendered for
        registration of transfer or exchange, and initially designate the Corporate
        Trust Office as its office and agency for such purposes. The Administrative
        Trustees shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor, the Property
        Trustee
        and to the Holders of any change in the location of any such office or
        agency.

      SECTION
        5.8. Mutilated,
        Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Securities Certificates.

       

      (a) If
        any
        mutilated Securities Certificate shall be surrendered to the Securities
        Registrar together with such security or indemnity as may be required by
        the
        Securities Registrar and the Administrative Trustees to save each of them
        harmless, the Administrative Trustees, or any one of them, on behalf of the
        Trust, shall execute and make available for delivery and, with respect to
        Preferred Securities, the Property Trustee shall authenticate, in exchange
        therefor a new Securities Certificate of like class, tenor and
        denomination.

       

      (b) If
        the
        Securities Registrar shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the
        destruction, loss or theft of any Securities Certificate and 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 Securities Certificate shall have
        been
        acquired by a protected purchaser, the Administrative Trustees, or any one
        of
        them, on behalf of the Trust, shall execute and make available for delivery,
        and, with respect to Preferred Securities, the Property Trustee shall
        authenticate, in exchange for or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen
        Securities Certificate, a new Securities Certificate of like class, tenor
        and
        denomination.

       

      (c) In
        connection with the issuance of any new Securities Certificate under this
        Section
        5.8,
        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.

       

      (d) Any
        duplicate Securities Certificate issued pursuant to this Section
        5.8
        shall
        constitute conclusive evidence of an undivided beneficial interest in the
        assets
        of the Trust corresponding to that evidenced by the mutilated, lost, stolen
        or
        destroyed Securities Certificate, as if originally issued, whether or not
        the
        lost, stolen or destroyed Securities Certificate shall be found at any
        time.

       

      (e) If
        any
        such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities Certificate has become
        or
        is about to become due and payable, the Depositor in its discretion may,
        instead
        of issuing a new Trust Security, pay such Trust Security.

       

      (f) The
        provisions of this Section
        5.8
        are
        exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and
        remedies with respect to the replacement of mutilated, destroyed, lost or
        stolen
        Securities Certificates.

       

      (g) With
        respect to Preferred Securities issued to QIBs in the form of one or more
        Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates as provided in Section 5.4(c),
        and
        any subsequent transfers thereof, the Depositor and the Trust shall use all
        commercially reasonable efforts to make such Preferred Securities eligible
        for
        clearance and settlement as Book-Entry Preferred Securities through the
        facilities of the Depositary and listed for trading through the PORTAL Market,
        and will execute, deliver and comply with all representations made to, and
        agreements with, the Depositary and the PORTAL Market in connection
        therewith.

      The
        Trustees and the Securities Registrar shall each treat the Person in whose

        any Securities Certificate shall be registered in the Securities Register
        as the
        owner of the Trust Securities evidenced by such Securities Certificate for
        the
        purpose of receiving Distributions and for all other purposes whatsoever,
        and
        none of the Trustees and the Securities Registrar shall be bound by any notice
        to the contrary.

       

      SECTION
        5.10. Cancellation.

       

      All
        Preferred Securities Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer
        or
        exchange or for payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the
        Property Trustee, be delivered to the Property Trustee, and any such Preferred
        Securities Certificates and Preferred Securities Certificates surrendered
        directly to the Property Trustee for any such purpose shall be promptly canceled
        by it. The Administrative Trustees may at any time deliver to the Property
        Trustee for cancellation any Preferred Securities Certificates previously
        delivered hereunder that the Administrative Trustees may have acquired in
        any
        manner whatsoever, and all Preferred Securities Certificates so delivered
        shall
        be promptly canceled by the Property Trustee. No Preferred Securities
        Certificates shall be executed and delivered in lieu of or in exchange for
        any
        Preferred Securities Certificates canceled as provided in this Section
        5.10,
        except
        as expressly permitted by this Trust Agreement. All canceled Preferred
        Securities Certificates shall be disposed of by the Property Trustee in
        accordance with its customary practices and the Property Trustee shall deliver
        to the Administrative Trustees a certificate of such disposition.

       

      SECTION
        5.11. Ownership
        of Common Securities by Depositor.

       

      (a) On
        the
        Closing Date, the Depositor shall acquire, and thereafter shall retain,
        beneficial and record ownership of the Common Securities. Neither the Depositor
        nor any successor Holder of the Common Securities may transfer less than
        all the
        Common Securities, and the Depositor or any such successor Holder may transfer
        the Common Securities only (i) in connection with a consolidation or merger
        of
        the Depositor into another Person, or any conveyance, transfer or lease by
        the
        Depositor of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any
        Person (in which event such Common Securities will be transferred to such
        surviving entity, transferee or lessee, as the case may be), pursuant to
        Section
        8.1
        of the
        Indenture or (ii) to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor, in each
        such case in compliance with applicable law (including the Securities Act,
        and
        applicable state securities and blue sky laws). To the fullest extent permitted
        by law, any attempted transfer of the Common Securities other than as set
        forth
        in the immediately preceding sentence shall be void. The Administrative Trustees
        shall cause each Common Securities Certificate issued to the Depositor to
        contain a legend stating substantially “THIS CERTIFICATE IS NOT TRANSFERABLE
        EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW AND SECTION 5.11 OF THE TRUST
        AGREEMENT.”

      (b) Any
        Holder of the Common Securities shall be liable for the debts and obligations
        of
        the Trust in the manner and to the extent set forth herein with respect to
        the
        Depositor and agrees that it shall be subject to all liabilities to which
        the
        Depositor may be subject and, prior to becoming such a Holder, shall deliver
        to
        the Administrative Trustees an instrument of assumption satisfactory to such
        Trustees.

        Legends.

       

      (a) Each
        Preferred Security Certificate shall bear a legend in substantially the
        following form:

      SECTION
        6.1. Notice
        of
        Meetings.

       

      Notice
        of
        all meetings of the Holders of the Preferred Securities, stating the time,
        place
        and purpose of the meeting, shall be given by the Property Trustee pursuant
        to
Section
        11.8
        to each
        Holder of Preferred Securities, at such Holder’s registered address, at least
        fifteen (15) days and not more than ninety (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
        6.2. Meetings
        of Holders of the Preferred Securities.

       

      (a) No
        annual
        meeting of Holders is required to be held. The Property Trustee, however,
        shall
        call a meeting of the Holders of the Preferred Securities to vote on any
        matter
        upon the written request of the Holders of at least twenty-five percent (25%)
        in
        aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Outstanding Preferred Securities and
        the
        Administrative Trustees or the Property Trustee may, at any time in their
        discretion, call a meeting of the Holders of the Preferred Securities to
        vote on
        any matters as to which such Holders are entitled to vote.

       

      (b) The
        Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred
        Securities, present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any
        meeting of the Holders of the Preferred Securities.

       

      (c) If
        a
        quorum is present at a meeting, an affirmative vote by the Holders present,
        in
        person or by proxy, holding Preferred Securities representing at least a
        Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities held by the Holders
        present, either in person or by proxy, at such meeting shall constitute the
        action of the Holders of the Preferred Securities, unless this Trust Agreement
        requires a lesser or greater number of affirmative votes.

       

      SECTION
        6.3. Voting
        Rights.

       

      Holders
        shall be entitled to one vote for each $10,000 of Liquidation Amount represented
        by their Outstanding Trust Securities in respect of any matter as to which
        such
        Holders are entitled to vote.

       

      SECTION
        6.4. Proxies,
        Etc.

       

      At
        any
        meeting of Holders, any Holder entitled to vote thereat 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 Holders 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 Holder 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
        6.5. Holder
        Action by Written Consent.

       

      Any
        action that may be taken by Holders at a meeting may be taken without a meeting
        and without prior notice if Holders holding at least a Majority in Liquidation
        Amount of all Preferred Securities entitled to vote in respect of such action
        (or such lesser or greater proportion thereof as shall be required by any
        other
        provision of this Trust Agreement) shall consent to the action in writing;
        provided, that notice of such action is promptly provided to the Holders
        of
        Preferred Securities that did not consent to such action. Any action that
        may be
        taken by the Holders of all the Common Securities may be taken without a
        meeting
        and without prior notice if such Holders shall consent to the action in
        writing.

       

      SECTION
        6.6. Record
        Date for Voting and Other Purposes.

       

      Except
        as
        provided in Section
        6.10(a),
        for the
        purposes of determining the Holders who are entitled to notice of and to
        vote at
        any meeting or to act 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
        ninety (90) days prior to the date of any meeting of Holders or the payment
        of a
        Distribution or other action, as the case may be, as a record date for the
        determination of the identity of the Holders of record for such
        purposes.

       

      SECTION
        6.7. Acts
        of
        Holders.

       

      (a) 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 Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of
        substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent
        thereof duly appointed in writing; and, except as otherwise expressly provided
        herein, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments
        are delivered to an Administrative Trustee. Such instrument or instruments
        (and
        the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred
        to as the “Act” of the Holders 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 conclusive in favor
        of
        the Trustees, if made in the manner provided in this Section
        6.7.

       

      (b) 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 such signer’s individual capacity, such
        certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of such signer’s
        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 that any Trustee receiving the same deems
        sufficient.

      
        
          
          

        

        
          34

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      (c) The
        ownership of Trust Securities shall be proved by the Securities
        Register.

       

      (d) Any
        request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
        Act
        of the Holder of any Trust Security shall bind every future Holder of the
        same
        Trust Security and the Holder 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,
        the
        Administrative Trustees or the Trust in reliance thereon, whether or not
        notation of such action is made upon such Trust Security.

       

      (e) Without
        limiting the foregoing, a Holder 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.

       

      (f) If
        any
        dispute shall arise among the Holders or the Trustees with respect to the
        authenticity, validity or binding nature of any request, demand, authorization,
        direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of such Holder 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
        6.8. Inspection
        of Records.

       

      Upon
        reasonable written notice to the Administrative Trustees and the Property
        Trustee, the records of the Trust shall be open to inspection by any Holder
        during normal business hours for any purpose reasonably related to such Holder’s
        interest as a Holder.

       

      SECTION
        6.9. Limitations
        on Voting Rights.

       

      (a) Except
        as
        expressly provided in this Trust Agreement and in the 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 Securities Certificates, be
        construed so as to constitute the Holders from time to time as partners or
        members of an association.

       

      (b) So
        long
        as any Notes are held by the Property Trustee on behalf of the Trust, the
        Property Trustee shall not (i) direct the time, method and place of conducting
        any proceeding for any remedy available to the Note Trustee, or exercise
        any
        trust or power conferred on the Property Trustee with respect to the Notes,
        (ii)
        waive any past default that may be waived under Section
        5.13
        of the
        Indenture, (iii) exercise any right to rescind or annul a declaration that
        the
        principal of all the Notes shall be due and payable or (iv) consent to any
        amendment, modification or termination of the Indenture or the Notes, where
        such
        consent shall be required, without, in each case, obtaining the prior approval
        of the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred
        Securities; provided, that where a consent under the Indenture would require
        the
        consent of each holder of Notes (or each Holder of Preferred Securities)
        affected thereby, no such consent shall be given by the Property Trustee
        without
        the prior written consent of each Holder of Preferred Securities. The Property
        Trustee shall not revoke any action previously authorized or approved by
        a vote
        of the Holders of the Preferred Securities, except by a subsequent vote of
        the
        Holders of the 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 Property Trustee shall, at the expense of the Depositor,
        obtain an Opinion of Counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that
        such
        action shall not cause the Trust to be taxable as a corporation or classified
        as
        other than a grantor trust for United States federal income tax
        purposes.

      
        
          
          

        

        
          35

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      (c) If
        any
        proposed amendment to the Trust Agreement provides for, or the Trustees
        otherwise propose to effect, (i) any action that would adversely affect in
        any
        material respect the powers, preferences or special rights of the Preferred
        Securities, whether by way of amendment to the 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 a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the
        Preferred Securities. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust
        Agreement, no amendment to this Trust Agreement may be made if, as a result
        of
        such amendment, it would cause the Trust to be taxable as a corporation or
        classified as other than a grantor trust for United States federal income
        tax
        purposes.

       

      SECTION
        6.10. Acceleration
        of Maturity; Rescission of Annulment; Waivers of Past Defaults.

       

      (a) For
        so
        long as any Preferred Securities remain Outstanding, if, upon a Note Event
        of
        Default, the Note Trustee fails or the holders of not less than twenty-five
        percent (25%) in principal amount of the outstanding Notes fail to declare
        the
        principal of all of the Notes to be immediately due and payable, the Holders
        of
        at least twenty-five percent (25%) in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred
        Securities then Outstanding shall have the right to make such declaration
        by a
        notice in writing to the Property Trustee, the Depositor and the Note Trustee.
        At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes
        has
        been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has
        been
        obtained by the Note Trustee as provided in the Indenture, the Holders of
        at
        least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities, by written
        notice to the Property Trustee, the Depositor and the Note Trustee, may rescind
        and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

       

      (i) the
        Depositor has paid or deposited with the Note Trustee a sum sufficient to
        pay:

       

      (A) all
        overdue installments of interest on all of the Notes;

      
        
          
          

        

        
          36

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      (B) any
        accrued Additional Interest on all of the Notes;

       

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

       

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

       

      (ii) all
        Note
        Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the principal of the Notes
        that
        has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as
        provided in Section
        5.13
        of the
        Indenture.

       

      Upon
        receipt by the Property Trustee of written notice requesting such an
        acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof, by Holders of any part
        of the
        Preferred Securities, a record date shall be established for determining
        Holders
        of Outstanding Preferred Securities entitled to join in such notice, which
        record date shall be at the close of business on the day the Property Trustee
        receives such notice. The Holders on such record date, or their duly designated
        proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such notice,
        whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided,
        that, unless such declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment,
        as
        the case may be, shall have become effective by virtue of the requisite
        percentage having joined in such notice prior to the day that is ninety (90)
        days after such record date, such notice of declaration of acceleration,
        or
        rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall automatically and without
        further action by any Holder be canceled and of no further effect. Nothing
        in
        this paragraph shall prevent a Holder, or a proxy of a Holder, from giving,
        after expiration of such ninety (90)-day period, a new written notice of
        declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof, as the
        case
        may be, that is identical to a written notice that has been canceled pursuant
        to
        the proviso to the preceding sentence, in which event a new record date shall
        be
        established pursuant to the provisions of this Section
        6.10(a).

       

      (b) For
        so
        long as any Preferred Securities remain Outstanding, to the fullest extent
        permitted by law and subject to the terms of this Trust Agreement and the
        Indenture, upon a Note Event of Default specified in paragraph (a) or (b)
        of
Section
        5.1
        of the
        Indenture, any Holder of Preferred Securities shall have the right to institute
        a proceeding directly against the Depositor or the Guarantor, pursuant to
        Section
        5.8
        of the
        Indenture, for enforcement of payment to such Holder of any amounts payable
        in
        respect of Notes having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate
        Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities of such Holder. Except as
        set
        forth in Section 6.10(a)
        and this
Section
        6.10(b),
        the
        Holders of Preferred Securities shall have no right to exercise directly
        any
        right or remedy available to the holders of, or in respect of, the
        Notes.

       

      (c) Notwithstanding
        paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section
        6.10,
        the
        Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities
        may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Preferred Securities, waive any
        Note
        Event of Default, except any Note Event of Default arising from the failure
        to
        pay any principal of or premium, if any, or interest on (including any
        Additional Interest) the Notes (unless such Note Event of Default has been
        cured
        and a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest and all
        principal and premium, if any, on all Notes due otherwise than by acceleration
        has been deposited with the Note Trustee) or a Note Event of Default in respect
        of a covenant or provision that under the Indenture cannot be modified or
        amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding Note. Upon
        any
        such waiver, such Note Event of Default shall cease to exist and any Note
        Event
        of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every
        purpose of the Indenture; but no such waiver shall affect any subsequent
        Note
        Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

      
        
          
          

        

        
          37

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      (d) Notwithstanding
        paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section
        6.10
        and
        subject to paragraph (c), the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation
        Amount of the Preferred Securities may, on behalf of the Holders of all the
        Preferred Securities, waive any Event of Default and its consequences. Upon
        such
        waiver, any such Event of Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of
        Default
        arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of
        this
        Trust Agreement, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other
        Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

       

      (e) The
        Holders of a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities shall
        have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding
        for any remedy available to the Property Trustee in respect of this Trust
        Agreement or the Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the
        Property Trustee under this Trust Agreement; provided, that, subject to
Sections
        8.5
        and
8.7,
        the
        Property Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction
        if
        the Property Trustee being advised by counsel determines that the action
        so
        directed may not lawfully be taken, or if the Property Trustee in good faith
        shall, by an officer or officers of the Property Trustee, determine that
        the
        proceedings so directed would be illegal or involve it in personal liability
        or
        be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders not party to such direction,
        and
        provided, further, that nothing in this Trust Agreement shall impair the
        right
        of the Property Trustee to take any action deemed proper by the Property
        Trustee
        and which is not inconsistent with such direction.

        against each of them in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable
        bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally
        and to general principles of equity and the discretion of the court (regardless
        of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law);

       

      (f) the
        execution, delivery and performance of this Trust Agreement have been duly
        authorized by all necessary corporate or other action on the part of the
        Property Trustee and the Delaware Trustee and do not require any approval
        of
        stockholders of the Property Trustee and the Delaware Trustee and such
        execution, delivery and performance will not (i) violate the Charter or By-laws
        of the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee or (ii) violate any applicable

        applicable to the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee;

       

      (g) neither
        the authorization, execution or delivery by the Property Trustee or the Delaware
        Trustee of this Trust Agreement nor the consummation of any of the transactions
        by the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee contemplated herein requires
        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 law of the United States or the State of Delaware governing
        the banking and trust powers of the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee,

        the case may be; and

       

      (h) to
        the
        best of each of the Property Trustee’s and the Delaware Trustee’s knowledge,
        there are no proceedings pending or threatened against or affecting the Property
        Trustee or the Delaware Trustee in any court or before any governmental
        authority, agency or arbitration board or tribunal that, individually or

        as
        the case may be, to enter into or perform its obligations as one of the Trustees

      SECTION
        8.1. Number
        of
        Trustees.

       

      The
        number of Trustees shall be five (5), provided, that the Property Trustee
        and
        the Delaware Trustee may be the same Person, in which case the number of
        Trustees shall be four (4). The number of Trustees may be increased or decreased
        by Act of the Holder of the Common Securities subject to Sections
        8.2,
        8.3,
        and
8.4.
        The
        death, resignation, retirement, removal, bankruptcy, incompetence or incapacity
        to perform the duties of a Trustee shall not operate to annul, dissolve or
        terminate the Trust.

      
        
          
          

        

        
          40

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      SECTION
        8.2. Property
        Trustee Required.

       

      There
        shall at all times be a Property Trustee hereunder with respect to the Trust
        Securities. The Property Trustee shall be a corporation organized and doing
        business under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof, authorized
        to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus
        of at
        least fifty million dollars ($50,000,000), subject to supervision or examination
        by federal or state authority and having an office within the United States.
        If
        any such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually pursuant
        to law
        or to the requirements of its supervising or examining authority, then for
        the
        purposes of this Section 8.2,
        the
        combined capital and surplus of such Person 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 Property Trustee shall cease to be eligible
        in
        accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.2,
        it
        shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified
        in this Article
        VIII.

       

      SECTION
        8.3. Delaware
        Trustee Required.

       

      (a) If
        required by the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, there shall at all times be
        a
        Delaware Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities. The Delaware Trustee
        shall either be (i) a natural person who is at least 21 years of age and
        a
        resident of the State of Delaware or (ii) a legal entity that has its principal
        place of business in the State of Delaware, otherwise meets the requirements
        of
        applicable Delaware law and shall act through one or more persons authorized
        to
        bind such entity. If at any time the Delaware Trustee shall cease to be eligible
        in accordance with the provisions of this Section
        8.3,
        it
        shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified
        in this Article
        VIII.

       

      (b) The
        Delaware Trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any powers, nor shall
        the
        Delaware Trustee have any of the duties and responsibilities, of the Property
        Trustee or the Administrative Trustees set forth herein. The Delaware Trustee
        shall be one of the trustees of the Trust for the sole and limited purpose
        of
        fulfilling the requirements of Section 3807 of the Delaware Statutory Trust
        Act
        and for taking such actions as are required to be taken by a Delaware trustee
        under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act. The duties (including fiduciary duties),
        liabilities and obligations of the Delaware Trustee shall be limited to (a)
        accepting legal process served on the Trust in the State of Delaware and
        (b) the
        execution of any certificates required to be filed with the Secretary of
        State
        of the State of Delaware that the Delaware Trustee is required to execute
        under
        Section 3811 of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act and there shall be no other
        duties (including fiduciary duties) or obligations, express or implied, at
        law
        or in equity, of the Delaware Trustee.

       

      SECTION
        8.4. Appointment
        of Administrative Trustees.

       

      (a) There
        shall at all times be one or more Administrative Trustees hereunder with
        respect
        to the Trust Securities. Each Administrative Trustee shall be either a natural
        person who is at least 21 years of age or a legal entity that shall act through
        one or more persons authorized to bind that entity. Each of the individuals
        identified as an “Administrative Trustee” in the preamble of this Trust
        Agreement hereby accepts his or her appointment as such.

      
        
          
          

        

        
          41

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      (b) Except
        where a requirement for action by a specific number of Administrative Trustees
        is expressly set forth in this Trust Agreement, any act required or permitted
        to
        be taken by, and any power of the Administrative Trustees may be exercised
        by,
        or with the consent of, any one such Administrative Trustee. 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
        8.11,
        the
        Administrative Trustees in office, regardless of their number (and
        notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust Agreement), shall have
        all the
        powers granted to the Administrative Trustees and shall discharge all the
        duties
        imposed upon the Administrative Trustees by this Trust Agreement.

       

      SECTION
        8.5. Duties
        and Responsibilities of the Trustees.

       

      (a) The
        rights, immunities, duties and responsibilities of the Trustees shall be
        as
        provided by this Trust Agreement and there shall be no other duties (including
        fiduciary duties) or obligations, express or implied, at law or in equity,
        of
        the Trustees; provided, however, that if an Event of Default known to the
        Property Trustee has occurred and is continuing, the Property Trustee shall,
        prior to the receipt of directions, if any, from the Holders of at least
        a
        Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities, exercise such
        of the
        rights and powers vested in it by this Trust Agreement, and use the same
        degree
        of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or
        use
        under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.
        Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Trust Agreement shall
        require any of the Trustees to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise
        incur
        any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder,
        or in
        the exercise of any of its or their rights or powers, if it or 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 it.
        Whether or not herein 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
        8.5.
        To the
        extent that, at law or in equity, a Trustee has duties and liabilities relating
        to the Trust or to the Holders, such Trustee shall not be liable to the Trust
        or
        to any Holder for such Trustee’s good faith reliance on the provisions of this
        Trust Agreement. The provisions of this Trust Agreement, to the extent that
        they
        restrict the duties and liabilities of the Trustees otherwise existing at
        law or
        in equity, are agreed by the Depositor, the Guarantor and the Holders to
        replace
        such other duties and liabilities of the Trustees.

       

      (b) All
        payments made by the Property Trustee or a Paying Agent in respect of the
        Trust
        Securities shall be made only from the revenue and proceeds from the Trust
        Property and only to the extent that there shall be sufficient revenue or
        proceeds from the Trust Property to enable the Property Trustee or a Paying
        Agent to make payments in accordance with the terms hereof. Each Holder,
        by its
        acceptance of a Trust Security, agrees that it will look solely to the revenue
        and proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent legally available for
        distribution to it as herein provided and that the Trustees 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
        8.5(b)
        does not
        limit the liability of the Trustees expressly set forth elsewhere in this
        Trust
        Agreement.

       

      (c) No
        provisions of this Trust Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Property
        Trustee from liability with respect to matters that are within the authority
        of
        the Property Trustee under this Trust Agreement for its own negligent action,
        negligent failure to act or willful misconduct, except that:

      
        
          
          

        

        
          42

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

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

       

      (ii) the
        Property 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 at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities
        relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any
        remedy available to the Property Trustee hereunder or under the Indenture,
        or
        exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Property Trustee under this
        Trust Agreement;

       

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

       

      (iv) the
        Property Trustee shall not be liable for any interest on any money received
        by
        it; and money held by the Property Trustee need not be segregated from other
        funds held by it except in relation to the Payment Account maintained by
        the
        Property Trustee pursuant to Section 3.1 and except to the extent otherwise
        required by law; and

       

      (v) the
        Property Trustee shall not be responsible for monitoring the compliance by
        the
        Administrative Trustees, the Guarantor or the Depositor with their respective
        duties under this Trust Agreement, nor shall the Property Trustee be liable
        for
        the default or misconduct of any other Trustee, the Guarantor or the
        Depositor.

       

      SECTION
        8.6. Notices
        of Defaults and Extensions.

       

      (a) Within
        ninety (90) days after the occurrence of a default actually known to the
        Property Trustee, the Property Trustee shall transmit notice of such default
        to
        the Holders, the Administrative Trustees, the Guarantor and the Depositor,
        unless such default shall have been cured or waived; provided, that, except
        in
        the case of a default in the payment of the principal of or any premium or
        interest (including any Additional Interest) on any Trust Security, the Property
        Trustee shall be fully 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 Property Trustee in good faith
        determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the
        Holders of the Trust Securities. For the purpose of this Section
        8.6,
        the
        term “default” means any event that is, or after notice or lapse of time or both
        would become, an Event of Default.

       

      (b) RESERVED.
        

       

      (c) The
        Property Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any default or
        Event
        of Default unless the Property Trustee shall have received written notice
        thereof from the Depositor, the Guarantor, any Administrative Trustee or
        any
        Holder or unless a Responsible Officer of the Property Trustee shall have
        obtained actual knowledge of such default or Event of Default.

      
        
          
          

        

        
          43

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      (d) The
        Property Trustee shall notify all Holders of the Preferred Securities of
        any
        notice of default received with respect to the Notes.

       

      SECTION
        8.7. Certain
        Rights of Property Trustee.

       

      Subject
        to the provisions of Section
        8.5:

       

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

       

      (b) if
        (i) in
        performing its duties under this Trust Agreement the Property Trustee is
        required to decide between alternative courses of action, (ii) in construing
        any
        of the provisions of this Trust Agreement the Property Trustee finds a provision
        ambiguous or inconsistent with any other provisions contained herein or (iii)
        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 Holders of the
        Preferred Securities are entitled to vote under the terms of this Trust
        Agreement, the Property Trustee shall deliver a notice to the Depositor
        requesting the Depositor’s written instruction as to the course of action to be
        taken and 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

        time set forth in such notice, the Property Trustee may, but shall be under
        no
        duty to, take such action, or refrain from taking such action, as the Property
        Trustee shall deem advisable and in the best interests of the Holders, in
        which
        event the Property Trustee shall have no liability except for its own
        negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct;

        the
        Property Trustee, the Depositor or the Guarantor or any of the Depositor’s or
        the Guarantor’s Affiliates, and may include any of its employees) and the advice
        of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in
        respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good
        faith
        and in reliance thereon and in accordance with such advice; the Property
        Trustee
        shall have the right at any time to seek instructions concerning the
        administration of this Trust Agreement from any court of competent
        jurisdiction;

       

      (g) 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 Holders pursuant to this Trust Agreement, unless such Holders shall
        have
        offered to the Property Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against
        the
        costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and
        liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request
        or
        direction, including reasonable advances as may be requested by the Property

        note or other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, unless
        requested in writing to do so by one or more Holders, but the Property Trustee
        may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters
        as it
        may see fit, and, if the Property Trustee shall determine to make such inquiry
        or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and
        premises of the Depositor, personally or by agent or attorney;

       

      (i) the
        Property Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform

        or
        nominee appointed with due care by it hereunder;

       

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

       

      (k) except
        as
        otherwise expressly provided by this Trust Agreement, the Property Trustee

        not be under any obligation to take any action that is discretionary under
        the
        provisions of this Trust Agreement;

       

      (l) without
        prejudice to any other rights available to the Property Trustee under applicable
        law, when the Property Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection
        with a Bankruptcy Event, such expenses (including legal fees and expenses
        of its
        agents and counsel) and the compensation for such services are intended to
        constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law or law relating
        to creditors rights generally; and

      
        
          
          

        

        
          45

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      (m) whenever
        in the administration of this Trust Agreement the Property Trustee shall
        deem it
        desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering
        or
        omitting any action hereunder, the Property Trustee (unless other evidence
        be
        herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part,
        request and rely on an Officer’s Certificate which, upon receipt of such
        request, shall be promptly delivered by the Depositor.

       

      No
        provision of this Trust Agreement shall be deemed to impose any duty or
        obligation on any Trustee to perform any act or acts or exercise any right,
        power, duty or obligation conferred or imposed on it, in any jurisdiction
        in
        which it shall be illegal, or in which such Person shall be unqualified or
        incompetent in accordance with applicable law, to perform any such act or
        acts,
        or to exercise any such right, power, duty or obligation.

       

      SECTION
        8.8. Delegation

        its, his or her power for the purpose of executing any documents contemplated
        in
Section
        2.5.
        The
        Trustees shall have power to delegate from time to time to such of their
        number
        or to the Depositor the doing of such things and the execution of such
        instruments either in the name of the Trust or the names of the Trustees
        or
        otherwise as the Trustees may deem expedient, to the extent such delegation
        is
        not prohibited by applicable law or contrary to the provisions of this Trust
        Agreement.

       

      SECTION
        8.9. May
        Hold
        Securities.

       

      Any
        Trustee or any other agent of any Trustee or the Trust, in its individual

        other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Trust Securities and except
        as provided in the definition of the term “Outstanding” in Article
        I,
        may
        otherwise deal with the Trust with the same rights it would have if it were
        not
        a Trustee or such other agent.

       

      SECTION
        8.10. Compensation;
        Reimbursement; Indemnity.

       

      The

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

       

      (b) 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 gross negligence,
        bad
        faith or willful misconduct; and

      
        
          
          

        

        
          46

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      (c) to
        the
        fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to indemnify and hold harmless
        (i)
        each Trustee (including in its individual capacity), (ii) any Affiliate of
        any
        Trustee, (iii) any officer, director, shareholder, employee, representative
        or
        agent of any Trustee or any Affiliate of any Trustee and (iv) any employee
        or
        agent of the Trust (referred to herein as an “Indemnified Person”) from and

        taxes imposed on amounts paid pursuant to Section
        8.10(a)
        or
(b)
        hereof),
        penalty, expense or claim of any kind or nature whatsoever incurred without
        negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on its part, arising out of or
        in
        connection with the acceptance or administration of the Trust hereunder,
        including the advancement of funds to cover the reasonable costs and expenses
        of

        or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder.

       

      The
        Trust
        shall have no payment, reimbursement or indemnity obligations to the Trustees
        under this Section
        8.10.
        The
        provisions of this Section
        8.10
        shall
        survive the termination of this Trust Agreement and the earlier removal or
        resignation of any Trustee.

       

      No
        Trustee may claim any Lien on any Trust Property whether before or after
        termination of the Trust as a result of any amount due pursuant to this
Section
        8.10.

       

      To
        the
        fullest extent permitted by law, in no event shall the Property Trustee and
        the
        Delaware Trustee be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential
        loss or damage of any kind whatsoever, including, but not limited to, lost
        profits, even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss
        or
        damage and regardless of the form of action. 

       

      In
        no
        event shall the Property Trustee and the Delaware Trustee be liable for any
        failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder because
        of
        circumstances beyond its control, including, but not limited to, acts of
        God,
        flood, war (whether declared or undeclared), terrorism, fire, riot, embargo,

        services contemplated by this Trust Agreement. 

       

      SECTION
        8.11. Resignation
        and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

       

      (a) No

        8.12.

       

      (b) A
        Trustee
        may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor
        and, in
        the case of the Property Trustee and the Delaware Trustee, to the
        Holders.

       

      (c) Unless
        an
        Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Property Trustee
        or
        the Delaware Trustee, or both of them, may be removed (with or without cause)
        at
        any time by Act of the Holder of Common Securities. If an Event of Default
        shall
        have occurred and be continuing, the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee,
        or both of them, may be removed (with or without cause) at such time by Act
        of
        the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred
        Securities, delivered to the removed Trustee (in its individual capacity
        and on
        behalf of the Trust). An Administrative Trustee may be removed (with or without
        cause) only by Act of the Holder of the Common Securities at any
        time.

      (d) If
        any
        Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting as Trustee,
        or if
        a vacancy shall occur in the office of any Trustee for any reason, at a time
        when no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Holder
        of
        the Common Securities, by Act of the Holder of the Common Securities, shall
        promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees, and such successor Trustee
        and
        the retiring Trustee shall comply with the applicable requirements of
Section
        8.12.
        If the
        Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall resign, be removed or become
        incapable of continuing to act as the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee,
        as the case may be, at a time when an Event of Default shall have occurred
        and
        be continuing, the Holders of the Preferred Securities, by Act of the Holders
        of
        a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities, shall promptly
        appoint a successor Property Trustee or Delaware Trustee, and such successor
        Property Trustee or Delaware Trustee and the retiring Property Trustee or
        Delaware Trustee shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section
        8.12.
        If an
        Administrative Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting
        as
        Administrative Trustee, at a time when an Event of Default shall have occurred
        and be continuing, the Holder of the Common Securities by Act of the Holder
        of
        Common Securities shall promptly appoint a successor Administrative Trustee
        and
        such successor Administrative Trustee and the retiring Administrative Trustee
        shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section
        8.12.
        If no
        successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Holder of the Common
        Securities or Holders of the Preferred Securities, as the case may be, and
        accepted appointment in the manner required by Section
        8.12
        within
        thirty (30) days after the giving of a notice of resignation by a Trustee,
        the
        removal of a Trustee, or a Trustee becoming incapable of acting as such Trustee,
        any Holder who has been a Holder of Preferred Securities for at least six
        (6)
        months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, and any
        resigning Trustee may, in each case, at the expense of the Depositor, petition
        any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

        Trustee or the Delaware Trustee and each appointment of a successor Property

        Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office if it is the Property
        Trustee.

       

      (f) 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, in the opinion of the Holder of Common Securities, incompetent or
        incapacitated, the vacancy created by such death, incompetence or incapacity
        may
        be filled by (i) the unanimous act of the remaining Administrative Trustees
        if
        there are at least two of them or (ii) otherwise by the Holder of the Common
        Securities (with the successor in each case being a Person who satisfies
        the
        eligibility requirement for Administrative Trustees or Delaware Trustee,
        as the
        case may be, set forth in Sections
        8.3
        and

      SECTION
        8.12. Acceptance
        of Appointment by Successor.

       

      (a) In
        case
        of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee, each successor Trustee
        shall execute and deliver to the Depositor and to the retiring Trustee an
        instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal
        of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and each such successor Trustee,
        without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all
        the
        rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on request
        of
        the Trust or any successor Trustee such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment
        of
        its charges, duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee

        if
        requested by the Depositor) shall execute any and all instruments for more
        fully
        and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such
        rights, powers and trusts referred to in the preceding paragraph.

       

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

       

      SECTION
        8.13. Merger,
        Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.

        Person into which the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee 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 Trustee shall be a party,
        or
        any Person succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business
        of such Trustee, shall be the successor of such Trustee hereunder, without
        the
        execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of
        the
        parties hereto, provided, that such Person shall be otherwise qualified and

        as
        the statements of the Trust and the Depositor, and the Trustees do not assume
        any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustees make no representations
        as to the title to, or value or condition of, the property of the Trust or
        any
        part thereof, nor as to the validity or sufficiency of this Trust Agreement,
        the
        Notes or the Trust Securities. The Trustees shall not be accountable for

        Bankruptcy Event) relative to the Trust or any other obligor upon the Trust
        Securities or the property of the Trust or of such other obligor or their
        creditors, the Property Trustee (irrespective of whether any Distributions

        collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on
        any
        such claims and to distribute the same;

       

      and
        any
        custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other

        its
        agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Property Trustee.

        or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of
        reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or compensation affecting the Trust
        Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Property

      SECTION
        9.1. Dissolution
        Upon Expiration Date.

       

      Unless
        earlier dissolved, the Trust shall automatically dissolve on September 30,
        2041
        (the “Expiration Date”), and the Trust Property shall be liquidated in

        9.2. Early
        Termination.

       

      The
        first
        to occur of any of the following events is an “Early Termination Event”, upon
        the occurrence of which the Trust shall be dissolved:

       

      (a) the
        occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event in respect of, or the dissolution or
        liquidation of, the Depositor, in its capacity as the Holder of the Common
        Securities, unless the Depositor shall have transferred the Common Securities
        as
        provided by Section
        5.11,
        in
        which case this provision shall refer instead to any such successor Holder
        of
        the Common Securities;

       

      (b) the
        written direction to the Property Trustee from the Holder of the Common
        Securities at any time to dissolve the Trust and, after satisfaction of any
        liabilities of the Trust as required by applicable law, to distribute the
        Notes
        to Holders in exchange for the Preferred Securities (which direction is optional
        and wholly within the discretion of the Holder of the Common
        Securities).

       

      (c) the
        redemption of all of the Preferred Securities in connection with the payment
        at
        maturity or redemption of all the Notes; and

       

      (d) the

      SECTION
        9.3. Termination.

       

      The
        respective obligations and responsibilities of the Trustees and the Trust
        shall
        terminate upon the latest to occur of the following: (a) the distribution
        by the
        Property Trustee to Holders of all amounts required to be distributed hereunder
        upon the liquidation of the Trust pursuant to Section
        9.4,
        or upon
        the redemption of all of the Trust Securities pursuant to Section 4.2;
        (b) the
        satisfaction of any expenses owed by the Trust; and (c) the discharge of
        all
        administrative duties of the Administrative Trustees, including the performance
        of any tax reporting obligations with respect to the Trust or the
        Holders.

      SECTION
        9.4. Liquidation.

       

      (a) If
        an
        Early Termination Event specified in Section
        9.2(a),
        (b)
        or
(d)
        occurs
        or upon the Expiration Date, the Trust shall be liquidated by the Property
        Trustee as expeditiously as the Property Trustee shall determine to be possible
        by distributing, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Trust
        as
        provided by applicable law, to each Holder a Like Amount of Notes, subject
        to
Section
        9.4(d).
        Notice
        of liquidation shall be given by the Property Trustee not less than thirty
        (30)
        nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the Liquidation Date to each Holder
        of
        Trust Securities at such Holder’s address appearing in the Securities Register.
        All such notices of liquidation shall:

       

      (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 (subject to Section
        9.4(d))
        any
        Securities Certificates not surrendered for exchange will be deemed to represent
        a Like Amount of Notes; and

       

      (iii) provide
        such information with respect to the mechanics by which Holders may exchange
        Securities Certificates for Notes, or if Section
        9.4(d)
        applies,
        receive a Liquidation Distribution, as the Property Trustee shall deem
        appropriate.

       

      (b) Except
        where Section
        9.2(c)
        or
9.4(d)
        applies,
        in order to effect the liquidation of the Trust and distribution of the Notes
        to
        Holders, the Property Trustee, either itself acting as exchange agent or
        through
        the appointment of a separate exchange agent, shall establish a record date
        for
        such distribution (which shall not be more than forty-five (45) days prior
        to
        the Liquidation Date nor prior to the date on which notice of such liquidation
        is given to the Holders) and establish such procedures as it shall deem
        appropriate to effect the distribution of Notes in exchange for the Outstanding
        Securities Certificates.

       

      (c) Except
        where Section
        9.2(c)
        or
9.4(d)
        applies,
        after the Liquidation Date, (i) the Trust Securities will no longer be deemed
        to
        be Outstanding, (ii) certificates representing a Like Amount of Notes will
        be
        issued to Holders of Securities Certificates, upon surrender of such
        Certificates to the exchange agent for exchange, (iii) the Depositor shall
        use
        its best efforts to have the Notes listed on the New York Stock Exchange
        or on
        such other exchange, interdealer quotation system or self-regulatory
        organization on which the Preferred Securities are then listed, if any, (iv)
        Securities Certificates not so surrendered for exchange will be deemed to
        represent a Like Amount of Notes bearing accrued and unpaid interest in an
        amount equal to the accumulated and unpaid Distributions on such Securities
        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 Securities Certificates with respect to such Notes) and
        (v)
        all rights of Holders holding Trust Securities will cease, except the right
        of
        such Holders to receive Notes upon surrender of Securities
        Certificates.

       

      (d) Notwithstanding
        the other provisions of this Section
        9.4,
        if
        distribution of the Notes in the manner provided herein is determined by
        the
        Property Trustee not to be permitted or practical, the Trust Property shall
        be
        liquidated, and the Trust shall be wound up by the Property Trustee in such
        manner as the Property Trustee determines. In such event, Holders will be
        entitled to receive out of the assets of the Trust available for distribution
        to
        Holders, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Trust as provided
        by applicable law, an amount equal to the Liquidation Amount per Trust Security
        plus accumulated and unpaid Distributions thereon to the date of payment
        (such
        amount being the “Liquidation Distribution”). If, upon any such winding up the
        Liquidation Distribution can be paid only in part because the Trust has
        insufficient assets available to pay in full the aggregate Liquidation
        Distribution, then, 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 winding up pro rata (based
        upon Liquidation Amounts) with Holders of all Trust Securities, except that,
        if
        an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Preferred Securities
        shall have a priority over the Common Securities as provided in Section
        4.3.

      SECTION
        9.5. Mergers,
        Consolidations, Amalgamations or Replacements of Trust.

       

      The
        Trust
        may not merge with or into, consolidate, amalgamate, or be replaced by, or
        convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety
        to, any Person except pursuant to this Article
        IX.
        At the
        request of the Holders of the Common Securities, without the consent of the
        Holders of the Preferred Securities, the Trust may merge with or into,
        consolidate, amalgamate, or be replaced by or convey, transfer or lease its
        properties and assets substantially as an entirety to a trust organized as
        such
        under the laws of any State; provided, that:

       

      (a) such
        successor entity either (i) expressly assumes all of the obligations of the
        Trust under this Trust Agreement with respect to the Preferred Securities
        or
        (ii) substitutes for the Preferred Securities other securities having
        substantially the same terms as the Preferred Securities (such other Securities,
        the “Successor Securities”) so long as the Successor Securities have the same
        priority as the Preferred Securities with respect to distributions and payments
        upon liquidation, redemption and otherwise;

       

      (b) a
        trustee
        of such successor entity possessing substantially the same powers and duties
        as
        the Property Trustee is appointed to hold the Notes;

       

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

       

      (d) the
        Preferred Securities are listed, or any Successor Securities will be listed
        upon
        notice of issuance, on any national securities exchange or interdealer quotation
        system on which the Preferred Securities are then listed, if any;

       

      (e) such
        merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or
        lease
        does not adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the Holders
        of the Preferred Securities (including any Successor Securities) in any material
        respect;

       

      (f) such
        successor entity has a purpose substantially identical to that of the
        Trust;

      
        
          
          

        

        
          53

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      (g) prior
        to
        such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer
        or
        lease, the Depositor has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that
        (i)
        such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer
        or
        lease does not adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of
        the
        Holders of the Preferred Securities (including any Successor Securities)
        in any
        material respect; (ii) following such merger, consolidation, amalgamation,
        replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, neither the Trust nor such successor
        entity will be required to register as an “investment company” under the
        Investment Company Act and (iii) following such merger, consolidation,
        amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, the Trust (or the
        successor entity) will continue to be classified as a grantor trust for U.S.
        federal income tax purposes; and

       

      (h) the
        Depositor or its permitted transferee owns all of the common securities of
        such
        successor entity and guarantees the obligations of such successor entity
        under
        the Successor Securities at least to the extent provided by the
        Indenture.

       

      Notwithstanding
        the foregoing, the Trust shall not, except with the consent of Holders of
        all of
        the Preferred Securities, 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 other Person or permit any other entity to consolidate,
        amalgamate, merge with or into, or replace, the Trust if such consolidation,
        amalgamation, merger, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease would cause
        the
        Trust or the successor entity to be taxable as a corporation or classified
        as
        other than a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes
        or
        cause the Notes to be treated as other than indebtedness of the Depositor
        for
        United States federal income tax purposes.

“Amendment”)
      is
      entered into as of August 4, 2006, by and among World Acceptance
      Corporation, a South Carolina corporation (the “Borrower”),
      the
      Banks party hereto, and Harris N.A. as Agent for the Banks (the “Agent”).

     

    Preliminary
      Statements

     

    A.The
      Borrower, the Banks, JPMorgan Chase Bank as Co-Agent, and the Agent are parties
      to a certain Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of
      July 20, 2005 (the “Credit
      Agreement”).
      All
      capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the same meanings
      herein as such terms have in the Credit Agreement.

     

    B.The
      Borrower has requested that the Banks agree to reduce the Eurodollar Margin,
      extend the Termination Date to September 30, 2008 and increase the basket
      for Indebtedness for Borrowed Money, and make certain other amendments to the
      Credit Agreement, and the Banks are willing to do so under the terms and
      conditions set forth in this Amendment.

     

    Now,
      Therefore, for
      good
      and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
      acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

     

    
      	
              Section 1.

            	
              Amendments.

            

    

     

    Subject
      to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2
      below, the Credit Agreement shall be and hereby is amended as
      follows:

     

    1.1.  
      The
      defined term “Eurodollar
      Margin”
      set
      forth in Section 2.1(b) of the Credit Agreement shall be amended and
      restated in its entirety to read as follows:

     

    “Eurodollar
      Margin”
      means
      1.85% per annum.

     

    1.2.  
      The
      definition of “Termination
      Date”
      set
      forth in Section 5.1 of the Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated
      in its entirety to read as follows:

     

    “Termination
      Date”
      means
      September 30, 2008, or such later date to which the Commitments are
      extended pursuant to Section 3.4 hereof, or such earlier date on which the
      Commitments are terminated in whole pursuant to Sections 2.9, 9.3 or 9.4
      hereof.

     

    1.3.  
      Section 8.9(e)
      of the Credit Agreement (Permitted Indebtedness) shall be amended and restated
      in its entirety to read as follows:

     

    (e)other
      unsecured Indebtedness for Borrowed Money to any Person (other than to the
      Borrower or another Restricted Subsidiary) in an aggregate amount for the
      Borrower and all Restricted Subsidiaries not exceeding $10,000,000 at any time
      outstanding.

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    1.4.  
      Subsection (b)
      of Section 8.20 of the Credit Agreement (Reports and Rights to Inspection)
      shall be amended by striking the phrase “within 90 days after the close of each
      fiscal year of the Borrower” set forth in the first sentence thereof and
      inserting in its place the phrase:

     

    “within
      120 days after the close of each fiscal year of the Borrower”

     

    
      	
              Section 2.

            	
              Conditions
                Precedent.
