of the Holders of the Securities ("List of Holders") as of such record date,

          (b)   The Property Trustee shall comply with its obligations under

                                        9

<PAGE>

               (i) is not waivable under the Indenture, the Event of Default
          under the Declaration shall also not be waivable; or

               (ii) requires the consent or vote of greater than a majority in
          principal amount the holders of the Debentures (a "Super Majority") to
          be waived under the Indenture, the Event of Default under the
          Declaration may only be waived by the vote of the Holders of at least
          the proportion in liquidation preference of the Preferred Securities
          that the relevant Super Majority represents of the aggregate principal
          amount of the Debentures outstanding.

         Upon such waiver, any such default shall cease to exist, and any Event
of Default with respect to the Preferred Securities arising therefrom shall be
deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Declaration, but no such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or an Event of Default
with respect to the Preferred Securities or impair any right consequent thereon.
Any waiver by the Holders of the Preferred Securities of an Event of Default
with respect to the Preferred Securities shall also be deemed to constitute a
waiver by the Holders of the Common Securities of any such Event of Default with
respect to the Common Securities for all purposes of this Declaration without
any further act, vote, or consent of the Holders of the Common Securities.

          (b) The Holders of a Majority in liquidation preference of the Common
Securities may, by vote, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Common
Securities, waive any past Event of Default with respect to the Common
Securities and its consequences, provided that, if the underlying Event of
Default under the Indenture:

               (i) is not waivable under the Indenture, except where the Holders
          of the Common Securities are deemed to have waived such Event of
          Default under the Declaration as provided below in this Section
          2.06(b), the Event of Default under the Declaration shall also not be
          waivable; or

               (ii) requires the consent or vote of a Super Majority to be
          waived, except where the Holders of the Common Securities are deemed
          to have waived such Event of Default under the Declaration as provided
          below in this Section 2.06(b), the Event of Default under the
          Declaration may only be waived by the vote of the Holders of at least
          the proportion in liquidation preference of the Preferred Securities
          that the relevant Super Majority represents of the aggregate principal
          amount of the Debentures outstanding;

                                       10

<PAGE>

provided further, each Holder of Common Securities will be deemed to have waived
any such Event of Default and all Events of Default with respect to the Common
Securities and its consequences until all Events of Default with respect to the
Preferred Securities have been cured, waived or otherwise eliminated, and until
such Events of Default have been so cured, waived or otherwise eliminated, the
Property Trustee will be deemed to be acting solely on behalf of the Holders of
the Preferred Securities and only the Holders of the Preferred Securities will
have the right to direct the Property Trustee in accordance with the terms of
the Securities. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.06(b),
upon such waiver, any such default shall cease to exist and any Event of Default
with respect to the Common Securities arising therefrom shall be deemed to have
been cured for every purpose of this Declaration, but no such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default with respect to
the Common Securities or impair any right consequent thereon.

          (c) A waiver of an Event of Default under the Indenture by the
Property Trustee at the direction of the Holders of the Preferred Securities,
constitutes a waiver of the corresponding Event of Default under this
Declaration.

         SECTION 2.07. Event of Default; Notice. (a) The Property Trustee shall,
within 90 days after the occurrence of an Event of Default, transmit by mail,
first class postage prepaid, to the Holders of the Securities, notices of all
defaults with respect to the Securities known to the Property Trustee, unless
such defaults have been cured before the giving of such notice (the term
"defaults" for the purposes of this Section 2.07(a) being hereby defined to be
an Event of Default as defined in the Indenture, not including any periods of
grace provided for therein and irrespective of the giving of any notice provided
therein); provided that, except for a default in the payment of principal of (or
premium, if any) or interest on any of the Debentures or in the payment of any
sinking fund installment established for the Debentures, the Property Trustee
shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of
directors, the executive committee, or a trust committee of directors and/or
Responsible Officers of the Property Trustee in good faith determines that the
withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Securities.

          (b)   The Property Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of
any default except:

               (i) a default under Sections 501(1) and 501(2) of the Indenture;
          or

               (ii) any default as to which the Property Trustee shall have
          received written notice.

Declaration. In particular, the Trust shall not and the Trustees (including the
Property Trustee) shall cause the Trust not to:

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

          Securities;

          shall be required unless the Trust shall have received an opinion of
          counsel to the effect that such modification will not cause more than
          an insubstantial risk that for United States Federal income tax
          purposes the Trust will not be classified as a grantor trust or
          partnership.

         SECTION 3.08.  Powers and Duties of the Property Trustee.  (a)  The

interest in the Debentures to the Regular Trustees or to the Delaware Trustee

          to the Holders of the Preferred Securities and Holders of the Common
          Securities from the Property Trustee Account in accordance with
          Section 6.01. Funds in the Property Trustee Account shall be held
          uninvested until disbursed in accordance with this Declaration;

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

          (f)  The Property Trustee shall not resign as a Trustee unless either:

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

               (ii) a Successor Property Trustee has been appointed and has
          accepted that appointment in accordance with Section 5.06.

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

          (h) The Property Trustee will act as Paying Agent and Registrar in New
York (the "Paying Agent") to pay Distributions, redemption payments or
liquidation payments on behalf of the Trust with respect to all securities and
any such Paying Agent shall comply with ss. 317(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.
Any Paying Agent may be removed by the Property Trustee at any time and a
successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agents may be appointed at any time
by the Property Trustee.

          (i) Subject to this Section 3.08, the Property Trustee shall have none
of the duties, liabilities, powers or the authority of the Regular Trustees set
forth in Section 3.06. The Property Trustee must exercise the powers set forth
in this Section 3.08 in a manner that is consistent with the purposes and
functions of the Trust set out in Section 3.03, and the Property Trustee shall
not take any action that is inconsistent with the purposes and functions of the
Trust set out in Section 3.03.

         SECTION 3.09. Certain Duties and Responsibilities of the Property
Trustee. (a) The Property Trustee, before the occurrence of any Event of Default
and after the curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, shall
undertake to perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Declaration and no implied covenants shall be read into this Declaration against
the Property Trustee. In case an Event of Default has occurred (that has not
been cured or waived pursuant to Section 2.06), the Property Trustee shall
exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Declaration, and use
the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would
exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own
affairs.

                                       18

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

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

                       (A) the duties and obligations of the Property Trustee
                  shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this
                  Declaration and the Property Trustee shall not be liable
                  except for the performance of such duties and obligations as
                  are specifically set forth in this Declaration, and no implied
                  covenants or obligations shall be read into this Declaration
                  against the Property Trustee; and

                       (B) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the
                  Property Trustee, the Property Trustee may conclusively rely,
                  as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the
                  opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions
                  furnished to the Property Trustee and conforming to the
                  requirements of this Declaration; but in the case of any such
                  certificates or opinions that by any provision hereof are
                  specifically required to be furnished to the Property Trustee,
                  the Property Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same
                  to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements
                  of this Declaration;

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

               (iii) 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 not less than a
          Majority in liquidation preference of the Securities relating to the
          time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
          available to the Property Trustee, or exercising any trust or power
          conferred upon the Property Trustee under this Declaration;

               (iv) no provision of this Declaration shall require the Property
          Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal
          financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the
          exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable
          grounds for

                                       19

<PAGE>

          believing that the repayment of such funds or liability is not
          reasonably assured to it under the terms of this Declaration or
          adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably
          assured to it;

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

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

               (vii) the Property Trustee shall not be liable for any interest
          on any money received by it except as it may otherwise agree with the
          Sponsor. Money held by the Property Trustee need not be segregated
          from other funds held by it except in relation to the Property Trustee
          Account maintained by the Property Trustee pursuant to Section
          3.08(c)(i) and except to the extent otherwise required by law; and

               (viii) the Property Trustee shall not be responsible for
          monitoring the compliance by the Regular Trustees or the Sponsor with
          their respective duties under this Declaration, nor shall the Property
          Trustee be liable for the default or misconduct of the Regular
          Trustees or the Sponsor.

         SECTION 3.10.  Certain Rights of Property Trustee.  (a)  Subject to the
provisions of Section 3.09:

               (i) the Property Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in
          acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate,
          statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction,
          consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness
          or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have
          been signed, sent or presented by the proper party or parties;

               (ii) any direction or act of the Sponsor or the Regular Trustees
          contemplated by this Declaration shall be sufficiently evidenced by an
          Officers' Certificate;

                                       20

<PAGE>

               (iii) whenever in the administration of this Declaration, the
          Property Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or
          established before taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder,
          the Property Trustee (unless other evidence is herein specifically
          prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, request and
          rely upon an Officers' Certificate which, upon receipt of such
          request, shall be promptly delivered by the Sponsor or the Regular
          Trustees;

               (iv) the Property Trustee shall have no duty to see to any
          recording, filing or registration of any instrument (including any
          financing or continuation statement or any filing under tax or
          securities laws) or any rerecording, refiling or registration thereof;

               (v) the Property Trustee may consult with counsel or other
          experts and the advice or opinion of such counsel and experts with
          respect to legal matters or advice within the scope of such experts'
          area of expertise 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 accordance with such advice or opinion,
          such counsel may be counsel to the Sponsor or any of its Affiliates,
          and may include any of its employees. The Property Trustee shall have
          the right at any time to seek instructions concerning the
          administration of this Declaration from any court of competent
          jurisdiction;

               (vi) the Property Trustee shall be under no obligation to
          exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Declaration
          at the request or direction of any Holder, unless such Holder shall
          have provided to the Property Trustee adequate security and indemnity,
          which would satisfy a reasonable person in the position of the
          Property Trustee, against the costs, expenses (including attorneys'
          fees and expenses) and liabilities that might be incurred by it in
          complying with such request or direction, including such reasonable
          advances as may be requested by the Property Trustee provided, that,
          nothing contained in this Section 3.10(a)(iv) shall be taken to
          relieve the Property Trustee, upon the occurrence of an Event of
          Default, of its obligation to exercise the rights and powers vested in
          it by this Declaration;

               (vii) the Property Trustee shall not be bound to make any
          investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution,
          certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
          direction, consent, order, security, bond, debenture, note, other
          evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Property
          Trustee, in its discretion, may

                                       21

<PAGE>

          make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or
          matters as it may see fit;

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

               (ix) any action taken by the Property Trustee or its agents
          hereunder shall bind the Trust and the Holders of the Securities, and
          the signature of the Property Trustee or its agents alone shall be
          sufficient and effective to perform any such action and no third party
          shall be required to inquire as to the authority of the Property
          Trustee to so act or as to its compliance with any of the terms and
          provisions of this Declaration, both of which shall be conclusively
          evidenced by the Property Trustee's or its agent's taking such action;

               (x) whenever in the administration of this Declaration the
          Property Trustee shall deem it desirable to receive instructions with
          respect to enforcing any remedy or right or taking any other action
          hereunder the Property Trustee (i) may request instructions from the
          Holders of the Securities which instructions may only be given by the
          Holders of the same proportion in liquidation preference of the
          Securities as would be entitled to direct the Property Trustee under
          the terms of the Securities 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; and

               (xi) except as otherwise expressly provided by this Declaration,
          the Property Trustee shall not be under any obligation to take any
          action that is discretionary under the provisions of this Declaration.

          (b) No provision of this Declaration shall be deemed to impose any
duty or obligation on the Property 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 the Property Trustee
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. No permissive power or authority available to the Property Trustee
shall be construed to be a duty.

of the Regular Trustees.

         SECTION 3.13. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities.
The recitals contained in this Declaration and the Securities shall be taken as

be replaced by a trust organized as such under the laws of any State or the
District of Columbia; provided that:

               (i) if the Trust is not the surviving entity, the successor
          entity (the "Successor Entity") either:

                                       23

<PAGE>

                    (A) expressly assumes all of the obligations of the Trust
               under the Securities; or

                    (B) substitutes for the Securities other securities having
               substantially the same terms as the Preferred Securities (the
               "Successor Securities") as long as the Successor Securities rank,
               with respect to participation in the profits and distributions or
               in the assets of the Successor Entity at least as high as the
               Preferred Securities rank with respect to participation in the
               profits and dividends or in the assets of the Trust;

               (ii) the Debenture Issuer expressly acknowledges such Successor
          Entity as the Holder of the Debentures;

               (iii) the Preferred Securities or any Successor Securities are

          of issuance, on any national securities exchange or with any other
          organization on which the Preferred Securities are then listed or
          quoted;

               (iv) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement does
          not cause the Preferred Securities (including any Successor
          Securities) to be downgraded by any nationally recognized statistical
          rating organization;

               (v) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement does
          not adversely affect the powers, preferences and other special rights
          of the Holders of the Preferred Securities (including any Successor
          Securities) in any material respect;

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

               (vii) prior to such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or
          replacement, the Sponsor has received an opinion of a nationally
          recognized independent counsel (reasonably acceptable to the Property
          Trustee) to the Trust experienced in such matters to the effect that:

                    (A) the Successor Entity will be treated as a grantor trust
               for United States Federal income tax purposes;

                    (B) following such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or
               replacement, neither the Sponsor nor the Successor Entity will be
               required to register as an Investment Company; and

                                       24

<PAGE>

                    (C) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation or replacement
               will not adversely affect the limited liability of the Holders of
               the Securities (including any Successor Securities); and

               (viii) the Sponsor provides a guarantee to the Holders of the
          Successor Securities with respect to the Successor Entity having
          substantially the same terms as the Preferred Securities Guarantee.

          (c) Notwithstanding Section 3.15(b), the Trust shall not, except with
the consent of Holders of 100% in liquidation preference of the Common
Securities, consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or be replaced by any
other entity or permit any other entity to consolidate, amalgamate, merge with
or into, or replace it if such consolidation, amalgamation, merger or
replacement would cause the Trust or Successor Entity to be classified as other
than a grantor trust for United States Federal income tax purposes.

         SECTION 5.01.  Number of Trustees.  The number of Trustees shall
initially be five (5), and:

          (a)   at any time before the issuance of any Securities, the Sponsor

one Trustee (the "Delaware Trustee") shall be an entity which has its principal
place of business in the State of Delaware, and otherwise meets the requirements
of applicable law; provided that, if the Property Trustee has its principal

          U.S. dollars ($50,000,000), and subject to supervision or examination

          such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually,
          pursuant to law or to the requirements of the supervising or examining
          authority referred to above, then for the purposes of this Section
          5.03(a)(ii), the combined capital and surplus of such corporation

          its most recent report of condition so published.

          (b) If at any time the Property Trustee shall cease to be eligible to
so act under Section 5.03(a), the Property Trustee shall immediately resign in

interest" within the meaning of ss. 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, the
Property Trustee and the Holder of the Common Securities (as if it were the
obligor referred to in ss. 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act) shall in all
respects comply with the provisions of ss. 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

          (d)   The Preferred Securities Guarantee shall be deemed to be
specifically described in this Declaration for purposes of clause (i) of the

(a)  Subject to Section 5.06(b), Trustees may be appointed or removed without

               (i) until the issuance of any Securities, by written instrument
          executed by the Sponsor; and

               (ii) after the issuance of any Securities by vote of the Holders
          of a Majority in liquidation preference of the Common Securities
          voting as a class at a meeting of the Holders of the Common
          Securities.

          (b) The Trustee that acts as Property Trustee shall not be removed in
accordance with Section 5.06(a) until a successor Property Trustee (the
"Successor Property Trustee") has been appointed and has accepted such
appointment by written instrument executed by such Successor Property Trustee
and delivered to the Regular Trustees and the Sponsor; and

          (c) The Trustee that acts as Delaware Trustee shall not be removed in
accordance with this Section 5.06(a) until a successor Trustee possessing the
qualifications to act as Delaware Trustee under Sections 5.02 and 5.04 (a

<PAGE>

appointment by written instrument executed by such Successor Delaware Trustee
and delivered to the Regular Trustees and the Sponsor.

          (d) A Trustee appointed to office shall hold office until his
successor shall have been appointed or until his death, removal or resignation.
Any Trustee may resign from office (without need for prior or subsequent
accounting) by an instrument in writing signed by the Trustee and delivered to
the Sponsor and the Trust, which resignation shall take effect upon such
delivery or upon such later date as is specified therein; provided, however,
that:

               (i) No such resignation of the Trustee that acts as the Property
          Trustee shall be effective:

                    (A) until a Successor Property Trustee has been appointed
               and has accepted such appointment by instrument executed by such
               Successor Property Trustee and delivered to the Trust, the
               Sponsor and the resigning Property Trustee; or

                    (B) until the assets of the Trust have been completely
               liquidated and the proceeds thereof distributed to the holders of
               the Securities;

               (ii) no such resignation of the Trustee that acts as the Delaware
          Trustee shall be effective until a Successor Delaware Trustee has been
          appointed and has accepted such appointment by instrument executed by
          such Successor Delaware Trustee and delivered to the Trust, the
          Sponsor and the resigning Delaware Trustee; and

               (iii) no such resignation of a Special Regular Trustee shall be
          effective until the 60th day following delivery of the instrument of
          resignation of the Special Regular Trustee to the Sponsor and the
          Trust or such later date specified in such instrument during which
          period the Holders of the Preferred Securities shall have the right to
          appoint a successor Special Regular Trustee as provided in this
          Section 5.06; and

          (e) The Holders of the Common Securities shall use their best efforts
to promptly appoint a Successor Property Trustee or Successor Delaware Trustee,
as the case may be, if the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee delivers an
instrument of resignation in accordance with this Section 5.06.

          (f) If no Successor Property Trustee or Successor Delaware Trustee
shall have been appointed and accepted appointment as provided in this Section
5.06 within 60 days after delivery to the Sponsor and the Trust of an instrument
of

                                       29

<PAGE>

resignation, the resigning Property Trustee or Delaware Trustee, as applicable,
may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a Successor
Property Trustee or Successor Delaware Trustee. Such court may thereupon, after
prescribing such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a
Successor Property Trustee or Successor Delaware Trustee, as the case may be.

         SECTION 5.07. Vacancies among Trustees. If a Trustee ceases to hold
office for any reason and the number of Trustees is not reduced pursuant to
Section 5.01, or if the number of Trustees is increased pursuant to Section
5.01, a vacancy shall occur. A resolution certifying the existence of such
vacancy by a majority of the Regular Trustees shall be conclusive evidence of
the existence of such vacancy. The vacancy shall be filled with a Trustee
appointed in accordance with Section 5.06.

         SECTION 5.08. Effect of Vacancies. The death, resignation, retirement,
removal, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation, incompetence or incapacity to
perform the duties of a Trustee shall not operate to annul the Trust. Whenever a
vacancy in the number of Regular Trustees shall occur, until such vacancy is
filled by the appointment of a Regular Trustee in accordance with Section 5.06,
the Regular Trustees in office, regardless of their number, shall have all the
powers granted to the Regular Trustees and shall discharge all the duties
imposed upon the Regular Trustees by this Declaration.

         SECTION 5.09. Meetings. Meetings of the Regular Trustees shall be held
from time to time upon the call of any Regular Trustee. Regular meetings of the
Regular Trustees may be held at a time and place fixed by resolution of the
Regular Trustees. Notice of any in-person meetings of the Regular Trustees shall
be hand delivered or otherwise delivered in writing (including by facsimile,
with a hard copy by overnight courier) not less than 48 hours before such
meeting. Notice of any telephonic meetings of the Regular Trustees or any
committee thereof shall be hand delivered or otherwise delivered in writing
(including by facsimile, with a hard copy by overnight courier) not less than 24
hours before a meeting. Notices shall contain a brief statement of the time,
place and anticipated purposes of the meeting. The presence (whether in person
or by telephone) of a Regular Trustee at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of
notice of such meeting except where a Regular Trustee attends a meeting for the
express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any activity on the ground
that the meeting has not been lawfully called or convened. Unless provided
otherwise in this Declaration, any action of the Regular Trustees may be taken
at a meeting by vote of a majority of the Regular Trustees present (whether in
person or by telephone) and eligible to vote with respect to such matter,
provided that a Quorum is present, or without a meeting by the unanimous written
consent of the Regular Trustees.

         SECTION 5.10. Delegation of Power. (a) Any Regular Trustee may, by
power of attorney consistent with applicable law, delegate to any other natural
person over the age of 21 his or her power for the purpose of executing any
documents contemplated in Section 3.06, including any registration statement or
amendment thereto filed with the Commission, or making any other governmental
filing; and

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

                                    ARTICLE 6
                                  DISTRIBUTIONS

         SECTION 6.01. Distributions. Holders shall receive Distributions (as
defined herein) in accordance with the applicable terms of the relevant Holder's
Securities. Distributions shall be made on the Preferred Securities and the
Common Securities in accordance with the preferences set forth in their
respective terms. If and to the extent that the Debenture Issuer makes a payment
of interest (including Compounded Interest (as defined in the Indenture) and
Additional Interest (as defined in the Indenture)) premium and principal on the
Debentures held by the Property Trustee (the amount of any such payment being a
"Payment Amount"), the Property Trustee shall and is directed, to the extent
funds are available for that purpose, to make a distribution (a "Distribution")
of the Payment Amount to Holders.

                                    ARTICLE 7
                             ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES

         SECTION 7.01. General Provisions Regarding Securities. (a) The Regular
Trustees shall on behalf of the Trust issue one class of preferred securities,
representing undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust (the
"Preferred Securities"), having such terms (the "Terms") as are set forth in
Annex I and one class of common securities, representing undivided beneficial
interests in the assets of the Trust (the "Common Securities"), having such
terms as are set forth in Annex I. The Trust shall have no securities or other
interests in

                                       31

<PAGE>

the assets of the Trust other than the Preferred Securities and the Common
Securities. The Trust shall issue no Securities in bearer form.

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

          (c) Upon issuance of the Securities as provided in this Declaration,
the Securities so issued shall be deemed to be validly issued, fully paid and
non- assessable, subject to Section 10.01 with respect to the Common Securities.

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

         SECTION 7.02. Execution and Authentication. (a) The Securities shall be
signed on behalf of the Trust by one Regular Trustee. In case any Regular
Trustee of the Trust who shall have signed any of the Securities shall cease to
be such Regular Trustee before the Securities so signed shall be delivered by
the Trust, such Securities nevertheless may be delivered as though the person
who signed such Securities had not ceased to be such Regular Trustee; and any
Securities may be signed on behalf of the Trust by such persons who, at the
actual date of execution of such Security, shall be the Regular Trustees of the
Trust, although at the date of the execution and delivery of the Declaration any
such person was not such a Regular Trustee.

          (b) One Regular Trustee shall sign the Preferred Securities for the
Trust by manual or facsimile signature. Unless otherwise determined by the
Trust, such signature shall, in the case of Common Securities, be a manual
signature.

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

         Upon a written order of the Trust signed by one Regular Trustee, the
Property Trustee shall authenticate the Preferred Securities for original issue
in accordance with paragraph 5 of the Securities. The aggregate number of
Preferred Securities outstanding at any time shall not exceed the number set
forth in the Terms in Annex A hereto except as provided in Section 7.07.

                                       32

<PAGE>

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

         SECTION 7.03. [Reserved].

         SECTION 7.04. Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent. In the
event that the Preferred Securities are not in book-entry only form, the Trust
shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, State of New York,
(i) an office or agency where Preferred Securities may be presented for
registration of transfer or exchange ("Registrar"), (ii) an office or agency
where Preferred Securities may be presented for payment ("Paying Agent"). The
Registrar shall keep a register of the Preferred Securities and of their
transfer and exchange. The Trust may appoint the Registrar, the Paying Agent and
the Conversion Agent and may appoint one or more co-registrars, one or more
additional paying agents and one or more additional conversion agents in such
other locations as it shall determine. The term "Paying Agent" includes any
additional paying agent. The Trust may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or
co-registrar without prior notice to any Holder. The Trust shall notify the
property Trustee of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this
Declaration. If the Trust fails to appoint or maintain another entity as
Registrar or Paying Agent, the Property Trustee shall act as such. The Trust or
any of its Affiliates may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. The Trust shall act
as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar for the Common Securities.

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

         SECTION 7.05. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. The Trust shall
require each Paying Agent other than the Property Trustee to agree in writing
that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the
Property Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal
or distribution on the Securities, and will notify the Property Trustee if there
are insufficient funds. While any such insufficiency continues, the Property
Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Property
Trustee. The Trust at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held
by it to the Property Trustee and to account for any money disbursed by it. Upon
payment over to the Property Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Trust
or an Affiliate of the Trust) shall have no further liability for the money. If
the Trust or the Sponsor or an Affiliate of the Trust or the Sponsor acts as
Paying Agent, it

                                       33

<PAGE>

shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders
all money held by it as Paying Agent.

         SECTION 7.06. [Reserved].

         SECTION 7.07. [Reserved].

         SECTION 7.08. Outstanding Preferred Securities. The Preferred
Securities outstanding at any time are all the Preferred Securities
authenticated by the Property Trustee except for those canceled by it, those
delivered to it for cancellation, and those described in this Section as not
outstanding.

         If a Preferred Security is replaced, paid or purchased pursuant to
Section 7.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Property Trustee
receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced, paid or purchased Preferred
Security is held by a bona fide purchaser.

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

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

         SECTION 7.09. Preferred Securities in Treasury. In determining whether
the Holders of the required amount of Securities have concurred in any
direction, waiver or consent, Preferred Securities owned by the Trust, the
Sponsor or an Affiliate of the Sponsor, as the case may be, shall be disregarded
and deemed not to be outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining
whether the Property Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such
direction, waiver or consent, only Securities which the Property Trustee knows
are so owned shall be so disregarded.

         SECTION 7.10. [Reserved].

         SECTION 7.11. Cancellation. The Trust at any time may deliver Preferred
Securities to the Property Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar, Paying Agent
and Conversion Agent shall forward to the Property Trustee any Preferred
Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, redemption,
conversion, exchange or payment. The Property Trustee shall promptly cancel all
Preferred Securities, surrendered for registration of transfer, redemption,
conversion, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of
cancelled Preferred Securities as the Trust directs. The Trust may not issue new
Preferred

                                       34

<PAGE>

Securities to replace Preferred Securities that it has paid or that have been
delivered to the Property Trustee for cancellation or that any holder has
converted.

                              TERMINATION OF TRUST

         SECTION 8.01. Termination of Trust. (a) The Trust shall terminate upon
the earliest to occur of the following:

          (i)   the bankruptcy of the Holder of the Common Securities or
         the Sponsor;

         (ii) the filing of a certificate of dissolution or its equivalent with
         respect to the Holder of the Common Securities or the Sponsor; the
         filing of a certificate of cancellation with respect to the Trust or
         the revocation of the charter of the Holder of the Common Securities or
         the Sponsor and the expiration of 90 days after the date of revocation
         without a reinstatement thereof;

        (iii)   the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Holder of
         the Common Securities, the Sponsor or the Trust;

         (iv) all of the Securities shall have been called for redemption and
         the amounts necessary for redemption thereof shall have been paid to
         the Holders in accordance with the terms of the Securities;

          (v) the occurrence and continuation of a Tax Event pursuant to which
         the Trust shall have been dissolved in accordance with the terms of the
         Securities and all of the Debentures endorsed thereon shall have been
         distributed to the Holders of Securities in exchange for all of the
         Securities; or

         (vi) the expiration of the term of the Trust on forty (40) years from
         the date of its formation.

          (b) As soon as is practicable after the occurrence of an event
referred to in Section 8.01(a)), the Trustees shall file a certificate of
cancellation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

          (c) The provisions of Section 3.09 and Article 10 shall survive the
termination of the Trust.

                              TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE

         SECTION 9.01. General. (a) Where Preferred Securities are presented to
the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer or to
exchange them for an equal number of Preferred Securities represented by
different certificates, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the
exchange if its requirements for such transactions are met. To permit
registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Trust shall issue and the Property
Trustee shall authenticate Preferred Securities at the Registrar's request.

          (b) Securities may only be transferred, in whole or in part, in
accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Declaration and in
the terms of the Securities. Any transfer or purported transfer of any Security
not made in accordance with this Declaration shall be null and void.

         Subject to this Article 9, the Sponsor and any Related Party may only
transfer Common Securities to the Sponsor or a Related Party of the Sponsor;
provided that, any such transfer is subject to the condition precedent that the
transferor obtain the written opinion of nationally recognized independent
counsel experienced in such matters that such transfer would not cause more than
an insubstantial risk that:

          (i)   the Trust would not be classified for United States federal
         income tax purposes as a grantor trust; and

         (ii) the Trust would be an Investment Company or the transferee would
         become an Investment Company.

          (c) The Regular Trustees shall provide for the registration of
Securities and of transfers of Securities, which will be effected without charge
but only upon payment (with such indemnity as the Regular Trustees may require)
in respect of any tax or other governmental charges that may be imposed in
relation to it. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Securities,
the Regular Trustees shall cause one or more new Securities to be issued in the
name of the designated transferee or transferees. Every Security surrendered for
registration of transfer shall be accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Regular Trustees duly executed by the
Holder or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Security
surrendered for registration of transfer shall be canceled by the Regular
Trustees. A transferee of a Security shall be entitled to

                                       36

<PAGE>

the rights and subject to the obligations of a Holder hereunder upon the receipt
by such transferee of a Security. By acceptance of a Security, each transferee
shall be deemed to have agreed to be bound by this Declaration.

          (d) The Trust shall not be required (i) to issue, register the
transfer of, or exchange, Preferred Securities during a period beginning at the
opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Preferred
Securities for redemption set forth in the terms and ending at the close of
business on the day of selection, or (ii) to register the transfer or exchange
of any Preferred Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except
the unredeemed portion of any Preferred Security being redeemed in part.

         SECTION 9.02. Transfer of Certificates. The Regular Trustees shall
provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers of Certificates,
which will be effected without charge but only upon payment (with such indemnity
as the Regular Trustees may require) in respect of any tax or other government
charges that may be imposed in relation to it. Upon surrender for registration
of transfer of any Certificate, the Regular Trustees shall cause one or more new
Certificates to be issued in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees. Every Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer shall be
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Regular Trustees duly executed by the Holder or such Holder's attorney duly
authorized in writing. Each Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer
shall be cancelled by the Regular Trustees. A transferee of a Certificate shall
be entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Holder hereunder
upon the receipt by such transferee of a Certificate. By acceptance of a
Certificate, each transferee shall be deemed to have agreed to be bound by this
Declaration.

         SECTION 9.03. Deemed Security Holders. The Trustees may treat the
Person in whose name any Certificate shall be registered on the books and
records of the Trust as the sole holder of such Certificate and of the
Securities represented by such Certificate for purposes of receiving
Distributions and for all other purposes whatsoever and, accordingly, shall not
be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such
Certificate or in the Securities represented by such Certificate on the part of
any Person, whether or not the Trust, the Property Trustee, the Registrar or an
co-registrar shall have actual or other notice thereof.

         SECTION 9.04.  Book Entry Interests.  Unless otherwise specified in the
terms of the Preferred Securities, the Preferred Securities Certificates, on
original issuance, will be issued in the form of one or more, fully registered,
global Preferred Security Certificates (each a "Global Certificate"), to be
delivered to the Depositary, the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of,
the Trust. Such

                                       37

<PAGE>

Global Certificates shall initially be registered on the books and records of
the Trust in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the Depositary, and no
Preferred Security Beneficial Owner will receive a Definitive Preferred Security
Certificate representing such Preferred Security Beneficial Owner's interests in
such Global Certificates, except as provided in Section 9.07 . Unless and until
definitive, fully registered Preferred Security Certificates (the "Definitive
Preferred Security Certificates") have been issued to the Preferred Security
Beneficial Owners pursuant to Section 9.07:

          (a)   the provisions of this Section 9.04 shall be in full force and
effect;

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

          (c) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 9.04 conflict
with any other provisions of this Declaration, the provisions of this Section
9.04 shall control; and

          (d) the rights of the Preferred Security Beneficial Owners shall be
exercised only through the Depositary and shall be limited to those established
by law and agreements between such Preferred Security Beneficial Owners and the
Depositary and/or the Participants and receive and transmit payments of
Distributions on the Global Certificates to such Participants. The Depositary
will make book entry transfers among the Participants.

communication to the Preferred Security Holders is required under this
Declaration, unless and until Definitive Preferred Security Certificates shall
have been issued to the Preferred Security Beneficial Owners pursuant to Section
9.07, the Regular Trustees shall give all such notices and communications
specified herein to be given to the Preferred Security Holders to the
Depositary, and shall have no notice obligations to the Preferred Security
Beneficial Owners.

         SECTION 9.06. Appointment of Successor Clearing Agency. If any Clearing

appoint a successor Clearing Agency with respect to such Preferred Securities.

         SECTION 9.07.  Definitive Preferred Security Certificates.  If:

         (a) a Clearing Agency notifies the Sponsor and the Trust that it elects
to discontinue its services as securities depositary with respect to the
Preferred Securities or if at any time such Clearing Agency ceases to be a
"clearing agency" registered under the Exchange Act and a successor Clearing
Agency is not appointed within 90 days after such discontinuance pursuant to
Section 9.06; or

          (b) the Regular Trustees elect after consultation with the Sponsor and
the Trust to terminate the book entry system through the Clearing Agency with
respect to the Preferred Securities; or

          (c)   an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then:

          (d) Definitive Preferred Security Certificates shall be prepared by
the Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust with respect to such Preferred
Securities; and

          (e) Upon surrender of the Global Certificates by the Clearing Agency,
accompanied by registration instructions, the Regular Trustees shall cause
Definitive Preferred Security Certificates to be delivered to Preferred Security
Beneficial Owners in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency.
Neither the Trustees nor the Trust shall be liable for any delay in delivery of
such instructions and each of them may conclusively rely on and shall be
protected in relying on, said instructions of the Clearing Agency. The
Definitive Preferred Security Certificates shall be printed, lithographed or
engraved or may be produced in any other manner as is reasonably acceptable to
the Regular Trustees, as evidenced by their execution thereof, and may have such
letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such
legends or endorsements as the Regular Trustees may deem appropriate, or as may
be required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant
thereto or with any rule or regulation of any stock exchange on which Preferred
Securities may be listed, or to conform to usage.

         SECTION 9.08.  Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.  If:

          (a) any mutilated Certificates should be surrendered to the Regular
Trustees, or if the Regular Trustees shall receive evidence to their
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate; and

          (b) there shall be delivered to the Regular Trustees such security or
indemnity as may be required by them to keep each of them harmless,

                                       39

<PAGE>

then, in the absence of notice that such Certificate shall have been acquired by
a bona fide purchaser, any Regular Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute
and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost
or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like denomination. In connection
with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 9.08, the Regular
Trustees may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. Any duplicate
Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 9.08 shall constitute conclusive
evidence of an ownership interest in the relevant Securities, as if originally
issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found
at any time.

                                   ARTICLE 10

         SECTION 10.01.  Liability.  (a)  Except as expressly set forth in this
Declaration, the Preferred Securities Guarantee, the Common Securities
Guarantee and the terms of the Securities the Sponsor shall not be:

               (i) personally liable for the return of any portion of the
          capital contributions (or any return thereon) of the Holders of the
          Securities which shall be made solely from assets of the Trust; and

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

          (b) The Holder of the Common Securities shall be liable for all of the
debts and obligations of the Trust (other than with respect to the Securities)
to the extent not satisfied out of the Trust's assets.

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

         SECTION 10.02. Exculpation. (a) No Indemnified Person shall be liable,
responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Trust or any Covered
Person for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any act or omission
performed or omitted by such Indemnified Person in good faith on behalf of the
Trust and in a manner such Indemnified Person reasonably believed to be within
the scope of the authority conferred on such Indemnified Person by this
Declaration or by law, except that an Indemnified Person shall be liable for any
such loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of such Indemnified Person's gross

                                               40

<PAGE>

negligence (or, in the case of the Property Trustee, negligence) or willful
misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions.

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

         SECTION 10.03. Fiduciary Duty. (a) To the extent that, at law or in
equity, an Indemnified Person has duties (including fiduciary duties) and
liabilities relating thereto to the Trust or to any other Covered Person, an
Indemnified Person acting under this Declaration shall not be liable to the
Trust or to any other Covered Person for its good faith reliance on the
provisions of this Declaration. The provisions of this Declaration, to the
extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of an Indemnified Person
otherwise existing at law or in equity (other than the duties imposed on the
Property Trustee under the Trust Indenture Act), are agreed by the parties
hereto to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Indemnified Person.

          (b)   Unless otherwise expressly provided herein:

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

               (ii) whenever this Declaration or any other agreement
          contemplated herein or therein provides that an Indemnified Person
          shall act in a manner that is, or provides terms that are, fair and
          reasonable to the Trust or any Holder of Securities,

the Indemnified Person shall resolve such conflict of interest, take such action
or provide such terms, considering in each case the relative interest of each
party (including its own interest) to such conflict, agreement, transaction or
situation and the benefits and burdens relating to such interests, any customary
or accepted industry practices, and any applicable generally accepted accounting
practices or principles. In the absence of bad faith by the Indemnified Person,
the resolution, action or term so made, taken or provided by the Indemnified
Person shall not constitute a breach of this Declaration or any other agreement
contemplated herein

                                       41

<PAGE>

or of any duty or obligation of the Indemnified Person at law or in equity or
otherwise.

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

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

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

         SECTION 10.04. Indemnification. (a) To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, the Sponsor shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified
Person from and against any loss, damage, liability, tax, penalty, expense or
claim of any kind or nature whatsoever incurred by such Indemnified Person by
reason of the creation, operation or termination of the Trust or any act or
omission performed or omitted by such Indemnified Person in good faith on behalf
of the Trust and in a manner such Indemnified Person reasonably believed to be
within the scope of authority conferred on such Indemnified Person by this
Declaration, except that no Indemnified Person shall be entitled to be
indemnified in respect of any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Indemnified
Person by reason of gross negligence (or, in the case of the Property Trustee,
negligence) or willful misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions.

          (b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, expenses
(including legal fees and expenses) incurred by an Indemnified Person in
defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to
time, be advanced by the Sponsor prior to the final disposition of such claim,
demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Sponsor of an undertaking
by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall be
determined that the Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified as
authorized in Section 10.03(a). The indemnification shall survive the
termination of this Declaration.

         SECTION 10.05.  Outside Businesses. Any Covered Person, the Sponsor,
the Delaware Trustee and the Property Trustee may engage in or possess an
interest in other business ventures of any nature or description, independently
or

                                       42

<PAGE>

with others, similar or dissimilar to the business of the Trust, and the Trust
and the Holders of Securities shall have no rights by virtue of this Declaration
in and to such independent ventures or the income or profits derived therefrom
and the pursuit of any such venture, even if competitive with the business of
the Trust, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper. No Covered Person, the
Sponsor, the Delaware Trustee, or the Property Trustee shall be obligated to
present any particular investment or other opportunity to the Trust even if such
opportunity is of a character that, if presented to the Trust, could be taken by
the Trust, and any Covered Person, the Sponsor, the Delaware Trustee and the
Property Trustee shall have the right to take for its own account (individually
or as a partner or fiduciary) or to recommend to others any such particular
investment or other opportunity. Any Covered Person, the Delaware Trustee and
the Property Trustee may engage or be interested in any financial or other
transaction with the Sponsor or any Affiliate of the Sponsor, or may act as
depositary for, trustee or agent for, or act on any committee or body of holders
of, securities or other obligations of the Sponsor or its Affiliates.

                                   ARTICLE 11
                                   ACCOUNTING

         SECTION 11.01.  Fiscal Year.  The fiscal year ("Fiscal Year") of the
Trust shall be the calendar year, or such other year as is required by the Code.

         SECTION 11.02. Certain Accounting Matters. (a) At all times during the
existence of the Trust, the Regular Trustees shall keep, or cause to be kept,
full books of account, records and supporting documents, which shall reflect in
reasonable detail, each transaction of the Trust. The books of account shall be
maintained on the accrual method of accounting, in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, consistently applied. The Trust shall use the
accrual method of accounting for United States federal income tax purposes. The
books of account and the records of the Trust shall be examined by and reported
upon as of the end of each Fiscal Year by a firm of independent certified public
accountants selected by the Regular Trustees.

          (b) The Regular Trustees shall cause to be prepared and delivered to
each of the Holders of Securities, within 90 days after the end of each Fiscal
Year of the Trust, 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;

                                       43

<PAGE>

          (c) The Regular Trustees shall cause to be duly prepared and delivered
to each of the Holders of Securities, any annual United States federal income
tax information statement, required by the Code, containing such information
with regard to the Securities held by each Holder as is required by the Code and
the Treasury Regulations. Notwithstanding any right under the Code to deliver
any such statement at a later date, the Regular Trustees shall endeavor to
deliver all such statements within 30 days after the end of each Fiscal Year of
the Trust.

          (d) The Regular Trustees shall cause to be duly prepared and filed
with the appropriate taxing authority, an annual United States federal income
tax return, on a Form 1041 or such other form required by United States federal
income tax law, and any other annual income tax returns required to be filed by
the Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust with any state or local taxing
authority.

         SECTION 11.03. Banking. The Trust shall maintain one or more bank
accounts in the name and for the sole benefit of the Trust; provided, however,
that all payments of funds in respect of the Debentures held by the Property
Trustee shall be made directly to the Property Trustee Account and no other
funds of the Trust shall be deposited in the Property Trustee Account. The sole
signatories for such accounts shall be designated by the Regular Trustees;
provided, however, that the Property Trustee shall designate the signatories for
the Property Trustee Account.

         SECTION 11.04. Withholding. The Trust and the Regular Trustees shall
comply with all withholding requirements under United States federal, state and
local law. The Trust shall request, and the Holders shall provide to the Trust,
such forms or certificates as are necessary to establish an exemption from
withholding with respect to each Holder, and any representations and forms as
shall reasonably be requested by the Trust to assist it in determining the
extent of, and in fulfilling, its withholding obligations. The Regular Trustee
shall file required forms with applicable jurisdictions and, unless an exemption
from withholding is properly established by a Holder, shall remit amounts
withheld with respect to the Holder to applicable jurisdictions. To the extent
that the Trust is required to withhold and pay over any amounts to any authority
with respect to distributions or allocations to any Holder, the amount withheld
shall be deemed to be a distribution in the amount of the withholding to the
Holder. In the event of any claimed over withholding, Holders shall be limited
to an action against the applicable jurisdiction. If the amount required to be
withheld was not withheld from actual Distributions made to any Holder, the
Trust may reduce subsequent Distributions to such Holder by the amount of such
withholding.

                    Company required to be registered under the Investment
                    Company Act;

          (c) at such time after the Trust has issued any Securities that remain

         SECTION 12.02. Meetings of the Holders of Securities; Action by Written
Consent. (a) Meetings of the Holders of any class of Securities may be called at
any time by the Regular Trustees (or as provided in the terms of the Securities)
to consider and act on any matter on which Holders of such class of Securities
are entitled to act under the terms of this Declaration, the terms of the
Securities or the rules of any stock exchange on which the Preferred Securities
are listed or admitted for trading. The Regular Trustees shall call a meeting of
the Holders of such class if directed to do so by the Holders of at least 10% in
liquidation preference of such class of Securities. Such direction shall be
given by delivering to the Regular Trustees one or more requests in a writing
stating that the signing Holders of Securities wish to call a meeting and
indicating the general or specific purpose for which the meeting is to be
called. Any Holders of Securities calling a meeting shall specify in writing the
Certificates held by the Holders of Securities exercising the right to call a
meeting and only those Securities represented by the Certificates so specified
shall be counted for purposes of determining whether the required percentage set
forth in the second sentence of this paragraph has been met.

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

               (i) notice of any such meeting shall be given to all the Holders
          of Securities having a right to vote thereat at least 7 days and not
          more than 60 days before the date of such meeting. Whenever a vote,
          consent or approval of the Holders of Securities is permitted or
          required under this Declaration or the rules of any stock exchange on
          which the Preferred Securities are listed or admitted for trading,
          such vote, consent or approval may be given at a meeting of the
          Holders of Securities. Any action that may be taken at a meeting of
          the Holders of Securities may be taken without a meeting if a consent
          in writing setting forth the action so taken is signed by the Holders
          of Securities owning not less than the minimum aggregate liquidation
          preference of Securities that would be necessary to authorize or take
          such action at a meeting at which all Holders of Securities having a
          right to vote thereon were present and voting. Prompt notice of the
          taking of action without a meeting shall be given to the Holders of
          Securities entitled to vote who have not consented in writing. The
          Regular Trustees may specify that any written ballot submitted to the
          Security Holders for the purpose of taking any action without a
          meeting

                                       47

<PAGE>

         shall be returned to the Trust within the time specified by the Regular
         Trustees;

               (ii) each Holder of a Security may authorize any Person to act
          for it by proxy on all matters in which a Holder of Securities is
          entitled to participate, including waiving notice of any meeting, or
          voting or participating at a meeting. No proxy shall be valid after
          the expiration of 11 months from the date thereof unless otherwise
          provided in the proxy. Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure
          of the Holder of Securities executing it. Except as otherwise provided
          herein, all matters relating to the giving, voting or validity of
          proxies shall be governed by the General Corporation Law of the State
          of Delaware relating to proxies, and judicial interpretations
          thereunder, as if the Trust were a Delaware corporation and the
          Holders of the Securities were stockholders of a Delaware corporation;

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

               (iv) unless the Statutory Trust Act, this Declaration, the terms
          of the Securities, the Trust Indenture Act or the listing rules of any
          stock exchange on which the Preferred Securities are then listed or
          trading, provide otherwise, the Regular Trustees, in their sole
          discretion, shall establish all other provisions relating to meetings
          of Holders of Securities, including notice of the time, place or
          purpose of any meeting at which any matter is to be voted on by any
          Holders of Securities, waiver of any such notice, action by consent
          without a meeting, the establishment of a record date, quorum
          requirements, voting in person or by proxy or any other matter with
          respect to the exercise of any such right to vote.

            REPRESENTATIONS OF PROPERTY TRUSTEE AND DELAWARE TRUSTEE

         SECTION 13.01. Representations and Warranties of Property Trustee. The
Trustee that acts as initial Property Trustee represents and warrants to the

Closing, and each Successor Property Trustee represents and warrants to the
Trust and the Sponsor at the time of the Successor Property Trustee's acceptance

<PAGE>

          (a) The Property Trustee is a banking corporation with trust powers,
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization, with corporate power and authority to execute
and deliver, and to carry out and perform its obligations under the terms of,
the Declaration.

          (b) The execution, delivery and performance by the Property Trustee of
the Declaration has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on
the part of the Property Trustee. The Declaration has been duly executed and
delivered by the Property Trustee, and constitutes a legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Property Trustee, enforceable against it in accordance with
its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium,
insolvency, and other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and to
general principles of equity and the discretion of the court (regardless of
whether the enforcement of such remedies is considered in a proceeding in equity
or at law).

          (c) The execution, delivery and performance of the Declaration by the

                                    TERMS OF
                           [___]% PREFERRED SECURITIES
                            [___] % COMMON SECURITIES

         Pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Amended and Restated Declaration of
Trust, dated as of [Date] (as amended from time to time, the "Declaration"), the
designation, rights, privileges, restrictions, preferences and other terms and
provisions of the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities are set out
below (each capitalized term used but not defined herein has the meaning set
forth in the Declaration or, if not defined in such Declaration, as defined in
the Prospectus Supplement referred to below):

  1.   Designation and Number.

          (a)  "Preferred Securities." [_______] Preferred Securities of the
               Trust with an aggregate liquidation preference with respect to
               the assets of the Trust of [__________] Dollars ($[_________])[,
               plus up to an additional [______________] Preferred Securities of
               the Trust with an aggregate liquidation preference with respect
               to the assets of the Trust of [______________] Dollars
               ($[________]) solely to cover over-allotments, as provided for in
               the underwriting agreement (the "Additional Preferred
               Securities"),] and a liquidation preference with respect to the
               assets of the Trust of $[ ] per Preferred Security, are hereby
               designated for the purposes of identification only as "[___]%
               Preferred Securities (liquidation preference $[__] per Preferred
               Security)" (the "Preferred Securities"). The Preferred Security
               Certificates evidencing the Preferred Securities shall be
               substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-1, with
               such changes and additions thereto or deletions therefrom as may
               be required by ordinary usage, custom or practice or to conform
               to the rules of any stock exchange or other organization on which
               the Preferred Securities are listed.

          (b)  "Common Securities." [_____] Common Securities of the Trust with
               an aggregate liquidation preference with respect to the assets of
               the Trust of [_______________________] Dollars ($[________])[,
               plus up to an additional [____] Common Securities of the Trust
               with an aggregate liquidation preference with respect to the
               assets of the Trust of [____________________] Dollars
               ($[_______]) to meet the capital requirements of the Trust in the
               event of an issuance of Additional Preferred Securities,] and a
               liquidation amount with

<PAGE>

                respect to the assets of the Trust of $[__] per Common Security,
                are hereby designated for the purposes of identification only as
                "[___]% Common Securities (liquidation amount $[__] per Common
                Security)" (the "Common Securities"). The Common Security
                Certificates evidencing the Common Securities shall be
                substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-2, with
                such changes and additions thereto or deletions therefrom as may
                be required by ordinary usage, custom or practice.

  2.   Distributions.

          (a)  Distributions payable on each Security will be fixed at a rate
               per annum of [___]% (the "Coupon Rate") of the stated liquidation
               amount of $[__] per Security, such rate being the rate of
               interest payable on the Debentures to be held by the Property
               Trustee. Distributions in arrears for more than one [semi-annual
               period] [quarter] will bear interest thereon compounded
               [semi-annually] [quarterly] at the Coupon Rate (to the extent
               permitted by applicable law). The term "Distributions" as used
               herein includes such cash distributions and any such interest
               payable unless otherwise stated. A Distribution is payable only
               to the extent that payments are made in respect of the Debentures
               held by the Property Trustee and to the extent the Property
               Trustee has funds available therefor. The amount of Distributions
               payable for any period will be computed for any full
               [semi-annually] [quarterly] Distribution period on the basis of a
               360- day year of twelve 30-day months, and for any period shorter
               than a full [semi-annually] [quarterly] Distribution period for
               which Distributions are computed, Distributions will be computed
               on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed per 30-day
               month.

          (b)  Distributions on the Securities will be cumulative, will accrue
               from the date of original issuance and will be payable
               [semi-annually] [quarterly] in arrears, on the following dates,
               which dates correspond to the interest payment dates on the
               Debentures: [_________], of each year, commencing on
               [________________], except as otherwise described below. The
               Debenture Issuer has the right under the Indenture to defer
               payments of interest by extending the interest payment period
               from time to time on the Debentures for a period not exceeding
               [_________] consecutive [semi-annual periods] [quarters] (each an
               "Extension Period") and, as a consequence of such deferral,
               Distributions will also be deferred. Despite such deferral,
               [semi-annually] [quarterly] Distributions will continue to accrue
               with interest thereon (to the extent permitted by applicable law)
               at the

                                       I-2

<PAGE>

                Coupon Rate compounded [semi-annually] [quarterly] during any
                such Extension Period. Prior to the termination of any such
                Extension Period, the Debenture Issuer may further extend such
                Extension Period; provided that such Extension Period together
                with all such previous and further extensions thereof may not
                exceed [_________] consecutive [semi-annual periods] [quarters].
                Payments of accrued Distributions will be payable to Holders as
                they appear on the books and records of the Trust on the first
                record date after the end of the Extension Period. Upon the
                termination of any Extension Period and the payment of all
                amounts then due, the Debenture Issuer may commence a new
                Extension Period, subject to the above requirements.

          (c)  Distributions on the Securities will be payable to the Holders
               thereof as they appear on the books and records of the Trust on
               the relevant record dates. The relevant record dates shall be 15
               days prior to the relevant payment dates, except as otherwise
               described in this Annex I to the Declaration. Subject to any
               applicable laws and regulations and the provisions of the
               Declaration, each such payment in respect of Preferred Securities
               being held in book-entry form through The Depository Trust
               Company (the "Depositary") will be made as described under the
               heading ["Description of the Preferred Securities -- Book-Entry
               Only Issuance-- The Depository Trust Company"] in the Prospectus
               Supplement. The relevant record dates for the Common Securities
               shall be the same record dates as for the Preferred Securities.
               Distributions payable on any Securities that are not punctually
               paid on any Distribution payment date, as a result of the
               Debenture Issuer having failed to make a payment under the
               Debentures, will cease to be payable to the Person in whose name
               such Securities are registered on the relevant record date, and
               such defaulted Distribution will instead be payable to the Person
               in whose name such Securities are registered on the special
               record date or other specified date determined in accordance with
               the Indenture. If any date on which Distributions are payable on
               the Securities is not a Business Day, then payment of the
               Distribution payable on such date will be made on the next
               succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest
               or other payment in respect of any such delay) except that, if
               such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, such
               payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day,
               in each case with the same force and effect as if made on such
               date.

                                       I-3

<PAGE>

          (d)  In the event that there is any money or other property held by or
               for the Trust that is not accounted for hereunder, such property
               shall be distributed Pro Rata (as defined herein) among the
               Holders of the Securities.

          3.   Liquidation Distribution Upon Dissolution.

         In the event of any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, winding-up or
termination of the Trust, the Holders of the Securities on the date of the
dissolution, winding-up or termination, as the case may be, will be entitled to
receive out of the assets of the Trust available for distribution to Holders of
Securities after satisfaction of liabilities of creditors of the trust an amount
equal to the aggregate of the stated liquidation preference of $[__] per
Security plus accrued and unpaid Distributions thereon to the date of payment
(such amount being the "Liquidation Distribution"), unless, in connection with
such dissolution, winding-up or termination, Debentures in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the aggregate stated liquidation preference of such
Securities, with an interest rate equal to the Coupon Rate of, and bearing
accrued and unpaid interest in an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid
Distributions on, such Securities, shall be distributed on a Pro Rata basis to
the Holders of the Securities in exchange for such Securities.

         If, upon any such dissolution, 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 the amounts payable directly by the
Trust on the Securities shall be paid on a Pro Rata basis in accordance with
paragraph 9 hereof.

          4.   Redemption and Distribution.

          (a)  Upon the repayment or payment of the Debentures in whole or in
               part, whether at maturity or upon redemption or otherwise, the
               proceeds from such repayment or redemption shall be
               simultaneously applied to redeem Securities having an aggregate
               liquidation preference equal to the aggregate principal amount of
               the Debentures so repaid or redeemed at a redemption price of
               $[__] per Security together with accrued and unpaid Distributions
               thereon through the date of the redemption, payable in cash (the
               "Redemption Price"). Holders will be given not less than 30 nor
               more than 60 days' notice of such redemption. Upon the repayment
               of the Debentures at maturity or upon any acceleration, earlier
               redemption or otherwise, the proceeds from such repayment will be
               applied to redeem the

                                               I-4

<PAGE>

               Securities, in whole, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60
               days' notice.

          (b)  If fewer than all the outstanding Securities are to be so
               redeemed, the Common Securities and the Preferred Securities will
               be redeemed Pro Rata and the Preferred Securities to be redeemed
               will be as described in Paragraph 4(e)(ii) below.

          (c)  If, at any time, a Tax Event shall occur and be continuing the
               Sponsor shall cause the Regular Trustees to liquidate the Trust
               and, after satisfaction of creditors of the Trust, cause
               Debentures to be distributed to the Holders of the Securities in
               liquidation of the Trust within 90 days following the occurrence
               of such Tax Event (the "90 Day Period"); provided, however, that
               such liquidation and distribution shall be conditioned on (i) the
               Regular Trustees' receipt of an opinion of a nationally
               recognized independent tax counsel (reasonably acceptable to the
               Regular Trustees) experienced in such matters (a "No Recognition
               Opinion"), which opinion may rely on published revenue rulings of
               the Internal Revenue Service, to the effect that the Holders of
               the Securities will not recognize any income, gain or loss for
               United States Federal income tax purposes as a result of such
               liquidation and distribution of Debentures, and (ii) the Sponsor
               being unable to avoid such Tax Event within such 90 Day Period by
               taking some ministerial action or pursuing some other reasonable
               measure that, in the sole judgment of the Sponsor, will have no
               adverse effect on the Trust, the Sponsor or the Holders of the
               Securities and will involve no material cost ("Ministerial
               Action").

                           If (i) the Debenture Issuer has received an opinion
                (a "Redemption Tax Opinion") of a nationally recognized
                independent tax counsel (reasonably acceptable to the Regular
                Trustees) experienced in such matters that, as a result of a Tax
                Event, there is more than an insubstantial risk that the
                Debenture Issuer would be precluded from deducting the interest
                on the Debentures for United States Federal income tax purposes,
                even after the Debentures were distributed to the Holders of
                Securities upon liquidation of the Trust as described in this
                paragraph 4(c), or (ii) the Regular Trustees shall have been
                informed by such tax counsel that it cannot deliver a No
                Recognition Opinion, the Debenture Issuer shall have the right,
                upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, and within
                90 days following the occurrence of such Tax Event, to redeem
                the Debentures in whole (but not in part) for cash, at the Tax

                Event Prepayment Price plus accrued and unpaid interest and,
                following such redemption, all the Securities will be redeemed
                by the Trust at the Tax Event Redemption Price plus accrued and
                unpaid distributions; provided, however, that, if at the time
                there is available to the Debenture Issuer or the Trust the
                opportunity to eliminate, within such 90 Day Period, the Tax
                Event by taking some Ministerial Action, the Trust or the
                Debenture Issuer will pursue such Ministerial Action in lieu of
                redemption.

                           "Adjusted Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any
                prepayment date, the rate per annum equal to the [semi-annual]
                equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue,
                assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as
                a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable
                Treasury Price for such prepayment date.

                           "Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States
                Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a
                maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Debentures to
                be prepaid that would be utilized, at the time of selection and
                in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new
                issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to
                the remaining term of the Debentures.

                           "Comparable Treasury Price" means, with respect to
                any prepayment date, (i) the average of the bid and asked prices
                for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a
                percentage of its principal amount) on the third Business Day
                preceding such prepayment date, as set forth in the daily
                statistical release (or any successor release) published by the
                Federal Reserve Bank of New York and designated "Composite 3:30
                p.m. Quotations for U.S. Government Securities" or (ii) if such
                release (or any successor release) is not published or does not
                contain such prices on such Business Day, (A) the average of the
                Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such prepayment date,
                after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury
                Dealer Quotations, or (B) if the Debenture Trustee obtains fewer
                than three such Reference Treasury Dealer quotations, the
                average of all such Quotations.

                           "Quotation Agent" means the Reference Treasury Dealer
                appointed by the Debenture Issuer.

                           "Reference Treasury Dealer" means a nationally
                recognized U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City
                selected by the Debenture Issuer.

                           "Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations" means, with
                respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any prepayment
                date, the average, as determined by the Debenture Trustee, of
                the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue
                (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount)
                quoted in writing to the Debenture Trustee by such Reference
                Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third
                Business Day preceding such repayment date.

                           "Tax Event" means that the Sponsor shall have
                received an opinion of a nationally recognized independent tax
                counsel (reasonably acceptable to the Regular Trustees)
                experienced in such matters (a "Dissolution Tax Opinion") to the
                effect that as a result of (a) any amendment to, or change
                (including any announced prospective change) in, the laws (or
                any regulations thereunder) of the United States or any
                political subdivision or taxing authority therefor or therein,
                or (b) any amendment to, or change in, an interpretation or
                application of any such laws or regulations by any legislative
                body, court, governmental agency or regulatory authority
                (including the enactment of any legislation and the publication
                of any judicial decision or regulatory determination on or after
                the date of the Prospectus Supplement), which amendment or
                change is effective or which interpretation or pronouncement is
                announced on or after the date of the Prospectus Supplement,
                there is more than an insubstantial risk that (i) the Trust is
                or will be subject to United States Federal income tax with
                respect to interest received on the Debentures, (ii) interest
                payable by the Debenture Issuer to the Trust on the Debentures
                is not or will not be deductible by the Debenture Issuer for
                United States Federal income tax purposes, or (iii) the Trust
                is, or will be within 90 days of the date thereof, subject to
                more than a de minimis amount of taxes, duties, assessments or
                other governmental charges.

                           "Tax Event Prepayment Price" means a prepayment price
                equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount thereof
                or (2) the sum, as determined by a Quotation Agent, of the
                present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal
                and interest (after giving effect to payment of accrued interest
                to the date of prepayment on the Debentures after the prepayment
                date), discounted

                                       I-7

<PAGE>

                to the prepayment date on a [semi-annual] basis at the Adjusted
                Treasury Rate plus basis points if prepaid on or prior to , and
                basis points if prepaid thereafter, plus, in any case, accrued
                and unpaid interest to the prepayment date.

                           "Tax Event Redemption Price" means the redemption
                price equal to the Tax Event Prepayment Price upon an optional
                prepayment by the Debenture Issuer of the Debentures upon the
                occurrence and continuation of a Tax Event.

                           If an Investment Company Event (as hereinafter
                defined) shall occur and be continuing, the Sponsor shall cause
                the Regular Trustees to liquidate the Trust and cause the
                Debentures to be distributed to the Holders of the Securities in
                liquidation of the Trust within 90 days following the occurrence
                of such Investment Company Event.

                           "Investment Company Event" means the occurrence of a
                change in law or regulation or a written change in
                interpretation or application of law or regulation by any
                legislative body, court, governmental agency or regulatory
                authority (a "Change in 1940 Act Law"), to the effect that the
                Trust is or will be considered an "investment company" which is
                required to be registered under the United States Investment
                Company Act, as amended, which Change in 1940 Act Law becomes
                effective on or after the date of the Prospectus Supplement.

                           After the date fixed for any distribution of
                Debentures: (i) the Securities will no longer be deemed to be
                outstanding, (ii) the Depositary or its nominee (or any
                successor Clearing Agency or its nominee), as record Holder of
                Preferred Securities represented by global certificates, will
                receive a registered global certificate or certificates
                representing the Debentures to be delivered upon such
                distribution and (iii) any certificates representing Securities,
                except for certificates representing Preferred Securities held
                by the Depositary or its nominee (or any successor Clearing
                Agency or its nominee), will be deemed to represent Debentures
                having an aggregate principal preference equal to the aggregate
                stated liquidation preference of such Securities, with accrued
                and unpaid interest equal to accrued and unpaid Distributions on
                such Securities until such certificates are presented to the
                Debenture Issuer or its agent for transfer or reissuance.

          (d)  The Securities will not be redeemed unless all accrued and unpaid
               Distributions have been paid on all Securities for all
               [semi-annual] [quarterly] Distribution periods terminating on or
               before the date of redemption.

          (e)  "Redemption or Distribution Procedures."

                    (i)  Notice of any redemption of, or notice of distribution
                         of Debentures in exchange for the Securities (a
                         "Redemption/Distribution Notice") will be given by the
                         Trust by mail to each Holder of Securities to be
                         redeemed or exchanged not fewer than 30 nor more than
                         60 days before the date fixed for redemption or
                         exchange thereof which, in the case of a redemption,
                         will be the date fixed for redemption of the
                         Debentures. For purposes of the calculation of the date
                         of redemption or exchange and the dates on which
                         notices are given pursuant to this paragraph 4(f)(i), a
                         Redemption/Distribution Notice shall be deemed to be
                         given on the day such notice is first mailed by
                         first-class mail, postage prepaid, to Holders of
                         Securities. Each Redemption/Distribution Notice shall
                         be addressed to the Holders of Securities at the
                         address of each such Holder appearing in the books and
                         records of the Trust. No defect in the
                         Redemption/Distribution Notice or in the mailing of
                         either thereof with respect to any Holder shall affect
                         the validity of the redemption or exchange proceedings
                         with respect to any other Holder.

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

                   (iii) If Securities are to be redeemed and the Trust gives a
                         Redemption/Distribution Notice, which notice may only
                         be issued if the Debentures are redeemed as set out in
                         this paragraph 4 (which notice will be irrevocable),
                         then (A) with

<PAGE>

                         respect to Preferred Securities held in book-entry
                         form, by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the
                         redemption date, provided that the Debenture Issuer
                         has paid the Property Trustee a sufficient amount of
                         cash in connection with the related redemption or
                         maturity of the Debentures, the Property Trustee will
                         deposit irrevocably with the Depositary (or successor
                         clearing agency) funds sufficient to pay the amount
                         payable on redemption with respect to such Preferred
                         Securities and will give the Depositary irrevocable
                         instructions and authority to pay the amount payable
                         on redemption to the Holders of such Preferred
                         Securities, and (B) with respect to Preferred
                         Securities issued in certificated form and Common
                         Securities, provided that the Debenture Issuer has
                         paid the Property Trustee a sufficient amount of cash
                         in connection with the related redemption or maturity
                         of the Debentures, the Property Trustee will
                         irrevocably deposit with the Paying Agent funds
                         sufficient to pay the amount payable on redemption to
                         the Holders of such Securities upon surrender of their
                         certificates. If a Redemption/Distribution Notice
                         shall have been given and funds deposited as required,
                         then on the date of such deposit, all rights of
                         Holders of such Securities so called for redemption
                         will cease, except the right of the Holders of such
                         Securities to receive the redemption price, but
                         without interest on such redemption price. Neither the
                         Regular Trustees nor the Trust shall be required to
                         register or cause to be registered the transfer of any
                         Securities that have been so called for redemption. If
                         any date fixed for redemption of Securities is not a
                         Business Day, then payment of the amount payable on
                         such date will be made on the next succeeding day that
                         is a Business Day (without any interest or other
                         payment in respect of any such delay) except that, if
                         such Business Day falls in the next calendar year, such
                         payment will be made on the immediately preceding
                         Business Day, in each case with the same force and
                         effect as if made on such date fixed for redemption.
                         If payment of the redemption price in respect of any
                         Securities is improperly withheld or refused and not
                         paid either by the Trust or by the Sponsor as
                         guarantor pursuant to the relevant Securities
                         Guarantee, Distributions on such Securities will
                         continue to accrue at the then applicable rate,
                         from the original redemption date to the date of
                         payment, in which case the actual payment date will be
                         considered the date fixed for redemption for purposes
                         of calculating the amount

                                      I-10

<PAGE>

                         payable upon redemption (other than for purposes of
                         calculating any premium).

                    (iv) Redemption/Distribution Notices shall be sent by the
                         Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust to (A) in the
                         case of Preferred Securities held in book-entry form,
                         the Depositary and, in the case of Securities held in

                         Preferred Securities by tender, in the open market or

  6.   Voting Rights - Preferred Securities.

          (a)   Except as provided under paragraph 7, in the Statutory Trust Act
                and as otherwise required by law and the Declaration, the
                Holders of the Preferred Securities will have no voting rights.

                Subject to the requirements set forth in this paragraph, the
                Holders of a majority in liquidation preference of the Preferred
                Securities, voting separately as a class may direct the time,
                method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
                available to the Property Trustee, or direct the exercise of any
                trust or power conferred upon the Property Trustee under the
                Declaration, including the right to direct the Property Trustee,
                as holder of the Debentures, to (i) exercise the remedies
                available under the Indenture with respect to the Debentures,
                (ii) waive any past default and its consequences that is
                waivable under Section 5.13 of the Indenture, or (iii) exercise
                any right to rescind or annul a declaration that the principal
                of all the Debentures shall be due and payable, provided,
                however, that, where a consent under the Indenture would require
                the consent or act of the Holders of greater than a majority of
                the Holders in principal amount of Debentures affected thereby
                (a "Super Majority"), the Property Trustee may only give such
                consent or take such action at the direction of the Holders of
                at least the proportion in liquidation preference of the
                Preferred Securities which the relevant Super Majority
                represents of the aggregate principal amount of the

                                      I-11

<PAGE>

                Debentures outstanding. The Property Trustee shall not revoke
                any action previously authorized or approved by a vote of the
                Holders of the Preferred Securities. Other than with respect to
                directing the time, method and place of conducting any remedy
                available to the Property Trustee or the Debenture Trustee as
                set forth above, the Property Trustee shall not take any action
                in accordance with the directions of the Holders of the
                Preferred Securities under this paragraph unless the Property
                Trustee has obtained an opinion of tax counsel to the effect
                that, as a result of such action, the Trust will not fail to be
                classified as a grantor trust or partnership for United States
                Federal income tax purposes. If the Property Trustee fails to
                enforce its rights, as holder of the Debentures, under the
                Indenture, any Holder of Preferred Securities may, after a
                period of 30 days has elapsed from such Holder's written request
                to the Property Trustee to enforce such rights, institute a
                legal proceeding directly against the Debenture Issuer, to
                enforce the rights of the Property Trustee, as holder of the
                Debentures, under the Indenture, without first instituting any
                legal proceeding against the Property Trustee or any other
                Person.

                Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Debenture Issuer
                shall fail to make any payment on the Debentures when due,
                holders of the Preferred Securities shall have the right to
                institute a direct action against the Debenture Issuer for
                payment of such amounts. Any required approval or direction of
                Holders of Preferred Securities may be given at a separate
                meeting of Holders of Preferred Securities convened for such
                purpose, at a meeting of all of the Holders of Securities in the
                Trust or pursuant to written consent. The Regular Trustees will
                cause a notice of any meeting at which Holders of Preferred
                Securities are entitled to vote, or of any matter upon which
                action by written consent of such Holders is to be taken, to be
                mailed to each Holder of record of Preferred Securities. Each
                such notice will include a statement setting forth the following
                information: (i) the date of such meeting or the date by which
                such action is to be taken, (ii) a description of any resolution
                proposed for adoption at such meeting on which such Holders are
                entitled to vote or of such matter upon which written consent is
                sought and (iii) instructions for the delivery of proxies or
                consents.

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

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

  7.   Voting Rights - Common Securities.

          (a)  The Holders of the Common Securities will only have such voting
               rights as provided under paragraphs 7(b), (c) and 8 herein, in
               the Statutory Trust Act and as otherwise required by law and the
               Declaration, the Holders of the Common Securities will have no
               voting rights.

          (b)  The Holders of the Common Securities are entitled, in accordance
               with Article 5 of the Declaration, to vote to appoint, remove or
               replace any Trustee.

          (c)  Subject to Section 2.06 of the Declaration and only after the
               Event of Default with respect to the Preferred Securities has
               been cured, waived, or otherwise eliminated and subject to the
               requirements of the second to last sentence of this paragraph,
               the Holders of a Majority in liquidation preference of the Common
               Securities, voting separately as a class, may direct the time,
               method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
               available to the Property Trustee, or exercising any trust or
               power conferred upon the Property Trustee under the Declaration,
               including (i) directing the time, method, place of conducting any
               proceeding for any remedy waivable to the Debenture Trustee, or
               exercising any trust or power conferred on the Debenture Trustee
               with respect to the Debentures, (ii) waive any past default and
               its consequences that is waivable under Section 5.13 of the
               Indenture, or (iii) exercise any right to rescind or annul a
               declaration that the principal of all the Debentures shall be due
               and payable, provided that, where a consent or action under the
               Indenture would require the consent or act of the Holders of
               greater than a majority in principal amount of Debentures
               affected thereby (a "Super Majority"), the Property Trustee may
               only give such consent or take such action at the direction of
               the Holders of at least the proportion in liquidation preference
               of the Common Securities which the relevant Super Majority
               represents of the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures
               outstanding. Pursuant

                to this paragraph 7(c), the Property Trustee shall not revoke
                any action previously authorized or approved by a vote of the
                Holders of the Preferred Securities. Other than with respect to
                directing the time, method and place of conducting any remedy
                available to the Property Trustee or the Debenture Trustee as
                set forth above, the Property Trustee shall not take any action
                in accordance with the directions of the Holders of the Common
                Securities under this paragraph unless the Property Trustee has
                obtained an opinion of tax counsel to the effect that, as a
                result of such action the Trust will not fail to be classified
                as a grantor trust or a partnership for United States Federal
                income tax purposes. If the Property Trustee fails to enforce
                its rights, as holder of the Debentures, under the Indenture,
                any Holder of Common Securities may, after a period of 30 days
                has elapsed from such Holder's written request to the Property
                Trustee to enforce such rights, institute a legal proceeding

                Trustee's rights, as holder of the Debentures, under the
                Indenture, without first instituting any legal proceeding
                against the Property Trustee or any other Person.

                Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Debenture Issuer
                shall fail to make any payment on the Debentures when due,
                Holders of the Common Securities shall have the right to
                institute a direct action against the Debenture Issuer for
                payment of such amounts. Any required approval or direction of
                Holders of Common Securities may be given at a separate meeting
                of Holders of Common Securities convened for such purpose, at a
                meeting of all of the Holders of Securities in the Trust or
                pursuant to written consent. The Regular Trustees will cause a
                notice of any meeting at which Holders of Common Securities are
                entitled to vote, or of any matter upon which action by written
                consent of such Holders is to be taken, to be mailed to each
                Holder of record of Common Securities. Each such notice will
                include a statement setting forth the following information: (i)
                the date of such meeting or the date by which such action is to
                be taken, (ii) a description of any resolution proposed for
                adoption at such meeting on which such Holders are entitled to
                vote or of such matter upon which written consent is sought and
                (iii) instructions for the delivery of proxies or consents.

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

  8.   Amendments to Declaration and Indenture.

          (a)  In addition to any requirements under Section 12.01 of the
               Declaration, if any proposed amendment to the Declaration
               provides for, or the Regular Trustees otherwise propose to
               effect, (i) any action that would adversely affect the powers,
               preferences or special rights of the Securities, whether by way
               of amendment to the Declaration or otherwise, or (ii) the
               dissolution, winding-up or termination of the Trust, other than
               as described in Section 8.01 of the Declaration, then the Holders
               of outstanding Securities as a class, will be entitled to vote on
               such amendment or proposal (but not on any other amendment or
               proposal) and such amendment or proposal shall not be effective
               except with the approval of the Holders of at least 66-2/3% in
               liquidation preference of the Securities, voting together as a
               single class; provided, however, if any amendment or proposal
               referred to in clause (i) above would adversely affect only the
               Preferred Securities or only the Common Securities, then only the
               affected 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 66-2/3% in liquidation preference of
               such class of Securities.

          (b)  In the event the consent of the Property Trustee as the holder of
               the Debentures is required under the Indenture with respect to
               any amendment, modification or termination on the Indenture or
               the Debentures, the Property Trustee shall request the direction
               of the Holders of the Securities with respect to such amendment,
               modification or termination and shall vote with respect to such
               amendment, modification or termination as directed by a Majority
               in liquidation preference of the Securities voting together as a
               single class; provided, however, that where a consent under the
               Indenture would require the consent of the holders of greater
               than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures
               (a "Super Majority"), the Property Trustee may only give such
               consent at the direction of the Holders of at least the same
               proportion in aggregate stated liquidation preference of the
               Securities; provided, further, that the Property Trustee shall
               not take any action in accordance with the directions of the
               Holders of the Securities under this paragraph 8(b) unless the
               Property Trustee has obtained an opinion of tax counsel to the
               effect that for the purposes of United States Federal income tax
               the Trust will not be classified as other than a grantor trust or
               partnership on account of such action.

or treatment as being "Pro Rata" shall mean pro rata to each Holder of
Securities according to the aggregate liquidation preference of the Securities
held by the relevant Holder in relation to the aggregate liquidation preference
of all Securities outstanding unless, on any distribution date or redemption
date an Event of Default under the Declaration has occurred and is continuing,
in which case no payment of any distribution on, or amount payable upon
redemption of, any Common Security, and no other payment on account of the
redemption, liquidation or other acquisition of Common Securities, shall be made

occurs and is continuing under the Indenture in respect of the Debentures held

payment in respect of Distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption
and otherwise are subordinated to the rights to payment of the Holders of the
Preferred Securities.

                PROPERTY TRUSTEE'S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION

         This is one of the Preferred Securities referred to in the
within-mentioned Declaration.

Dated: _________, ____

                               [PROPERTY TRUSTEE]
                               as Property Trustee

                           By:________________________
                                Authorized Signatory

                          [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]

         Distributions payable on each Preferred Security will be fixed at a
rate per annum of [___]% (the "Coupon Rate") of the stated liquidation
preference of $[__] per Preferred Security, such rate being the rate of interest
payable on the Debentures to be held by the Property Trustee. Distributions in
arrears for more than one [semi-annual period] [quarter] will bear interest
thereon compounded [semi-annually] [quarterly] at the Coupon Rate (to the extent
permitted by applicable law). The term "Distributions" as used herein includes
such cash distributions and any such interest payable unless otherwise stated. A
Distribution is payable only to the extent that payments are made in respect of
the Debentures held by the Property Trustee and to the extent the Property
Trustee has funds available therefor. The amount of Distributions payable for
any period will be computed for any full [semi-annual] [quarterly] Distribution
period on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, and for any
period shorter than a full [semi-annual] [quarterly] Distribution period for
which Distributions are computed, Distributions will be computed on the basis of
the actual number of days elapsed per 30-day month.

         Except as otherwise described below, distributions on the Preferred
Securities will be cumulative, will accrue from the date of original issuance
and will be payable [semi-annually] [quarterly] in arrears, on [______________]
of each year, commencing on [________________], to Holders of record fifteen
(15) days prior to such payment dates, which payment dates shall correspond to
the interest payment dates on the Debentures. The Debenture Issuer has the right
under the Indenture to defer payments of interest by extending the interest
payment period from time to time on the Debentures for a period not exceeding
[____] consecutive [semi-annual periods] [quarters] (each an "Extension Period")
and, as a consequence of such deferral, Distributions will also be deferred.
Despite such deferral, [semi-annual] [quarterly] Distributions will

                                      A1-3

<PAGE>

continue to accrue with interest thereon (to the extent permitted by applicable
law) at the Coupon Rate compounded [semi-annually] [quarterly] during any such
Extension Period. Prior to the termination of any such Extension Period, the
Debenture Issuer may further extend such Extension Period; provided that such
Extension Period together with all such previous and further extensions thereof
may not exceed [_____] consecutive [semi-annual periods] [quarters]. Payments of
accrued Distributions will be payable to Holders as they appear on the books and
records of the Trust on the first record date after the end of the Extension
Period. Upon the termination of any Extension Period and the payment of all
amounts then due, the Debenture Issuer may commence a new Extension Period,
subject to the above requirements.

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

                          [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]

         Distributions payable on each Common Security will be fixed at a rate
per annum of ___% (the "Coupon Rate") of the stated liquidation preference of
$[__] per Common Security, such rate being the rate of interest payable on the
Debentures to be held by the Property Trustee. Distributions in arrears for more

[semi-annually] [quarterly] at the Coupon Rate (to the extent permitted by
applicable law). The term "Distributions" as used herein includes such cash
distributions and any such interest payable unless otherwise stated. A
Distribution is payable only to the extent that payments are made in respect of
the Debentures held by the Property Trustee and to the extent the Property
Trustee has funds available therefor. The amount of Distributions payable for
any period will be computed for any full [semi-annual] [quarterly] Distribution
period on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, and for any

         Except as otherwise described below, distributions on the Common

and will be payable [semi-annually] [quarterly] in arrears, on

Issuer has the right under the Indenture to defer payments of interest by
extending the interest payment period from time to time on the Debentures for a
period not exceeding [_______] consecutive [semi-annual] [quarterly] periods
(each an "Extension Period") and, as a consequence of such deferral,
Distributions will also be deferred. Despite such deferral, [semi-annual]
[quarterly] Distributions will continue to accrue with interest thereon (to the
extent permitted by applicable law) at the Coupon Rate compounded
[semi-annually] [quarterly] during any such Extension Period. Prior to the
termination of any such Extension Period, the Debenture Issuer may further
extend such Extension Period; provided that such Extension Period together with
all such previous and further extensions thereof may not exceed [______]
consecutive [semi-annual] [quarterly] periods. Payments of accrued Distributions
will be payable to Holders as they appear on the books and records of the Trust

Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Purchase Contract
Agent in writing and to each Holder of Securities in the manner set forth in
Section 1.06.

      With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the Company
may designate any date as the "Expiration Date" and from time to time may
change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such
change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is
given to the Purchase Contract Agent in writing, and to each Holder of
Securities in the manner set forth in Section 1.06, prior to or on the existing
Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any
record date set pursuant to this Section, the Company shall be deemed to have
initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration
Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date
as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration
Date shall be later than the 180th day after the applicable record date.

      SECTION 1.06.  Notice to Holders; Waiver.

      Where this Agreement provides for notice to Holders of any event, such
notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided)
if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected
by such event, at its address as it appears in the Security Register, not later
than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date,

                                       15
<PAGE>

prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders
is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in
any notice so mailed to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of
such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Agreement provides for
notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person
entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such
waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders
shall be filed with the Purchase Contract Agent, but such filing shall not be a
condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such
waiver.

      In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason
of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then
such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Purchase Contract
Agent shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

      SECTION 1.07.  Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.

      The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for

      SECTION 1.09.  Separability Clause.

      In case any provision in this Agreement or in the Securities shall be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions hereof and thereof shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby.

      SECTION 1.10.  Benefits of Agreement.

      Nothing contained in this Agreement or in the Securities, express or
implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their
successors hereunder and, to the extent provided hereby, the Holders, any
benefits or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement.
The Holders from time to time shall be beneficiaries of this Agreement and
shall be bound by all of the terms and conditions hereof and of the Securities
evidenced by their Certificates by their acceptance of delivery of such
Certificates.

      SECTION 1.11.  Governing Law.

      This Agreement and the Securities shall be governed by, and construed in

      SECTION 1.12.  Legal Holidays.

      In any case where any Payment Date shall not be a Business Day
(notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Securities),
Purchase Contract Payments or other distributions shall not be paid on such
date, but Purchase Contract Payments or such other distributions shall be paid
on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made
on such Payment Date, provided that no interest shall accrue or be payable by
the Company or to any Holder for the period from and after any such Payment
Date, except that, if such next succeeding Business Day is in the next
succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately
preceding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such
Payment Date.

      In any case where any Purchase Contract Settlement Date or Early
Settlement Date shall not be a Business Day (notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement or the Securities) Purchase Contracts shall not be
performed and Early Settlement shall not be effected on such date, but Purchase
Contracts shall be performed or Early Settlement effected, as applicable, on
the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on
such Purchase Contract Settlement Date or Early Settlement Date, as applicable.

      SECTION 1.13.  Counterparts.

      This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts by the
parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed and
delivered, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall
together constitute one and the same instrument.

      SECTION 1.14.  Inspection of Agreement.

      A copy of this Agreement shall be available at all reasonable times
during normal business hours at the Corporate Trust Office for inspection by
any Holder or Beneficial Owner.

      SECTION 1.15. Appointment of Financial Institution as Agent for the
Company.

      The Company may appoint a financial institution (which may be the
Collateral Agent) to act as its agent in performing its obligations and in
accepting and enforcing performance of the obligations of the Purchase Contract
Agent and the Holders, under this Agreement and the Purchase Contracts, by
giving notice of such appointment in the manner provided in Section 1.05
hereof. Any such appointment shall not relieve the Company in any way from its
obligations hereunder.

      OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL SINCE THE REGISTERED OWNER
      HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN."

      SECTION 2.02. Form of Purchase Contract Agent's Certificate of
Authentication.

      The form of the Purchase Contract Agent's certificate of authentication
of the Securities shall be in substantially the form set forth on the form of
the applicable Certificates.

                                   ARTICLE 3
                                 THE SECURITIES

      SECTION 3.01.  Amount; Form and Denominations.

      The aggregate number of Securities evidenced by Certificates
authenticated, executed on behalf of the Holders and delivered hereunder is
limited to ______________ [(_____________ if the over-allotment option granted
in the Underwriting Agreement is exercised in full)], except for Certificates
authenticated, executed and delivered upon registration of transfer of, in
exchange for, or in lieu of, other Certificates pursuant to Sections 3.04,
3.05, 3.10, 3.13, 3.14, 5.07 or 8.05.

      The Certificates shall be issuable only in registered form and only in
denominations of a single Stock Purchase Unit or Treasury Stock Purchase Unit
and any integral multiple thereof.

      SECTION 3.02.  Rights and Obligations Evidenced by the Certificates.

      Each Stock Purchase Units Certificate shall evidence the number of Stock
Purchase Units specified therein, with each such Stock Purchase Unit
representing (1) the ownership by the Holder thereof of a beneficial interest
in a Preferred Security, a [Subordinated] Note or the Applicable Ownership
Interest of the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be, subject to the Pledge
of such Preferred Security, such [Subordinated] Note or the Applicable
Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term)
of the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be, by such Holder pursuant to the
Pledge Agreement, and (2) the rights and obligations of the Holder thereof and
the Company under one Purchase Contract. The Purchase Contract Agent, as
attorney-in-fact for, and on behalf of, the Holder of each Stock Purchase Unit
shall pledge, pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, the Preferred Security, the
[Subordinated] Note or the Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in
clause (A) of the definition of such term) of the Treasury Portfolio, as the
case may be, forming a part of such Stock Purchase Unit, to the Collateral
Agent and grant to the Collateral Agent a security interest in the right, title
and interest of such Holder in such Preferred Security, such [Subordinated]
Note or the Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the
definition of such term) of the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be, for the
benefit of the Company, to secure the obligation of the

                                       19
<PAGE>

Holder under each Purchase Contract to purchase shares of Common Stock.

      Upon the formation of a Treasury Stock Purchase Unit pursuant to Section
3.13, each Treasury Stock Purchase Units Certificate shall evidence the number
of Treasury Stock Purchase Units specified therein, with each such Treasury
Stock Purchase Unit representing (1) the ownership by the Holder thereof of a
1/40 undivided beneficial interest in a Treasury Security with a principal
amount equal to $1,000, subject to the Pledge of such Treasury Security by such
Holder pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, and (2) the rights and obligations of
the Holder thereof and the Company under one Purchase Contract.

      Prior to the purchase of shares of Common Stock under each Purchase
Contract, such Purchase Contracts shall not entitle the Holder of a Security to
any of the rights of a holder of shares of Common Stock, including, without
limitation, the right to vote or receive any dividends or other payments or to
consent or to receive notice as a shareholder in respect of the meetings of
shareholders or for the election of directors of the Company or for any other
matter, or any other rights whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company.

      SECTION 3.03.  Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

      Subject to the provisions of Sections 3.13 and 3.14 hereof, upon the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, and at any time and from time to time
thereafter, the Company may deliver Certificates executed by the Company to the
Purchase Contract Agent for authentication, execution on behalf of the Holders
and delivery, together with its Issuer Order for authentication of such
Certificates, and the Purchase Contract Agent in accordance with such Issuer
Order shall authenticate, execute on behalf of the Holders and deliver such
Certificates.

      The Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its
Chairman of the Board, its President or one of its Vice Presidents. The
signature of any of these officers on the Certificates may be manual or
facsimile.

      Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals
who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such
offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did
not hold such offices at the date of such Certificates.

      No Purchase Contract evidenced by a Certificate shall be valid until such
Certificate has been executed on behalf of the Holder by the manual signature
of an authorized signatory of the Purchase Contract Agent, as such Holder's
attorney-in-fact. Such signature by an authorized signatory of the Purchase
Contract Agent shall be conclusive evidence that the Holder of such Certificate
has entered into the Purchase Contracts evidenced by such Certificate.

      Each Certificate shall be dated the date of its authentication.

                                       20
<PAGE>

      No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement or
be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Certificate
a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein
executed by an authorized signatory of the Purchase Contract Agent by manual
signature, and such certificate upon any Certificate shall be conclusive
evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder.

      SECTION 3.04.  Temporary Certificates.

      Pending the preparation of definitive Certificates, the Company shall
execute and deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent, and the Purchase Contract
Agent shall authenticate, execute on behalf of the Holders, and deliver, in
lieu of such definitive Certificates, temporary Certificates which are in
substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A or Exhibit B hereto, as the case
may be, with such letters, numbers or other marks of identification or
designation and such legends or endorsements printed, lithographed or engraved
thereon as may be required by the rules of any securities exchange on which the
Stock Purchase Units or Treasury Stock Purchase Units, as the case may be, are
listed, or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers of the
Company executing such Certificates, as evidenced by their execution of the
Certificates.

      If temporary Certificates are issued, the Company will cause definitive
Certificates to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation
of definitive Certificates, the temporary Certificates shall be exchangeable
for definitive Certificates upon surrender of the temporary Certificates at the
Corporate Trust Office, at the expense of the Company and without charge to the
Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary
Certificates, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Purchase Contract
Agent, and the Purchase Contract Agent shall authenticate, execute on behalf of
the Holder, and deliver in exchange therefor, one or more definitive
Certificates of like tenor and denominations and evidencing a like number of
Securities as the temporary Certificate or Certificates so surrendered. Until
so exchanged, the temporary Certificates shall in all respects evidence the
same benefits and the same obligations with respect to the Securities,
evidenced thereby as definitive Certificates.

      SECTION 3.05.  Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

      The Purchase Contract Agent shall keep at the Corporate Trust Office a
register (the "Security Register") in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Purchase Contract Agent shall provide for
the registration of Certificates and of transfers of Certificates (the Purchase
Contract Agent, in such capacity, the "Security Registrar"). The Security
Registrar shall record separately the registration and transfer of the
Certificates evidencing Stock Purchase Units and Treasury Stock Purchase Units.

      Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at the
Corporate Trust Office, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Purchase
Contract Agent, and the Purchase Contract Agent shall authenticate, execute on
behalf of the designated transferee or transferees,

                                       21
<PAGE>

and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or
more new Certificates of any authorized denominations, like tenor, and
evidencing a like number of Stock Purchase Units or Treasury Stock Purchase
Units, as the case may be.

      At the option of the Holder, Certificates may be exchanged for other
Certificates, of any authorized denominations and evidencing a like number of
Stock Purchase Units or Treasury Stock Purchase Units, as the case may be, upon
surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the Corporate Trust Office.
Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall
execute and deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent, and the Purchase Contract
Agent shall authenticate, execute on behalf of the Holder, and deliver the
Certificates which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

      All Certificates issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of
a Certificate shall evidence the ownership of the same number of Stock Purchase
Units or Treasury Stock Purchase Units, as the case may be, and be entitled to
the same benefits and subject to the same obligations, under this Agreement as
the Stock Purchase Units or Treasury Stock Purchase Units, as the case may be,
evidenced by the Certificate surrendered upon such registration of transfer or
exchange.

      Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer
or exchange shall (if so required by the Purchase Contract Agent) be duly
endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent duly executed, by
the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing.

      No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of a Certificate, but the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent may
require payment from the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of
transfer or exchange of Certificates, other than any exchanges pursuant to
Sections 3.06 and 8.05 not involving any transfer.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to
execute and deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent, and the Purchase Contract
Agent shall not be obligated to authenticate, execute on behalf of the Holder
and deliver any Certificate in exchange for any other Certificate presented or
surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange on or after the
Business Day immediately preceding the earliest of any Early Settlement Date
for such Certificate, the Purchase Contract Settlement Date or the Termination
Date. In lieu of delivery of a new Certificate, upon satisfaction of the
applicable conditions specified above in this Section and receipt of
appropriate registration or transfer instructions from such Holder, the
Purchase Contract Agent shall:

            (i) if the Purchase Contract Settlement Date or an Early Settlement
      Date with respect to such other Certificate has occurred, deliver the
      shares of Common Stock issuable in respect of the Purchase Contracts
      forming a part of the Securities evidenced by

                                       22
<PAGE>

      such other Certificate; or

            (ii) if a Cash Settlement or an Early Settlement Date with respect
      to such other Certificate shall have occurred, or if a Termination Event
      shall have occurred prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date,
      transfer the Preferred Securities, the [Subordinated] Notes, the Treasury
      Securities, or the appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest of the
      Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be, evidenced thereby, in each case
      subject to the applicable conditions and in accordance with the
      applicable provisions of Section 3.15 and Article Five hereof.

      SECTION 3.06.  Book-Entry Interests.

      The Certificates, on original issuance, will be issued in the form of one
or more fully registered Global Certificates, to be delivered to the Depositary
or its custodian by, or on behalf of, the Company. The Company hereby
designates DTC as the initial Depositary. Such Global Certificates shall
initially be registered on the books and records of the Company in the name of
Cede & Co., the nominee of the Depositary, and no Beneficial Owner will receive
a definitive Certificate representing such Beneficial Owner's interest in such
Global Certificate, except as provided in Section 3.09. The Purchase Contract
Agent shall enter into an agreement with the Depositary if so requested by the
Company. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Certificates have been
issued to Beneficial Owners pursuant to Section 3.09:

            (i) the provisions of this Section 3.06 shall be in full force and
      effect;

            (ii) the Company shall be entitled to deal with the Depositary for
      all purposes of this Agreement (including making Purchase Contract
      Payments and receiving approvals, votes or consents hereunder) as the
      Holder of the Securities and the sole holder of the Global Certificates
      and shall have no obligation to the Beneficial Owners;

            (iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 3.06
      conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of
      this Section 3.06 shall control; and

            (iv) the rights of the Beneficial Owners shall be exercised only
      through the Depositary and shall be limited to those established by law
      and agreements between such Beneficial Owners and the Depositary or the
      Depositary Participants.

      SECTION 3.07.  Notices to Holders.

      Whenever a notice or other communication to the Holders is required to be
given under this Agreement, the Company or the Company's agent shall give such
notices and communications to the Holders and, with respect to any Securities
registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary, the
Company or the Company's agent shall, except as set forth herein, have no
obligations to the Beneficial Owners.

                                       23
<PAGE>

      SECTION 3.08.  Appointment of Successor Depositary.

      If the Depositary elects to discontinue its services as securities
depositary with respect to the Securities, the Company may, in its sole
discretion, appoint a successor Depositary with respect to the Securities.

      SECTION 3.09.  Definitive Certificates.

      If:

            (i) the Depositary elects to discontinue its services as securities
      depositary with respect to the Securities and a successor Depositary is
      not appointed within 90 days after such discontinuance pursuant to
      Section 3.08; or

            (ii) the Company elects, after consultation with the Purchase
      Contract Agent, to terminate the book-entry system for the Securities,

then (x) definitive Certificates shall be prepared by the Company with respect
to such Securities and delivered to the Purchase Contract Agent and (y) upon
surrender of the Global Certificates representing the Securities by the
Depositary, accompanied by registration instructions, the Company shall cause
definitive Certificates to be delivered to Beneficial Owners in accordance with
the instructions of the Depositary. The Company shall not be liable for any
delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on and shall
be protected in relying on, such instructions. Each definitive Certificate so
delivered shall evidence Securities of the same kind and tenor as the Global
Certificate so surrendered in respect thereof.

      SECTION 3.10.  Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Certificates.

      If any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Purchase Contract
Agent, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent,
and the Purchase Contract Agent shall authenticate, execute on behalf of the
Holder, and deliver in exchange therefor, a new Certificate, evidencing the
same number of Stock Purchase Units or Treasury Stock Purchase Units, as the
case may be, and bearing a Certificate number not contemporaneously
outstanding.

      If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Purchase Contract
Agent (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of
any Certificate, and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them
to hold each of them and any agent of any of them harmless, then, in the
absence of notice to the Company or the Purchase Contract Agent that such
Certificate has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Company shall
execute and deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent, and the Purchase Contract
Agent shall authenticate, execute on behalf of the Holder, and deliver to the
Holder, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new
Certificate, evidencing the same number of Stock Purchase Units or Treasury
Stock Purchase Units, as the case may be, and bearing a Certificate number not

                                       24
<PAGE>

contemporaneously outstanding.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to
execute and deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent, and the Purchase Contract
Agent shall not be obligated to authenticate, execute on behalf of the Holder,
and deliver to the Holder, a Certificate on or after the Business Day
immediately preceding the earliest of any Early Settlement Date for such lost
or mutilated Certificate, the Purchase Contract Settlement Date or the
Termination Date. In lieu of delivery of a new Certificate, upon satisfaction
of the applicable conditions specified above in this Section and receipt of
appropriate registration or transfer instructions from such Holder, the
Purchase Contract Agent shall:

            (i) if the Purchase Contract Settlement Date or an Early Settlement
      Date with respect to such lost or mutilated Certificate has occurred,
      deliver the shares of Common Stock issuable in respect of the Purchase
      Contracts forming a part of the Securities evidenced by such Certificate;
      or

            (ii) if a Cash Settlement or an Early Settlement Date with respect
      to such lost or mutilated Certificate shall have occurred or if a
      Termination Event shall have occurred prior to the Purchase Contract
      Settlement Date, transfer the Preferred Securities, the [Subordinated]
      Notes, the Treasury Securities or the appropriate Applicable Ownership
      Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) of
      the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be, evidenced thereby, in each
      case subject to the applicable conditions and in accordance with the
      applicable provisions of Section 3.15 and Article Five hereof.

      Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Company
and the Purchase Contract Agent may require the payment by the Holder of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the
Purchase Contract Agent) connected therewith.

      Every new Certificate issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any
destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate shall constitute an original additional
contractual obligation of the Company and of the Holder in respect of the
Security evidenced thereby, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen
Certificate (and the Securities evidenced thereby) shall be at any time
enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits and be subject
to all the obligations of this Agreement equally and proportionately with any
and all other Certificates delivered hereunder.

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

      SECTION 3.11.  Persons Deemed Owners.

                                       25
<PAGE>

      Prior to due presentment of a Certificate for registration of transfer,
the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent, and any agent of the Company or
the Purchase Contract Agent, may treat the Person in whose name such
Certificate is registered as the owner of the Security evidenced thereby, for
the purpose of receiving distributions on the Preferred Securities, the
Treasury Securities, the [Subordinated] Notes, or on the maturing quarterly
interest strips of the Treasury Portfolio, as applicable, receiving Purchase
Contract Payments, performance of the Purchase Contracts and for all other
purposes whatsoever, whether or not any distributions on the Preferred
Securities, the Treasury Securities, the [Subordinated] Notes, or Treasury
Portfolio, as applicable, or Purchase Contract Payments payable on the Purchase
Contracts, each constituting a part of the Security evidenced thereby shall be
overdue and notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, and neither the Company
nor the Purchase Contract Agent, nor any agent of the Company or the Purchase
Contract Agent, shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Global Certificate,
nothing contained herein shall prevent the Company, the Purchase Contract Agent
or any agent of the Company or the Purchase Contract Agent, from giving effect
to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the
Depositary (or its nominee), as a Holder, with respect to such Global
Certificate or impair, as between such Depositary and the related Beneficial
Owner, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of rights of
the Depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of such Global Certificate.

      SECTION 3.12.  Cancellation.

      All Certificates surrendered for delivery of shares of Common Stock on or
after the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, upon the transfer of Preferred
Securities, [Subordinated] Notes, the appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest
(as specified in clause (A) of the definition of that term) of the Treasury
Portfolio or Treasury Securities, as the case may be, after the occurrence of a
Termination Event or pursuant to an Early Settlement, or upon the registration
of transfer or exchange of a Security, or a Collateral Substitution or the
reestablishment of Stock Purchase Units shall, if surrendered to any Person
other than the Purchase Contract Agent, be delivered to the Purchase Contract
Agent and, if not already cancelled, shall be promptly cancelled by it. The
Company may at any time deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent for cancellation
any Certificates previously authenticated, executed and delivered hereunder
which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all
Certificates so delivered shall, upon Issuer Order, be promptly cancelled by
the Purchase Contract Agent. No Certificates shall be authenticated, executed
on behalf of the Holder and delivered in lieu of or in exchange for any
Certificates cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly
permitted by this Agreement. All cancelled Certificates held by the Purchase
Contract Agent shall be disposed of in accordance with its customary practices.

      If the Company or any Affiliate of the Company shall acquire any
Certificate, such acquisition shall not operate as a cancellation of such
Certificate unless and until such Certificate is delivered to the Purchase
Contract Agent cancelled or for cancellation.

      SECTION 3.13. Creation of Treasury Stock Purchase Units by Substitution
of Treasury Securities.

      Subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, a Holder may
separate the Preferred Securities or the [Subordinated] Notes, as applicable,
from the related Purchase Contracts in respect of such Holder's Stock Purchase
Units by substituting for such Preferred Securities or [Subordinated] Notes, as
applicable, Treasury Securities in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
aggregate liquidation amount of such Preferred Securities or the aggregate
principal amount of such [Subordinated] Notes, as applicable (a "Collateral
Substitution"), at any time from and after the date of this Agreement and prior
to or on the seventh Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract
Settlement Date. To effect such substitution, the Holder must:

            (1)   deposit with the Securities Intermediary Treasury Securities
                  having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate
                  liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities or the
                  aggregate principal amount of the [Subordinated] Notes
                  comprising part of such Stock Purchase Units, as the case may
                  be; and

            (2)   transfer the related Stock Purchase Units to the Purchase
                  Contract Agent accompanied by a notice to the Purchase
                  Contract Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit C
                  hereto, (i) stating that the Holder has transferred the
                  relevant amount of Treasury Securities to the Securities
                  Intermediary and (ii) requesting that the Purchase Contract
                  Agent instruct the Collateral Agent to release the Preferred
                  Securities or the [Subordinated] Notes, as the case may be,
                  underlying such Stock Purchase Units, whereupon the Purchase
                  Contract Agent shall promptly provide an instruction to such
                  effect to the Collateral Agent, substantially in the form of
                  Exhibit A to the Pledge Agreement.

      Upon receipt of the Treasury Securities described in clause (1) above and
the instruction described in clause (2) above, in accordance with the terms of
the Pledge Agreement, the Collateral Agent will cause the Securities
Intermediary to effect the release of such Preferred Securities or the
[Subordinated] Notes, as the case may be, from the Pledge, free and clear of
the Company's security interest therein, and the transfer of such Preferred
Securities or the [Subordinated] Notes, as the case may be, to the Purchase
Contract Agent on behalf of the Holder. Upon receipt thereof, the Purchase
Contract Agent shall promptly:

            (i) cancel the related Stock Purchase Units;

            (ii) transfer the Preferred Securities or the [Subordinated] Notes,
      as the case may be, to the Holder; and

            (iii) authenticate, execute on behalf of such Holder and deliver a
      Treasury Stock Purchase Units Certificate executed by the Company in
      accordance with Section 3.03

                                       27
<PAGE>

      evidencing the same number of Purchase Contracts as were evidenced by the
      cancelled Stock Purchase Units.

      Holders who elect to separate the Preferred Securities or the
[Subordinated] Notes, as the case may be, from the related Purchase Contracts
and to substitute Treasury Securities for such Preferred Securities or the
[Subordinated] Notes, as the case may be, shall be responsible for any fees or
expenses payable to the Collateral Agent for its services as Collateral Agent
in respect of the substitution, and the Company shall not be responsible for
any such fees or expenses.

      Holders may make Collateral Substitutions only in integral multiples of
40 Stock Purchase Units. If a Tax Event Redemption has occurred, Holders may no
longer convert their Stock Purchase Units into Treasury Stock Purchase Units.

      In the event a Holder making a Collateral Substitution pursuant to this
Section 3.13 fails to effect a book-entry transfer of the Stock Purchase Units
or fails to deliver Stock Purchase Units Certificates to the Purchase Contract
Agent after depositing Treasury Securities with the Collateral Agent, any
distributions on the Preferred Securities or the [Subordinated] Notes
constituting a part of such Stock Purchase Units, as the case may be, shall be
held in the name of the Purchase Contract Agent or its nominee in trust for the
benefit of such Holder, until such Stock Purchase Units are so transferred or
the Stock Purchase Units Certificate is so delivered, as the case may be, or,
such Holder provides evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Purchase
Contract Agent that such Stock Purchase Units Certificate has been destroyed,
lost or stolen, together with any indemnity that may be required by the
Purchase Contract Agent and the Company.

      Except as described in this Section 3.13 or in connection with a Cash
Settlement, for so long as the Purchase Contract underlying a Stock Purchase
Unit remains in effect, such Stock Purchase Unit shall not be separable into
its constituent parts, and the rights and obligations of the Holder in respect
of the Preferred Securities or the [Subordinated] Notes, as the case may be,
and the Purchase Contract comprising such Stock Purchase Unit may be acquired,
and may be transferred and exchanged, only as a Stock Purchase Unit.

      SECTION 3.14.  Reestablishment of Stock Purchase Units.

      Subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, a Holder of
Treasury Stock Purchase Units may reestablish Stock Purchase Units at any time
(i) prior to or on the seventh Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase
Contract Settlement Date, by:

            (1)   depositing with the Securities Intermediary Preferred
                  Securities or [Subordinated] Notes, as the case may be,
                  having an aggregate liquidation amount (in the case of
                  Preferred Securities) or aggregate principal amount (in the
                  case of [Subordinated] Notes), as the case may be, equal to
                  the aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Treasury
                  Securities comprising

                                       28
<PAGE>

                  part of the Treasury Stock Purchase Units; and

            (2)   transferring the related Treasury Stock Purchase Units to the
                  Purchase Contract Agent accompanied by a notice to the
                  Purchase Contract Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit
                  C hereto, (i) stating that the Holder has transferred the
                  relevant amount of Preferred Securities or [Subordinated]
                  Notes, as the case may be, to the Securities Intermediary and
                  (ii) requesting that the Purchase Contract Agent instruct the
                  Collateral Agent to release the Treasury Securities
                  underlying such Treasury Stock Purchase Units, whereupon the
                  Purchase Contract Agent shall promptly provide an instruction
                  to such effect to the Collateral Agent, substantially in the
                  form of Exhibit C to the Pledge Agreement.

Upon receipt of the Preferred Securities or the [Subordinated] Notes, as the
case may be, described in clause (1) above and the instruction described in
clause (2) above, in accordance with the terms of the Pledge Agreement, the
Collateral Agent will cause the Securities Intermediary to effect the release
of the Treasury Securities having a corresponding aggregate principal amount at
maturity from the Pledge, free and clear of the Company's security interest
therein, and the transfer to the Purchase Contract Agent on behalf of the
Holder. Upon receipt thereof, the Purchase Contract Agent shall promptly:

            (i) cancel the related Treasury Stock Purchase Units;

            (ii) transfer the Treasury Securities to the Holder; and

            (iii) authenticate, execute on behalf of such Holder and deliver a
      Stock Purchase Units Certificate executed by the Company in accordance
      with Section 3.03 evidencing the same number of Purchase Contracts as
      were evidenced by the cancelled Treasury Stock Purchase Units.

      Holders who elect to reestablish Stock Purchase Units shall be
responsible for any fees or expenses payable to the Collateral Agent for its
services as Collateral Agent in respect of the reestablishment, and the Company
shall not be responsible for any such fees or expenses.

      Holders of Treasury Stock Purchase Units may only reestablish Stock
Purchase Units in integral multiples of 40 Treasury Stock Purchase Units. If a
Tax Event Redemption has occurred, Holders may no longer convert their Treasury
Stock Purchase Units into Stock Purchase Units.

      Except as provided in this Section 3.14 or in connection with a Cash
Settlement, for so long as the Purchase Contract underlying a Treasury Stock
Purchase Unit remains in effect, such Treasury Stock Purchase Unit shall not be
separable into its constituent parts and the rights and obligations of the
Holder of such Treasury Stock Purchase Unit in respect of the 1/40 of a

                                       29
<PAGE>

Treasury Security and the Purchase Contract comprising such Treasury Stock
Purchase Unit may be acquired, and may be transferred and exchanged, only as a
Treasury Stock Purchase Unit.

      SECTION 3.15. Transfer of Collateral upon Occurrence of Termination
Event.

      Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event and the transfer to the
Purchase Contract Agent of the Preferred Securities, [Subordinated] Notes, the
appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest of the Treasury Portfolio or the
Treasury Securities, as the case may be, underlying the Stock Purchase Units
and the Treasury Stock Purchase Units, as the case may be, pursuant to the
terms of the Pledge Agreement, the Purchase Contract Agent shall request
transfer instructions with respect to such Preferred Securities, [Subordinated]
Notes, the appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest of the Treasury Portfolio
or Treasury Securities, as the case may be, from each Holder by written
request, substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto, mailed to such Holder
at its address as it appears in the Security Register.

      Upon book-entry transfer of the Stock Purchase Units or the Treasury
Stock Purchase Units or delivery of a Stock Purchase Units Certificate or
Treasury Stock Purchase Units Certificate to the Purchase Contract Agent with
such transfer instructions, the Purchase Contract Agent shall transfer the
Preferred Securities, [Subordinated] Notes, the appropriate Applicable
Ownership Interest of the Treasury Portfolio or Treasury Securities, as the
case may be, underlying such Stock Purchase Units or Treasury Stock Purchase
Units, as the case may be, to such Holder by book-entry transfer, or other
appropriate procedures, in accordance with such instructions. In the event a
Holder of Stock Purchase Units or Treasury Stock Purchase Units fails to effect
such transfer or delivery, the Preferred Securities, [Subordinated] Notes, the
appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest of the Treasury Portfolio or Treasury
Securities, as the case may be, underlying such Stock Purchase Units or
Treasury Stock Purchase Units, as the case may be, and any distributions
thereon, shall be held in the name of the Purchase Contract Agent or its
nominee in trust for the benefit of such Holder, until the earlier to occur of:

            (i) the transfer of such Stock Purchase Units or Treasury Stock
      Purchase Units or surrender of the Stock Purchase Units Certificate or
      Treasury Stock Purchase Units Certificate or receipt by the Company and
      the Purchase Contract Agent from such Holder of satisfactory evidence
      that such Stock Purchase Units Certificate or Treasury Stock Purchase
      Units Certificate has been destroyed, lost or stolen, together with any
      indemnity that may be required by the Purchase Contract Agent and the
      Company; and

            (ii) the expiration of the time period specified in the abandoned
      property laws of the relevant State.

      SECTION 3.16. No Consent to Assumption.

      Each Holder of a Security, by acceptance thereof, shall be deemed
expressly to have withheld any consent to the assumption under Section 365 of
the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise,

                                       30
<PAGE>

of the Purchase Contract by the Company or its trustee, receiver, liquidator or
a person or entity performing similar functions in the event that the Company
becomes the debtor under the Bankruptcy Code or subject to other similar state
or Federal law providing for reorganization or liquidation.

                                   ARTICLE 4
THE PREFERRED SECURITIES, [SUBORDINATED] NOTES AND APPLICABLE OWNERSHIP INTEREST
                           OF THE TREASURY PORTFOLIO

      SECTION 4.01.  Interest Payments; Rights to Interest Payments Preserved.

      Any distribution on any Preferred Security, any [Subordinated] Note or on
the appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest of the Treasury Portfolio, as the
case may be, which is paid on any Payment Date shall, subject to receipt
thereof by the Purchase Contract Agent from the Collateral Agent as provided by
the terms of the Pledge Agreement, be paid to the Person in whose name the
Stock Purchase Units Certificate (or one or more Predecessor Stock Purchase
Units Certificates) of which such Preferred Security, such [Subordinated] Note
or the appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest of the Treasury Portfolio, as
the case may be, is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for
such Payment Date. Any such distribution shall be subject to deferral at the
option of the Company in accordance with the Indenture and the Declaration.

      Each Stock Purchase Units Certificate evidencing Preferred Securities,
[Subordinated] Notes or the appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest of the
Treasury Portfolio delivered under this Agreement upon registration of transfer
of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Stock Purchase Units Certificate
shall carry the right to distributions accrued and unpaid, and to accrue
distributions interest, which were carried by the Preferred Securities,
[Subordinated] Notes or the appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest of the
Treasury Portfolio underlying such other Stock Purchase Units Certificate.

      In the case of any Stock Purchase Units with respect to which Cash
Settlement of the underlying Purchase Contract is properly effected pursuant to
Section 5.02 hereof, or with respect to which Early Settlement of the
underlying Purchase Contract is properly effected pursuant tot Section 5.07
hereof, or with respect to which a Collateral Substitution is effected, in each
case on a date that is after any Record Date and prior to or on the next
succeeding Payment Date, distributions on the Preferred Securities,
[Subordinated] Notes or on the appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest of the
Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be, underlying such Stock Purchase Unit
otherwise payable on such Payment Date shall be payable on such Payment Date
notwithstanding such Cash Settlement or Early Settlement or Collateral
Substitution, and such distributions shall, subject to receipt thereof by the
Purchase Contract Agent, be payable to the Person in whose name the Stock
Purchase Units Certificate (or one or more Predecessor Stock

                                       31
<PAGE>

Purchase Units Certificates) was registered at the close of business on the
Record Date. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the immediately
preceding sentence, in the case of any Stock Purchase Unit with respect to
which Cash Settlement or Early Settlement of the underlying Purchase Contract
is properly effected, or with respect to which a Collateral Substitution has
been effected, distributions on the related Preferred Securities,
[Subordinated] Notes or the appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest of the
Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be, that would otherwise be payable after
the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, Early Settlement Date or the date of the
Collateral Substitution, as the case may be, shall not be payable hereunder to
the Holder of such Stock Purchase Units; provided, however, that to the extent
that such Holder continues to hold separated Preferred Securities or
[Subordinated] Notes that formerly comprised a part of such Holder's Stock
Purchase Unit, such Holder shall be entitled to receive distributions on such
separated Preferred Securities or [Subordinated] Notes.

      Not later than 15 calendar days nor more than 30 calendar days prior to
the Remarketing Date, the Company shall request the Depositary to notify the
Beneficial Owners or Depositary Participants holding Securities of the
procedures to be followed by Holders of Securities who intend to effect a Cash
Settlement.

      SECTION 4.02.  Notice and Voting.

      Under the terms of the Pledge Agreement, the Purchase Contract Agent will
be entitled to exercise the voting and any other consensual rights pertaining
to the Pledged Preferred Securities or Pledged [Subordinated] Notes, but only
to the extent instructed in writing by the Holders as described below. Upon
receipt of notice of any meeting at which holders of Preferred Securities or
[Subordinated] Notes are entitled to vote or upon any solicitation of consents,
waivers or proxies of holders of Preferred Securities or [Subordinated] Notes,
the Purchase Contract Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, mail,
first class, postage pre-paid, to the Holders of Stock Purchase Units a notice:

            (i) containing such information as is contained in the notice or
      solicitation;

            (ii) stating that each Holder on the record date set by the
      Purchase Contract Agent therefor (which, to the extent possible, shall be
      the same date as the record date for determining the holders of Preferred
      Securities or [Subordinated] Notes, as the case may be, entitled to vote)
      shall be entitled to instruct the Purchase Contract Agent as to the
      exercise of the voting rights pertaining to such Preferred Securities or
      [Subordinated] Notes underlying their Stock Purchase Units; and

            (iii) stating the manner in which such instructions may be given.

Upon the written request of the Holders of Stock Purchase Units on such record
date received by the Purchase Contract Agent at least six days prior to such
meeting, the Purchase Contract Agent shall endeavor insofar as practicable to
vote or cause to be voted, in accordance with the

                                       32
<PAGE>

instructions set forth in such requests, the maximum number of Preferred
Securities or [Subordinated] Notes, as the case may be, as to which any
particular voting instructions are received. In the absence of specific
instructions from the Holder of a Stock Purchase Unit, the Purchase Contract
Agent shall abstain from voting the Preferred Securities or [Subordinated]
Notes underlying such Stock Purchase Unit. The Company hereby agrees, if
applicable, to solicit Holders of Stock Purchase Units to timely instruct the
Purchase Contract Agent in order to enable the Purchase Contract Agent to vote
such Preferred Securities or [Subordinated] Notes and the Trust shall covenant
to this effect in the Declaration.

      SECTION 4.03. Distribution of [Subordinated] Notes; Tax Event Redemption.

      Upon the dissolution and liquidation of the Trust in accordance with the
Declaration, an aggregate principal amount at maturity of [Subordinated] Notes
constituting the assets of the Trust and underlying the Preferred Securities
equal to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Pledged Preferred Securities
shall be delivered to the Securities Intermediary in exchange for the Pledged
Preferred Securities. Thereafter, the [Subordinated] Notes will be substituted
for the Pledged Preferred Securities as the Collateral, and will be held by the
Securities Intermediary in the Collateral Account in accordance with the terms
of the Pledge Agreement to secure the obligations of each Holder of a Stock
Purchase Unit to purchase the Common Stock of the Company under the Purchase
Contracts constituting a part of such Stock Purchase Unit.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a dissolution and
liquidation of the Trust, if a Liquidation Distribution is to be distributed in
lieu of the [Subordinated] Notes as provided for in the Declaration, an amount
equal to the Liquidation Distribution shall be deposited in the Collateral
Account in exchange for the Pledged Preferred Securities. Thereafter, pursuant
to the terms of the Pledge Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall cause the
Securities Intermediary to apply an amount equal to the Redemption Amount of
such Liquidation Distribution to purchase on behalf of the Holders of Stock
Purchase Units the Treasury Portfolio and promptly remit the remaining portion
of such Liquidation Distribution to the Purchase Contract Agent for payment to
the Holders of such Stock Purchase Units. The Applicable Ownership Interest (as
specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) of the Treasury
Portfolio will be substituted as Collateral for the Pledged Preferred
Securities and will be held by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the
terms of the Pledge Agreement to secure the obligation of each Holder of a
Stock Purchase Unit to purchase the Common Stock of the Company under the
Purchase Contract constituting a part of such Stock Purchase Unit.

      Following the dissolution and liquidation of the Trust, the Holders and
the Collateral Agent shall have such security interests, rights and obligations
with respect to the [Subordinated] Notes or the Applicable Ownership Interest
(as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) of the Treasury
Portfolio, as the case may be, as the Holders and the Collateral Agent had in
respect of the Preferred Securities subject to the Pledge thereof as provided
in the Pledge Agreement. The Company may cause to be made in any Stock Purchase
Unit Certificates thereafter to be issued such change in phraseology and form
(but not in substance) as may be

                                       33
<PAGE>

appropriate to reflect the dissolution and liquidation of the Trust and the
substitution of [Subordinated] Notes or the Applicable Ownership Interest (as
specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) of the Treasury
Portfolio, as the case may be, for Preferred Securities as Collateral.

      Upon the occurrence of a Tax Event Redemption prior to the Purchase
Contract Settlement Date, an amount equal to the Redemption Amount, plus any
accumulated and unpaid distributions or accrued and unpaid interest, as the
case may be, payable on the Tax Event Redemption Date with respect to the
Applicable Principal Amount shall be deposited in the Collateral Account in
exchange for the Pledged Preferred Securities or the Pledged [Subordinated]
Notes, as the case may be. Thereafter, pursuant to the terms of the Pledge
Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall cause the Securities Intermediary to
apply an amount equal to the Redemption Amount of such funds to purchase on
behalf of the Holders of Stock Purchase Units the Treasury Portfolio and
promptly remit the remaining portion of such funds to the Purchase Contract
Agent for payment to the Holders of such Stock Purchase Units. The Applicable
Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term)
of the Treasury Portfolio will be substituted as Collateral for the Pledged
Preferred Securities or the Pledged [Subordinated] Notes, as the case may be,
and will be held by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of the
Pledge Agreement to secure the obligation of each Holder of a Stock Purchase
Unit to purchase the Common Stock of the Company under the Purchase Contract
constituting a part of such Stock Purchase Unit. Following the occurrence of a
Tax Event Redemption prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the
Holders of Stock Purchase Units and the Collateral Agent shall have such
security interest rights and obligations with respect to the Applicable
Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term)
of the Treasury Portfolio as the Holders of Stock Purchase Units and the
Collateral Agent had in respect of the Preferred Securities or [Subordinated]
Notes, as the case may be, subject to the Pledge thereof as provided in the
Pledge Agreement, and any reference herein to the Preferred Securities or the
[Subordinated] Notes shall be deemed to be reference to such Treasury
Portfolio. The Company may cause to be made in any Stock Purchase Unit
Certificates thereafter to be issued such change in phraseology and form (but
not in substance) as may be appropriate to reflect the liquidation of the Trust
and the substitution of the Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in

      SECTION 5.02.  Payment of Purchase Price.

      (a) (i) Unless a Tax Event Redemption has occurred or a Holder of a Stock
Purchase Unit effects an Early Settlement of the underlying Purchase Contract
in the manner described in Section 5.07, each Holder who intends to pay in cash
to satisfy such Holder's obligations under the Purchase Contract on the
Purchase Contract Settlement Date shall notify the Purchase Contract Agent by
use of a notice in substantially the form of Exhibit E hereto of his intention
to pay in cash ("Cash Settlement") the Purchase Price for the shares of Common
Stock to be purchased pursuant to the related Purchase Contract. Such notice
shall be given prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the seventh Business
Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date. Prior to 11:00
a.m. (New York City time) on the next succeeding Business Day, the Purchase
Contract Agent shall notify the Collateral Agent and the Property Trustee or
the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, of the receipt of such notices from
Holders intending to make a Cash Settlement.

            (ii) A Holder of a Stock Purchase Unit who has so notified the
      Purchase Contract Agent of his intention to effect a Cash Settlement in
      accordance with paragraph 5.02(a)(i) above shall pay the Purchase Price
      to the Securities Intermediary for deposit in the Collateral Account
      prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the fifth Business Day
      immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, in lawful
      money of the United States by certified or cashiers' check or wire
      transfer, in each case in immediately available funds payable to or upon
      the order of the Securities Intermediary. Any cash received by the
      Collateral Agent shall be invested promptly by the Securities
      Intermediary in Permitted Investments and paid to the Company on the
      Purchase Contract Settlement Date in settlement of the Purchase Contracts
      in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Pledge Agreement.
      Any funds received by the Securities Intermediary in respect of the
      investment earnings from such Permitted Investments in excess of the
      Purchase Price for the shares of Common Stock to be purchased by such
      Holder shall be distributed to the Purchase Contract Agent when received
      for payment to the Holder.

                                       37
<PAGE>

            (iii) If a Holder of a Stock Purchase Unit fails to notify the
      Purchase Contract Agent of his intention to make a Cash Settlement in
      accordance with paragraph 5.02(a)(i) above, or does notify the Purchase
      Contract Agent as provided in paragraph 5.02(a)(i) above of his intention
      to pay the Purchase Price in cash, but fails to make such payment as
      required by paragraph 5.02(a)(ii) above, such Holder shall be deemed to
      have consented to the disposition of the Pledged Preferred Securities or
      the Pledged [Subordinated] Notes pursuant to the Remarketing as described
      in paragraph 5.02(b) below.

            (iv) Promptly after 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the fifth
      Business Day preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the
      Purchase Contract Agent, based on notices received by the Purchase
      Contract Agent pursuant to Section 5.02(a) hereof and notice from the
      Securities Intermediary regarding cash received by it prior to such time,
      shall notify the Collateral Agent and the Property Trustee or the
      Indenture Trustee, as applicable of the aggregate number of Preferred
      Securities or [Subordinated] Notes to be tendered for purchase in the
      Remarketing in a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto.

      (b) In order to dispose of the Preferred Securities or [Subordinated]
Notes, Stock Purchase Units Holders who have not notified the Purchase Contract
Agent of their intention to effect a Cash Settlement as provided in paragraph
5.02(a)(i) above, or who have so notified the Purchase Contract Agent but
failed to make such payment as required by paragraph 5.02(a)(ii) above, the
Company shall engage _____________________, as Remarketing Agent (the
"Remarketing Agent"), pursuant to the Remarketing Agreement (and subject to
removal as provided in the Remarketing Agreement) to sell such Preferred
Securities or [Subordinated] Notes. In order to facilitate the Remarketing, the
Purchase Contract Agent, based on the notices specified in Section 5.02(a)(iv),
shall notify the Remarketing Agent, promptly after 11:00 a.m. (New York City
time) on the fifth Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract
Settlement Date, of the aggregate number of Preferred Securities or
[Subordinated] Notes that are part of Stock Purchase Units to be remarketed.
Concurrently, the Collateral Agent, pursuant to the terms of the Pledge
Agreement, shall cause such Preferred Securities or [Subordinated] Notes to be
presented to the Remarketing Agent for Remarketing.

      Upon receipt of such notice from the Purchase Contract Agent and such
Preferred Securities or [Subordinated] Notes, the Remarketing Agent shall, on
the third Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement
Date, use reasonable efforts to remarket such Preferred Securities or
[Subordinated] Notes on such date at a price equal to [100.25]% of the Stated
Amount ($[25.0625]) per Preferred Security or [Subordinated] Note, as provided
in the Remarketing Agreement. The proceeds from the Remarketing shall be
invested by the Collateral Agent in Permitted Investments, in accordance with
the Pledge Agreement, and then applied to satisfy in full such Stock Purchase
Units Holders' obligations to pay the Purchase Price for the shares of Common
Stock under the related Purchase Contracts on the Purchase Contract Settlement
Date. In addition, [$.0625] per Preferred Security or [Subordinated] Note of

                                       38
<PAGE>

the proceeds shall automatically be remitted to the Remarketing Agent for
services rendered in connection with the Remarketing (the "Remarketing Fee").

      If, in spite of using its reasonable efforts, the Remarketing Agent
cannot remarket the related Preferred Securities or [Subordinated] Notes of
such Holders of Stock Purchase Units at a price equal to [100.25]% of the
Stated Amount ($[25.0625]), then the Remarketing Agent shall increase the
distribution rate on the Preferred Securities or the interest rate on the
[Subordinated] Notes, as the case may be, so that the market value of such
Preferred Securities will equal ($[25.0625]). If the Remarketing Agent
determines that it will be able to remarket the related Preferred Securities or
[Subordinated] Notes of such Holders of Stock Purchase Units at a price in
excess of [100.25]% of the Stated Amount ($[25.0625]), then the Remarketing
Agent shall decrease the distribution rate on the Preferred Securities or the
interest rate on the [Subordinated] Notes, as the case may be, so that the
market value of such Preferred Securities or [Subordinated] Notes will be equal
to [$25.0625]. If the Remarketing Agent cannot Remarket the Preferred
Securities or the [Subordinated] Notes, as the case may be, after such increase
or decrease, the Remarketing shall be deemed to have failed (a "Failed
Remarketing"), an event of default shall be deemed to have occurred under this
Agreement and the Pledge Agreement and in accordance with the terms of the
Pledge Agreement, the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Company, shall
exercise its rights as a secured party with respect to such Preferred
Securities or [Subordinated] Notes, including those actions specified in
paragraph 5.02(c) below; provided, that if upon a Failed Remarketing the
Collateral Agent exercises such rights for the benefit of the Company with
respect to such Preferred Securities or [Subordinated] Notes, any accrued and
unpaid distributions on such Preferred Securities or [Subordinated] Notes and
any accrued and unpaid Purchase Contract Payments (including any deferred
Purchase Contract Payments) shall become payable by the Company to the Purchase
Contract Agent for payment to the Beneficial Owner of the Stock Purchase Units
to which such Preferred Securities or [Subordinated] Notes relate. The Company
shall cause a notice of such Failed Remarketing to be published on the second
Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date in a
daily newspaper in the English language of general circulation in the City of
New York, which is expected to be The Wall Street Journal, and on Bloomberg
News.

      (c) With respect to any Preferred Securities or [Subordinated] Notes
which are subject to a Failed Remarketing, the Collateral Agent for the benefit
of the Company reserves all of its rights as a secured party with respect
thereto and, subject to applicable law and paragraph 5.02(g) below, shall, in
full satisfaction of the Holders' obligations under the Purchase Contracts
among other things, (i) retain the Preferred Securities or [Subordinated]
Notes, (ii) sell the Preferred Securities or [Subordinated] Notes in one or
more public or private sales or (iii) take, or choose not to take, any other
action with respect to the Preferred Securities or the [Subordinated] Notes,
which in every case specified in (i), (ii) and (iii) shall constitute payment
in full for the aggregate Purchase Price for the shares of Common Stock to be
purchased under the Purchase Contracts.

      (d) (i) Unless a Holder of a Treasury Stock Purchase Unit or Stock
Purchase Unit (if a Tax Event Redemption has occurred) effects an Early
Settlement of the underlying Purchase

                                       39
<PAGE>

Contract through the early delivery of cash to the Purchase Contract Agent in
the manner described in Section 5.07, each Holder of a Treasury Stock Purchase
Unit or Stock Purchase Unit (if a Tax Event Redemption has occurred) who
intends to pay in cash shall notify the Purchase Contract Agent by use of a
notice in substantially the form of Exhibit E hereto of his intention to pay in
cash the Purchase Price for the shares of Common Stock to be purchased pursuant
to the related Purchase Contract. Such notice shall be given prior to 5:00 p.m.
(New York City time) on the second Business Day immediately preceding the
Purchase Contract Settlement Date. Prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on
the next succeeding Business Day, the Purchase Contract Agent shall notify the
Collateral Agent of the receipt of such notices from such Holders intending to
make a Cash Settlement. Treasury Stock Purchase Unit holders may make Cash
Settlements only in integral multiples of 40 Treasury Stock Purchase Units.

            (ii) A Holder of a Treasury Stock Purchase Unit or Stock Purchase
      Units (if a Tax Event Redemption has occurred) who has so notified the
      Purchase Contract Agent of his intention to make a Cash Settlement in
      accordance with paragraph 5.02(d)(i) above shall pay the Purchase Price
      to the Securities Intermediary for deposit in the Collateral Account
      prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately
      preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, in lawful money of the
      United States by certified or cashiers' check or wire transfer, in each
      case in immediately available funds payable to or upon the order of the
      Securities Intermediary. Any cash received by the Collateral Agent shall
      be invested promptly by the Securities Intermediary in Permitted
      Investments and paid to the Company on the Purchase Contract Settlement
      Date in settlement of the Purchase Contract in accordance with the terms
      of this Agreement and the Pledge Agreement. Any funds received by the
      Securities Intermediary in respect of the investment earnings from the
      investment in such Permitted Investments in excess of the Purchase Price
      for the shares of Common Stock to be purchased by such Holder shall be
      distributed to the Purchase Contract Agent when received for payment to
      the Holder.

            (iii) If a Holder of a Treasury Stock Purchase Unit or Holder of a
      Stock Purchase Unit (if a Tax Event Redemption has occurred) fails to
      notify the Purchase Contract Agent of his intention to make a Cash
      Settlement in accordance with paragraph 5.02(d)(i) above, or does notify
      the Purchase Contract Agent as provided in paragraph 5.02(d)(i) above of
      his intention to pay the Purchase Price in cash, but fails to make such
      payment as required by paragraph 5.02(d)(ii) above, then upon the
      maturity of the Pledged Treasury Securities or the appropriate Applicable
      Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such
      term) of the Treasury Portfolio held by the Securities Intermediary on
      the Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement
      Date, the principal amount of the Treasury Securities or the appropriate
      Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the
      definition of such term) of the Treasury Portfolio received by the
      Securities Intermediary shall be invested promptly in Permitted
      Investments. On the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, an amount equal to
      the Purchase Price shall be remitted to the Company as payment thereof
      without receiving any instructions from the Holder. In the event the sum
      of the proceeds

                                       40
<PAGE>

      from the related Pledged Treasury Securities or the appropriate
      Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the
      definition of such term) of the Treasury Portfolio and the investment
      earnings earned from such investments is in excess of the aggregate
      Purchase Price of the Purchase Contracts being settled thereby, the
      Collateral Agent shall cause the Securities Intermediary to distribute
      such excess to the Purchase Contract Agent for the benefit of the Holder
      of the related Treasury Stock Purchase Unit or Stock Purchase Unit when
      received.

            (iv) A holder of a Preferred Security or [Subordinated] Note that
      is no longer part of a Stock Purchase Unit may elect to have such
      Preferred Security or [Subordinated] Note, as the case may be,
      remarketed. A holder making such an election must notify the Property
      Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, prior to 11:00 a.m.
      (New York City time) on the fifth Business Day immediately preceding the
      Purchase Contract Settlement Date, of the aggregate number of Preferred
      Securities or [Subordinated] Notes, as the case may be, that are not part
      of Stock Purchase Units to be remarketed. Any such notice will be
      irrevocable and may not be conditioned upon the level at which the Reset
      Rate is established in the Remarketing. Concurrently, the Property
      Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, shall cause such
      Preferred Securities or [Subordinated] Notes, as the case may be, to be
      presented to the Remarketing Agent for Remarketing.

      (e) Any distribution to Holders of any payments described above shall be
payable at the office of the Purchase Contract Agent in New York City
maintained for that purpose or, at the option of the Holder, by check mailed to
the address of the Person entitled thereto at such address as it appears on the
Security Register.

      (f) Upon Cash Settlement of any Purchase Contract:

            (i) the Collateral Agent will in accordance with the terms of the
      Pledge Agreement cause the Pledged Preferred Securities, Pledged
      [Subordinated] Notes, the appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest (as
      specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) of the Treasury
      Portfolio or the Pledged Treasury Securities, as the case may be,
      underlying the relevant Security to be released from the Pledge, free and
      clear of any security interest of the Company, and transferred to the
      Purchase Contract Agent for delivery to the Holder thereof or its
      designee as soon as practicable; and

            (ii) subject to the receipt thereof, the Purchase Contract Agent
      shall, by book-entry transfer or other appropriate procedures, in
      accordance with written instructions provided by the Holder thereof,
      transfer such Preferred Securities, [Subordinated] Notes, or the
      appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of
      the definition of such term) of the Treasury Portfolio or such Treasury
      Securities, as the case may be (or, if no such instructions are given to
      the Purchase Contract Agent by the Holder, the Purchase Contract Agent
      shall hold such Preferred

                                       41
<PAGE>

      Securities, [Subordinated] Notes, or the appropriate Applicable Ownership
      Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) of
      the Treasury Portfolio or such Treasury Securities, as the case may be,
      and any interest payment thereon, in the name of the Purchase Contract
      Agent or its nominee in trust for the benefit of such Holder until the
      expiration of the time period specified in the abandoned property laws of
      the relevant state).

      (g) The obligations of the Holders to pay the Purchase Price are
non-recourse obligations and, except to the extent satisfied by Early
Settlement or Cash Settlement, are payable solely out of the proceeds of any
Collateral pledged to secure the obligations of the Holders and in no event
will Holders be liable for any deficiency between the proceeds of the
disposition of Collateral and the Purchase Price.

      (h) The Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Common
Stock in respect of a Purchase Contract or deliver any certificates thereof to
the Holder of the related Security unless the Company shall have received
payment in full for the aggregate Purchase Price for the Common Stock to be
purchased thereunder in the manner herein set forth.

      SECTION 5.03. Issuance of Shares of Common Stock.

      Unless a Termination Event or an Early Settlement shall have occurred,
subject to Section 5.04(b), on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date upon
receipt of the aggregate Purchase Price payable on all Outstanding Securities,
the Company shall issue and deposit with the Purchase Contract Agent, for the
benefit of the Holders of the Outstanding Securities, one or more certificates
representing newly issued shares of Common Stock registered in the name of the
Purchase Contract Agent (or its nominee) as custodian for the Holders (such
certificates for shares of Common Stock, together with any dividends or
distributions for which a record date and payment date for such dividend or
distribution has occurred after the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, being
hereinafter referred to as the "Purchase Contract Settlement Fund") to which
the Holders are entitled hereunder.

      Subject to the foregoing, upon surrender of a Certificate to the Purchase
Contract Agent on or after the Purchase Contract Settlement Date or Early
Settlement Date, as the case may be, together with settlement instructions
thereon duly completed and executed, the Holder of such Certificate shall be
entitled to receive forthwith in exchange therefor a certificate representing
that number of newly issued whole shares of Common Stock which such Holder is
entitled to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article Five (after
taking into account all Securities then held by such Holder), together with
cash in lieu of fractional shares as provided in Section 5.09 and any dividends
or distributions with respect to such shares constituting part of the Purchase
Contract Settlement Fund, but without any interest thereon, and the Certificate
so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Such shares shall be registered in
the name of the Holder or the Holder's designee as specified in the settlement
instructions provided by the Holder to the Purchase Contract Agent. If any
shares of Common Stock issued in respect of a

                                       42
<PAGE>

Purchase Contract are to be registered to a Person other than the Person in
whose name the Certificate evidencing such Purchase Contract is registered, no
such registration shall be made unless the Person requesting such registration
has paid any transfer and other taxes required by reason of such registration
in a name other than that of the registered Holder of the Certificate
evidencing such Purchase Contract or has established to the satisfaction of the
Company that such tax either has been paid or is not payable.

      SECTION 5.04.  Adjustment of Settlement Rate.

      (a) Adjustments for Dividends, Distributions, Stock Splits, Etc.

      (1) In case the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other
distribution on Common Stock in Common Stock, the Settlement Rate in effect at
the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the
determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other
distribution shall be increased by dividing such Settlement Rate by a fraction
of which:

            (i) the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
      outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such
      determination; and

            (ii) the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and
      the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other
      distribution,

such increase to become effective immediately after the opening of business on
the day following the date fixed for such determination. For the purposes of
this paragraph (1), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time
outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but
shall include any shares issuable in respect of any scrip certificates issued
in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company shall not pay any
dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the
treasury of the Company.

      (2) In case the Company shall issue rights, warrants or options to all
holders of its Common Stock (not being available on an equivalent basis to
Holders of the Securities upon settlement of the Purchase Contracts underlying
such Securities) entitling them, for a period expiring within 45 days after the
record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such
rights, warrants or options, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common
Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price per share of
Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled
to receive such rights, warrants or options, the Settlement Rate in effect at
the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such
determination shall be increased by dividing such Settlement Rate by a fraction
of which:

            (i) the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
      outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such
      determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the
      aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common
      Stock so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such
      Current

      Market Price;  and

            (ii) the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
      outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such
      determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock so offered for
      subscription or purchase,

such increase to become effective immediately after the opening of business on
the day following the date fixed for such determination. For the purposes of
this paragraph (2), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time
outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but
shall include any shares issuable in respect of any scrip certificates issued
in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company agrees that it
shall not issue any such rights, warrants or options in respect of shares of
Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.

      (3) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided or
split into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Settlement Rate in
effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such
subdivision or split becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, and,
conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined
into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Settlement Rate in effect
at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such
combination becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, such increase
or reduction, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the
opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision,
split or combination becomes effective.

      (4) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to
all holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets
(including securities, but excluding any rights, warrants or options referred
to in paragraph (2) of this Section 5.04(a), any dividend or distribution paid
exclusively in cash and any dividend or distribution referred to in paragraph
(1) of this Section 5.04(a)), the Settlement Rate shall be adjusted so that the
same shall equal the rate determined by dividing the Settlement Rate in effect
immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the
determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution by a
fraction of which:

            (i) the numerator shall be the Current Market Price per share of
      Common Stock on the date fixed for such determination less the then fair
      market value (as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors, whose
      determination shall be conclusive and the basis for which shall be
      described in a Board Resolution) of the portion of the assets or
      evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one share of
      Common Stock; and

            (ii) the denominator shall be such Current Market Price per share
      of Common Stock,

such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of
business on the day

                                       44
<PAGE>

following the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to
receive such distribution. In any case in which this paragraph (4) is
applicable, paragraph (2) of this Section 5.04(a) shall not be applicable. In
the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the
Settlement Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Settlement Rate which would
then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

      (5) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to
all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding:

            (i) any quarterly cash dividend on Common Stock to the extent that
      the aggregate cash dividend per share of Common Stock in any fiscal
      quarter does not exceed $____ per share (as adjusted from time to time to
      reflect the subdivisions or combinations of Common Stock, the "Dividend
      Threshold"), and

            (ii) any dividend or distribution in connection with the
      liquidation, dissolution or termination of the Company, whether voluntary
      or involuntary),

then, in such case, the Settlement Rate shall be increased so that the same
shall equal the rate determined by dividing the Settlement Rate in effect
immediately prior to the close of business on such record date by a fraction of
which:

            (i) the numerator shall be the Current Market Price of Common Stock
      on the record date less the amount of cash so distributed (and not
      excluded as provided above) applicable to one share of Common Stock; and

            (ii) the denominator shall be the Current Market Price of Common
      Stock,

such increase to be effective immediately prior to the opening of business on
the day following the record date; provided, however, that in the event the
portion of cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal
to or greater than the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the
record date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be
made so that each holder of a Security shall have the right to receive upon
settlement of the Securities the amount of cash such Holder would have received
had such Holder settled each Security on the record date. In the event that
such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Settlement Rate shall
again be adjusted to be the Settlement Rate which would then be in effect if
such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If any adjustment is
required to be made as set forth in this Section 5.04(a)(5) as a result of a
distribution that is a quarterly dividend, such adjustment shall be based upon
the amount by which such distribution exceeds the amount of the Dividend
Threshold. If an adjustment is required to be made as set forth in this Section
5.04(a)(5) above as a result of a distribution that is not a quarterly
dividend, such adjustment shall be based upon the full amount of the
distribution.

      (6) In case a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any
subsidiary of the

                                       45
<PAGE>

Company for all or any portion of Common Stock shall expire and such tender or
exchange offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the
payment to shareholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified
in the terms of the tender or exchange offer) of Purchased Shares as herein
defined) of (I) an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as
reasonably determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be
conclusive and the basis for which shall be described in a Board Resolution)
that combined together with the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market
value (as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination
shall be conclusive and the basis for which shall be described in a Board
Resolution), as of the expiration of such tender or exchange offer, of
consideration payable in respect of any other tender or exchange offer, by the
Company or any subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of Common Stock
expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such tender or
exchange offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this paragraph
(6) has been made, and (II) the aggregate amount of any distributions to all
holders of Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding
the expiration of such tender or exchange offer and in respect of which no
adjustment pursuant to paragraph (6) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product
of the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock as of the last time (the
"Expiration Time") tenders could have been made pursuant to such tender or
exchange offer (as it may be amended) times the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, then,
and in each such case, immediately prior to the opening of business on the day
after the date of the Expiration Time, the Settlement Rate shall be adjusted so
that the same shall equal the rate determined by dividing the Settlement Rate
immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the Expiration Time
by a fraction:

            (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to (A) the product of (I)
      the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the date of the
      Expiration Time and (II) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
      (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time less (B) the
      amount of cash plus the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of
      the aggregate consideration payable to shareholders based on the
      transactions described in clauses (I) and (II) above (assuming in the
      case of clause (I) the acceptance, up to any maximum specified in the
      terms of the tender or exchange offer, of Purchased Shares); and

            (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the product of (A)
      the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock as of the Expiration
      Time and (B) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including
      any tendered shares) as of the Expiration Time less the number of all
      shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the
      shares deemed so accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as
      the "Purchased Shares").

      (7) The reclassification of Common Stock into securities including
securities other than Common Stock (other than any reclassification upon a
Reorganization Event to which Section 5.04(b) applies) shall be deemed to
involve:

                                       46
<PAGE>

            (i) a distribution of such securities other than Common Stock to
      all holders of Common Stock (and the effective date of such
      reclassification shall be deemed to be "the date fixed for the
      determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution" and
      the "date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of paragraph
      (4) of this Section); and

            (ii) a subdivision, split or combination, as the case may be, of
      the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to
      such reclassification into the number of shares of Common Stock
      outstanding immediately thereafter (and the effective date of such
      reclassification shall be deemed to be "the day upon which such
      subdivision or split becomes effective" or "the day upon which such
      combination becomes effective", as the case may be, and "the day upon
      which such subdivision, split or combination becomes effective" within
      the meaning of paragraph (3) of this Section).

      (8) The "Current Market Price" per share of Common Stock on any date of
determination means the average of the daily Closing Prices for the five
consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 30
Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of such date of
determination and the day before the "ex date" with respect to the issuance or
distribution requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the
term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance or distribution, shall
mean the first date on which Common Stock trades on such exchange or in such
market without the right to receive such issuance or distribution.

      (9) All adjustments to the Settlement Rate shall be calculated to the
nearest 1/10,000th of a share of Common Stock (or if there is not a nearest
1/10,000th of a share, to the next lower 1/10,000th of a share). No adjustment
in the Settlement Rate shall be required unless such adjustment would require
an increase or decrease of at least one percent thereof; provided, however,
that any adjustments which by reason of this subparagraph are not required to
be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
adjustment. If an adjustment is made to the Settlement Rate pursuant to
paragraph (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7) or (10) of this Section 5.04(a), an
adjustment shall also be made to the Applicable Market Value solely to
determine which of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the definition of Settlement
Rate in Section 5.01 will apply on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date. Such
adjustment shall be made by multiplying the Applicable Market Value by a
fraction of which the numerator shall be the Settlement Rate immediately after
such adjustment pursuant to paragraph (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7) or (10)
of this Section 5.04(a) and the denominator shall be the Settlement Rate
immediately prior to such adjustment; provided, however, that if such
adjustment to the Settlement Rate is required to be made pursuant to the
occurrence of any of the events contemplated by paragraph (1), (2), (3), (4),
(5), (6), (7) or (10) of this Section 5.04(a) during the period taken into
consideration for determining the Applicable Market Value, appropriate and
customary adjustments shall be made to the Settlement Rate.

                                       47
<PAGE>

      (10) The Company may, but shall not be required to, make such increases
in the Settlement Rate, in addition to those required by this Section, as it
considers to be advisable in order to avoid or diminish any income tax to any
holders of shares of Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution
of stock or issuance of rights or warrants to purchase or subscribe for stock
or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes or for any other
reason.

      (b) Adjustment for Consolidation, Merger or Other Reorganization Event.

      (1) In the event of:

            (i) any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another
      Person (other than a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the
      continuing corporation and in which the shares of Common Stock
      outstanding immediately prior to the merger or consolidation are not
      exchanged for cash, securities or other property of the Company or
      another corporation);

            (ii) any sale, transfer, lease or conveyance to another Person of
      the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an
      entirety;

            (iii) any statutory share exchange of the Company with another
      Person (other than in connection with a merger or acquisition); or

            (iv) any liquidation, dissolution or termination of the Company
      other than as a result of or after the occurrence of a Termination Event,
      (any such event, a "Reorganization Event"),

the Settlement Rate will be adjusted to provide that each Holder of Securities
will receive on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date with respect to each
Purchase Contract forming a part thereof, the kind and amount of securities,
cash and other property receivable upon such Reorganization Event (without any
interest thereon, and without any right to dividends or distribution thereon
which have a record date that is prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement
Date) by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on account
of each Purchase Contract if the Purchase Contract Settlement Date had occurred
immediately prior to such Reorganization Event, assuming such Holder of Common
Stock is not a Person with which the Company consolidated or into which the
Company merged or which merged into the Company or to which such sale or
transfer was made, as the case may be (any such Person, a "Constituent
Person"), or an Affiliate of a Constituent Person to the extent such
Reorganization Event provides for different treatment of Common Stock held by
Affiliates of the Company and non-affiliates and such Holder failed to exercise
his rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash
and other property receivable upon such Reorganization Event (provided that if
the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such
Reorganization Event is not the same for each share of Common Stock held
immediately prior to such Reorganization Event

                                       48
<PAGE>

by other than a Constituent Person or an Affiliate thereof and in respect of
which such rights of election shall not have been exercised ("non-electing
share"), then for the purpose of this Section the kind and amount of
securities, cash and other property receivable upon such Reorganization Event
by each non-electing share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so
receivable per share by a plurality of the non-electing shares).

      In the event of such a Reorganization Event, the Person formed by such
consolidation, merger or exchange or the Person which acquires the assets of
the Company or, in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or termination of
the Company, the Company or a liquidating trust created in connection
therewith, shall execute and deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent an
agreement supplemental hereto providing that each Holder of an Outstanding
Security shall have the rights provided by this Section 5.04(b). Such
supplemental agreement shall provide for adjustments which, for events
subsequent to the effective date of such supplemental agreement, shall be as
nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this
Section. The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to
successive Reorganization Events.

     (2) In the event of a consolidation or merger of the Company with or into
another Person, any merger of another Person into the Company (other than a
merger that does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or
cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock) in which 30% or more of the
total consideration paid to the Company's shareholders consists of cash or cash
equivalents, then a Holder of a Security may settle his Purchase Contract for
cash as described in Section 5.02(a)(i) or 5.02(d)(i) hereof, as applicable,
during the one week period beginning on the twenty-third Trading Day following
the closing date of such merger (the "Early Settlement Week"), at the
applicable Settlement Rate. For the purposes of this Section, the twenty-third
Trading Day after the closing of the merger or consolidation shall be deemed to
be the Purchase Contract Settlement Date for the purpose of determining the
Applicable Market Value and the deadline for submitting the notice to settle
early and the related cash payment shall be 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) of
the last Business Day of the Early Settlement Week. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no early settlement will be permitted under this Section 5.04(b)(2)
unless, at the time such early settlement is effected, there is an effective
Registration Statement with respect to the shares of Common Stock to be issued
and delivered in connection with such early settlement, if such a Registration
Statement is required (in the view of counsel, which need not be in the form of
a written opinion, for either the Company or the Purchase Contract Agent) under
the Securities Act. If such a Registration Statement is so required, the
Company covenants and agrees to use its best efforts to (A) have in effect a
Registration Statement covering the shares of Common Stock to be delivered in
respect of the Purchase Contracts being settled and (B) provide a Prospectus in
connection therewith, in each case in a form that the Purchase Contract Agent
may use in connection with such early settlement.

      (c) All calculations and determinations pursuant to this Section 5.04
shall be made by the Company or its agent and the Purchase Contract Agent shall
have no responsibility with respect thereto.

                                       49

      SECTION 5.05. Notice of Adjustments and Certain Other Events.

      (a) Whenever the Settlement Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the
Company shall:

            (i) forthwith compute the adjusted Settlement Rate in accordance
      with Section 5.04 and prepare and transmit to the Purchase Contract Agent
      an Officers' Certificate setting forth the Settlement Rate, the method of
      calculation thereof in reasonable detail, and the facts requiring such
      adjustment and upon which such adjustment is based; and

            (ii) within 10 Business Days following the occurrence of an event
      that requires an adjustment to the Settlement Rate pursuant to Section
      5.04 (or if the Company is not aware of such occurrence, as soon as
      practicable after becoming so aware), provide a written notice to the
      Holders of the Securities of the occurrence of such event and a statement
      in reasonable detail setting forth the method by which the adjustment to
      the Settlement Rate was determined and setting forth the adjusted
      Settlement Rate.

      (b) The Purchase Contract Agent shall not at any time be under any duty
or responsibility to any Holder of Securities to determine whether any facts
exist which may require any adjustment of the Settlement Rate, or with respect
to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or
with respect to the method employed in making the same. The Purchase Contract
Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the
kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, or of any securities or
property, which may at the time be issued or delivered with respect to any
Purchase Contract; and the Purchase Contract Agent makes no representation with
respect thereto. The Purchase Contract Agent shall not be responsible for any
failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock
pursuant to a Purchase Contract or to comply with any of the duties,
responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Article.

      SECTION 5.06. Termination Event; Notice.

      The Purchase Contracts and all obligations and rights of the Company and
the Holders thereunder, including, without limitation, the rights of the
Holders to receive and the obligation of the Company to pay any Purchase
Contract Payments (including any deferred or accrued and unpaid Purchase
Contract Payments), if the Company shall have such obligation, and the rights
and obligations of Holders to purchase Common Stock, shall immediately and
automatically terminate, without the necessity of any notice or action by any
Holder, the Purchase Contract Agent or the Company, if, prior to or on the
Purchase Contract Settlement Date, a Termination Event shall have occurred.

      Upon and after the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Securities
shall thereafter represent the right to receive the Preferred Securities, the
[Subordinated] Notes, the Treasury Securities or the appropriate Applicable
Ownership Interest of the Treasury Portfolio, as the case

                                       50
<PAGE>

may be, forming part of such Securities, in accordance with the provisions of
Section 5.04 of the Pledge Agreement. Upon the occurrence of a Termination
Event, the Company shall promptly but in no event later than two Business Days
thereafter give written notice to the Purchase Contract Agent, the Collateral
Agent and the Holders, at their addresses as they appear in the Security
Register.

      SECTION 5.07. Early Settlement.

      (a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Section
5.07, at the option of the Holder thereof, Purchase Contracts underlying
Securities may be settled early ("Early Settlement") on or prior to 5:00 p.m.
(New York City time) on the seventh Business Day immediately preceding the
Purchase Contract Settlement Date. Holders of Treasury Stock Purchase Units may
only settle the related Purchase Contracts in integral multiples of 40 Purchase
Contracts. In order to exercise the right to effect Early Settlement with
respect to any Purchase Contracts, the Holder of the Certificate evidencing
Securities shall deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent at the Corporate Trust
Office an "Election to Settle Early" form (on the reverse side of the
Certificate) and any other documents requested by the Purchase Contract Agent
and accompanied by payment (payable to the Company in immediately available
funds) in an amount (the "Early Settlement Amount") equal to the product of (i)
(A) the Stated Amount times (B) the number of Purchase Contracts with respect
to which the Holder has elected to effect Early Settlement, plus (ii) if such
delivery is made with respect to any Purchase Contracts during the period from
the close of business on any Record Date next preceding any Payment Date to the
opening of business on such Payment Date, an amount equal to the Purchase
Contract Payments payable on such Payment Date with respect to such Purchase
Contracts.

      Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence and subject to
Section 5.11(c), no payment shall be made upon Early Settlement of any Purchase
Contract on account of any Purchase Contract Payments accrued on such Purchase
Contract or on account of dividends payable on the Common Stock issued upon
such Early Settlement, the record date for which payment occurs prior to the
Early Settlement Date. If the foregoing requirements are first satisfied with
respect to Purchase Contracts underlying any Securities prior to or at 5:00
p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day, such day shall be the "Early
Settlement Date" with respect to such Securities and if such requirements are
first satisfied after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day or on a
day that is not a Business Day, the "Early Settlement Date" with respect to
such Securities shall be the next succeeding Business Day (so long as such next
succeeding Business Day is not later than the seventh Business Day immediately
preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date).

      (b) No Early Settlement will be permitted under this Section 5.07 unless,
at the time of delivery of the Election to Settle Early form or time the Early
Settlement is effected, there is an effective Registration Statement with
respect to the shares of Common Stock to be issued and delivered in connection
with such Early Settlement, if such a Registration Statement is required (in
the view of counsel, which need not be in the form of a written opinion, for
either the

                                       51
<PAGE>

Company or the Purchase Contract Agent) under the Securities Act. If such a
Registration Statement is so required, the Company covenants and agrees to use
its best efforts to (A) have in effect a Registration Statement covering the
shares of Common Stock to be delivered in respect of the Purchase Contracts
being settled and (B) provide a Prospectus in connection therewith, in each
case in a form that the Purchase Contract Agent may use in connection with such
Early Settlement.

      (c) Upon Early Settlement of Purchase Contracts by a Holder of the
related Securities, the Company shall issue, and the Holder shall be entitled
to receive _______ share of Common Stock on account of each Purchase Contract
as to which Early Settlement is effected (the "Early Settlement Rate"). The
Early Settlement Rate shall be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time
as the Settlement Rate is adjusted.

      (d) Not later than the third Business Day after the applicable Early
Settlement Date, the Company shall cause:

            (i) the shares of Common Stock issuable upon Early Settlement of
      Purchase Contracts to be issued and delivered, together with payment in
      lieu of any fraction of a share, as provided in Section 5.09; and

            (ii) the related Preferred Securities, [Subordinated] Notes or the
      appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of
      the definition of such term) of the Treasury Portfolio, in the case of
      Stock Purchase Units, or the related Treasury Securities, in the case of
      Treasury Stock Purchase Units, to be released from the Pledge by the
      Collateral Agent and transferred, in each case, to the Purchase Contract
      Agent for delivery to the Holder thereof or its designee.

      (e) Upon Early Settlement of any Purchase Contracts, and subject to
receipt of shares of Common Stock from the Company and the Preferred
Securities, [Subordinated] Notes, the appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest
as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) of the Treasury
Portfolio, or Treasury Securities, as the case may be, from the Securities
Intermediary, as applicable, the Purchase Contract Agent shall, in accordance
with the instructions provided by the Holder thereof on the Election to Settle
Early form (on the reverse of the Certificate evidencing the related
Securities):

            (i) transfer to the Holder the Preferred Securities, [Subordinated]
      Notes, the appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in
      clause (A) of the definition of such term) of the Treasury Portfolio or
      Treasury Securities, as the case may be, forming a part of such
      Securities;

            (ii) deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates for the
      full number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such Early
      Settlement, together with payment in lieu of any fraction of a share, as
      provided in Section 5.09; and

                                       52
<PAGE>

            (iii) if so required under the Securities Act, deliver a Prospectus
      for the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such Early Settlement as
      contemplated by Section 5.07(b).

      (f) In the event that Early Settlement is effected with respect to
Purchase Contracts underlying less than all the Securities evidenced by a
Certificate, upon such Early Settlement the Company shall execute and the
Purchase Contract Agent shall authenticate, countersign and deliver to the
Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a Certificate evidencing the
Securities as to which Early Settlement was not effected.

      (g) A Holder of a Security who effects Early Settlement may elect to have
the Preferred Securities or [Subordinated] Notes, as the case may be, no longer
a part of a Stock Purchase Unit remarketed. A Holder making such an election
must notify the Property Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be,
prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the fifth Business Day immediately
preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, of the aggregate number of
Preferred Securities or [Subordinated] Notes that are not part of Stock
Purchase Units to be remarketed. Any such notice will be irrevocable and may
not be conditioned upon the level at which the Reset Rate is established in the
Remarketing. Concurrently, the Property Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as
the case may be, shall cause such Preferred Securities or [Subordinated] Notes,
as the case may be, to be presented to the Remarketing Agent for Remarketing.

      SECTION 5.08. Intentionally Omitted.

      SECTION 5.09. No Fractional Shares.

      No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares of Common
Stock shall be issued or delivered upon settlement on the Purchase Contract
Settlement Date or upon Early Settlement of any Purchase Contracts. If
Certificates evidencing more than one Purchase Contract shall be surrendered
for settlement at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares of
Common Stock which shall be delivered upon settlement shall be computed on the
basis of the aggregate number of Purchase Contracts evidenced by the
Certificates so surrendered. Instead of any fractional share of Common Stock
which would otherwise be deliverable upon settlement of any Purchase Contracts
on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date or upon Early Settlement, the Company,
through the Purchase Contract Agent, shall make a cash payment in respect of
such fractional interest in an amount equal to the value of such fractional
shares times the Applicable Market Value. The Company shall provide the
Purchase Contract Agent from time to time with sufficient funds to permit the
Purchase Contract Agent to make all cash payments required by this Section 5.09
in a timely manner.

      SECTION 5.10. Charges and Taxes.

      The Company will pay all stock transfer and similar taxes attributable to
the initial issuance and delivery of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to the
Purchase Contracts;

                                       53
<PAGE>

provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any such tax
or taxes which may be payable in respect of any exchange of or substitution for
a Certificate evidencing a Security or any issuance of a share of Common Stock
in a name other than that of the registered Holder of a Certificate surrendered
in respect of the Securities evidenced thereby, other than in the name of the
Purchase Contract Agent, as custodian for such Holder, and the Company shall
not be required to issue or deliver such share certificates or Certificates
unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the transfer or issuance
thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have
established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

      SECTION 5.11. Purchase Contract Payments.

      (a) Subject to Section 5.12, the Company shall pay, on each Payment Date,
the Purchase Contract Payments payable in respect of each Purchase Contract to
the Person in whose name a Certificate is registered at the close of business
on the Record Date next preceding such Payment Date. The Purchase Contract
Payments will be payable at the office of the Purchase Contract Agent in New
York City maintained for that purpose or, at the option of the Holder, by check
mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto at such Person's address
as it appears on the Security Register. If any date on which Purchase Contract
Payments are to be made is not a Business Day, then payment of the Purchase
Contract Payments payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day
that is a Business Day (and without any interest in respect of any such delay),
except that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, such
payment will be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. Purchase
Contract Payments payable for any period will be computed (i) for any full
quarterly period on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and
(ii) for any period shorter than a full quarterly period, on the basis of a
30-day month and, for periods of less than a month, on the basis of the actual
number of days elapsed per 30-day month.

      (b) Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Company's obligation
to pay future Purchase Contract Payments (including any accrued or deferred
Purchase Contract Payments) shall cease.

      (c) Each Certificate delivered under this Agreement upon registration of
transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of (including as a result of a
Collateral Substitution or the reestablishment of Stock Purchase Units) any
other Certificate shall carry the right to accrued or deferred and unpaid
Purchase Contract Payments and the right to accrue Purchase Contract Payments,
which rights were carried by the Purchase Contracts underlying such other
Certificates.

      (d) Subject to Section 5.07, in the case of any Security with respect to
which Early Settlement of the underlying Purchase Contract is effected on an
Early Settlement Date that is after any Record Date and prior to or on the next
succeeding Payment Date, Purchase Contract Payments otherwise payable on such
Payment Date shall be payable on such Payment Date

                                       54
<PAGE>

notwithstanding such Early Settlement, and such Purchase Contract Payments
shall be paid to the Person in whose name the Certificate evidencing such
Security is registered at the close of business on such Record Date. Except as
otherwise expressly provided in the immediately preceding sentence, in the case
of any Security with respect to which Early Settlement of the underlying
Purchase Contract is effected on an Early Settlement Date, Purchase Contract
Payments that would otherwise be payable after the Early Settlement Date with
respect to such Purchase Contract shall not be payable.

      SECTION 5.12. Deferral of Purchase Contract Payments.

      (a) The Company has the right to defer payment of all or part of the
Purchase Contract Payments in respect of each Purchase Contract until no later
than the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, but only if the Company shall give
the Holders and the Purchase Contract Agent written notice of its election to
defer such payment (specifying the amount to be deferred) at least ten Business
Days prior to the earlier of (i) the next succeeding Payment Date or (ii) the
date the Company is required to give notice of the Record Date or Payment Date
with respect to payment of such Purchase Contract Payments to the NYSE or other
applicable self-regulatory organization or to Holders of the Securities, but in
any event not less than one Business Day prior to such Record Date. If the
Company so elects to defer Purchase Contract Payments, the Company shall pay
additional Purchase Contract Payments on such deferred installments of Purchase
Contract Payments at a rate equal to ___% per annum, compounding quarterly,
until such deferred installments are paid in full. Deferred Purchase Contract
Payments shall be due on the Payment Date except to the extent that payment is
deferred pursuant to this Section. Except as otherwise provided in Section
5.11(d), in the case of any Security with respect to which Early Settlement of
the underlying Purchase Contract is effected on an Early Settlement Date, the
Holder will have no right to receive any accrued or deferred Purchase Contract
Payments.

      (b) In the event the Company elects to defer the payment of Purchase
Contract Payments on the Purchase Contracts until the Purchase Contract
Settlement Date, each Holder will receive on the Purchase Contract Settlement
Date the aggregate amount of accrued and unpaid Purchase Contract Payments. The
Company shall pay such amounts on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date in the
manner described in Section 5.02(e).

      (c) In the event the Company exercises its option to defer the payment of
Purchase Contract Payments, then, until all deferred Purchase Contract Payments
have been paid, the Company shall not (a) make any payment of principal,
interest or premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt
securities that rank junior to the [Subordinated] Notes in the right of payment
issued by the Company, or (b) make any guarantee payments with respect to any
guarantee by the Company of any securities of any of its subsidiaries if such
guarantee ranks junior to the [Subordinated] Notes in the right of payment, (c)
declare or pay any dividends or distributions on any of the Company's capital
stock or (d) redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with
respect to, any of the Company's capital stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Company may (1) purchase or acquire its capital stock in connection with
the

                                       55
<PAGE>

satisfaction by it of its obligations under any employee benefit plans or
pursuant to any contract or security outstanding on the first day of any such
event requiring it to purchase its capital stock; (2) reclassify its capital
stock or exchange or convert one class or series of its capital stock for
another class or series of its capital stock; (3) purchase fractional interests
in shares of its capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange
provisions of such capital stock or the security being converted or exchanged;
(4) declare dividends or distributions in its capital stock; (5) redeem or
repurchase any rights pursuant to a rights agreement; and (6) make payments
under the Guarantee related to the Preferred Securities.

                                    REMEDIES

      SECTION 6.01. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Purchase Contract
Payments and to Purchase Shares of Common Stock.

      Each Holder of a Security shall have the right, which is absolute and
unconditional, (i) subject to the right of the Company to defer such payments
in accordance with Section 5.12, to receive each Purchase Contract Payment with
respect to the Purchase Contract comprising part of such Security on the
respective Payment Date for such Security and (ii) to purchase shares of Common
Stock pursuant to such Purchase Contract and, in each such case, to institute
suit for the enforcement of any such right to receive Purchase Contract
Payments and the right to purchase shares of Common Stock, and such rights
shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

      SECTION 6.02. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

      If any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or
remedy under this Agreement and such proceeding has been discontinued or
abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to such Holder, then
and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the
Company and such Holder shall be restored severally and respectively to their
former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of such
Holder shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

      SECTION 6.03. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

      Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment
of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificates in the last paragraph of
Section 3.10, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the
Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every
right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in
addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any
right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent
assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

                                       56
<PAGE>

      SECTION 6.04. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

      No delay or omission of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy upon a
default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any
such right. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the
Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed
expedient, by such Holders.

      SECTION 6.05. Undertaking for Costs.

      All parties to this Agreement agree, and each Holder of a Security, by
its acceptance of such Security shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court
may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or
remedy under this Agreement, or in any suit against the Purchase Contract Agent
for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Purchase Contract Agent, the
filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of
such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs,
including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs against any party litigant in
such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or
defenses made by such party litigant; provided that the provisions of this
Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Purchase Contract Agent,
to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the
aggregate more than 10% of the Outstanding Securities, or to any suit
instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of distributions on any Preferred
Securities or interest on any [Subordinated] Notes or Purchase Contract
Payments on or after the respective Payment Date therefor in respect of any
Security held by such Holder, or for enforcement of the right to purchase
shares of Common Stock under the Purchase Contracts constituting part of any
Security held by such Holder.

      SECTION 6.06. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.

      The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it
will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim
or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever
enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants
or the performance of this Agreement; and the Company (to the extent that it
may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any
such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution
of any power herein granted to the Purchase Contract Agent or the Holders, but
will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law
had been enacted.

      officer shall take charge or control of the Purchase Contract Agent or of
      its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation
      or liquidation,

then, in any such case, (i) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the
Purchase Contract Agent, or (ii) any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of
a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others
similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
removal of the Purchase Contract Agent and the appointment of a successor
Purchase Contract Agent.

      (e) If the Purchase Contract Agent shall resign, be removed or become
incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Purchase
Contract Agent for any cause, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall
promptly appoint a successor Purchase Contract Agent and shall comply with the
applicable requirements of Section 7.10. If no successor Purchase Contract
Agent shall have been so appointed by the Company and accepted appointment in
the manner required by Section 7.10, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder
of a Security for at least six months, on behalf of itself and all others
similarly situated, or the Purchase Contract Agent may petition at the expense
of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Purchase Contract Agent.

Agent by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage
prepaid, to all Holders as their names and addresses appear in the applicable

      (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Purchase Contract
Agent, every such successor Purchase Contract Agent so appointed shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Purchase Contract
Agent an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation
or removal of the retiring Purchase Contract Agent shall become effective and
such successor Purchase Contract Agent, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, agencies and
duties of the retiring Purchase Contract Agent; but, on the request of the
Company or the successor Purchase Contract Agent, such retiring Purchase
Contract Agent shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an
instrument transferring to such successor Purchase Contract Agent all the
rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Purchase Contract Agent and shall
duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Purchase Contract Agent all
property and money held by such retiring Purchase Contract Agent hereunder.

Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly
vesting in and confirming to such successor Purchase Contract Agent all such

all the corporate trust business of the Purchase Contract Agent, shall be the
successor of the Purchase Contract Agent hereunder, provided that such
corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, with
the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of
the parties hereto. In case any Certificates shall have been authenticated and
executed on behalf of the Holders, but not delivered, by the Purchase Contract
Agent then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to
such Purchase Contract Agent may adopt such authentication and execution and
deliver the Certificates so authenticated and executed with the same effect as

such Securities.

      SECTION 7.12. Preservation of Information; Communications to Holders.

      (a) The Purchase Contract Agent shall preserve, in as current a form as
is reasonably

            (1) change any Payment Date;

            (2) change the amount or the type of Collateral required to be

              CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, CONVEYANCE, TRANSFER OR LEASE

      SECTION 9.01. Covenant Not to Consolidate, Merge, Convey, Transfer or
Lease Property Except under Certain Conditions.

      The Company covenants that it will not consolidate with or merge into any
other corporation or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its
properties and assets to any Person, unless:

                                       68
<PAGE>

            (i) the corporation formed by such consolidation or into which the
      Company is merged or the Person which acquires by conveyance or transfer,
      or which leases, all or substantially all of the Company's properties and
      assets shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of
      the United States of America or a State thereof or the District of
      Columbia and such corporation shall expressly assume all the obligations
      of the Company under the Purchase Contracts, this Agreement and the
      Pledge Agreement by one or more supplemental agreements in form
      reasonably satisfactory to the Purchase Contract Agent and the Collateral
      Agent, executed and delivered to the Purchase Contract Agent and the
      Collateral Agent by such corporation; and

            (ii) the Company or such successor corporation, as the case may be,
      shall not, immediately after such consolidation, merger, conveyance,
      transfer or lease, be in default in the performance of any covenant or
      condition hereunder, under any of the Securities or under the Pledge
      Agreement.

      SECTION 9.02. Rights and Duties of Successor Corporation.

      In case of any such merger, consolidation, share exchange, sale,
assignment, transfer, lease or conveyance and upon any such assumption by a
successor corporation in accordance with Section 9.01, such successor
corporation shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company with the same
effect as if it had been named herein as the Company. Such successor
corporation thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own
name or in the name of International Paper Company, any or all of the
Certificates evidencing Securities issuable hereunder which theretofore shall
not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Purchase Contract
Agent; and, upon the order of such successor corporation, instead of the
Company, and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this
Agreement prescribed, the Purchase Contract Agent shall authenticate and
execute on behalf of the Holders and deliver any Certificates which previously
shall have been signed and delivered by the officers of the Company to the
Purchase Contract Agent for authentication and execution, and any Certificate
evidencing Securities which such successor corporation thereafter shall cause
to be signed and delivered to the Purchase Contract Agent for that purpose. All
the Certificates issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and
benefit under this Agreement as the Certificates theretofore or thereafter
issued in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as though all of such
Certificates had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

      In case of any such merger, consolidation, share exchange, sale,
assignment, transfer, lease or conveyance such change in phraseology and form
(but not in substance) may be made in the Certificates evidencing Securities
thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate.

      SECTION 9.03. Officers' Certificate and Opinion of Counsel Given to
Purchase Contract Agent.

      The Purchase Contract Agent, subject to Sections 7.01 and 7.03, shall
receive an Officers'

                                       69
<PAGE>

Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any such
merger, consolidation, share exchange, sale, assignment, transfer, lease or
conveyance, and any such assumption, complies with the provisions of this
Article and that all conditions precedent to the consummation of any such
merger, consolidation, share exchange, sale, assignment, transfer, lease or
conveyance have been met.

office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Purchase Contract Agent with the
address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be
made or served at the Corporate Trust Office, and the Company hereby appoints
the Purchase Contract Agent as its agent to receive all such presentations,
surrenders, notices and demands.

or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations;
provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner
relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the
Borough of Manhattan, New York City for such purposes. The Company will give
prompt written notice to the Purchase Contract Agent of any such designation or
rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or

Securities the Corporate Trust Office and appoints the Purchase Contract Agent
at its Corporate Trust Office as paying agent in such city.

the signers of which shall be the principal executive officer, principal
financial officer or principal accounting officer of the Company), stating
whether or not to the knowledge of the signers thereof the Company is in
default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and
conditions hereof, and if the Company shall be in default, specifying all such
defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge.

      SECTION 10.06. ERISA.

      Each Holder from time to time of the Securities that is a Plan hereby
represents that its acquisition of the Stock Purchase Units and the holding of
the same satisfies the applicable fiduciary requirements of ERISA and that it
is entitled to exemption relief from the prohibited transaction provisions of
ERISA and the Code in accordance with one or more prohibited transaction
exemptions or otherwise will not result in a nonexempt prohibited transaction.

             (FORM OF REVERSE OF STOCK PURCHASE UNITS CERTIFICATE)

      Each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby is governed by a Purchase
Contract Agreement, dated as of _____________, 20__ (as may be supplemented
from time to time, the "Purchase Contract Agreement"), between the Company and
[                       ], as Purchase Contract Agent (including its successors
hereunder, the "Purchase Contract Agent"), to which Purchase Contract Agreement
and supplemental agreements thereto reference is hereby made for a description
of the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and
immunities thereunder of the Purchase Contract Agent, the Company, and the
Holders and of the terms upon which the Stock Purchase Units Certificates are,
and are to be, executed and delivered.

      Unless a Cash Settlement or an Early Settlement has occurred, each
Purchase Contract evidenced hereby obligates the Holder of this Stock Purchase
Units Certificate to purchase, and the Company to sell, on the Purchase
Contract Settlement Date at a price equal to the Stated Amount (the "Purchase
Price"), a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Settlement Rate,
unless, prior to or on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, there shall have
occurred a Termination Event with respect to the Security of which such
Purchase Contract is a part or an Early Settlement shall have occurred. The
"Settlement Rate" is equal to:

            (1) if the Applicable Market Value (as defined below) is greater
      than or equal to $______ (the "Threshold Appreciation Price"), _____
      shares of Common Stock per Purchase Contract;

            (2) if the Applicable Market Value is less than the Threshold
      Appreciation Price but greater than $______ (the "Reference Price"), the
      number of shares of Common Stock per Purchase Contract having a value,
      based on the Applicable Market Value, equal to $25; and

            (3) if the Applicable Market Value is less than or equal to the
      Reference Price, _____ share of Common Stock per Purchase Contract,

in each case subject to adjustment as provided in the Purchase Contract
Agreement (and in each case rounded upward or downward to the nearest
1/10,000th of a share).

      No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon settlement of
Purchase Contracts, as provided in Section 5.09 of the Purchase Contract
Agreement.

      Each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby, which is settled either through
Early Settlement or Cash Settlement, shall obligate the Holder of the related
Stock Purchase Unit to purchase at the Purchase Price, and the Company to sell,
a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Early Settlement Rate or
Settlement Rate, as applicable.

                                     A-6
<PAGE>

      The "Applicable Market Value" means the average of the Closing Price per
share of Common Stock on each of the 20 consecutive Trading Days ending on the
third Trading Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date.

      The "Closing Price" per share of Common Stock on any date of
determination means:

            (1) the closing sale price as of the close of the principal trading
      session (or, if no closing price is reported, the last reported sale
      price) per share on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the "NYSE") on
      such date;

            (2) if Common Stock is not listed for trading on the NYSE on any
      such date, the closing sale price per share as reported in the composite
      transactions for the principal United States securities exchange on which
      Common Stock is so listed;

            (3) if Common Stock is not so listed on a United States national or
      regional securities exchange, the closing sale price per share as
      reported by The Nasdaq National Market;

            (4) if Common Stock is not so reported, the last quoted bid price
      for Common Stock in the over-the-counter market as reported by the
      National Quotation Bureau or similar organization; or

            (5) if such bid price is not available, the average of the
      mid-point of the last bid and ask prices of Common Stock on such date
      from at least three nationally recognized independent investment banking
      firms retained for this purpose by the Company.

      A "Trading Day" means a day on which Common Stock (1) is not suspended
from trading on any national or regional securities exchange or association or
over-the-counter market at the close of business and (2) has traded at least
once on the national or regional securities exchange or association or
over-the-counter market that is the primary market for the trading of Common
Stock.

      In accordance with the terms of the Purchase Contract Agreement, the
Holder of this Stock Purchase Units Certificate may pay the Purchase Price for
the shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to each Purchase Contract
evidenced hereby by effecting a Cash Settlement or an Early Settlement or from
the proceeds of the Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A)
of the definition of such term) of the Treasury Portfolio or a Remarketing of
the related Pledged Preferred Securities. A Holder of Stock Purchase Units who
does not effect, on or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the fifth
Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date (or in
the event a Tax Event Redemption has occurred, the Business Day prior to the
Purchase Contract Settlement Date), an effective Cash Settlement, or who does
not effect on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the seventh
Business Day prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date an effective Early
Settlement, shall pay the

                                     A-7
<PAGE>

Purchase Price for the shares of Common Stock to be delivered under the related
Purchase Contract from the proceeds of the sale of the related Pledged
Preferred Securities held by the Collateral Agent. Such sale will be made by
the Remarketing Agent pursuant to the terms of the Remarketing Agreement on the
third Business Day prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date. If, as
provided in the Purchase Contract Agreement, upon the occurrence of a Failed
Remarketing, the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Company, exercises
its rights as a secured creditor with respect to the Pledged Preferred
Securities related to this Stock Purchase Units certificate, any accrued and
unpaid distributions on such Pledged Preferred Securities will become payable
by the Company to the holder of this Stock Purchase Units Certificate in the
manner provided for in the Purchase Contract Agreement.

      The Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock in
respect of a Purchase Contract or deliver any certificates therefor to the
Holder unless it shall have received payment of the aggregate purchase price
for the shares of Common Stock to be purchased thereunder in the manner herein
set forth.

      Each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby and all obligations and rights of
the Company and the Holder thereunder shall terminate if a Termination Event
shall occur. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Company shall give
written notice to the Purchase Contract Agent and to the Holders, at their
addresses as they appear in the Security Register. Upon and after the
occurrence of a Termination Event, the Collateral Agent shall release the
Pledged Preferred Security or the appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest (as
specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) of the Treasury
Portfolio forming a part of each Stock Purchase Unit from the Pledge. A Stock
Purchase Unit shall thereafter represent the right to receive the Preferred
Security or the appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest of the Treasury
Portfolio forming a part of such Stock Purchase Unit in accordance with the
terms of the Purchase Contract Agreement and the Pledge Agreement.

      Under the terms of the Pledge Agreement, the Purchase Contract Agent will
be entitled to exercise the voting and any other consensual rights pertaining
to the Pledged Preferred Securities. Upon receipt of notice of any meeting at
which holders of Preferred Securities are entitled to vote or upon the
solicitation of consents, waivers or proxies of holders of Preferred
Securities, the Purchase Contract Agent shall, as soon as practicable
thereafter, mail to the Stock Purchase Units Holders a notice:

            (1) containing such information as is contained in the notice or
      solicitation;

            (2) stating that each Stock Purchase Unit Holder on the record date
      set by the Purchase Contract Agent therefor (which, to the extent
      possible, shall be the same date as the record date for determining the
      holders of Preferred Securities entitled to vote) shall be entitled to
      instruct the Purchase Contract Agent as to the exercise of the voting
      rights pertaining to the Preferred Securities constituting a part of such
      Holder's Stock Purchase Unit; and

                                     A-8
<PAGE>

            (3) stating the manner in which such instructions may be given.

Upon the written request of the Stock Purchase Unit Holders on such record
date, the Purchase Contract Agent shall endeavor insofar as practicable to vote
or cause to be voted, in accordance with the instructions set forth in such
requests, the maximum number of Preferred Securities as to which any particular
voting instructions are received. In the absence of specific instructions from
the Holder of a Stock Purchase Unit, the Purchase Contract Agent shall abstain
from voting the Preferred Security evidenced by such Stock Purchase Unit.

      Upon the dissolution and liquidation of the Trust, an aggregate principal
amount of the [Subordinated] Notes constituting the assets of the Trust and
underlying the Preferred Securities equal to the aggregate liquidation amount
of the Pledged Preferred Securities shall be delivered to the Securities
Intermediary in exchange for the Pledged Preferred Securities. Thereafter, the
[Subordinated] Notes shall be held by the Securities Intermediary to secure the
obligations of each Holder of Stock Purchase Units to purchase shares of Common
Stock under the Purchase Contracts constituting a part of such Stock Purchase
Units.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a dissolution and
liquidation of the Trust, if a Liquidation Distribution is to be distributed in
lieu of the [Subordinated] Notes as provided for in the Declaration, an amount
equal to the Liquidation Distribution shall be deposited in the Collateral
Account in exchange for the Pledged Preferred Securities. Thereafter, pursuant
to the terms of the Pledge Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall cause the
Securities Intermediary to apply an amount equal to the Redemption Amount of
such Liquidation Distribution to purchase on behalf of the Holders of Stock
Purchase Units the Treasury Portfolio and promptly remit the remaining portion
of such Liquidation Distribution to the Purchase Contract Agent for payment to
the Holders of such Stock Purchase Units. The Applicable Ownership Interest (as
specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) of the Treasury
Portfolio will be substituted as Collateral for the Pledged Preferred
Securities and will be held by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the
terms of the Pledge Agreement to secure the obligation of each Holder of a
Stock Purchase Unit to purchase the Common Stock of the Company under the
Purchase Contract constituting a part of such Stock Purchase Unit.

      Following the dissolution and liquidation of the Trust, the Holders and
the Collateral Agent shall have such security interests, rights and obligations
with respect to the [Subordinated] Notes or the Applicable Ownership Interest
(as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) of the Treasury
Portfolio, as the case may be, as the Holders and the Collateral Agent had in
respect of the Pledged Preferred Securities, any reference herein to the
Preferred Securities shall be deemed to be a reference to the [Subordinated]
Notes or the Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the
definition of such term) of the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be, and any
reference herein to the liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities shall be
deemed to be a reference to the principal amount of the [Subordinated] Notes or
the Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition
of such term) of the

                                      A-9
<PAGE>

Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be.

      Upon the occurrence of a Tax Event Redemption prior to the Purchase
Contract Settlement Date, an amount equal to the Redemption Amount plus any
accumulated and unpaid distributions payable on the Tax Event Redemption Date
with respect to the Applicable Principal Amount shall be deposited in the
Collateral Account in exchange for the Pledged Preferred Securities.
Thereafter, pursuant to the terms of the Pledge Agreement, the Collateral Agent
shall cause the Securities Intermediary to apply an amount equal to the
Redemption Amount of such funds to purchase on behalf of the Holders of Stock
Purchase Units, the Treasury Portfolio and promptly (a) transfer the Applicable
Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term)
of the Treasury Portfolio to the Collateral Account to secure the obligations
of each Holder of Stock Purchase Units to purchase shares of Common Stock under
the Purchase Contracts constituting a part of such Stock Purchase Units, (b)
transfer the Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (B) of the
definition of such term) of the Treasury Portfolio to the Purchase Contract
Agent for the benefit of the Holders of such Stock Purchase Units and (C) remit
the remaining portion of such funds to the Purchase Contract Agent for payment
to the Holders of such Stock Purchase Units.

      Following the occurrence of a Tax Event Redemption prior to the Purchase
Contract Settlement Date, the Holders of Stock Purchase Units and the
Collateral Agent shall have such security interest rights and obligations with
respect to the Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the
definition of such term) of the Treasury Portfolio as the Holder of Stock
Purchase Units and the Collateral Agent had in respect of the Preferred
Securities or [Subordinated] Notes, as the case may be, subject to the Pledge
thereof as provided in the Pledge Agreement and any reference herein to the
Preferred Securities shall be deemed to be a reference to such Treasury
Portfolio.

      The Stock Purchase Certificates are issuable only in registered form and
only in denominations of a single Stock Purchase Unit and any integral multiple
thereof. The transfer of any Stock Purchase Units Certificate will be
registered and Stock Purchase Units Certificates may be exchanged as provided
in the Purchase Contract Agreement. The Security Registrar may require a
Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer
documents permitted by the Purchase Contract Agreement. No service charge shall
be required for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company
and the Purchase Contract Agent may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. A
Holder who elects to substitute a Treasury Security for Preferred Securities,
thereby creating Treasury Stock Purchase Units, shall be responsible for any
fees or expenses payable in connection therewith. Except as provided in the
Purchase Contract Agreement, for so long as the Purchase Contract underlying a
Stock Purchase Unit remains in effect, such Stock Purchase Unit shall not be
separable into its constituent parts, and the rights and obligations of the
Holder of such Stock Purchase Unit in respect of the Preferred Securities and
Purchase Contract constituting such Stock Purchase Unit may be transferred and
exchanged only as a Stock Purchase Unit.

                                      A-10
<PAGE>

      The Holder of Stock Purchase Units may substitute for the Pledged
Preferred Securities securing such Holder's obligations under the related
Purchase Contracts Treasury Securities in an aggregate principal amount equal
to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Pledged Preferred Securities in
accordance with the terms of the Purchase Contract Agreement and the Pledge
Agreement. From and after such Collateral Substitution, each Security for which
such Pledged Treasury Securities secures the Holder's obligation under the
Purchase Contract shall be referred to as a "Treasury Stock Purchase Unit". A
Holder may make such Collateral Substitution only in integral multiples of 40
Stock Purchase Units for 40 Treasury Stock Purchase Units.

      A Holder of Treasury Stock Purchase Units may recreate Stock Purchase
Units by delivering to the Securities Intermediary Preferred Securities with an
aggregate liquidation amount equal to the aggregate principal amount at
maturity of the Pledged Treasury Securities in exchange for the release of such
Pledged Treasury Securities in accordance with the terms of the Purchase
Contract Agreement and the Pledge Agreement. A Holder may recreate Stock
Purchase Units only in integral multiples of 40 Treasury Stock Purchase Units
for 40 Stock Purchase Units.

      If a Tax Event Redemption has occurred, a Stock Purchase Unit Holder may
not create Treasury Stock Purchase Units, and a Treasury Stock Purchase Unit
Holder may not recreate a Stock Purchase Unit.

      The Company shall pay, on each Payment Date, the Purchase Contract
Payments payable in respect of each Purchase Contract to the Person in whose
name the Stock Purchase Units Certificate evidencing such Purchase Contract is
registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such Payment Date.
Purchase Contract Payments will be payable at the office of the Purchase
Contract Agent in New York City or, at the option of the Holder, by check
mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto at such address as it
appears on the Security Register.

      The Company has the right to defer payment of all or part of the Purchase
Contract Payments in respect of each Purchase Contract until no later than the
Purchase Contract Settlement Date. If the Company so elects to defer Purchase
Contract Payments, the Company shall pay additional Purchase Contract Payments
on such deferred installments of Purchase Contract Payments at a rate equal to
___% per annum, compounding quarterly, until such deferred installments are
paid. In the event that the Company elects to defer the payment of Purchase
Contract Payments on the Purchase Contracts until the Purchase Contract
Settlement Date, each Holder will receive on the Purchase Contract Settlement
Date the aggregate amount of accrued and unpaid Purchase Contract Payments.

      The Purchase Contracts and all obligations and rights of the Company and
the Holders thereunder, including, without limitation, the rights of the
Holders to receive and the obligation of the Company to pay any Purchase
Contract Payments, shall immediately and automatically terminate, without the
necessity of any notice or action by any Holder, the Purchase Contract Agent or
the Company, if, on or prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, a
Termination

                                      A-11
<PAGE>

Event shall have occurred. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the
Company shall promptly but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter
give written notice to the Purchase Contract Agent, the Collateral Agent and
the Holders, at their addresses as they appear in the Security Register. Upon
and after the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Collateral Agent shall
release the Preferred Securities or the appropriate Applicable Ownership
Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) of the
Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be, from the Pledge in accordance with the
provisions of the Pledge Agreement.

      Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of the Purchase
Contract Agreement, at the option of the Holder thereof, Purchase Contracts
underlying Securities may be settled early ("Early Settlement") as provided in
the Purchase Contract Agreement. In order to exercise the right to effect Early
Settlement with respect to any Purchase Contracts evidenced by this Stock
Purchase Units Certificate, the Holder of this Stock Purchase Units Certificate
shall deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent at the Corporate Trust Office an
Election to Settle Early form set forth below and any other documents requested
by the Purchase Contract Agent duly completed and accompanied by payment in the
form of immediately available funds payable to the order of the Company in an
amount (the "Early Settlement Amount") equal to (i) the product of (A) $25
times (B) the number of Purchase Contracts with respect to which the Holder has
elected to effect Early Settlement, plus (ii) if such delivery is made with
respect to any Purchase Contracts during the period from the close of business
on any Record Date for any Payment Date to the opening of business on such
Payment Date, an amount equal to the Purchase Contract Payments payable on such
Payment Date with respect to such Purchase Contracts.

      Upon Early Settlement of Purchase Contracts by a Holder of the related
Securities, the Pledged Preferred Securities, Pledged [Subordinated] Notes or
the appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of
the definition of such term) of the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be,
underlying such Securities shall be released from the Pledge as provided in the
Pledge Agreement and the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of shares
of Common Stock on account of each Purchase Contract forming part of a Stock
Purchase Unit as to which Early Settlement is effected equal to ______ share of
Common Stock per Purchase Contract (the "Early Settlement Rate"). The Early
Settlement Rate shall be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as
the Settlement Rate is adjusted as provided in the Purchase Contract Agreement.

      Upon registration of transfer of this Stock Purchase Units Certificate,
the transferee shall be bound (without the necessity of any other action on the
part of such transferee, except as may be required by the Purchase Contract
Agent pursuant to the Purchase Contract Agreement), under the terms of the
Purchase Contract Agreement and the Purchase Contracts evidenced hereby and the
transferor shall be released from the obligations under the Purchase Contracts
evidenced by this Stock Purchase Units Certificate. The Company covenants and
agrees, and the Holder, by its acceptance hereof, likewise covenants and
agrees, to be bound by the provisions of this paragraph.

                                      A-12
<PAGE>

      The Holder of this Stock Purchase Units Certificate, by its acceptance
hereof, authorizes the Purchase Contract Agent to enter into and perform the
related Purchase Contracts forming part of the Stock Purchase Units evidenced
hereby on its behalf as its attorney-in-fact, expressly withholds any consent
to the assumption (i.e., affirmance) of the Purchase Contracts by the Company
or its trustee in the event that the Company becomes the subject of a case
under the Bankruptcy Code, agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions
thereof, covenants and agrees to perform his obligations under such Purchase
Contracts, consents to the provisions of the Purchase Contract Agreement,
authorizes the Purchase Contract Agent to enter into and perform the Purchase
Contract Agreement and the Pledge Agreement on its behalf as its
attorney-in-fact, and consents to the Pledge of the Preferred Securities or the
appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the
definition of such term) of the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be,
underlying this Stock Purchase Units Certificate pursuant to the Pledge
Agreement. The Holder further covenants and agrees that, to the extent and in
the manner provided in the Purchase Contract Agreement and the Pledge
Agreement, but subject to the terms thereof, payments in respect to the
aggregate liquidation amount of the Pledged Preferred Securities or the
appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the
definition of such term) of the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be, on the
Purchase Contract Settlement Date shall be paid by the Collateral Agent to the
Company in satisfaction of such Holder's obligations under such Purchase
Contract and such Holder shall acquire no right, title or interest in such
payments.

      Subject to certain exceptions, the provisions of the Purchase Contract
Agreement may be amended with the consent of the Holders of a majority of the
Purchase Contracts.

      The Purchase Contracts shall be governed by, and construed in accordance
with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of laws
principles thereof.

      The Company, the Purchase Contract Agent and its Affiliates and any agent
of the Company or the Purchase Contract Agent may treat the Person in whose
name this Stock Purchase Units Certificate is registered as the owner of the
Stock Purchase Units evidenced hereby for the purpose of receiving payments of
distributions payable quarterly on the Preferred Securities, receiving payments
of Purchase Contract Payments, performance of the Purchase Contracts and for
all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not any payments in respect thereof
be overdue and notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, and neither the
Company, the Purchase Contract Agent nor any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.

      The Purchase Contracts shall not, prior to the settlement thereof,
entitle the Holder to any of the rights of a holder of shares of Common Stock.

      A copy of the Purchase Contract Agreement is available for inspection at
the offices of the Purchase Contract Agent.

      This Treasury Stock Purchase Units Certificate certifies that

maturity pledged to secure the obligations of the Holder under such Purchase

Interest (as specified in clause (B) of the definition of such term) and the
Purchase Contract Payments will be payable at the office of the Purchase
Contract Agent in New York City or, at the option of the Company, by check
mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address appears on

      Reference is hereby made to the further provisions set forth on the
reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same
effect as if set forth at this place.

            (REVERSE OF TREASURY STOCK PURCHASE UNITS CERTIFICATE)

      Each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby is governed by a Purchase
Contract Agreement, dated as of ___________, 20__ (as may be supplemented from
time to time, the "Purchase Contract Agreement") between the Company and
[                      ], as Purchase Contract Agent (including its successors
thereunder, herein called the "Purchase Contract Agent"), to which the Purchase

      Unless a Cash Settlement or an Early Settlement has occurred, each

      based on the Applicable Market Value, equal to $25; and

            (3) if the Applicable Market Value is less than or equal to the

      in each case subject to adjustment as provided in the Purchase Contract

1/10,000th of a share).

      No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon settlement of
Purchase Contracts, as provided in Section 5.09 of the Purchase Contract

      Each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby, which is settled either through

Treasury Stock Purchase Unit to purchase at the Purchase Price for cash, and
the Company to sell, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Early

third Trading Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date.

      The "Closing Price" per share of Common Stock on any date of
determination means the:

            (1) closing sale price as of the close of the principal trading

      price) per share on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the "NYSE") on
      such date;

            (2) if the Common Stock is not listed for trading on the NYSE on
      any such date, the closing sale price per share as reported in the
      composite transactions for the principal United States securities

            (3) if the Common Stock is not so listed on a United States

      share as reported by The Nasdaq National Market;

            (4) if the Common Stock is not so reported, the last quoted bid

      the National Quotation Bureau or similar organization; or

            (5) if such bid price is not available, the average of the
      mid-point of the last bid and ask prices of the Common Stock on such date
      from at least three nationally recognized independent investment banking
      firms retained for this purpose by the Company.

      A "Trading Day" means a day on which the Common Stock (1) is not
suspended from trading on any national or regional securities exchange or
association or over-the-counter market at the close of business and (2) has
traded at least once on the national or regional securities exchange or

trading of the Common Stock.

      In accordance with the terms of the Purchase Contract Agreement, the
Holder of this Treasury Stock Purchase Unit shall pay the Purchase Price for
the shares of the Common Stock purchased pursuant to each Purchase Contract
evidenced hereby either by effecting a Cash Settlement or an Early Settlement
of each such Purchase Contract or by applying a principal amount of the Pledged
Treasury Securities underlying such Holder's Treasury Stock Purchase Unit equal
to the Stated Amount of such Purchase Contract to the purchase of the Common
Stock. A Holder of Treasury Stock Purchase Unit who does not effect, prior to
or on 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the fifth Business Day immediately
preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, an effective Cash Settlement,
or who does not effect on or prior to 5:00 p.m.

                                      B-6
<PAGE>

(New York City time) on the seventh Business Day prior to the Purchase Contract
Settlement Date an effective Early Settlement, shall pay the Purchase Price for
the shares of Common Stock to be issued under the related Purchase Contract
from the proceeds of the Pledged Treasury Securities.

      The Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock in
respect of a Purchase Contract or deliver any certificates therefor to the
Holder unless it shall have received payment of the aggregate purchase price
for the shares of Common Stock to be purchased thereunder in the manner herein
set forth.

      Each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby and all obligations and rights of
the Company and the Holder thereunder shall terminate if a Termination Event
shall occur. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Company shall give
written notice to the Purchase Contract Agent and to the Holders, at their
addresses as they appear in the Security Register. Upon and after the
occurrence of a Termination Event, the Collateral Agent shall release the
Pledged Treasury Securities (as defined in the Pledge Agreement) forming a part
of each Treasury Stock Purchase Unit. A Treasury Stock Purchase Unit shall
thereafter represent the right to receive the interest in the Treasury Security
forming a part of such Treasury Stock Purchase Unit, in accordance with the
terms of the Purchase Contract Agreement and the Pledge Agreement.

      The Treasury Stock Purchase Units Certificates are issuable only in
registered form and only in denominations of a single Treasury Stock Purchase
and any integral multiple thereof. The transfer of any Treasury Stock Purchase
Certificate will be registered and Treasury Stock Purchase Certificates may be
exchanged as provided in the Purchase Contract Agreement. The Security
Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate
endorsements and transfer documents permitted by the Purchase Contract
Agreement. No service charge shall be required for any such registration of
transfer or exchange, but the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge payable in connection therewith. A Holder who elects to substitute
Preferred Securities or [Subordinated] Notes, for Treasury Securities, thereby
recreating Stock Purchase Units, shall be responsible for any fees or expenses
associated therewith. Except as provided in the Purchase Contract Agreement,
for so long as the Purchase Contract underlying a Treasury Stock Purchase Unit
remains in effect, such Treasury Stock Purchase Unit shall not be separable
into its constituent parts, and the rights and obligations of the Holder of
such Treasury Stock Purchase Unit in respect of the Treasury Security and the
Purchase Contract constituting such Treasury Stock Purchase Unit may be
transferred and exchanged only as a Treasury Stock Purchase Unit.

      A Holder of Treasury Stock Purchase Units may recreate Stock Purchase
Units by delivering to the Securities Intermediary Preferred Securities with an
aggregate liquidation amount, or [Subordinated] Notes with an aggregate
principal amount, equal to the aggregate principal amount at maturity of the
Pledged Treasury Securities in exchange for the release of

                                      B-7
<PAGE>

such Pledged Treasury Securities in accordance with the terms of the Purchase
Contract Agreement and the Pledge Agreement. From and after such substitution,
the Holder's Security shall be referred to as a "Stock Purchase Unit". Any such
creation of Stock Purchase Units may be effected only in multiples of 40
Treasury Stock Purchase Units for 40 Stock Purchase Units.

      A Holder of Stock Purchase Units may recreate Treasury Stock Purchase
Units by delivering to the Securities Intermediary Treasury Securities in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate liquidation amount of the
Pledged Preferred Securities or the aggregate principal amount at maturity of
the Pledged [Subordinated] Notes, as the case may be, in accordance with the
terms of the Purchase Contract Agreement and the Pledge Agreement. Any such
recreation of Treasury Stock Purchase Units may be effected only in multiples
of 40 Stock Purchase Units for 40 Treasury Stock Purchase Units.

      If a Tax Event Redemption has occurred, a Treasury Stock Purchase Unit
Holder may not recreate Stock Purchase Units, and a Stock Purchase Unit Holder
may not create a Treasury Stock Purchase Unit.

      The Company shall pay, on each Payment Date, the Purchase Contract
Payments payable in respect of each Purchase Contract to the Person in whose
name the Treasury Stock Purchase Units Certificate evidencing such Purchase
Contract is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such
Payment Date. Purchase Contract Payments will be payable at the office of the
Purchase Contract Agent in New York City or, at the option of the Holder, by
check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto at such address as
it appears on the Security Register.

      The Company has the right to defer payment of all or part of the Purchase
Contract Payments in respect of each Purchase Contract until no later than the
Purchase Contract Settlement Date. If the Company so elects to defer Purchase
Contract Payments, the Company shall pay additional Purchase Contract Payments
on such deferred installments of Purchase Contract Payments at a rate equal to
___% per annum, compounding quarterly, until such deferred installments are
paid. In the event that the Company elects to defer the payment of Purchase
Contract Payments on the Purchase Contracts until the Purchase Contract
Settlement Date), each Holder will receive on the Purchase Contract Settlement
Date the aggregate amount of accrued and unpaid Purchase Contract Payments.

      The Purchase Contracts and all obligations and rights of the Company and
the Holders thereunder, including, without limitation, the rights of the
Holders to receive and the obligation of the Company to pay any Purchase
Contract Payments, shall immediately and automatically terminate, without the
necessity of any notice or action by any Holder, the Purchase Contract Agent or
the Company, if, on or prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, a
Termination Event shall have occurred. Upon the occurrence of a Termination
Event, the Company shall promptly but in no event later than two Business Days
thereafter give written notice to the Purchase Contract Agent, the Collateral
Agent and the Holders, at their addresses as they appear in the Security
Register. Upon and after the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Collateral

                                      B-8

Agent shall release the Treasury Securities from the Pledge in accordance with
the provisions of the Pledge Agreement. A Treasury Stock Purchase Unit shall
thereafter represent the right to receive the interest in the Treasury Security
forming a part of such Treasury Stock Purchase Unit, in accordance with the
terms of the Purchase Contract Agreement and the Pledge Agreement.

      Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of the Purchase
Contract Agreement, at the option of the Holder thereof, Purchase Contracts
underlying Securities may be settled early ("Early Settlement") as provided in
the Purchase Contract Agreement. In order to exercise the right to effect Early
Settlement with respect to any Purchase Contracts evidenced by this Stock
Purchase Units Certificate, the Holder of this Treasury Stock Purchase Units
Certificate shall deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent at the Corporate Trust
Office an Election to Settle Early form set forth below and any other documents
requested by the Purchase Contract Agent duly completed and accompanied by
payment in the form of immediately available funds payable to the order of the
Company in an amount (the "Early Settlement Amount") equal to (i) the product
of (A) $25 times (B) the number of Purchase Contracts with respect to which the
Holder has elected to effect Early Settlement, plus (ii) if such delivery is
made with respect to any Purchase Contracts during the period from the close of
business on any Record Date for any Payment Date to the opening of business on
such Payment Date, an amount equal to the Purchase Contract Payments payable on
such Payment Date with respect to such Purchase Contracts.

      Upon Early Settlement of Purchase Contracts by a Holder of the related
Securities, the Pledged Treasury Securities underlying such Securities shall be
released from the Pledge as provided in the Pledge Agreement and the Holder
shall be entitled to receive a number of shares of Common Stock on account of
each Purchase Contract forming part of a Treasury Stock Purchase Unit as to
which Early Settlement is effected equal to ______ share of Common Stock per
Purchase Contract (the "Early Settlement Rate"). The Early Settlement Rate
shall be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the Settlement
Rate is adjusted as provided in the Purchase Contract Agreement.

      Upon registration of transfer of this Treasury Stock Purchase
Certificate, the transferee shall be bound (without the necessity of any other
action on the part of such transferee, except as may be required by the
Purchase Contract Agent pursuant to the Purchase Contract Agreement), under the
terms of the Purchase Contract Agreement and the Purchase Contracts evidenced
hereby and the transferor shall be released from the obligations under the
Purchase Contracts evidenced by this Treasury Stock Purchase Units Certificate.
The Company covenants and agrees, and the Holder, by its acceptance hereof,
likewise covenants and agrees, to be bound by the provisions of this paragraph.

      The Holder of this Treasury Stock Purchase Units Certificate, by its
acceptance hereof, authorizes the Purchase Contract Agent to enter into and
perform the related Purchase Contracts forming part of the Treasury Stock
Purchase Units evidenced hereby on its behalf as its attorney-in-fact,
expressly withholds any consent to the assumption (i.e., affirmance) of the
Purchase Contracts by the Company or its trustee in the event that the Company
becomes the

subject of a case under the Bankruptcy Code, agrees to be bound by the terms
and provisions thereof, covenants and agrees to perform its obligations under
such Purchase Contracts, consents to the provisions of the Purchase Contract
Agreement, authorizes the Purchase Contract Agent to enter into and perform the
Purchase Contract Agreement and the Pledge Agreement on its behalf as its
attorney-in-fact, and consents to the Pledge of the Treasury Securities
underlying this Treasury Stock Purchase Units Certificate pursuant to the
Pledge Agreement. The Holder further covenants and agrees, that, to the extent
and in the manner provided in the Purchase Contract Agreement and the Pledge
Agreement, but subject to the terms thereof, payments in respect to the
aggregate principal amount of the Pledged Treasury Securities on the Purchase
Contract Settlement Date shall be paid by the Collateral Agent to the Company
in satisfaction of such Holder's obligations under such Purchase Contract and
such Holder shall acquire no right, title or interest in such payments.

      Subject to certain exceptions, the provisions of the Purchase Contract
Agreement may be amended with the consent of the Holders of a majority of the
Purchase Contracts.

      The Purchase Contracts shall for all purposes be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard
to conflicts of laws principles thereof.

      The Company, the Purchase Contract Agent and its Affiliates and any agent
of the Company or the Purchase Contract Agent may treat the Person in whose
name this Treasury Stock Purchase Units Certificate is registered as the owner
of the Treasury Stock Purchase Units evidenced hereby for the purpose of
receiving payments of interest on the Treasury Securities, receiving payments
of Purchase Contract Payments, performance of the Purchase Contracts and for
all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not any payments in respect thereof
be overdue and notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, and neither the
Company, the Purchase Contract Agent nor any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.

      The Purchase Contracts shall not, prior to the settlement thereof,
entitle the Holder to any of the rights of a holder of shares of Common Stock.

      A copy of the Purchase Contract Agreement is available for inspection at
the offices of the Purchase Contract Agent.
